Harry: Is that a snake in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Voldemort: That’s my wand you degenerate buffoon
Harry: You mean the wand that’s currently in your hand??
Voldemort: …
Harry: Wait, then what-
*Lord Voldemort's pocket moves and a small forked tongue pokes out*
Harry: Oh shit, it’s actually a snake lol

I love that Agatha All Along despite bringing many familiar elements and tropes from witch-themed stories and folklore, is stereotypical in a best nonstereotypical way.
When it comes to witchcraft the focus of the story is more on the craft side of it. It is less about power, and more about knowledge, understanding, skill and art the members of the coven are capable of. It is the combination of all these traits and abilities that let them survive their trials. I especially like that art has been one of the aspects of each trial. Jen's potions so far have been healing, medicine that is said to be both science and art. But potions can also be linked to cooking, a craft and an art. Music and singing are crafts and arts too.
And then there's the matter of "witch" as a negative label that historically targeted people who didn't conform. A lot of times those people were "evil women" who were said to steal and kill babies, or harm and heal with their knowledge. Powerful women. Angry women. Inconvenient women. Bad girls. Gay men. Queers. Mentally ill. Outcasts. And our little queer coven is a group of rule breakers among the outcasts.
It's also interesting that despite looking like the characters have stereotypical traits, at their core, at their full potential as a witch, they're the complete opposite.
Jen while bound is selling pseudo science and has hurt her clients. Jen at her best is knowledgeable to the point that witches around her don't understand the terms she uses and since her trial she was able to heal people. Alice is angry and a loner but her anger isn't shown through aggression, but through grief and depression. In both cases losing belief in themselves was what stopping them from reaching their full potential.
The belief that Jen's expertise comes from her knowledge and no one can take it from her was what saved her. Alice was saved because she finally saw that it wasn't her fault that she carried a generational burden. She shared her grief, opened up to her coven and learned that all the while she was loved and protected. That she wasn't a disappointment but a sure and certain hope to finally break the curse.
Lilia while living through the most stereotypical picture of a fortune teller or a psychic, is the one who's the most annoyed with the misconceptions. I imagine her trial must have sth to do with the stereotypical evil witch of stories.
Agatha on the outside is the picture of that stereotypical witch Lilia hates so much. She can be cunning and ruthless and obsessed with power. The rumors say she even sacrificed her own child for power. Yet that is her biggest fear and regret. Yet she becomes the most observant or caring of the group when they're in danger or distress. They way she cares about Teen and is protective of him. When she makes Jen believe in herself. And reminds Alice that all this time she's been loved and protected and capable. Agatha keeps pretending she doesn't care. But as the story goes and the bonds with her coven strengthen it's become harder and harder for her to keep pretense. It would be interesting if she doesn't get a specific trial, but her trial would be her journey through the road.

staring at my sqh/yqy peak lord fiance ficlet. consider this! sqh is still consorting with demons while this happens because why not. mobei-jun still exists and is fully aware of the whole "haha i'm engaged to my shixiong and everything is so fucking weird" and sqh is muttering about this as he looks through some northern desert stuff.
it's just. come on, yue-shixiong. we're engaged, you don't have to keep chasing after your xiao jiu -- not that sqh minds!!! if you two get along, great, that's everything that great airplane god wanted! but like, it gets really awkward when you run away while you're on a date with lil ole shang qinghua, and then everyone starts feeling very sorry for sqh for having a fiance so obviously in love with another man, which, okay, sqh absolutely took advantage of to get paperwork done at first, but it's starting to get wayyyyy more awkward now --
mbj finds himself in the wonderful position of being able to give sqh dating advice. does mbj date? no. but does he know what dating looks like? hell yeah. it seems a shame that his best spy/advisor/friend(?) doesn't know the answer to this.
"hit him," mbj suggests.
"what," sqh says.
"three times a day."
and then we get into a discussion on demon courting and sqh going "haha that's nice but yqy isn't a demon" and mbj is like "i don't understand why you don't try it, how else are you going to get his attention".
"humans don't court by punching people???"
"you don't appear to be making any progress doing this the human way." and mbj says this super condescendingly, too. like hey, sqh, you're such a loser. you have no game. of course you have no bitches. how can you have bitches if you don't punch people in the face.
well, yeah?? fuck you too, my king! it's not like you've ever had a date, are you not launching a boulder while being precariously balanced on your glass peak (me: i'm paraphrasing bu-ding-talk, check them out)? sqh could totally make progress if he wants to! not that he wants to! who wants to make progress with yqy??
anyway, this gets buried until the next time yqy pays sqq too much attention and sqh had the most resigned fucking look on his face. like come on. this again?
lqg is there. sqh makes incredibly awkward small talk. like haha hey how's your engagement to sqq. good? bad? ahahaha yeah, actually, sqh didn't have to ask, obviously it's bad. look, our fiances are running away with each other. people keep telling sqh that he needs to keep yue-shixiong's attention somehow, but all the advice is weird. in fact this guy last week said that sqh should hit yqy three times a day, not that sqh is going to try that --
"hmm," says lqg. "that's not a bad idea."
sqh is abruptly reminded that he is talking to lqg, a man who probably would be more interested in people if they punched him in the face.
"is that what you're doing with sqq???" says sqh.
the answer is no, of course not, don't be dumb. but like, if sqq WASN'T a poisonous snake of a man and a decent human being, lqg would mayhaps have his interest piqued with a good fight. that's so much better than flowers and haircombs. who wants courting gifts when you can have a good punch in the face.
"hahaha thanks liu-shidi but maybe not i think yue-shixiong could probably kill me if i tried," says sqh and scurries away.
fast-forward a week or two, in which sqh is having a stressful time. maybe it's tax season. maybe it's a shitty night hunt that he has no business being on. either way, yqy is there with him and good god is yqy zoned out.
is yqy actually zoned out? eh, maybe not. perhaps he is actually fully paying attention, but also he takes a look at a stand for fans while sqh is talking to him and sqh is like "shit, is this sqq again?" exasperation turning into anger while sqh is just, super stressed, and he just needs yqy to pay attention to him just this once, and the thought occurs -- well, at least two separate people have told him that he just needs to hit yqy --
all this to say that sqh just fucking decks yqy

A long long while back, I saw this art of someone's tma oc who was Martin's younger sister whom he left behind to escape his mom or something like that. I don't fully remember the plot of that singular drawing/comic/animatic (nor do I remember the format of the artwork), but I have never, ever stopped thinking about that person's oc and how well it worked despite it being nearly an implausible idea of Martin having a sibling in canon

I actually really applaud hyunwoo for telling haein when he did. It was very off putting that they were going to make her go ahead with the surgery without giving her this information and the way the episode repeatedly highlighted how conflicted hyunwoo was about it made me know he was going to tell her and it's the reason why he tells her that gets to me. He just didn't want her to go ahead without this information even knowing that she was not going to respond well and this is once again how hyunwoo has always been on her side because he knew she would have wanted to know and he wanted to give her that agency.
But you know what gets me more is that he still comes in, in the end and says I know you don't want this but live that's the most important thing right now, I'm telling you this because you should know but don't walk away just live, choose to live, just please listen to me.
And i know the next ep is going to be exhausting because haein has a lot to unpack, and she's going to have to make a choice (unless the clown gets in the way and causes an even worse situation where there is no room for choosing).

I am damm sure he'll play again so it's not a tribute post but I just wanted to collect some thoughts. After watching today's match I think I'm slowly coming to terms with his retirement. I saw him losing points I KNOW he would have never lost a few years back... I get it now. His fighting spirit is still there yes but the body is holding him back. All his career he fought not only against the opponents but his own body, to win so I think it's time he takes some rest. He deserves it more than anyone 🙂

Hawkmoth would fucking HATE Spider-Man, could you imagine? I mean, he fits all the criteria to be a miraculous holder...but minus the miraculous. Skintight, animal/bug themed suit? Named after an animal/bug? Mask? One Power + durability? Hawkmoth is out here wondering WHERE THE FUCK IS THIS KID'S MIRACULOUS, DAMMIT...
He's everything Hawkmoth despises about both Chat Noir and Ladybug combined: puns, red suit, resourceful, efficient (more or less) etc etc etc.
But he doesn't have to transform back and forth to use his power again, actually making him more efficient.
Plus, I feel like Ladybug and Chat Noir are less unsettling. Aww, spots! Cat ears! A TAIL OMG. Then you get to spidey...⚪️⚪️ them fuckin eyes...
I got off track, but besides a lack of miraculous to steal, I feel like Spidey would be quick to track down + expose Hawkmoth for his crimes, landing him in jail without hesitation.

Teen shows all belong on a sexual-realism spectrum. On one side of the spectrum, you have something like Euphoria or Elite, TV shows that are just softcore porn set in high school. On the other side, you have Heartstopper, a show in which teenagers love to passionately kiss and never once think about doing anything more. In the middle of the spectrum, you have Sex Education, a show in which every teenager is horny but they're also all extremely awkward and clueless about what that means.
