When I say I love the gay witches, I have to clarify now if I mean Dovesso or Agathario, and I think that's beautiful

One of my favorite things about Agatha is how, in WandaVision, she was the only person who was in all the sitcoms of her own free will.

Meaning, all the jokes were hers, not the result of a sitcom spell. She is just that funny all on her own.

Ok last post about Agatha All Along (maybe) but I wanna admire how the town just let Agatha do her curse bullshit for 3 years and even took care to deliver her groceries. Like the scene where Agnes yells in the library was real and Dotty just had to entertain her. When the chief told her to go home? Yeah that was probably real he just needed this senile woman to return home. Even Sharon/Hart was kind enough to gently remind her of her real name.

They probably thought Agatha tried to save them from Wanda and decided the least they could do was take care of their nosey and occasionally delusional neighbor.

me at the concert bc i love live music but have the loud sounds make me evil kind of autism:

[blep9999]

did you do anything in particular to prepare yourself for this role?

DENCH: i painted. i thought, wow, lucian's a painter. i want to make sure that my painting looks good […] i remember before i met him, i messaged assad to ask him if i could paint him. i think in hindsight, it's probably the most pretentious thing i've ever done for anyone because he didn't even know me. he just knew there was this random guy that you'd be working with, from whom you get this message saying that he wants to paint him. i think that must have been really weird for him, but i did paint him. it was fun.

Armand: And then I start the music and you enter the living room singing: "I'm Slim Shady, yes! I'm the real Shady"

Rashid:

[blep9999]

They actually call him Real Rashid. I accept this headcanon until proven otherwise. Possibly after that as well.

One day his employers just stared calling him Real Rashid after one too many awkward oopsie roleplay SituationsTM.

The man will now answer Real Rashid when you ask for his name. To mild confusion of coffee shop employees and pizza delivery people. He started answering his phone with 'Real Rashid speaking', in related news his mother doesn't speak to him anymore. Armand had all his legal documents updated behind his back.

A while ago I saw a post making the metaphor that Armand was a tiger who really really wanted you to put him on a leash but he was still. You know. A tiger. So if you don't put him on a leash he's going to eat you. And while that mental image is very funny its always struck me as such an oversimplification of what was actually going on in Paris which was more like

Okay so imagine you're roaming through the countryside and you find this tiger who is guarding a herd of goats. And you're like hm. That's weird. Tigers aren't known for doing that. And you talk to the tiger and it turns out he HATES guarding the goats and he's a little bit afraid of the goats also. And you're like my dude why do you not just eat the goats. And he explains to you his very sad tragic backstory about how he was kidnapped and sold to a circus as a cub and they used his fear of fire to train him and eventually he was so broken in by being threatened and burned all the time that they were able to just abandon him here in the countryside with these goats and tell him to guard them, knowing that his lingering fear would keep him in line even after he was away from them. And this tiger looks at you with his big sad eyes and says im sorry about the goats and how they want to kill you but I'm just still really fucked up about the circus, you see. And what do you say in response to this, hm? Do you offer to help the tiger in any way? No, of course not. That would be silly. "You know who used to work in a circus?" you say, striking a match, "Me!"

pov: you're louis spotting these two at the VL show afterparty

Sometimes having a couple Art History degrees is useful when watching a series or, at least, makes things more interesting. I've been thinking about potential series canon for future seasons and how perfectly Assad's casting and Armand's updated/modified history can still fit with Andrei in the books.

The name Arun that they chose for him is actually a Hindu name, but his timeline aligns with the beginnings of the Mughal Empire in 17th century India. So let's assume they keep the artist theme for Arun (pre-Amadeo) like it was in the books, how perfect would it be that he converted from Hinduism to Islam before he left India? I envision illuminated manuscripts of the Qur'an that he painted and tracked down over five centuries later. Like these pictured below from past Sotheby's auctions, they exemplify Anne's descriptions of the religious ikons "not painted by human hands" even if Islam is iconoclastic.

Full volumes under glass, framed single sheets from long-damaged copies, I can picture so many versions of these illuminations that he might recover and deem precious simply because they came from a time that appears (to him in hindsight) to have more freedom than anything he knew for centuries later.

This part is pure conjecture (and a bit of hope): if his parents were Hindu, maybe he converted to Islam on his own. I doubt it based on his age at the time he was sold (15 years old in the series). But I would love it for him if, after centuries of forced belief in a system based on a response to Catholicism, he was able to go back to a religion that provides him some comfort. Anne wrote Armand as one of the more religious of her characters and I trust these show runners implicitly - I believe they will exceed my expectations. I need Armand to have something that is his, truly and completely his.

girl whenever i look at assad zaman i genuinely feel like i'm on the brink of death wym there are people who experience aesthetic attraction in a normal moderate way and not in a I Will Leave This Earth If I Look At You Too Long way

[blep9999]

one of the reasons it took me so long to figure out i was a lesbian is because i find a large handful of fictional men and celebrities extremely attractive, but i have never been more attracted to a man as i have been to Assad Zaman he is the most attractive man i have ever seen in my life, every time i see that fucking scene of him as Armand in that slutty white button up with like 5 buttons undone i lose my goddamn mind im asexual but i need that man carnally every time i look at him i feel the need to bite something so i dont starts screaming him as Armand makes me feral, I want to lick him oh my god i wish i was daniel in that one scene so he could cradle me in his arms and then bite my neck i cannot stop thinking about this man i cant look at him without giggling blushing and kicking my feet im losing my mind
