Wicked craze has undeniably taken over, and evading incessant pop-culture nods to the Land of Oz, Elphaba, Galinda, and the outstanding Bowen Yang in what might be the campiest side character ever is getting increasingly tough.

This specific meme derives from a discussion featuring Wicked stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo with Out journalist Tracy E. Gilchrist, who remarked to Erivo: “Recently, people seem to be engaging with the lyrics of ‘Defying Gravity’ and capturing strength from it.” Is this a bizarre way to explain…people tuning into a song? Absolutely. Will I be parrotinng “capturing strength from it” all through the festive season? Naturally. I am part of queer media, after all!
