My friend, trans sister, and ozian Zoe O’Haillen-Berne Sent me the most heartfelt gift. My Birthday is December 4th.
She is a Part of the Board of directors at the International Wizard of Oz Fan club!
https://www.ozclub.org/
She and I connected over Ozma. I came across Zoe when she was helping out via OZTALK wth Oz podcast. That can be found on youtube and facebook.
Whever I go if I see Oz things I share them with her <3
She has sent me the most adorable Holiday card. Best witches <3
Along side my first few issues ever of the Baum Bugle magazine!
As well as a copy of Ozma of Oz that belonged to Zoe one of her first books in her collection.
The book is inscribed:
To Precious Ann with love always Mary Jo and Art. -1935
It is the later post Baum Adult Ozma cover @poppies-from-oz Brought up. It is entirely a black and white reprint and is missing a few opening illustrations. It is also really worn and loved; I might attempt to repair some of the pages with glue and brush.
The Harper Collins/books of wonder reprint is the full color version.
But to me this gift means so much to me. I cried twice over this.
I'm so Glad Zoe is my friend.

YOU ARE AN OZ FAN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA okay sorry I don't run into fans of the books often but like, I have been in love with them since I read them back in college (and before that I grew up on Return to Oz), and I feel the same way you do about the majority of the retellings. like please give me an Oz close to Baum's vision of it, pleaaase. Also also also what are some of your favorite books in the series? And favorite characters?
I read them when I was a kid, and it was only about half of them-- I’ve been meaning to reread the whole series for a long time now. Barnes and Noble has those pretty hardcover collections of all of them, so maybe sometime I can pick those up!
I really loved Ozma of Oz as a kid. Ozma was my #1 favorite. I have a hard time remembering most of the other characters, but I think I liked most of them.
The one book that stuck with me the most was one where they travel through different colored lands, I think? And the edition of the book that I read had different colored pages, so while they were in, say, pink land, the pages were all pink. A Google search tells me that was Road to Oz! Coolest concept, I wonder if my library still has the same copy.

Update post.
Ah, yes, here it is. The long-awaited (but not really) update post that I have put off because I’ve been depressed and dissociating and pushing myself into a video game to avoid feeling things that I know I should really feel.
So here goes.
First of all, he broke up with me.
Now, I wanna assure, before things get weird, it’s a good thing. He was kicked out of the Navy because of moderate depression and he’s moving to California coming up shortly to live with family. The reason he broke up with me, is because he can’t worry about two people, when he should be worrying about himself at the moment. And if his letter is anything to go by, he knows he can’t take care of me like I need from a partner, when he barely even has a grasp on himself. And I respect that a lot, actually. Nobody has ever broken up with me because of that. Nobody has ever cared enough. Maybe I have never cared about anyone enough to be relatively okay with it. He wants to still be friends, even! And I am so, so thankful. I care so much about him. I love him.
But it doesn’t hurt any less, at the same time. The day he dropped that bomb on me, I don’t even remember. I said, “Are you breaking up with me?” and he said, “Yeah, I am.” And anything after it is coming up blank. I was home alone when it happened. I had some bruises on one of my legs the day after, so I worry about what I could have done, because I really don’t have any idea what happened. I probably cried. I probably cried a lot. The bruises on my legs have since mostly gone away, but every time I think about the fact that he’s not with me anymore, my whole body just aches something fierce.
After the day I forgot, there was a lot of questions. Does he hate me? Does he never wanna see me again? What did I do to make him want to break up? What did I do to make him hate me? Was it all my fault? There was a lot of anger. I hate him. I hate him so much. I hope he regrets breaking up with me, I hope it eats him alive the rest of his life. I hate our one mutual friend, because they must have done this. They must have gotten it into his head to hate me and break up with me. I hate myself. I hate myself for ruining this relationship. I have never had a successful relationship, I should have expected it. I was so foolish. I was foolish, and I deserved this. There was self-destruction. I stayed up for a couple days, because I didn’t deserve to sleep. If I got tired, I made some really strong coffee. I didn’t eat for a day, because I didn’t deserve it. I called in to work, because I just couldn’t function. After the couple days of no sleep, I slept, as everyone does. I had dreams, bad ones, but I don’t remember any details. I woke up often. Finally, I had enough rest, I guess, so I stayed awake, but I laid in bed for hours. I could barely move, I hurt so bad.
I really debated dying. I took some aleve for my physical aches, and I honestly debated the pros and cons to death while holding the bottle. It was a bottom I never wanted to reach again, but I did anyway. What a low...
Next subject. Despite my depression, there has been some good.
A friend of mine worried for me. She sat on call with me. I don’t remember when, but she and I sat on call for a while until I felt okay. Just for a second, I felt worth something. She really cares about me, I think. I hope. I get nervous to ask if she misses me when I’m gone, because I wonder about that. I wonder if she or any of our friends think about me when I’m not there, if they miss me or if I come up in conversation. It terrifies me to think of being forgotten or excluded. But seriously, she *worried* for me. I can barely even process that someone cares that much about me, but she does. It makes me feel special, especially after the breakup. I’m honestly getting a little bit tearful thinking about how special my friends have made me feel.
I changed my online alias/nickname. Len is a character I associate with Michael, and it hurts to be called that now. There’s a character I really love and roleplay as from my favorite anime, RWBY, named Ozpin, so my friends call me Oz now. He’s supposed to be the Wizard of Oz in the story, because everyone is based on a story or tale of some sort in that series. He’s a very mysterious character who, at first, seems to be a good guy, but as the series progresses, it’s revealed he actually has rather twisted morals. He wants to protect his kingdom, and he would do anything to do that. Even sacrifice his own students. But he’s not *evil* either. He has a lot of regrets about his actions afterwards, but in the moment he does what he has to do, no matter how nasty it seems. I can relate to that. I do and say things in the moment that I regret later constantly. I don’t have any examples offhand, but I know it’s been a thing that is very frequent. I suck at tone of voice and a have kind of a shitty filter, even online where I have more time to think of stuff. But anyways, the point of this was that I go by Oz online now. I like it a lot. It makes me happy.
I’ve been playing a lot of a game called Stardew Valley, and I’ve gotten a lot farther in it! I’m playing a dfab farmer, and I have been making a lot of friends in the game too. They’re not real people, but they make me happy too. The character that I’ve made friends with that I like the best is Shane. He’s a super depressed and anxious alcoholic who has suicidal tendencies. As he befriends the farmer, he lets more of himself be known, until a peak happens where he sits on the edge of a cliff saying he wants to throw himself off of it. The farmer talks him off the edge, and gets him help. He goes to therapy in the next town over. He stops drinking as much after some time in therapy, except on Fridays because what else is there to do on a Friday except go to the pub? Because of his expensive habit lessening, he’s able to get his goddaughter some shoes she wanted. It’s really inspiring to me, even if he’s fictional, that he can get help and work past his problems and get to a better place. He relapses sometimes, he lays in bed all day, and he sometimes can’t take care of himself because of executive dysfunction. But he’s still in a better place. It’s amazing. I really love Shane.
I went back to work. Unfortunately I haven’t done much because hours got cut for everyone. Spring’s a bitch for business. I’ve been stuck on wings, though, and I H A T E that. But it’s okay, I guess. It’s not THAT bad.
And I updated this blog. The URL, the tag page, and the theme a little bit. I’m using Ozpin as a FC now. If I don’t have my computer, I won’t be able to show you, but I will either read this to you on my phone, or direct you to the post. Maybe both. My computer is just getting to be in a worse and worse state physically. I made an agreement with my grandma regarding money so that I can buy another computer, but it’s gonna take a couple months of saving. Blegh. All the pretty things are broken.
Also, fun story, I haven’t been biting my nails through this. It’s amazing. Unfortunately my nose-picking problem persists and has gotten worse. I have no idea if I’ve actually told you about that. If I haven’t, here it is: I pick my nose. It’s satisfying, and the pressure of it makes me feel a little calmer. It helps me center myself a little bit, so I’m not freaking out constantly. Also it makes me feel cleaner than if I just blow my nose. I wash or sanitize my hands after, so I think it’s okay. It’s still pretty nasty, though. But I’ve done it since I was really really young, so I have no idea how to stop.
I want to wrap this up, because it’s long enough. Eventually, I want to make a post about sex stuff, but I’m too embarrassed atm to do that.
So yeah, wrapping up now.
Anyways, here’s a picture of Ozpin. I love him.

#kekepalmer on #droz #drozshow @Regrann from @keke - What an unfortunate and uninspired reality it is to feel that God is a separate entity outside of you as opposed to being the integral part that makes life possible for you. Like, air, lungs your heart. Living in the light is accepting the divinity that was given to you at birth as opposed to hiding your multifaceted self between two bricks like the snake 💡 .. you're a mini creator, "made in God's image" yes? So create. Create knowing this little human you is an expression of something greater INSIDE of you far beyond this material world we often feel limited to. Tis' my mentality #OzTalks 🙏🏾❤🤘🏾#getmybuzzup #repost #reposter #regramaap #celebrities #instaceleb

Main DA games rated by dog presence:
DAO: You help a dog without expecting anything in return, and end up adopting it. Great plot. Dog has its own skill trees, interactions and banter with other party members. Only downside: takes up a party member slot which makes the game hard. Extra dog slot mod apparently breaks the game for some people as well. Still a good 8/10.
DA2: Dog has no skills or banter other than a few cutscenes at home, which breaks my Fereldan heart, but can be summoned anytime. Very good thinking on developers' part. Also a solid tank if you get that one mod. 6.5/10
DAI: Dog is only a dog in spirit, and is also racist. Very bad dog. A generous 1/10 solely because some people still like him.
#dragon age#oztalk#someone mentioned they hope there'll be a dog companion in da4 so i had to type this very quickly

hey everybody!! so delighted to announce that i will be participating in @clonebang as the writer of team 6!!
this fic, “the losing game”, is the deep dive on krell’s battalion that i’ve been hinting at for so long. It has drama, it has heartache, it has the inevitable loss of the clone wars — and the undeniable love that comes with it.
im working with the lovely @whatislifewithoutangst who has even gone to the trouble of making a bonus (!!) piece of art just for this promo! check it out along with the fic preview, and give them some love!! full fic will be released january 27th, 2024 <3
"You’re not on your own,” they assured him. “That’s the good part of this whole thing. We’ve always got each other's backs. Look to your fellow officers for guidance if you need it. That’s what we’re all here for.”
CT-8118 huffed, his posture loosening, the Commander’s calming presence easing some of the anxiety chewing through him.
“Shouldn’t that include me, sir?” he quipped, and Osha laughed.
“True, true,” they snickered, and used their grip on CT-8118’s shoulder to pull him closer, slinging their arm around him. “I get the feeling you’re going to be the nice one, though.”
CT-8118 smiled, a little unsure. “And that’s… a good thing?”
He sure hoped so, anyway.
Osha gave him a friendly shake. “Sure it is. You need one in every battalion, that’s just procedure.”
“Oh, good,” CT-8118 relaxed.
Osha seemed to find that funny, chuckling as they shook their head.
“Yeah, you’ll be good for them,” they said, eyes crinkling with the force of their smile. “I can tell them what to do, Stereo can drag them into medbay by the hair, and all the rest of us can yell and dish out punishment and act tough. You? You can be the nice one. The safe harbor. It really is necessary, you know. Despite what the Kaminoans would say, we do perform better with a bit of positive reinforcement. You get me?”
The Captain blinked. It was like a fog had lifted, giving him a glimpse of a world he had only seen through a dark veil, hiding the true vastness of its expanse from view.
“Yessir,” Harbor said. “I understand.”

your adult sokka is honestly cute but maybe reupload it without the tattoos. Inuit tattoos are a closed practice and you shouldn’t draw them if you’re not Inuk.
oh! i know that as a white person its not my place to really have an opinion on this stuff but,, the main reason i thought it would be good to draw sokka with inuit tattoos was because i had seen support for white artists to do so from inuit creators on tiktok,,,
im from london, where we arent exposed to this stuff a lot, and i know a lot of people from the uk follow me too, so i was hoping that me drawing accurate representations of inuit people could help to destigmatise it to people that dont often see stuff to do with native american cultures, and ive seen inuit people agree that it is helpful in destigmatising it as long as it is accurate (e.g not putting tattoos on children that imply that they are married etc). i would never post anything in purposeful ignorance and always try my best to do as much research as i can,,
i dont mean to overstep and i always want to listen to minorities voices on topics that effect them, but it appears that there are a lot of different opinions on this and im hesitant to edit my art when it doesnt seem possible to please the differing opinions,, when some emphasise importance of destigmatisation and others emphasise the importance of closed practices to the degree that means you cant depict inuit people with tattoos from their own culture. i’d love to have a discussion about this if you are willing, as in the end its my job as an artist to sensitively represent the people im drawing. and of course, i am always willing to edit my art when i know that it depicts something harmful.
but honestly thank you for commenting as it is important i confront these things as a white person, specifically as a non inuk person. i hope you are well, and i hopefully will get a message from you?
