FATE: THE WINX SAGA relationships FARAH DOWLING and BLOOM PETERS

Hitter. Hacker. Grifter. Thief. Mastermind.

Sometimes, bad guys make the best good guys. We provide leverage.

Well, yeah, bc that’s his wife, he’s obligated to brag about her

the doctor will talk about how awful and pretentious and pompous the timelords are but then the second someone shows up with a vortex manipulator they will not shut up about how inferior it is to the tardis.

Did Leida’s husband/fiancé/fellow-child-marriage-victim ever actually speak? Like did he have any lines at all?

Me just now realizing the implications of a man whose people were massacred by space NAZIS saying a JEWISH phrase…

Something about how she was born for the throne. Something about how she may have moved on but she never forgot. Something about how the kingdom never quite forgot either. Something about how ‘The Queen Who Never Was’ still begins with ‘The Queen’.

Seeing Rhaenys at the head of a (Small) Council table, where a monarch would sit, speaking levelly and confidently whilst dragging a bunch of men clasping their swords and wine goblets, giving them a much needed history lesson and a reality check... NGL, that tickled my brain somewhat.

Kate: There are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Doctor way.

Osgood: Isn’t that just the wrong way?

Kate: Yes, but it’s much faster.

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...
