Can we talk about the way the coven is still with Agatha when she fights Rio?!? The protective/banishing circle, the water in the moonlight healing spell, “when she calls you a coward, hit the deck”, and of course Billy coming in himself. They really were a true coven

Thinking about the hallucinations that the coven members saw and coming down on two interpretations:

1) This was the most traumatic event of their life.

OR

2) This was a threatened loss (or in Lilia's case, perhaps a true loss) of the person most important to them.

Sharon and Alice are our two main ballparks for this (while Jennifer gives us another angle).

Sharon's vision was reliving the scene in WandaVision where her husband was choking and she couldn't do anything but plead with Wanda to do something. We know, as WandaVision viewers, that Mr. Davis did not die then, but we also know from the current series that he has since passed away. This scene for Sharon was traumatic, but that trauma was intrinsically tied to losing her husband - the most important person in her life.

Alice's vision involved her mother and (as far as we know) didn't involve any loss of life (except her grandmother, but that is not the focus of the vision) but DID involve the threat to her mother's life, as described by her mother. Given context clues from her conversation with Teen, we can safely assume that this was just prior to her mother forcing her to get her tattoo. We know that Alice's mom is the most important person in her life (which is building on the themes of family and especially mother-child relationships that the series seems to have as its main theme (we know from casting that Evanora should show up later, so they're going full in on this - not the point)) - and while this is not a physical loss of her mother, I think for Alice this specific moment marks when her mother as she knew her was lost to her. Because that's when she inherited that magic. That's when she became something different. Clearly this would have been a traumatic moment at the time, but I'm not sure it feels like one as seen in the show.

We do not know enough about Lilia to know exactly what was going on here in terms of who that person (or people) was to her, but if they're all dead, I would definitely call that a traumatic event and loss of life - for at least one person who I would say is clearly important to her, given she followed them.

Jennifer is our anomaly.

With every other coven member, the threat is not to them personally, but to a loved one, and this, for me, is why I give two interpretations. The idea that they are reliving their most traumatic event is kinder to Jennifer, because an attempted murder by drowning is definitely significantly traumatic (and explains why she jumped into the oven so quickly - been there, done that, not about to do it again).

But the other interpretation is more interesting to me, because if it's threat to the person most valuable to them, then that says the most valuable person to Jennifer is herself.

(Regarding Agatha, this reinforces either that Nicholas is the person most important to her (and continues the idea that her desire for the Darkhold superseded her love for him) OR that losing Nicholas was the most traumatic event in her life. I feel like we been knew on these; it's what this says about Jennifer that was most intriguing to me.)

I remember the night I got sacrificed. My best friend, Needy, and I went to see this indie-rock band, Low Shoulder, in a local bar. Somehow a fire started and everyone panicked, but we got out. Those guys from the band? Totally evil. They were basically agents of Satan. I figured that out as soon as I got into their molester van. Being tortured would make most girls black out or something. But I’m so hardcore, I was with them the whole time. I could feel them gutting me, under my ribs, up into my belly, then right through my heart. But I’m here now, aren’t I? I mean, yeah, it should have killed me. But for some reason, it didn’t. Turns out the ritual needed a virgin, but I wasn't one and because of that I didn't die, instead I turned into a succubus-like demon. Now I have this superhuman strength and speed, and I can levitate and am immortal, which is pretty sick. The catch is that I have to feast on humans to maintain my eternal youth or else I would be vulnerable to decay and death. ‎ ‎ ‎— ‎ ‎ ‎jennifer check, 24, new york city

OPEN STARTER ;; Jennifer Kale

"Now that I've got my magic back, I'm thinking about getting back into the real craft. Obviously, I'd still keep Kale Kare going, because it makes me a fortune, but now. . . Now I can use that to fund the thing that I actually loved: helping people. Hell, I might even go back to being a midwife."

Vax bc Liam cannot methinks help being extremely gay all the time, is the one to bring up elaina most often in far more humanizing terms which is par for the course because he brings her up so often

And vex doesn't much besides responding to Vax or the iconic "do you think this is what mother saw before she died?" and I got to wonder how often she just sits there at this tavern or that stump on her watch especially early on thinking about her and how proud or not Eli'd be of her. Like obviously Vex doesn't like herself at the beginning, she's greedy and mean and callous and had killed innocent people and is selfish and everyone but Vax expects that of her and they don't really care, but at the end of the day she's not just effortlessly good all the time like keyleth, who doesn't even have the decency to struggle at being good and kind and flush with likeable traits,

That's what syldor had wanted of her ofc, what she failed to bring him, so naturally he wishes she was a spot he could just bleach out, so then what would elaina think after all that hard work and sacrifice and the hope she'd had for the better life she and Vax would have with their father, if she knew vex had not only not lived up to anyone's expectations but had done worse

oh I bet it eats her up thinking about the possibility that elaina would be so deeply disappointed ohhh

Ever since Bruce went to visit his cousin he's been eating Cheetos with chopsticks. Gotta say; it's pretty cute.

i’ve never lied on my letterbox's but i think i’m gonna have to because jennifer’s body (x2) but i’m a cheerleader (x2) and D.E.B.S. (x1) in one night is ridiculous

I like to call this the Wife Catalog.

Obviously Agatha doesn’t want to die, she’s been fighting to survive since she was very young. But I still think it’s amusing to assume that when Jen is talking about the poison and says that it leads to death, Agatha tries to break the glass because she doesn’t want to see her ex so badly she loses it

It's always annoying when a work of fiction presents a "revelation" that you didn't even realize was supposed to not be known. In Jennifer Government, there's a bit where this guy is infiltrating the villainous organization having copied the identity of a member of that organization. He meets a guy whose name is the same as his cover name, and a bit later he suddenly discovers that this is the person he's disguised as! In one Ghost in the Shell episode, they're looking through the pictures taken by a murder victim -- in a world where cybernetic implants are common, and which are clearly taken from his eyes rather than a camera -- and then much much later one of these crack professional detectives realizes that there's no camera and this is the key clue he needs to blow open the case. Even if I might buy someone from our time missing that, this guy lives in a world where such things are commonplace! How does he not realize this?

But also we're seeing more parallels between Billy and Agatha and the other coven members.

Jen and Agatha both had their magic removed. Jen's was bound; Agatha's taken.

Agatha, Billy, and Alice ALL have mother issues of varying kinds. This one is closer to Billy because his and Alice's mothers' loved them and wanted to protect them. (But like Alice before her Trial, Billy wants nothing to do with Wanda. She isn't his mom. Except that she is.)

Agatha, Lilia, and Billy all struggle with controlling their gifts. Lilia shoves hers down, Billy doesn't really want his, and Agatha has a trauma congo line of avoidance and gave up a long time ago.

Lilia and Agatha both don't have a coven and find security in being alone - Lilia as a hermit and a fraud; Agatha as a villain and witch killer - living lies about themselves and their magic because it's easier. (You could also make this argument about Billy living as William; he hides himself under William because it's easier.)

what the jewish muses are up to this yom kippur:

bob — he went to services this morning and actually was visiting his folks so it was a whole family affair. they had a big day on friday with a pre yom kippur feast. they’re breaking fast at a local chinese restaurant together in the evening (as has been the tradition for at least a decade). he doesn’t usually fast just because sometimes he’s working but he does when he can

jennifer — she is not fasting because she doesn’t want to and she has not found a good service yet to go to but it’s on the front of her mind that it is yom kippur and she is observing by doing literally nothing. her phone is off. please don’t call

emmett — he’s fasting but he didn’t go to any service and he’s spending the day at home with liam! liam forgot it was yom kippur

bonus: the boyfriends of jewish muses

buck — he was invited to services with tommy and andie and he went and had a good time! he is not fasting but he’s also not eating around tommy and andie. they will all be having dinner together to break fast and buck is cooking! he’s very excited and is trying very hard!

romeo — he’s invited to the dinner and is helping cook but is not fasting and did not attend services (he woke up at 2pm to the text inviting him)

bradley — he’s asking google questions

Hi everyone.. As you all know, I've been working an internship since May and well - it has now become a job. It feels amazing that I get to do what I love & also have a means coming from it, especially when I have my masters coming up at the end of September. But this has also lessened my free time so I'm having to move Jennifer indefinitely to @girldox ! I will be on that blog for the time being. I'll check back here frequently but will most likely be on my multi-muse at all times. Thank you for all the love on this blog.. I could never completely let it go and that's not what's happening here - this is only temporary.

Oh no, I'm imagining SuperCorp AU for Jennifer's Body, tis the season and ending-wise the redemption arc would go over well since it's Kara and Lena XD
