listen i’m not a Glinda hater by any means and i really do understand her pov but some Glinda stan’s are purposely obtuse about Elphaba and Fiyero.

Glinda and Fiyero were never in love, they have a whole musical number about how they’re both physically perfect and therefore should be together, that relationship was surface level and shallow and while they definitely cared about eachother as friends Fiyero made it clear from his first appearance in act 2 that he was only a guard to find Elphaba and he tried to make Glinda leave with him to find her, and he was visibly upset about the engagement that was done without his say. people act like it came out of no where that Fiyero left with Elphaba but that was his goal the entire time.

another one i see is “why didn’t they try to bring her with them?” because she wouldn’t go with them and they already knew that. Elphaba tried and so had Fiyero, Glinda is at this point to scared to go against the status quo even for those she loves, she still believes in the wizard. yes i do feel sad for Glinda being abandoned but the thing is that’s what Glinda needed. the only version of Glinda who would even entertain leaving with them is one who’d already lost them.

Fiyero and Glinda are foils when it comes to their relationship with Elphaba. Fiyero cared for Glinda but he loves Elphaba, he believes in her and put her first and that’s the difference between them. Glinda cares for Fiyero and loves Elphaba but it takes her losing them to be able to put them first, Glinda is selfish and when we see her let Fiyero leave without a fight it is the first time she truly puts Elphaba before herself and her wants. it takes Elphaba and Fiyero “dying” to make her take action against the Wizard and Madame Morrible.

I’m convinced that if this movie wasn’t rated pg, we wouldn’t be far off getting that 🙃

To preface this I do see and appreciate the homoeroticism of Glinda and Elphaba’s relationship, but that being said, I’m noticing a phenomenon of people who’ve seen the movie but not the full show saying “Glinda and Elphie are obviously gay, and also Fiyero is lame and unnecessary.” For one thing, those opinions on Fiyero will likely change after Part 2 comes out because he is both important and awesome, but also? I really do love Glinda and her bond with Elphaba, but quite frankly I don’t think she deserves Elphie. Glinda’s biggest flaw is her cowardice (and even that isn’t fair, because she’s in a tough situation and her survival mode is to work within the system as best she can), and Act 2 proves she simply won’t take the same risks that Fiyero will for Elphie until it’s too late. Fiyero is brave and devoted to Elphie in ways Glinda isn’t (even when she wants to be). Glinda isn’t the one who sacrifices everything she’s ever known and nearly gets tortured to death to protect Elphaba. Not to mention that Elphaba’s fighting spirit and willingness to speak up are matched in Fiyero. AND the way the theme of finding not just worth but beauty in “unattractive” people comes full circle with Elphie and Fiyero. Just. End me now. They make me INSANE. It isn’t until after Elphaba’s apparent death that Glinda’s bravery really shines. The end of the show is basically Glinda acknowledging she should’ve done better and promising she WILL do better, she will be Glinda “The Good,” all thanks to what she’s learned from Elphaba. It’s kind of the point that Glinda wasn’t perfect for Elphie (and that’s okay, because their relationship was beautiful and profound anyway). I’m so excited to see movie fans experience this ride once Part 2 comes out.
