i have art block but i also don't have art block you feel me

[cuntyfieddemon]

I wanna know so bad with who agatha crossed the road the first timeeee and whooo was the witch that survived at the end!!! was it rio??? im not ready to say it was her for sure bc she asked a few questions that made me think she never crossed it... and also i feel like they would have alluded to it while talking together... so who could it have been? i rly want it to be rio but i just dont know!!!

[roots-symphony]

do you think the reason agatha’s trial felt weird is because she was the only one who did not actually buy into the mythos of the road since she knew the truth? like that was why no perspective change and all the other reasons why people thought it was a fake trial

[agathasvidal]

i have a theory that rio is everything behind the witches road. billy’s created the road through a hex? nah, rio has created it and has lured who she needs there, there (we still do not know who the who is). rewatch agatha’s reaction as the door appears and she enters the witches road, and also her reaction to rio appearing after they summoned a green witch, with this in mind … i agree with the theories that suggest agatha and rio created the ‘idea’ of the road to collect their power and bodies respectively - alternatively, i believe it may have been solely agatha who created this lie, but rio knew about it, which would mean if rio has created the road, it’s a massive f you to agatha - a very interesting point to remember when rewatching the above scenes i mentioned.

back to our regularly scheduled rhea brainrot!

some explanations under the cut ^^

top 5 saddest rhea moments 😹🙀

1. Eating her devil fruit

One night, Rhea finally had enough of being forgotten and ignored by her family and ran away to the forest, planning to never come back. She thought that if she was “gone for good,” it would make them realize their mistake.

Over the course of a week, she sustained herself off of the diverse plant life, and learned survival skills by following the patterns of a family of wildcats.

However, only while watching the mother cat gently care for her cubs did Rhea realize that no one had come looking for her. She had purposefully stayed near the edges of the forest, hoping that maybe someone would find her. There among only the trees, she cried until her chest hurt; unheard, unseen, & forgotten.

She spends one more night out in the woods, running low on accessible food sources in the forest shallows. She spots a new fruit that she’s never seen before, and in a moment of naivety, cuts a piece and pops it into her mouth. So shocked from the bitterness, she instinctively swallows the fruit. Effectively traumatized, she leaves the rest of the fruit for the animals and heads home.

There was no one to greet her when she arrived home, no greeting in the following days, no greeting from even the townspeople. No one had noticed she had even left, and somehow, she felt more unheard than before.

2. Learning to be selfish

The Whitebeards notice the way Rhea doesn’t ask for things the way kids normally would. Over the smallest requests, she would avert her eyes and bow her head. When shown the barest act of patience or compassion, her eyes would gloss over a little bit.

Marco, being the one she trusts the most, decided to address this. Through various conversations, Marco attempts to piece together the life Rhea lived before setting sail. She would talk about God and punishment, the sea and vengeance, earning and losing love through action. While much of her worries were padded in metaphor, wether from fear of admission or simply the phrases she was fed, Marco could gather that her sense of self worth was too damaged for a girl of 10 years old.

On a day where Rhea was feeling particularly vulnerable, she finally tells Marco about her family. How she was forgotten in place of the new “first son” of the household; how she made herself small so that, maybe, she’d be good enough of a daughter to be remembered. She laughs emptily about it, claiming she understands the pressures of having a second child.

“Well, It’s their first life after all,” She gives her parents too much grace for Marco to accept. “But isn’t it yours too?” That short sentence is enough for Rhea’s world to break.

She’s overwhelmed with all the things she wants but never asks for. “Tell us what you want, and you’ll have it. You can be selfish, you’re a pirate!” Marco encourages. “I want to have my hair brushed,” she starts at a whisper. Her voice grows louder as she states her greedy desires. “I want to be hugged,” “I want to be noticed,” “I want to be loved!”

She’s sobbing into the fabric of her too-big sleeves by the end, and Marco holds her close in comfort.

3. Father

Her struggle to feel worthy is a difficult unlearning process. No matter the words of support that her brothers gave her, it didn’t make the feeling of weakness go away. When you’re surrounded by men as strong as monsters, it’s difficult to not compare your own abilities.

Her feelings of inferiority are especially supported when she needs to be comforted from whispers of battle on the wind. Too many times has Rhea watched images of her brothers’ blood from the backs of her own eyes. Her observation haki forces her to listen to their panicked heartbeats from where she tucks herself away in the smallest corner of the ship.

“She’s just soft,” she overhears Thatch say, after another dizzying afternoon of trying to press the remnants of wounds not her own out of her head. “I know, and that’s why I’m worried.” Marco responds quietly.

She tries to swallow her pain, make herself tougher in order to earn her place in the crew. She fails relatively quickly, lashing out due to the suppression of her hurt.

Whitebeard confronts her when she’s sulking while walking along the railing late at night. He calls her over to his throne, reprimanding her for her dangerous habit. She’s quiet when crawling into his lap, and still while wrapped into his cape.

“Rhea, did you know, I wanted to say yes. The very moment you first asked to fly under my flag.” Rhea was confused, Pops was rarely this sentimental unless he was drunk. “Why didn’t you?” she asks. “On these seas, there’s no guarantees. I could tell you were a child who deserved a long and happy life, there was no guaranteeing that if I had immediately said yes.”

“I don’t understand…” her confusion and hurt grows, “You don’t have to. What matters is now; and now, I see I made the right choice. I want you here, and I’m glad that you’re my daughter.”

The words from Pops felt concrete, they held the truth that Rhea was seeking. It extinguished her tangled feelings of jealousy and insecurity; The words she needed from a father.

“Even if I’m useless?” “You don’t need to prove your value to be loved! Who do you think I am, Big Mom!?” Whitebeard jokes, and Rhea laughs easy.

4. & 5.? Permanence

Rhea holds onto familiarity with desperation. She refuses to let go of things that are long gone, deluding herself that somehow she’ll get it back.

She had blissfully ignored death, convincing herself that her family was untouchable by those things. Ignoring the signs of age and wear on her crewmates. When Thatch dies, and the Paramount war happens, and she can no longer cling onto childish fantasies.

Rhea’s birthday is shortly after the Grudge war. Her brothers ask her over the snail what she wants, promising they’ll get her anything to cheer her up from their bleak loss streak. All she wants is to go home.

She misses the rock of the waves when she sleeps; The old doors that she needed to close with a little more force; The faces of her family and the easy conversations. Now, her heart twists at the thought of the Moby Dick. The ship sits in pieces under its enemy’s water.

She feels nothing but sickness when she turns 21. The thought that she had out-aged Ace haunted her all day. She couldn’t stand it.

hi genuine question can you just decide not to have adhd

[teafaellana]

Hot take but I see so many people saying that Agatha said “ex … best friend” but what she really said was “ … EX best friend” which is subtle I guess but is also technically different.

And listen, I am queer and I know for sure that Agatha is also queer, and I even did my fair bit of shipping her with Wanda and I even acknowledge that in the end of WandaVision she totally calls her hot stuff and that is some funny gay shit.

But I have a particular bone to pick with this because the way Kathryn Hahn delivers this line and where she places emphasis seem (to me) seem to indicate that she was going to say best friend and thought to add “ex” before it to acknowledge that they aren’t friends anymore since she , you know, TRIED TO KILL HER. Agatha and Wanda didn’t date and this line doesn’t indicate it in any way.

Again, I’ve enjoyed the little haha heehee of considering Agatha and Wanda as a pairing and also love Agatha and Rio and that they are canon exes, and I love Agatha as a queer character even if she is single (and even if she is a ghost!!!).

I’ve also seen a lot of people saying she is a lesbian which is like, fine. Lesbians get a lot of hate and I understand wanting to claim a character that is a woman and has canon love for and/or attraction to a woman. But the reality is that her queer identity is never labeled in the show, and while it is CLEAR that she is into the ladies and that she isn’t straight she really also might be bisexual and frankly she may not be bisexual but Kathryn said “she loves everyone” and “she’s attracted to who she’s attracted to.”

if i were to self-insert into the haikyuu world, i would be a second-year manager for karasuno. it's mostly because i wanna be at the in-between stage where i can care for the first years, be close friends with the second years, and be looked after by the third years.

the first years may be a rough bunch but MAN they evoke such big sister feelings in me!! i would protect them to the ends of the earth <3 (ngl i think i'd get kinda sad if i misunderstand tsukishima's personality at first HDJDJD)

the second years would be such a fun friend group. a balance of disaster duo + tame trio. i need that in my friendship because i like friends that keep me sane, while also having friends who'll push me out of my comfort zone. (i would also pine after ennoshita LMAOOOO)

and OH the third years. i'd love to have them as older siblings, they all make me feel safe. if i feel kinda lost or anxious, i would totally love to have their advice (i'd be super mindful with how i approach asahi so i don't end up making him more nervous hahaha, but i think it would be nice to have his company in comfortable silence)

i have so much thoughts about what kinds of friendships i'd have with the karasuno kids, but that's it for now. aghhh they're such a lovable team. <3

[bluastro-yellow]

get it Kim has a lot to unpack do you get it

it's imperfect I'll never polish it just take it as it is I should have put aerostatics not airplanes...

[roots-symphony]

why did agatha tell lilia the truth about her only being able to steal powers if she’s blasted first if her entire plan was to get them to blast her so she could steal their powers??
