I’ve been laughing for 10 minutes at Jonathan’s face in this screenshot because why would you ask that about a movie that’s not out yet? 😭

Like I get this is a 20 year old musical but a lot of people still don’t know much about the 2nd act. These media people are so weird these days…

Tied together

[aidede-camp]

we forget too often that book elphaba canonically has an imaginary marriage to glinda in her head. why are we letting her get away with this?

[aidede-camp]

what on earth does it mean that morrible made the girls have a raunchy vision of heterosexual future and elphaba's unexplained reaction to this was catch glinda in her arms and tell her she loved her and the very same evening blow up about the idea of glinda having sex and then kidnap glinda for one week and they slept in one bed together. elphaba is genuinely the batshit craziest half of gelphie but we're stuck making fun of glinda because she's the only one still alive and around. elphaba was praying to saint glinda and then ghosted the readers as to take no accountability. typical

❝ She didn’t know what she thought. Was Elphaba devil’s spawn? Was she half-elf? Was she punishment for her father’s failure as a preacher, or for her mother’s sloppy morals and bad memory? Or was she merely a physical ailment, a blight like a misshapen apple or a five-legged calf? Nanny knew her worldview was foggy and chaotic, pestered by demons, faith, and folk science.

It didn’t escape her attention, however, that both Melena and Frex had believed uncompromisingly that they would have a boy. Frex was the seventh son of a seventh son, and to add to that powerful equation he was descended from six ministers in a row. Whatever child of either (or any) sex could dare follow in so auspicious a line?

Perhaps, thought Nanny, little green Elphaba chose her own sex, and her own color, and to hell with her parents. ❞

This is how you justify using another medium to tell an already established story.

what living in the gelphie delusions of part 2 feels like

[aidede-camp]

thinking of elphie sobbing as she hugs glinda for one last time, being wrecked with guilt over what she's done and about to do

everyone talks abt how glinda has regrets because we see her in nomtw and she's objectively in the moral wrong for her complicity in the wizard's regime, but elphie has just as many regrets as glinda in that moment

elphie gave up everything her fight against the wizard. not just her chance at being loved and adored by oz, but her closest relationships. her unwavering sense of justice means she's willing to sacrifice anything for the greater good, even if it means destroying her friendship with glinda

but in the end, where does that get her? nessa's dead, fiyero's "dead," and pre-kiamo ko her relationship with glinda all but collapses in on itself like a dying star. she's changed so much; she hardly recognizes herself anymore. there's a crying child in her basement she's threatened to murder. a mob is coming to fucking kill her and there's nothing she can do to stop it

and here's glinda, who despite everything still went to kiamo ko to extend one last olive branch, even after elphie left her, even after elphie stole her fiancé, even after elphie proved that she really is just as wicked as everyone thinks she is, begging elphie to let her stand beside her and clear her name

but elphie knows it's too late, and after everything that's happened, everything she's lost, she can't lose glinda anymore than she already has. elphie only breaks everything she loved and cared about, and she's already hurt glinda enough

so they're sharing one last hug and all elphie can think about is how much she loves glinda, how badly she wants to be with her, how if she only listened to her one of those times maybe things could've been different
