What If I Tell You Guys That Galinda Calls Elphie "love" In The Brazilian Version Of Popular

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

My conspiracy theory is that one of the reasons they fired Stephanie J. Block for the role of Elphaba in 2000 and replaced her with Idina Menzel at the end of the OBC workshops is because SJB played the role SO gay that it was quickly crossing the line of plausible deniability. Like she doesn't seem to be able to help herself.

And thank god she eventually got to play the role on Broadway (arguably one of the best - if not THE best - actresses who ever did), because we finally got to see her get super fucking handsy and stare lovingly into Glinda's eyes inches away from her face for three hours:

Like holy shit why do you keep looking at Annaleigh Ashford like you want to eat her alive??

Plus I cannot emphasize enough just how effective and moving this particular version of For Good is. Straight up feels like wedding vows.

(Ironically, she also has the best chemistry with Fiyero's character, and arguably the very sweetest performance of As Long As You're Mine in the entire slime tutorial universe.* So I'm just reading this as a Thropple Truther performance.)

*But that's just because she was (and still is) literally married to him. So they get uh. A little carried away in their performance. *cut to Sebastian Arcelus holding lantern up, his face covered in green makeup from aggressively making out with his wife on stage for several minutes* Apparently the makeup team HATED that song for them.

In my manic pixie dreamland, wicked: for good ends with Glinda returning to the emerald city after no one mourns the wicked utterly defeated. She’ll begin the process of taking off her makeup and her Glinda the Good Witch mask when there’s a tapping on her windowsill. She walks over and low and behold there’s a note waiting for her. It’s a short folded piece of paper tied to the balcony that simply reads “hold out, my sweet.”

Her intrusive thought won

part 2: ✨ loathing residue ✨

gelphie soulmate AU where once two soulmates bond and spend time together, being separated from each other for too long can physically make them sick. the closer the bond, the more painful it is to be apart.

they only find out after elphie flies away.

REBLOGS ARE HIGHLY APPRECIATED

Elphaba:

Nobody's talking about how Glinda called her "Elphaba" at the beginning of defying gravity (when she was mad) and when she softened she inmediatly switched to "Elphie". It's canon that she calls her by her whole name when she's angry.

this is really stupid but ever since reading the yangchen duology im just imagining the “lover of the avatar afterlife” and its all just girls and then there’s kavik in the corner and they’re looking at him like WHO THE FUCK BROUGHT A BOY HERE?? 😭😭
