I found a site with lots of posters I haven't seen before AND this ONE.
Why are they pluckering their lips like this? Why are their eyes closed? Why do they look about to kiss?
The smirk grows, Morrible grinning something wicked with far too many teeth, and then-
She starts to chant. The words drop off her tongue in a steady rhythm, something ancient and powerful coloring her tone. Elphaba immediately recognizes the language of the Grimmerie.
Its effect on Glinda is immediate. Her eyes blow wide with terror, and she scrambles to move, nearly tripping as she shoves at Elphaba.
"Go!" she shouts, before she slams her hands over her ears and screams.
It's agonizing. It tears out of her in a mix of anger and pain, her eyes clenched shut and her nails digging into her temples.
"St-stop!" Elphaba cries. She tries to reach for the blonde, but Glinda flinches away, yelling wordlessly as she curls in on herself.
"Whatever you're doing, stop it!"
Elphaba can feel her magic sparking under her skin, her pulse racing as panic floods her system. Morrible is smiling, the chant falling from her tongue like she's said it a million times before, like it's almost habit. In front of her, Glinda crumbles to her knees.
"Glinda!"
She's saying something. Something too faint and choked for Elphaba to pick up on right away. She crouches closer, hands fluttering uselessly over the girl's shaking frame.
"Glinda?" Elphaba asks again, her worry spiking when a sudden stillness falls over the girl. "What are you saying?"
Glinda lifts her head slowly, jaw clenched and eyes burning as she hisses, low and hard.
"Run."
It's the last thing Glinda says before her hands drop from her ears, her shoulders lock and straighten, and her previously twisted expression smooths completely over. Brown eyes, once full of fear and pain, are now dead and cold.
And staring right at Elphaba.
The blonde stands slowly in the sudden silence. Elphaba scrambles to her own feet, retreating hastily in a few awkward steps. Something is wrong. Glinda...she's gone.
Where just moments ago her friend stood, there is now an empty doll wearing her face. A puppet, ready to be pulled into place by Morrible's awful strings.
"Glinda?" Elphaba whispers one last time.
But the girl doesn't answer. Her eyes gleam with deadly intent, any trace of recognition or love gone in an instant. Elphaba's best friend is nowhere to be found. There is only the soldier.
And right now, her wand is aimed directly at Elphaba's heart.
Reblogging so I don't lose it
Hindus, please do not take Mahabharata and Ramayana lessons from serials. Read the actual scriptures.
Books I’ll recommend for Mahabharata and Ramayana that were written after a lot of research and reading are -
You can read these if you don’t have the time to read the scriptures.
During the British brutal colonial rule, 165 million excess deaths in India between 1880 and 1920.
There were approximately 25 major famines during the British Raj (the period of rule by the British Crown over the Indian subcontinent from 1858 to 1947.
Famine-stricken regions faced high taxes and forced labour. The British prioritized their economic interests over human lives. They exported grain while people starved.
Non interference was official government policy.
The sheer number of deaths, the neglect, the after shocks of British colonialism is all ignored or only mentioned in passing by history textbooks of the world.
Britain is yet to extend an official apology for the horrors they inflicted in India.
The British royalty still exists today and is celebrated around the globe.
I’ll leave you with a quote by the “hero” Winston Churchill ~
Why do hindu rights posts have so few reblogs? Because hindus are cowards. They cannot even reblog stuff raising awareness about their own community even if it’s on Tumblr, a platform that provides anonymity. We are nothing like our ancestors. We are weak, vulnerable and pathetic and it sucks.
It’s easier to reblog shayari or desi stuff instead. Ik because I’ve been there. I know how it feels to be a Hindu. I know how it feels to look the other way and numb your heart but sometimes—
We just don’t flipping care.
I'm Abhimanyu or Abhi for short. I'm gender fluid and use all pronouns but mainly go by they/he/ze.
I enjoy writing fanfics so if you have any suggestions or ideas for fics I could write you can always ask. Or if you just wanna talk. My main obsession right now is Wicked (I ABSOLUTELY ADORE GELPHIE AND GELPHIE FICS SO MUCH OMG SO IF U EVER WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT MY PAGE IS ALWAYS OPEN), but I also enjoy Percy Jackson, Six of Crows, Hamilton, and the Avengers.
Galinda: Hey Elphie, remember how we had to go to the pharmacy to pick up our ADHD meds? Elphaba: Yes? Fiyero: Well, it turns out they're all out for the next five days. Elphaba: Fuck. Galinda: It's going to be a fun week! Elphaba: I'm going to stay with Nessa. Fiyero: Nuh-uh. Through sickness and health, remember?
Help I’m reading the 2nd Oz book and damn Glindas cold af
have you got any james headcannons?
okay a lot of these are also hindu/desi James because 🥺 yeah
James was absolutely a dancer
specifically a bharatanatyam dancer
his parents were like super big on teaching him about all the cultural stuff and James was super active all the time so James being a dancer just,, made sense
also he had adhd
James lowkey idolised his parents and their relationship but for good reason
they were happy and they cared for each other and they were Peak Romance and James knew that's what he wanted one day
James was absolutely warned about the Black family and he was probably given loads of unsolicited advice on staying away from the infamous Sirius Black because he'd be a bad influence
(not by his parents though, Effie and Monty would never judge someone based on who their parents are)
and then he gets on the train and sees this scared little boy in way too formal clothes looking simultaneously terrified and relieved
and James just goes
FRIEND THIS IS FRIEND HI FRIEND HELLO
he's basically just a human shaped golden retriever
and Sirius is really just relieved that he doesn't have to spend the journey with death eaters in training
and they just kinda ramble at each other for ages
until they notice the two boys sitting across the aisle, one of them's half asleep and the other's very intensely playing with a muggle toy
(Peter was obsessed with rubiks cubes, you can fight me on this)
and James is so fucking confused by the lil cube and Peter shows him how to solve it and it's like James' entire fucking world suddenly makes sense because holy fucking shit
and Sirius thinks it's sweet that James is so easily amused and he's also in awe of how clever Peter is
and Remus just looks fondly at these boys who barely know each others names becoming friends so easily
and James definitely has an om pendant on black thread and it keeps catching Remus' eye
so eventually Remus asks about it
and James goes on this wholeee rant about his religion and culture and the food and presents
and he promises to take them all home one day to show them what desi festivals are like
and then they get to hogwarts and it's sorting time
and James knows how stressed Sirius is
so he makes shitty jokes and gets the other two to try and help cheer Sirius up
it doesn't really work but knowing that James is there means more to Sirius than he could ever say
the boys share a dorm obviously and James is,,, surprisingly neat
like you'd expect this whirlwind of an 11 year old to get his shit everywhere but he sorts his clothes into neat piles and he's super careful with his folds and he's got little desk organisers and he spends like half a day just focused on organising his stuff and putting everything away properly
James sees Lily on their first night when she's reading by the fireplace
and his brain is like
FRIEND NEW FRIEND HELLO FRIEND
because sweet little baby just wants to be friends with everyone
he remembers her name from the sorting and he's kinda worried because it's late
so he's like
hey Evans, right? it's getting late, you should probably head to bed soon
and she ends up saying she's homesick, mumbling it, hoping he won't hear because she's a bit embarrassed
he hears, of course
and he sits with her, talking to her about nothing and everything until she finally decides she's ready to go to bed
James gets back to the dorm and Sirius IMMEDIATELY gets on his ass because they're all immature 11 year olds when girls are the worst but also anytime a boy's nice to a girl they just assume he likes her
sooooo we heard you were with a girllllll
it's not like that, she just needed a friend
mmmhmmmm whatever you say potter
the next morning James sees Lily on the way to breakfast
he asks if she slept okay and she says yes and thanks him
and he tells her about what Sirius said because he thinks it's funny and she laughs too
and they start a little inside joke where he asks her out and she says no and they think it's cute and funny
and eventually James has his oh shit moment
because he wasn't meant to catch feelings, it was all just a joke
but then he'd ask her out and she'd roll her eyes and laugh a little
and James melts because holy shit the things he'd give to hear her laugh again
but of course he doesn't tell her because she can't possibly feel the same way right?
enter snivellus
Snape gets all jealous and starts acting up and being a prick
and James is like ??? you did this for what
like he doesn't get it because he doesn't know that Snape's jealous right and he just doesn't get why????
and Remus is like bro,, he fancies Evans but he thinks you fancy Evans so he's being a prick about it
and James and Sirius are like
TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME
and they think it's just harmless pranks at first (which is mostly true)
but Snape gets all whiny and plays the victim card as if he doesn't start shit half the time
and one day James does his usual "oi Evans - you, me, candlelit dinner Saturday night?"
and Lilys like
it's not fucking funny anymore, potter
and James, once again, is very confused
and Remus, once again, has to explain that Lily and Snape are friends and of course she's gonna be pissed off if he complains to her
but James is like
but friend that's my friend don't wanna lose friend
and internally he still kinda really wants her to say yes the next time he asks her out
but of course he doesn't exactly know how to go about keeping his friend
so he tries to carry on with the joke but Lily just gets more pissed off, especially as the pranks continue
James carries on being a great friend though
he's always there for Remus, almost obsessively researching everything he can find about werewolves so he can help
he's extremely protective over Sirius and even tries to help Regulus when he first joins hogwarts
he helps Peter with his homework whenever he needs for as long as he needs (hc borrowed from @join-me-in-the-bog)
he's absolutely the mum friend and he just wants the people he loves to be okay
also we know James is super into quidditch right
so everyone expects him to be the Jock™ right
but one night Peter walks in on him in an empty classroom
the floor's cleared and his ghungroos and footwork are loud but sharp
and James is dancing
and it's amazing and confusing at the same time because it's beautiful but no one really expected that from him
and James catches his eye and he's a little startled but he smiles when he sees it's just wormtail
they sit by the lake that night, just talking
so I suppose you don't want me to tell anyone
tell anyone what?
.... that you dance ??
James is super confused
Peter goes on about how it doesn't really fit people's idea of him, how he's seen as the Dude, the Man that plays Sports and shit
Wormy... I cried over a cat with a pink bow in his hair in the middle of the great hall... I highly doubt anyone thinks I'm a Manly Man
and they just laugh and nothing else matters in that moment
there's definitely more but this post is already long as fuck and brain's decided I'm not allowed anymore words so I might carry on some other time but I hope this was helpful ?? what you were looking for ?? idk, also sorry it took so long 💛
