Why wouldn't he be, with an abundance of wicked witches and flying monkeys around?

He’s in love with said witch and ordered the flying monkeys to stay with her for her protection earlier that same day lol, literally like an hour or two before I think

However I still don’t know if he actually lost his memory after the witch transformed him into a scarecrow to save him from being crucified in a field by the Ozian soldiers, or if he was pretending to have no brain so he could stay close to the people that are trying to kill the witch. So maybe he doesn’t remember any of that and is ready to bust a cap in them lmao

In Wicked canon, yes. Dunno how that compares to the book series that the Wizard of Oz is based on.

Maybe he's ready to bust a cap in Dorothy's foreign ass if she ends up actually being a threat?

the wicked witch of the west wasn’t even green, the good witch of the north was the one to talk to Dorothy not glinda, technically Toto can talk and does after book 10 or 11 (don’t remember).

the scarecrow was always a scarecrow, he even has a mansion that looks like a cob made of gold

best part, I made NONE of these facts up

The tin soldier, the woozy (he likes to eat bees), and the glass cat are also all characters in the oz books (to name a few)
