I’ve mentioned this countless times, but I found this podcast when I had nowhere to turn. before I knew it I had binged the first two seasons in less than two days, doing nothing but listening and falling in love with Sam’s wit and Caleb’s heart and Chloe’s quirkiness and Dr Bright’s amazing therapy and Mark’s distance + broken love. I caught up quickly and then season 4 came around. Damien, while frightening me a bit, continued to remind me of JD from Heathers. I felt safe in the aura of Dr Bright’s office, witnessing Caleb and Adam’s cuteness, and listening to Sam talk about her cat. I had been completely engulfed by this show in the best way possible. through social media I started to find out about the cast and what was going on in their lives (pun intended, live-streams of Lauren and Briggon are my favorite things) and that put me more in touch. I can’t thank you enough for actually taking the time out of your day to not only talk to a huge fan but make them feel validated and heard and even more loved by the people they look up to???? I really don’t know where I would be without this story, these characters, and their beautifully brilliant VAs. Sam was the first character to really show me that my anxiety wasn’t me just overreacting, that I had a voice and I was capable of gaining some independence. actually, hearing her sessions was really the first thing that ever helped me realize anything positive about my anxiety. The Bright Sessions means so much to me. more than I could ever express no matter how many times I try. I learned some important things about myself and my relationship with my mental health from this story. I can only hope that other people can get what I did out of it. my journey was crazy and hard and it felt never-ending, but I made it and The Bright Sessions helped me get here. so Lauren, Briggon, Julia, Anna, Andrew, Ian, Mischa Stanton, Evan Cunningham, Charlie Ian, Alex, Alanna Fox, and the rest of the cast and crew of this strange and unusual- but also extraordinary- podcast: thank you for guiding me to my adulthood. @juliamorizawa @briggonsnow @thebrightsessions @anna-lore

She put her face against Glinda’s and kissed her. “Hold out, if you can,” she murmured, and kissed her again. “Hold out, my sweet.”

Day 2 of Pride, Lesbians!!! Chose Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked the broadway Musical.

in the scene with baby elphaba where the children are bullying her, we have a shot of her hand clenching as her anger and frustration at being mistreated grow

when practicing magic with morrible, morrible puts her hand over elphaba to help her, and we get a visual reference to the wicked witch's iconic claws. in this moment, morrible channels elphaba's anger so that she may produce magic, tapping into her feelings of isolation and loneliness and otherness by bringing up the hate crime in dr dilly's classroom. and as this plays on elphaba's isolation, the wicked witch persona is formed

in defying gravity, they callback to the childhood scene by having a similar shot of elphaba's hand as morrible announces to oz that elphaba is inherently evil (as evident by her green skin/otherness) and wicked because of what she did to the Monkeys. this solidifies elphaba as the wicked witch in the mind of the ozians

only this time, rather than suffering alone, glinda takes elphaba's hand and tells her not to be afraid. because while glinda fails elphaba in many ways, it's her love that grounds elphaba and strengthens her sense of self enough so that she can ultimately defy the wizard and stand up for what's right, and it's glinda who reminds elphie of her own goodness and potential

so in for good, at kiamo ko, elphaba takes glinda's hand one last time, a testament to her choosing her own goodness. and the shadow of the witch's hand melts away
