Eve Best And Steve Toussaint Being Absolute Chaos

Seeing this after watching Good Omens 2 hurts. 😢

“Fucking idiots” I mutter to myself while reading (for the millionth time) about two dumbasses clearly in love with each other CONVINCED that their feelings are one sided

“I’ve learned from Palpatine.”

Killed too many people, got her body taken away like… go be a ghost and think about what you did lol 😂

agatha's not DEAD dead she's just on time out from being alive for the moment

Not to get all philosophical or anything, but that’s like a really good metaphor.

People who start out with everything and lose half are upset, but people who start out with nothing and gain half are excited.

So maybe you were asking the right question, because whether someone’s an optimist or a pessimist can have a lot to do with how the liquid got there in the first place.

when i was a kid i used to respond to the "glass half full/half empty" question by asking how the liquid in the glass got there in the first place. nobody ever gave me a chance to explain my reasoning so i'm doing it now

if you have a glass and it has some liquid in it, up to the halfway line, whether it is empty or full depends on what happened before the question was asked. if you started with a full glass and poured half out until only half remained, the glass is half empty, because if you continued pouring it would be fully empty. however, if you started with an empty glass and poured liquid from another container into the glass up to the halfway line, the glass is half full because if you continued pouring it would be all the way full. logical, no?

i was 13 years old when somebody finally told me it was supposed to be some kind of optimism/pessimism thing. i always thought it was a riddle that nobody let me solve

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...

I love that they included every house she represents, even Baratheon!!
