thinking about how the best case scenario that elphaba can imagine in the wizard and i is that finally someone will come along who will be able to change everything about her. even in her wildest dreams, she views that as her best option.
and then.
along comes galinda. who - after spending an entire night attempting to give her a makeover - settles on: βactually, youβre perfect just the way you are. i wouldnβt change a thing. except maybe to tuck a little piece of myself in with you, just there.β
and i just think thatβs neat.
