Elphaba Is The Kind Of Autistic Where It Is Inconceivable For Her To Mask And Glinda Is The Kind Of Autistic

Attrition

This story by @festivating will change ur life

In utter disbelief

Thinking about how Glinda never really hated that hat. She actually really loved it. It was dear to her. Her granny made it for her and probably played pretend with her, making Glinda’s dreams of becoming a sorceress come true. Glinda was just embarrassed when Pfannee and Shen Shen found it, so she pretended to hate it.

Maybe when she said she didn’t hate anyone that much to give it away, she really meant she didn’t love anyone that much— she didn’t trust anyone to understand how she could love a hat so hideous.

Maybe she knew Elphaba would understand. Maybe she knew Elphaba would take care of it.

And maybe Elphaba proved her right. And now, Glinda gets to admire as the most fearless person she has ever met cherishes her hat as dearly as she did.

My conspiracy theory is that one of the reasons they fired Stephanie J. Block for the role of Elphaba in 2000 and replaced her with Idina Menzel at the end of the OBC workshops is because SJB played the role SO gay that it was quickly crossing the line of plausible deniability. Like she doesn't seem to be able to help herself.

And thank god she eventually got to play the role on Broadway (arguably one of the best - if not THE best - actresses who ever did), because we finally got to see her get super fucking handsy and stare lovingly into Glinda's eyes inches away from her face for three hours:

Like holy shit why do you keep looking at Annaleigh Ashford like you want to eat her alive??

Plus I cannot emphasize enough just how effective and moving this particular version of For Good is. Straight up feels like wedding vows.

(Ironically, she also has the best chemistry with Fiyero's character, and arguably the very sweetest performance of As Long As You're Mine in the entire slime tutorial universe.* So I'm just reading this as a Thropple Truther performance.)

*But that's just because she was (and still is) literally married to him. So they get uh. A little carried away in their performance. *cut to Sebastian Arcelus holding lantern up, his face covered in green makeup from aggressively making out with his wife on stage for several minutes* Apparently the makeup team HATED that song for them.

That's the gayest shit I've seen in a while

Question! With the part WAYYYY back in the beginning where the clan split into two, how'd you do that in game? Were some of them lost? Were they still in the same clan in game but you pretended they split? Or did you manually move them?

Okay so! I no longer have the screenshots of me doing this, but what I did was I made a new save file. I then copied all of the folders in VaporClan's save file folder thing and replaced the ones in the new save file with those. So I had 2 identical save files (with a different name)

I exiled Fire, Frost, Wolf and Fog in one save file. And in the other I exiled Rain, Branch, Soot and Mantis

When the Clans merged together, I added Rain, Forest and Pale into the VaporClan save file, leaving Ice alone in her own little save file (that used to be the MantisClan one.) This save file would be the one all her kids is born into. When the Clans merged and she went off alone, i played her save file alongside VaporClan to see what she'd get up to

So they’re going to have Cynthia & Ari sing & open the award show but not give them the award?

Oh okay it’s giving Barbie
