can non natives stop acting surprised and performatively jokey "uhh what lol!" about ice going after native americans. theyve been doing this for years and it ramped up last year and i had to hear all the stupid "uhhhh where will u deport them to 😜 silly republicans!" comments as if its not always been about detaining torturing murdering using as slave labor scattering communities through fear and intimidation etc. be an adult and act with maturity please. its not quirky or confusing its directly in line with americas racism and white supremacy to make sure native americans are eradicated

i wish i could imprint on people's brains that the US was never a democracy in the first place. you don't have a fair and equal society or government when you've built it on genocide and slavery but what do i know i guess. no one ever cares until the rights of white people are infringed upon, the rest of us that were pillaged and tormented and killed can just go fuck ourselves i guess

Hey uhh… men actually aren’t demonized for being men. There isn’t a “problem in the queer community of anti-masculinity.” And no, bigotry against gnc and butch women is not actually rooted in a hatred of masculinity. It’s rooted in gender policing. Come on people

Okay so putting this here so I can add to this later but;

AU where Miyeong gives birth to Rumi, sees her baby showing demon signs and just...dips. Hands the baby off to Celine, tells her that she can't do this and just fucking leaves.

And Celine is raising Rumi and maybe had a thing with Miyeong at some point.

And Third is...idk. Dead if we want super angsty. Trying her best to help raise Rumi if we want slightly less angsty.

I mean... my first thought is the split of Third being WITH Mi-Yeong because she's not raising a demon, enabling that evil into the world that's what they're meant to protect again.

The divide because Mi-Yeong caused all of this, but Celine can't let them harm or abandon an innocent baby!

Celine once again having to do everything solo, but instead of being the tough survivor she's the outcast who deliberately chose that in order to protect baby Rumi.

It's hard single parenting things, it's worse when everyone thinks you're the bio parent, and you're not the heroic survivor taking in a poor orphaned child to preserve the memories of your deceased friend.

Ooooh yes much more angsty.

Miyeong (who got to avoid scandal because she was able to hide her pregnancy) and Third being able to continue as a duo act;

Celine taking the public shaming and the fallout;

Trying to raise Rumi as a single mom while also raising her away from the spotlight, hoping they can fly under the radar as just another single mom and child instead of a disgraced idol and her bastard.

And then Rumi starts showing signs that she's a hunter and;

Celine not knowing how Miyeong and Third would react, telling Rumi to hide who her mother is when they inevitably meet and Rumi starts training;

And hmmm. I wonder how much Rumi would know. Like does she think she's Celine's bio kid or has Celine very lightly gone over The Situation? 🤔

If Miyeong and Thirdlight are still making music, that means there’s still an active Sunlight Sisters fandom, and that in turn opens up a whole new avenue of angst for Rumi and Celine in this AU: namely, that Rumi would have to go to school with Sunlight Sisters fans who still think of her mother as the slut who almost destroyed their favourite band.

Oof oof oof.

(Rumi's brain is never going to let her forget this; it'll be decades later and out of nowhere, she'll think "hey, remember when you called your mother a whore?"

And the shame will flood her again.)

Fresh off a rewatch and I’m really intrigued by the fact that the two times Elphaba uses magic to save someone’s life (Boq and Fiyero respectively) she turns them into something that isn’t human. 

I know she has a fairly loose grasp on the language of the Grimmerie so there’s a lot of desperation and monkey’s paw logic to it, but given that the Grimmerie is pretty attuned to her, I just feel like it speaks to a fear of the vulnerability of being human that she’s like I have to literally take away this person’s humanness to keep them safe. 

This whole concept of “human=weakness” is such a heartbreaking change in her given that Elphaba’s whole life she’s been made to feel like she isn’t human but always fought to assert herself as human anyway when she was younger, and then went on to fight as hard as she could to defend the personhood of Animals. I would have loved it if Part 2 explored Elphaba’s conflicting attitudes toward humanness and her own identity quite a bit more than it did. The closest we get is in No Good Deed when she expresses doubt and cynicism over her own motives, which is a phenomenal moment for her, but we don’t really get to see her wrestle with that concept along the way.

There’s so much depth to Elphaba that I feel gets skated over by fans who just want to make her a revolutionist saint and martyr to imprint on, when that’s still forcing her into an archetype rather than acknowledging her humanity or all the doubt and insecurity she’s just barely keeping contained beneath the surface. Her fluctuating struggle with humanness/personhood and whether it’s something to be protected and valued, or something that causes harm and weakness, or whether it’s something she’s even allowed to experience, is such an integral part of her character, something she does her best to ignore until it’s too late; along with Boq and Fiyero’s transformations, her surrendering to becoming the Wicked Witch during No Good Deed is its own transformation into something that isn’t human in order to keep herself safe.

It adds so much strength to her insistence during For Good that Glinda can’t clear her name or try to stand by her because if Glinda were to put herself in harm’s way to protect Elphaba as she originally intended to do, Elphaba having to save her would almost certainly demand taking away Glinda’s humanness as she did with Boq and Fiyero. And I don’t think Elphaba could handle one more person she loves being stripped of their humanity because of her. She cuts off her own humanity at the loss of Fiyero, but then reclaims that humanity when faced with the fear of losing Glinda.

Anyway. Elphaba struggling back and forth with the concept of personhood and vulnerability, fighting for it, longing for it, resenting it, then destroying herself over it, before ultimately making the decision to protect the last shred of humanity left to her in the form of Glinda…Just makes me feel things, that’s all.

after the twelfth or so richard siken twitter clapback reposted to tumblr it becomes clear that, while richard siken’s fans may be annoying, they are not the ones searching their name on twitter and arguing with random teenagers who never even argue back

I thrifted this lacey dress and added some tulle for a more princessy feel. 

Ppl make fun of that genre of horny post where words are different colors but I actually think it’s funnier that this website even has customizable text colors, something most social media does not have, and that’s like the only thing ppl use it for

i do think this is glinda's fault somehow. for being alive

Oz online discourse would be like OMFG plus that blog calls her “Elphaba” instead of the wicked witch of the west… opinion discarded

"Elphie" ohhh...oh you're definitely a Glitchie*...i'm out

[*"Glitchie" is the self-assigned title for fans of the RPF[1] pairing between Glinda the Good (Glinda Upland) and the Wicked Witch of the West (Elphaba Thropp). Use of the name is first traced back to Ozblr user @/wands-and-brooms, who stated in a now-deleted post: "EVERYONE i've got it: glinda + witch = glitch. isn't that just perfect XD that's how they think about us and call us. a bug in the system. that's what queer love, what queer stories are to them. FLIP IT AROUND!"[2] A core tenet of the community is the idea that the Wicked Witch was unjustly framed by the prior Throne Minister, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Following the Wicked Witch's execution, a subsect of Glitchies pushed forward the controversial "Elphaba Lives" theory[3], though many[4] prominent[5] Glitchies[6] have made statements rejecting the theory, claiming it "misrepresents our fandom ethos and makes light of a terrible tragedy" [7]. Nevertheless, the Glitchie community as a whole received a great deal of backlash when a post about the theory went viral, with one user commenting: 'Never seen a group of people so terminally online. Go up to any average Munchkin in Munchkinland and tell them your theory. They'd beat the shit out of you.'[4]]

There are actual tears in my eyes rn can you believe people are this stupid and walk among us all the time

haven't you heard? it's punk to be a cog in the foreigner murdering machine now
