my brain: ……….ranibow sprimkle……………

I am going to populate this tumblr with artworks I've already posted elsewhere whilst I try to figure out how this website works.

Surely I'll get the hang of it eventually.

Something that makes me so emotional about book Elphaba is the incredibly subtle ways she shows her love for Glinda, so on par with Elphaba’s character and so subtle that if you blink you miss it.

Elphaba kisses Glinda on the carriage, that’s explicit, but before that she nearly misses it because she was buying food. For Glinda. Elphaba knew very well she wasn’t going back to Shiz that day, yet she still bought Glinda food with money she definitely needed for herself just so that Glinda wouldn’t be hungry on the way home.

Then you have the way she visits Saint Glinda’s shrine, Glinda’s namesake. Elphaba is not religious whatsoever, she’s very vitriolic towards the idea of religion in the book, yet she visits a Unionist shrine of all places that just happens to have statues of her “best friend’s” namesake.

She also asks the most questions of all about Glinda when Fiyero visits her, and asks about her first to add to that. Elphaba wants to know the most about Glinda. More than her father, Nessarose, Shell, the people who are her family (said loosely). More than even Fiyero, and he’s sitting right in front of her. She couldn’t care less about Fiyero’s wife yet is thoroughly offended when she finds out Glinda “only” married a baronet.

When Fiyero asks if Elphaba is married, she says “yes, but not to a man” and breaks down in tears. In the book water does hurt Elphaba, including her tears, so it stands to reason she doesn’t cry often. But the thought of being “married” to someone that isn’t there, that she can’t be with, is enough to cause her to harm herself even if it’s inadvertently. It would make sense for it to be Glinda, for Glinda is the only person to ever have even brought her close to tears.

And finally, this one is just silly, but the way Fiyero makes a comment on how Elphaba didn’t bleed the first time they have sex and the way she just blows him off by saying “well I’m not as virginal as you think” one hundred percent means Glinda was her first time.

I also do think that Elphaba really does love Fiyero, and I do mean romantically. But in the end he’s still just a distraction, a balm for the fact that the one person Elphaba truly wants is the person she can’t have. And that person is Glinda.

Dimension 20's Fantasy High is coming to @webtoon on March 31!

I feel like I’ve seen this before, but in case it was a product of a fever dream I had recently I want to let you in on it.

Whenever I have a rough day I like to go read through the “Aliases” section on Kipperlilly Copperkettle’s Dimension 20 Wiki page

I truly think that her name was said wrong much more often than it was said right, especially by Adaine

Kristen really said “what are you, four dogs?” And that was it man, cursed to Wrong Name for the rest of the campaign

If anyone has done this already I’m Sorry, and do you want to come up with more Kipperlilly aliases together

my phone isn’t charging even though i plugged her innnnn dramatic ass bitch. YOUR PUSSY IS FILLED! WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT

Can’t find this anywhere on tumblr so I’m being the change I wanna see in the world

which one of u was going to tell me that tea tastes different if u put it in hot water?

imagine if werewolf knots were square

When I was in my teens, I used to make an entire magic system with 360+ unique spells, ordered in magic schools and categories, and it boggles my mind that I basically reinvented DnD mechanics, even down to metamagic.

I wanted to make a wiki about it but I don't have time for it.

The point was to try to encompass every "superpower" I could think of into a magic system.

I even got lore related to it all, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna simply reuse it all for OC worldbuilding. Ngl the fun part was naming all the spells, symbols and coming up with the logic of it all.

idk where the dimension 20 fandom lives but here's my fig cosplay from eccc!!

and here's part 2! the brain rot was so strong i had to draw post-canon part 1

this is just part 1. Yes. There's more. There's a lot. I almost died. But my brain wouldn't leave me alone part 2

Was rewatching Wicked the movie (again) and have thoughts about the hot air balloon escape scene

Initially, I'd thought it was mostly there to 1) be a cool and exciting visual sequence, 2) kind of an action scene, and 3) pad out the film further. Maybe even a bit of symbolism of trying and failing to use the Wizard's own means against him to escape. And I do think it's still all those things, to be clear.

However, I also think it's really interesting from a character standpoint for Glinda, specifically how it sets up her choice to not leave in Defying Gravity.

You have the hot air balloon be Elphaba's plan first, no surprise there, with her immediately getting on and lighting it. Glinda lingers behind (again, no surprise there) and she struggles to take the literal leap required ("It's time to close my eyes and leap") despite Elphaba telling her to: "Quick, jump!" Glinda can't quite believe it: "Jump? Me, jump?"

But Glinda does take the leap, Elphaba help pulling her onto their escape craft. Glinda is the first to directly hit/fight off one of the guards, then Elphaba. And once the girls have a shared glance, they both reach upwards together to urge the balloon to go faster:

Together, we're unlimited.

I could talk more about how Glinda in some ways becomes Elphaba's replacement (more genuine) form of the Wizard throughout the film, i.e. she pins her hopes for acceptance and companionship on the Wizard, but actually receives these things from Glinda ("As half of Oz's favourite team" / "together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been") even before she meets him in-film (her being accepted at school because of Glinda's love and influence), because I think that aspect of the bond is an undercurrent in a lot of ways. The end of the film isn't just being betrayed/abandoned by the Wizard for Elphaba, but also — in a way — by Glinda as well.

But what I think the hot air balloon scene importantly illustrates is that, in it, Glinda was going to leave with Elpabha. They were trying to escape together, and Glinda was clearly hoping they'd make it successfully to the skies.

But of course they don't, the Wizard's palace — the symbol of his power — literally closing in on them, with Elphaba escaping the burning hulk of the balloon first (again, a parallel to the end of the play) and Glinda being the last to leave the balloon. So what's the difference between this escape attempt, wherein Glinda is willing to go, versus Defying Gravity's, where she stays behind?

A few things, I think:

The hot air balloon escape not working is a sobering reminder of how badly things can go

It is, accordingly, a reminder of the Wizard's power

But more importantly, I think, it illustrates the fundamental fact that despite Glinda telling Elphaba that "you can do anything," Glinda never considers the possibility or believes that Elphaba is more powerful than the Wizard.

This is the lynchpin of her choice not to leave in Defying Gravity, of course — Elphaba may have brains and knowledge and heart, but she is not "popular," and social sway/approval is what Glinda believes to be the most powerful thing in the world — but it's also indicated in the hot air balloon scene.

Because Glinda is willing to leave and escape with Elphaba when they are relying on the Wizard's vestiges of power (the balloon). She is not when it is Elphaba's (the broom).

She only trusts that one of them can fly, and so she stays on the ground the second time around.
