Description So I was a bit bored right now and felt like manipulating some pictures
Here we got some book-verse Gelphie <3
I tried to put my favorite scene from Wicked (the novel!!! "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West) together with pictures from the musical (as there are no others). For those who've read the book, you'll hopefully recognize this as the goodbye scene at the end of the second part. Elphie tells Glinda "Hold out, my Sweet" and kisses her. And then, after kissing her a second time, she leaves (and I cry ).
Anyway, Gelphie is canon!!! Deal with it!

Funfact No 1: Neither of Elphaba's hands actually belonged to the picture of Julia Murney before.
Funfact No 2: In the tiny pic, it looks like Elphie is touching Glinda's breasts... that wasn't intentional, I didn't notice it until now

well, Wicked of course
and we'll see what else we're in the mood for
Maybe legally blonde or Les Mis... but I also heard a lot great stuff about End of the Rainbow. Usually I prefer musicals but a play once in a while doesn't hurt

Ni-Chan1991 In reply to itsinthemuffins [2011-04-21 20:35:11 +0000 UTC]

lol Elphie and Glinda just belong together, so I don't think it's weird at all
Sometimes I just wish the musical was more like the book ^^

Ni-Chan1991 In reply to itsinthemuffins [2011-04-21 22:05:52 +0000 UTC]

I read the book first

No, I don't think so, actually I dislike real-person-fanfiction, that was the only exception so far and I don't have an pressing ideas for another one, sorry ^^

sad now, i really liked it

Just thinking, do you cringe when you write these, or are you immune now ? xxx

Ni-Chan1991 In reply to itsinthemuffins [2011-04-21 23:32:36 +0000 UTC]

I liked it too but usually rp-fiction isn't my cup of tea
I wouldn't say I cringe while writing but I'm not immune to it either. it just takes me longer to write something like that in comparison to other things, but I get through it

I really like the pic...the book is awesome as well as the musical! I hope you don't mind me asking but what is 'Canon' exactly?

Ni-Chan1991 In reply to TabithaSage [2011-03-15 15:57:10 +0000 UTC]

Thanks
Well, "canon" means that it is based on something (the book in this case) and that the "Gelphie"-ship does not just exists in the minds of obsessive fangirls

TherealRNO In reply to Ni-Chan1991 [2016-05-01 20:06:33 +0000 UTC]

But, it's only part-way canon, because Elphie gets with Fiyero and has son Liir before being melted. Of course, in "Son of a Witch", when Liir goes to visit Lady Glinda who has his mother's charred broom and the sorceress recognizes him, Glinda breaks down in tears, saying something like "My Elphie was right..." basically telling Liir about how corrupted Ozian government had become under the humbug Wizard and how it didn't fare no better once the presumed Scarecrow (not Fiyero, but a lookalike replacement) was crowed temporary ruler. The thing is, in the novel both Fiyero AND Elphie are dead FOR REAL. Their deaths were NOT faked in the books like they were in the musical.

I wish I was able to read the book... but I can't find it anywhere... :<
BUT GELPHIE IS CANON!
I saw the musical a couple of days ago, and the actresses kissed during the curtain call.
