I'm so happy with how this turned out!!

Almost 3 hours of work 🫩

​I photoshopped this and adjusted the filters to give it a nostalgic Wizard of Oz vibe while still using a Wicked poster. After mixing the two, I decided to order one of those custom canvases from Amazon as a gift for my mom. Even though I didn’t paint it myself, I wanted to give her something that combined her love of art with our shared obsession for all things Wizard of Oz.

I’ve Got a Wicked/Wizard of Oz Fanfiction in the Works

I’ve recently started working on a Macro/Micro fanfic where a reader insert meet the Wizard (the reader is the Micro, while the Wizard is the Macro). As of now there’s only 2 chapters, but more will be added as time goes on!

I've read Leonie Swann’s novel Three Bags Full, which the new movie 'THE SHEEP DETECTIVES' is based on... but I don't remember this from the novel.

But in a review for the film, AVClub noted that the film is set in the fictional town of "Denbrook, a small English town where the dimbulb locals, amusingly and inexplicably, are huge fans of the movie Return To Oz. "

Has anyone seen the film yet?

I am starting an audiobook reading series on my youtube channel. I am planning to try and read all 14 canon books eventually. I am sure you guys see stuff like this a lot but I thought it anyone would be interest it would be this crowd!

It's common knowledge to Oz fans that Glinda the Good Witch of the North in the most famous movie (and subsequently most adaptations that reference it) is a composite of the books' Glinda the Good Witch of the South and the originally unnamed Good Witch of the North (named Locasta or Tattypoo depending on which Royal Historian you look to).

I recently read a comment that described the movie's Glinda as fairy godmother rather than regal sorceress, and it clicked that that's the vibe I get from GWN/Locasta/Tattypoo. She gives comfort and advice that's somewhat cryptic but turns out for the best, showing up when Dorothy needs her. The 1902 musical, which gave her the name Locasta, also has her show up to help Dorothy at all the same times that Glinda does in the movie: on arrival, sending snow to wake her from the poppy field, and at the end to send her back to Kansas when all seems lost.
