Nobody's talking about how Glinda called her "Elphaba" at the beginning of defying gravity (when she was mad) and when she softened she inmediatly switched to "Elphie". It's canon that she calls her by her whole name when she's angry.

Elphaba: Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?

[calzopelios]

I could spend hours talking about this. Everyone is repulsed by Elphaba, and, in front of everyone, Glinda does THIS. For Elphaba, for HERSELF. She WANTS to touch Elphaba.

Two good friends

Where would I put a Gelphie kiss in the wicked musical?

(Inspired by the gifset of Galinda holding Elphie's cheeks in the popular scene)

1. In the popular scene. The gifset inspired this list. I think a Gelphie kiss here would be cute and silly and fun, and wouldn't actually change much about the scene.

"Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful."

"Wh-what are you-"

Galinda leans forward and, almost under a spell herself, presses her lips against Elphaba's. Elphaba freezes initially but her muscles are just beginning to relax when Galinda pulls away. They stare at eachother for a beat. Then Elphaba bolts.

"You're welcome!" Galinda calls after her, voice more sad than confused. Then the musical carries on as normal.

2. There's a moment during One Shot Day, right at the end. The line is "sharing one wonderful one short day". I feel like taking a half second pause after "sharing one wonderful" for Glinda to press the quietest kiss to Elphaba's lips before turning away, giggling, would be just the cutest thing I can imagine. Would require some reworking to establish an actual gelphie relationship.

3. "You're trembling." Glinda takes green cheeks in her hands, presses a kiss to each one, then Elphaba's forehead, then her lips. Defying gravity proceeds as usual.

4. I actually don't think there should be an act 2 kiss at all...except. look, if we're already rewriting the musical to canonize Gelphie then let me have this. Right at the end of the musical, picture the scene. Glinda is entirely alone in her room, the shouts and cheers and laughter coming in through her bedroom window, a constant reminder of everything she's lost. Stage fills with smoke, she's dozing, or dreaming, or drunk. Smoke clears, and Glinda is dancing with Elphaba, like that night at the ozdust. We know it's not really Elphaba, because we can see the real elphaba watching over Glinda from the open balcony. Glinda doesn't know. Lights dim, then fade completely.

If you've actually read all this, please let me know where you'd put some Gelphie kisses in the wicked musical, I'm back on my bs and would love to hear more!!

"You'll be alright", Elphaba said. <...> She put her face against Glinda's and kissed her. "Hold out, if you can", she murmured, and kissed her again. "Hold out, my sweet."

I'm a little late but happy 20th anniversary to Wicked on Broadway 🩷💚
