Not a happy couple, but they do both look good in green…

Fanart of my own fic! I really just wanted to draw what Gelphie was wearing to their engagement ball while being a little bit angsty ☺️

People always attack Glinda’s decision not to runaway with Elphaba, but no one acknowledges how overtly selfish it is to ask that of someone.

although what Elphaba is asking of her is noble on paper, in practice it’s an incredibly selfish position to put Glinda in. By asking Glinda to stand with her in solidarity she is also asking Glinda to be ostracised and hated all throughout Oz when she knows full well how much being liked means’s to Glinda.

This traps Glinda is a lose-lose situation. If she agrees she loses everything, her family, friends, and future. If she refuses she is being complicit in injustice.

but on the other hand It’s a more selfish decision to refuse Elphaba request. To perpetuate corrupt beliefs you don’t believe; in order to be accepted and validated by people in power.

Although one of the options seems more ethically right, it is at the same time individually devastating. The conscious choice to willing ruin your life for things you believe in is a choice that only the strongest people can make. And we shouldn’t shame people when they choose themselves over ideals, because self preservation isn’t a thing to be ashamed of.

Fiyero hits on Galinda by putting a flower in her hair -> Galinda puts the same flower in Elphie’s hair at the end of Popular

sobbing at this cuteness

"If you did crack open Irene's head and asked her to give a monologue, I think it would be a lot of lies, honestly. [...] The only way to do it filmically, to try and let the audience slowly realize the subtlety of what's going on, is to drip-feed them these gestures. Hands, longing, how Irene perceives the world, the fuzziness of it, the unreliability of it, then of course the black and white, which is the biggest irony of all, because nothing is ever black and white." - Rebecca Hall
