Reddit user @kitz2103 shared his 'Wizard of Oz'-inspired homemade costume to cheer up his wife who suffers from a chronic illness.

A loving and very creative husband took to Reddit to show off the Wizard of Oz-themed costume he made for his bedbound wife, and the internet lost its collective mind.

Reddit user @kitz2103 explained that his wife, Dianna Cowern (aka The Physics Girl), loves Halloween, but a chronic illness had left her unable to leave bed to celebrate. So he brought the celebration to her.


He wrote:

"My wife has been bedridden with a severe illness, but she loves to dress up for Halloween. So I made this costume for her."
"Seeing her smile made the under the fingernail cardboard paper cut almost worth it."

The man noted that he made the costume, but the idea was all his wife's. Since she's bedridden, she decided to dress as The Wicked Witch... of the East. Yes, the one that got crushed by a house.

The photos showed striped stockings and ruby red slippers peeking out from under a cardboard house that had clearly been battered by a harsh tornado landing.

Viewers were just as blown away as the house that flattened the witch.

By the looks of it, we'd say she approved!

Cowern's husband also posted pics, on her behalf, to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, where she has been open about her struggle with long Covid.

Viewers there were equally impressed.

Just fantastic. Well done!

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
