La Primavera

I think the real tragedy of Wicked is that no matter how many times you see it or listen to it or whatever you believe that this time something will be different, this time Elphaba will stay or Glinda will go or Elphaba comes back but it stays the same. The alternate paths are just barely out of reach and that’s the real gut punch

hordak is such a ridiculous man because my brother really came out here with the COOLEST fucking entrance and he was genuinely being set up as such a scary and threatening villain

like look at this he actually looks so fucking cool when we first see him. i honestly thought he was going to be our main villain for the entirety of the series.

but then we see him interact with entrapta and then the realization suddenly hits that not only is he the most awkward person ever he's also just turned into like WifeGuy™ the second entrapta talks to him.

absolute fucking loser i'm just obsessed with how hard he tries to just act like a normal villain; like he has the scary armor, the dimly lit lair and throne, even his voice sounds scary like.

he even has his own weird little minion and whatever the fuck shadow weaver is. generally, his whole scary vibe and plans for world domination set him up as a proper villain, but then he meets entrapta and all of that just CRUMBLES and is tossed out the window.

10/10 i'm a fan of the progression.

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

wicked post-canon told in the style of the original frank l baum books where dorothy and ozma visit their favorite lesbian wine aunt glinda the good in her palace with a hundred women at her beck and call and she's currently crashing out over elphie

so dorothy and ozma are like "we should try to cheer her up" and go on journey throughout oz looking for something to make her feel better until they eventually stumble across elphaba who's like "you again? go away" and then they have to drag her back to glinda's palace

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 🥂🎉

Dug meets dug

Tim couldn't make it he was in Paris also not in the group chat

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

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.
