good luck, witch

meanwhile elphaba in front of fiyero in alaym:

... None of this would've happened.

inspired by Cynthia Erivo’s talk on the Treatment podcast. It’s something that isn’t discussed enough, even though it’s such an essential part of her story.

Hope you enjoy it :)

I want to share my video with you

How do they bear it?

Until Glinda.

During their conversation before she forces Glinda to hide, you can see the first of those tears start to fall. And then, of course, she sobs openly when leaning her head against the closet door, mourning what could never be. This isn’t to say that Elphaba didn’t care about the others, far from it. She’s always had a big heart.

Cynthia Erivo via instagram:

I could write you an essay, a poem, Shakespearean prose, to describe what this journey has meant to me, what lessons this time has taught me, bought me. I could try to give a metric to the love I have felt and experienced. I could give a number to the stories I have heard. The truth is the numbers are too small and the words are not enough. So I'll simply say this. Take my hand and walk with me to the end of this road paved with gold and hopefully, the things that l've found, might find you too. Thank you for letting me be your Elphaba.

I never knew 20 seconds could ruin my life 😭
