if i wasn't ace/aro the line 'I love you so much it scares me half to death. The other half I guess I'm giving to you.' would be on the fucking top of my list i swear

okay so ik i just rebloged a post talking abt this in a joking way but i think its very intresting if you look at "not that girl" through the lense of elphaba projecting her feelings for glinda onto fiyaro due to comphet. Theres the whole thing with elphaba not mentioning anything she finds attractive about fiyero but there being a whole verse describing how beautiful glinda but its also easy to see it that way if you look at the song as a whole.
The song is all about how elphaba feels like her chances of romance are unlikley and how she shouldnt even hope for romance, and while its franed in the context of her having feelings for fiyero, again, the lyrics are relativly vauge and so its very easy to see this as elphaba simply prohecting her feelings for glinda onto fiyero due to comphet.
The song also has a section were elphaba directly compares herself to glinda (again, were she describes how beautiful she is) and while this could be seen as her having feelings for fiyero and compairing herself to glinda who he is dating, i find it quite intresting how she shows no feelings of resentment toward glinda in this section. Again, this could just be becuase the two arw friends, but it could also be that elphaba is, due to comphet, is prohecting feeling romanticly inadiqute when compared to glinda onto fiyero and the idea of her having romanitic feelings for him, when in reality the reason she feels that way is because she has romantic feelings for glinda and feels like the chances of glinda liking her back are unlikley becuase she feels like she glinda is more beautiful and worty of love than her ad she wasnt meant to even experience love regardless of how much she might want it.
Anywayy i just think thats intresing yknow
