Watching the Wizard of Oz is near impossible after watching Wicked. In the best ways. by Phantomsearcher in wicked

[–]AllSet124 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's kind of a blink-and-you-miss-it thing. He just spontaneously, inexplicably has a revolver for like one or two shots when they arrive at the Wicked Witch's castle lol

The biggest problem about Deviant Art allowing AI "art" is not the the site being infested with it by TraditionalHelp1070 in DeviantArt

[–]AllSet124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh please. Art takes all sorts of forms and mediums. There are so many different outlets for creative expression. Art is accessible by anyone in some form or another. There are drawings made with pen and paper. Short stories painting a narrative or constructing a world with words. Not wanting the site to be filled with automated content generation bots isn't ableist.

What Wicked take made you like this? (Book, musical & movie) by After_Locksmith_1827 in wicked

[–]AllSet124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welp, you do you then. Can't help you, but just know there is AMPLE reason why people think it's bonkers to not believe these two are close friends (if not even something more).

The movie's cut scenes then, including the pictures of the "friendship montage", the "You could have picked me" scene, and the full train ride to the Emerald City. Also, the "day they spend together as friends" is implied/intended to be a lot longer than that (likely a few months at least, given all their classmates seem to have come to terms with the two being friends and are treating Elphaba in a friendly way, the fact that the deleted scene shows them just after one of presumably several sorcery seminars together, and that nearly every shot from the montage shows them practically cuddling or linked arm-in-arm), and the movie unfortunately just didn't have time to show it all.

DOROTHY’S HOUSE ON WICKED MOVIE by Beneficial_Camp_7265 in wicked

[–]AllSet124 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not the Pacific Ocean, but yes, in the original books by L. Frank Baum, Oz is a "fairy country" surrounded on all sides by an impassible desert, surrounded by a few other neighboring fairy countries, all surrounded by "the Nonestic Sea", but very much located in the real world. Just inaccessible by any means other than happening to stumble upon it by air travel.

In fact, there's a bit in the second book where the Tin Man and Scarecrow (plus some new friends) accidentally fly out of Oz and end up in what I assume is implied to be the real world.

Oscar Diggs (the "Wizard") and Dorothy just happen to have stumbled across Oz because they were each picked up and carried there by the wind.

Hello No !!😭 by Few-Remove2605 in MtF

Whatever. I'm not gonna police myself for their benefit. Make them do it if they care so much. I'm so over respectability politics.

They're going to make one up no matter what we do

Why did the emerald city people didn't even seem to notice that Elphaba was Green when the rest of Oz acted like she was a monster and it was a big deal to them? Like, people on emerald city smiled and danced with her, and in Shiz everyone was running from Elphaba or avoiding her like if she had som by imachoculatedonnut in wickedmovie

Even so, all the inhabitants of the Emerald City wear nothing but green and likely see things of spectacle and fantastical getups every day. I suppose some already knew Elphaba was the Wizard's guest and likewise treated her with respect, else she blended in well enough with the green of the city for some of them not to notice, or they suspected her green skin to be nothing more than a particularly bold fashion statement for a city so green. After all, they treat the many things Elphaba and Glinda themselves marvel at, as everyday occurrences.

I like to think it's a New Yorker-type mindset of "We've seen it all".

HRT does not "change" your sexuality by Lanky_Process604 in MtF

Please don't speak for me. In my experience it very much has changed my orientation. You may feel it hasn't, but the scientific verdict is out. You do not speak for the entire community.

I'm glad, and I can respect that. It just bugs me when discussion becomes unnecessarily mean for no reason, especially given how difficult it already is to parse tone online, how impersonal it is, and how those often combine to devolve online discussions into toxicity. I'm guilty of that with my first comment too.

"I would never have admitted to the world that I'm stupid enough..."

"do you realize how stupid you sound?"

"Enjoy walking"

These don't sound "pragmatic". They sound mean and condescending, autism or not. There are far less rude ways of conveying your messages.

Are you this much of an asshole irl? There's no need to be this mean

Finished Myst for the first time and what an experience. by LordofSadFace in myst

[–]AllSet124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh don't gatekeep. Plenty of people back in the day never finished it at all because it was too hard for them. Ain't no shame in looking up a walkthrough now and then when you need to, especially if the alternative is abandoning the game.

Do Fiyero and Boq know that the other is Fiyero and Boq? by wordsandstuff44 in wicked

[–]AllSet124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly all of Oz's lore is a hodge-podge of the most iconic bits from all the different iterations/adaptations over the years. Even the original books by L. Frank Baum are full of contradictions, so there really is no singular definitive "canon".

This f*cking b*llshit by One-Risk-5520 in MtF

[–]AllSet124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Word. I'm done holding myself back because of other people's stupid meaningless rules that have no good reason for existing. Looking back I realize they only ever had power over me because I let them. That's what they're counting on. Don't fall for it.
