One of my favorite things the movie did was show just how much Elphaba was winning, and how desperate Galinda had to be to give her the hat. Through Popular she's painted as having the upper had, but right at the end it shows Morrible lavishing Elphaba with attention, she's whipped the whole school into such a tizz she can no longer control them, and she's practically eating alone. Galinda thinks of herself as truly a good person, sure she manipulates people (see Boq) but she can tell herself it's for the benefit of them both. There's no way she can tell herself that with the hat, she knew the looks and words that would follow that hat, but she also knew it would never come back to her. Elphaba wasn't the kind to point blame, to scream 'you tricked me', all Galinda has to do is live with the guilt. And she can't.

Ooo I definitely picked up on this! That bit at the end of What Is This Feeling? really does demonstrate it and I think it's so interesting that they really showed this in the film. It's been a hot minute since I've seen the stage musical, but I do think they played more into Elphaba deciding to have the upper hand in the movie. I think Elphaba is such a strong character though - she's had to deal with this all her life anyway, so what's another person? And I think you can kind of see her come to terms with that.

And then, Glinda gives her the hat. And Elphaba thinks, huh maybe we've turned a corner. So, as a kind gesture back, she insists on Morrible teaching Glinda too. And when Glinda realises this, you're absolutely right, she's left with nothing but guilt. Because she definitely intended to trick her. It's a real turning point. After Morrible declares that Elphaba will room with Glinda, she says 'I didn't get my way. I need to lie down.' In the Ozdust, she doesn't get her way again. Yes, Elphaba is humiliated, but she doesn't feel good about it this time. She's never felt guilty for mocking Elphaba before, but this time she realises that her roommate thought she was being genuine and actually wanted her there. As a result, she did something nice in return - the very thing Glinda has wanted since she started at Shiz. The very thing she was jealous of Elphaba for in the first place.

I think it's a real wake up call for Glinda. And boy does she have a lot of grovelling to do.

Thanks for the Ask!!

omfg. i just read your piece “moments in twilight” and i am awestruck. first of all, it is SO criminally underrated and i pity everyone who hasn’t read it. your writing style is just wow. reading your words is like reading a whole collection of SO SO SO incredibly well-written poems. your work is poetry and you’ve changed my brain chemistry for the rest of my life i fear. you had me so invested and sobbing inconsolably at the end. THANK YOU for writing and please never stop 😭🙏. your piece gave me shivers. don’t even get me started on all the beautiful character development. the way you write sukuna is 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌 and every metaphor you use just fits so perfectly. i don’t know how else to explain it but your writing is simply ethereal

ahhhh nonie!!!!

this was such an incredibly kind and sweet thing to say about my writing!!!! that it’s poetry?!?!? it made you cry and shiver?!?!?? that it’s ethereal?!?!? those are one of the highest compliments i can ever get on something i have written, so thankyou so much for taking the time to pop into my inbox and say this!!!

and i am so glad you enjoyed the way I wrote sukuna!!! i was very anxious and kept overthinking his character and the way he would be around the reader, so i’m really glad you thought he was well written <333

i hope you stick around to enjoy my other pieces n never be shy about popping into my inbox to share your thoughts :3

much love,

Lily xo

#💌 lily answers #this was genuinely such a nice thing to wake up to #I absolutely ADOREEEEEE long asks like this it really makes me day #and if any nonies want to assign themselves emojis (the way ari collects anon emojis like they are Pokémon seriously needs to be studied)#then please feel free to do that because it would be so nice to kind of have a semi idea of who I’m speaking to heheh :3 #MWAH MWAH I AM HUGGING YOU SO TIGHTLY THOUGH NONIE!!! <333

I love Tumblr because nothing matters here truly. There are no influencers. Having followers doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a site where people post their sporadic thoughts and rb pretty pictures. Anyone who thinks any of this matters is woefully missing the point

#I joined tumblr for the aesthetics and now I’m here bc it’s the most low pressure social media to be on #Instagram is ppl’s highlight reel but Tumblr is where u see their pure thoughts unobstructed and I adore that #It’s very nice to have people to relate to and is def the main appeal to me but I don’t think there’s much more to it than that genuinely #Monetization on tumblr isn’t a thing and probably won’t be so it feels stupid to put more stake than necessary in it. Like you’re in the #Trenches over tumblr of all things. Embarrassing #I know chronically online people exist bc I have seen them in my or somebody else’s inbox but imagine waking up at 70 one day and the #Realization hitting u like a freight time that u wasted all ur time thinking tumblr. TUMBLR. This dying website. Has enough weight for u to #be sending anon hate or reviewing ppl’s blogs like they’re some kind of product. Brother this is licherally tumblr #I choose to laugh at this behavior than take it seriously bc absolutely no one is driving me crazy on my OWN blog. On tumblr dot com.#I refuse #I will do whatever I want forever etc

no promises anymoooooreeeee i'll appear online when i appear online 😭 every time i say "ooh i think life is almost done being overwhelming!" it. becomes even more overwhelming in the dumbest ways. all i can manage rn when i'm not stressing myself into a shut-down state is staring at the wall while listening to youtube essays + mindlessly crocheting.

i might queue up ppls art and fics w/o commentary in the tags... i want other ppl to see what all of my cool friends have made, but i genuinely can't think right now with this monstrous brain fog. i'm really sorry, just. yeah. maybe i'll think of some way to make it up later!!! once the dust has settled!!!! but until then i wuv u and miss u. smiles.

[venting in tags including familial manipulation and ableism. i. didn't mean to write all of that, thiss was originally going to be a main blog post but. aaaaaAAAAAA!!!!!

also no need for replies or anything, i'd turn them off for just the one post if i could kjsndkn, i just needed to get things out and go eep jsjndsfdn ok bye bye bye bye!!!!]

#goddd my family finds it sooooooo funny that i can't do basic tasks! it's soooo funny that i can't even think of a horror movie to watch #on halloween bc i genuinely can't remember a single one right now. it's soooo funny that i can't take cardboard boxes or #old furniture out of my room without help bc i've physically and mentally and emotionally burnt out for Months.#and me not being able to move shit out after two (2) days makes me a hoarder somehow. and ofc hoarding is a moral failing #and my mom has to give me a stern talking-to about hoarding things... that were. again. in my room for 2 days....#[tbc it isnt a moral failing no matter the reason. life is hard and things happen and it can be hard to get rid of things for Reasons.]#nevermind them making constant snide remarks about me using ugly 'mismatched' desk / storage furniture. bc it was free / cheap? no income??#AND!!!!! i have a couple of new diagnoses. which doesn't change much day to day but it does make my family making fun of me #even more dumbfounding. like. this explains a lot of really scary unexplained symptoms that constantly leave me #housebound for weeks but uhhh haha hehe hoho??? so silly so funny that i'm barely conscious for multiple weeks???#and you can see that i'm getting worse but that makes it funnier??? hmm!!!#also nevermind that i've told them the exact reason why i've been like this (read: them) but that ALSO makes it funnier somehow.#but i also can't say shit bc they're doing something ~nice~ for me (out of convenience + after almost a decade of 'don't get comfortable'#and 'don't decorate this room bc it isn't yours' and 'you need to be ready to move out by x date'#only for the date to arrive and them to pull the 'i never said that. and if i did say it i didn't mean it like that.#and if i did mean it like that i don't anymore.' card. + any big renovations are things they wanted anyway. hmmmm!!#and how i have to do all of the phys labor alone bc if i ask for help i get made fun of!!! and yelled at that i'm doing things Wrong #(hint: i'm following instructions to the letter but. my family knows better than those silly things!! ^^ ))#jfc i sure did rant. uh. yeah. things. are really weird and uncomfy and i feel thankful that i finally can have my own things on display #outside of closets and bins again after a decade?? but i'm also waiting for the other shoe to drop / them to tell me i owe them in #some way??? bc that's how it works. 'i'm doing a nice thing you didn't even ask me for so now you have to do whatever i tell you to.'#meanwhile i can't even maladaptive daydream my way through it bc my brain is soup right now. can't remember basic things abt #my interests bc i've been on negative battery / spoons for a couple of months straight and it's only getting worse.#OKAY TLDR i'm not in a state to do anything until everything irl gets settled. and i'm trying So Hard to get it all over with but there's #only so much i can do in a day before i completely shut down. i didn't even get into the insurance stuff i've been fighting too ughhhh.#so if i show up on here in short spurts -- hi! bye! hi!! i wuv and care u!!! hope youre well mwah mwah!!!!!!! i'll post what i can and then #disappear when i need to recharge. it is what it is. i need to try to sleep now... uh if this post disappears when i wake up.... yeah......#📌 [ my posts. ]#💭 [ my thoughts. ]#vent -

how messed up it must be to go from enjoying plays to feeling like ur stuck inside one..

#sif referring to themself as an actor.. hitting the stage as soon as they wake.. remembering their lines..#definitely not the first time ive seen this kind of symbolism but its always a good one and Especially here #bit of a fucked up thing to do to a theater kid #'follow the script'#watching sif redo the friend events (or anything really) is. a bit disturbing sometimes #its nice that theyre a lot more genuine w bonnie no matter what tho :]#th hug is different too.. theyre more comfortable :')#questioning the morality of doing things for everyone bc it makes them closer to him..........#isat #isat spoilers

remember when i said i was writing something fluffy for my next fic? yeah sorry guys i lied.

#i’ll figure something else out but this one’s vv inspired by a theory i have that only really has one singular flaw #genuinely minus one small detail from the book i would genuinely think it’s more likely #we <3 waking up at 5am and ending up writing fic after being uninspired for over a week #edit: and one thing from the games but that’s ASSUMING that it’s gregory’s.#listen i WANT to write nice fluffy hand holding but the parasite the demon in me wants to comply slightly w canon #fe rambles #five nights at freddy's

こんにちは！

どうやってこのアスク始めたらいいか分からないけど、あの、君の絵とても好きです！なんか見るとあったかいような、ほっこりするような気持ちがする。子供の絵本で見るようなアートスタイルで見るといつも微笑みます。

最近アートブロックがあるって聞いたから、頑張れ！ちゃんと休んどいてや！（トランスレーションでこれアグレッシブに聞こえたらごめん）

ありがとう！

thank you anon!!!! i love that people keep telling me my art looks like children’s book illustration thats genuinely the highest compliment to me?!?! i will also probably take a little break just because i’ve been busy with work and school and the burnout is really killing me. thank you so much for all the love!

#dont worry about the translation i perfectly understand you #thank you for taking your time to send me such a sweet message #this was genuinely a really nice thing to wake up to #moewips

YIPPEE i'm actually kind of excited to wake up tomorrow thanks to electrolytes and a hot water bottle! \o/

#in obvious news: being freezing all the time (thanks dysautonomia and winter) and not having a functioning nervous system Feels Bad.#genuinely love to feel like an active and joyous participant in life and the day :P it is so bleak just trying to make the best of things!#and so nice when things are just neutral to good! WAHOO!#don't get me wrong i'm still feeling like garbage but like. alive garbage! a person with electricity in them! there's sparks in my me!#this week i prioritised meeting friends tomorrow over housework which is not something i normally do. trying to. like. feel like that is #something okay to do? very challenging but going okay! i asked for a lift so i can keep the plans i have and someone can give me one!#so i think i will be able to go! unless i wake up tomorrow feeling Much Worse again :P but i have hope!
