And Wilson smiled when House said it because he 100% knew what House meant.

House called Wilson a manipulative bitch with lust in his eyes

Protective Glinda just letting her baby sleep on her shoulder, the way she looks at her in the last photo melts me honestly

Glinda changed her whole life in this moment, not by making her popular but by calling her beautiful, the one thing she has never heard before. This moment is hard hitting, Elphie starts to realise her being green is okay for the first time and Glinda starts realising beauty is about more than being perfect, and sometimes its the impefections and differences that make us beautiful. They changed each other starting from this moment.

nobody asked for this post BUT has anybody talked about the beautiful metaphor of all the call and response choreography in the Wicked movie??? how the dancing shows the influence that characters have over each other. cuz im about to.

okay okay look at this. everybody at shiz copies Galinda during "what is this feeling"

okay standard expected yeah but THEN we get to "dancing through life" (AKA everybody's horny for Jonathan Bailey) and Fiyero has to "corrupt his fellow classmates"

WATCH them follow along! watch them LEARN the dance as his influence spreads over them. BUT not just them! because for the first time in her life, Galinda is NOT the center of attention. she's nor in command of the crowd and she JOINS IT. SHE JOINS THE CROWD.

now of course she eventually finds her way to the center, she finds a place of influence in the dance because that's who she is. When Glinda isn't in control, she joins the influence to take control of it.

but you know who isn't dancing? you know who's the one person refusing that call? of course you do you watched the movie too.

and yes. I know, those of us that are familiar with musical theater probably already saw all of this. but shhhh this is fun to talk about anyways. AND we're getting to the fun part. that's right... it's the

now THIS is what's special about the call and response aspect of the choreography. THIS is the part that makes all of us cry whether or not we consciously realize it.

because whereas Glinda is able to FIND her place of control in the influence, Elphaba doesn't have that ability. she's NEVER had that. she can't join a crowd because she's different and she sticks out no matter what.

Elphaba has to do her own thing. She always has to go it alone. that's why this dance is so strange and so beautiful!! because it's so uniquely her! and THATS why the call and response motif of the choreography makes this moment so sad. because it's not just Elphie not caring what anyone thinks.

it's a desperate call for anyone, ANYONE to respond to her.

And Galinda sees her. FINALLY, a response. finally, Elphaba has broken through that wall. for the first time in her life, she's reached out a hand, and someone else took it.

and i just think that's beautiful. 🥺

i definitely have more to say about this but for now I will end it here anyways thanks for coming to my OZTEDtalk.

I'm sorry but I cannot get over the deleted scene where Glinda asks Elphie about Fiyero and the lion cub, and Elphie clearly thinks she's jealous and reassures her. But no, Glinda isn't worried about that at all; she's upset that Elphie chose him over her. And then Elphie's slow look of realisation as this clicks. In my mind this is when she realises that Glinda is in love with her.

My heart cannot handle "You could've picked me" (!!!!!) and how "I'm not that girl" plays for a few seconds in the background, a song about the one you love not loving you back. I'm a mess

How can Spin not be winning??? It gave us the “I met someone who made me feel… funny… good” speech where Wilson didn’t use any pronouns and was clearly talking about House.

Spin - A professional cyclist is brought in after collapsing during a race, but House doesn't want to treat him because he thinks the athlete is taking performance-enhancing drugs, and will only treat the man when he admits to taking the drugs.

Big Baby - Cuddy gives some of her day-to-day responsibilities to Cameron, and the team take on the case of a teacher who collapsed after spitting up blood during a class.

something genuinely insane about going somewhere and getting to feel “i had some of the worst years of my life here” and “i was loved here, once” simultaneously.
