I won’t be normal until they kiss.

listen to pushing it down and praying by lizzy mcalpine

like, in every scene as much as the film has to follow the conventional fiyero/elphaba ship, you constantly see elphaba looking back for glinda. there's multiple scenes where elphaba will turn around and look behind her, searching for the presence of glinda to ground her, up until the final scene where once she's 'got the guy' she STILL turns around and seeks out glinda.

elphaba visits glinda the night before her wedding. she literally breaks her window to get glinda's attention. it's the classic 'throwing pebbles at your lover's window' that you see used countless times across fiction. then there's the whole fact that elphaba meets glinda on her BALCONY...very romeo and juliet coded.

elphaba crashes glinda's wedding. glinda is more hurt at the assumption that elphaba has left her behind once more than the prospect of fiyero leaving her at the altar.

glinda being the literal 'knight in shining armour' when she grabs elphaba's boots !!! and disguises herself and rides on horseback to try to save elphaba!! it's literally the trope also used in shrek!!

everything about them has been romantic because they're so inexplicably connected to one another. they cannot exist without each other. they're romeo and juliet except WORSE because glinda and elphaba couldn't even die beside each other. glinda watched her best friend. the love of her life. the only person she's ever loved kill herself and she had to keep on living. we need a word stronger than doomed.

Like. Not ‘implied’ not ‘there if you look for it’

Glinda tells her she’s beautiful.

They tell each other that they love each other.

They never kiss, yes, but Glinda kisses FIYERO, and THAT isn’t the canon ship.

I mean? The door scene??

All of Loathing??

No, actually, if either OR BOTH of them where men, then this is canon.

This is literally ‘sisters’. It’s ‘roommates’. It’s only because they’re lesbians that this ISN’T SEEN

We’re not. We’re not making shit up, right? Like this isn’t even fanon, it’s- it’s pointing out the obvious, BUT NO ONE THINKS ITS OBVIOUS, I feel like I’m going crazy

THEY TELL EACH OTHER THAT THEY LOVE EACH OTHER?? IT IS ACTUALLY IN THE SCRIPT?? IT IS IN THE TEXT?? ITS RIGHT THERE??

NO ONE would defend loving each other platonically if either of these women were men. I am saying this as an aromantic who DESPERATELY wants more representation btw.

WHY does no one outside of fandom think these two are lesbians?? It’s IN the stage musical of course (where else would they get it from) but is ACTUAL TEXT in the movie.

and we'll fall into us

the devastating consequences that Glinda has to pay for not accepting her queerness, ostracizing others for theirs, and staying complacent for too long... Glinda coming out of the closet at the end of the film and Elphaba allowing her the opportunity to do good and be good, even though it's too late for them to do good together... that bond of forgiveness and trust and love that now permeates throughout all of Oz because Elphaba was willing to give Glinda a second chance and knew she had it in her to live in and practice truth...
