When I read Wicked I hated it. I stopped reading at one point and it took a while for me to go and finish it.

What I disliked the most was Yackle. (I could not remember her name and I find it hilarious that the Wikipedia article drops her entirely).

And, yes, I do like the musical better, but not because it is 'happy.'

In the book, the Wizard of Oz narrative happens because of Yackle. Every time it might go off course, every time Elphaba or the people around her might be happy, Yackle intervenes. Yackle makes the story happen. While some actions do feel like a natural extension, nothing in the book really feels inevitable.

In the musical, though, it is inevitable. Take off the very end and you have a tragedy born from strong, incompatible morals and goals.

(Also, I hated the Philosophy Club scene which felt completely shoehorned in so that everyone was traumatized and miserable. Maybe now I'd see a reason for it, but I read this nearly 20 years ago and I've zero desire to ever read it again.

Let Weiss schnee have daddy issues, we all know it’s plausible

Ew ew ew ew

Just because Weiss has daddy issues doesn't mean she would ever project them on Jaune incel Arc. Makes no fucking sense at all, Weiss would never be attracted to him either way and it's obviously just to boost a certain VA ego's

Fucking gross

I really think the theme of this entire plotline is "gods silliest soldiers are the only ones who can maybe fix this mess."

Garry, Cliff, Dorjan, and Yackle all being vital to things and all having figured out stuff on their own ends is great. It's so incredibly funny that people just view them as too silly and/or dumb to actually be any form of threat. Meanwhile they've put things together better anyone else has so far.

When the Lion learned that the Scarecrow had been nominated to succeed Lady Glinda to the Throne—the Scarecrow elevated to be the Head of Oz, while the Lion groveled, a Lord Low Plenipotentiary!—well, he lost more acreage of guts to stomach acids. Anhedonia, a doctor said. Fear of pleasure. He almost bit the doctor, for the pleasure of it.

[just-some-guy-at-shiz]

When I read the novel for the first time, I was surprised that Boq and Nessa didn’t have a thing to do with each other. Fortunate for him, of course, but unexpected.

I sort of felt as though it was a missed opportunity. Mostly I agreed with the decisions made in both versions as necessary to their respective narratives. But I was bit let down that Glinda wasn’t a larger presence in the original, and I was let down that the tin man and scarecrow have absolutely no connections to Elphaba. That they’re as random as one would assume initially. We spend a good deal of time in Boq’s mind at Shiz, but then he suddenly leaves the narrative, only to return briefly, as a coincidence that could have been anyone. Glinda is quite similar. I felt like something was lost. But I know this has some intentional meaning.

The foreshadowing in the musical almost implies destiny. The way that every character appearance, every interaction, drives the plot and leads to their eventual fates. This is the way of musicals. The novel, despite Yackle’s talk early on, discards the notion of any sort of predetermination. So much happenstance. So many occurrences that just happen and then have no influence whatsoever later on. More like real life, I suppose. Not everything and everyone has some huge meaning. Sometimes things happen just to happen. Sometimes you forge bonds with people close to you and think you’ll always be connected, and then you don’t see each other, and if you ever meet again, you’re essentially strangers. You don’t have any connection, save a knowledge that you used to, and a sort of guilty obligation to revive it despite the lack of the friendship to do so in any way that matters. Just like Boq first telling Elphaba how they knew each other when they were kids. That’s the only foreshadowing in this book, hinting at the way all of these friends will be to each other with time. Sure, we may have known each other. What does it matter now? What does it matter now? What does it even mean anymore?

I wish Boq had stayed a character character in the way he was in the chapters at Shiz. Even if it does mean a tragic metallic fate for the poor guy. But I suppose with the kind of themes the novel has, he had to go on and have an unrelated life. People like Boq and Avaric, with their respective futures, are symbols of… something. Different views on evil, I suppose. Two different sides of the same coin when it comes to indifference. Boq’s indifference on the state of the world at large as long as those close to him are safe. Avaric’s indifference to morality as long as he’s entertained. Avaric’s an a-hole and he claims it proudly, but are we supposed to see Boq’s life too as evil by inaction?

Honestly, I’m happy for him. He seems to have gotten a really good ending compared to his counterpart, and escaped the unhappiness or tragedy of nearly all of his peers (moment of silence for poor Tibbett please). He’s got a family, a nice domestic life. It seems okay to me. He’s not a hero, but is it really evil not to be actively trying to do big things to make a difference? Not everyone can be a revolutionary… but is this simply my lazy, cowardly excuse-making? My projecting?

Elphaba seems to look down on him, the twice they interact in later years. She seems to look down on the fact that he’s content with his life even when the world is still f—ed up.

Is he wrong? What is he in this story?

At Shiz, he wasn’t all that morally lofty. I cite his rooftop escapade, even before he’s pressured into the philosophy club. On the whole though, he’s not a bad person, and he even helps with the whole library books thing. He makes a difference—when doing so is convenient, of course, and (far as I remember) low risk for him, and gives him something exciting to share with his friends. But better than no action at all? He had good intentions, and a better conscience than a lot of people in that friend group. He just didn’t do much with that conscience. He did a few unusually good things. He did a few rather questionable things too, honestly, and didn’t always need peer pressure for it. In his adult life, he cares about Elphaba’s causes, but takes no direct action, only passive following.

Once again he’s the Everyman. Normal life, normal future. Not a hero or a villain or even some lesser position like whatever office Avaric holds (I don’t remember). Just another average anonymous citizen. His college years the most exciting years of his life. Not remembered by history, just by those who knew him. But happy, I think.

Making a difference in the world has a price, and he chose not to pay it. It’s as simple as that.

Does this make him evil? Tell me, tell me, tell me, does this make him evil too? I need to know.

Garry and Yackle reading those texts had the vibe of teenagers reading another kids diary and honestly it was hilarious

All the better that they ran into him at the end and just had to act like they hadn't read all of that
