she's been galindafied (= seduced by her blithe smile, lithe limb and gold hair with a gentle curl)

"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 🩷💚

(just to clarify: yes this quote is from the novel, no they're not sisters, have never been sisters, I wish people bothered to google before commenting)

There's been some confusion, for you see, my roommate is...

[mot-hesbian]

I'm going to say something a little controversial:

I don't think Ariana should have been cast as Glinda (that isn't the controversial part) contrary to some opinions that I've seen, I have total faith that she can NAIL Glinda's vocals. She has an incredible voice, that's kind of a fact, her range is very impressive. I do not, however, trust her with the acting or nuance needed to play Glinda, especially with her using the Cat voice.

Ariana isn't a terrible actress, she's decent, but you need to be able to pull off an "obviously feeling 5 polar opposite and distinct emotions at once while successfully covering them with a smile" to play the role. Plenty of Broadway Glinda's haven't been able to do that, very few acknowledge that she's angry and grieving during NoMtW, she legitimately just watched her best friend die in front of her, something I think truly makes a wonderful Glinda wonderful. Thank Goodness is a very complicated song, Glinda is seriously going through it and trying to hide the fact she's on the verge of having a total breakdown in front of a giant crowd she's meant to be cheering up and encouraging. She's trying to convince others that she is happy when she can't even convince herself.

Glinda isn't an easy role to play, it's a heavy responsibility. It's even harder when trying to play with the dumb blonde trope while also displaying the fact that Glinda is deeply intelligent, she just knows that that's not going to get her very far. As she knows, in Oz the most important is being popular.

Honestly who gave Wicked the RIGHT to express what's expressed in For Good.

You've changed me and I've changed you. Permanently and inescapably and completely and nearly beyond recognition, certainly beyond being able to undo it or even knowing where to start, where to begin to untangle the twisted threads of our intertwined lives.

Was the change for the better? I'm not sure. The change has been too deep and too complete; i don't know who i am without you.

But i think it was for the better. In any case it was for good.

"Glinda, come with me, think of what we could do, together.." ".. With you and I defying gravity.." I always come back from the dead to post sapphics and then disappear again into the abyss

[alicesbread]

We need Gelphie fanarts and fics but instead of Elphaba and Glinda from wicked it's the ones from the original the Wizard of Oz movie. Hear me out.

[gijak3]

So I just went to watch Wicked, and something I’ve never realised is that while Elphaba and Glinda are singing ‘For Good’, Dorothy is still stuck in the basement and she can just hear the whole thing like

Elphaba and Glinda : You’ll be with me, like a handprint on my heart

Dorothy, in the basement : these bitches gay

[simplysparrow14]

Listen, as someone who's favorite movie of all time is the Wizard of Oz, seeing the OG OZ gang with Dorothy's book canon silver shoes makes me fucking cry with joy.

Never in my life would I ever thought that I would see Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion and Toto again on the big screen.

I am officially the happiest person in the world
