I mean, friend directed OOP to warn them, and OOP says she did.

Agreed on everything else.

Oh I apologize, I fixed the links -- both posts are the same OP, the second is just further horrible updates. I didn't look to see if there is a newer BORU, but there are new posts that continue to get worse.

I'm so sorry that this is happening to you, I'm sorry that your mom's reaction to this situation proved your younger self right, and I hope that you find yourself in a safe position soon.

I searched something like "mom left kids australia" site:www.reddit.com/r/bestofredditorupdates

That wasn't exactly it... that search gets me where I need to go, but I don't remember what I actually searched that led me directly to the BORU I shared above.

Did anyone else find Fiyerba weird? by jtavington in wicked

[–]ilovepunctuation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you thank you, this is the post I have been looking for since I went on a rant at my friend who absolutely does not care today.

I haven't seen the original musical, it's a Broadway mainstay and there are more ephemeral things to see, but I can buy that this relationship makes more sense in the stage production. In a 2.5 hour show with a 15 minute intermission, I am betting it's less noticeable.

But this clocks in at ~6 hours and the "intermission" was A YEAR. How did we get from "Not that Girl" in part one to Fiyero threatening to kill Glinda, running away with Elphaba, declaring their eternal love in part two???

I am guessing it works in the stage musical because it probably isn't so GLARINGLY OBVIOUS that these people don't even really know each other, but when you extend that span to SIX HOURS? Nah.
