"She is my scar."

I fear this was the gayest line in cinematic history.

[holyblanchett]

Listen if we're going to be collectively mad at Billy for anything, it needs to be for ruining this cunty fit.

[localvamp1re]

“you were born evil” is an insane thing to say to your daughter who once begged not only for her life but for the lives of her coven. who swore she couldn��t control what she was doing and wanted help. who once promised she could be good if only you taught her, mentored her, loved her, like a mother should.

[she1smyscar]

No but like, we thought she was Cunty before??? This look will E.N.D. me

If it weren’t for Billy creating the Road, Sharon would’ve died completely alone, never again having a taste of sisterhood or adventure.

If it weren’t for Billy creating the Road, Jen would never have unbound herself or regained her power.

If it weren’t for Billy creating the Road, Alice would never have known what her mother did for her or broken the curse, achieving what her ancestors could not.

If it weren’t for Billy creating the Road, Lilia would never have achieved closure within herself or understood her own purpose in life.

If it weren’t for Billy creating the Road, Agatha would never have learned to love a child again or realized that she could still be more than just a killer.

Every member of the coven, whether they physically survived in the end or not, was given something immeasurably valuable by Billy through his Hex of the Road.

He may have “killed” some of them.

But in truth, in one way or another, he saved all of them.

Nicky's Rio son too.

I feel there were so many lines that imply this and the finale is starting to make more sense - especially because the dandelion in the trial!

Jen explains that Green Craft™ is about the cycle of all living things - growth and decay in constant flow. So it's not just about dying but being born too.

So it would track that Rio's love for Agatha was so strong that it actually created life - Nicky. However, there would be consequences to this because proper balance had to be maintained somehow. Rio probably even warned Agatha about it, but Agatha always believes she is above the rules so in her head she probably thought she had every right to Nicky (maybe even her "prize" that she alludes to in their final confrontation). This would really add to Rio's hurt - Nicky was her son too. She thought she was giving Agatha a gift of life, but instead Agatha sees her as this cruel "evil" that "gave her nothing". To her Rio is the one who just "took."

It feels like it is also implied by Rio at the start of the episode when she says "This walk with another woman's son on a road that doesn't...". She could be referring to Nicky being her son.

But I think Agatha finally accepts her truth during the final trial when she sees the dandelion seed in her cameo. She even says "Out of Death - life" as she grows it because she finally understands the literal implications of that phrase.

That Dandelion is representation of Nicky. And sure enough, as soon as the flower grows and blossoms, it quickly enters the final stage - when it turns into the seeds that can be scattered by the wind again and continue the cycle of life. Because guess what, "dandelions produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant".

When Nicky is born, we could probably assume it was indeed asexual reproduction - Agatha says she didn't use a spell or incantation, but instead he was made from scratch (obviously a clever nod to his name). On one hand it could be read like Agatha is astonished how something this magical could happen without actually using any witchcraft. However, this also feels like a suggestion that maybe she is just amazed at how he could possibly exist. Kathryn Hahn in her recent interview alluded to how the witches didn't need men, babies were just born. So it was Rio's "dandelion seed" that made it happen.

It is the second characteristic of dandelion species is what seals the deal for me - "the offspring being genetically identical to the parent plant". Nicky as the offspring of Death needs bodies to survive in this realm. During his birth Rio says she can offer only time, because she can maintain the balance, as long as Nicky gets his bodies.

That's why she hates Rio and calls her evil - not because of Rio herself, but because of what her "genetics" did to Nicky. Agatha would rather have people believe that she is this evil witch killer that traded her child for the Darkhold, than anyone to know the awful truth that it was Nicky who was the cause of the killings.

In the flashbacks, there are those remarks about how they haven't "eaten for days" and that whenever Nicky was poorly he said he was hungry. Agatha said she couldn't create the food for him (and protect him from what's coming). She could've cooked that goat they had with them if they were really that hungry (btw, I still believe that goat is Senor Scratchy), but that wasn't the "food" that Nicky meant.

And just like Billy, Rio couldn't just take Nicky. He had to "turn himself in". It was his choice not to kill any more witches. On the day Nicky dies, he says "My mother needs me home". I think he is talking about Rio here, since he usually calls Agatha "Mama". This is the moment the decides for himself and goes home to Death.

I feel like this opens the possibility that we will indeed see Nicholas Scratch in the future (and have a role similar to the one in the comics). That maybe even he might not have "died" because he is an offspring of death, so he just exists in some Underworld realm, where he no longer needs bodies to survive. Maybe Agatha might have hoped that by killing more and more witches, she will bring Nicky back to life/this realm?

And the Ballad really was a protection spell she made for him too?

This would also be a more plausible explanation why Agatha went to kiss Rio when Billy asked "Is this how Nicky died?". I feel this was more of an apology to Rio for hating her for Nicky's treatment, because she finally understood why she had to do it?

[coffeeandjuice]

Learning that Agatha and Nicky made the ballad makes Lorna’s version hit so much harder and it’s connection to Agatha

Cause like, Agatha knew ALL the lyrics to Lorna’s version of the ballad. Lorna created her version as a protection spell for Alice and Agatha created the ballad with her son.

Lorna was able to protect Alice with the song, but Agatha wasn’t able to protect her son with it.

Was she bitter because of it? Or was she glad that a mother worried for her child, like her, was able to protect their kid?

"The Marvel series “Agatha All Along,” in which she plays the romantic antagonist to Kathryn Hahn’s “WandaVision” witch"

- The New York Times

[blazethecheeto]

my favourite part of agatha all along is how fucking unserious this show is. the gen z dialogue, the unique, iconic characters all carrying their own baggage, them all being at each other's throats at any given moment, the amount of gay.

it turns any slightly horror plot into something sheerly comedic in a matter of seconds due to the characters being their bratty selfish incredible selves. like, agatha is on the CEILING, her limbs twisted and demonically screeching, and the first thing jen says is 'she's faking it'.

i cackled.

seriously, this is literally legends of tomorrow. queer ragtag team with unique powers/personalities, with fantastical witchy plots and can change their tone from campy to horrific in a matter of seconds. i love it. i love it so much. 10/10. also i think rio and agatha should kiss.

[fandomnerd9602]

Y/N sees Rio licking Agatha’s hand…

Rio: wound sealed

Y/N grabs a knife and cuts their own hand…

Y/N: uhh…I got a cut too. Could you heal it please?

Rio: (purrs) honey I’ll make sure you’re completely healed (winks)

Rio kisses Y/N and then hauls them off somewhere else…

Agatha: (sarcastic) sure make yourselves comfortable

[whchwitch]

First meetings.

[vidalswife]

"Leave her with me."

"NO! NO WAY!"

"A minute ago, you were ready to slit her throat?"

"Yeah well her mother can't have her!"

WHAT THE FUCK DISNEY?? WHAT LESBIANS DO YOU HAVE ON HOLD?! THIS SHIT IS STRAIGHT OUT OF AN AO3 FANFIC

[holyblanchett]

They were holding hands y'all... this is my last straw wtf. I am never getting over this. We lost on so many levels it needs to be studied.

[butmakeitgayblog]

Something about how fast the night changes

[she1smyscar]

You guys don't understand ( actually you probably do ) , but Agatha saying "Ask a straight lady" is the best line ever cuz us gays be saying shit like this CONSTANTLY and straight writers trying to write gay and lesbian characters never understand the assignment and for a Marvel Witch show to be the first one with such a relatable and REAL line for us is NOT what I saw in the cards as far as representation goes, but here we are. And I'm obsessed with it!
