Woah. So tired today, it's not even funny! I was at Expozine today, and i'll be there tomorrow too. I'll do a better con report once it's done. Right now, I kinda just want to sink in a couch with a bunch of oreos and watch My Little Pony.



So, surprising no one, an Oz-themed drawing, specifically, the from the fictional universe of Wicked. I have a slight obsession with all things Oz it seems. (*cought cought Namesake cought cought*)

So, Glinda and Elphaba. Those guys! What can I say about them? Generally, I love them. I really like the musical version of Wicked. I didn’t enjoy the book as much. I did read the book way before I saw or heard about the musical. But I found it to be a difficult and dry read. A lot of interesting concepts. But it kinda sucked away the magic from Oz, and I think i’m a bit tired of the “dangerously corrupted ex-magical world” trope. Not that i’m saying all magical world should be Utopias. It's that they don't always follow the rules from our world. They always get corrupted by like... someone taking all the money, or making an evil government. Oz was already plenty dark and had fairy world problems. It seems pretty awful cool already...

Anyways. Look at these cuties!

That drawing is adorable! And oreos and My Little Pony sound pretty darn good right now.

I haven't read the Wicked novel; but pretty much everyone I know who has read it said the same thing you did.

My Little Pony is always a nice break from work. <3

Like Wonderland becoming 'Horrorland' in American McGee's Alice? >D

kinda. But I guess the game bothers me less because it's not trying to be Wonderland, or the past or Future of wonderland. It's just something else.

I think it's the group consensus that that stuff is badly written.

Ooh, I love the picture and the contrast between the characters. Elphaba, whatta babe!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

:D WHATABABE

Adorable picture!

I haven't seen the musical, aside from some clips on YouTube, but I read the book and felt pretty much the same way as you. :/

It's one of those things that's more popular for the ideas then the writing style...

Defying Gravity!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

*joins you on the couch for some Oreos and Ponies*

EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Loverly drawing!! I love your rendition of Elphaba! I seem to be drawn to the grass-hued folks...

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Same.

I think oreos+cartoons is one of the finest combinations of anything in history.

This picture is making me regret that I never read Wicked or saw the musical! XD
I'm sure I will someday though. Loving the pose and expression on the green girl who I am guessing is Elphaba?

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's her, aka young and not-so-wicked-yet witch of the west.

Lush has a new bath bomb named "Dorothy" and it's in the shape of a rainbow. :D I thought of you and Megs the second I saw it.

Don't die from over-con exposure!

That sounds kinda awesome!
