"Perhaps, thought Nanny, little green Elphaba chose her own sex, and her own color, and to hell with her parents."

It's crazy how Turtle Heart and Melena have been canoodling for months and Frex hasn't said a thing. It's assumed that he doesn't know. Even Nanny knows.

i appreciate that the chapter, geographies of the seen and unseen, was dedicated to introducing different religions and simplifying the world map

It's crazy how Turtle Heart fucked Melena in all different kinds of ways and now, that same evening, he's having dinner with her and her family (Frex, Elphaba, and Nanny)

"I to think all Munchkins to be shorter than I or you."
"The peasants, the farmers, yes," Frex said, "but anyone with bloodlines worth tracing married into height somewhere along the way. And you? You're from Quadling Country."


> This is literally Invader Zim

I think it's so fucking funny that Turtle Heart (aka the Quadling Glassblower) used divination to determine how much time he and Melena has to canoodle before her husband got home.

Oh, Melena is just drunk and high on drugs again. Classic Melena

"'Shall we go walk by the edge of the lake today and maybe you'll drown?'"

WHAT THE FUCK MELENA

Like, I know she wasn't the first to consider killing Elphaba, but still. You kept this thing alive for a year and a half yet you still wish for its death?? Just give her away at this point. Geez. No one deserves a parent like that

"She would go mad; the world was nothing but water and want. If a frolic of elves scampered through the yard she would leap on them for company, for sex, for murder."

Melena... Melena what the fuck... Get a hobby Melena. Using beings you perceive as lesser as playthings isn't what well-adjusted adults dream of... not even as a joke. (Typical behavior of a rich brat. I would sympathize since you're a lonely ->
