if you're looking to download mp3_juice is a good alternative. It downloads from YouTube music videos so you can get sped up songs too.
Android used to have a music app, but it should download to your files under downloads. For IOS it also saves to your files under downloads
As tiring as all this shit is, I can't in good faith continue to use spotify.
For anyone else jumping ship, I used to exportify.app to save my favorite playlists.
Okay I've watched enough of Greys Antomy to do a tierlist of my faves.

-the way she minded her business when she caught Mer and Derek was perfect she's AMAZING
- Her friendship with Addison is so underrated
- I love her guys
7. Preston Burke
- HES SO FINEEEEE
- he's only so low bc he left Cristina at the alter

9. Lexi grey

- sweetie pie shame
10. fucking O'malley
- the only time I've actually HATED a characters development

- seriously the writers hated George's character you can't tell me otherwise bc WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT.
-loved his episode with Miranda tho he was what she needed while in labour.
- when he got on the bed behind her to help her omf guys HE WAS SO ATTRACTIVE THEN
- then he got the finance playboy haircut and turned into a dick and I've lost all attraction
Before yall come at me
Meredith isn't included bc I love her character so much I'd need a whole post dedicated to her. Genuinely she's the best representation I've seen of someone struggling with mental health and I relate to her, so I cannot rank her.
I'll forever be upset that the writers took away the cool older sister and dorky younger brother duo that was izzie and George I'm forever grateful we got Alex and Meredith bc they were the brother sister duo we needed
If you like kento nanami, you'd LOVE Preston Burke
So I've been watching greys anatomy and something I love so dearly is how Alex and sometimes Sloan treated Meredith.
I know Alex is a complete asshole for the majority of seasons 1 and 2 however he always made sure to be there for Meredith. When Meredith slept with George and everyone else got mad at her for some unknown fucking reason Alex was the one who stood up and said hey get the fuck over yourself stop wandering around like a hurt puppy so she doesn't like you get over it. It happens sometimes. I don't understand why George got so fucking butthurt that she started crying during sex. Yes, rejection sucks ass but unfortunately this isn't some fantasy world where you'll hear yes to you ask of someone. I was so shocked Cristina didn't stand up for Meredith and you know I think Addison would have stood up for her because anyone can change their yes to a no at any point during sex. But George didn't get that and oh my God he was such a good character up until that point. I really enjoyed his arc with Bailey he was the best person for that specific time but jeez they ruined his character and turned someone genuinely sweet into a "nice guy"
ANYWAYS ONTO SLOAN.
Why I kind of like Sloan (except for him referring to her as an intern emotionally in season 4 ) Is the specific instance of the bone graft thing on Ava. Meredith had just lost her mother and almost died and came back. Everyone treated her as something fragile who could not be a hard-core surgeon. Yes I do think part of him wanted to win points with Webber for Chief of Surgery. But also, Mark Sloan was never going to get Chief of Surgery. I really like that he gave her something to show everyone that yes she's been through some tough shit lately, but she is still a more than capable surgeon.

im having so much trouble picturing what this should look like. I drew diagrams. Ignore my shit handwriting and drawing skills.
Below is what I generally see people describing or what is considered canon
The purple arrows indicate how crime could easily spill from crime alley onto main roads and stuff unless uts surrounded by an industrial complex, but that doesn't make sense. Bc why would theatres and stuff be built next to AN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. That's just bad real estate development.
Below is what I PICTURE
Anyone else have trouble picturing crime alley?
Like in my mind, I'm seeing a dark narrow alley with a wall at the end that Red Hood paces up and down and occasionally shakes his gun at Nightwing, making as if he's about to walk in.
catra and adora, as that one arcane s2 poster
There's something kinda weirdly sweet about how movie Fiyero, after like 5 seconds of shock at Elphaba being green is like, "oh, well she's pretty," and then continues to try and seduce her.
Like my boy might still be a player at this stage but he's no racist.
Jason likes fucking around on his bike. It got to a point where people knew he'd be coming by a specific sound.
And dick being the annoying older brother he is decided to copy him to Jason's Dismay
Like yk the picture I couldn't find it.
And obviously that annoys jason to no end bc ofc his dorky older brother is stealing the cool shit he does.
me ever since watching wicked:
GOODNESS KNOWWWSSSSS
AHAHHHOHHHAHHHHHHHAHHHHH
IM DEFYING GRAVITYYY IM FLYINGGG HIGHHHH DEFYING GRAVITY
I HOPE YOURE HAPPY IN THE ENDDDDDD
UNLIMITEDDDDDDD WE CAN BE UNLIMITEDDD
LALALALA LA LA LAAAAAAAA YOURE GONNA BE POPULAR
THERES A STRANGE EXHILARATION IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION

Yk Megumi literally hitting yuji constantly makes sense when you remember he'd beat tf outta everyone in school.
Yk the bully in those kdrama shows
THATS HIM.
Im rewatching, and the very first time we see young galinda with her hair fully out of her face is the first time she emotionally connects with Elphaba, and the first time, she strays from the norm. She joins Elphaba in her dance, which is a very emotional scene as it is the first we see her openly accepted by someone. This is the most vulnerable we see glinda as she sees Elphaba, who she truly is (Fiyero and Glinda's dialogue regarding Elphaba), and for once Glinda does something that would not socially benefit her (although it does) for once Glinda does something truly good.
Some people talk about how Glinda and Elphabas fashion slowly merge and they begin sporting similar clothes.
But I'd like to point out something about Glinda's hair. (Someone's probably already mentioned this though)
Before she and Elphaba become friends, she has her hair partially up. One side pinned back, the other loose so it could partially shield her face. Possibly linked to how she's always performing for everyone, curating her persona to be this extremely 1 dimensional good person. When she's not 1 dimensional at all, but by keeping her true nature hidden, she can always stay in the publics favor and therefore popular.
Elphaba, in contrast, always has her hair fully back, out of her face. She's not trying to hide who she is. She knows she's green she knows she's different and owns it because either way, she'll be shunned. She, too, puts on this persona.
Then they become friends. And well, we don't get to see glinda after her transformation we do see elphaba.
Glinda starts putting her hair back entirely. Showing her face. This could be her keeping a piece of Elphaba with her, the same way Elphaba has with Glinda (her hat and cape) based off of context this could also be her removing that part of herself she keeps hidden. She's now entirely the 1 dimensional good person Oz expects her to be. There's no Elphaba to push her to be truly good. It's her (like Elphaba) accepting the persona pushed onto her entirely and just going with that.
I just saw fem viktor by @rikku_the_leaf on tiktok
OH MY FUCKING GOD I NEED HER.

I've become so damn insufferable on the way to school this morning I played defying gravity and was singing along. My poor mother had to deal with that at 7:30 in the morning.
In my defense, I needed mental preparation for my first day back
i want more nuance to be entered into the discussion of the green girl sorority and how differently cynthia plays elphaba in comparison to those who came before her because while a lot of people are rightfully like "why was elphaba not black from the beginning" and celebrating that she is now being played by a black woman, i think we need to be careful in just writing off all the elphabas of the past as Random White Girls when the role was championed (and often followed/succeeded) by a jewish woman
the pop culture archetype of the Wicked Witch has deep roots in antisemitism stretching faaaar far back. there is a level of reclamation happening in casting idina menzel, a jewish woman, to play the Misunderstood and Maligned young girl who is branded as exactly that. and stage!Elphaba is also written and acted with jewish stereotypes in mind--she is loud, aggressive, no-nonsense, blunt. she is quick to advocate for herself and shut down the discrimination she faces. all of this is very intentional! her personality is abrasive from years of abuse, and that makes propagandizing her easy. this is literally the thesis statement of the musical--it's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed.
cynthia's performance of elphaba is fucking INSPIRED despite going in a completely different direction. she's much more reserved, analytical, one of her key character traits is how well she can read people (see her calling out Galinda as insecure/putting on airs in their first scene together, clocking that Fiyero is using his party guy persona as a shield for his own depression) elphaba's attempts to blend in and make herself smaller all fail simply because of her existence, if not that then because she feels empathy so strongly she often struggles to hold back from acting, protecting.
personality wise, though, cynthia's elphaba is very quiet and closed-off, not at all the bullet-to-the-face that she is in the stage show, and... she still gets propagandized and maligned. though this seems to contradict the other interpretation, it tells of the other end of the spectrum of propaganda, one that black women watching (and many, MANY other marginalized folks) are sure to identify with--it does not matter how "nice," how reserved, how small a black woman makes herself. a racist society will still scrutinize her every action for a way to parse ill intent from it, brand her as an angry black woman who is dangerous and wicked, and write off any humanity she has in the process.
these two very different interpretations tell of the lie of assimilation. the fact of the matter is, when you are marginalized, there is no way to sand down your edges enough to make the people oppressing you "accept" you. that is why wicked is a tragedy at its core. whether loud and aggressive or quiet and unimposing, there is nothing elphaba could have done to make the people of Oz see her as anything other than a scapegoat to blame all their problems on.
so while i definitely appreciate that people are excited for black girl era elphaba, i would encourage us all to still show appreciation for what came before--that was not white girl era elphaba. that was jewish girl era elphaba. two houses, both alike in dignity, two stories both worth being told.
CRYING at Galinda performing the most flamboyant like...tropical bird mating dance the world has ever seen
Meanwhile poor Elphaba, who has never experienced flirting with ANYONE before, let alone the world's most flamboyant closeted lesbian tropical bird, has no idea what the hell she's looking at and is just like ??????
Still, points for at least attempting to match Galinda's freak
Truly the most magnificent sapphic fail-flirt scene of all time.
The movie Wicked is proof that any source material can be vastly improved by simply making the intense female friendship much gayer + the mutual male love interest both wildly bisexual and lowkey down to just be their third
It really is nice how obviously fond Elphaba is of Glinda right off the bat in the movie, with What Is This Feeling showcasing how much Elphaba enjoys their little feud. For the first time in her life, someone's judging her for her, rather than her skin or her magic. Glinda doesn't give a shit that she's green, she's mad that Elphaba's taste in clothes and decor clash so severely with her own! She doesn't care that Elphaba could accidentally kill her if she got too angry, she's too busy being upset that Elphaba keeps minorly inconveniencing her! How refreshing that would be, to meet the most annoying person in the world and discover that her own narcissism has caused her to be the only person who sees you for who you really are. Of course Elphaba would take the hat seriously as a gift -- has anyone other than Dulciebear ever gifted her anything? Of course she would gamble her own self-confidence at the Ozdust -- at worst, Glinda's ego is so massive that she would never allow her mortal enemy to be the butt of someone else's joke. And in the best case, well, Glinda recognizes how important she is to the one person that she knows has no one. The only one who gets her, the only one who has ever understood her, standoffish and rude the way a stray cat is before it finally follows you indoors.
It's a real shame this story couldn't be anything other than a tragedy, huh?
"galinda is gay for elphaba" i say into the mic. the munchkins boo. i begin to walk off in shame as a voice speaks and commands silence from the room. "she's right" they say. i look for the owner of the voice. there she stands. its ariana grande.
This is an insane day for people who got into theatre by randomly coming across bootlegs of this show called wicked on a then-emerging video sharing site called YouTube in like 2006-2007 and were compelled by the lesbianism between the leads
there's no way this hasn't been done yet but come on, she is the epitome of this tweet
the wicked movie teaches important moral lessons like "be bisexual in college" and "don't trust politicians" and "if you push someone who's in a wheelchair without their permission, someone might throw a bench at your head with their mind"
