I was still in an Oz mood, so I finally got around to drawing my Wizard of Oz AU for GF (I nicknamed it Emerald Falls). I've had this idea for a long time, after realizing that Stan fits incredibly well as the morally grey character of the Wizard himself. While the Wizard does become a sort of helpful uncle figure who learns real magic in the later Oz books, judging him solely on his appearance in the first book alone, he does a lot of questionable things that make it perfectly understandable why adaptations like Wicked choose to portray him as a villain. Also, I'm amused by the idea of Stan stressing himself out pretending to be the ruler of a fairy country.
In addition, there is:
Ford as the lost Prince Ozma, based on Princess Ozma (Ford's journals also take the place of the Silver Shoes / Ruby Slippers)
Dipper as a combination of Dorothy Gale and Ojo the Unlucky
Mabel as Scraps the Patchwork Girl
Fiddleford as a combination of the Scarecrow and Jack Pumpkinhead
Soos as Nick Chopper, the Tin Woodman
Wendy as the Lion (not so much cowardly in this version, but rather secretly stressed out like in canon)
Waddles as Toto
Axolotl as Lurline the Fairy Queen
Melody as the Good Witch of the North
Jheselbraum as Glinda the Good Witch of the South (in the original Oz books, Glinda has a magic Book of Records that instantly records everything that happens in the world)
Pacifica as Princess Langwidere
Gideon as the Wicked Warlock of the West
Gnomes as the winged monkeys
Bill as the Nome King, which I changed to the Troll King in this AU to avoid confusion with the monkey gnomes
Bill's henchmaniacs as Whimsies, Growleywogs, and Phanfasms. It's not entirely clear in my drawing, but in this AU they would appear to be made of rock, gems, and lava. I imagine they would move like how the gnomes were depicted in Disney's Return to Oz in creepy claymation.
Pencil illustration from last year, these character designs have changed massively but it's still somefin I'm happy with :^]
Closeups :^D (points downwards)
Hello I have to let you know and warn you that Unwelcome Ozian has really concerning and serious grooming allegations against them. There's a lot of proof and he doxxed the teenage girl when they came forward. They're a predator and not safe
Oh shit! Thank you for that information. Not that I don’t believe you but can you send me the proof of it?? I’ve followed them for a long time for information on trauma and mind control and as a trusted source of sensitive gov information so I do also worry that there may be those that would want them to not speak on these things and try to discredit them in some way. But I also prioritize believing victims first so I will no longer be interacting w Unwelcome Ozians content. Thank you for making me aware.
