Wicked lore says the scarecrow is a scarecrow basically scprfically so he doesn't bleed

Specifically. No idea how Gboard did that considering it swiped "specially" and I went back and tapped the suggestion that said "specifically"

Ok, that clears up the garbled word confusion...

the scarecrow is a scarecrow basically specifically

That's still a mess of a sentence.

The scarecrow in the universe of The Wizard of Oz was transformed into a scarecrow by Elphaba to protect him from being brutalized by the Munchkin guard. He was "human" (or whatever the Oz equivalent is) before that.

Interesting! Is that lore from the original series of books, or new to the Wicked retelling?

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's part of Wicked. No clue if it's in the Oz books

Guess it's time to reread the books! Thankfully they're all pretty short and easy reads.

Different scarecrow

Meaning Batman was right: it's not the Oz scarecrow
