"Agatha said only one witch made it out with her last time - likely that was Rio"

Normally I’d say "I can’t believe Agatha and Rio made out" but I’ve seen enough of the show to know how gay it is XP

In terms of Marvel shows it's maximum gay.

....

Oh my goodness gravy, was that pun there the whole time????

Sky isn’t happy unless Kathryn gets her tiddies out at least once per role/season /j

I think the right statement here is that Kathryn isn't happy unless she gets her tiddies out once per role 😭😭😭 I love her so much she's so sweet and grounded but also a lil freak

Also hiiiiii

Honestly, I wouldn't bother even responding to that anon. They're just a sad, obsessed person who will latch onto a post, and then spam people with asks if they like or reblog said post with inane reasoning as to why that's 'problematic'. They've been harassing two of my friends already (and tried to do so with me until I turned anon off for a while) and basically trying to police how they run their blogs, so trust me when I say they're not worth the trouble. Just block and report them, that's generally the best idea.

I might just do that

Y'not what? Fuck it. Some of you already have me added on Discord, but for those who don't, cobaltstarling is my name there.

Add me, invite me to servers, whatever, just don't necessarily expect me to be too talkative at first. I have lots of social anxiety x.x

Dumbest random thought: Ms. Frizzle from The Magic Schoolbus is a witch and also knows Agatha

Mr Rogers may also be a witch who knew Agatha

Agatha and Ms. Frizzle are not dating, but they have an on/off relationship (or an open one)!

Alternately, Ms. Frizzle draws insperation from when Agatha was a redhead (JOLENE).

Unfortunately, as Mr. Rogers is a real person who was also a minister, I don't think he was a witch. (But he might have read about Agatha in the comics!)

OKAY RESPONDING HERE INSTEAD OF TO YOUR ASK BECAUSE THIS HAS MORE DETAIL AND I WANTED TO BRING UP CLAIRE AND YOU BROUGHT HER UP HERE SO THERE.

Honestly, I LOVE the idea of Whiskey and Peg teaming up, I love the idea of Whiskey and Peg teaming up - and I’d be SUPER in for Whisky going into politics, even though she’d have to cover up some of the mandom stuff with Duke.

But see, this is where Claire is helpful because Claire - I expect she’ll pull some PR stuff re: Klear that involves 1) she thought it was a new, green, renewable source of energy that would help with climate control and 2) she definitely did not know how dangerous it was and 3) now that she knows how dangerous it is, she’s overriding the power plant etc.  If she’s got loyal enough followers, they’ll go along with that.  Probably.  Especially because the power plant bit hadn’t broken yet and Klear technically hadn’t launched yet, so it’s Miles Bron and experimental new etc. and then Claire can just. hide the power plant paperwork away and cover over by vetoing or something.

And while Claire wasn’t super into Whiskey (because Duke was using her as arm candy), Claire does get along very well with Peg.  We see that in both the opening scene (Peg was part of the group going through all of the puzzles, Claire said hi to Peg when Birdie called in, they all did that together) and on the docks (again Claire says hi to Peg and asks if she needs any help (and probably would have gone with Lionel - who did help! - if she hadn’t gotten distracted with wait you’re BENOIT BLANC?!)).

Basically, there are connections to be made here.

(And the PR of taking in Duke’s grieving ex and helping her succeed in politics starting at the smaller level and being able to climb the ladder - Claire could take her under her wing without....  She’d have to get past the initial Whiskey bit, but just like how Whiskey opened up with Helen and was almost a different person, if she opened up with Claire like that, I feel like she’d get a bit farther.  But that’s just me.  Also running political PR campaigning is probably a bit different than what either Peg or Whiskey are used to, so they might need a LITTLE help with that.  Probably.)

BUT ALSO YES I LIKE THIS PLAN I LIKE IT VERY MUCH WHISKEY 2024.  (I definitely - when Whiskey brought up wanting to go into politics, I just - GO BE FRIENDS WITH CLAIRE.)

So, I rewatched Glass Onion today, second time watching it, and

Like all the cool kids on Tumblr, I have an idea.

I was gonna put this under a read more but y'know what, I'mma tag it with spoilers and that should be enough. Besides, if you haven't watched it yet... what's wrong with you? >:I

ANYWAY.

At the end of the movie, things aren't looking good for the two non-'Disruptors'.

Birdie is basically a sinking ship at this point. She's already signed the statement taking full blame for the sweatshop thing, and even if she tried to weasel out of it, there is solid evidence that she (seemed to) know what she was doing. And Birdie's not going to be getting the money for her shares after testifying against Miles. Peg will have to leave, or go down with the sinking ship, and neither option is great for her having future work.

And on the other hand, we have Whiskey. Now that Duke's dead, she can't really use him to increase her media presence any more. She could try to continue his channel, but that doesn't seem like a good idea. Because A. His channel was dying, and B. It'd be too much of a shift from the maledom bullshit to her running the channel all on her own. Her plan was to get herself out there enough and then eventually run for politics. So that may be what she'll do.

However, while Whiskey is smart, she will still need an assistant. Someone capable of keeping up with a hectic schedule, someone who knows to hold her back, who knows when they should stay quiet, and what not to say. Because as smart as Whiskey is, people do make accidents.

And Peg is very good at keeping Birdie off of social media when she needs to, and will likely appreciate having someone with more brain cells to assist.

So, why don't they go together? Whiskey enters politics, with Peg as her assistant.

And the idea doesn't stop there! Considering that the Disruptors are going to testify AGAIN Miles Bron, so he's going to go away for, y'know, definitely one murder (one of them said they would testify that they saw him driving away from Andi's house), maybe two (they were all there to see him give Duke pineapple juice), one attempted murder (one of them said they'd testify that Miles took Duke's gun), and likely have Alpha taken away from him as well (one said they'd testify that they saw the napkin), or at least, what's LEFT of Alpha, Helen might end up finding herself with a bit of money. Enough to fund, say, someone she became pretty fast friends with on a Grecian island, after talking to her once and finding out that she was a lot more than just a pretty face.

Of course, due to the fiasco with Klear, it might be that Alpha is completely bankrupt and in deep debt and completely dissolved before Helen can acquire it.

But the main crux of my theory is that Whiskey and Peg at least know each other, Whiskey has seen what a hard worker Peg is, and knows how much of a disaster Birdie would be without her, and Peg knows Whiskey, and likely knows, like Helen does, that she is more than just a pretty face. And even if not, can you think of someone else who Whiskey would hire as an assistant?

She might want to hire Claire, but if she did, it would likely be as an advisor more than anything else. And it might just be that her name is mud by the time this comes around in which case Whiskey would want to distance herself from her.

Here's the thing though, even if the disruptor's names are mud after this, because they would have to admit to perjury, or at least the one who will testify about the napkin will. Lionel will be in trouble for trying to push Klear when it comes out how dangerous it is, Claire will be in trouble for pushing for the power plant when she knew how dangerous it is, Birdie's going to be in trouble for the sweat shop thing...

But they could still make comebacks from this. It's not impossible, stranger things have happened.

You know who won't be making a comeback, though?

Miles Bron, the man who decided to power his house on an experimental fuel he had been told was dangerous, and which led to the Mona Lisa being burnt.

At least, while he is in prison, he will have the comfort of knowing that he is spoken of in the same breath as the Mona Lisa...

Even if that comfort is miniscule, considering he was the man who destroyed it.

It’s nice to see you’re still a useless lesbian (affectionate) when it comes to anything to do with Kathryn Hahn/Agatha :P

I'm not useless!! I'm also insane!! 🥰🥰🥰

[ihatekyleehenke]

She has an unpronounceable name

Oh man, I almost forgot that you got to play as Barry in RE5's Mercenary Reunion mode. I remember watching ProtonJon play as Barry and he was just loving every second of Barry's hamminess.

I have THIS!

I might regret this, but if you wanna add me on Discord, my name is cobaltstarling.

@cobaltstarling and @tobiasdrake - planning on getting nier over the weekend - planning on automata - is replicant worth it?

(i probably won't get both during the sale, but for future notice? i know replicant - the ps4 - is a remake/remaster of the original nier, and that the original here was gestalt, not replicant (gestalt has the protagonist as yonah's dad, replicant has him as an older brother instead) - and i also know that playing replicant isn't necessary for automata. just. i haven't heard as much about it? and i figured you two would know more about it?)

[aparticularbandit]

See, but my thing is this - if there's no Hulk, no Banner, then does AoU even happen in remotely the same framework? No Bruce to help build Ultron, no Hulk for Wanda to send off as a distraction - which could potentially lead to the Maximoffs getting taken early - and I don't know that Ultron as an entirely Tony product would have ended up the same way as he did (and if potentially no Ultron, then how do Vision?) - and then if Bruce isn't the one to convince the Ancient One to give up the Time Stone in Endgame, who is? If Bruce isn't there in Infinity War to warn Strange and explain things?

I...really want to go through the movies now just to. start following the through thread of the domino effect of no Hulk and how that might show small things early on that would grow later.

(Bruce still doesn't get Snapped. Why wouldn't he come out of hiding then? Would he go through the whole smart!Hulk character development in the background of the other movies, prompted much earlier on? Does someone find him again after that and he chooses not to be involved? Because you can't just look at the ripple effect of No Hulk, you also have to why is Bruce and where is Bruce and how is Bruce, you know? It's...a potentially mammoth scale thing.)

Hey Marvel, here's a What If for you. What If Bruce just. Like. Left after the Helicarrier battle in Avengers. "Son, you've got a condition," and then that was the last anyone saw of him.

And I don't mean, "So then we lose the Battle of New York and everyone dies." No. We still win the Battle of New York. Maybe it's rougher and we take heavier casualties. Maybe Loki escapes. Idk. But the Chitauri get routed, the portal generator's shut off, etc.

No quick and easy Everyone Dies Immediately answer like that. I want. Like. It's a Wonderful Life Bruce Banner. Bruce never becomes an Avenger. He never becomes BFF with Tony and doesn't design Ultron with him. He's not battle-brother rivals with Thor. He doesn't become champion on Sakaar.

What does the MCU look like if Bruce just leaves, successfully going into hiding after the helicarrier fight and never emerging again?
