I think we’ve lost the art of fanfiction being pretentious a little and it died with livejournal

When you think about it the wicked years is kind of like my brilliant friend if they had magic powers weren’t Italian and none of that other stuff happened

gelphie taught us that if you bother someone consistently enough, they'll eventually fall in love with you

If you're a man and a showrunner first of all you need to kill yourself

What the hell, why am I just now seeing posts of Elphaba attending Brooklyn n2??? Jessica Vosk is in the house and you people didn’t make more noise???

see glinda's mistake was forgiving elphaba in the bridge of for good. because in the book when elphaba asked sarima for forgiveness and sarima refused her elphaba was like okay well i guess i have no choice but to hang around and thoroughly befriend you. whereas glinda forgave elphaba and elphaba fucked off into the desert immediately

it's so incredibly frustrating the insane burden of proof people seem to have with lesbian relationships so that people will see a kiss between two women where one says "hold out my sweet" and be like well it's not strictly romantic maybe they're just really good friends why are you insisting that it must be romantic when no one would ever hold this standard to a m/m or f/m relationship. we very much make lesbian attraction and love between women invisible or jump through crazy hoops trying to insist it's not romantic. why are we so afraid of just definitively unambiguously saying two women have romantic affection for each other? even gregory gets on my nerves sometimes with this cuz i do understand the importance of ambiguity and characters protecting their privacy in the wicked years i really do and i understand how it ties into the wider themes but how hard is it to just be like these two women had romantic/sexual feelings for each other or they had sex with each other why must lesbian relationships always exist in the margins or in implication? but to be fair to gregory i do wonder if he was aware of this and this colored some of the decisions he made writing ozma/rain's ending in the another day series

Sometimes i get annoyed at shit like “millennial movements” because wtf is that. But even I was thinking “she’s such a millennial.”

the fact that arianators talk about Glinda like she’s some malevolent being or poltergeist that’s taken possession of an innocent woman and won’t let her go IS kind of funny too because that’s precisely the role that Glinda occupies in Elphaba’s life except Elphaba has seemingly no idea this is happening

No matter how shitty it might feel in the moment, most of the time when someone comes to you to communicate a boundary or a need or a negative feeling about something you did, it is actually a compliment. They are telling you BECAUSE they care about you and want it to work between you and because they trust you to care to do better. If they didn't care about you, they'd just avoid you. That uncomfortable convo is in fact a declaration of love and trust. Or at least intention of friendship. If they didn't like you, they'd just try to avoid you whenever possible. They wouldn't care to have The Talk (which is often scary and uncomfortable for them also). So try to treat their trust with care, even if it really upsets you to learn that you've accidentally hurt them

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought of her SNL UFC sketch when she said “shall we go for it?”

fanfic writers who type their works directly onto ao3 instead of copy-and-pasting from elsewhere have no fear. fear fears them.
