sometimes I'm like "what pertinent information are your parents not sharing with you people that it warrants many thousands note posts?"

but then I remember my partner was technically stateless for 16~ years and simply did not know this fact until applying for uni because their father 1 ??? simply for some reason didn't want(?) to get them their papers at birth(???) 2 didn't tell them they had no citizenship anywhere to any state until they started applying for government assistance for universities.

Idk why people who really hate Glinda - like hate her to the point of getting annoyed every time she speaks - are still in the Wicked fandom AND mainly focused on the movie. Like... she's the second most prominent character if you hate her so much why are you here?? I honestly don't get it. And if it's because you really vibe with Wicked as a concept despite that then why not read the book instead, where she's a much less prominent character? (obviously there's a lot more differences between the book and the movie than just how prominent Glinda is, but I feel like if I had this opinion I would at least try reading it)

And even if you tried reading the book and didn't like it because it was too different or too dark or whatever, she's even slightly less prominent in the musical (e.g. no flashback, no GITB, she's not in Wonderful), so why would you stick with the adaptation that most heavily features the character you hate when there are two other options??

ok i wasn't aware people actually got mad about the cat thing i thought it was clear they were joking what do you MEAN someone used it as an example of "they're such men this is why i don't like them" ????

In that wish list contract it mentioned that her successors would also be allowed to use the content. (Second to last pic in that post of yours). English isn't my native language, but doesn't that mean that if she has children and grand-children those would also be allowed to do whatever they want with the people's content? That would be insane. Even more insane than the whole thing already is.

That's how I understand it too. Or whoever she'd choose to be her heir.

The whole thing is insane. Especially coming from, I-lost-my-lifework-because-I-signed-something-Swift. Guess when it doesn't affect her, it (as always) doesn't matter.

in black trailer, blake and adam board a SDC train carrying dust to set charges and blow the cargo up.

blake's first appearance in the show proper is her calling out the SDC for its "controversial labor forces and questionable business partners".

adam was a child slave in a SDC dust mine, and was branded with the company logo.

ilia's parents worked in a dust mine heavily implied to have belonged to the SDC, and lost their lives in an explosion caused by an agitated dust and a simple mistake of *checks notes* tripping.

listed like this, you start to see a pattern, and it makes me wonder why the writers ever thought that they should do a racism plot line (that they clearly weren't prepared or apparently even willing to do properly), when they could have simply focused on the dust companies being pieces of shits still using slave labor and destroying the environment in a rush to make profit (e.g. vacuo, but could be expanded further), with the white fang being the organization protesting these companies, unveiling their questionable practices, and disrupting their operations and so on.

all these dust companies (if you don't want to solely focus on the SDC, that is) could also have their own security forces—and even corrupt hunters working for them—to act as antagonists, as people for the protagonists to fight if required.

it would also tie blake's and weiss' story lines neatly together, with one simple goal: get jacques schnee out of the CEO chair as quickly as possible.

I saw this book was challenged at a public library for the most absurd reason I've ever heard so I checked it out from my library. I'm really glad I did because A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger was a really fun and interesting story.
