"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this.
Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause.
Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: the Imperial need for control is desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.
And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.
Remember this. Try."
…yes.

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...
Friends, Bix was always a trope.
She was The Hero’s Ex who he Still Had Feelings for, her boyfriend was Conveniently Disposed Of, she was involved in the rebellion just enough to get Captured By The Villain, so that the hero could mount a Daring Rescue.
Why would that have changed in season 2?
it's insane because Mon is going to flee the Empire. we know this. things are going to get fucked enough that it's not safe for her to stay. but how on earth her husband and daughter fit into this we have no idea.
i assume she is going to work with the Chandrilan mob guy.
i mean i feel like, just based on assumptions, Lieda is definitely going to be at least initially into meeting this random cute boy and then after Mon has convinced herself it was just an introduction that's definitely not all it will stay. and i mean.... i imagine in order for her to give the speech she gives in Rebels (which is during season 3 so i think that's actually 3BBY) we'll see how all of that plays out next season on Andor, or more specifically what leads up to that. but i imagine things have to be completely fucked already. she knows she'll have to flee after that speech. so maybe things were already at that point and she had nothing to lose and everything to gain. she went out speaking the truth and becoming a 'traitor.'
I name the Emperor, himself, for ordering the brutal attacks on the people of Ghorman. Their peaceful world is one of countless systems helpless against his oppressive rule. This massacre is proof that our self-appointed Emperor is little more than a lying executioner, imposing his tyranny under the pretense of security. We cannot allow this evil to stand.
and then she doesn't just disappear she gives a speech, from the Ghost, to bring together the Alliance to Restore the Republic
This is Senator Mon Mothma. I have been called a traitor for speaking out against a corrupt Galactic Senate. A Senate manipulated by the sinister tactics of the Emperor. For too long I have watched the heavy hand of the Empire strangle our liberties, stifling our freedoms in the name of ensuring our safety. No longer! Despite Imperial threats, despite the Emperor himself, I have no fear as I take new action. For I am not alone. Beginning today we stand together as allies. I hereby resign from the Senate to fight for you, not from the distant hall of politics but from the front lines. We will not rest until we bring an end to the Empire, until we restore our Republic! Are you with me?
anyway I'm so interested to see how she gets from Andor episode 10 to here.

FATE: THE WINX SAGA relationships FARAH DOWLING and BLOOM PETERS
Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
This was an excellent episode for Rio…
(Spoilers below)
Definitely starting to think that theory about Rio being death is beginning to add up. Between “kill all the witches around you” as though she herself isn’t one, “I get my bodies” which is self explanatory, and Agatha’s “Don’t” which sounded less like the command towards Lilia and a lot more like a plea (like to maybe not take her son again), I’m definitely feeling like Rio and Agatha were lovers until Agatha’s son died (maybe Darkhold related, maybe not) and Rio took him from her. The whole scar speech lines up with this, too.
Plus the very near kiss has also begun to convince me this might not be queerbaiting after all. You never know with Disney though.
I’m super excited for next week!
