“We all become the person who would have saved us when no one did” - Somebody (I have no Idea where I heard this but I didn’t come up with it so credit to whoever)

William Wordsworth

hope is a skill

Then I’d say you skipped 2x02 and 2x05 and 2x09 and 2x17 and 2x22 and 3x11 at the very least, in just the first two and a half seasons.

I can understand why some people might not like Regina, even though personally I love her, but she loves Henry, and she proves it over and over and over and over again. Seriously, the writers really hammered it home, and if you missed that, I’m sorry but you’re just inventing more reasons to hate her.

Episode explanations beneath the cut.

2x02 - she lets him choose who to live with, and when it isn’t her, she respects his choice

2x05 - she gives up magic and goes to therapy to be better for him

2x09 - she undoes the death curse, despite the fact that her mother, who she is terrified of might come through, because Henry asked

2x17 - she destroys the spell that would let her keep him forever because he asks

2x22 - she slows the trigger at the cost of her own life so that he can have his family (because let’s be real, she doesn’t really care about anyone else in the town yet)

3x11 - she gives him up forever (or at least she thinks forever) to stop Pan’s Curse, and gives him and Emma a lifetime of memories so that they’ll be happy

what if i say that regina never loved henry as a person but as possession she could have!

they said the thing.

rebellions are built on hope.

little does that hotel worker know how that will carry down to the destruction of the death star.

I would like to nominate this post for ‘Most Impressive Failure to Get The Point’

Like, seriously, what??? The whole meaning of the play is that it’s a commentary on the inherent injustice in society and the choice we all face in that injustice society: to sacrifice our morality in order to be accepted or to sacrifice our relationships and reputation in order to stand up for what’s right. It was originally meant to represent Antisemitism, which is part of reason the first person to play Elphaba (Idina Menzel) was Jewish, but Cynthia Erivo isn’t Jewish, so the rhetoric shifted to match the cast. The second half makes that divide even more obvious and shows how the people in power use their position to vilify people who try to point out the unfairness of the system. It’s meant to make us reflect on our own society and consider who might be the Elphabas (people who are vilified for speaking out) in real life. Not to mention the fact that, yeah it DOESN’T have a fix, because we still haven’t figured out how to fix our system in real life, so for now, what we need to do is take the first step: RECOGNIZING that unfairness, which is what the play is meant to help do.

And as far as Glinda only treating Elphaba well when Elphaba did something good for her, Elphaba did the exact same thing, only helping Glinda when she thought Glinda had done something nice for her and her sister, Nessa. The whole point is that they were both standoffish to begin with, and- cycling back to the first half of this post- everyone sided with Glinda (and later the Wizard) because of the inherent unfairness of the system. Their friendship is meant to show that once we get past our initial biases and realize that we aren’t each others’ enemies, we can accomplish far more. Of course the play is somewhat tragic and they make different choices when exposed to The Problem that end up forcing them apart, so they could never have ended happily, but the point is that they didn’t HAVE to be enemies.

TLDR: the racism is the whole freaking point.

how DARE you think Wicked is mid, this is the WORST insult to ANY generation! AND NOT SHIP GELHPIE? THIS IS AN INSULT TO MANKIND AS A WHOLE. HOW DARE YOU WALK THIS EARTH WITH OPINIONS, GO TO MARS WITH ELON MUSK.

As I said with my friend:

And the reason I don't ship Gelphie boils down to

And as much I hate Elongated Muskrat, I actually love Mars. It's my second favorite planet after Saturn so...

Friends, Bix was always a trope.

She was The Hero’s Ex who he Still Had Feelings for, her boyfriend was Conveniently Disposed Of, she was involved in the rebellion just enough to get Captured By The Villain, so that the hero could mount a Daring Rescue.

Why would that have changed in season 2?
