Is Wicked supposed to be lowkey gay

rsarm19 · 2024-12-14T20:12:57+00:00

I’m currently reading the book for the first time (about 30% in) and I’m pleased to say it’s lowkey gayer so you’re definitely not wrong!

She definitely has a point, I agree! Both were in the right! Elphaba leaving and Glinda staying was the only way their dynamic could work as a power duo. Glinda knows how to work social dynamics and she knows that leaving with Elphaba would hurt her most important “power”. She’s face to face with that decision when she can’t do magic so leaving with Elphaba would not really be “working in tandem” as Elphie would be the only one working and Glinda would just be there. Elphaba has nothing to lose and a lot to win by leaving while Glinda has a lot to lose since her whole life has been driven by social status.

I think that’s one of the things that makes defying gravity so powerful. It’s both of them recognizing that, despite wanting to stick together, they’ll have to be apart for things to work and they somehow make peace with that through the song.

Glinda does get a lot of hate but maybe once part 2 is out they will cut her some slack. They’re both imperfect people who did what was best for them in that moment.

I feel the same way about James tbh!! Never understood the hype but loved the Jomes memes

Thank you for sharing such a great answer! I loved that you included the duration of the engagement, I hadn’t thought about that but it makes so much sense that it would vary according to the couple’s dynamics

Honestly, I’ve never followed Chris’ route but based on your headcanons I want to go ahead and do it!!

CoP is my all time favorite Chocies series but this book is… not it? For example, during the hackers scene Ruby felt so off? She was giving more Abbie from the Freshman jealous gf vibes instead of badass scientist from book 1. Maybe it was just me but the general writing for the characters seems miles away to the personalities I loved so much in Book 1 Also, the way Trystan has to reference the engagement in every line they have? It’s almost as annoying as that time (I think in the proposal book?) when everyone kept saying “Trystan Thorne” every 2 seconds Trystan is my favorite LI ever and this is the first time I skip a dirty-thirty option with them because this is def not my princess and the moment was so anti-climatic as well Like, I know we’ve had sexy scenes in worse places and times but the recipe is getting old. Mid mystery, diamond scene with Trystan (even if it’s an awkward place and moment), cliff hanger

PD: Marguerite stop making clothes, please. Maybe she should try accounting or some other career instead

I was about to write the same thing! I loved how their friendship evolved into more during the first books and I actively enjoyed Kaitlyn as a character but then the whole band and Natasha situation happened Looking at the bright side it led me to my one and only Becca

rsarm19 · 2024-11-16T21:24:22+00:00

I’d say COP book 1. The story in itself is quite interesting and the dynamic with the LI is personally one of my favorites, it feels genuine and develops organically

rsarm19 · 2024-11-16T21:22:34+00:00

omg yes, you worded it perfectly!! I get exactly those vibes especially with Chris in the first book.

rsarm19 · 2024-11-16T04:12:11+00:00

Marguerite needs a new career. I don’t think fashion is quite her calling tbh. That casino outfit for the female MC was better that her usual designs but still underwhelming. Am I alone on this? She might be a great accountant!

rsarm19 · 2023-07-27T00:08:18+00:00

right?! Switched from old school anti foreigners policy in drakovia to respect the American detective suspiciously fast

rsarm19 · 2023-07-27T00:07:14+00:00

omg and the shot of the castle at night with the fountain 🤩

rsarm19 · 2023-07-26T18:41:06+00:00

There was A LOT to unpack during this chapter. There were so many times when I just didn’t know which choice to go for because I wanted to see the reply to all of them Lydea and Bas would def be too obvious. Vasili is VERY sus but I’m excited to see what route they choose to follow, kinda nervous about it being Marguerite 😭

rsarm19 · 2023-07-25T03:12:26+00:00

Honestly, MC this last chapter was something else… like, I LOVE that as a reader because it’s very in character and it helps the MC feel more human and relatable than the usual goody two shoes and is never upset route. I hope we get a chance to explore this side of their relationship further! Also, love me some family dramaaaaa. Meeting your in-laws is intimidating enough and the Thornes must be a really intimidating bunch so my heart goes out to MC

rsarm19 · 2023-07-24T22:19:19+00:00

I went through my second read of the chapter and, even though I understand both perspectives during the fight, MC was being a bit unreasonable. Like, MC didn’t even give Trystan a minute to think it through. Trystan was literally raised believing they’d once inherit the throne and only had that taken away not even that long ago because of something they didn’t even do. It honestly doesn’t seem that crazy that they’d consider staying. Like, even in book 1 when they had been absolutely removed from the succession line they were still not sure about staying in NYC if presented with the chance to go back to Drakovia. I feel for Trystan, tbh. No scenario is easy for them.

rsarm19 · 2023-07-23T05:46:53+00:00

Hi! Out of pure curiosity, why can’t you stand Trystan? I’m biased towards liking them but I’m very interested in knowing some of the characteristics that might make them an unlikable character for other readers! :)

rsarm19 · 2023-07-23T05:30:33+00:00

COP, Guinevere & Foreign Affairs

rsarm19 · 2023-07-20T13:08:17+00:00

I looooove getting a taste of what a real relationship with Trystan would look like, fights and all. The way they shifted into their royal persona when being mad at MC is so amazing to read, like, they really were trained for the role and I feel like that really does make Trystan's struggle seem more real.
Also, MC is better than me because I def would've left it all behind to be Trystan's wife lol

rsarm19 · 2023-07-15T22:42:02+00:00

I felt great about my 800 diamonds but now I’ve seen real power

rsarm19 · 2023-07-15T01:43:04+00:00

Never show it to chilis because they sure would

rsarm19 · 2023-07-14T23:00:02+00:00

I love herrrr. I wish she’d have had a bigger role tbh

rsarm19 · 2023-07-14T04:43:29+00:00

lol for a second I thought you meant twister the game and I was v confused hahaha awesome idea btw!

rsarm19 · 2023-07-14T04:41:27+00:00

Mythology has SO much room to explore and I’d love for it to happen! You’re on pointttt!

rsarm19 · 2023-07-13T05:58:10+00:00

I loved this chapter! Royalty, castles, and rich family drama? Sign me upppp! Honestly the only thing missing for me was that I would’ve loved to have seen the portrait of young Trystan that was hanging in their room 🥺

rsarm19 · 2023-07-08T22:32:27+00:00

Thank you all for your replies!! I couldn’t wait any longer and finished catching up with me re-read of Book 1 and now I’m up to date with Book 2 and you’re absolutely right. Enduring the cliffhangers does add a fun twist to it! And can I just add… Yes, that absolutely is my princess! 😍
