Default Post 2: Munchkinland and music

Olivia could say, without a doubt, that some of her favorite parts of the film came as soon as it switched over from the black and white. In bright, beautiful technicolor, MUNCHKINLAND was introduced, and with it... awesome music. Just, catchy brilliant songs. EXPOSITION, musical style. It gave the Gryffindor LIFE, to be honest.

".....and Kansas, she says, is the name of the star."

Practically vibrating in her chair, the struggle was real not to bounce up onto her feet and actually begin performing this entire scene. It just so darn catchy... AND THE MUNCHKINS SINGING...

".....which was not a healthy situation for the Wicked Witch...."

Clearly, but that could be called karma, you know. Like, if you did bad things, bad stuff happened to you in return. Olivia wasn't sure if she really believed in this concept, but she'd heard about it loads from adults in her family. Because in general, adults thought they knew everything. Again.

".....And she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead."

... Meaning she was dead. Very, VERY dead. Never coming back again, basically. But, OOH! Another favorite, which was just a small aspect to this entire scene... The Lullaby League and the Lollypop Guild! When she'd been younger, Liv had always been a little infatuated with them because the Lullaby League entered into the center of the crowd en pointe. To be honest, it'd only encouraged Liv to want to dance en pointe that much harder. And... Well, the Lollypop Guild carried humongous lollypops (or the one in green did, anyway). This really explained itself, if you asked her. #CandyObsessed

".....And in the name of the Lullaby League, we wish to welcome you to Munchkinland!"

CUE THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST... and the thievery of the ruby slippers right off her dead sister's corpse. Really, the woman hadn't even been dead a day... Relatives. Well, Dorothy wasn't a relative, but you could understand the necessity that she have them instead of Ms. Gulch, a la green!face.
