the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!
this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).
pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.

flower meanings in order of appearance:
goodnight to younger brothers who never listened to their father when he gave them advice on how to grow aubergines, older brothers who have never properly expressed an emotion, a farm assistant with glistening eyes and an unrelenting love for his boss, and a 2000+ year old drug dealer who only takes payment in phones*
*preferably iphones, and definitely no nokias
me: it's the beginning of the month and i've been feeling a little weird and sick and emotional lately but i'm sure it's just one of those things that'll ease up eventually
the nefarious uterus:
SAVE ME LUKE MANNING CHARACTERS.
some bookverse designs c:
details in comments
gelphie and theyre boy friend <3 (gelphie r girlfriends and fiyero is their platonic soulmate... thats my favourite thropple iteration.)
MY FIYERO DESIGN... hes described with ochre skin and blue diamond markings in the book so yk! the markings are inspired by indigenous markings like wituk dye amongst others
also, you'll notice, he is very girl. its on purpose c: hes v fluid to me in terms of gender and sexuality
AND ALSO. MY CROPE AND TIBBETT.. i hope u love them... ik tibbett has "blond bangs" but. blond tibbett just doesnt make sense to me..... hes a brunette. so i gave him highlights cuz hes gay LOL
ill admit i still havent read the books yet but the fanfic version of crope and tibbett have my whole heart <3
This has definitely been done before.
sorry baby x

Wanted to paint Teo (from The Sunbearer Trials) with his badass top surgery scars soaking up some sun on his wings, since he has Jade blood I tried having some fun incorporating it :)
Audition for a masc part in a theatre production that is willing to cut your hair to make you look more like the character.
Do theatre in general it is the most masculine you could do
(Authors note) he’s so mischaracterized as some emotionless egotistical douchebag…like dawg it’s still Miles 😭, and it’s canon he’s more of an anti-hero than a villain, plus he’s a artist cosplaying geek who loves his mom so….NO HE ISNT MEAN!
He has some mental issues from his dad dying (duh) so after it happened he tended to drop most of his friends because he felt like they wouldn’t understand.
He loves art, obviously, consistently makes graffiti art and loves covering fascist symbols
hes pretty nerdy and geeky, especially when it comes to his interests (comics, cosplay, art) but I don’t see him being a fantasy geek
He doesn’t really like people touching his hair often
his humor is a mix of dry and adult (probably from hanging around Aaron for so long)
while Miles learned Aaron’s rizz from the grave, Kilometers got to learn it from a breathing person :D (im sorry)
doesnt listen to Eminem (I honestly can’t see it) but Tyler the Creator, Biggie, 2Pac, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, and Childish Gambino
Keeps a picture of his family (with his dad) under his pillow and doesn’t tell anyone
super into coding and engineering (helps Aaron work on cars and motorcycles)
