Etho is the kind of guy to believe in chemtrails and that the earth is flat, but in a really low-key, stress-free kind of way. He’s not gonna picket the government or anything, he just thinks that’s the way the world is. It’s just a casual part of his worldview. He’s so unbothered by it that nobody knows until he just casually drops in conversation that there sure are a lot of chemtrails out today and Doc swivels his neck 180 degrees like an owl to stab him with eye lasers
I don’t think we talk enough about how the entirety of Wicked is built on the irony of No One Mourns the Wicked. The musical exists because Glinda feels the need to tell Elphaba’s story, because she is in mourning and entirely alone in that. Glinda’s love is what creates the musical because no one mourns Elphaba except her, and that is an incredibly lonely place to be. She’s just lost two of the most important people to her, and all she’s trying to do is make someone, anyone else see how important they were.
gotta love how Elphaba thinks Fiyero is dead, sings a whole anthem about it being her villain origin story, captures Dorothy, yells at her a little, and then receives the message from Fiyero letting her know he’s alive and IMMEDIATELY cancels her villain era
Let his flesh not be torn, let his blood leave no stain Though they beat him, let him feel no pain Let his bones never break, and however they try to destroy him Let him never die, let him never die
okay i know the point of contrasting glinda walking down the aisle to elphaba walking through the cages of Animals was probably a “lies in the light truth in the darkness” thing but there’s a read of that choice that implies that, deep down, glinda finds heterosexual marriage as horrifying as elphaba finds Animals in cages, and that’s just very, very funny
every year i forget how impossible it feels to function when you’re cold and under a blanket. u really expect me to be productive right now? to think about things? outside the warmth and safety of my blanket? kind of messed up to be honest
