Wicked the novel vs. Wicked the musical (2/?) 

She seemed like a rare flower, her skin stemlike in its soft pearlescent sheen, the hat a botanical riot. “Oh Miss Elphaba,” said Galinda, “you terrible mean thing, you’re pretty.”

?who is elphaba thropp looking at like that? extremely hard challenge!!!!

[gelphienation]

never seen this angle before but Elphaba clenching her fists is major to me. Normal reaction to glinda imo

thinking ab glinda again

The sad thing is I don't think Glinda got to be herself after the events of the musical either. If anything she was even more trapped in her persona and even more emotionally repressed. With the Wizard and Morrible gone, she can act in a way that aligns more with her true beliefs and values, but she's still very much in the public eye and has to project a certain image of herself. In fact as the leader of Oz she's now not only having to act in a way that makes her likeable to the maximum amount of people, but she also has to make sure she's being perceived as competent and authoritative in her role. Especially when you consider that she's a woman in her early twenties and although we don't know that much about how the musical's Oz perceives women, we can assume based on Elphaba's two mentions of it that the 'dumb blonde' stereotype is one that exists and one that she's going to have to fight to be taken seriously. Under the Wizard all she had to do was 'raise people's spirits' and 'be encouraging,' now on top of that she has to convince everyone that she knows what she's doing - despite probably not even believing that herself.

She's also coming into this with a lot of baggage from the events of the musical. She's spent her entire adolescence and young adulthood up to this point putting on a persona rather than exploring who she is and what she wants, likely to the point where she doesn't even know what 'being herself' would mean. And then you have to bear in mind the last time she let her emotions get the better of her and lashed out, it led to Nessa being crushed by a house, Fiyero being beaten to death by the Gale Force and (albeit less directly) Elphaba being melted into a puddle. From her perspective, her getting angry and failing to repress that led to the deaths of three people, including her fiance and the only person she ever considered a real friend. What she's going to take from that is, because of her political and social position, she can't afford to show negative emotions publicly. And she's coming to this conclusion at a time when she's riddled with grief and guilt, so this can only end well/s.

After the musical I imagine she pours herself into her work until she either burns herself out or retires, at which point she realises she still has no idea who she is and no real friends.

[sakurabraches]

the thing about glinda in the wicked years is that gregory will write the most heart wrenching line about her that makes you stare off into the distance for a good ten minutes. "She had supposed, glumly, that she had meant to be a sort of living marble bust." "She was more wife than woman." "For the rest of Glinda's life, would everything look like spoiled food?" And then two pages later she'll be like "my favorite spell is the one i use to sign all my stationary at once" or she'll think about how the sexy female puppets are so much better than the sexy male puppets and you're like. oh right. we need to kill you
