Sometimes I wish we'd gotten a little more insight into how it felt for Fig's infernal traits to come in because it must have been so scary for a teenage girl to experience, idk.
I'd imagine the horns slowly spouting out of your forehead when you're pretty sure they're not supposed to would be both horrifying to witness and a little painful. Not bad, just this uncomfortable throbbing that won't go away. (A muted headache that won't leave you alone and constantly reminds you of what you are — a lie. Your mother's mistake.)
I don't remember where they said this but at some point they said Fig could trance before, that just kind of started fading as her body started to change. That's terrifying? That's horrendous. She'd been trancing her whole life and then slowly felt herself getting worse and worse rest, being more and more tired?? That something her body was doing to recharge was fundamentally warping and changing and wrong? Weird. Unsettling. Uncomfortable. Maybe her trances started getting interrupted by her body relaxing too much and that actually kind of messing up the meditation. Maybe she got so tired she started passing out when attempting to trance rather than going to sleep on purpose and didn't realise that that was what was going on until like three weeks in. She probably had no concept of sleeping before. Like yeah she knew other people slept but she would have never done it before?? She didn't know what that's like??
Elves are definitely vulnerable when trancing but they're ultimately like, still more conscious than a sleeping creature? Is it scary to plunge into darkness and out of awareness for the first time when you're already like fourteen years old and very much aware and thinking otherwise?
Also I don't think this is ever said in canon but like. Did she start turning pink?? Sandra Lynn is not pink (and neither is Gilear for that matter) Spyre elves generally have skin tones humans would also have. That's. Scary?? Imagine you suddenly turn an unnatural skin colour and then you just stay like that. This is a personal headcanon that's like actively not true but I like to think she was pink-ish in freshman year and then turns a deeper red over the years. Which, yeah. Idk man. The inherent horror of your body changing so completely because puberty I guess when you didn't even know that was gonna happen.
Also some people draw her with a tail. And just shoutout to that. That's horrifying I don't wanna know what growing a tail out of fucking nowhere feels like.
they call me "mr. bad at explaining" because well. um. uhh. actually nevermind
Help i can't draw but i need to see adaine with the little frog coat (with a frog head as a hood) dancing in puddles with also tiny aelwyn. Please someone talent help me.
Some random childhood Bad kids headcanons
Riz was incredibly small, even for a goblin kit, like concerning tiny ears were so absolutely massive compared to his body. He also didn’t start walking on two legs until really late in his development.
Gorgug was taller than his parents at 2, but he was also very interested in their work and would randomly hand them tools to learn the name. He didn’t talk until he was 3 and his first word was “Tree.”
Adaine’s first word was “Aelwyn” who had been secretly coaching her to say the word. She also had a fascination with frogs from a young age, and at every chance she got, tried to look for them in puddles.
Fig didn’t trance as a kid (cus not an elf) but she didn’t say anything because she thought that this was normal. She used to try to sneak onto Baxter and get him to fly, but Baxter knew better.
Riz stunted his growth a little bit as a small child by being incredibly picky with his food. It was mostly a texture thing and even if he was starving he would refuse to eat, it brought Sklonda to tears sometimes because he was just so small and so skinny because the only thing he could keep down without gagging were basically smoothies. He still got all his vitamins though, in the form of WAY too many supplements. He forced himself to eat things he found physically gross once Pok died, mostly because he had to force himself to eat whatever they could get their hands on so it wouldnt be wasted once they went down to a single income household.
Gorgug might not have talked until he was 3 but he fully understood everyone when they were talking to him. He wasnt dumb, just quiet, and once he said his first word he was saying full sentences the same day. Wilma and Digby had to excuse themselves from the room a couple times because they were crying in releif and didnt want to freak him out.
Adaine was also a fairly quiet child but it was mostly because her parents were horrible and neglectful and didnt talk to her very often. Aelwyn did, because as small children they got along fairly well, and used to take her outside when it was raining to look for frogs in their garden. Adaine splashing in the puddles wearing her froggy raincoat while her big sister held her hand.
Fig, when she was small, once asked her mum why she tranced so much longer than the other elves she knew. Everyone else only needed four hours but she always felt awful unless she got eight. Her mum just told her that sometimes people need more and it was totally normal and changed the topic. Fig totally beleived her right up until her horns started coming in and she realised that oh, actually, i wasnt trancing i was just straight up sleeping this whole time.
In the movie there is a case to be made that the closeness between Elphaba and Glinda is the reason Elphaba didn't fall for Morrible and the Wizard's nefarious plan in the first place.
Like, yes, I think it's pretty much canon across all versions that Elphaba will always revolt in the end. That she can't abide to the cruelty against the Animals and will rage against the machine, so to speak.
But what if she was broken first? How much further would she have fallen for that propaganda, if Glinda had not shown her kindness? In the movie, we see Morrible approach is far subtler than the book or musical. And she even manages to redirection Elphaba's anger for the Animals' mistreatment and harness it into powerful magic.
If Morrible had been able to follow that trajectory, how far would that manipulation have gone? I can easily see an abuser/victim dynamic, where Elphaba only feels competent and important when she's being mentored or in the presence of Morrible. And why would she leave her? Morrible is the only person who ever believed in her.
But in comes Miss Bubble and Glitter. Who tells Elphie she's beautiful, and recognizes her immense talent, and worst of all, she's in the same class Morrible uses to try and train Elphaba into a pawn on her chess board. Suddenly, there is no other way but to back off on the emotional manipulation, bc suddenly she is here too…
Even before they step into the throne room, Glinda takes a moment to pause, look her in the eyes and say: "Elphaba Thropp, listen to me. You can do this. You can do anything." Reaffirming her belief in Elphaba.
And then that intimacy between Elphaba and Glinda is instantly turned against each other the moment Elphaba realizes what's actually up. Elphaba can't be manipulated like the way they planned? Fine. Blondie, you're our barging chip now. First it is done as positive reinforcement: "And hey, if it'll make you happy, possibly, your friend [can stay too]."
And then, as Elphaba actively flees, it is no longer Glinda who tells the Wizard she'll "fetch her back." No. Now Morrible is the one who tries the Glinda-as-a-bargaining-chip-tactic and demands her to get Elphaba back.
Sure, Glinda is the one who eventually gets sucked into the position that was meant for Elphaba. But how easily could the tables have been turned? Where Glinda didn't take that leap towards Elphaba at the Ozdust ballroom? Where they didn't get close and Elphaba remained an outsider, fending for herself.
In that timeline, Morrible would've been able to dig her claws in deeper, and it would not be Glinda, but Elphaba who became the Wizard's puppet instead.
I'm gonna do all of them because I'm bored and i have time to kill.
Catherine of Aragon: crocheting while watching old movies (I'm talking b&w old).
Anne Boleyn: she loves baking but she can never get anything right. She's an amazing cook tho.
Jane Seymour: star mapping (ever since Anna got her a telescope for her birthday she spends almost every night looking at the sky and draw different constellations).
Anna of Cleves: loves to do graffiti and also woodcrafts. She sometimes mixes the two and graffitis the stuff she carves so the queens have a ton of very colourful stools.
Katherine Howard: loves to sing and wants to play all the instruments ever (especially bass), unfortunately she only got to the ukulele.
Catherine Parr: plays piano (tried to teach Kat but was unsuccessful) and loves reading (especially horror and murder mysterys).
If the Queens would live in „our time“ which hobbies would they have?
archers gloves vs digital artist gloves being opposite of one another
Look how many people hate him. I’m pretty damn happy about that 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Made a timeline cause some of you are really lost about what happens when hshshshhs
Ofc there are thing in between I haven done yet or don’t wanna say cause spoilers. But yeah
iris by goo goo dolls really is insane though. I'd give up forever to touch you? you're the closest to heaven I'll ever be? all I can breathe is your life? and I don't want the world to see me cause I don't think they'd understand? when everything's meant to be broken I just want you to know who I am? does anyone hear me.
far from prudish but just got blazed porn of someone's pussy spread out so hard and up close like it's a map of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth and I'm king and grand duke sigismund II augustus inspecting his lands to plot defense against the swedes
I'm just a small lesbian that's obsessed with music and has a new hyperfixation every two weeks. hope you'll like me :)
