#;Musings: Rio

[florencebirdsong]

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

[aparticularbandit]

It's also important to me that the point of the trial WASN'T to punish Agatha or even to leave her there.

If my theory about Nicholas's forgiveness is correct, it was to understand and accept their sister witch, flawed as she was, and continue on with her.

Billy understood that, and Billy went back to the board. Billy got Agatha to stop.

It was never about punishing Agatha.

It was about understanding Agatha's trauma and helping her.

Just like the other two trials.

Jen with her trauma over her lost power and binding.

Alice with her trauma over her mother's death and her generational curse.

This series is all about trauma and the people who are supposed to help you through it.

THE GALLERY Rock in Rio 2022

I think as many problems Agatha has with Rio taking her son, Agatha's always had a problem with Rio's 'Job'.

Rio's job took her away from Agatha for days at a time, for months, maybe even years. This might be the catalyst why Agatha wanted to have a child, someone who is hers.

This is also why, IMO, Rio felt bemused with Detective Agnes's question: "Why are you here?"

"My job," Rio Vidal tells her, honestly.

Daniel Selon said that as he and Kathryn Hahn talked about costuming and how she perceived Agatha, Kathryn Hahn said she thought of Agatha as a raven. A naturally tribal person who was cast out of her own tribe.

Agatha is a loner, but it wasn't initially by choice. She wanted community and that was initially Rio. But Rio is Death. Agatha will never be Death's first priority, no matter how much they both wish it.

Even before Nicky's death, I believe that Agatha and Death were already having problems because for someone like Agatha, being second place in anyone's life is not ideal. She will tolerate it, to a point.

Nicky though was supposed to be 100% hers.

And then Nicky's time ran out, and Death claimed him.

After Nicky died, Agatha went full ID. She ran towards everything that wouldn't make her sit and feel her grief.

On Rio's end, it seems her issue with Agatha is how Agatha just constantly runs away. Agatha barely mourned Nicky before picking up the Ballad con right where Nicky was buried.

No wonder Agatha was afraid to face Nicky.

And, I think that is one of Rio's issues with Agatha. Agatha is constantly afraid of facing her own feelings.

If Rio ever had a song for Agatha, it would be from Angelica Schuyler's Congratulations or at least a line from it:

You’re so scared of what your enemies will do to you… You're the only enemy you ever seem to LOSE to!

One of the things I loved about Agatha All Along was not only was Rio latina (I'm part Mexican on my Dad's side) but she also heavily drew on Santa Muerta (Holy Death) for her visuals.

(The different color cloaks represent different aspects of Santa Muerta like red for justice ect.)

My headcannon is that Agatha was in South America doing some hijinks when she encountered Rio. Agatha attempted to do a divination con and claimed she could get a favor from Santa Muerta, but at a price. To prank/teach Agatha a lesson, Rio actually shows up and scares away the people Agatha was trying to rip off. To Rio's surprise not only is Agatha not scared of her, but Agatha tries to flirt with Rio. Agatha's pick up lines are in pretty poor Spanish, but it gets Rio to laugh and they end up falling for one another. The only lesson Agatha learns is that one needs to have the people she is conning pay up front incase something unexpected happens.

Do you think Nicky felt Agatha die?

Do you think Rio had to look Nicky in the eyes and tell him that his mother chose to be a ghost rather than be with them because she was afraid of facing him, afraid of whatever he might feel towards her, afraid of her own guilt and inability to save him even though there was nothing she could have done to do so in the first place?

Do you think he finally feels like what Agatha thought she’d done to him many years ago: abandoned?

12K words already drafted for this agathario fic. Jfc. Somebody help me; this is going to consume me.

Hopefully, I can start putting up chapters soon. I just also realized that it will be the first fic ever where I post chapter updates on a weekly or bi-weekly basis (haven't decided yet the cadence).

I definitely want to make sure I do it right, otherwise, the fact of having to go back and edit previously uploaded chapters will haunt me for life. I always catch things on a seventh and eighth review that just don't feel quite right.

I'm going to overanalyze every detail again like I did with Undone. Oh, this feeling. A gift and a curse.

does anyone else have, like, a specific main 3 favourite characters, and struggle between making blogs for all 3 and focusing all their time on them, or having a multi. because i like my multi but i rarely use it, my mind is taken up by the same 3 characters basically so im wondering if i should just focus on 3 single muse blogs and have my multi be low activity/on demand only because i'm struggling to write on my multi. now i'm just yapping

"NO....no, not you again!" Rio said as she recognize that insane aura of a guy

[florencebirdsong]

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

[aparticularbandit]

Also the idea that Agatha knows where Rio is is fascinating.

HI EIN! Thank you so much for asking for both! Natsuki is my most recent oc and these questions help me a lot with developing her, hehehe.

《 Talk about your muse! 》

જ⁀➴ Natsuki

💕 for a love headcanon

Natsuki’s first boyfriend was one of her middle school classmates, Maeno. He asked her out in second year, and she accepted because she thought he was a nice boy.

🍬 for a family headcanon

Her family consists of her, her parents and her older brother, who's paralyzed from a traffic accident he had when he was younger.

🍯 for a food headcanon

The day before Valentine’s, Natsuki always meets with her friends to make chocolates, and she prepares different kinds for her father, her brother, Sudou and his little brother, according to their tastes.

જ⁀➴ Rio

💕 for a love headcanon

Previous answers: [ 1 ], [ 2 ]

Rio often forgets about her phone and can spend days without worrying about it, with one exception: if she’s far away from home or her dear ones, she’ll keep it close to her to message or call them every day.

🍬 for a family headcanon

If you ask Takeshi and Rio who is the oldest twin, they’ll never give you a direct answer. They prefer to let people guess and laugh it off. What does a matter of minutes mean? 

🍯 for a food headcanon

Rio always brings a bento full of her father’s sushi when she visits Hibari. It’s easier to negotiate with him on a full stomach.
