thinking abt a scott pilgrim wicked au…

did anyone ask for this? no! but you’re getting it anyway <3

OKAY SO

first of all it’s up to you whether you wanna interpret it as the scott pilgrim cast just being in a production of wicked or them actually literally being in oz in place of the wicked cast

so initially one of my first ideas was envy as glinda & ramona as elphie. but then i got to thinking…is ramona an elphaba?

i thought about it a little longer, and i eventually came to the conclusion that ramona is ultimately more of a glinda. sure, she doesn’t exactly fit the aesthetic, but like glinda she’s heavily idealized by everyone, has a tendency to run from her problems, and doesn’t always realize how much of an impact her actions have on others until it’s too late.

and if ramona is glinda, then there’s an obvious choice for her elphaba…it’s roxie. you all saw this coming. “wicked witch” vs “evil ex,” the fact that they were literally college roommates, the doomed yuri, the BETRAYAL…it’s too perfect.

(kim as an understudy perhaps? like elphie she’s kinda deadpan & cold on the outside as a way to protect herself but is still genuinely kind once you get to know her)

(lowkey matthew in drag with the demon hipster chicks as the flying monkeys would kinda eat but THIS AIN’T ABOUT HIM)

now lies the question of who to cast as fiyero. spoiler alert, it’s not gonna be scott (we’ll get to him later). matthew would BODY that role bc he’s a theatre kid, but whoever gets cast as him is being paired with roxie and there’s no WAY her lesbian ass is doing as long as you’re mine with a dude so it’s gotta be gender-flipped.

a lot of people would probably suggest kim, but kim’s not really much of a fiyero type (and hollie’s kind of a nothingburger i’m sorry). out of the girls, i’d say the closest to him is probably gonna be (and if you knew me you probs also saw THIS coming) envy. not just to fulfill my self-indulgent rarepair agenda, but also bc envy is someone who can easily be perceived as shallow, superficial, and kinda mean, but is a lot more introspective than she looks.

scott and knives are respectively boq and nessa. like their wicked counterparts, knives is hopelessly in love with scott but scott never truly loved her, he only rlly went out with her bc she happened to be standing there; in reality he only has eyes for ramona. also i love the idea of roxie being knives’s ninja big sister post-canon

gideon is the wizard because obviously, while julie is madame morrible (all i’ll say is this makes more sense if you’ve seen the anime).

stacey & wallace are shenshen & pfannee which actually works even BETTER if ramona is glinda

stephen is the cowardly lion, dorothy is lisa miller bc she shows up in the source material but is only referenced in the adaptations. idk who dr. dillamond would be but we’ll figure that out
