Positively Emerald

i think elphaba and glinda are both actually very much idealists, at least in DG, only in opposite ways. elphaba's an idealist because she has this naive idea about affecting change. she thinks something being true or morally good will be enough to enact change, and that she if she can just tell enough people the wizard lies then she'll be able to take him down. but she's also very much a realist because she's able to recognize the flaws and injustices within oz, and that she won't be able to be happy while those injustices persist. she knows a life in the emerald palace serving the wizard could never satisfy her because it'd be partly built on a lie

“What is this feeling, so sudden and new? I felt the moment I laid eyes on you. My pulse is rushing, my head is reeling, my face is flushing. What is this feeling, fervid as a flame- does it have a name?”

just found ur blog and I'm loving this shit. Finally, someone who understands the urge to have the Character have bad sex that they don't enjoy! And then they'll jerk off while crying!! AND they won't even finish Yipee!!!

elphaba: i am filled with rage for the heinous actions of our fascist leader and the crimes he’s committing against the Animals, time to do acts of terrorism against the state, let me just take the most exposing route for no reason in particular
