I'm WHEEZING at arcane twitter's general consensus on this moment
The Patron Sorceress and the Wicked Witch
As a celebration of Of Emeralds and Trumpeter Swans (OEATS) 50th chapter, I’m sharing a project that I worked on with the amazingly talented @vickychendraws!
With permission, I’ve decided to share the commission I got from them of our beloved Ozian witches! Ofc it wouldn’t be OEATS without Birr and Tiger (Lzar) too!
I’m so happy with the result of this commission, and I’m so so glad Of Emeralds and Trumpeter Swans has become a favorite over on Ao3. It means a lot to me, especially when the story itself had a bit of a rocky start.
If you want to support me so I can continue writing these amazing stories for you, feel free to check out my Kofi, but your comments, kudos, and reblogs are just fine too!
Thanks so much again to @vickychendraws for working with me, I couldn’t recommend them enough. And to all my readers, here’s to another 50 chapters 🥂🎉
saw wicked live again the other day and while i’ve seen it many times as slime tutorials, cameras cannot capture the poetry that is the finale like it is in person.
fiyero holding out his hand for elphaba and having to actually say “come”. she goes to reach for it, but she pulls back at the last second once glinda starts singing. her literally WALKING AWAY from fiyero to match where glinda is but just on the ground is so emotional.
meanwhile she turns back for a second and fiyero is still holding out his hand for her to take but she stays where she is to sing the reprise of for good with glinda. and omg the ozians singing “no one mourns the wicked…” in between their lines AHH
then elphaba joins fiyero while no one mourns the wicked starts up for real. glinda has to snap into social figure mode, wipe her tears, and start from the beginning. tell elphaba’s story to move on with her life, as elphaba leaves part of her life behind.
Felt like I should make something silly after my last post
Also, Wicked fandom, who is responsible for the ship name for this OT3 being “Gliyeraba” when “Gelphiero/Gelphiyero” is right there and sounds so much better
haven't seen anyone do this yet so...
So they’re going to have Cynthia & Ari sing & open the award show but not give them the award?
Oh okay it’s giving Barbie
inspired by that one interview clip
the wicked movie teaches important moral lessons like "be bisexual in college" and "don't trust politicians" and "if you push someone who's in a wheelchair without their permission, someone might throw a bench at your head with their mind"
post act i gelphie looking for hints the other in press releases and newspapers, but only seeing the caricatures they've come to embody
glinda sees the wicked witch posters and tries to find a hint of her elphie, her freckles, her smile, her laugh, the way she scrunches her face together when she's concentrating
elphie looks at all the press releases from glinda the good and tries to find a hint of her first friend, her silliness, her snark, her energy, her adorable and enduring dramatics
they look all the time, trying to find some hint of the girl they used to know and love, and wonder if that girl is still around somewhere
Also, how do Spotted and Tiger react to Cloudkit? Especially Spotted now that we've seen her speech about letting kittypets in!
-🐻
Tiger: You're telling me, small Fireheart is kin to this ball of snow that's almost as big as Brindleface's kits despite being like a moon younger? No, no way. I admit if it had been freshly named Fireheart I would've probably rolled my eyes, but Cloudkit is just a kit, and he will only remember the forest... That makes him Clan now.
Spotted: I just... Look, if Fireheart lied about not visiting kittypets, how much has he lied to Bluestar? And she just lets it pass? Hmm, I wonder how uch she'll let it slide with this one
Viktor just went from being some guy to my all time favourite Arcane character. Funniest possible direction they could’ve gone with him. Every fuck in his mind body soul was spent and gone when he emerged from that goop. Woke up purple from a near death experience and immediately dumped his situationship, quit his job, fucked off to the undercity wearing nothing but a blanket and then became the second coming of Christ on accident. King of protecting his peace. Imagine being that guy who tried to shank him. Some Czech twink with dick and balls hanging out starts glowing and then magically cleanses the poison from your body. I’d be on my knees worshipping him too man what a fucked up situation. Someone please get him some trousers
