a thought: listening to music like taking a potion. it gives you a status effect for a period of time, like strength, endurance, speed, etc, and lasts for as long as the song does. volume would be the same as the potency of the potion, but it might have side effects like an awareness debuff, or a buildup of tolerance
i'm still thinking about wicked's finale. glinda's last spoken dialogue is "i'd like to try to be glinda the good" because that's what elphaba wanted for her, to do everything elphaba couldn't do and make the world a better place. she's carrying out elphaba's wish and in a way honoring her, even when that's not what either of them want, even when the only thing they both want is to be together again.
and elphaba DOES want to be with her again. her final dialogue is literally "i only wish that glinda could know that we're alive." and the last thing she sings is the reprise of for good. even in the last moments of the show she's thinking about glinda. only glinda.
then glinda starts the reprise, and elphaba answers. they think about each other until the end. their very last lines are for each other.

always frustrating when you try to raise a point that is fucked up about Society with someone and they reply "it's always been like this". Yeah, and? Don't you want society to be better? "It's always been like this though" BUT THATS NOT THE POINT? ISNT THAT FUCKED UP THAT ITS LIKE THIS?
