#and thinking about colors

[agentem]

Another thing about Agatha All Along I have a question about is the colors of magic.

Each of the witches in the Coven have a different color of magic. This is a good idea so visually you know who is doing things when characters fight.

But it's also implied by the trials and the ballad that different types of magic are associated with different colors. Like green witches have green magic. But I would like to know if the color is because of the type of witch they are or just, like, the color of their soul--who that character is.

Like Wanda has red magic. Alice is also associated with the color red, but it is slightly orange-r, if that is a word. Hers is more like a flame, than a straight bolt of red. The show is purposeful about that. The leaves on the way to the fire trial are orange and red too, whereas the leaves on the rest of the road are varying shades of blue, purple, yellow, and green. But they are all one color, you know?

Most of the covens that are shown all have the same color: the Salemites from WandaVision have blue magic, the first Coven Agatha kills (with the woman who barged up to her at Nicky's grave, fuck that lady) have yellow magic, the murdered Victorian coven has orangey magic, the murdered 30s/40s Coven has blue magic, [i can't see the color of the magic of the 80s Coven)

But "our" Coven is many different colors. They are a rainbow. Are they unique? Or are most covens of all the same type of magic user?

There is something about how Agatha's magic is purple and the Salemites have blue, that makes me think that is how they know she is the "wrong" type of witch. Or Agatha did something to make her magic purple? Or did they just want to kill her because she was (naturally) different?

And, if Billy has blue magic, does that mean his magic is similar to Agatha's mother? (Billy's is a darker shade so we might be in the Wanda's magic vs. Alice's magic situation. Maximoffs are just so special they get their own magic?)

But then if Agatha learned blue magic--or whatever it is called--growing up, is she a good person to teach him? Or is his a darker shade of blue so it's not the same kind of magic? Or is this just a visual language that says nothing about the type of person or magic the person wields?

Can we assume the yellow coven, with the bitch who interrupted Agatha's funeral for her son, was a coven of divination witches? Maybe she was bopping around time and didn"t realize how rude it was to interrupt a funeral? Wow now I am the bitch.

Jac Schaeffer called Agatha a "spirit witch." Are there other spirit witches with purple magic? Or is it just Agatha? Can Agatha tell by looking at them what kind of magic they have or would have? Can she tell HOW MUCH power someone has? She doesn't seem to recognize a lot of power in Billy until the Door actually does open? But she also seems to show deference to Lilia by telling her about how to not get killed? Or is that deference just because Lilia is older?

I want to read into this but I am not sure I should.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

do you guys ever think about how Wyll is introduced as an archetypal fantasy hero, but then it turns out he’s a warlock, who made a pact with a devil. Do you ever think about how Ansur is described as this fantastical dragon of myth, but then when you find him, he’s turned into an undead monstrosity. Do you think about how when Wyll does the right thing, he is punished to become more monstrous. Do you think about how as Wyll’s warlock powers grow, his spells get more horrific. Do you think about how Ansur was killed by his closest friend. Do think about how Wyll was cast out by the most important person in his life. do you guys ever think about Ansur and Wyll.

sure, "I'm part of this marginalized group that I'm writing about" isn't a get out of jail free card for all bigotry, but if someone says "I'm portraying an exact experience I've had, this literally happened to me" and your response is "okayyy but think of the optics of showing that that happens? maybe keep that to yourself?" it might be time to reconsider your approach.

Genuinely, and I mean this kindly, but learning to recognize bait and not engaging with it will change your fandom experience.
