heated rivalry is like a job to me like i wake up i think about shane and ilya, i go to sleep, i think about shane and ilya, i go to work, i cut pictures of shane and ilya out of cardstock for our heated rivalry event (this is a real thing that happened and it wasn't even my idea) like really there's no escape from them

[yasworlds]

i caught a cold this week and got 2 nosebleeds, these experiences have made me resonate more deeply with my close and personal friends stebbins and art baker

[yasworlds]

i had a heated rivalry watch party last night with heated rivalry cookies and everything. this is what community really looks like, life is good

Merlin is actually Glinda, considering how he decided to stay in Camelot, work for it in hope that someday things will get better. Morgana is Elphaba that took the next step. She is even king's secret daughter just like Elphaba is Wizard's.

i definitely do see that pov i was moreso thinking of like the parallels of merlin's grief over losing arthur and elphaba's grief over losing fiyero as these breaking points

and like whole 'no good deed will i attempt to fo again' message tying back to merlin's interpretation that his initial decision to let mordred live, not killing morgana that these things led to arthur's death (i think the actual situation is more nuanced than that, but this how i think merlin sees it)

the main reason i resist the glinda comparison is cause we never see any proof that glinda is working to make things better from the inside or hopes to and isn't directly being oppressed by the system she's upholding. merlin is similarly complacent and his morals and motivations become really skewed over time, but he does actively suffer for it because every moment that magic is banned in camelot is a moment when he could be discovered and killed.

with morgana the elphaba parallels are more pronounced especially in their personalities and overall arcs. morgana in earlier seasons is really outspoken constantly speaking out about injustices like elphaba even when no one is taking her seriously.

they both have evil fathers, but morgana's situation is more complex because uther did seem to show some favoritism towards her while also treating her horribly whenever she stepped out of line.

a key difference in their arcs is the fact that elphaba leaves because she can't be complacent and wants to help the Animals but also she wants acknowledgement from the people of Oz because this is her home. this eventually sours with the whole nessa, dying thing and everything else that happened and she realizes that she's failed to make any change and it's only cost her things. Even then her main drastic actions are attacking dorothy so she could het the only thing she has left from her sister back.

morgana is being manipulated by morgause, and feels a lot of betrayal from the people she trusted, merlin, arthur, even gwen. she's hurt and wants revenge and that is mixed in with her season 1 and 2 motivations of helping people but it then overall becomes overshadowed by rage and she just starts hurting people. she gets a lot done even takes over camelot a bunch but the main issue is she's forgotten her original motivations to help people. (i could write a whole essay on morgana's character like she's so complex and her arc is so tragic)

overall i think both merlin and morgana parallel elphaba which makes sense because they are character foils but i do think morgana's parallels with elphaba are more prominent in an overarching way

i was listening to no good deed and i feel like it would definitely work as a merlin crash out song post camlann and arthur's death

also i feel like merlin and elphaba are kindred spirts in a way and would be good friends

[yasworlds]

reading tlw script just like adding to much depth to the characters especially the one's we don't really see much of in the film

art knowing olson was married

the pearson scenes

pete and collie brotp

zuck scenes

and just the gavries of it all, like them constantly having moments together, the "he thinks we're queer for each other" scene, all of the other tiny moments that we should've gotten in the movie

there needs to be like 100 more college au fanfics now!

[yasworlds]

my close and personal friend pete mcvries is a darling angel and practically a disney princess, never forget what they took from us

[yasworlds]

I was so excited to hear an actual professional recording of The Wicked Witch of the East and it doesn't have my favorite part

I hope it's in the actual movie though

[yasworlds]

i'm so obsessed with the next to normal proshot like it's so good

i need to know more songs that have a similar vibe to wish i were here because I can't get the song out of my head

my jayvik sims have a beautiful life together they're besties, soulmates, and married and they have the same job with the same hours so they're never apart

[yasworlds]

jayce: i couldn't figure out how to undoom him from the narrative so I doomed myself with him

[yasworlds]

viktor, my beloved i listened to the voices and drew him (this is gonna be part of a larger jayvik piece)

[yasworlds]

this jayvik obsession is getting out of hand i just made a playlist about them and all my free time is spend watching edits or reading pics about them

and now i have the sudden urge to draw them like wth is happening

[cryiling]

"stay your pretty eyes on course" is such an underrated line in the jayvik song from the soundtrack like why is no one talking about it

[yasworlds]

this is actually au viktor telling jayce to lock in because he's seconds away from folding everytime he hears his viktor's voice

[420technoblazeit]

they didn't kiss but their destinies are intertwined forever. they didn't kiss but in every universe they find each other and only jayce can make viktor understand his faults. they didnt kiss but jayce doomed viktor to his fate as the machine herald and then saved him. they didn't kiss but their love literally saved the world

[yasworlds]

i feel like jayce has reached such levels of pathetic loserness that i feel so bad and need to root for him

he tripped and fell while running away causing his hammer to fall on his leg and break it then he fell off a cliff and knocked himself out

like that's so silly i love him
