I love how Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel specifically cameoed during One Short Day, because that’s the song where Glinda and Elphaba are talking about their future together- a future that we know they’ll never get. BUT having Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth there feels like we got to see a version of Elphaba and Glinda who DID get their happy ending together living in the Emerald City 💚🩷

Two good friends. Two best friends.

I hope wicked 2 ends with an 8 1/2 minute long gratuitous lesbian sex scene with crying and handholding while fiyero politely waits outside. For the girls

my head if they made inside out

the first time i watched wicked i didn’t rlly see the throuple thing with fiyero, elphaba & glinda. but on my second watch there was this moment where i was like OMG THROUPLE!!!! and i’m not rlly sure why

but the moment when glinda changes her name & she’s like “im making an announcement! i’m going to change my name!”, fiyero immediately so concerned just says “your name?!” & glinda very quickly turns to look at him and says “yes😇”

then elphaba equally as concerned as fiyero goes “are you sure???” and glinda again turns quickly to say “yes😇” & in the theatre i was like omg that was such a throuple moment between them

elphaba & fiyero were just looking at her so fondly & concerned afterward as well like they’re both thinking “well, our gf is always doing silly things, but she’s glinda so we’ll just go along with it” i love them

I find it hilariously passive-aggressive that Fiyero, Boq, the lion, and Dorothy really went to the Wizard to ask for a brain, a heart, courage, and a way home, four things that the Wizard himself doesn’t even have.

A brain? No. He couldn’t even do the “oh this powerful green woman’s age = time since I last saw a woman and gave her a mysterious magical green beverage + 9 months” math.

A heart? Don’t make me laugh. Elphaba pleads with him multiple times to care more about the Animals than his own power and he remains unmoved, he has no problem killing Nessarose to get to Elphaba, and honestly, if I were to list all the reasons the Wizard doesn’t have a heart, we’d be here all day.

Courage? He spends his days hidden behind microphones, tricks, and illusions. Even when he regrets his actions in the musical, he doesn’t even have the courage to try to clear his daughter’s name or admit to his crimes.

A way home? You might think he has this, but he doesn’t. Elphaba and Galinda popped his hot air balloon in the movie, as far as I know, the Wizard never gets back to Nebraska in the books, and in the musical, he runs off stage, but it’s never confirmed he made it back to Nebraska or that he has any way to do so since he’s not magical and has no idea what brought him to Oz in the first place.

Even if Dorothy, the public, or even Elphie don’t see it, I hope Jon M. Chu and Ari use flashbacks and whatnot to show Glinda truly fly off the handle when Morrible kills Nessa.

By that point, she’s been using her political shrewdness to survive in this cage the Wizard and Morrible have devised—at the very least complicit if not overtly active in the propaganda scheme to hunt Elphie—for years. (I have a feeling this will get toned down to highlight her manipulative abilities & maybe even be her trying to convince herself “I’m protecting the animals & Elphie as well as I can from the inside,” in light of how the film portrayed their relationship. But we’ll see.) Fiyero would have left her—had the courage to chase the woman they both love, and paid for it—already. It’s the most devastating situation for Elphaba and Nessa, then another flavor of horrifying in Glinda’s position.

Ari has already shown her commitment to playing up the cracks in Glinda’s facade, and it’s clear she’s with Cynthia in terms of their queerness. We saw it throughout Pt. 1, and in “Defying Gravity,” both their hearts break on screen. On Glinda’s end, seeing her face when Morrible “hugs” her after telling all Oz to murder the girl she’s in love with…

They changed each other “For Good.” In the books, Glinda eventually does depose Morrible and the Wizard. And I want to see her, realizing this irreversible violence they’ve inflicted, snap on the inside.

PART 1

PART 2

AUTHOR'S NOTE: So what should I say? Well this is my first fanfic on Tumblr and English is not my first language. Thanks Google Translate. This one-shot came from a girl in great need of Nicholas Chavez, I kindly ask that you please forgive the mistakes. As soon as I can I will write the second part with more about Father Charlie, this is just the introduction...

I wrote it listening to Tear You Apart and Seven Wonders

Thank you for your attention!

You thought you had everything under control when you moved to this small town. Away from family or acquaintances that you had no desire to see again with a comfortable home decorated in your own special way. You were given the title of exotic by the residents of the place, they didn't seem like they would throw you into the fire like the witches of Salem but you knew that some were afraid of you even if you didn't show magic in public.

Your always black clothes didn't go unnoticed although no one ever said anything directly to you, you wore extravagant necklaces from time to time but what you kept around your neck was often a pentagram and a cross that reflected every movement you made. Walking calmly with a lit cigarette between your fingers, you observed the crowd of people entering the city's main church. You weren't able to determine which audience that place attracted because they ranged from children to old women marked by time.

For a moment you considered going into the crowd, it had been so long since you stepped foot in a Catholic place and memories of your childhood flashed through your mind. You weren't going home anytime soon, there was nothing stopping you from getting in other than your mind. You knew that sermons about sin wouldn't make you change your beliefs, you found help by practicing witchcraft (or what people called the practices you practiced) your relationship with magic was something different from anything you knew and you felt welcomed worshiping their own gods.

You remembered your first mentor, she taught you the basis of everything you know, helping you deal with your complicated feelings during this process. Respect although resentment about the religions that condemned your existence was always present in you. Taking a deep breath while looking around, you crossed the street towards the church without thinking. You stubbed out your cigarette on the sidewalk then took a deep breath until you walked up the stairs.

The church was big, the first thing you thought of was the large tithe they earned on the faithful. You looked for a pew, sitting down at the end then a few minutes later the mass started, it was everything the way you remembered it. Except for one thing.

The priest was too handsome to be a priest, you thought, the man must have been a few years older than you. His hair was perfectly combed back to highlight his chiseled face, his jaw clenched as he waited to speak. You quickly realized that the young women didn't come just because of the Lord's word. The mass continued while the pentagram on your chest weighed as if saying you were in the wrong place, the priest's firm voice walked through the church with its hoarse timbre. You would definitely be lying if you said you weren't attracted to the man.

“What’s his name?” You shyly asked a nun sitting in the front seat. “Fa-father Charlie Mayhew.” The woman responded with a small smile before turning her attention to the lectern. You thanked him politely as you stared at the man, you knew his name now. Father Charlie Mayhew You recited in your mind as the mass continued.

You couldn't take your eyes off that pretty face, in disbelief that someone so young had chosen this vocation. You didn't hear anything until he spoke then it stopped again like a cycle, even with the clothes on you could tell that his body was defined as the outline of his muscles could still be seen. Then he looked at you, you thought about avoiding it but it was too late. Caught like a naughty child doing something he shouldn't, you kept looking until he looked away. You smiled internally.

The hours passed towards the end of the celebration, many people headed towards the exit but not you. Never going with the flow of things you began to explore the church, observing the colorful stained glass windows and the pattern of lit candles. In your peripheral vision you saw Father Charlie talking to a couple, his voice was relaxed although he still maintained his posture.

You stopped at another stained glass window, your eyes attentive to the details. “You’re new here, aren’t you?” Father Charlie asked standing next to you, you could smell him and it almost made you fall over. “The church is not used to a new face.” He said, his clear voice leaving you quiet for a moment before he began “I recently moved to the city, Father. In fact, this is the first church I’ve been to in a long time.” His voice doesn't show shame like other people do when they talk to Charlie.

Sometimes intimidated by the man's posture or beauty.“I'm glad to hear that.” you could see the sincerity in his words although he tried to hide something. “Know that the church is open to welcome you, dear.” Charlie approached, turning his face to him: “God has ways of rescuing his lost children to salvation. No matter what circumstance.”

His gaze dropped to your chest where the pentagram rested somewhat hidden by your clothes. His heavy hand touched the necklace with a little force. “The confessional is open on Wednesdays. If you are interested, I will be waiting for you.” He left without looking back, leaving you uneasy as you watched him.

I love how much Jon M. Chu, Ariana Grande, and the rest of the Wicked crew included little reminders that Glinda is constantly, CONSTANTLY performing.

When Glinda first appears to the Munchkins, she closes her eyes and is mentally readying herself for the emotional pain that’s about to follow (pretending to celebrate with the Munchkins that Elphie is dead) before snapping into her “Good Witch” pose in the bubble.

When she first enters Shiz, she goes from sitting in the front of the boat and playing with the water to scrambling to sit on top of the luggage pile so she can enter the school looking serene and queen-like.

Those are just two off the top of my head, but I’m sure there’s a ton more. It’s such a great way to show Glinda’s people/appearances/“Popular” skills and mindset.

I expected Idina and Kristin to have cameos, but never imagined they’d have an entire verse to sing during One Short Day. I cried tears of joy.

the connections the Oz universe has to the queer community will never be matched. "are they a friend of dorothy?" has always been a discreet way to ask if someone's queer. and now Wicked has come out and everyone's shipping gelphie and loving it. I love Oz. it's the gayest fictional world ever.
