If I had a nickel for every broadway musical I liked that was based on a book whose titular character is a deformed man living in hiding in Paris, I’d have two nickels. Which isn't a lot. But it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

Am I insane?

No.

Am I sane?

Also no.

SUNRISE ON THE REAPING SPOILERS:

If you haven’t read chapter 21 of sotr and don’t want spoilers, leave now!

ok, now to completely dissolve into my madness:

Haymitch and Maysilee promised to paint their posters and cause trouble for the Capitol in a field of freaking KATNISS

AHHHHHHHH—

[fitzsavorycracker]

also I love that suzanne wrote katniss and haymitch in first person pov but with coryo she was like “third person for you… you get some distance, creep.”

Wait, you’re so right

One of the saddest things in wicked that no one talks about is the line “and all of Oz has to love you when by the wizard you’re acclaimed.” All of Oz HAS to love you. Not all of Oz loves you, because you’re talented and a wonderful person. No. Poor Elphaba, even in her greatest fantasies doesn't think that she is worthy of or can earn love on her own. She thinks that if someone as powerful as the wizard likes her, then people will have to love her whether they like her or not.

Incoming long rant about Sophie and Fitz!! Not a hate post for either characters! Pro Sophie and Pro Fitz for life!

I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion lately about how Sophie has shown disapproval or discomfort with the things Fitz has done and/or said to her. And certain people have said that Sophie apparently shouldn’t have ended things with Fitz because he has a temper or because he blamed her for Alden’s mind shattering, or because he really didn’t want sophie to be unmatchable, or because he was jealous that she was taking on a leader’s role- the list goes on. Basically they’re justifying Fitz’s actions towards Sophie and claiming that if THEY were Sophie they wouldn’t have treated him the way she did by keeping her distance from him for days, possibly weeks in Legacy, because she was afraid that he wouldn’t take the news of her being unmatchable well, or her getting with Keefe, a little too soon, after her and Fitz ended things. They claim they wouldn’t be bothered by his temper or his devotion to his reputation.

Now. I am not going to justify everything Sophie did- but we have to remember that WE, as the fandom, are NOT Sophie. We may have our own opinions and feelings on what Fitz did, and we all think differently on it because we’re all different people, as is Sophie. Sophie has her own opinions. Sophie has her own feelings. And most importantly SHE is the one who experienced these things and is actively dealing with them.

Her new developed fear for Fitz’s anger after the events in Exlie when Fitz blamed her for Alden’s mind shattering? It’s valid. Unlike certain parts of the fandom though Sophie doesn’t only just see “anger” when she looks at Fitz. She also sees loyalty, kindness, respect, and devotion to his friends.

Her discomfort with Fitz pushing her to find her biological parents? It’s valid. With that being said her staying away for days/weeks because she was afraid he would not accept it wasn’t right. She didn’t know for sure how he would react to the news (even though her suspicions were right and he didn’t exactly accept it) but to not communicate this with your own boyfriend was not a good decision.

Her confronting Fitz in Stellarlune when she realized he was jealous that she was taking the leading role? It’s valid. At the same time Sophie needs to learn more about teamwork and actually involving others into her plans.

Her getting with Keefe not too soon after breaking up with Fitz, is a bit more controversial. But she finally found comfort in someone who didn’t care that she was unmatchable, who didn’t care that she was taking the leading role. And in the end it’s HER choice. If she had gotten with Keefe BEFORE her and Fitz broke up then okay! She would be in the wrong. But Fitz was the one who initiated the break up and in the end it was mutual! They were no longer a thing

Now this doesn’t invalidate Fitz’s feelings and emotions either.

His anger for his father’s mind shattering is valid. But him directing that anger towards Sophie was wrong because she had absolutely nothing to do with that.

Him being uncomfortable with Sophie being unmatchable is also valid. Not only does he come from a high prestigious family, but even those in non-prestigious families wouldn’t want to be in a bad match. His fear is completely understandable! Him ending things with Sophie because she’s unmatchable wasn’t wrong! He also has as much of a choice as she does, and if he isn’t comfortable being in a relationship that could end up being a bad match, then that’s okay! But him constantly pushing the idea to Sophie that they need to find her biological parents so they could work, even when she had shown discomfort against it, was wrong.

Him feeling jealous that she was taking the leading role is valid. He grew up famous for being the youngest telepath, jealousy is bound to happen. Now he expressed himself in Stellarlune perfectly and showed there and then that he will try not to bothered by this anymore. Proof that he’s willing to change.

His emotions with Sophie kissing Keefe are also valid. He still loves Sophie very much but has already admitted that her being unmatchable still bothers him but he communicated this perfectly as well.

At the end of day, both Sophie and Fitz are their own persons. Their feelings and emotions are valid and we as readers need to remember that. Now that doesn’t mean we become completely and utterly influenced by the narrative alone and not use our own critical thinking and reading comprehension skills or ignore our personal opinions on certain things. Reading is all about thinking and feeling and criticizing when criticism is due, it is part of our human nature and morals. But please please please do not invalidate the characters feelings and their reactions to THEIR experiences because YOU would have done differently. Do not focus on one aspect of what the character did and say that their entire reaction was completely wrong when there is more to consider! Everyone is different and sometimes there isn’t always one right answer.

When Lucy Gray says "I am not district" what she means is I am Covey. I had a culture, I had a people. You stole it from me. I will not allow you to erase it, I will not let you make me forget who I really am, I refuse to be what you say I have to be.

When Snow says "Lucy Gray isn't really district" what he means is unlike all those others in the districts Lucy Gray is practically a person. Lucy Gray is so much better than everyone else in the districts could ever hope to be. Lucy Gray is just about human.

Yet Snow is under the impression they are saying the same thing.

Mr. Bennet: Sure, I haven't taken care of my daughters' financial security, but have I at least taken care of their education? No. But have I taken care of their emotional needs? Also no. But have I been a good protector and supervisor? I'm afraid not. However, have I been a good example for my children of being a kind and respectful spouse, parent, and all around human being? No again. But through it all, have I nailed being funny? Yes. And isn't that the most important role of a father after all?

Despite the fact that Gale looks like he's from the Seam, was also a coal miner and a hunter, Katniss almost never associates him with her father, her most favorite person in the world. The few times she does its usually in reference to the significant loss they shared. The one exception to this is the lake, her last place of refuge.

The person she most often associates with her father (and her mother for that matter) is Peeta. Peeta is the person that always brings up her father's beautiful voice, his squirrel trading and the Plant book that kept Katniss alive. The shared memory of her father's singing voice is one of the things that helps Peeta start to recover his memories. Her father's Hanging Tree song is so closely associated with the tragedy of Peeta and Katniss's relationship. A lot of their physical affection reminds Katniss of her parents.

(Katniss basically takes all her softer emotions and locks them away and usually Peeta is the only person who can help her access them)

All I'm saying is that once Wicked part 2 comes out, an edit of Glinda with Olivia Rodridgo’s “making the bed” would be *chef’s kiss*

this a momentous occasion. this is proof that Ao3 donations do not spontaneously appear, there is a period where none have donated. when i go back in five minutes will the goal have been exceeded? probably. but this feeling, was like seeing an endangered species in the wild. brevity is the soul of wit, but i have no words.

“what if i told you i stopped pressing buttons” but in this scenario i am biana. what if i told you i watched my brother die and my other brother stop trying to save him. i could have also tried to save him but i just stood by and watched, justifying to myself that it was up to my brother who was trying from the start. ultimately i am also to blame but no one will hear from my bystander perspective.
