I think the real tragedy of Wicked is that no matter how many times you see it or listen to it or whatever you believe that this time something will be different, this time Elphaba will stay or Glinda will go or Elphaba comes back but it stays the same. The alternate paths are just barely out of reach and that’s the real gut punch
the way she hides her brand new practice wand (that she'd first been SO excited to get) in shame and guilt when she meets Elphaba's eyes
two of the three werent passing that class anyway
Thinking about how Glinda never really hated that hat. She actually really loved it. It was dear to her. Her granny made it for her and probably played pretend with her, making Glinda’s dreams of becoming a sorceress come true. Glinda was just embarrassed when Pfannee and Shen Shen found it, so she pretended to hate it.
Maybe when she said she didn’t hate anyone that much to give it away, she really meant she didn’t love anyone that much— she didn’t trust anyone to understand how she could love a hat so hideous.
Maybe she knew Elphaba would understand. Maybe she knew Elphaba would take care of it.
And maybe Elphaba proved her right. And now, Glinda gets to admire as the most fearless person she has ever met cherishes her hat as dearly as she did.
Also, how do Spotted and Tiger react to Cloudkit? Especially Spotted now that we've seen her speech about letting kittypets in!
-🐻
Tiger: You're telling me, small Fireheart is kin to this ball of snow that's almost as big as Brindleface's kits despite being like a moon younger? No, no way. I admit if it had been freshly named Fireheart I would've probably rolled my eyes, but Cloudkit is just a kit, and he will only remember the forest... That makes him Clan now.
Spotted: I just... Look, if Fireheart lied about not visiting kittypets, how much has he lied to Bluestar? And she just lets it pass? Hmm, I wonder how uch she'll let it slide with this one
Just saw your winged!Glinda little snippet, do you have any headcannons for it?
oh babe i wrote that in like literally 5 minutes lmao. BUT- i will try my best
(also i think the drawing is based off an ao3 fic that i haven't read yet so these have nothing to do with that just fyi!)
its impossible for glinda to wash her own wings. as such, the blood stains a bunch of the feathers closest to her back a pink color. Morrible thinks this is hilarious
glinda has to build up all the muscles for her wings from scratch. which means....no flying yet. in fact- she can barely even lift them for days, resulting in them dragging painfully on the ground behind her and having several feathers break off
she's in pretty much constant pain as her body adjusts
the skin at the base of her wings heals in thick, rough scars
glinda is very lightweight now, but she packs a helluva punch. contrary to popular belief, bird bones are strong
she didn't just get the wings: her senses are sharper too (elphie had been thinking about birds not just wings or flight)
they can't get any clothes to fit her at first. they have to design pretty much everything as a halter top that she can step into and pull over her head, leaving her entire back bare. she hates it and she hates the new instinctual vulnerability of it
learning how to fly is easy. learning how to land....not so much
glinda has no one to preen her wings for her. she isn't even aware of how much better she'd feel if her feathers were properly taken care of
she never stops being scared of heights. she just learns how to fly through it
