More ep 7 thoughts, now that I’ve watched it twice and processed 🫠

Bookending the episode with Lilia’s fall but first it’s down and then it’s up - sick, twisted, beautiful, devastating, I’m crying

The soundtrack really goes hard in this ep

The wildest part about the “ex best friend” line is all of those things are equally insane - ex, ex best friend, or best friend. Like ma’am what hex were you living in

Babysitter is likely a reference to the comics, but interesting also in terms of WV because we saw Agatha babysit the twins only once I think. Does this mean she actually spent more time with them than we know?

Wow once again Kathryn Hahn is doing so much work in this first scene with Billy, she’s going from snarky to wary to calculating to hurt to i don’t even know. She’s doing a masterclass in face acting.

When they start to climb toward the castle, Agatha has her hands clasped behind her back and initially I was just like ma’am, why are you like this, but then I realized oh. Her hands are tied right now.

Waning moon for the Crone trial babyyyyyy called it

Fun and fast transition to get us into the trial, since we know the deal by now

She’s based on me you know — sooooo, tragic, misunderstood, secretly suffering her whole life, constantly judged by others, uh huh uh huh

Prove it - he really doesn’t believe a word she says! And she looks so hurt by it!

The way Agatha sits in the chair omg girl please chill

This is such like an Indiana Jones trap I love it

God I love Lilia’s visions, changing the perspective to hers, the blurring around the edges - sometimes you don’t need to do much, but it’s hella effective

Actually a lot of good camera tricks in this ep I’m not going to point them all out

It’s about limiting beliefs baybeee - once again the writers showing they know their psych

I’m sorry that tea leaves to the underground transition??? Spectacular

“Well tell me what more I should see when I look at you. No, I mean it” - hey nonviolent communication, how’s it going 🤌

God can you imagine how scary it would be to have these visions as a CHILD

Did you not see imminent impalement in your future?? Lol why did this get me

I get the fake nose on Agatha but idk maybe I could’ve done without it

Teenager his full name LOLOL underrated joke

Dory OMGGGGG

Jen being the ultimate Lilia champion this ep and I love it. Also seems to contradict her behavior even more in Agatha’s trial, but she’s still more snappy with Agatha here too

What are you wearing, I don’t wanna talk about it - bruh every line. EVERY LINE.

Did I mention the transitions are killer

Your task is not to control but to see. - I, I can’t keep writing down every line but

I love that as soon as Jen knows what’s going on, she’s totally on board, just asking Lilia for intel, like yep this is normal now

Ahhh the spell book. Interesting that Lilia finds it.

Ohp - I wish Lilia was here. Ask and you shall receive - see the Billy’s Road theory

She calls him baby again 😭

Is snappy dialogue one of my biggest joys on this earth? I think it is

Proper tarot takes time and care. And leads to large gaping wounds - …. You mean like internal wounds? Like trauma? Like you have to bring up the trauma to heal it? Uh huh uh huh cool cool cool cool you said it Agatha not me.

The Magician, the ability to turn all of your goals into reality - Agatha immediately side eyes him. Bruh.

I’m a forgotten woman. Then remember yourself. 🤌🤌🤌

I was falling. I will fall. - CAMERA. MOVEMENT.

What will you do with your remaining time 🤝 all we can do is decide what to do with the time that is given to us. Iykyk.

The subway baybeee get that House of R theory

God this tarot spread scene is so epic.

Ok Jen being the path ahead… I gotta come back to that

Agatha is the obstacle yep that makes sense (but the obstacle is the way)

Windfall - Billy, miraculous transformation uh yep ok

Destination - Death. Such a good reveal, even if I already knew it. Once again the power of good writing. In the end all roads lead to me. UGH WTF

NOT THE GREEN VINES SPELLING A BIG OL “R” WHEN THE DOORS OPEN

The original green witch…. Ok so she is in the coven… but also Billy’s in the coven? It’s a shared black heart? Or it means you can go one direction or the other… hm.

Ughghghghhh her just giving them each what they need before she sends them onward. She’s the GOAT.

Did I mention the music????

This whole scene is so EPIC. The tower upright fuck it up queen

Oh my God Lilia took her power back 😭

We didn’t see a body unlike Alice I’m holding onto that “see you at the end” lyric with all my might at this point

Time in a bottle was sick and twisted and beautiful I love it

I just… can’t believe this is something I got to witness. Like it’s so good I’m mad about it.

A few other quick thoughts:

Jen being the path ahead… if she was birth in the first trial (see my maiden mother crone trial theory), then maybe she’s also REbirth? It’s a circle sewn with fate… we’re going back to the beginning but emerging from the Road this time. Eh??

Patti…. PATTI!! Where’s her Emmy? Where’s the show’s Emmy???

Not only was this a better time travel plot than the rest of Marvel as I said in another post but it’s also better than time travel in Doctor Who for the last 10 years and that pisses me off low key.

Not to jump ahead but buckle up kids cuz if we’re following the loose structure of WandaVision then ep 8 is our flashback/reliving the trauma episode for Agatha and as much as I was destroyed by this ep I am so not ready for all of that.

Anyway. What a masterpiece. I’m DONE.

When you were younger and watched Violetta, what was differerent with how you thought compared to today, and what is the exact same in your experience watching today?

Here’s a list of things I thought about the show when I was a kid that I absolutely do not think anymore:

I thought Matias was funny

I also found Jade annoying, even if I could find her funny too

I didn’t like Gregorio

There was a small, dark period of time where I thought Priscila was ok (didn’t last for too long luckily)

I thought the Roxy and Fausta plot was the funniest thing ever (though I still think the concept of the characters are fun, but the actual plot and use for them is 😶)

I thought Tomas was better than Diego 🫠

It’s hard to remember everything, there were probably a lot of smaller things too, like some scenes or eps I just changed my mind about later.

Now, here’s things that always has been the same for me:

My love for Leonetta. Always big. Always there.

I essentially have the same opinion about every ship, only that I may not feel as strongly about them at all times, or feel more strongly.

Some scenes I always react the same to. Like, the ”the kiss was my kiss” scene and the 2x20 non-con kiss always brings me rage. There’s also a million scenes that brings me just as much serotonin as the first time I watched them.

I always, ALWAYS, dislike Germangie. It felt just as weird when I was 12 that they were endgame as it feels now

My favorite songs have not changed at all. My least favorite songs change every other hour, but my top 10 songs? Always the same. Guess once which song is on top and I’ve been blasting since I was 11 ;)

The way I analyse this show. Of course, as an 11 year old, I couldn’t analyse the show in the same way, but I always had an interest to. Much because, I felt like everyone else who watched ”just watched”. I had a ”no one else understands the depth of this show besides me” moment. Not only because, the loudest V-lovers were like 8 years old, and I felt at times too old to watch. But in reality, this show was really more for preteens, even if they marketed it like a preschool show

My favorite episodes then are still my favorite episodes today

My favorite characters have not changed

While I’ve appreciated the adults more now, I still will take the kids sides a lot. Especially Violetta’s. Many people think she’s annoying in early S1, but they fail to remember she hasn’t had the time to become her best self yet, because she’s so stuck and hasn’t been allowed to explore herself with her overprotective father

And here are things I didn’t think about as a kid and I thought about now:

How unbelievavbly on crack the show is. I knew it was chaotic from childhood but at THIS level of insanity?

How fruity the show is. I think it’s a universal experience to rewatch the show as you’re older and realize ”wow, this is fruitier than I remember”

And with that, I certainly did not realize like… how the real love triangle in S3 was between Naty, Ludmi and Cami? Not to mention FRANLETTA????

Franletta is interesting though cause Fran has always been my favorite character. But I never really… cared much about her love life. I liked her and Marco a lot. Honestly I always assumed they would’ve been endgame. I wonder if they were thought to be it, but due to Xavi leaving the show, they had to change it. Or, they were planning on having some love triangle between Marco, Diego and Fran, but had to change it to ”Diecesca hiding from Violetta”. Idk, that plot felt like not their first choice. I have however, always loved Francesca around her friends. Especially her relationship with Violetta. So really, I’ve always been ready to ship them without knowing it at first.

Really started to see more perspectives and be able to see some things from different character’s POV.

Also realized the more problematic aspects of the show… of course not only the whole deal with the censored episode and the really uneccessary depiction of the chinese restaurant workers, but also how there’s ableism and at times they just joke about people’s mental health and don’t take it too seriously. Also how quickly everyone forgets each other for non-consentual actions. Much of this is also problems in other DCLA shows. I feel like with every new show they go one step forward and two steps back with some things.

So yeah, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but I am glad I can recognize the problems too and call them out.

In the end though, this show will always mean so much to me and I can enjoy it just as much now as I did then, even if I may enjoy it for other aspects now.
