Status Updates From Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz

THEY BURNED THE WINGS??? “They had no further use for them.” YOU COULD FLY?? YOU WANT TO REACH THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH. ABOVE YOU. WHY ARE THEY SO STUPID.

You know what, yeah, at this point I’d be pissed if they just abandoned the buggy after all the ridiculous trouble they’ve gone to thus far to keep it.

I can’t imagine raising a baby for over sixty years. Couldn’t be me. This dragon mom is elite.

Dorothy what do you MEAN you can’t say “climb down”?? What backwater hick Kansas school is she attending? And she has the audacity to chastise Jim when she calls Gargoyles “Gurgles”? Happy he roasted the hell out of her for it.

Their thought processes always astound me. I thought everyone would get their own pair of wings, but no, sure let’s just attach ALL OF THEM TO THE HORSE AND BUGGY INSTEAD.

Dorothy needs to get over her complex about making animals behave as humans do. Just because they can talk doesn’t make them any less animalistic. Also, what do you mean you’ve never heard of a cat eating PORK?

No one ever listens to Jim. And ffs abandon the buggy. Dragging it up the steep mountain is ridiculous.

IF THE WIZARD HAD REVOLVERS THIS WHOLE TIME WHY DID HE USE A SWORD ON THE INVISIBLE BEARS???

The way they have to go up stairs around an entire freaking mountain, and STILL expect the buggy to come with them. Insane.

What a random, odd little fellow the braided man is. I love how they don’t question how you can possibly package flutters and rustles. I wonder how their little gifts will become useful later in the story.

Implying that the Scarecrow is a warrior is truly absurd. He’s made of straw.

The chapter is titled “They Fight the Invisible Bears” but they don’t really. They just run away from them and it’s not even by their own cleverness. Some other random villager has a convenient magical solution.

Why would a cat be tempted by fruit? They’re carnivores.

Aw, poor Jim. Zeb is such a jerk for making him think the bears were on his tail. Honestly DESERVED that he should fall out of the buggy.

So the core of the earth had six miniature suns, and now this in-between place has none, but somehow is still lit? Are we gonna explain how that works?

The people of Voe can’t see each other either? How do they not constantly run into each other? You’d think there would be a better way to avoid bears. Also the idea of invisible bloodthirsty bears is actually terrifying.

Poor Jim is so hungry all the time T-T

i continue my quest to read all of these...right off the bat dorothy no longer has a southern accent but her talking cat does, and the 1906 SF earthquake is the catalyst for getting them into OZ this time so perfect book thus far

Now, this one... I'm reading for the first time.

“I suppose we should’ve called for help when they started driving us away.” You don’t say, Eureka.

The Black Pit sounds like a drop akin to a volcano. Not a little cave. Underwhelming doom, to say the least.

The Wizard suggesting they follow the road instead of staying cooped up in a dead end dark cave is ridiculous. That is the obvious choice, guys, the ONLY choice. Why would you ever choose to stay??
