What do you mean the iconic witch hat was born from Glinda's spite and cruelty but became a symbol of her willingness to stand by Elphaba even if it ostracized her from her friends and peers? What do you mean the witch's broom is an item enchanted in a moment of panic and innovation as Elphaba refuses to be cowed and grounded? WHAT DO YOU MEAN the spooky black cloak is a representation of Glinda's selflessness as she wraps it lovingly around Elphaba's shoulders, a threadbare cloak that will maybe, hopefully, keep her best friend (lover) warm? WHAT DO YOU MEAN all these symbols of evil actually represent a deep bond of friendship and love? What do you mean????

Boppers! This is not a drill! I repeat! This is not a drill!

Lin Manuel Miranda confirmed that he and Eisa Davis will start working on a stage adaption for warriors!

(The interview can be found on the New York Times)

[starlightsonnett]

Why is there not a modern au about the Warriors??? that would be so interesting, like imagine Ajax fighting with kids on Roblox or Masai and Cyrus/Cleon having a podcast

99% of "mysterious disappearances" esp of people in their 20s who start acting weird for 48 hours and then vanish are not mysterious, thats just when a lot of reality-obliterating mental illness tends to kick in and it's pretty easy to get a short circuit in your brain that makes you go family guy death pose in joshua tree national park. it's not any less tragic, it's just a documented phenomenon and not particularly predictable. its a big reason the medical advice is for people with a family history of schizophrenia to completely avoid weed and psychedelics. "people just go crazy sometimes" is a principle of human health that used to be a lot more accepted prior to the american midcentury and to a certain extent thats a healthier way to conceptualize and prepare for the risk, as opposed to the modern assertion that anyone acting weird is dangerous and broken forever.

you should have a rough outline of a plan for if any of your loved ones experiences psychosis, it really does happen a lot. UTIs can cause psychosis. taking drugs, even safe drugs, or prescription drugs, can cause psychosis. i was once prescribed a heavy regimen of vitamin D because i was deficient, but the doctor never told me to stop taking it, so i moved to california, stopped being deficient, and developed vitamin d toxicity with downstream hyperparathyroidism which triggered significant hypomania that was undetected and uncontrolled for yeeeeeeears. i just slowly got Weird and started making impulsive decisions based on slightly out-of-gamut beliefs. i drove cross country by myself to have a love affair. the love affair was real, the series of decisions leading to burning down my life in pursuit of it were based on not great brain function however. etc. you see what i mean. churchill mentioned depression being the "black dog who stalks us" (one reason for Churchgrim's multi-referential name) but theres another, stealthier dog called Insanity and it's closer to some people than others but man it sneaks up on you. every time i see one of those "guy gets weird and drives into the wilderness forever" missing persons stories i think "yeah i could totally pull that off"

"van gogh cut off his ear what a lunatic" you are 3 nights of bad sleep, getting unexpected upsetting news and taking a substance as benign as coffee at the wrong time away from doing the same hope this helps

Shakes you by the shoulders. Do you understand that in Wait for Me II and Doubt Comes In it is EURYDICE who has the chorus backing her words. Usually it is Orpheus whose words are backed by the "magic" sound, but in those songs it is her, because she is the one believing in a better world now. The walls ARE repeating their words back at them, it DOES sound like drumming, they ARE still singing with the beautiful song, but it is ORPHEUS who can no longer hear it. Do you understand

[realtalk127]

thinking about how the best case scenario that elphaba can imagine in the wizard and i is that finally someone will come along who will be able to change everything about her. even in her wildest dreams, she views that as her best option.

and then.

along comes galinda. who - after spending an entire night attempting to give her a makeover - settles on: ‘actually, you’re perfect just the way you are. i wouldn’t change a thing. except maybe to tuck a little piece of myself in with you, just there.’

and i just think that’s neat.

[ancanthus]

wicked truly has the funniest fucking foreshadowing ever. that pretty guy singing about how great it is to be brainless? yeah don't worry about that. oh the wizard saying he feels strangely paternal towards elphaba??? nahhhhhhh that's wild, anyway. oh nessa being gifted some handmade, sentimental shoes from her older sister?????? it's not importantttttt baby girl

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i’m so genuinely lucky to be dumb as hammers. the simplest things bring me joy. i’ve had several fits of passionate laughing out loud today because i can’t stop thinking of the phrase “one william dollars”

[crunchi-yuriful]

"im a boy" "im a girl" okay. i was alone so long i didnt even know i was lonely.

FOUGHT HARD AND PREVAILED

[astralcities]

this hogwarts legacy shit is so stupid because like, no, boycotting it will do no damage to jkr. that's not the point. it's about solidarity against a woman who is the face of the uk's transphobia right now. if you can't restrain yourself from spending 70 USD on a video game you're just spineless. you don't need to make a big argument about how you're not hurting people, Not Really. you're just selfish and more interested in your buggy blood libel game than solidarity. that's it. it's embarrassing

me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

[miaislying]

Hey OP? What the FUCK does this mean?

[personsonable-deactivated201908]

decay exists as an extant form of life

[miaislying]

That’s a terrifying answer, have a nice day

‘relationships are work’ means ‘you have to put effort into loving each other intentionally & learning how to love each other and communicating properly’ not ‘your relationship makes you feel stressed and sad most of the time & the other person disrespects you and treats you bad but you stay anyway’

[siahatha]

it’s time we start oppressing ppl that use the word “hubby”

[acoolguy]

@annabethisterrified you’re

[annabethisterrified]

LOL yep that’s the day job! I started last year after graduating, working on the NASA side of things with the mission doing social media/outreach, so I’m going to do my obligatory HUBBY LINK DROP: insta, twitter, fb

[dexmathylphenidate]

[forumgamer]

To get back to OP’s point: please stop saying hubby, wifey and, especially!, pupper. Reason being… I really dislike it for some reason.
