happy 1 in the morning im sitting here trying to understand why glinda did not end up with elphaba im really trying to understand
#or i guess mroe specifically why did she end up as the leader of oz#i mean like.......you ... could ? argue ? that she wants to be the ruler ? ?? ? ?#but looking at her beyond the surface level of her character that falls apart so quickly#yes she likes the attention from being a prominent political figure but more important she hates having to pretend to be someone shes not#and like yeah. im sure she somewhat enjoyed her time as Glinda the Good in the years between act 1 and act 2#because she could tell herself that she made the right choice and elphaba was probably alive and she had a fiance etc etc#but like. after a few years that starts to wear down (aka what happens in thank goodness where she starts to seriously have doubts)#now from this point forward we see her further doubt her place as a prominent political figure in oz#and like yeah. yes she sends the wizard away and yes she puts morrible in prison#and thats done away with the Main Reason Why Oz Was Politically Corrupt#but like at this point. what reason does she have to stay?#she doesnt have fiyero. she doesnt have elphaba. she doesnt want to be a political figure.#the entire town is cheering for the death of her ''best friend'' who she swore not to defend to protect herself#and even if she can do what she does best and Convince herself that shes happy and that she can rebuild oz and she can be Glinda the Good#as we see in thank goodness!!! thats not going to last!!!#and now its not just her dealing with 'oh no elphaba is out there alone and in danger'#she has to deal with 'elphaba and fiyero are dead because of me and now i have to be happy in front of the town'#'and i can never tell anyone else how i really feel or what really happened'#besties i dont think she would survive long under that kind of stress!!!!!!!#anyways this is my way of saying. if this musical is so hell bent on making elphaba and fiyero run away and letting glinda think theyre dead#then i know in my heart that after like. a year maximum. glinda would snap and go looking for them#especially after things begin to pile up like. wheres fiyeros body. wheres elphabas hat#and maybe theres been a couple of sightings of them. i mean. even if they try to be as remote as possible#if youre just passing by its pretty hard to miss a scarecrow and his green girlfriend#you know#WOW THESE TAGS ARE LONGGGGG#i can talk about glinda for so long#SHBDHSABDHSBABAHAHAH#well i had more to say but i think. i think this is enough#simon says
