She was about 15 feet away from the nearest cop, and one of them shot her. She couldn't have possibly been a threat in any way.
Also, how many cops do you see here? I see around 15 cops. And how many of them did anything to stop the atrocious act of violence they saw? Exactly zero.
The cop who shot this woman confidently assumed that all 15 cops around them are absolute monsters. And yet again, they were correct.
There are zero good cops. Bad cops know that. Bad cops brag about how confidently they know that. When will bootlickers learn that?
Seriously, if you believe that good cops exist, explain to me how this is possible. Now's your chance.
I’m sorry but there is nothing more aggressively New York than that guy climbing over the rail to get to the subway faster while ignoring megafauna pizza rat
i have like a deep primal need to undoom gelphie and imagine them happy and together but also i despise the idea of fundamentally altering wicked's ending because wicked is a tragedy and it needs to maintain that structure im sorry
See now, twenty years ago, before I really knew what fandom and anime were, little theatre kid Tori was sitting in the green room, listening to the older kids talk about Wicked. They played the soundtrack while we were getting ready, and I immediately fell in love.
I'd never heard a lead actress with a lower voice like Idina’s before. I was only twelve or so, not a lot of media experience. I had a lower voice too, even then, and damn if that didn't inspire me.
Not only that, but I later learned (maybe through the primitive internet, l'm not sure) that Idina even kind of looked like me and - this was the early 2000s where everyone seemed to be blond and blue eyed and designed for the male gaze - I felt so seen😭
I saw the show three times over the next few years - a very lucky accomplishment. This was after Idina left the role, but I had my own copy of the soundtrack then and played it over and over again🥹
Then I drifted towards anime and entered my prime weeb years, but Wicked remained a core part of who I was and I would mention it whenever the Wizard of Oz popped up in conversation.
I longed for a movie SO badly. Partly so I could watch it whenever I wanted but also so people would finally know what I was talking about.
leven checked the internet a few times over the last two decades, hoping for some news of a future film.
Now we're going to have two😭😭two amazing, eye catching and vocally magnificent movies and I'm so thankful I'm still a giant kid at heart, and honestly, I'm glad I'm still young. I would've gone no matter what age, but twenty years doesn't feel so long ago sometimes at 30.
I still remember the excitement, the memories.
I still feel like a kid inside.
I'm glad I can enjoy and celebrate these movies with the rest of the world! At long last!
Oh, little Tori would be so happy💚🩷
It's just kinda funny that I forgot how much | loved Wicked and what an impression it made on me until the first film's trailer dropped😂there are some things youforget, even as young as 33. I suppose when something seeps so deeply into your being, you kind of accept it's just a part of you after a while and keep moving forward.
Man, it's nice to stand still for a bit and remember! That Pandora’s Box is wide open now 😂🙌
Also representation absolutely matters and I am so happy Cynthia gets to be the Elphaba for a generation of kids who want to feel seen and inspired like I did back then💚
never in my life have I seen anyone this down bad. this girl is writing shitty lesbian poetry while staring wistfully out the window hoping for a glimpse of Elphie and then crying herself to sleep. every night. she INVENTED sapphic yearning and I will not be taking questions at this time
I started my first large scale gelphie fic a week ago, I’ve written a prologue and I’m working on plotting everything out. Would anybody want to hear my ideas and lmk what their thoughts are?
