I love pictures of the Rocky Horror cast just hanging out, but I love this one so much in particular

The way Tim is looking at the camera, how him and Barry are chillin so close, Peter is just sittin there, Patricia is barely in frame and listening intently, it's all great. It all feels so casual and comfortable and silly I just- I love those guys, man

wicked 100% justified its length btw. this is one of those rare times when i actually, genuinely believe it was done for the good of the movie. it doesn't drag at all. if you wanted to cut anything, you might have to start cutting songs.

the wicked movie teaches important moral lessons like "be bisexual in college" and "don't trust politicians" and "if you push someone who's in a wheelchair without their permission, someone might throw a bench at your head with their mind"

I was explaining gelphie to a friend from uni when she said that she didn't understand why americans had to force this politically correct stuff everywhere, and the hand of Athena had to descend from the sky and grab me by the hair to stop me from punting her all the way to Oz. The gays did NOT suffer through almost a century of queer coding only for you to chalk it up to "woke", SUSAN. GLINDA UPLAND AND ELPHABA THROPP HAVE BEEN SHACKING IT UP HOMOSEXUAL STYLE FOR 85 SLUTTY SLUTTY YEARS!!!!! WHAT DO YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope wicked 2 ends with an 8 1/2 minute long gratuitous lesbian sex scene with crying and handholding while fiyero politely waits outside. For the girls

I’m thinking about Wicked tonight, specifically why Elphaba ends up with Fiyero instead of Glinda in the musical despite Elphaba and Glinda having the more well-rounded relationship.

You could chalk it up to the writers wanting a heteronormative ending (and I’m certain that’s part of it) or the fact that Elphaba and Fiyero had a love affair in the book. But I think there’s a bit more nuance to it.

The whole point of Glinda’s character is that she upholds the status quo of Oz. No matter how much she loves Elphaba or sympathizes with the plight of the Animals, she will always align herself with the current system and those in power. And as long as that remains the case, a relationship between her and Elphaba is futile because Elphaba will not give up her cause.

Elphaba and Glinda represent to different ends of a spectrum. Elphaba resists the oppressive forces in Oz, while Glinda upholds them. But Fiyero is somewhere in the middle. He starts out privileged and carefree like Glinda, but quickly turns to Elphaba’s side. He does become Captain of the Guard, but only to find Elphaba and help her evade arrest.

And therein lies the difference between Glinda and Fiyero as love interests to Elphaba. Glinda would never sacrifice her title as “the Good Witch” and all her power granted from the Wizard, even if it meant helping Elphaba. Fiyero, on the other hand, does give up his privilege, his title, and even his human form for Elphaba. Glinda clings to what the status quo gives her, while Fiyero ultimately rejects it.

Yes, the writing around Elphaba and Fiyero’s romance is a bit rushed and doesn’t have the same gradual development that Elphaba and Glinda have. And yes, I have no doubt heteronormativity played a role in giving Elphaba a male love interest in the end. But I see a lot of people write off Fiyero and his relationship with Elphaba and I just don’t agree.

Why does Elphaba end up with Fiyero instead of Glinda? Because Fiyero makes the sacrifices that Glinda wasn’t willing to.

If a character is wearing a mask, the moment of revelation where they take it off and show what they look like underneath - no matter what that is - is always sexy. This is because masks operate on lingerie principals. Teasing and revealing, Phantom of the Opera, etc.
