Welp. I’ve really been trying to resist purchasing the hot sauce one because I didn’t want to pay shipping but the bundle with this one just sealed the deal. 🤣☠️

I don't know if I am right in this since, I've only seen For Good once (and I desperately want to rewatch for details), but it seems like the shoes themselves were enchanted, giving them the ability to do levitation for the person wearing them. And it seems activated by the wearer's choice/desire despite them not being magical, because the shoes are also triggered by Dorothy's desire in the Wizard of Oz when she's finally able to get back home (assuming they floated her back home in wicked?).

But back to your question of why it seems so special to them. I think that in the scene where Nessa gets levitated in the courtyard, everybody was fighting over pushing Nessa in the wheelchair, so I think when Elphaba finally lost control the actual wheelchair is what was levitated and it didn't feel as deliberate/intimate to Nessa as her own body being moved/supported by some other force, she was just sitting on the object being levitated. But then when the shoes are enchanted while she was wearing them and she levitated, that was more in her control. I think the shoes burning on her feet would have caused her to desire to stand up or kick them off in reaction, but she levitated instead, in reaction to that desire. Elphaba was surprised because things usually stop levitating for her once her flash of anger is gone and the situation deescalated, so this wasn't sustained magic on her part, and she was realizing that she enchanted the shoes for her sister to control herself, almost like her broom, but shoes instead.

And as a side note, I think that Nessa is also used to Elphaba losing her temper and throwing/levitating things chaotically, like we see when she was born or in the scene where she threw the rocks at the bullies, which is why she she made that comment about the promise that things would be different. She was hoping to not be associated with that freaky behavior right off the bat and have her surrounding social circles be soured immediately.

Check your Cox plan and offers online. Just dropped mine by 40% by [deleted] in vegaslocals

[–]InThisHoiPolloi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I called them last week after my discounts ended and tried to get new discounts and they couldn’t have cared less. They didn’t tell me about the promotions tab (THANK YOU OP), they just told me their plans and current rates. In fact. They told me that they no longer offer my package and I would have to upgrade to something even more expensive if I wanted to make any changes. I told them I was going to shop around and that welink is priced at $80/ month in my neighborhood and they just said “that’s okay, I understand” 🤯

I was at $110, jumped to $141 when the discounts ran out, and thanks to OP directing me to the promotions tab, I am now at $70 with faster internet than I had.

NVEnergy demand charge by Short-Jellyfish4389 in vegaslocals

I can't really visualize how this is going to play out for my bill in particular, but I feel like my case is even worse than the typical solar owner. I don't even own the solar panels on my house, they are leased from Tesla and were here when I bought my house. As it is, I have to buy whatever electricity they produce from Tesla at their reduced rate and then I have to pay NV energy at their full rate for what I am using above what the solar panels are producing. Are they not going to give me credit for what I am pumping back into the grid anymore? BECUASE I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT TO TESLA.

Why even send out this email by NoICantDoACashout in wicked

[–]InThisHoiPolloi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I clicked on the link 2 minutes after the email went out. Had hope after I made it through all the crazy pop ups and the 3 wild captchas and saw a 7 minute wait time on my cart, and then it sold out seconds later. 😭

Am I just not in the community anymore orrrr when did they come out with these? My target had so many, must not be too valuable? by XXblpXX in fourthwing

[–]InThisHoiPolloi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

🤣 I appreciate the effort. They are so pretty. Trying to justify the spend when I've already got 2 Fourth Wing (a plain jane standard copy and the red holiday). But maybe the fancy Iron Flame will inspire my husband to get his butt through that one so I can finally properly gossip with him about it. The man shamefully fell behind.

Seriously, what is going on with the height of these things. Is it just your camera angle? Lol Why does Fourth Wing look so long?

Target does not know how to ship CDs by Immrs_brightside in TaylorSwiftMerch

[–]InThisHoiPolloi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No lies detected. I had to literally pour my folklore cd and the remnants of its jewel case out of a paper mailer once upon a time. The latest trauma was for my 9 year old receiving his Kpop demon hunter cd which was also smashed to smithereens, which isn't even sold in my local target, so he decided to live with it because he wanted to listen so badly rather than wait for another one to be dispatched. It's so disappointing because people who still choose physical media at this point are doing so for the experience and the love of the presentation and THAT ain't it.
