#dorothy and the wizard in oz

It's never going to stop being wild to me that the Wicked Witch of the West was never seen as green-skinned until the original movie came out, and the look was just so iconic it stuck, and also the movie's still under copyright (including the exact shade of green used for her) which is why more recent movies and productions have to be super finicky with the shade of green they make her due to copyright.

All of which is to say, if I ever do my own take on the Wizard of Oz (og!book version), I'm making her blue. Or maybe purple. I'd go with orange, for contrary funsies, but there's WAY too much history with various groups as being described as red or yellow, and I'm not going to risk going too far in either direction and adding unpleasant unintentional undertones in a choice that's about as deep as a puddle. There will also be no point in my take on events where anyone (even the narrator) makes a comment or joke about her not being green.

Might make a joke about how Dorothy's dress matches her skin and neither of them knowing what to do with this discovery, though.

Also I wouldn't go the full 'the Wicked Witch owns slaves' route from the original book and make her more similar to Madam Mim from The Sword in the Stone in her flavour of wicked/evil, and I would go with the 'Dorothy and the Wonderful Wizard in Oz' backstory regarding the Wizard and Ozma (basically retcons him having usurped the throne), so he's still something of a conman and trickster figure, but still definitively an ally to Dorothy & Co. Not only does this satisfy my own personal sensibilities for these characters, it sets up the delightful scenario of dangerously powerful evil witch versus some guy from Omaha with a quick tongue and a knack for stage magic and making gizmos desperately trying to keep a couple steps ahead of her.

She'd still get melted in the final confrontation of the original story, but she'd also get better later, Enchanted Forest Chronicles style. Dorothy is the only one surprised or concerned by this, but is also relieved that she did not, in fact, accidentally murder a second person. The Witch of the West shows up off and on throughout the continuing stories afterwards as a sort of side menace, maybe she has a domestication arc or something, I dunno, this post was just about making her blue instead of green because of who I am as a person, we're two paragraphs deeper than I planned, I'm calling it here before it can get any longer on me. O_OU

*sips tea* I'm thinking about how Ozma needs Dorothy because Ozma's too forgiving. It's a little odd to say that when Ozma was threatening the Regent of Ev when she first met Dorothy. But like her keeping the man who kidnapped and gave her to Mombi as a Palace Wizard(because he had helped keep her Princess Consort safe) shows a concerning degree of Naïveté. Meanwhile, Dorothy.... has the capacity to be Ruthless

this is old but i was going through old drawings and im deciding to post it

My first post here. And I start this with a meme that I made, which weirdly turned into a semi fanfic. It revolves around an Ozelection but with a twist. Oscar arrives after the events of the sixth book (in here Glinda hasn’t sealed Oz yet), and wins an election against Ozma. Jinjur also runs. The joke is that it was a meme about dumb electorade and turned into a shady campaign by the humbug the Wizard is (act like the fourth book never happened and he never redeemed himself btw).

Just finished reading "Dorothy and The Wizard in Oz"

When will Aunt Em and Uncle Henry realize that anytime Dorothy goes missing during a natural disaster, she's not dead, she's just visiting her hot trans girlfriend?

Dorothy in Wizard of Oz:

gets to Oz by getting caught up in a tornado.

Dorothy in Ozma of Oz: gets shipwrecked and ends up in Ev, eventually ends up in Oz

Dorothy in Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz: falls into an earthquake and eventually ends up in Oz

Dorothy in Road to Oz: just… walks…

I love the way John R Neill draws The Wizard bc it’s pretty clear he doesn’t buy his whole “redemption” at all and pretty much always draws him in shifty evil bastard mode.

Don't think I've forgotten y'all Ozians.

Here's an unshown scene from Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz

When Ozma had excused herself.

Dorothy: *casually reaches over and grabs Oscar by the collar* Now you listen here, you Sham of a Humbug. I appreciate y'r help, but I haven't forgotten what you d'd to my Ozma an' this Wonderful Land of Oz. Ozma's pure, cute, and good, an' Oz's Brightest Light. She's also a li'l naive. So Remember y'r place. If you step outta line or try to get back u' to your old tricks you w'll become feed and fertilizer for a farm in Nebraska. Understood?

Oscar: ....understood.

Dorothy: Wonderful! Enjoy Oz! And remember: No one w'll find you. *walks off to go flirt with Ozma*

The ending of "Dorothy and The Wizard in Oz" is both stressful and hilarious to me.

Ozma: Eureka the Kitten, you stand accused of premeditated MURDER. How do you plead?

Eureka, actually completely innocent: Fuck you, I don't talk to cops.

Eureka's lawyer, the Tinman: My client would NEVER take another's life

Eureka (again, completely innocent): YOU DON'T KNOW ME, BITCH!

The Tinman: *produces (fabricated) evidence to prove Eureka's innocence*

Eureka: FAKE! FAKE! FAAAAAAKE!
