I’m thinking about Wicked tonight, specifically why Elphaba ends up with Fiyero instead of Glinda in the musical despite Elphaba and Glinda having the more well-rounded relationship.
You could chalk it up to the writers wanting a heteronormative ending (and I’m certain that’s part of it) or the fact that Elphaba and Fiyero had a love affair in the book. But I think there’s a bit more nuance to it.
The whole point of Glinda’s character is that she upholds the status quo of Oz. No matter how much she loves Elphaba or sympathizes with the plight of the Animals, she will always align herself with the current system and those in power. And as long as that remains the case, a relationship between her and Elphaba is futile because Elphaba will not give up her cause.
Elphaba and Glinda represent to different ends of a spectrum. Elphaba resists the oppressive forces in Oz, while Glinda upholds them. But Fiyero is somewhere in the middle. He starts out privileged and carefree like Glinda, but quickly turns to Elphaba’s side. He does become Captain of the Guard, but only to find Elphaba and help her evade arrest.
And therein lies the difference between Glinda and Fiyero as love interests to Elphaba. Glinda would never sacrifice her title as “the Good Witch” and all her power granted from the Wizard, even if it meant helping Elphaba. Fiyero, on the other hand, does give up his privilege, his title, and even his human form for Elphaba. Glinda clings to what the status quo gives her, while Fiyero ultimately rejects it.
Yes, the writing around Elphaba and Fiyero’s romance is a bit rushed and doesn’t have the same gradual development that Elphaba and Glinda have. And yes, I have no doubt heteronormativity played a role in giving Elphaba a male love interest in the end. But I see a lot of people write off Fiyero and his relationship with Elphaba and I just don’t agree.
Why does Elphaba end up with Fiyero instead of Glinda? Because Fiyero makes the sacrifices that Glinda wasn’t willing to.
Y'all! One of the 1st romance series I read is getting adapted! So exciting for Jay Crownover Marked Men to come to the big screen.
@accesshollywood dropped the trailer!
Snag the book from @harpercollins before it hits Theaters!
As if I couldn't love Stevie Nicks any more she's revealed she's got an idea for a 2nd season of "Daisy Jones and the Six" and it's based on what she wanted to have happen for her and Lindsey if everything had worked out and he changed!!! 😀 Don't get me wrong she was better off without him, however, when it comes to this show Daisy and Billy do have a 2nd chance and I like Stevie's idea of them getting the band back together to make another album and possibly making their relationship work now that they're older. I really didn't want them to make a 2nd season as Taylor's book ends fine and the show did too, but after reading what Stevie said I can see this idea working. But like she said too all the actors are working on other projects now and are so busy that they might not be able to find the time to do it. So if it happens I'm all for it, or even if it convinces Taylor to write a sequel if they can't film it.
I Went to see the Taylor Swift Eras Tour Movie with a friend and I can say with absolute certainty that Taylor is magical and a BEAST, the fact that she plays a 3:30 hour show almost ever night astounds me !!!!!
So The Sully family is going to live and so are Quaritch and Spider. They'll be there to the end.
Jake and Quaritch relationship is getting complicated (is my crack ship sailing lmao)
And apparantly Avatar way of water was just a tease. Man really said it's a tease. A little appetizer. I'm actually sacred.
This is giving me a stomach ache 😭😭😭😭
Oh and the next story is going to be narrated by Lo'ak. And future movies will have different character narrations.
If the book makes me giggle, blush and cover my face then S3 will make me scream and jump lmao
I wanted to share a bed with you. Same. I'm sure we'll get to do it one day.
If this isn’t a sign we NEED another season of this amazing show I don’t know what is!!!!! Amazon Studios needs to give us another season already !!!!!
❤️🔥🎸🎤
((not 100% sure whichever sexy smexy scene it was in the books hehe))
the trailer versus the book scene i think they're referencing to (2/3)
part three here!!
My favorite love story
We need more of this in our lives !!!! The daisybilly love story deserves to be fully explored. Season 2 just has to happen, I am willing it into existence 🙏🏾 🤞🏾
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I am officially calling for the Daisy jones and the six season 2 campaign to begin, this show is beautiful and I have to see the daisybilly reunion play out on screen, and of course the band’s reunion tour !!! Who’s with me ?!?!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
everyone be quiet i need to scream
Can’t wait to see the daisybilly love story play out on screen, they are endgame and deserve each other, their love is so epic !! ❤️🔥💖💘
I will forever miss CoNic but to see Conrad this In love again brings my heart so much joy it’s almost pathetic, and Billie deserves this kind of love more then anyone. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 This show has to get renewed for another season !!! I’m ready for the Conllie love story to truly be explored !
I am ready to see Colin actually work for Penelope’s affection, I hope she doesn’t just give it away. It’s time for the Colin Bridgerton jealousy era to begin !!!
“with colin now the one falling as penelope turns her back on his affections, bridgerton will be switching up one of its key dynamics.”
AND WE WILL BE SEATED FOR ENAMORED COLIN SUFFERING WATCHING PENELOPE BLOOM AND REALIZE SHE WAS HIS AND HE LET HER SLIP FROM HIS FINGERS
I desperately want at least one of the suitors pursuing Penelope in season 3 to be one of Colins’ friends who jokingly asked if he was courting her.
THE SWEET SACCHARIN DRAMA
