Tori: Well, You’re A Shit Singer!

"Where is Elphaba now? 🌸💚

lolol big angst piece in a way- this whole thing is inspired by a question Cynthia was asked during a interview- so in a way it's a big fat reference lol

I think something that’s important to remember is that Elphaba tells Boq there were two parts to Glinda, the one that thinks deeply about issues and has the potential to do many impactful things and the one that operates for advantageous positions and a self-serving lifestyle.

Boq is extremely offended on Glinda’s behalf at Elphaba’s second description, accusing her of being cruel in describing Glinda as anything less than perfect. He claims to love her and therefore sees her as this ethereal being that’s so pure she couldn’t possibly have any flaws. However, this is where he comes short in comparison to Elphaba.

While she probably meant half of what she said as a jest at first, she still tells Boq that she loves Glinda too and loves both parts of her. She sees Glinda as two dimensional, as someone who is who she is and as someone who could be so much more. Elphaba acknowledges that parts of Glinda are messy, yet she loves those parts all the same.

There was no one made for Glinda besides Elphaba. No one at all.

“You could’ve picked me”

I AM STRAIGHT UP NOT OK OH MY GOD

dorothy, trapped in elphaba's basement: miss wicked witch, why do you call glinda the good "my sweet?"

elphaba: let's stop talking for a little while

I'm WHEEZING at arcane twitter's general consensus on this moment

viktor vs cait innit

Elphaba being an idealist while Glinda is a realist always gets to me. Like you would expect the girl who’s been ostracized all her life for being green to be cynical and think that the world can’t change. But no, Elphie is all starry eyed and hopeful that she can change the world. That she can fix its wrongs and create a better future, not just for her but for every citizen of Oz.

Meanwhile Glinda, the girl who’s had everything, admiration, money, etc, knows how the world is. She knows that the world is led by those who are popular despite their talent or lack thereof. She knows how to play the game, knows the rules of the game, and knows that not playing by those rules will make you an outsider. She’s already resigned to the world as it is.
