I'll admit, one of your comments made me realize Ironwood was the Tin Woodsman, but I was going to credit you with that realization, so please don't think I'm stealing your thunder when I make a blog about who I think the REAL Dorothy & Lion are. (That is, if I don't have to edit some of those ideas in light of today's episode...) Please, don't think I'm trying to start a fight with you because I'm kinda through with that whole thing but like I don't understand the need of this response to be totally honest. Like really, you could have just said that the Ironwood connection was a good idea and have been done with it like I don't see why you felt the need to put in that you thought of the Kansas connection so long ago. And this is a general thing, I don't see the need to put out things like that like how you may have thought up with this really cool theory, well with the large fanbase this show has, it's likely that you are not the only person who thought of it and I'm sure you weren't trying to be an asshole and just take the spotlight, but like I have seen a lot of those "I thought of it first" things and I just wanted to make a statement about it, I'm sorry that I had chosen you for it but I just need to get my opinion out there.

Yyyyeah, in hindsight, I can see how that can be interpreted... I promise, I wasn't trying to be a jerk, though! I'm an aspiring fantasy writer who tries to be original, but it seems like every time something inspires me, it turns out there's this OTHER thing that came out before I could get my ideas on paper & I have to constantly worry about lawsuits or plagiarism because of poor timing. I wrote this long-winded idea I had less than a week ago, I saw this right after, I went "Crap, if I release my blog, people will think I'm just copying this guy", so I wanted to confirm that wasn't the case. Again, might've been unnecessary, but my paranoia made me do stupider in the past that I'm equally embarrassed about, & I will say sorry for it. ^^;
