Yeah, god forbid a gay man should be allowed to have a friend of the opposite sex. Or god forbid that a woman should feel completely at ease around a guy, who she knows she doesn't need to hold back next to, or be afraid that he will start hitting on her, or do anything worse? God forbid that in the post #MeToo era a gay man and a woman should be allowed to have all the fun at a press tour.

God, I hate the internet sometimes.

I'm gonna do a bunch of spoilers and theories under the cut, so read at your own peril 👀💚

What we know so far, is that the Eleka nahmen spell is not specifically the Scarecrow-spell, but its a transformation spell! Folks on Reddit did some sleuthing, and found that using the official Grimmerie alphabet (released by Universal) and the official Grimmerie merch (that has both the Defying Gravity levitation spell, and also Eleka Nahman (you can decipher from the yellow butterfly design) you can actually read the Grimmerie for the spells and they deciphered what it meant.

Here's the Reddit post to the original translation.

If you just want to know what it says, its here:

So why is this relevant?

Well, even in Wicked: Part 1, when Elphaba first opens the Grimmerie, you can actually see the book opening up on the Eleka spell (yellow butterfly symbol), before she goes to the levitation one. I personally interpret this as the Grimmerie is somewhat in tune to Elphaba and what she wants to to magic on, and she might have still had the "not wanting to be green" idea in her head and wanted to do this spell.

Now, to your post, we know that Jon Chu said somewhere (I tried to find the source, but can't, so you just have to believe me 🤣) that the poppy Fiyero gave Elphaba will be relevant in movie 2 as well. Many people are concluding that Elphaba will use the Eleka spell to preserve the poppy, and stop it from withering - and maybe she thinks that the same spell can save Fiyero also, which is why she is reaching for it again in NGD.

I actually think that NGD is tis moment from the trailer:

So you are right, I think, the scene in OP's gifset is NOT the NGD moment, but it is the Eleka spell, used a bit earlier as well.

Summary:

Trying to explain it makes Glinda realize how little she understands of the past few days – weeks, really: a letter from Elphaba, delivered by a Pigeon at her window, entreating her for help. Elphaba, alive somehow against all odds. And Fiyero too, apparently right there under her nose all along, hideously transformed into that straw abomination. And then transformed again, worse still, back to this state of brokenness, on the edge of death.

Elphaba has been the architect of it all, Glinda thinks, yet barely present. Certainly not explaining or apologizing. Talking about resources and expectations. Telling her that Fiyero didn’t want her involved. Suddenly she feels like the biggest fool of all, for trusting Elphaba yet again despite all of the times she’s been betrayed.

What did you mean to do back there? And why was I the only one you didn't do it to?

WICKED (Part 1): Fiyero + Elphaba + moments

[gamorahww]

it's weird to me when people are so adamant "oh glinda has to face consequences for her actions glinda has to be punished for her actions" not because they're wrong, but because what i find most compelling about glinda's character isn't the tragedy of "i was selfish and i lost everyone i loved" it's how she continually does learn from her mistakes and makes effort to be a better person

the ozdust is her first "oh shit" moment where she comes to term with the cruelty elphaba's faced her whole life and how galinda contributed to that. ariana said of the scene that being looked at and laughed at like that was galinda's worst fear, but in that moment it switches to doing something to put someone in that situation again. her joining the dance isn't just an attempt to fix it, but an acknowledgement of the harm she's done

this same arc plays out in act ii, albeit on a much wider scale. "thank goodness" establishes that glinda, despite claiming otherwise, isn't happy as glinda the good and really isn't proud of the role she's stepped into or the person she's become. and then nessa, fiyero, and the witch-hunting mob all happen in quick succession, and she gets a very rude awakening to just how much violence the wizard's regime (herself included) is capable of enacting

so she rides to kiamo ko ready to give up "glinda the good" to save elphaba, but elphaba insists that it's too late for her and passes her cause on to glinda. its also important to note that this is glinda putting the greater good (helping the Animals) over her personal needs/wants (wanting to save/be with elphaba). and as much as glinda is shoved back into a role she hates, i think she's also left with a clear sense of who she is and the power she does have and how she can do good

as much as glinda has regrets and sorrows and mistakes, she also consistently demonstrates an ability to learn from her mistakes and works to remedy them and ends the musical in a position where she really is glinda the good, even if she hadn't always been that. she's the one who removes the wizard and morrible and ultimately works to turn oz into the place elphie believed it could be. and i personally find this more compelling than her just being a cautionary tale about how selfishness and working for authoritarian dictators are bad

Some Fiyeraba edits for you. These crazy kids…

(obviously couldn’t let Elphaba and Glinda have ALL the fun…)

Less cropped version of the last one under the cut lol:
