#WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST

[dynamicwinter-blog]

i love stories where Elphaba and Dorothy are friends (:

I don't know where it came from, but several years ago this idea popped into my head unbidden, and for some reason it tickles me. I don't know if it's funny, but I like it and I made it into a zine, I hope you enjoy it.

It lays out really nicely as 3-up spreads on A4 paper, so you can print, staple and fold it, then cut it into 3 zines. It made it really easy to print up 20 of them to trade at this art social thing I went to

Reminder (or fyi for Wicked newbies who have yet to read it): the literal first page of the book opens with Elphaba eavesdropping on Dorothy, Tin Man, Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, and they're talking about how the Wicked Witch of the West is an intersex/trans lesbian. She finds their gossiping fucking annoying, but it is very heavily implied throughout the rest of the book that there's at least some degree of truth to it.

Glinda and Elphaba as that one Soviet-China propaganda poster because I saw AI make something similar and I'll ne damned if I can't do it better and it's also very very real

Glinda isn’t just the step mom she’s the mom who stepped up

Found family? Found family!

I would like a fanfiction that combines the original premise of Oz with Dorothy being a young child (8-12 since it's her book ages and her movie age) and instead of 1900 it's like in the original book it's 1939 and Wicked. Dorothy is worried for aunty Em and Uncle Henri because not only is it the Great Depression and part of the farmhouse is here with her but she's worried because they're have been talks of a potential war (the movie came out in August 25th and the war started in September 1st) but she's worried that her Uncle Henri might be drafted and her aunt might go with them cause what if they think she's dead)

While walking down the Yellow Brick Road Scarecrow asks why Dorothy keeps saying they need to ration they're things? Asks why she's so worried about food? Why is she so insistent on not buying a new dress? You've already re sewn and cleaned those same clothes for the past month. Boq is made of metal and has no clothes, the lion is a lion and therefore does not need clothes, and I'm a scarecrow I can't take my clothes off.

Down the road he begins to realise that this child isn't as okay and innocent as she seems with all of her skipping and dancing with the way she looks out the corner of her eye behind her pigtails or re checks her basket Incase they dropped anything.

Imagine because of all the interruptions, being attacked, the road itself, and then the wizard being a fraud she takes longer to get home. Perhaps instead of two-three months in Oz she's there for two-three years. The shoes don't work and Dorothy believes she's just killed two women even though it wasn't her fault at the time(Elphaba is alive but she's still in hiding with Fiyero) and got kidnapped and locked in a basement and almost burnt alive. She thinks that now she's never going to make it home. But you have fresh food and clothes here do you really want to go back. She can't help but think to herself before snapping out of it reminding herself of Aunty Em and Uncle Henri.

Or if Dorothy does make it home her Aunt and Uncle somehow end up sending her back because not only has World War ii begun but now that America is a part of it and Kansas was essentially a training ground for USAAF bombers and fliers so when she's back in Oz she looks for Fiyero or Galinda and Explains what happened.

Fiyero didn't know a potential war was on the horizon in Dorothy's home world. If he had known would he have sent her back or would he have kept her in Oz even if it was against her will. He takes her to Elphaba and explains what happened and they managed to reach out to Glinda and help give her a proper education, she gets taller thanks to a proper diet, she's at least somewhat healthy thanks to available medicine and hygiene products in Oz. She's lived longer than she thought she would have in Kansas and a lot longer than she thought she would have here in Oz. A LOT longer.

Also potential Dorzma and realising that Oscar Diggs is a name of a guy that went missing a few decades ago that her parents and guardians talked about with their families because this guy with a hot air balloon disappeared in a storm and no trace of him can be found. Obvious propaganda against a coloured women and a selective group of people because I believe Aunty Em not Uncle Henri would've raised her that way. She still wants to meet the wizard in hopes of going home but she's still suspicious because of how she was raised in this au.

I love the folks bitching because the actresses from Wicked said that it's a queer story.

Like, my dudes, the musical is based on a book where Galinda is very much fighting with her feelings for Elphaba.

And if memory serves Glinda in the original Oz series is pretty gay too.

The Wicked Witch Sesame Street Episode

Newly Released Photos of the Banned Sesame Street Episode with Margaret Hamilton/ The Witch from Wizard of Oz. Read More Here:

Episode 0847, The Banned Episode.<br/>

Sesame Street

Plot The Wicked Witch of the West loses her broom on Sesame Street.<br/

Air date February 10, 1976

Season Season 7 (1975-1976)

This episode page has been compiled from materials at the CTW Archives.

<p>The Wicked Witch of the West (played by Margaret Hamilton, reprising her role from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz) flies over Sesame Street and loses her broom. The magical cleaning tool falls into the hands of David; afraid of what the witch might do with it, he refuses to give the broom up. The Wicked Witch responds by making it rain inside Hooper’s Store and even threatens to turn Big Bird into a feather duster and David into a basketball.

<p>Only Oscar the Grouch initially admires her and suspects he may even have a crush on the witch. The remainder of the episode’s street scenes follow the witch’s attempts to retrieve the broom, including disguising herself as a harmless old lady. Big Bird grows to like her, and is saddened when the witch departs, but she drops the broom yet again. The stated curriculum goals of the episode were to demonstrate fear and “the value of planning by creating and implementing methods of retrieving the broom.”

<p>This episode prompted an unusually large amount of mail responses from parents, almost entirely negative, within a short time frame. Typical responses included parents concerned that their children were afraid and now refused to watch the show, using such phrases as “screams and tears” and “the threat of the witch’s power remains in children’s eyes.” A somewhat atypical missive came from a self-proclaimed Wiccan, concerned with the perpetuation of a negative fairy tale stereotype and recommended a segment “portraying witches as they really are, now.”

Due to the overwhelming reaction, additional test screenings were held from March 1 through the 5th, “to assess children’s reactions to the Wicked Witch of the West.” The tests showed that children were “exceptionally attentive during the Margaret Hamilton segments,” and those who watched the episode in color were fascinated by her green face. The issue of fear was difficult to fully judge, due to confusing answers and the fact that the children were surrounded by their peers and adults, and not alone watching. However, due to the parents��� reactions, the letter content and testing observations, Anna Herera of the CTW Research Department suggested “that the Margaret Hamilton show not be re-run.

sorry but having strains of "For Good" sprinkled throughout the soundtrack, particularly during Elphie and Glinda's most important moments - essentially having it be their Theme - was a stroke of genius and definitely didn't rip my heart out every time I heard that little motif

In honor of our very first sneak peek of the movie Wicked, my nostalgia kicked into high gear and I'm honoring one of my earliest fandom crazes with a silly little comic I'm calling "Fiyero Doesn't Get Enough Recognition For All The Shit He's Been Through."

Enjoy Fiyero having the weirdest 72 hours of his life.
