just saw a fanfic on ao3 have a dedication for chatgpt... that section is meant for your horny perverted mutual who proofread your work, you violated sacred law and you will be torn apart and laid bare btw
I could make a serious Wicked review and talk about the vocals and the choreography and the costumes and the sets, which are all great, but this is tumblr, and I know that all of these aspects will not matter nearly as much as me reviewing the movie by how much gay subtext they put into it, so that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Elphaba and Glinda are either holding hands or have their arms linked for about 70% of this movie. Literally, after they officially become friends these girls are attached at the hip.
'What Is This Feeling?' remains about as gay as it usually is, but I will highlight that they lie awake at night thinking about each other which. I know what you are etc etc
The scene where they dance together is. I have no words. That was beautiful. Both actresses put so much emotion into the sequence. And there's a moment where Glinda puts her hand on Elphaba's face, almost like she's brushing away the tears there, and that shit made me cry as well.
'Popular' is insanely homosexual. There's a scene where they're laying down on the bed looking into each other's eyes, and Glinda shifts to basically be on top of Elphaba. My jaw was on the floor. Just lots of touching and Looks all throughout.
When they go to see the Wizard all that casual touching I mentioned previously is multiplied by tenfold, and there are several moments where Elphaba looks at Glinda for reassurance, which was very sweet.
'Defying Gravity' made me just as emotional as I knew it would. I do wish they had hugged but honestly with all the handholding and the staring into each other's eyes, and Glinda wrapping the cloak around Elphaba, they gave us plenty. Once again the acting caught me by surprise (specially from Ariana), both of them communicate so much with just looks.
Anyway my overall thoughts are, these bitches gay, good for them. They did not tone down the subtext at all (like I know some people were worried would happen), and while they didn't make anything explicit either (which I never expected them to*), I'm confident that both Cynthia and Ariana understood the assignment in regards to the kind of relationship Glinda and Elphaba have in canon, and that was enough for me.
*I will admit that a secret corner of my little lesbian heart hoped beyond hope that they would include the scene from the book where Elphaba canonically kisses Glinda (iirc it's supposed to be during Defying Gravity), but like, I always knew they wouldn't.
i was in a thrift shop the other day and they were playing the most unsettling variations of normal christmas music, culminating in this rendition of the 12 days of christmas except it was like 12 guys all singing over each other and going “no!” and interrupting the lyrics with random other phrases until they deadass just started singing 5 golden rings to toto’s africa. can anyone confirm that this is a real song and not that i stroked so hard i astral projected into a universe where everything is somehow worse than it is here
okay i'm locking these in early i know what's gonna happen i'm calling it now
I love kids man, I’m holidaying with my cousins and I’m in my own room and we’re all saying goodnight. On her way out my youngest cousin asks if she can have my shoes when she’s older. Unprompted?? Zero connections to any conversations over the last week? Blinking up at me?
Isaac’s reading Time War! I need to know his opinions
I’m so mad at season 4, how dare they kill JJ? I watched it ages ago and I was so furious. I went back onto ao3 to see people’s perspectives on JJ’s death and I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Since they did kill him off - and I stand by that they could’ve done that better, having Groff be the one kill him was so awful and I could go on but I won’t.
JOHN B SHOULDVE BEEN BAWLING. THEYVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS AND THAT WAS IT??????
It should’ve been so much more. There should’ve been so much more emotion. Yeah I get Kie is was the girlfriend but JB was his best friend for so long they’ve been through so much together and idk but I was hoping for a super emotional death, not just John B just kneeling there.
I was looking forward to more jj and shoupe content but that won’t be happening (thanks to one fic, I’ve absolutely craved more of those two)
I’m so glad the fandom is writing about those final moments and putting so much emotion into it, I love you all
