This is the same paper that we see her get back in this scene, in which we can see this was a large essay too.
There's nothing rushed to her handwriting, this was not an essay done at the last minute, and still, it shows several signs of a learning disability and/or dysgraphia.
Misspells her name in the second line
Wrong and inconsistent pronoun usage
Her margin spacing is consistent with someone who can't do proper syllable division
Immature transcription (see: writes her "um"s)
Limited vocabulary
Shows signs of: difficulty expressing ideas in writing, having a limited vocabulary, mispronouncing words or using a wrong word that sounds similar, and having trouble organizing what she wants to say. Those are all symptoms of a learning disability.
Less of a checklist sign, but her handwriting is very round and careful, while still not being consistently sized (see unfashionable). This and the margin sizes are very common in kids with bad dysgraphia who are made to take rigorous calligraphy courses to "fix the problem". Courses that work on the visual without remedying its underlying issues and causes. Form over content if you will.
Looking at this very blatant sign that she has a learning disability and immediately defaulting to calling her names (yes calling her stupid and saying Elphaba is a moronsexual for this counts), asking how she got into Shiz, or defending Dillamond in doing the very first thing teachers are told NOT to do with disabled students (re: calling attention to it in front of the entire class) is ableist!
Ohhh help help! I'm hurt need help...
FUCK BRIAN GET LOST...
Ohhhh I am hurttttt heeelp... 🐦
Ahahahahaha I’m so fine with this
made a trand with Archie's cover, this one:
love that in the wickedverse, this poor 12 year old is just stuck in the middle of the most insane dyke drama Oz has ever seen
Absolutely certainty Rangi gets angry for not being angry
She will be a little mad at Kyoshi for something stupid
Then she looks at Kyoshi, just there being the adorable cinnamon roll that she is, and feel her anger start to fade
Then when she notice that, she immediate gets two times more furious because of it
Nobody's talking about how Glinda called her "Elphaba" at the beginning of defying gravity (when she was mad) and when she softened she inmediatly switched to "Elphie". It's canon that she calls her by her whole name when she's angry.
Elphaba was kinda insane for telling Glinda to wait for her and then immediately disappearing for 20 years
Glinda is also insane for actually waiting

As a celebration of Of Emeralds and Trumpeter Swans (OEATS) 50th chapter, I’m sharing a project that I worked on with the amazingly talented @vickychendraws!
With permission, I’ve decided to share the commission I got from them of our beloved Ozian witches! Ofc it wouldn’t be OEATS without Birr and Tiger (Lzar) too!
I’m so happy with the result of this commission, and I’m so so glad Of Emeralds and Trumpeter Swans has become a favorite over on Ao3. It means a lot to me, especially when the story itself had a bit of a rocky start.
If you want to support me so I can continue writing these amazing stories for you, feel free to check out my Kofi, but your comments, kudos, and reblogs are just fine too!
Thanks so much again to @vickychendraws for working with me, I couldn’t recommend them enough. And to all my readers, here’s to another 50 chapters 🥂🎉
