Glinda hit Elphie with her fan and she liked it

30+ she/her || I don't know how to use tumblr || also gelphie possessed my brain

do you ever think about how glinda in the books is like "oh well, so he died" about her husband's death, but has a mental breakdown whenever someone mentions her elphie or reminds her of her? or how she keeps dreaming of her some 40 years later still and never stops waiting for her to come back?

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!

She put her face against Glinda’s and kissed her. “Hold out, if you can,” she murmured, and kissed her again. “Hold out, my sweet.”

the funny thing about wicked: for good is that the writers specifically didn't pull anything new from maguire's novel because the musical was already so different (besides name-dropping the gale force), yet somehow jon m chu and team has managed to stumble their way back into gregory's vision. ariana's glinda is more explicitly putting on a facade to hide the fact that she's Weird and Gay™ than her musical counterpart. chu says glinda and elphaba represent the O and the Z in oz respectively, which is ofc a reference to that moment in out of oz where rain and friends are looking at the grimmerie see a figure imprisoned in a snow globe; the first guesses to who this figure is are glinda and elphaba. chu's talking about how gelphie need to grant each other salvation and describing the door scene as a vision from god is of course a return to the religiosity of book gelphie's relationship, and how they both at varying points view the other as a saint like figure who can offer them salvation

so jon m chu said that he included this shot as a reference to thelma and louise but in thelma and louise the two female leads kiss and decide they would rather drive off a cliff and die together than surrender to a patriarchal, oppressive system. and in wicked for good glinda gets shoved in a closet and elphaba runs off with a man. so in conclusion OIHREAWKFNDVINGERAJOOAGRERGOISGRINSRGJK3IOHWRVDFJ

i get book glinda because if she scooped me up in her arms i would also start purring

[sakurabraches]

it's really funny that gelphie is the most doomed ship of all time but also fake doomed yuri. in like every universe. cuz i'm sorry there's just nothing preventing movie/musical elphaba from coming back for glinda in some years time. like she could just do that at anytime. and given elphaba's poor impulse control and inability to stay away from that blonde thing, it's honestly highly likely they'll reunite at some point. and in the books elphaba straight up dies and her and glinda still reunite at the end. not even in an afterlife way like elphaba straight up comes back from the dead to get glinda and hag out together

i may have relapsed

Kudos to whoever runs the Peacock social media pages. This legit looks like a Gelphie fanvid.

at first i was like, haha the boy gets one line across two movies in this trailer. good. the story is about the girls.

but also... there's something about the queerbait-y quality of marketing like this that gives me the ick a little. if i knew absolutely nothing about wicked and saw this trailer, i'd 100% assume elphaba and glinda were a romance and going to end up together.

and this is kinda frustrating because scenes between women can be shot, edited, scored and marketed with all the language of romance, and people will still bend over backwards to call it friendship. but the second a man enters the picture, that's treated as the "real" romantic plot by default. like, if this exact trailer were about a man and a woman, nobody would be calling it friendship.

anyway. very normal trailer.

"who's the biggest lesbian in all of fictional history?"

may i present to you a woman that almost passed out as the image of heterosexual sex was forced onto her, fell into her "friend's" arms and wanted to start purring just looking at her face, and then only goes back to normal after elphaba tells her she loves her.
