Gay Witches

Gelphie Challenge Day (I don’t know) prompt 13 Glasses

I picture them at like a Green Carpet event (Oz’s equivalent of a Red Carpet event). Like they just won an award for their new album!

HUH?!

“now that you’re choosing this. I hope it brings you bliss. I really hope you get it, and you don’t live to regret it. I hope you’re happy in the end. I hope you’re happy my friend”

Let’s talk about Glinda and how my heart breaks for her. She has to live the rest of her life with regret. Regret that she didn’t get on that broomstick when she had the chance. Regret that she chose public approval over choosing to stand with Elphaba. Regret that she has to put on a smiling face for the Ozians while deep inside she’s so broken. I think Glinda really has the best character arc in the show. She starts off only caring about her looks and popularity, but then she meets Elphaba and get’s a TOUGH lesson in what’s right vs. what’s popular. During “No One Mourns the Wicked,” she is 100% singing about herself:

“The Wicked’s lives are lonely. Goodness knows, the wicked die alone.” She’s not happy in the end. She is left all alone, isolated in her bubble, with a lot of popularity but no REAL friends. All of Oz looks up to her, but she feels so alone.

Elphaba is a strong character, but I think we really underestimate Glinda’s inner strength. She’s the type who will never show that she’s struggling and never loses her composure, even when everything is falling apart. Now she’s going to lead the Ozians while carrying out Elphaba’s work.
