MARVELOUS follows Tip, a youth who has suffered under the control of an occultist experimenter (and undercover witch) named Mombi for as long as he can remember. When Mombi's dealings in magic produce something unexpectedly innocent, Tip is forced to steal the Witch's newborn creature and run headlong into an Oz he was born in but has never truly known. As Tip learns to love Oz and regains confidence in himself, he accidentally finds himself in the midst of an insurrection that exposes Oz's deep scars and threatens to tear everything apart. As his home destroys itself from the inside out, Tip begins to realize that the salvation of Oz is intricately linked to the realization of his identity and the discovery of his purpose.

Hi! My name is Virginia, and I’m a PhD researcher studying how Wicked (stage & film) shapes fan views on gender, empowerment, and character identity — especially Elphaba, Glinda, and their relationship.

If Wicked has ever made you cry, feel seen, question power, scream-sing “Defying Gravity,” ship Gelphie, or rethink what “good” and “evil” mean — your voice is exactly what I’m looking for 💚

I’ve made a short anonymous survey for Wicked fans:

👉 https://forms.gle/k1nSdugieeGeVmrMA

🕒 Takes about 12–15 minutes 🔒 Completely anonymous 🎭 Open to all Wicked fans (casual to hardcore) 🎯 I’m in the final stretch of data collection!

Even if you don’t take it, a reblog would mean the world to help it reach more fans ✨ Thank you so much for supporting fan voices in academic research 💚

I’ve been seeing some slander towards Dorothy, and just want to remind everyone that she was a little girl who just wanted to go home.

Also drew the scarecrow, cause he’s my son and I love him.

Before I get into it I want to say I believe there has to have been at least one conversation between them where Scarecrow is doing the whole "I didn't have my brains so I couldn't scare them away," And Scraps asks him why he didn't just break their necks. He did it to the Witch's crows and that would have certainly stopped them from eating the corn.

On to the more serious conversation. I think one of the more interesting aspects of their dynamic that only applies to them, is they were both being created for the only purpose of serving others of "meat." While you can debate perhaps Scarecrow's creators didn't know and weren't as malicious, it does remain the same.

And Scraps of course, was very intentionally made to be a living being, with picked traits to make her a slave.

It takes Scarecrow to be King of all Oz then remaining in Ozma's court to get respected, Scraps it's shown and talked about in Lost Princess she never really is fully.

I always like to think that is part of their bond, even if unsaid. They know each other well, they can have a certain connection and safety in each other.

I do like to think they have a dynamic to protect each other. If Ozma had not freed (though no idea why she wouldn't) Scraps and she'd had to run I do believe he would have helped her.

And, I like to point out, he would have learned once he made it to the Emerald City, and stayed with her since that point.

So, while there is obviously much more to their relationship and dynamic, I do believe it's part of it. And a little bit of why they may have a certain extra, comfort and safety with each other. And, you know, as the rest of the relationship progresses that gets sweeter and stronger.

for we get to see the brightness of the sun, and take in its gorgeous orange rays for weeks on end

then we are ripped from our homes, placed on your porches, baked into pies and blended into lattes, carved into jack-o-lanterns with fires lit within our souls, and consumed without so much as a thought for our welfare

we experience all that life has to offer: pain, glory, darkness and light

and when our labor is over, we return to the ground from whence we came, satisfied to be nothing more than dirt beneath your feet...

but then we miss the sun, and life begins again

I did draw Kermit! Didn’t post him here because I didn’t think there’d be much of an audience, enjoy !

WITHOUT HER HE'D STILL BE IN THAT FOREST.

Every single member of the group has a legitimate reason to be walking on that road, even in Wicked.

Dorothy's been lied to by the Wizard, and believes the Witch is her ticket home (even if she has no idea how she'll actually kill Elphaba).

Boq has a score to settle with Elp-THE WITCH

The lion suffers from anxiety and has grown up in an oppressive atmosphere while being inundated by anti-witch propaganda! The Wizard's promises of courage and upgraded status as a hero would alleviate most of his issues, so, understandably, he takes on this task. Also, where else is he going to find people who are lost like he is, other than with this group of weirdos?

I'm so happy you like my design! Nick is also one of my favorites hehe, here's the Tin Man and Dorothy hanging out for youuu
