So Elegant

With all the whacking she did, I think Glinda would love this as a weapon (and it's cute!!)

The funny thing is that in your traditional Superman story, Lois Lane is enamoured with big strong heroic Superman and wouldn't give mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent a second glance.

Then in Supergirl you have Lena Luthor, who's like "I need that reporter carnally (oh and there's also a superhero around that's cool)"

I just realized Glinda being the narrator means that Elphaba had to have told Glinda about that time she was watching Nessa and those kids started bullying her and she magicked rocks at them and possibly even her birth story if it had been told to Elphaba and I’m spiraling

Do you guys think when Fiyero told Elphaba he ate grass as a child, he was saying that to make light out of the awkward situation they were in or did he actually eat grass because honestly I can believe both.

A reminder that Glinda having either dyslexia/dysgraphia or a learning disability is canon in the Movieverse.

This is the same paper that we see her get back in this scene, in which we can see this was a large essay too.

There's nothing rushed to her handwriting, this was not an essay done at the last minute, and still, it shows several signs of a learning disability and/or dysgraphia.

Misspells her name in the second line

Wrong and inconsistent pronoun usage

Her margin spacing is consistent with someone who can't do proper syllable division

Immature transcription (see: writes her "um"s)

Limited vocabulary

Shows signs of: difficulty expressing ideas in writing, having a limited vocabulary, mispronouncing words or using a wrong word that sounds similar, and having trouble organizing what she wants to say. Those are all symptoms of a learning disability.

Less of a checklist sign, but her handwriting is very round and careful, while still not being consistently sized (see unfashionable). This and the margin sizes are very common in kids with bad dysgraphia who are made to take rigorous calligraphy courses to "fix the problem". Courses that work on the visual without remedying its underlying issues and causes. Form over content if you will.

Looking at this very blatant sign that she has a learning disability and immediately defaulting to calling her names (yes calling her stupid and saying Elphaba is a moronsexual for this counts), asking how she got into Shiz, or defending Dillamond in doing the very first thing teachers are told NOT to do with disabled students (re: calling attention to it in front of the entire class) is ableist!

what if i tell you guys that galinda calls elphie "love" in the brazilian version of popular

um ok pam

Elphaba was kinda insane for telling Glinda to wait for her and then immediately disappearing for 20 years

Glinda is also insane for actually waiting

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
