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.
Do you ship it?
reason: They love/hate each other and have a forbidden love child. I live for stories like this.
I could watch this man make chocolate forever
The fact that this fits so well ahhhh
ao3 turns 15 today
reblog if youre older than ao3
(there's a lot of people asking about this, but the legal age to use social media is 13, except in few countries. so yes, there are people here under 15)
just saw a fanfic on ao3 have a dedication for chatgpt... that section is meant for your horny perverted mutual who proofread your work, you violated sacred law and you will be torn apart and laid bare btw
The perfect take
ABIGAIL (2024) SPOILERS!!!!!
ok im ngl, looking at the whole situation from dracula's perspective is actually pretty funny to me. like you LOVE your daughter, you do, and so of course you want to keep her forever. so you turn her and even put in additions to the house for her protection and as tribute - like the metal window covering in the library and the painting on the wall that dean finds when he's exploring and even that statue in the library of the adult and the little girl. you keep her safe, probably train and teach her, make her an essential part of your criminal empire by giving her the role of head hitman, and when she's not doing that, she has the freedom to do whatever she wants and the means to do it. and should she ever need you, you come immediately.
the only problem is, she's 12. forever. like i genuinely dont think that fact sunk in and he's honestly about to be bopped over the head with it SO HARD
The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity
i literally can’t listen to tik tok by kesha without thinking about that goddamn star trek tos fanvid…you know the one
MY TA SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FOOT AND THE PROFESSOR WAS SO FUCKING QUICK LMAOOO
woke up this morning, rolled over, and very confidently tried to blow out my alarm clock like a candle. absolutely no precedent for that.
i'd write an essay about how much i love this scene if i could but i'm not a writer so i'll just settle for drawing it since i don't see fanart of it a lot
Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.
i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping
I’m so thankful to the ao3 writers in the Wolfs fandom, because I cannot put my thoughts onto paper and you are doing a wonderful job

Blizzard was such a good episode!
- The fun they were all having at the start and the transition to getting everything together? Ahhhhh
-the cast prank
-continuously playing music over the speakers
-Lydia getting blood splattered on her and not flinching
- Mookie helping out in the surgery
-The new surgeon coming in and everyone immediately accepting her presence
-Haleh singing to the child
-Bob making a split decision to operate
And my favourite
- Linda seeing the annoying temp struggling and she just picks up a phone and begins working, and even orders pizza
Because it was her and Nicky ahhhhhh
