Guys I think if Elphaba didn’t give Glinda a job to do before she “died” that Glinda probably would’ve pulled a Juliet and killed herself

The Hobbits’ Ages in Equivalent Man-Years

I always had a hard time keeping this straight, so I’m laying it out for myself as much as for anyone else who is interested to know. Hobbits, as we all know, don’t age like humans do; they take a bit longer to “get grown” as my mom put it. In particular, they come of age at 33, where it is stated that Men come of age at 18. (this also explaining why Hobbits live so long compared to what we, as humans expect; Bilbo’s ‘oddness’ was not so much that he was 111 years old, but that he didn’t look much older than 50. Most hobbits live to around 100 or above by a few years or even decades)

So if we equate 33 to 18, we can do a bit of algebra and figure up the ‘human’ equivalents of the hobbits’ ages in the Lord of the Rings books. The formula used here is 33/given age = 18/x, where x is the human equivalent. (You multiply 18 by the age given for them in the book, and then divide by 33.)

Frodo Baggins Given age at start of quest: 50. Human equivalent: 27

Samwise Gamgee Given age at start of quest: 36 Human equivalent: 19, closer to 20

Meriadoc Brandybuck Given age at start of quest: 37 Human equivalent: 20

Peregrin Took Given age at start of quest: 28 Human equivalent: 15

And just for fun

Bilbo Baggins Given age at the long expected party: 111 Human equivalent: 60, or if we’re rounding up 61. His age when Frodo found him in Rivendell was 69, almost 70.

I love thinking about the Hobbits in these terms. Being that I am now older than ¾ of the guys who went on the quest, and closer to Frodo than I am to the others, it makes them a whole lot more relatable. This might also explain why a lot of people are put off by how they behave; if you’re looking at them like humans of the ages listed in Hobbit-years, their behavior doesn’t make a ton of sense, particularly Pippin’s. But when you realize they are young adults closer to being teenagers than ‘real grownups’ (with the exception of Frodo), they become much more understandable, and much more relatable. They’re still naive, and Pippin is still a goofy child. Frodo is young enough to be fun-loving and a little care-free, but old enough for people to expect sobriety, maturity, and a certain amount of disdain for his younger friends’ shenanigans. (Especially in a society like Hobbiton, which is way too Upper Class for Pip and Merry’s tomfoolery.)

So instead of a 50 year old and a few 30-somethings, think of them more like this:

Frodo, the young adult who is, perhaps a little too old to be called a “young” adult anymore, but is still trying to hold on to his youth, and prefers the company of his kid cousins to the stuffy old folks at the “grown-ups table.” Frodo, who is still trying to figure out who he is outside of the context of his famous (and infamous) uncle, and who turns to his younger friends and family because they see him for him, not his adopted lineage.

Sam, the impressionable, under-educated son of a poor day-laborer who loves the boss who treats him like an equal and a friend, despite being so much older and wealthier and “smarter” than him, and who looks out for him and gives him a job despite not really needing an employee. Sam, the young man who is barely not a child anymore, who is unwaveringly loyal to the man who treats him more like a younger brother than a landscaper, because he wants to be so much more than a landscaper who barely learnt his letters.

Merry, the self-appointed mom friend who put off his childishness too soon, and who often forgets he’s not the oldest, while still marveling at the fact that he’s one of the grown ups now. Merry, who wants to look after the literal child that’s tagging along with them, his cousin the more-or-less prince who needs him to protect him, often from himself. Merry who still feels protective over Frodo when really Frodo is the one who really should be looking after him, and shutting Frodo down when he tries to do so.

Pippin, the baby who got in way over his head because of love for his family, and a thirst for excitement. The child who wants to be adult enough for the adventure, but is still immature enough to play in the bath. The child who had to grow up too fast because he was too curious. Pippin, the teenager who became a warrior of necessity, who wasn’t even an adult by the time they got back, and who took on the War of all Wars because he couldn’t stand to leave his family and friends to do it alone.

The hobbits seem a lot older when you go by numbers, but if you look at it in our terms, they suddenly become a little more human and a lot more complex, at least in my opinion.

Things Elphaba Notices About Glinda After She Returns (2)

Enclosed or small spaces have become a comfort for her, an extremely painful detail if thought about too hard. After Elphaba returns, she notices the way Glinda will sleep in the linen closet in her suite when she isn’t around, curled up at the very back with a pillow and blanket

Glinda apologizes for every small mistake that she makes, especially if it has to do with Elphaba

Glinda refuses to wear silver shoes of any kind, even if they would go well with her outfit

Ironically, for one that travels via bubble, Glinda isn’t fond of heights whatsoever. Elphaba notices that she’ll put up with it for the sake of Oz, but that it takes a lot out of her

There’s a lot of awful self-talk where Glinda never seems to stop referring to herself as ‘useless.’ She could have spilled a glass of water and it’s the first word out of her mouth. Elphaba notices this early on and immediately decides she doesn’t like it

Glinda is now a voracious reader and it warms/breaks Elphaba’s heart when she realizes that all the books on Glinda’s nightstand are ones Elphaba tried to convince her to read at Shiz and Glinda always said no

Perhaps one of Elphaba’s favorites is the way Glinda is always determined to be the little spoon, there’s no way out of it (not that Elphaba minds)

Glinda is by no means an alcoholic, but the way she seems to rely on it for sleep on rough days is disturbing

Ever since Elphaba’s ‘death’ and Glinda’s thrust into unexpected (and unwanted) power, the Grimmerie has begun to respond to her more and more. It’s later on that Elphaba realizes it must be because things were definitely not easy for Glinda the past five years she’d been left alone

Most importantly, Elphaba realizes that Glinda never stopped loving her

[sakurabraches]

the grimmerie is an obvious glinda stan and frankly the blatant favoritism is just gross. boq and fiyero were both dying and it was like to elphaba ughhh you can save them ig but you have to turn them into strange semi-inanimate objects. but with glinda it was like here sweetie here's a healing spell don't kys you're so sexy. and it gave fiyerocrow glinda's brown eye blonde hair combo for some reason. it's not even the first time this happened. in out of oz when ozma gets transed she has blonde hair and eyes the color of half frozen water. we can't keep letting it get away with this

Things Zoey has gone viral over;

Accidentally calling Mira ‘Mir-Bear’ on stream

A old post of hers from before Huntrix where she is key smashing over Celine (she was in full CEO gear) gets pulled up and Zoey replies ‘oh so we’re hating on the truth now??’

A video of her sexy dancing while singing Thunder Bringer from Epic

A video with the caption ‘I asked if we can see Wicked For Good and Mira said we have Wicked For Good at Home’ where Zoey is clearly filming Rumi from around the corner as she is just fucking belting No Good Deed as she folds laundry

Bites Rumi’s hand on stream because she tried to sneak snacks

[evilyoyo]

During a conversation about how people miss the point of art work due to Sexy, she says ‘people only remember spirit of the cimarron for the Sexy Horse instead of the plot about the colonization of Native Americans which is such a shame’

Signs Huntrix up for American ninja warrior while on vacation, they all go viral because the absolutely smash the course but Zoey goes viral because she goes first before any of the organizers realize who they are so they’re asking soft ball questions. When she says she’s a song writer and says the name of one of her song cloud raps from when she was 15 when asked for the name of the song and the picture of the caption saying ‘winner of five international idol song writing awards and an Grammy’ when she’s asked that becomes a meme.

Accidentally flips Mira over her head because she jump scared her

Rumi posts a picture going ‘Zoey is asking random white men for autographs now’ with a picture of her asking Tony Hawk for an autograph

[polytrix-juseyo]

Huntr/x posting a 'workout with me' video, but they forget they are demon hunters so they post the wildest workout routine known to man, and they start seeing comments and posts like

"travel to the er with me after attempting huntr/x's work out video"

"i survived huntr/x workout video (barely). here's my story"

"i swear i saw rumi guiding me to the light after my huntr/x workout attempt"

"how many times do i need to throw up before i stop?"

[charredhoney-squared]

Sometimes Zoey gets into fights, and Mira scolds her about it whenever it happens hrjejdkjfjfj

Bit of context: this is a guardian angel AU set in a college AU (kinda). Zoey is a college student and shares an apartment with Mira (guardian angel) and Rumi (nephilim, human/angel offspring). Zoey occasionally gets into fights with people who try to bully/pick a fight with her (and Zoey usually ends up winning lmao), but Mira rlly hates it bc her whole shtick as a guardian angel is to make sure Zoey doesn’t get hurt

It’s kinda funny cuz Zoey doesn’t know Mira is a guardian angel, but she’s down bad enough to kinda listen to her lmao 😭😭

Considering Glinda’s desire to save face coupled with the crippling anxiety and trauma she has, she most definitely has silent panic attacks (panic attacks that are characterized by intense internal fear without signs of outward distress). This is why, when Elphaba returns, she doesn’t realize at first that Glinda has these. All the time. Have some headcanons.

It’s incredibly subtle, and Elphaba almost feels like an idiot when she doesn’t recognize them for what they are for the longest time. They weren’t noticeable during their time at Shiz, but Elphaba had to admit she didn’t really see Glinda back then

The first time Elphaba saw one was when she returned to Glinda five years after her “death.” When their eyes met Elphaba could tell something wasn’t right. Glinda wasn’t outwardly panicking, but her eyes were glazed over and she wasn’t answering Elphaba when she talked to her

Elphaba had no idea what to do. She walked up to Glinda slowly and took her hand, and was shocked to find that her pulse was ten times faster than normal. She could see her chest tremble a little, but otherwise there weren’t any telltale signs anything was wrong

After this first one, Glinda reveals that she’s had them all her life, but that they started getting worse since her stay at the Emerald Palace. Glinda never specifically mentioned the way Elphaba’s death must have intensified them, but Elphaba knew she was trying to spare her feelings

Glinda tells Elphaba that they often make her dizzy and nauseous, and that sometimes her heart beats so fast she feels like she may pass out. But as the de facto ruler of Oz, Glinda always strove to keep them hidden. Even as she had one she would often work through them, maintaining speeches and council meetings while barely fighting off that impending dread

The only times she couldn’t control them were during bad thunderstorms and the anniversary of Elphaba’s “death”

Elphaba is devastated, mostly by the fact that Glinda was left to deal with this trauma alone for five years while still running a country, successfully at that. Glinda is bitter as well, but only a little. She understands that things were different then and she's desperate to convince Elphaba that she can't be expected to be responsible for every fact of her mental health

That doesn't mean, however, that Glinda doesn't want Elphaba by her side when she can't breathe and feels like throwing up. She sobs, desperately trying to catch her breath, crying "Elphie I can't do it, I can't breathe," and Elphaba holds her and strokes her hair and says "yes you can, yes you can, my sweet, just hold out." It's terribly traumatic but at the same time Glinda is finally allowing herself room to breathe and let go of this trauma for the first time.

thoughts on a migraine!glinda headcanon? 👀

First, I want you to know this ask made my day. It’s been rough so thank you so much. Second, you better believe I have thoughts.

They’d always been an issue since she was young, but she’d just been told to grin and bear it. It didn’t do to have those types of things ruining her image. While they were at Shiz, however, they started to get more intense. Maybe it was the stress of practically running the student body or trying her best to live up to Madame Morrible’s impossible expectations, but they became so bad that not even Glinda could stay for full meetings or classes like she used to.

Once, however, she couldn’t get out of bed, it hurt so bad. She’d already thrown up several times and was out of her pain medication because she’d used it so religiously that semester. There wasn’t any way in Oz she was going to reach out to the nurse, no one could see her like this, so Glinda had plans to sleep it off and hoped it wouldn’t be so miserable the next day. Of course, she forgot she shared a room with Elphaba.

She’d done a decent job of hiding her migraines from Elphaba so far (this takes place before the Ozdust and Popular) because obviously Elphaba would use it against her in some way (she wouldn’t, but we’re still in the “loathing” period). So, when Elphaba arrives that day in their dorm, she’s shocked to see Glinda curled up on her bed with the covers pulled over her head. She can’t even bring herself to be petty when Glinda whimpers at her to turn the light off.

When she discovers Glinda’s migraines, Elphaba is determined not to let her go through them alone. She’ll make cold compresses for Glinda’s forehead, make her ginger tea, and often massage her head for her since it seems to help. Glinda is so grateful for it; she’s never been taken care of this way before, let alone allowed to be vulnerable enough so that someone would see this side of her. Later, she’ll realize that that day was the first step in her journey of falling in love with Elphaba.

After Defying Gravity, the migraines don’t get worse but they come more often. Fiyero knows the routines from Elphaba and helps Glinda, but it just isn’t the same. Still, it helps keep the migraines at bay for short periods of time, enough for Glinda to be Glinda the Good with not too much trouble. Then, Fiyero and Elphaba “die.”

After For Good, Glinda’s migraines have become debilitating. Of course, she has Elphaba’s promise to live up to and there’s no way in hell she’s going to let some silly headache ruin it. She’ll drink her ginger tea, although it doesn’t taste the same as when Elphaba made it. She won’t allow herself cold compresses (there has to be some self-loathing in there). And she definitely won’t allow anyone to massage her head.

Finally, after five years of working herself to the bone and dealing with these hurts alone, Glinda has a migraine so severe that it prevents her from making any appearances for a week. It’s causing fevers, she can’t keep any food down, and she has one seizure that can’t be avoided. Elphaba, noting Glinda’s prolonged absence (she follows her work discreetly to this day), decides to take the risk of seeing her. Just to check in, obviously. When she finds her, pale, weak, and feverish, Elphaba nearly loses it.

Her specialty was never healing magic and she’s too nervous to try anything new. So she sneaks around Glinda’s room to make any kind of compress she can, to sit down with her and give her the most gentle massage she can. Elphaba remembers Glinda’s migraines, but they had never been this bad. Glinda had never been this sick. It terrifies her, but also influences her decision to stay with Glinda now, no matter what. She just needs to wake up first.

Thanks so much for the ask! Don’t be afraid to ask more :)

[gelphienation]

one thing I did appreciate about the stage to screen adaption of wicked: for good is that they added a bunch of scantily clad women dancing sinuously in the background during thank goodness. Which implies that “having a party the Glinda way” is a sort of burlesque experience. Which in turn calls back to the original L Frank Baum books (to borrow a phrase from ariana grande) where Glinda has an all female harem

[saltedbirdcat]

Do you think Glinda tried to save Elphies broom from burning in the fireplace only to burn her own hands in the process, leaving her to wail in anguish alone?

[sapphic-circles]

And when Elphaba gives in and comes back one day to find old burn scars on Glinda’s hands that she won’t talk about but that broom is sitting charred on display in a private memorial shrine to Elphie and it’s too easy to put together where the scars came from? What then?

[twisted-mockingbird]

I actually hate them so much

[galindaisgay]

The Grimmerie is so funny because what do you mean there was a healing spell in there the whole time and instead of giving Elphaba it to heal Boq and Fiyero it said “nah let’s have some fun with them instead” but it opens to the healing spell for Glinda because she’s like 2 seconds away from jumping off the balcony like “nooo don’t kill yourself, you’re so sexy haha”

[sabeedraws]

“You shouldn’t have done that.” „Well, they had it coming.“

Lurline help those who make fun of Glinda's roommate...!

one headcanon dear to me is that sam and steve had a one night stand in catws and steve left the morning after and didn’t eat breakfast that’s why he knows where sam lives and why sam teases him when he offer breakfast and says “if you guys eat that kind of thing”
