Wicked The Book - Tumblr Posts

about gelphie: I know maguire went viral for writing “GELPHIE IS REAL” when signing someone’s book, but gelphie isn’t “official” in the books. Like, they never explicitly “date.” Elphaba kisses Glinda on the mouth, and they “sleep together” on the way to the EC, but I’d say it’s a stretch calling them “official” in the books - and I’m a Gelphie shipper myself!!

I kinda assumed that they never actually went out, I don't think they would've had time to try while keeping that storyline tbh.

When I said official I meant that they kissed, as like a "oh they actually did have feelings" and as "they're officially queer". Like officially lgbtq not officially dating if that makes sense :)

Sorry if the post didn't sound like what I meant and thank you for giving me more information! I haven't read the book yet (I have it, I just don't read much) so I'm going off the musical and what I've heard people say.

Generally if a ship kisses, it gets called official because they do officially like eachother iykwim
