I'm so here for fantasy shows starring middle aged or older women who get offended when you think they're young ("you don't look a day under 450" Lilia I love you so much) I'm here for fantasy shows where the youngest woman is in her late thirties (Jennifer and Rio my beloveds) I'm here for fantasy shows where the prophecy doesn't kick in until she's 28 (Emma Swan you will always be famous) I'm here for fantasy shows made for women I'm here for fantasy shows that don't worship youth and demonize aging I'm here for fantasy shows where women aren't jealous of each other's looks or competing for the crusty male main character's interest I'm here for fantasy shows where women are allowed to be unhinged (Agatha and Regina I will always defend your wrongs my queens) give me more please please please

Lilia: And who is this woman with you Agatha? Someone you picked up off the street?

Agatha: This is my pet, say hi pet

Y/n:…What?

Agatha: do what I say

Y/n: 🙄 Hi Miss Lilia

Lilia: Hmm interesting, she’s so obedient, how fun

Agatha: She’s mine, don’t get any ideas

Lilia: Oh I would never Agatha, last time someone did that, we never heard from her again

Agatha: Correct

Y/n: why is that so hot?

After reading the theory in my original post’s comments;

I decided to visualize the possible connection between the different handwritings

I’m pretty sure the last three letters, O-D-E, are all Agatha though

Agatha All Along, the highly anticipated follow-up to WandaVision, begins airing this week on Disney+. Now is the perfect to revisit some important information about both shows and the context in which some of Agatha's new characters are being introduced.

WandaVision primarily followed the character Wanda Maximoff and expanded on her family history by introducing her late parents as well her twin sons, who are born from magic and age rapidly over the course of the series.

In the Marvel comics source material, Wanda is part of a large, multigenerational family of Jewish and Romani characters whose stories frequently reflect the systemic violence and oppression that both communities face-- including Romani Holocaust victims, who are critically underrepresented in both education and media. In the MCU, these identities and histories are completely erased, and the characters are all played by white actors. Alternate versions of these characters also appear in the Fox X-Men films, and are similarly whitewashed.

The Romani people are a racialized minority that originated as a South Asian diaspora, and who face severe systemic oppression in Europe and North America. The modern Romani population is quite diverse, but they are not of white ethnic origin, and despite the fact that Wanda and her family have historically been drawn with white features, they are minority characters and ought to be considered as such.

Depictions of witches and witchcraft are often entwined with antisemitism and anti-Romani racism. In pop culture, witches and fortunetellers are typically portrayed as visual stereotypes of Romani women. In the real world, fortunetelling is a profession born from survival work, one which Romani families are often heavily policed and racially profiled for practicing. While Wanda usually subverts these tropes, they are often played straight elsewhere in the superhero genre, and any story about witches, especially one featuring Romani characters, needs to be critiqued in this context.

Agatha All Along introduces viewers to a new cast of characters, including Lilia Calderu, played by Patti LuPone, and the enigmatic "Teen", played by Joe Locke, who is heavily speculated to be an incarnation of Wanda's son, Billy.

In the comics, Lilia is a member of a prominent Romani family in Wanda's community. Often lauded as the "witch queen of the gypsies," Lilia embodies many racial stereotypes about Romani women. In Agatha All Along, Lilia is depicted as an older Sicilian woman, however, being portrayed as a batty fortuneteller with a tawdry psychic shop, she still embodies an offensive trope. Although Lilia is far from "good" representation, this is not an improvement-- if anything, it's even more exploitative.

Billy was raised in a Jewish American household and places a very strong emphasis on his Jewish identity, in addition to having Romani heritage. His identity as a young gay man is always presented in conjunction with this heritage, not in spite of it. Though there is a significance to Locke being a gay actor playing a gay character, his casting-- if he is indeed playing Billy-- is not authentic. White gay representation should not supersede racial inclusivity, and it is not an excuse for whitewashing or Jewish erasure.

Marvel Studios recently announced that the character Doctor Doom will be played by Robert Downey Jr., who is returning to the franchise after many years in the role of Iron Man. In the source material, Doom is also a Romani character with a very similar background to Wanda's. This identity is central to Doom's character-- although he is written to be both morally and politically challenging, the liberation of his people has always been a primary motive.

Clearly, this type of whitewashing is an ongoing pattern in the MCU franchise. Although "Teen's" identity is still unconfirmed and Lilia may, ultimately, be of little consequence, they are part of a larger problem, and Agatha All Along needs to critiqued in that context.

Poor Sharon, she probably thought Agatha was still crazy and wanted to be there for her and in return got inducted into a death mission with witches

[lanfear-is-my-darkmistress]

I'm gonna need Agatha to work on her recruiting skills if that's the case. Of course Wanda wasn't interested she's was being mentally tormented by Agatha 😂😂😂😂
