i was wondering about how it was possible that sally never saw the bruises that gabe surely left on percy and didn’t realize anything because he had to have left lots of bruises, and i think i finally figured it out: he would take showers.

“melody what are you going on about?” you probably ask.

he didn’t like that gave hit him cuz he was left to sit with his body and feel icky knowing gabe’s hands had been on him so he would go take a shower. water heals him. but he would have questions (obvi) so the mist comes into play. everyone (percy included) see the bruises but sally is clear-sighted. the mist doesn’t work on her. she sees nothing on his body.

and thus she never finds out (until they inevitably have a conversation abt it and they realize. cuz if you think percy wasn’t talking to sally abt all that troubled him (in the mortal sense), ur mistaken. sure he would keep it from her but never for long periods of time. they’re like rory and lorelei (s1-s2). they can never seem to keep anything from each other!!!)

[justaz]

percy’s neighborhood friends who know him as a good kid who always ends up in trouble and ms sally as a good, kind woman and gabe as a bum whose screaming and yelling echoes out of their apartment at all hours, hearing that percy and sally suddenly went missing and gabe’s car was found crashed and burned to the point of not being able to detect blood or anything inside it in long island when they were supposed to be in montauk but they couldn’t find any bodies, watching as gabe does tv interviews playing the victim like he’s genuinely upset about the whole thing. the neighborhood thinking gabe drove them out to the middle of nowhere and killed them before destroying the evidence

[lupusbaby]

Some people don’t want to hear this but sometimes accessibility is not sustainable or eco-friendly. Disabled people sometimes need straws, or pre-made meals in plastic containers, or single-use items. Just because you can work with your foods in their least processed and packaged form doesn’t mean everyone else can.

[slut-and-falcon]

Thinking about my headcannon that Elphaba doesn’t know how to properly tie shoes (and/or stays if she wears them)

No one taught her growing up so she just tied the laces in a knot and slipped her shoes/boots on and off. Nessa wore slip on type shoes all the time (often heels) since they were easier to take on and off while in her chair.

So when Elphaba is on the run and Fiyero joins her, and one day he is helping her take her boots off after she sprains her ankle (and thus can’t slide the shoes off) and can’t get the knot undone. The following convo leads to Elphaba getting pissed off and cranky and explaining how no one taught her so that is how she’s been tying her shoes her whole life.

This is one of the events that lets Fiyero truly understand how different their upbringings were, and it humbles him. He also knows better than to offer to teach her in the moment, so instead he used a quill to undo the knot. Later he’ll show her how to tie laces by simply doing it slowly in front of her without saying anything, knowing she’ll watch and remember the steps so she can practice on her own later.

[slut-and-falcon]

Still love this idea

[slut-and-falcon]

Wicked Booksical HC:

Elphaba was never taught how to ride a bike because Nessa couldn’t. And why would Elphaba be given the opportunity todo something that Nessa wouldn’t be able to do?

So she never learned how to ride a bike. Later on, this is discovered by Glinda and Fiyero, and they make it their mission to teach her. Elphaba was resistant, partly out embarrassment, but also because she couldn’t justify doing something for fun that Nessa couldn’t do (trauma response). But Glinda’s and Fiyero’s puppy-dog eyes convince her to try under the agreement that Boq distract Nessa; Elphaba didn’t want her sister to feel bad about not being able to use a bike. Cue a very wobbly Elphaba attempting to ride a bike at Shiz with Fiyero and Glinda helping/cheering her on.

And ofc Fiyero’s bike was too talk for her, so she had to use Glinda’s pink cruiser with a basket and flowers on the front.

[slut-and-falcon]

Still a fav headcannon of mine. Drafting out the fanfic now!

[slut-and-falcon]

I wonder what happened to the wheelchair Nessa uses in the Wicked Pt 1 movie?? Because I want a wheelchair that pretty!

[slut-and-falcon]

Read some of your booksical posts for wicked and part of me wants to actually read the book when I can and then write a crossover fanfic in which movie Fiyero and Elphaba meet their book counterparts because I think it would be funny (let book Fiyero bully movie Fiyero for being white all I’m saying 😭)

I loved the book- though it is very weird lol. It’s a very queer, dark, satirical look at Oz. It’s totally worth the read, but the characters are very different. In the book, Fiyero is like the total opposite of his musical self.

What’s more likely to happen is that Crope and Tibbet (book only characters) would make fun of Movie!Fiyero for being white, and then they’d flirt until they end up having a threesome 💀

[sovamurka]

At this point I judge Fiyeros in ANY production by how they deliver "Dancing Through Life". This song is meant to sound cheerful, careless and positive. BUT. The one who sings it is depressed and sees himself as shallow, undeserving and useless. It should sound like the character in question hides it under his party persona, like he's on the edge but still smiling (especially in higher parts). Because that's exactly what Elphaba sees through, that's exactly why they form an unexpected bond and that's exactly when we get a small glimpse into Fiyero's head.

[mollrat101]

I just saw the movie and now I finally get it.

When all the other students are just dancing to Fiyero's fun seeming song, Elphaba is actually listening to what he's singing and that's why she clocks him as being unhappy.

And everyone falls over themselves when he arrives, mesmerized by his beauty but the unfortunate implication is that no one seems to actually listen to him because people are so dazzled by his appearance.

He and Elphaba have equal but opposite problems. Their appearances cause people to judge them and make them feel unseen and unheard. And it depresses them but they find ways to get through it. Elphaba just doubles down on being herself because nothing she does will improve her standing anyway. Fiyero doubles down on the empty-headed party boy persona that people expect of him anyway.

That's why the forest is their safe haven, where they can be away from society and be themselves.

[hamletthedane]

On one hand I’m so glad they split wicked into two parts and let the characters and plot breath a little more. It was definitely a good decision for Part 1/Act 1.

On the other, Act 2 of Wicked is a fucking WILD story with the craziest tonal whiplash imaginable. A 3hr film version of it sounds truly INSANE

[a-person-on-the-internet]

My theater had small children in it and played trailers for movies like moana 2.

The second movie is going to have two counts of violent body horror/mutilation, a main character literally getting beaten to death by the police, even MORE political violence and racism allegories, kinky sex (of both the human and animal variety), and like 80% of the cast fuckin dies (though some of them get better).

I have NEVER been more excited to see a movie in theaters in my life.

10 World-Building Aspects You Probably Overlooked

When crafting a fictional world, it's easy to focus on the big picture—epic battles, grand landscapes, and memorable characters. However, it’s also important to flesh out your world-building to create a ‘real’ world. Some aspects to consider when world-building are: 

1. Local Cuisine

Consider the types of food your characters eat and how it reflects their culture, geography, and economy. Unique dishes can reveal societal values and local ingredients.

2. Currency & Trade

Explore the forms of currency used and the trade systems in place. This can include bartering, precious metals, or unique items as currency, influencing economic interactions.

3. Timekeeping Practices

Different cultures may have their own methods for measuring time, whether it's a unique calendar system, seasons, or celestial events, affecting daily life and traditions.

4. Cultural Taboos

Consider the unspoken rules and taboos that govern behavior in your world. These can drive conflict and character motivations, adding depth to societal interactions.

5. Local Flora and Fauna

Unique plants and animals can shape the environment and influence the culture, whether through medicine, food sources, or as part of local mythology.

6. Rituals and Festivals

Incorporate unique rituals or festivals that celebrate historical events, seasonal changes, or important life milestones, providing insight into cultural values and traditions.

7. Language Nuances

Explore dialects, slang, or even the use of sign language that reflects the culture and social dynamics, enriching dialogue and interactions between characters.

8. Architecture and Housing Styles

The design and materials of buildings can reflect climate, resources, and cultural values. Unique architectural features can tell a story about the society that built them.

9. Social Hierarchies and Classes

Examine how social structures affect character relationships and interactions. Class distinctions can influence everything from daily life to political power.

10. Environmental Impact

Consider how the natural environment shapes societal behaviours, resource usage, and conflicts. Climate and geography can drive migration patterns and societal development.

Wicked Fiyeraba Headcannons:

-Fiyero def sits on Elphaba’s lap

- they call each other Yero and Fae; after the Wicked Witch persona dies, they only go by Yero and Fae so less people will be able to tie them to the dead witch and the missing prince.

- one of Fiyero’s favorite activities is to have Elphaba read to him. He finds it very relaxing, and informative. (Fiyero has dyslexia and that why he doesn’t like reading himself- but dyslexia isn’t a diagnosis in Oz, it hasn’t been recogized)

- they take care of young orphaned Animals, and Fiyero got Elphaba an egg apron so she could put all the kittens/small Animals in the pockets while she was caretaking

- Fiyero likes to draw…he draws a lot of Elphaba (and the Animals, but mostly Elphaba)

- Fiyero likes to purchase Vinkun silk scarves for Elphaba. She uses some for practical embellments in her clothing- like as a belt, shawl or hair covering. Others she keeps as house clothes- like as a night shawl. There’s one though- black with red roses- that is only used during intimacy with Fiyero.

- Elphaba and Fiyero have really complex feelings about Glinda…she was Elphaba’s close and only friend for a while, but Fiyero helped Elphaba realize that Glinda treated her like crap (this is apart from not making the sacrifices to leave with Elphaba). Elphaba also had some romantic feelings towards Glinda, and does not know what to do with those feelings. Fiyero loved Glinda, but wasn’t in love with her. He is highly aware of her faults, but still misses her and feels bad for what happened. Both realize that Glinda was manipulated by the Wizard and Madam Morrible, but both also realize that only Glinda is responsible for Glinda’s actions. And can they forgive her for being an anti-Animal/Anti-Witch propaganda machine? For helping in orchestrating Nessa’s death, and creating a trap for Elphaba? They don’t know. Together, Elphaba and Fiyero write letters to Glinda that are then burned before being sent, allowing them to work through all of these feelings and trauma they have in relation to Glinda.

- Fiyero’s favorite thing todo to annoy Elphaba is to use her butt as a pillow. Elphaba hates it (but will tolerate it) and Fiyero loves it.

-Elphaba is very passionate about a lot of stuff, and has a habit of information dumping, even when it’s considered rude. Fiyero likes it, but has felt the need to coach Elphaba for when the time is appropriate to do so, after she accidentally offended Fiyero’s mother.

- Fiyero and Elphaba do the whole “3 taps means I Love You” thing

-Fiyero likes to comb/take care of Elphaba’s hair

- Fiyero is an addict, he got addicted to a ❄️-like ozian drug while in his rebellion/coping-with-being-royalty phase. He hasn’t always been completely honest with Elphaba about it, but he got clean when he joined the Gale Force. He still had carvings, especially with his chronic pain and stress, and he tries to be as honest as possible with Elphaba about his cravings. They both use 🍃 to deal with chronic pain and stress though, but in moderate amounts.

- After being tortured by the Gale Force- Fiyero develops Narceolpsey. It’s a learning curve for both him and Elphaba.

-Elphaba offered Fiyero an open relationship (not because she wanted one but because she thought he would be unhappy with just her, and the novelty would wear off). Fiyero refused (while he had been poly in the past, he refused because he knew Elphaba’s reasonings were based in her feeling inadequate and self conscious).

Hmm I’ll think of more

[slut-and-falcon]

More Wicked Headcannons (bookiscal canon)

- Elphaba isn’t a women but doesn’t have the language to identify her gender.

-the tribes of the Vinkus (Winkie country) have their own magic, as do the Quadlings. While Elphaba is out and about helping the resistance and animal refugees, she is also learning this magic with those whom are willing to share (some magic is closed to outsiders). She learns the different approaches and theories about magic, and it helps make her a more powerful witch.

-there was already a resistance against the Wizard when Elphaba becomes the face of it. While on the run, she is quickly intercepted by members of the resistance forces, brought to their leadership and everyone starts working collaboratively.

-Elphaba’s family tree is as such:

Oscar Diggs + Melena Thropp= Elphaba

Turtle Heart + Melena Thropp=Nessarose

Frexpar Thropp +Melena Thropp = Shell

A Quadling + Gilkeneese Munchkin=Melena Thropp

So Elphaba has kin ties to all parts of Oz- the north, east, south, and west!

-Shell grows up and becomes part of the resistance, he’s gay and has a great partner who is Vinkin. They live on the western boarder of Oz in an Animal town, and help Animals cross the impassable desert. Elphaba also passes on any orphaned Animals she has in to them if another Animal is not available to raise the orphan(s), so they run a pseudo Animal foster home. They also take in human children if there is a need.

-Elphaba loves politics, and when she is introduced to Fiyero’s father (the King of the Vinkus), they butt heads at first. However, Fiyero’s father eventually sees Elphaba as an equal, and as a strong ally. He also loves to get into political discussions with her, and playing chess with her.

-the Vinkus royal family are Animal sympathizers, but also recognized the Wizard’s plan for total control over Oz. They couldn’t afford a full out civil war, so they contributed heavily to the resistance in secret.

- the resistance in the Emerald City is majority made up of displaced women from Quadling territory, whom are forced to participate in sex work to survive. They end up using sex work as a cover for communicating, blackmailing the Wizard’s supporters, and for getting Animals safely out of the City. Elphaba, for a short time, was one of these sex workers, posing as both the sex worker, and as clientele to pass along information, share supplies and resources, and to extort Wizard supporters.

- Elphaba also poses as a maunt (a nun) to hide from the Wizard’s Gale Force, and to pass along resistance information and resources.

-Fiyero will and does sit on Elphaba’s lap

- once they are forced to leave Oz, Elphaba and Fiyero don’t truely leave Oz, they go live with Shell snd his partner, taking care of the Animals and children. The Vinkus royal family know their location, so that they can send warnings ahead if needed.

- Elphaba, with the help of various other magical folk around Oz, change Fiyero back to human, but can’t reverse the damage done by the Gale Force. They nurse him back to a relativity non-dying state, but he was hurt really badly by the Gale Force. They are able to stabilize his spine enough with magic and physical therapy that he is mobile, though he deals with severe chronic pain. He refuses all pain medication, citing a need to be of clear head in case the worse should happen. He’s also afraid of getting addicted.

-Elphaba doesn’t like getting her hair cut…the longest it ever was, it was down to the backs of her knees.

World building Headcannons:

-the Vinkus has many different climates. In the colder, more norther climates, mammoths roam. There are no Mammoths, and no one knows why. In same region, Dogs work together in teams to transport materials, people, other Animals, etc to places on sleds. Each year they have a Dog only race from Ugabu to the Lesser Kells.

- in Quadling country, there were rubies in the rivers-causing the water to look reddish. Now there are so many Quadling bodies mass dumped in the rivers due to the Wizard’s genocide of them, that the river flows red due to the blood. The surviving Quadlings were those whom were mixed raced, forced to assimilate into other parts of Oz. The rubies were dipped into green dye, and were used to build the Emerald City.

- there are parts of Munchkinland where the people dress extremely modestly- including face and hair coverings. This is where Elphaba gets the idea/fashion inspiration to hide her face (and skin)

- guns are strictly limited in Oz, per the Wizard’s orders. He saw what the American second amendment argued for and didn’t want the public to have such power to form militias.

- Princess Ozma is still alive, but kept prisoner by the Wizard. She is kept in a guarded, but empty Quadling government building in Qhoyre. The building is overgrown with jungle foliage, and is made from clay and clam shells and rubies from the rivers; it’s a beautiful prison.

- pirates sail the Restwater and Kellswater Great Lakes

Hmmm that’s all for now!

[lillifaba]

Do you guys think when Fiyero told Elphaba he ate grass as a child, he was saying that to make light out of the awkward situation they were in or did he actually eat grass because honestly I can believe both.

[slut-and-falcon]

One of the comments says “his best friend is a horse, ofc he ate grass as a child” 💀

[blue-dissolve]

No Wizard That There is or was.

[ichiwashername-o]

Kids say the darnedest things~

In the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie, we've seen Scarecrow getting torn up and patched back together, no big deal, right? And I've read plenty of fanfics where Scarecrow/Fiyero does some basic maintenance of having to patch himself back up, usually very gradually over time.

So, like, how does that all work? What does being a magically enchanted scarecrow entail? How much of him can be removed/replaced and it will still be him? How much of his original body, if any, needs to be present for his consciousness to transfer over???

Please point on the magic scarecrow where the sentience is located.

These are questions that are never meant to be thought about very hard, yet think about them very hard I shall.

And now so shall Fiyero, the poor bastard.

[ichiwashername-o]

Do you think Scarecrow had an innate fear of fire, or do you think there was a learning curve there?

The obvious answer is whatever is the funniest.

An important lesson was learned today.

In honor of our very first sneak peek of the movie Wicked, my nostalgia kicked into high gear and I'm honoring one of my earliest fandom crazes with a silly little comic I'm calling "Fiyero Doesn't Get Enough Recognition For All The Shit He's Been Through."

Enjoy Fiyero having the weirdest 72 hours of his life.

And here he meets the Lion.
