*Agatha can be seen pacing back and forth in her room, lost in a train of thought as she mutters under her breath* I shouldn’t I shouldn’t I shouldn’t I shouldn’t…

So a Girl Genius Scholomance AU is interesting to me because on a character level Agatha is El and Gil is Orion—Agatha very much eschews the path set forward for her as a great evil and instead strives to do the best for her and Her People (notably, she and El share the same “these people are mine, actually, and I will protect them” view of the world that slowly grows to encompass more and more people as time goes on), while Gil struggles to connect with others and is deeply unhappy when doing what is expected of him while eventually going ahead with it anyway. He also has the whole monster hunter vibe going for him. Admittedly, Gil doesn’t struggle in the same way with empathy and connection as Orion does. His is more based on second-guessing others motivations with him, and he does happily and easily make friends—it’s romantic connection that eludes him for the most part.

The fun part is, when you consider their backgrounds the connections to El and Orion completely flip.

Like, Gil and El both have a side of the family that they’re completely alienated from due to bad omens surrounding them, and they were raised in a non-traditional setting by a single parent who strives to do the Right Thing (Klaus and Gwen differ in how good they are at raising kids though lmfao). You can even draw connections back to alienation from their culture—El at least knows where her father came from and speaks the language, but Gil is completely divorced from his mother and doesn’t even know who she is. They’re both barred from participating in their culture for the same reasons they’re alienated from half their family.

Agatha and Orion, meanwhile, were both Created With A Purpose by mothers who range from morally gray to totally corrupt. They both struggled to behave like normal children, with Orion not understanding or valuing human social norms and Agatha’s spark constantly straining to break through. This caused frustration and concern from the adults and mentors around them, and they were both somewhat alienated from their peers. Ophelia and Lucretia both share a certain big picture way of thinking, though admittedly Lucretia’s motives are almost entirely selfish in nature (an interesting contrast with Agatha’s own selfish way of thinking!) and Ophelia’s are pretty damn selfless, though in a very fun way. Selflessness due to ruthlessness is a good way of putting it, and Ophelia very much plays the numbers game in almost the same way the Scholomance itself does.

I’m going to have to play around with this more, because I think the way things line up is fascinating.

(Tarvek is a version of Liesel that successfully pulls off her powerhouse polycule plan.)

IM 20 MINUTES IN AND THIS SHOW IS ALREADY SO GAY

[singing-not-sleeping-beauty]

I'm throwing it out there now incase I'm right

If Joe Locke's character isn't Billy Kaplan or Nick Scratch then he's the personification of the Darkhold

[ginnsbaker]

I'm watching Agatha All Along episode 1 and already, I've seen a scene kinda similar to the new Wanda fic I'm working on. Timing is everything, I guess?

[devflamme]

im so tired of people talking more about the "w. maximoff" in the trailer than agatha herself. like oh my god theres leaks saying that joe lockes character will be using a book throughout the series and that fucking piece of paper is from westviews LIBRARY. if joe lockes character is actually billy, im 100% sure thats his name there - william maximoff, not wanda maximoff. in the day wanda died, WILLIAM went there and got a book about magic. thats it. thats not fucking wanda. shes dead

and about the body in the woods: thats actually agatha. its a spell that rio is using to take agatha out of wandas own spell. rio even says "is that how you see yourself?", as if she had taken that from agathas own mind - as if agathas identity was erased, killed because of wandas spell and mind control.

does this make sense

[a-spes]

I saw an Agatha edit, and well, I have two things to share. First, she is hot as hell, like wtf. Two, it reminded me of that fic' idea that has been on my mind for a while (The Church of Damned).

It's about R being a mutant/an enhanced person in a universe where it is not accepted. So they travel to a place that's supposed to be a sanctuary for people like them without even knowing if the rumors are true. Except it turns out to be a cult. I wanted to make Wanda the cult leader but well, imagining it with Agatha instead (am I the only one to see the vision??)

And maybe Wanda could be another of the teens/young adults being here, and she could be the love interest. I can imagine her and Pietro being kinda mean because they've been here for so long that they're kinda the favorite yk.

[It is time. The sun has set, and a full moon hangs in the dark forest sky. In a clearing, Agatha lights all of the candles around her with a wave of her hand.]

[The ritual is set, and she stands in the center of the circle of candles, holding the partially-wilted rose she had stolen back from Pietro while dressed as if ready for a funeral.]

[Maybe a part of her is about to die, as she’s about to kill off any memory of him that she has. Maybe she’s having second-thoughts about performing this ritual. But, it’s too late to change her mind, the ritual is set…]

*Raises my free hand into the air as I call out* Ali dear! Please make sure all the ravens are in position.

@bird-girl-ali

*Looks down at the rose in my other hand, thinking: It’s too late to turn back now…*

*I kneel in the grass, laying the rose in front of me before reaching out to join hands with Magnolia* Ready, darling?

Me for the whole episode:

Me for the 15 seconds of sskk interaction at the end:

[wndaswife]

maybe unpopular opinion but the interviewers for agatha all along asking shit that keep forcing the actors to hint about teen’s identity and wanda’s return are so annoying like it’s literally just cheap and boring journalism

they know the actors can’t answer it and they’re playing cheap and boring to get views.. and the actors sometimes seem visibly uncomfortable

and don’t they feel bad… like these actors work hard to work on their projects and the interviewers are just sidestepping to talk about some other thing rather than showing actual interest in their hard work and their projects
