The Empire are Space Nazis.

Louder for the people in the back: THE EMPIRE ARE SPACE NAZIS.

Whatever else they are, whatever representations of more modern evils they might be used as, The Empire was created to be Space Nazis.

Current favorite ship dynamic: THEY’RE IN LOVE! …they’re stupid… but THEY’RE IN LOVE!

what's fun about the trickster in sja is that for all he claims to love chaos, what he actually poses is the threat of normality. sarah is weird. both as a person, and for someone of her age - she skipped all the typical milestones of adulthood; she never married, never had kids, you get the idea. what does the trickster present her with? an alternate version of reality where her life is normal. in whatever happened to sarah jane?, sarah is literally replaced by a woman who lives in her house but acts far more like what you'd expect from a woman her age. in the temptation of sarah jane smith, sarah is presented with the opportunity to replace her childhood as an orphan raised by her aunt with a childhood raised by her parents. the wedding of sarah jane smith speaks for itself - an opportunity to replace a life spent perennially single with marriage. crucially, each of these occasions is a path to certain destruction - course correcting her life to be normal will literally destroy the world. the trickster is an outside force threatening to impose social expectations on sarah's life; it is perhaps telling that it is otherworldly forces, in particular the doctor - long a symbol of nonconformity and weirdness - that counteract and ward off the trickster. the trickster is tempting because he offers what seems like a better life. but equally, the trickster only has power over reality if you let him.

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

al’Lan Mandragoran has ultimate "I support my woman's rights and her wrongs" energy.

Read this as ‘watching one gay torture another gay to the brink of death’ and I would like to submit a proposal to official change the post

idk about you but personally...i'm feeling like i wanna cause some damage 😏

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...
