The faces of the Wicked Witch of the East (1)
When it comes to the Wicked Witch of the East... well, we don't have much of an idea of what she looks like, do we? Baum never described her in any way, beside her being very old and wearing the silver slippers.
In the Baum books the Witch of the East only appears twice. First in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", as the glimpse of a corpse by Dorothy, an unflattering description by the Good Witch of the North, and a name in the backstory of the Tin Woodman. One has to wait until "The Tin Woodman of Oz" for her to return and be fleshed out more - as we have a retconned and extended version of the misadventures of Nimmie Amee and her boyfriends. And it is by this book that we have the real first "illustrations" of the Wicked Witch of the East, courtesy of John R. Neill.
Tumblr media
While the picture above, in black and white, is known as THE most famous and iconic depiction of the book-Witch of the East, down to being her profile picture everywhere, Neill also did another drawing of her which, when colorized, has her wear as colors black, orange and red... Very bizarre for the blue-coded Munchkin land, but at the same time orange-red DOES clash neatly with the blue of the Munchkins.
Tumblr media
The second most famous picture of the Wicked Witch of the East (book-wise) is this drawing by Eric Shanower, not for a given book of Oz, but for the 1992 issue of Oziana. As you can see, Shanower took heavy inspiration from the drawings of Neill (same hat and scarf around the head, same edges of the apron and the shawl-thing around her shoulders) but simplified it - the checkered pattern is gone, and the long twisted staff became a shorter cane. Also note how Neill purposefully gave the Witch of the East traits that would echo Denslow's design of the Wicked Witch of the West (such as the ruff-collar, that Shanower removed).
Tumblr media
But all of these pictures come from later Oz artists. It is commonly agreed that the original Oz illustrator, W.W. Denslow, the one who gave us the "iconic" Witch of the West design, never did any portrait of the Witch of the East...
... Wrong my friends!
If you check Wikipedia Commons, you can find the picture below, which apparently W.W. Denslow created to promote the 1902 "Wizard of Oz" musical (you know, the extravaganza Baum created out of his novel, and that paved the way for "The Marvelous Land of Oz" to be written). And this is a portrait of... the Wicked Witch of the East, Denslow style.
Tumblr media
A fairly "traditional" witch as you can see, quite different from the more extravagant appearance of the Witch of the West... But a design some of you might recognize.
In 1991, Donald Abbott wrote "How the Wizard Came to Oz". This book is not considered part of the "Famous Forty" as Abbott never became an "official" Oz Historian... But this novel still got some fame because, not only does it act as a prequel to Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" (by telling the story, as you can guess, of the Wizard's arrival in the land), but it also imitates Baum's own writing/storytelling style... With illustrations imitating Denslow' original drawings.
And this includes having the Wicked of the East appear... With the exact same design Denslow made (with just the additional of the silver slippers). Many thought it was Abbott's own invention, but no, he really just imitated Denslow's creation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Later (around 2016-2019 if I recall?), Abbott turned his novel into a graphic novel, a comic which, interestingly, had quite a radical change in design, as this new version embraced much more the MGM movie's influence, resulting for example in the Wicked Witch of the West going from the "Denslow goblin" in her occult-pattern clothes...
Tumblr media
... to a sexy witch in all-black outfit riding her umbrella like a flying broomstick.
Tumblr media
As you can see, the "glamorizing" of the Wicked Witches I told you about before is at full work here. The Wicked Witch of the East, also became far more sexier, going from this tiny crooked crone... to a tall sexy jeweled witch-queen in armored bustier. The comic version also attributed names to the witches: Morella for the one of the West, Malvonia for the one of the East.
Tumblr media
Speaking of comic books, I will conclude this first post with the Marvel comics adaptation of the Baum novels - written by Eric Shanower, but drawn by Skottie Young, and in which the Witch of the East makes several visual appearances.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Young decided to make her a short, fat, hunchbacked hag with her face perpetually half-covered by a hood, which focuses the reader on her large mouth. A design which was made to oppose and complete the one of the Wicked Witch of the West, tall and thin with a great focus on her eye(s).

Moral of the story story: It appears you're asking why some people speculate that Ryo and Embry might be in a romantic relationship.
Here's a breakdown of the potential reasons for this speculation:
1. Close Friendship & Dynamics:
Ryo and Embry are known to be close friends.
They have a dynamic that some viewers might interpret as having romantic undertones, or at least a very strong bond.
This close friendship could lead some to believe there might be something more.
Important Note: It's important to distinguish between canonical relationships (what is explicitly stated in the source material) and fan interpretations or theories.
In summary: The speculation about Ryo and Embry being a couple likely stems from their close friendship, their engaging dynamic, and the tendency of fans to theorize and interpret relationships. However, it's important to remember that this is speculation and not necessarily reflective of the characters' actual relationship.
I ask when?
Seriously, when? I JUST BACK TO TUMBLER TO POST 1 POST ABOUT OZ AND DIE LMAO WTH ARE U EVEN TALKING????????

You guy are not ready for my Oz AU 💔🥀
Of course there are gay clubs in Oz. After all, it's the queer land of Oz, where everyone is always so gay and always partying and so (Okay I'm sorry I'll stop).
On a genuine note, clubs as we know them, were starting around that time. And, the essential idea of them is something the Ozians really love. Getting together, socializing, partying, and lots and lots of dancing.
And under the whole idea that the citizens have so much time to also just, enjoy their time together it does make sense they have some form of a club around.
I'm not sure if there's alcohol in Oz. I assume there is, considering the amount of farmers they have.
Excuse the randomness of this.
~ @Autisticbeanofoz
Not gonna lie, I have half a mind to write a fic set in an Ozian gay bar, I bet it'd be very fun.
I definitely think there's alcohol in Oz, but I struggle to think of any major characters who I think would drink (the Wizard maybe? Dorothy's aunt and uncle? idk).
No need to apologise for asks, I love random Oz asks lol
