When the good witch tells Dorothy she could have gone home right away by clicking her heels she should have been like "Bitch, well why didn't you tell me that right away?"

So i just realized that after the criticism for using ai in the previous video you subsidised them for real illustrations in this one which really elevated the video now on top of great and interesting narration it also has gorgeous and authentic visuals! I really believe you're genuinely amazing for listening to criticism and improving your content. Really love you for it

Pretty sure Alice found some "special" mushrooms on the riverbed and had a little psychonaut adventure.

"She never goes to church, she avoids religious stuff completely, she won't talk about where she's from, she won't explain who her family is, she sleeps late into the day, and she's only really active at night"
That just sounds like me-

The Wizard of Oz is actually an incredibly violent book. The Tin Woodman uses his axe a lot, and not just to cut trees.

The whole doll thing in The Sandman story really creeps me out. Trust me, I have Pediophobia.

Who ever thought Owl Creek Bridge was innocent? It's VERY obvious that it's a "life flashes before your eyes" kind of story.

In the Wizard of Oz they don't meet Glinda until the end. It is a wise woman that sends Dorothy on the road with a kiss that protects her along the way.

I can’t hear “The Sandman” without thinking of two things:
1.) The Spider-Man villain.
2.) EXIT LIGHT, ENTER NIGHT

What always impressed me about Wizard of Oz; in the book he gave them placebos, while in the movie he gave them recognition.

5th grade when I read An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge and was completely traumatized by it.

Austria being formerly called Styria was brand new to me.

I never heard of the last story, but somehow, I knew it was just him living a dream during his final moments. So sad.

Glinda is truly the villain in The Wizard of Oz…

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge feels like the first non-supernatural psychological horror story

Best thing about Carmilla, that anyone reading it would catch up on, is that its basically a Victorian story about les/bipanic. By the end Laura practically still misses her and can never forget her.
