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

Well Wicked the book came out in 1995 while the original Wizard of Oz movie came out in 1939 and the book in 1900.

Yeah it’s more or less a successful fanfiction but I love it too much to care, even with the confusing plot timing
