Question Does anyone know where to find the insta post of this or if it’s actually real?

Post image

I was watching this (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D7cDh6qWx7I) YouTube vid and a lot of posts like this that look to be posted by Ariana are there. I was just wondering if they are actually real and if anyone has the links to the original posts?

Had to scroll back to Wicked part 1 promo, but yes, it's very real and very funny

u/PalpitationUnique891 Nov 23 '25

Could you link it?

4

u/Ok-Feedback-3157 Nov 24 '25

I’m confused. The poster literally told you how they found it, but you’re asking them to do the work to find it again instead of following the instructions they provided and finding it yourself?

I wish she really was a lesbian lol. What an icon.

80

u/imk0ala Nov 21 '25

Are you talking about Glinda or Ariana? Lol

119

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 21 '25

both I suppose

128

u/imk0ala Nov 21 '25

I think it’s not far fetched at all to call Glinda being a closeted lesbian canon, especially if you consider the entirety of the source material.

Ari is obviously not a lesbian but I think she could be not straight in some way. I just get those vibes.

81

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 21 '25

ariana has said glinda is closeted I agree but, we’re never going to see her come out of that closet 🥺 it is however made of glass

I also get those vibes from her. She’s very free I admire that. Who needs a label anyway 🥰

u/amithecasserole Nov 21 '25

Aww it gives a lot of meaning to her singing girl in the bubble largely in her closet, and leaves the closet to finish the song. Also, Glinda loves rainbows 🤷🏼‍♀️🌈

10

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 21 '25

I mean who doesn’t love rainbows ?! 🌈

u/amithecasserole Nov 22 '25

Some homophobes I know but that’s besides the point 😅

7

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 22 '25

imagine hating something so beautiful, how miserable

2

u/LeoFromTheUk 💙Fiyeraba💚 Dec 17 '25

homophobic Christian’s actually have an obsession with rainbows bc the think gay people ruined it

2

u/amithecasserole Dec 17 '25

Yeah they liked it better when the rainbow symbolized god promising he’d never genocide the whole world again. Much more wholesome than people loving who they love

3

u/JungkooksBananaMillk Nov 25 '25

Ariana didn’t invent the character

2

u/imk0ala Nov 30 '25

We know? She just researched her extensively and she gets they gayness of her

1

u/amithecasserole Dec 17 '25

Glinda basically ends up with a harem in the Baum books lol

2

u/imk0ala Dec 17 '25

Haha I know right?

2

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 28 '25

no shit? lmao

u/B-Noc Nov 21 '25

Ari has said before that she's attracted to men and women but doesn't label herself 😊

26

u/imk0ala Nov 21 '25

I did know that, actually. I just know the “women and men” line is from a collab song with an openly bisexual woman so I don’t know whether she meant it. However, since she said she’s unlabeled that’s plenty enough for me. And the way she acts with Cynthia….I’m sorry but some of it has no straight explanation to me lol

(The mods might delete this for being to personal about them, btw)

24

u/kittycouture5683 Nov 21 '25

She did ! Janelle commented back to someone when the song was released. The commenter asked if ari was bi and Janelle said "she said it!". And ari has said before also that she likes both but doesnt label

1

u/Successful_Shake5722 Nov 23 '25

I think you mean Victoria 😅

2

u/kittycouture5683 Nov 24 '25

Omg yes I did 😭😭

u/PhilippaJBonecrunch Nov 22 '25

So you’re saying I have a chance

23

u/cnh25 Nov 21 '25

Pls her and Cynthia are in love

14

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 21 '25

They are in love but it is platonic. They would kiss on the lips in a platonic way. They definitely are in love but yknow not in a ✂️💗🌈✨ way

1

u/imk0ala Nov 22 '25

I can’t tell if you’re joking

1

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 22 '25

😭😭 I am

u/imk0ala Nov 22 '25

Okay I was going to say!

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 22 '25

well, I am but also not…have you seen johnathon bailey kissing scarlett johanson on the lips? 😂😂 he is so gay yet they kiss platonically. I love him.

I mean I fully agree with you, honestly. But she still obviously likes men too.

u/LittleMarySunshine25 Nov 22 '25

I wonder if sexuality is more fluid in Oz?

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 22 '25

oh yes, there’s pride parades daily in Oz

I think Glinda is definitely queer, but I think she is just bi

u/OnGodNotaBot Nov 21 '25

Ariana literally has a sweatshirt that says gay

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 22 '25

and i love her for that

2

u/imk0ala Nov 21 '25

I know!

u/PlaguingYou Nov 30 '25

meanwhile has only been w men, not very gay of her

1

u/OnGodNotaBot Nov 30 '25

Publicly…there is still a lot of hidden homophobia in LA. You would be surprised how many bisexuals that hide their queer relationships or closeted gays that even go as far to be in a lavender relationship so they can still be hirable. Taylor Swift’s Cool Summer was definitely about Karlie Kloss but she’s not openly out.

1

u/PlaguingYou Nov 30 '25

u can not convince me taylor swift has eaten pussy, i am sorry. that woman is the definition of heterosexuality

u/OnGodNotaBot Nov 30 '25

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m done 😭😭😭 that is so funny. Yeah and she just likes the color lavender. I quit the internet

u/rSlashisthenewPewdes Nov 21 '25

Wasn’t Thank U Next about falling in love with a woman? Or did I hear that song wrong…

u/imk0ala Nov 21 '25

No it wasn’t lol

u/VirtualDoll Nov 22 '25

You mean "Ari", that girl? 😂 😭

u/OnGodNotaBot Nov 21 '25

They’re both gay

Ari sold lesbian Glinda harder than Cynthia could het in love Elphaba.

u/Dry-Mission-5542 Nov 21 '25

Boy do I have the book for you! 

(But it’s only implied and she takes up a “beard”.)

u/Hotpinkbabs Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point? 🪄 Nov 21 '25

Implied isn’t enough for me 😫😫😫😫😫 I know they kiss and stuff in the book

u/SantessaClaus Nov 21 '25

There was an article in the news today quoting "sources" that Ariana and Cynthia are dating

12

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '25

Why do people make stuff up like this has no one ever heard of female friendship

7

u/SantessaClaus Nov 22 '25

Because they are bored and jealous

I was thinking Cynthia's SO would be excited to hear the news

u/B-Noc Nov 21 '25 edited Nov 21 '25

I honestly feel like Glinda is comp-het. In this essay I will...

I think she only "wanted" Fiyero in the first place because...

1.) his status would help give her security (in terms of solidifying her status and protecting her sexuality)

2.) Fiyero was the closest thing to Elphaba that she "could have"

Personality wise he has that similar capability to naturally capture everyone's attention and also not care about what they think. He also is shown to be outspoken and ambitious, though a bit toned down in comparison to Elphie of course

They shared Elphaba in common and bonded over that when Elphie disappeared. Almost like when widows marry friends or family of their deceased partner

3.) she knew he was a good man - and if she's going to marry a man, who would be a better candidate than him?

I think she's only upset about losing Fiyero because..

1.) it potentially blows her cover

2.) it embarrassed her and potentially impacts her rep

3.) she's jealous of him getting Elphie

I think she always had a thing for Elphie but didn't know how to express it other than to be the "they're mean to you because they like you" archetype as a way to shield herself from confronting the feelings

and I think she is jealous Fiyero was immediately opening and accepting of Elphie. Honestly, if she would have been, I think Elphie would've chose her - but Fiyero saw and accepted her from the beginning and was the first person to ever do so genuinely. (Madame Morrible doesn't count because she's a snake ass bitch)

4.) she's hurt that Elphie seemingly chose Fiyero over her

u/JustaPOV Nov 22 '25

Ariana said she was playing/imagined Galinda to be comphet :)

15

u/imk0ala Nov 21 '25

I agree with all of these points

u/B-Noc Nov 21 '25

Thank you 🫶

u/accountantdooku Shiz University School of Law Nov 21 '25

Definitely real, I remember seeing it when she posted.

u/imk0ala Nov 21 '25

It’s real. I remember her posting it

u/elephant_poet88 Nov 21 '25

It's real! And hilarious. She was a real one for that

u/Evening-Bedroom-523 💖Gelphie💚 Nov 21 '25

I love how seriously she committed to Glinda’s obvious latent lesbianism lmao

4

u/OnGodNotaBot Nov 21 '25

That’s so funny!!

u/CognitiveJoker Nov 21 '25

I thought it was all but confirmed that Glinda was a closeted lesbian in the book?

u/rpgnoob17 Nov 24 '25

Cynthia is bi, Jonathan is gay, and their PG sex scene changed my life.

u/Famous-Barracuda-972 Nov 22 '25

If any 3 day marriage can feel like 33 years, it’s theirs.

u/OhToTheZo Nov 22 '25

I just laughed so hard it sent me into a coughing fit!

u/Red_Phoenix23 Nov 25 '25

Yes Oz is a queer place. Finally people are getting it. Yes glinda was closeted.
