In the movie there is a case to be made that the closeness between Elphaba and Glinda is the reason Elphaba didn't fall for Morrible and the Wizard's nefarious plan in the first place.

Like, yes, I think it's pretty much canon across all versions that Elphaba will always revolt in the end. That she can't abide to the cruelty against the Animals and will rage against the machine, so to speak.

But what if she was broken first? How much further would she have fallen for that propaganda, if Glinda had not shown her kindness? In the movie, we see Morrible approach is far subtler than the book or musical. And she even manages to redirection Elphaba's anger for the Animals' mistreatment and harness it into powerful magic.

If Morrible had been able to follow that trajectory, how far would that manipulation have gone? I can easily see an abuser/victim dynamic, where Elphaba only feels competent and important when she's being mentored or in the presence of Morrible. And why would she leave her? Morrible is the only person who ever believed in her.

But in comes Miss Bubble and Glitter. Who tells Elphie she's beautiful, and recognizes her immense talent, and worst of all, she's in the same class Morrible uses to try and train Elphaba into a pawn on her chess board. Suddenly, there is no other way but to back off on the emotional manipulation, bc suddenly she is here too…

Even before they step into the throne room, Glinda takes a moment to pause, look her in the eyes and say: "Elphaba Thropp, listen to me. You can do this. You can do anything." Reaffirming her belief in Elphaba.

And then that intimacy between Elphaba and Glinda is instantly turned against each other the moment Elphaba realizes what's actually up. Elphaba can't be manipulated like the way they planned? Fine. Blondie, you're our barging chip now. First it is done as positive reinforcement: "And hey, if it'll make you happy, possibly, your friend [can stay too]."

And then, as Elphaba actively flees, it is no longer Glinda who tells the Wizard she'll "fetch her back." No. Now Morrible is the one who tries the Glinda-as-a-bargaining-chip-tactic and demands her to get Elphaba back.

Sure, Glinda is the one who eventually gets sucked into the position that was meant for Elphaba. But how easily could the tables have been turned? Where Glinda didn't take that leap towards Elphaba at the Ozdust ballroom? Where they didn't get close and Elphaba remained an outsider, fending for herself.

In that timeline, Morrible would've been able to dig her claws in deeper, and it would not be Glinda, but Elphaba who became the Wizard's puppet instead.

things i want to be

really hot

not poor

Council: we're going to m!rder everyone in Zaun that we have to in order to catch Jinx

Caitlyn: wait no, a lot of innocent people will die if we do that. What about if me and a few others go in and find Jinx? We'll use the Grey specifically in areas where Jinx is, and it won't harm anyone, it's just to get Jinx to go out in the open so we can find her

Council: okay fine

--Caitlyn doesn't kill a single Zaunite the entire show unlike everyone else in the main cast besides Ekko. She immediately betrays Ambessa when she realizes that Ambessa is manipulating her grief to make her go along with violent plans. Then acknowledges that she was wrong for going along with Ambessa, admits that hated herself when she was so determined to find Jinx, FORGIVES Jinx for *kidnapping her, attempting to kill her multiple times, severely injuring her, and murdering her mom,* allows Vi to set Jinx free, and in the end gives up her seat on the Council to Sevika (showing that she never wanted power and knows that Zaun needs representation in government)--

Fandom: ...CAITLYN HATES ZAUNITES AND TRIED TO KILL THEM ALL!!!!!! SHE NEVER CARED ABOUT ANYONE ELSE!!!! ANYONE WHO LIKES HER IS A MONSTER!!!

|------» ~~~ «------| 

reminder that you can disagree with Caitlyn's actions and still acknowledge both why she did them and that she worked to rectify them. as someone who's ancestors were actually g@ssed and killed... I literally cannot comprehend how people think that's the same thing as what Caitlyn did

Anyways! Quick rant!
