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.

the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!

this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).

pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.

genuinely put my whole fucking fist in my mouth when baran al hashimi showed up in that fucking tank top. and then cassie mckay in that fucking tank top. baran's mane of gorgeous curls. cassie's arm around victoria's shoulders. meltos scene. the fucking song choice. is she perverted like me? trinity TAKING DOWN MEL'S BRAID. this episode was for the lesbians oh my fucking god

isa briones is such a good actor because that writers room really put a filipina in front of a karaoke machine and she made The Thespian's Choice to not sing her fucking ass off in that end credits scene. she could've lit that bar up and shown them a real fireworks show with a high note that would've sent Mel's glasses flying to the opposite side of the bar. instead, Isa chose restraint. demureness. she chose the subtle artistry of a slightly off-key shout-sing duet. sure, it stretched a bit of the believability because, again, filipina, karaoke, etc etc but we respect a bold and inspired dramatic choice.

I’m choosing to see this as robby watching whitaker get everything he’s ever wanted and also robby wishing he could be in the passenger seat listening to funk with baby jane doe in the back and whitaker driving them home.

it KILLS me how well whitaker fits into robby’s married, rural property, bundles of joy idea of happiness. already looking at him like he hung the sun and stars too smfh. YOURE HALFWAY THERE OLD MAN KEEP GOING

oh... my beloved husband (Ao3)... off to war (downtime), he marched, leaving me in my lonesome woes, yet my heart knows he shall return...

but hark! is that he, beyond the waves? is it him i see? (it came back up)

...did that bitch just turn his ship around, tf bro? (went back down)

Somehow during the 15 minute window that A03 was up I felt like a soldier in a war movie when every thing goes eerily silent as the smoke starts clearing…cautiously gathering my gear, my gun, my downloaded stories, and delicately making my way out of the foxhole only to be shot down by a system down page in a uniform to big for its body…
