There's a certain Wicked fic author I have learned not to trust because they always delete their fics, I don't know why
So I download a copy of their fics before they delete them so I can still read them
Edit: I checked and I think they might have erased their entire AO3, weird

Interesting to notice that black women are the ones that recognize Glinda's negative traits for what they are
Exactly! And not just black women, but people of color. Obviously not all, but mainly because to someone who doesn’t truly understand racism, the things Glinda says to Elphaba is just poking fun, but to someone who has experienced racism, it’s more than that. It’s the feeling you get every day when people tell you that you have to act white to fit in, and that your own way and your own culture isn’t good enough. Obviously, I’m not hating on white people, but it’s understandable why some of them can’t see it the same way, because they might not know how that feels.
I wanted to add, that this is why I don’t like popular as a concept. I love the song, I sing it all the time. But it’s not the cute friendship song it’s made out to be. People say it’s supposed to be Glinda telling Elphaba how to fit in, because she doesn’t want her to get made fun of or hurt. But it doesn’t look like that. In fact, if you’ve ever been in that situation you know how much it hurts to be told things like that. I truly believe that Glinda changed at the end of the song. But the song was hurtful, and if my friends ever told me something like that, I would think about it forever. It might be hard to understand the racist implications of things Glinda says if you don’t know what it feels like to have people be subtly racist to you, and it’s as simple as that.
Sorry to be rude, but people are stupid; "Popular" is not a positive song, it's profoundly cynical; "having good ideas is irrelevant what matter is been attractive and popular" is not a positive message
You are not just correct in your reading of "Popular" I think that's the intended meaning; hence why it's immediately undermined by Fiyero being like "You don't have to be like Galinda"
No need to be sorry! 😂 I get it! Especially when I see other people say that Fiyero telling Elphaba, “You’ve been galindafied, you don’t have to do that.” is just because he just wants her to be “not like other girls.” I really want to know what anyone else would have done if you saw, any person really, start to act like someone else entirely after becoming friends with someone for one day. Galinda and Elphaba had just become friends, and Elphaba was already a completely different person. It’s not best friends slowly rubbing off on each other, it’s a complete shift. Anyone would tell her that she can just be herself. It’s not me glorifying Fiyero as some sort of saint. It’s just what any decent person who witnessed that would say. I know if I started acting like the popular kids in my school to “fit in”, I would want my friends to talk to me about it.
Ugh that song. No one gets it and it drives me up the wall. Its flashy and pink-washed and catchy as hell, but holy hell the majority don’t listen to the lyrics she’s singing… Because they are awful.
“And even in your case,….Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face”
“And with an assist from me, to be who you'll be Instead of dreary who you were, Well, are”
“When I see depressing creatures, With unprepossessing features” (Now remember Glinda called her the toughest case so basically she’s the most severely depressing creature)
All of this is hidden between quirky “lar’s” and “La La’s” while Glinda slides all over the floor and hangs from the ceiling at 6am to distract you from the fact that she’s being incredibly mean in the most sugary sweet way. Then she puts a flower in her hair, stares at her own reflection WITH Elphaba realizes her green is a complimentary color to her pink and then calls her “beautiful” as if they were a set, not because she thinks she’s truly beautiful as is but because she makes a good accessory. Elphaba leaves and Glinda concludes the song with
“You’ll be popular, Just not quite as popular AS MEEEEEE”
….This is the example people refer to when they say that “Glinda didn’t need to look at things a different way to find Elphie beautiful” 🙄
Oh my God Yes! Folks are like, "she calls her beautiful in this song!" yes, after she called her a depressing creature that needs to be fixed
Also I want to highlight this part, it's more on the general themes of the musical
Celebrated heads of state or Specially great communicators Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh! They were popular! Please - It's all about popular! It's not about aptitude It's the way you're viewed So it's very shrewd to be Very very popular Like me!
Again my girl is literally saying all that matters in life is being attractive and charismatic. And she even admits it's cynical (BTW, people acting like Glinda is an ingeneu when she sings shit like this)
God, it's just like Dancing Through Life
People love that Glinda justifies their white privilege, so they ignore the fact that her entire arc is about how she is wrong and changes in the end. If you look at Glinda as the hero from the beginning you can ignore all that pesky growth she experiences and just comfort yourself with the knowledge that being just like Glinda is a good thing! (Nvm the fact that her growth and change is what makes her a good character) 🙃

Saw a headline from a few months back that was like "Disney sold it's soul to AI" and like, Disney is the biggest company here
Also Disney never had a soul, not even when Walt was alive and attacking unions and trying to create his own town where he could micro manage everything
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Chapters: 1/? Fandom: Wicked - All Media Types, Wicked - Schwartz/Holzman, Wicked (Movies 2024 2025) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Elphaba Thropp/Fiyero Tigelaar Characters: Elphaba Thropp, Fiyero Tigelaar, Nessarose Thropp, Frexspar the Godly (The Wicked Years), Dulcibear (Wicked) Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Arranged Marriage, Arranged Marriage, Fiyero’s parents are dead, Elphaba Thropp Needs a Hug, Fiyero Tigelaar Needs a Hug, Frex needs an ass kicking, Making up Ozian politics as I go, Fiyero Tigelaar Loves Elphaba Thropp, Oblivious Elphaba Thropp Summary:
Elphaba felt as if she was going to vomit. She sat on her bed in her closet of a room in her father’s house. Her whole world had been turned upside down with one simple word. Married, she was to be married in a week, to a man she had never met. A man who lived on the other side of Oz no less. Her father Frexspar Thropp the Governor of Munchkinland had arranged it all in the last few months without her knowledge or input. He’d been scant with the details. Telling her only the barest minimum of details.
(Do not start shit with the Zutarians, you actively went to look to them, they did not start it
But they're saying nonsense! That one is saying the women have more agency even though Suki was made into just Sokka's love interest, and that other one is complaining about the fandom wanting to tone down Katara while praising the show that toned her down to hell and back and...
Cht, don't start shit. They didn't start it. You did)
The other day I saw someone discuss how people no longer know the meaning of "crackship" and today I'm seeing someone tagging Zutara as a "crackship"
Zutara is not a crackship; like I don't like it and I hate the shippers but it's not insane nonsense that makes no sense to anyone, not even the person shipping it. It's a perfectly reasonable ship and a reasonable person could find it compelling
People really have forgotten the meaning of "crackship"
But on the whole "Aang forced Katara to have kids"
Katara herself see the future marring a man who is a powerful bender and having kids and grandkids as a positive one
Second, people act as if Aang wouldn't feel the fear and pressure of having airbending kids; but either way it's likely that he didn't. He only had 3 kids, and there seems to be an important age gap between them, I'm not sure how old Bumi is, but seeing as he was a kid when Tenzin was a baby he must be about 8 to 10 years older. And if Aang was all about repopulating the Air Nomads he'd probably do what the Viltrumites do and try to have as many kids with as many women as possible; but no, he has 3 kids with his waterbending wife
Actually the one who appears to feel the pressure to repopulate the Air Nomads is Tenzin. He married a woman significantly younger than him, who isn't a bender and had 4 kids in relatively quick succession. And the kids ages relative to Korra's, suggest that Aang's death might have prompted his break up with Lin because he wanted kids and she didn't
But I'm off topic. Nothing in either show suggests Katara dislikes the idea of having a family or that she regrets having kids, she looks very happy with her grandkids in her brief appearance in Korra
And nothing on either show suggests that Aang would push Katara to have kids she didn't want

Saw someone say Katara should have been childless; and like, Katara herself is shown to want kids, or at least a future where she marries a powerful bender and she was kids, grandkids and great-grandkids is appealing to her

A second Dollar General has hit the server
Further update: Greg is trapping goblins in the Dollar General
"Glinda never had to look from a different angle to find Elphaba beautiful"
True, but Fiyero was the one that chose Elphaba over his status, the one that was calling out the propaganda from the begining. I love both ships but some of y'all need to recheck your priorities
I mean, Glinda actually screamed in terror when she first saw Elphaba then *ahem* generously offered to change her skin colour, literally calling it a "problem" but sure, she didn't have to look at things from a different angle. Which is totally not a crucial aspect of her arc in both films.
(Sorry, my attitude is not directed at you op - this argument just makes me roll my eyes into oblivion)

YouTube recommended me a video "5 signs a man is not ready for polygamy" and I thought it was polyamory advice, it's not, it's a Muslim dude with 4 wives (also he's a gringo) and the title actually says "polygyny" I misread it
Anyway, I give it a shot anyway, and I immediately know why this bitch is not associated with the polyamory community because his first thing is a man can't do polygamy if he's not ready for hard conversations solid advice except he's telling how his first wife was Angry at the prospect of polygamy and that's a no go in my opinion and he took another wife behind her back (he says "bad move", but she should have divorced him)
And then he starts going onto the usual "men is the head of the house blah blah blah blah" and THEN he says he can't talk to his wives on their periods
I saw another video from the same guy is like cult like shit; so no, I don't know why YouTube recommended this guy
