It’s so funny to imagine Wicked from the perspective of one of the normal students at Shiz. There’s this girl and she’s weird and an overachieving nerd and no one likes her, but then the popular girl becomes best friends with her overnight so you guess she’s chill now. They might be sleeping together but no one’s really sure. They’re also low key dating the same guy but you’re not clear on if it’s a polycule situation or a love triangle. Whatever. You’re just trying to study for finals. Your history teacher gets arrested and no explains why. You just hope this won’t effect your grade in the class. The weird nerdy girl gets a letter from the president inviting her to come see him. Wow, that’s exciting. She and her maybe-girlfriend go off to the capitol and you go back to homework and dorm room parties. One day later one of your professors is on the national radio saying that the weird nerdy girl, who used to be her favorite student, is now a terrorist, has stolen the nuclear codes, and is on the run from the government. You are still expected to show up to class tomorrow.
He wants to make a deal
AAAAAAAAHHHHH
New chapter icons for Emeralds & Swans! I’ll be adding these to the top of each chapter to signify which country in Oz the characters are currently in, as well as a little brown icon to show if they are traveling :)
These are mainly just for my own enjoyment, and to add a little fun thing to Ao3’s kinda boring interface. I got bored, I dunno ☺️
two of the three werent passing that class anyway
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
Just saw your winged!Glinda little snippet, do you have any headcannons for it?
oh babe i wrote that in like literally 5 minutes lmao. BUT- i will try my best
(also i think the drawing is based off an ao3 fic that i haven't read yet so these have nothing to do with that just fyi!)
its impossible for glinda to wash her own wings. as such, the blood stains a bunch of the feathers closest to her back a pink color. Morrible thinks this is hilarious
glinda has to build up all the muscles for her wings from scratch. which means....no flying yet. in fact- she can barely even lift them for days, resulting in them dragging painfully on the ground behind her and having several feathers break off
she's in pretty much constant pain as her body adjusts
the skin at the base of her wings heals in thick, rough scars
glinda is very lightweight now, but she packs a helluva punch. contrary to popular belief, bird bones are strong
she didn't just get the wings: her senses are sharper too (elphie had been thinking about birds not just wings or flight)
they can't get any clothes to fit her at first. they have to design pretty much everything as a halter top that she can step into and pull over her head, leaving her entire back bare. she hates it and she hates the new instinctual vulnerability of it
learning how to fly is easy. learning how to land....not so much
glinda has no one to preen her wings for her. she isn't even aware of how much better she'd feel if her feathers were properly taken care of
she never stops being scared of heights. she just learns how to fly through it
The concept of Gliyeraba is so fucking funny bc Elphaba has spent most of her life being unloved by most people around her and then she gets to Shiz and now she has two idiots fighting over who loves her more.
Warriors is a military-horror novel series by Erin Hunter that chronicles the past and present stories of a militaristic division of sentient cats called The Clans as they indulge the minds of themselves and future generation's in the various beliefs of war, jingoism, religious law, xenophobia, an "Us vs Them" mentality, and intimidation of "the others". With topics of fascism and colonialism addressed, Warriors details the horrors of how such beliefs warp the mind into believing ideas of things such as "Good War" directly from the indoctrinated, twisted perspectives of The Clans.
