Maybe this is just me but I maintain that unlike in the movie (where its Maude Ivory), in the book its Clerk Carmine who starts the singing of Nothing You Can Take From Me at the Reaping. It doesn't specify who it is, but it states that it's a voice that Snow can't distinguish whether it's male or female. Which suggests that out of the Covey, it's presumably either Maude Ivory or Clerk Carmine, given they're both young voices. Straight away the difficulty to distinguish would have me lean towards Clerk Carmine anyway, but it's the next bit that solidifies it for me.

We read that the next two lines come from a deep male voice (presumably Tam Amber) but also that it comes from a different place in the crowd. With Maude Ivory being described as around nine years old, she wouldn't be eligible for the reaping yet, and we get it confirmed from SOTR that Tam Amber would already have aged out, meaning the two would presumably be standing together (and potentially with Barb Azure, I can't remember if we get a confirmed age range for her). The only members of the Covey that would be standing separate to that group would have been Lucy Gray, Billy Taupe and Clerk Carmine, being the three we know to be of reaping age (Clerk Carmine being twelve, quite probably with a still unbroken voice lending towards Snow's difficulty identifying it). Which leads me to believe its Clerk Carmine (and also would be interesting in that it's potentially the only time we hear of both him and Tam Amber singing).

hadestown orpheus and eurydice are so. she loves her cringefail husband. he looks like a 16 year old boy at his first prom. he plays wonderwall for her so good it solves climate change. she's a runaway from everywhere she's ever been and just wants him to take her home. he unionizes amazon. they are everything.

I don't have feelings for Fiyero.

To preface this I do see and appreciate the homoeroticism of Glinda and Elphaba’s relationship, but that being said, I’m noticing a phenomenon of people who’ve seen the movie but not the full show saying “Glinda and Elphie are obviously gay, and also Fiyero is lame and unnecessary.” For one thing, those opinions on Fiyero will likely change after Part 2 comes out because he is both important and awesome, but also? I really do love Glinda and her bond with Elphaba, but quite frankly I don’t think she deserves Elphie. Glinda’s biggest flaw is her cowardice (and even that isn’t fair, because she’s in a tough situation and her survival mode is to work within the system as best she can), and Act 2 proves she simply won’t take the same risks that Fiyero will for Elphie until it’s too late. Fiyero is brave and devoted to Elphie in ways Glinda isn’t (even when she wants to be). Glinda isn’t the one who sacrifices everything she’s ever known and nearly gets tortured to death to protect Elphaba. Not to mention that Elphaba’s fighting spirit and willingness to speak up are matched in Fiyero. AND the way the theme of finding not just worth but beauty in “unattractive” people comes full circle with Elphie and Fiyero. Just. End me now. They make me INSANE. It isn’t until after Elphaba’s apparent death that Glinda’s bravery really shines. The end of the show is basically Glinda acknowledging she should’ve done better and promising she WILL do better, she will be Glinda “The Good,” all thanks to what she’s learned from Elphaba. It’s kind of the point that Glinda wasn’t perfect for Elphie (and that’s okay, because their relationship was beautiful and profound anyway). I’m so excited to see movie fans experience this ride once Part 2 comes out.

fiyero watching elphaba and glinda run out of the ozdust hand in hand while the line "and the strange thing / your life will end up changing" is sung...the line might as well be "join a polycule / you are all bisexual"

#Your fiancé just left you for your former bestie, you just saw the dead body of said best friend's sister, that sister turned a guy whom you convinced to date her out of pity into a tin man and now some random southern girl is singing about tornados

#She was having a day and decided to force her to walk the yellow brick road for nothing

[mistoelectra]

what if you were GAY and your girlfriend was the personification of DEATH and then your SON died and she had to reap his SOUL or whatever because it was her JOB and then you never forgave her but she still LOVED you and then you projected your GRIEF onto a random teenager while battling through DEATH trials with PATTI LUPONE

"Come again?" "Spring will come." "When? I haven't seen a spring or fall since... I can't recall."
