Okay so we got a tiny promotional video with a lot of clips we’ve already seen and fun ‘PowerPoint slide’ type clips. Imma talk about it
Here is the video ^
Now the last time I talked about this it didn’t go… great so I will word it better so as to avoid that again <3
Now we’ve gotten that billboard my excitement is out on an all time high again but there are a few things in this that I want to point out:
Firstly we will get the obvious out the way- RIO SAYS HER NAMEEEE AND ITS SO PLAYFUL. We have physical evidence that she at the very least knows her name haha.
Secondly the rest of the voice are very interesting. So we definitely have Billy- sorry I meant Teen in there, and Lilia at the end but the rest are all male voices. Now I can confidently identify the ver deep one as Herb from WV. And given it’s a tiny promo teaser I think all of these voices are from what we’ve seen before. Maybe one surprise new one but very unlikely. I think I can hear Dottie’s husband in there but the rest I can’t identify (men usually sound the same to me). So if we use that theory, who says what? I think there are about 3-4 voices I cannot place. AND when do they say it? My theory is that these kind of go chronologically and that she hears them say these in episode 1 as hallucinations or episode 2 when she’s collecting her coven
Thirdly, all the photos are gorgeous and they fall into one of 3 categories
One category is clips from WV. Now the only one I can theorise on is this 70’s one but it was amazing to see her gorgeous face (ignore my shoddy handwriting I’m a physicist it’s part of the job description)
Another Category is hints/clips to parts of the show. I will describe in chronological order, missing the two that go in the next category: Mare of Easttown Detective Agatha, Agatha search online, Agatha tarot card with the moon (moon is very important we all know this), Agatha with the orange magic (I don’t know what font it is but it feels like I should), Olden Agatha with pretty writing, purple smoke screen with Agatha font used in other things, Plants in an almost ‘weird detective’ way (I don’t know how to explain it but like those cutscenes in a detective where they put stuff in a lab… god I’m bad at this), something that almost resembles AHS but in general is a weird black pattern, Agatha twitter (she would be hilarious on there), red ‘Agatha’ that is linked to that demon scene and a beautiful purple glowing ball that is just general mystic-ness. All of them amazing, all pointing to different parts of the show
Now, the two to single out actually have writing on them
I’ll put my theorise down and thank you to my friend who helped because I was trying to think deeply and they gave me the obvious answers because I’m too dumb to do all of this on my own haha
The one on the left feels like a childhood story. It’s written in even lined with pretty patterns on the side. I think that it’s a story about her killing her coven. This would also cement the idea that she is famous (in a not great way) and support a little fun theory I had that she is almost like a spooky story witches tell their kids at night. Like the boogy man. “Don’t misbehave or the evil purple witch will come and get you” kind of thing (you would never guess that I write).
It also brings in a fun question everyone has: was she born with purple magic? Because by all logical accounts she had to have been because the darkhold didn’t turn Wandas magic purple (I know it did Stranges but sorcerers are different, I think it acted like a filter to the outside magic since that’s what sorcerers use, whereas witches have it born into them and their DNA so you can’t put a filter in it) and it would make sense story wise. Born with it and everyone was terrified and hated her from the beginning. Self fulfilling prophecy and all that. It’s not a problem if she isn’t, because the other works just as well, her wanting to rebel so much that she picks up dark books etc etc. but it is one of the aspects I’m deathly excited to see.
The right hand side one is a newspaper. Now given the placement of the name and the lack of anything either it’s her actually putting her name in for people to see/ some kind of clue thing OR the more likely option is a bounty on her head. Which would make sense: if this is a witch paper, everyone seems to want her dead so I mean… go for it. She gets a little snack out of it
Those are my current thoughts and if you’ve read this all then thank you for your time. I like getting other peoples opinions so if you have any then always feel free to say even if it’s telling me I’m stupid and pointing out the obvious haha
Anyway here is your gift for making it to the end: Sexy ladyyyyy
So... uh... Im not saying that I bought a digital camera specifically for this trip today so I can take pictures of aquarium exhibits and draw spamton interacting with them..... BUUUUUTTT actually I am because thats exactly what I did. This is a teaser!!!! :-)
Wind blows, wind that howls like a hound / Wind that laughs like a clown / Mystery of lack / Stabbing stars through my back / Forwards, beckon, rebound.
in light of tedtrent becoming so real, im also jumping on the tedtrent epilogue 😊
there's just no way ted wouldn't keep in touch with the others (and have weekly zoom meetings just like in the christmas special) and I just love the thought of the whole team having reunions once in a while.
and going back to trent's arc in s3, the sunflowers conversation, "And your daughter?" "She's never been happier." I think it could go the same for ted.. we've never really properly saw how henry felt about his dad being in london, it's always other people that told ted his son misses him, who's to say henry would rather see his dad happy because that in turn would make him happy too? he was there to win the whole thing, right? I just know ted’s story isn’t done yet when he still hasn’t learned to let others take care of him in return and who else to pair him with than the man who blew up his career because a man was nice to him (and also because they were so. so cruel for the fakeout tedbecca scenes for that finale) 🥺
I'm no writer so just pretend these are snapshots of a slow burn fic where ted visits london for their team reunion and slowly realizes that trent has a crush on him and they kiss about it 💛
Aw! XL cooking reminded me of when I was working with children and they'd get nightmares/scared of monsters, so was go to the garden and make Monster Soup! Anything that looked good would go into the nearest source of water (often a bird bath) so that the monsters would know we are kind people and stay outside and not come inside. Also the monsters would think of us as friends and protect us instead of scaring us. Now I'm hoping that I have turned any of these kids into bad cooks bc I was like that flower looks good! Toss it in! 😅😄😄😄
