have i told you guys about the time that i classically conditioned my kindergarten class
I could make a serious Wicked review and talk about the vocals and the choreography and the costumes and the sets, which are all great, but this is tumblr, and I know that all of these aspects will not matter nearly as much as me reviewing the movie by how much gay subtext they put into it, so that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Elphaba and Glinda are either holding hands or have their arms linked for about 70% of this movie. Literally, after they officially become friends these girls are attached at the hip.
'What Is This Feeling?' remains about as gay as it usually is, but I will highlight that they lie awake at night thinking about each other which. I know what you are etc etc
The scene where they dance together is. I have no words. That was beautiful. Both actresses put so much emotion into the sequence. And there's a moment where Glinda puts her hand on Elphaba's face, almost like she's brushing away the tears there, and that shit made me cry as well.
'Popular' is insanely homosexual. There's a scene where they're laying down on the bed looking into each other's eyes, and Glinda shifts to basically be on top of Elphaba. My jaw was on the floor. Just lots of touching and Looks all throughout.
When they go to see the Wizard all that casual touching I mentioned previously is multiplied by tenfold, and there are several moments where Elphaba looks at Glinda for reassurance, which was very sweet.
'Defying Gravity' made me just as emotional as I knew it would. I do wish they had hugged but honestly with all the handholding and the staring into each other's eyes, and Glinda wrapping the cloak around Elphaba, they gave us plenty. Once again the acting caught me by surprise (specially from Ariana), both of them communicate so much with just looks.
Anyway my overall thoughts are, these bitches gay, good for them. They did not tone down the subtext at all (like I know some people were worried would happen), and while they didn't make anything explicit either (which I never expected them to*), I'm confident that both Cynthia and Ariana understood the assignment in regards to the kind of relationship Glinda and Elphaba have in canon, and that was enough for me.
*I will admit that a secret corner of my little lesbian heart hoped beyond hope that they would include the scene from the book where Elphaba canonically kisses Glinda (iirc it's supposed to be during Defying Gravity), but like, I always knew they wouldn't.
Reblog if its ok to spam you with boops
Ok so I’ve been loving brilliant minds and one of the things I find ridiculous and stupid because they didn’t need to do that to her character, is Erika sleeping with her coworker. Because then she says to him that she wants it to be a secret and doesn’t want to be known as the girl who sleeps with her coworkers.
Surely the reasonable thing to do would be to, idk, NOT SLEEP WITH YOUR COWORKERS?
You don’t want to be known for that? Then maybe don’t?
The Predator (2018) had no business making the Loonies so adorable. The scene in the motel where Casey is sleeping off a tranquilliser and the guys just put stuff around her in an attempt for her to have comfort when she wakes up to a room full of army (and three marines) guys. One even puts down a cup and saucer of what may be tea next to her. There’s a collection of little things and an alfoil unicorn.
Later in the scene they’re helping one of them who said something because of his Tourettes (played by an actor with Tourettes and the director wrote his character having Tourettes so he could tic comfortably in front of the camera) and they’re all like nah he said this and Casey’s like ?? Another adorable moment.
When they’re in Quinn’s wife’s (ex?) house and they’re all wanting to watch tv?
When Casey says the predator dog is hers now and they all follow along with it?
I knew I would enjoy this movie ONLY because of the little team they made and their adorableness. (And because I think Olivia Munn, who plays Casey, is pretty.
I'm currently testing the limits of my antidepressants by rewatching Breaking Bad

The knights love and hate Merlin coming to training. They love it because Merlin is their little cheerleader and they seem to perform better when Merlin is there to cheer them on. They hate it because he never cheers Arthur on and Arthur gets jealous and shows off to catch Merlin’s attention which means that Arthur performs better when Merlin is there which makes him a demon on the field. Which means the knights have to visit Gaius after training to get new bruise salves and that one time when Percival had to get his broken nose set because he ducked too late when Arthur was swinging the hilt of his sword down because he was exhausted from how hard Arthur was pushing them
The fact that this fits so well ahhhh
I love kids man, I’m holidaying with my cousins and I’m in my own room and we’re all saying goodnight. On her way out my youngest cousin asks if she can have my shoes when she’s older. Unprompted?? Zero connections to any conversations over the last week? Blinking up at me?
She/TheyI’m part of many fandoms and part of few very small ones.
