Okay so I don’t usually post about Boq. But I fear people gotta cut the man some SLACK. Like, he has every right to hate Elphaba. Well, every right in the sense of what he knows to be true. This is his life:
> Be a lowly Munchkinlander
> Your popular crush tells you to go date a girl
> You do. You feel bad, but hurting her would feel worse.
> The girl you’re dating has a magical green sister. She’s the favorite student of a well esteemed sorceress in the same social circles as your monarch
> The magical green sister is publicly declared a terrorist by the sorcerers. This is backed up by the now flying monkeys. It’s also backed up by your popular crush agreeing that she’s Wicked
> The sister you’re dating becomes a dictator to your land. You are her personal slave
> You finally get a chance to escape (or what you perceived as one), try to
> Oh ouchie my heart *pass out*
> Wakes up a microwave
> Is told it was magical terrorist sister
AND THEN, if we’re including TWOO infrences
> You make friends with a little girl running from the terrorist who has the dictators shoes
> She is kidnapped by terrorist
Like of COURSE my man is gonna start March of the Witch Hunters. It’s a shame, but in all of Act 2, Boq is through and through a victim of manipulation. Hate him in Act 1 all you want, but Act 2 ain’t his fault
