This Is Not "A Fell First, But B Fell Harder" This Is A Freaked First, But B Freaked Harder. Alicent

and if I said there was an Instagram account with 550 followers and apparently no other online presence that consistently posted the most insane Gelphie fanart you’ve ever seen…

summary of act 1

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.

gelphie + text post

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?? 😭😭

Brazilian Wicked is now one of my favorite versions cause SUITPHABA?!? BADDY GLINDA?!?!?

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"

i have yet to see a version of the lion cub rescue where gelphie actually keep brrr and I'm ngl this feels like a missed opportunity.

like- just imagine our two idiots trying to keep a whole ass LION hidden and safe right under morrible's scheming nose. if this has been done, someone give me the rec lol bc i feel it would be hilarious.
