I looooooove that scene in For Good where Nessarose is signing an anti Animal law to be imposed in Munchkinland and Boq asks her "you're not really going to do that, are you?" and Nessa, at first calm only to explode into rage, answers "If I don't people will say "She's just like her sister""
I really like this additional layer of context to Nessa's descent into villainy. I know that she's already a complex character in the musical, depending on how you look at her, but it's easy to interpret her actions in Act 2 as: "My sister abandoned me and my boyfriend doesn't love me so I became a dictator."
But this extra scene in the movie is interesting. Upon Elphaba establishing herself as the enemy of Oz, Nessa was probably thrust into the spotlight and everyone looked at her with scrutiny and suspicion. It must be so easy to earn the reputation of a wicked witch if it literally runs in your family. One lapse in judgement, any remotely Elphaba-like behaviour and Oz turns against Nessa too. Nessa, who has never endured the sort of hostility and ostracization Elphaba has and simply cannot handle it.
So, she does everything entirely in opposition to Elphaba, everything her sister rallies against just to prove herself and to alter what everyone thinks it means to be a Thropp sister. To control the situation, to control something for once.
Nessa tries to distance herself from wickedness without caring what wickedness even is. She just knows it's embodied by Elphaba and she's not Elphaba.
So she's warped into a version of herself that she hates, a version of herself who knows on some level that what she's doing is wrong (if her obviously gritted teeth composure when agreeing to the anti Animal law is any indication) and cannot face her own reflection. And what does all this disassociation from wickedness come to? Nessa giving up and accepting that she's become the Wicked Witch of the East.

I need more people to watch this movie because it's so good and I need more fandom, so if you have the chance to see it in your country, do it. Because it's a Spanish film, but if it were English, Tumblr would be full of gifs, fics, fanart, and more... ๐๐
Por cierto, he escrito un segundo fic sobre El Cautivo (y probablemente haga un tercero)

I have three big criticisms of HOTD:
1) The way they pat themselves on the back for being a feminist show and then remove all personal ambitions from women and erase all of the female friendships that aren't rhaenicent Laena and Rhaenyra's friendship you will be missed. (No but seriously why do the women of this show all have to be cautious about war while the man became all warmongers ? Let Rhaenys count the dragons ? let Rhaenyra be furious and want war because they ursuped her before they kill her son, she already has ample reasons to do so).
2) the way they remove agency and with that some culpability from the characters. What do you mean Vhagar eating Luke was an accident ? Why did Alicent misunderstand Viserys ? Why is Criston Cole accidentally killing old men ? Why is it ambiguous on whether or not Daemon intended for them to go after Jahaerys ?
3) the 2nd generation of team Black got screwed over. Jace is the only one in the second generation on Team Black that is developed to some extent and even with him, they removed an entire storyline of his competency as a diplomatic envoy throughout the realm and an entire friendship that is an extremely important motivation for Cregan Stark, a major player of Team Black and of the dance. It does have similar effect to removing Daemon's relationship with his children (including his step-sons) when his motivations to go after Aemond is motivated by Lucerys's death in the books because he loved him not because Rhaenyra told him she wanted Aemond. It's two episodes in and we still haven't heard Rhaena talk at all, Baela got a conversation finally but how much more conversation did the 2nd generation of the Greens get in the same amount of time ? Even Joffrey, who is 10 in the book at this point, already has a character beat that was skipped (maybe they'll do it when Jace dies, to be fair). I think a fair amount of the last criticism could have been avoided if they stopped rushing the Dance. We could have two-seasons of the pre-dance politics (or at least a season and half).
The "Jace and diplomacy tour around Westeros with his dragon" just makes me mad though because while I loved the funeral scene, .. Jace had one scene in the second episode and don't get me wrong, I loved this scene but come on. Why not have him do a two-episodes quest of getting the allies they need ? We would have the time to establish the friendship between Jace and Cregan, we would meet and establish Jeyne Arryn as a character and the Manderly while building Jace's character and competency.
someone talk to me the way henry talks about fanny <33
"'...with such unpretending gentleness, so much as if it were a matter of course that she was not to have a moment at her own command, her hair arranged as neatly as it always is, and one little curl falling forward as she wrote, which she now and then shook back, and in the midst of all this, still speaking at intervals to /me/, or listening, and as if she liked to listen, to what I said. Had you seen her so, Mary, you would not have implied the possibility of her power over my heart ever ceasing.'"

"'I could so wholly and absolutely confide in her,' said he;' and /that/ is what I want.'"

Philip IV of Spain and Elisabeth of France
When Elisabeth of France,ย the eldest daughter of King Henri IV and Marie de Medici, arrived at the Spanish court, Elisabethย underย went significant change from a carefree young girl to a serious politician in her own right, acquiring political experience that would serve the crown well during the last years of her life. As the political situation grew more complicated, Elisabeth responded competently to the important matters that Philip IV gradually began to delegate to her. Elisabeth of Franceโs period of governance came at a crucial moment for the Spanish Monarchy, from 1642 to 1644, when it was undergoing an intense economic, military, and political crisis. At this same time, the kingโs favourite and minister Count-Duke of Olivares fell from power,creating a vacuum that the queen hurried to fill, and her political influence notably increased after January 1643.
Even though the power she wielded was necessarily delegated by Philip IV, in times of political crisis, her role crucially influenced the Spanish government. While Olivaresโs fall had facilitated her assuming this role, it was the queenโs extraordinary political skills and, in particular, her success in negotiating financial support and military maneuvers that proved she was equal to the task of governing in the kingโs absence.ย The first time the queen had been given power were the years 1626 and 1632, when the king left Madrid to summon the Cortes or Parliaments of Aragon, Valencia, and Catalonia.ย
In August 1627, the queenโs role took on greater importance, as the king became seriously ill, precipitating one of the most critical moments of his reign. Given what seemed to be the likelihood of his death, Philip wrote a will and testament according to which Elisabeth, who was pregnant at the time, would become regent until the unborn child, if a son, would reach majority. If a daughter, she was to marry her paternal uncle, the infante Carlos, and the couple would inherit the crown. The king recovered the first week of September.
The revolt of Catalonia, which began on June 7, 1640, was followed by the revolt of Portugal in December that same year. These unprecedented rebellions within the Iberian peninsula coincided with other armed conflicts through out Europe in which Spain participated. France had declared war on Spain just five years earlier, and since then, Philip IV had mentioned several times that he wished to go to the battlefront. News that Louis XIII had visited the French troops in March 1642 caused Philip to visit his as well. He departed from Madrid in April 1642, leaving Elisabeth and her son, Baltasar Carlos, in tears.ย In addition to her activities with the Junta de Gobierno, the queen attended council meetings and royal ceremonies in the company of Baltasar Carlos, who had just turned thirteen. Her actions as head of government served as an example to the young prince. The queen took charge of the government for nearly eight months, until the king returned in early December.
Elisabeth had two main concerns during her final year as governor: first, she had to find the monies to supply the armies fighting both the Catalonian rebels and the French; and second, she had to secure funds for the defense of the Portuguese border. In both cases she was assisted by Chumacero, the Council president, with whom she consulted daily. Thanks in part to her efforts, the army at long last achieved several victories in 1644. Philip and Elisabeth wrote to each other regarding government affairs, just as Charles V and Empress Isabel had done a century earlier.ย Elisabeth of France retained an active role in governance until September 1644, when the first symptoms of erysipelas, the disease that would eventually lead to her death, first appeared. A few days after his wifeโs death, in a letter to the queenโs close friend, the Countess of Paredes, the king wrote,
โCountess, you may judge how I haveย reached this point; in one day I have lost my wife, my friend, my helper and counselor in all my labors. Surely I must be made of bronze, for I have not lost my mind or my life.โ
