I’m so mad that finance people and Swifties are, I suspect, two very separate Venn diagram circles with little to no crossover.
Nothing I want more than a fancam of Michael Burry to “Cassandra” by Taylor Swift.

Pretty rude that we know that, thanks to Elphaba, Glinda started learning sorcery with her, but we never actually get to see them learning together 😢
Like, how did those classes go? Did Elphaba give Glinda homework help?

Being autistic is like which do I choose?
1. Be natural and have people think I’m rude and uncaring
2. Perform courtesy in the neurotypical way and have people think I’m fake and untrustworthy

Imagine if there was a neurological condition that made running more natural than walking. Not less tiring, but more natural.
Because walking was so contrary to how they were wired, these folks would run everywhere, and wear themselves out, and need a lot more rest.

Like…I’m seeing Wicked edits to Taylor Swift songs. Do you know what 16 year old me would’ve given for Wicked edits to Taylor Swift????
You guys don't even understand, I've been so starved for Wicked fan content since I was like 16 f it's always been a niche theater kid fandom and I had nobody to talk to about it.
And now, finally, my Wicked cup runneth over. It's glorious.

Thinking about how Elphaba and Glinda pretty much completely create each other’s eventual personas.
She’s only Glinda the Good because Elphaba brings her to meet the wizard, and gets Morrible to include her in the sorcery tutoring.

Being autistic is kind of like if you found out you had a million dollars in a vault somewhere but no one knew where the key was so you could never access it.
