a kaleidoscopic supernova

And goodness knows, the wicked’s lives are lonely. And goodness knows, the wicked dies alone…

“Elphie?”

Gross sobbing.

I wish these gifs were of better quality, but even so, they still give me chills. There is so much tragedy, ironic, ironic tragedy in this musical. And it starts out so happy, too. Everyone rejoicing because the Wicked Witch is dead, and like Glinda says… “She died alone.”

And then when Elphaba goes to her death, and Glinda has to watch while she dies, alone, unloved, when she has been misunderstood her entire life… it’s the saddest thing ever. That little “Elphie?” breaks my heart every time. And in the final song, Glinda has tears streaming down her face while she sings, “Because I knew you… I have been changed for good.” I completely lose it entirely.

I have SO MANY FEELS about Wicked, you guys. I love Elphaba and Galinda so much. ;____;
