Comment on Brainless: The Life and Times of the Student, Spy, and Scarecrow

    Okay I’ll comment, I thought this chapter was quite good! I loved the idea of him going through the whole lion cub scene with Elphaba. I liked the idea of his parents talking about the Animal bans, and how he also needed to know what was happening. Leading to him eventually helping the lion cub. Then of course about all of his insecurities and how he felt around Elphaba. Those mixed feelings, and then her finally touching him and how different it felt. Him running away, and realizing something was different because of that meeting.

    Also I reread that wedding fic, and I have a question because I’m worried what they’re doing for the movie. What was he feeling standing up there? Like was he ready to walk away from the wedding, or was he ready to go through with it? Like has he been sleeping with Glinda this entire time and had just figured it was time to marry her?

    What was he thinking, staying in a relationship with Glinda that long? Especially if it was “intimate” if his main goal was to find Elphaba? Because I just re-read the Elphaba chapter and it seems she was upset and called him a coward. She was hurt by the whole thing, and now I am too.

      Yay!! As always, thank you so much for your comments!! It wouldn't be a chapter without them! Thanks for pointing out his parents as, because the musical can be rushed and there's only so much back history we see with Fiyero in the movie... I really wanted a solid reason why movie/musical Fiyero stands up, says Hey!, and balls his fist.... AND THEN goes rushing to snag the lion cub with hardly any other information or dialogue. To me, it's all about previous unseen conversations because (to me) you dont go do that without strong motivation. I really appreciate you picking up on that! YAY As to the other two pieces (Elphaba chapter & wedding fic) ill ping you on purple app bc i def. have thoughts. 💙 💚 - Thanks so much again! Yall know how i live for comments debate and fun banter!!
