I even added a link. Now you have no excuse. You're welcome 😌🫡

"Wonderful" vs "The Wizard and I" parallels (mild Wicked Act II spoilers under the cut, but know, those colors are not just for the LGBT rainbows)

Jon M. Chu and Academy Award winner Nathan FUCKING Crowley are INSANE for this. I don't know which one of you came up with this, but you guys are absolutely insane.

The Wizard and I is obviously a song about Elphaba wanting to be with the Wizard and change the world with him. In the movie, they use this spinning colorful glass thing, and the light shining through it, as Elphaba dreams about not being green anymore. Interestingly enough, if you light Elphaba's green skin with pink light, it results in a color very close to Cynthia Erivo's natural skin color, and Jon confirmed that this is 100% intentional.

And pink obviously means Glinda.

Back in What is This Feeling, Elphaba is lit with pink but only from one side, and it has the same effect.

In Wonderful on stage, the Wizard tempts Elphaba with rehabilitating her image and getting exactly what she dreamed about. But in the movie, unlike on stage, it seems like he has Glinda as a part of this temptation as well. We don't know yet how the scene will play out exactly, but what we can see with our own eyes is that the exact same colors show up, spinning around, and I think the scene with Elphaba and Glinda bathed in pink is part of the same sequence as well (you can see parts of the Wizard's throne room wall on the sides in the background) and just... my brain explodes from this.

Obviously Wonderful already had the music cue from The Wizard and I in it, but to give us this strong of a visual for it. I am just constantly amazed by these filmmakers. 😭

sapphics how are we feeling???

I believe that Solas was the brain of the rebellion, whilst Felassan was its heart. Solas was an ideologue (Anaris calls him that) who had this vision of personal freedom, he must have shared this with Felassan, who probably was taken by this idea and gathered people to their cause putting Solas as figurehead due to his power rivaling this of Evanuris. We see that it's Felassan who actually ran Dread Wolf's "PR campaign" because Solas is not a team player when he's in charge.

Felassan felt closer to the people. He could understand them better, whereas Solas, despite his best intentions was always one step higher from the start because of the mere fact of being Mythal's second from the moment he took a body.

There's this one entry "On the life in the Lighthouse" describing one of Solas's war councils, it concludes:

"Finally, a heated conversation silhouetted against glass with quick shadows darting behind it The argument ends with a wordless but unmistakable impression: "You summoned them: you feed them."

I think this is actually Solas talking to Felassan.

this is a beautiful analogy! i love the idea of solas and felassan each embodying a really specific role (beyond the original ideal solas encompassed) during the rebellion, not only because it's poetic af but i also think it puts things into perspective. it is fascinating for me to have solas be confirmed as a (once, but no longer) spirit of wisdom, but then for us in the regret-memories to watch that ideal be so completely removed from the emotional/personal application a revolution requires.

like, what is a mind without a heart? what is wisdom without a soul to carry it? what even are the archetypes of acumen/insight/foresight when the vision you're pursuing (and recruiting others to pursue) relies on the lives/wills of non-spirit, flesh & blood beings? and THEN if some ideals are inherently neutral in nature, such as wisdom (though i guess i could also argue that it's Good bc it's technically a 'virtue'), how does that affect the world around them when they are no longer just that ideal? i think the being part in all of this is key, too. solas is a lot of things, but the tragic part for me is that he could've been so much more than just the archetype of corrupted! wisdom. from what we know about spirits being corrupted into demons by others who use them inappropriately (even if it's unwillingly) cole's personal quest in dai already showed us: it is excruciating for a spirit to accept that their nature has changed and therefore requires a new kind of 'embodiment'. but, it's possible. you just cannot get there without that acceptance, and then the subsequent integration.

(but, tbh, i do like solas's character as it is because i think he's so bizarre and consistently inconsistent with his alignment.)

all of this to say!!! -> i love love love what you wrote here and i'll think some more on it. "... because solas is not a team player when he's in charge." YES! and i love that about him! bc what the shit!! i want to punch him in the face! there is so much here to consider!

S3 I want Aziraphale to reach out slowly to take off Crowley's glasses, then hesitate, but Crowley leans in the tiniest bit to let him

I experienced existential dread today when I realized how far the Chao Planoy Cinematic Universe expends and that I have actually seen most of it but that everything is interconnected but in the adaptation it's not the same actresses who play the same characters so this like the most complex multiverse ever (that's an hyperbole) and I am down this rabbithole so bad that I'll probably never be able to climb out and all these connections exist in my brain
