when creating glinda i fear that gregory maguire and stephen schwartz and winnie holzman were messing with forces that they didn't understand because they accidentally created a character who was biochemically designed to make internet lesbians go feral over her. like they took a conventionally attractive white woman and gave her a regina george mean girl streak that she uses to homoerotically bully her female roommate whom she secretly finds attractive. but then her love wins out and she decides to give her roomie a sexually charged makeover and elevate elphaba into social acceptance. and it's slowly revealed that actually she's a sad lonely little freak who just wants to be loved :((( but no one loves the real her :(((. and even though she fucks up a lot everything she does is cuz she loves this girl so so much and her love for this girl makes her not a horrible person. but by the end she's the most powerful woman in oz or an extremely wealthy, attractive widow. glinda upland is to lesbians as kylo ren and draco malfoy are to straight women. we need to kill her
