I was so glad that Fiyero called Glinda out for this. She chose the adoration she was being showered with over doing the right thing. She was so comfortable in her life, she didnāt mind going along with a corrupt system and going along with what Morrible and the Wizard were saying. I love that he was so straight with her.

"Wicked" is about the lifespan of love
I was musing on some things, and I am obsessed with both Wicked and Frankenstein lately - and to paraphrase the story - to be lost and to be found; that's the lifespan of love.
I can't help but think that that's what Wicked is about. Both the play and the movie.
(Love, in this context, will not always be inherently romantic. read this as you find fitting, though; be my guest).
For Elphaba, Love's a fragile thing that doesn't apply to her in any possible way. Love, for her, is loss; love, for her, is never to be found. Not because she doesn't believe in it, but because she trusts Love to be to those who are inherently good and, little by little, she is turned from an ordinary (if applicable) green girl into a wicked thing. Love is for the good, and none of the good she meant ever came to be good deeds.
And still, she found love. She found love, and love found her when she was lost and at loss on what to do. Love was a real thing, a tangible one that kissed her too fiercely and held her too tight, and it was hers; Love had not only found her, but taken form - as if It always knew that It needed to be tangible for her to believe It.
And she lost Love. She lost Love, and what a short lifespan both Love and Grace had. To be lost and to be found - and then to be lost again.
For Fiyero, Love is a real thing, sure; but he is lost. Finding Love was never a problem - but how can love find something that is lost? How can something that, too, has a lifespan, find him in his own lifespan when he is not sure what he does with that himself?
He finds himself, then, and he finds himself in Love. To be lost, to be found - to have lost her, to have found her. Then, to lose himself. Because of her.
And, for him, that is not loss - he grieves the loss of the life in Love that they could have had, but there is no loss of Love, no; because she lives. His Love lives, as does his love, and It found her, after all. To be lost and to be found. His was the only lifespan to cease. Not his love's (he hoped, he prayed, he begged). Not Love's.
Now, for Galinda, Love is not found nor lost; It simply is there, because she believes It to be freely given, easily taken - she has had It all her life. It makes no sense, whatsoever, that Love ever has a lifespan. To be lost and to be found? For her, Love was never lost; she always had It. It never needed to be found, because It always reached her.
And It finds her, again and again and again; and she barely realizes just how much loss to be so found costs. She can't, because Love found is so much louder than Love lost - that one only echoes in the in between of grieving silence and bustling crowds.
The lifespan of love begins, for her, at the end - because she lost the love she gave to a lost man that found himself in a love she didn't see before (granted, she couldn't have, so surrounded by love of her own, to her ownself), and she lost the love that was given by two other people finding each other because, well; she never believed Love could be lost.
At the end, she is Loss.
In the end, at the end, Fiyero and Elphaba are Found. At the end, the lifespan of love is to be lost and to be found. At the end, Love begins in Oz - in grief, in solitude, in everything that had never been before - to be nevermore found in those lands.
Hey, has anyone done a time-travel fic but instead of going forward or back to Shiz-era, Elphie and Galinda are thrown back before the Great Drought and have to try and keep Oz from collapsing AT ALL? Back in the time of King Pastoria before things went to shit?
@into-fiction , thoughts?
Changing āget her!ā to ākill her!ā is a tiny lyric change that has a much bigger impact than you might think. I was sitting in the theater like did I actually hear that right? And I did. So what does this change actually mean?
āGet her!ā means they just want to catch her before she goes too far. Reprimand her. Get the Grimmerie back. Rehabilitate her.
āKill her!ā means even though the citizens of Oz donāt fully know what sheās done other than the message from Madame Morrible, they are already ready to kill her within minutes of hearing the news. It means we skip all of the escalation and twisting of the propaganda that happens between the end of defying gravity and march of the witch hunters. If we start out at wanting to kill her, then where do you go? How do you escalate when you start at 100?
it well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, is such a throw away line that it completely took me by surprise that it is exactly what happens.
they never saw each other again.
they've changed each other for good so there's no reason for their paths to ever cross again. i think the way humans look at open endings as a chance to have a happy ending, over shadows the fact that in life, this might be it.
the future isn't unlimited.

Really in the mood to squirt or cream on someone's son's face š¦š«¦
wicked is to the wizard of oz as smallville is to superman
they are entities with their own canon based off of pre-existing properties. what happens in them does not correlate to the mainline canon.
āhow does fiyero go from ādancing through lifeā to āif i only had a brain.āā thatās like asking, āif smallville lex is deadā¦ how can he be supermanās big bad before thereās even a superman?ā
theyāre their own little universes building off of a dozen different interpretations of an already established universe.
fiyero isnāt the same scarecrow as the scarecrow in the MGM movie. same for boq and the tinman. they are different little guys. the MGM movie is a coma dream. wicked is the life and times of the wicked witch. itās not a coma dream.
wicked is a āwhat ifā universe, not a āthis is canon to Frank L. Baumās Wonderful Wizard of Oz/MGMās 1939 Wizard of Oz.ā
