“Shall we go and see Charlie Chaplin? Shall we? Charlie Chaplin? Charlie Chester. Charlie Brown. No, he's fiction. Friction, fiction, fixing, mixing, Rickston, Brixton.”

(Edit downstairs)

Tl;dr theory: Rogue is fictional.

I’m sure this has been analysed to death already and I’m being slow again (not really keeping up with theories), but I couldn’t sleep last night and I had the thought stuck in my brain [warning: some meandering]

The whole episode felt like comfort food freshly flown in from the RTD1 era, with silly monsters, a good amount of running and an emotional punch, but for that reason also it felt to me a bit disconnected from the rest of the season (not in a bad way tho). There was also no Susan Twist apart from the portrait, so the season arc was pretty much invisible, too.

Except.

Except I think it could have been very much within the bigger arc that is still on. I think it’s already part of the next season arc. I’m going with the Mrs. Flood is the God of Storytelling theory, and she is fictionalising the Doctor’s whole life. That’s obviously where the fourth wall breaks come from (only she and Maestro did it iirc, so they must be on the same level, and the Doctor of course, but he’s the Main Character). That’s where the weird musical ending came in and the magical cross-walk. Now we have an episode simply called ‘Rogue’, introducing the Doctor’s new love interest [hand grabbing, “run”, the assembled hordes of- no wait] who gets sucked into another dimension saving the world - I get distracted - and his name is so on the nose. It’s like they got stuck finding a name for the character, proceeded to write the whole thing with this as a placeholder and then simply decided to keep it. There was enough lampshading with the dice to suggest a plausible origin, but come on. He is the rogue, he’s got his cool cluttered ship full of second hand tech, a semi-legal, morally dubious profession, he’s silent, he’s on his own, he’s got an awesome coat and a tragic backstory. He’s straight out of a story. He’s not an individual character, he’s a type (which is not to say that Jonathan Groff did not give him all the personality and realness and made him much more than just that, and I love him). Even the place, Pemberton (Pemberley/Bridgerton, obviously), is shamelessly fictional [edit: ok it’s not the place but the Duchess is at least Duchess of it, so it technically still works I think - see comments // also with ‘fictional’ I mean mashed up from two popular fictional names, I did not get out what I was trying to say at all - did I mention my lack of sleep]. But what if all this is part of a bigger design? I thought it was meant to be a cheeky, guilty pleasure kind of thing, a wink to the audience, saying “we know… but you love it too, don’t you”. But while we were all going crazy over whether or not Rogue is coming back, the Doctor wearing the ring and turning it on his finger in his closing scene of the finale had long been filmed. I think the episode is tied to the greater arc exactly by being so blatantly stacked with tropes. The Doctor meets a tall handsome stranger, perfectly suited for him. He inevitably loses him, but with an irresistible sequel hook. I think someone inside the show’s universe wrote this story just for him. And that’s why I’m sure Rogue will be back with a surprise.

Does that mean he’s another unsuspecting trap? Is he a real person literally doomed by the plot or an invention woven into reality? Is someone sending the Doctor through the drama and the emotions and the plot twists for their entertainment?

How much fan fiction did Rogue inspire in the first 24 hours?

Holy shit I just realised

At this point I'm not even touching the marvel Fandom, haven't for years now, but I'm too used to the Darcy Lewis pfp to even consider changing it. I saw her and her lipstick when I was like 16 and fell in love and I refuse to turn back

Agatha All Along deep dive: episode 4 part 7

(Wandavision entries: [1][2][3])

(AAA entries: ep1 [1][2][3][4] ep2 [1][2][3][4] ep3 [1][2][3] ep4 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][+1] ep5 [1][2][3][4][5] ep6 [1][2][3] ep7 [1][2][3][4][5][6] ep8 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7])

THIS IS THE LAST EPISODE 4 ENTRY I SWEAR

agatha: why yes I'm listening politely because I'm being sociable, not because this story concerns me in any way shape or form

she did NOT want TO DO IT AGATHA. HE WAS HER SON TOO AGATHA. did you ever give her a chance to SAY any of THAT. damn rio is (metaphorically) fighting for her life here. waiting centuries to catch her wife with her guard down next to a random fire, and then reworking her LONG PLANNED SPEECH into bite sized easily digestible bits so that her emotionally stunted soulmate doesn't run away screaming

I was doing MY DAMN FUCKING JOB agatha

agatha looks away like whooops! wasn't listening! wasn't looking at you! no sir, not me!

that's right. acknowledge her feelings. show her that you understand but that you're hurting too. be mature. you're doing great. god the way she swallows and stares right ahead, so determined. this is such a crucial moment for her.

agatha: i'm stone cold. I'm a wall. this is not affecting me in the slightest. I'm bored, really.

lilia not missing a word of what rio's saying

lmao the neutral pronoun lasted two seconds. she's not even trying to pretend like she isn't talking about agatha. and the way she nods to herself like yes, I did the best I could with this. so, there.

"she is my scar" is going to the sapphic annals, isn't it?

LMAOOOO the unblinking cat stare. rio is like I WAS TALKING TO YOU DUM-DUM. I KNOW IT, YOU KNOW IT, EVERYONE AROUND THIS GODDAMN FIRE KNOWS IT. CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE FUCKING TALK TO ME PLEASE DEAR GOD

and agatha doing a teeny tiny side glance and going whoooooooops not looking! I'm NOT looking! I'm not even here! and scrunching her face more and more trying to keep it blank

AND she's gone. she's so predictable lmaooo. every dang time.

awkwaaaaaard

rio with her soft smile again! with the little amused eye roll! never getting mad at agatha's antics. she's like FINE I'll come after you, you BIG BABY. the patience this woman has

lilia is so scared of rio because somehow, through her exceptional Seer abilities, she knew instinctively that this is her mortal foe. but something funny has just happened: here in front of her there's just a regular little guy, a bit odd maybe, doing her little thing, trying to talk to her ex. might it be... might it be that death isn't a monster, that it's just a thing, a strange but natural thing that happens to everybody? lilia cannot accept that quite yet. so she grabs rio and says no, no. I've seen what you are. you're scary, you're evil, you're dangerous. this is lilia's survival instincts kicking in. we are simply wired to fear death, that's just how humans are. it takes an exceptional mind and soul to see past that.

oh god, here we go, here we go. deep breaths (I'm telling this to myself tbh. i need the pep talk)

stroking her hair so gently. soft, tentative.

hey, subtitle people??? what the fuck??

rio just stands and stares. lets agatha decide what comes next, goes at her pace always

the haiR CARESSING

the HUG. the BIG SIGH. this bitch was running away screaming from rio just yesterday. and here she is. her love. her partner. she finally acknowledges rio's pain and all that they lost and all that they were (and still are tbh) to each other. THIS is what rio was looking for. she's not flirting to manipulate and deflect now, she's not being somebody else. this is agatha cracked open and bleeding love and sorrow

and they melt into each other, and they're rocking each other back and forth, with all their pain and tenderness and longing

agatha with her face buried in rio's shoulder. I'm unwell

and then agatha gently pushes rio back and strokes her hair and cradles her face like she did so many times before and leans in and here I am giving you a play-by-play and running a commentary like a totally normal and sane person would

you know what makes for a perfect onscreen kiss imo? no it's not tongue, although these two will give us plenty of that too. it's the TREMBLING. THE HESITATION. THE YEARNING.

rio and her superhuman willpower. couldn't be me.

and and and and and agatha looks at her puzzled for a second and doesn't register what's happening and dives for a kiss again she's so far gone. the feral animal noises I'm making you have no idea

THE ICY SHOWER

THE STEP BACK. THE MOST PAINED SMILE

THE REGRET

I think one big reason why agatha is always so calculated is because she's afraid her instincts will take over. she does something big and spectacular and stupid and then calls it a 'calculated risk' when it was actually a rush of fear, desire, sorrow, anger that she couldn't control. tonight rio has managed to poke a little hole into a carefully constructed dam, and now all the water is rushing out and tearing down the walls. agatha has rio in her arms and her shape, her scent, her skin are so nostalgic and familiar. her brain goes on autopilot, she's been lonely for so long, she is FAMISHED for love and connection and sex and acceptance. rio wanted her to open up, but agatha doesn't do half-measures. rio wanted her to give for a change, but agatha can only ever take.

rio HAS to put a stop to it. she puts logic before heart, one of them has to and you know agatha isn't gonna. more than anything rio wants to take this one perfect moment and run away with it, but instead she tears herself away and asks, what happens next? what happens if I have to take billy away from you? that reanimated corpse, that freak of nature who walked into your life only yesterday and took over?

billy is now part of the equation and rio cannot ignore it. she has been so gentle and careful with agatha, easing her into a reconciliation that is now in jeopardy because here comes billy maximoff like a sword of damocles! what happens if agatha takes her back only for rio to break her heart all over again? there would be no coming back from that. rio cannot help being the grim reaper just as much as agatha cannot help being a succubus, and she is almost at her breaking point here. because she is hurting too! she is sick of having to be the mature one! she's sick of always coming in second after all of agatha's issues! turns out there's a limit even to the heartbreak an impossibly old and wise being can take.

(and now I need a smoke and a future episode that is just 30 minutes of hot but soft cuddles and kisses and sweet nothings. please.)

once again a big shoutout and thank you to all the people reaching out and leaving comments, it's incredible to hear from you all @crybabyheathen @onceuponalegendbg @idkbroletssee @psychicsolanum @73chn1c0l0rr3v3l @a-tad-bit-obsessed @a-rusty-bucket-of-woes @miacheezytoon @isagrimorie @april-december @aquaaquila and I'm probably forgetting someone but I see you all and I appreciate you so much!

and now for something extra

[tonystarkfucksaround]

The last thing I expected was to become emotional over "Agatha All Along", yet here we are lmao

Honestly (and no offence to fans!), I didn't care about Agatha - I didn't care about WandaVision to begin with (I have... quite some issues with MCU Wanda, to say the least) and have only watched it when I saw the spoilers about Billy and Tommy being introduced there. Likewise, I only decided to watch Agatha because of Billy, but in the end I really loved it??

Some things didn't make much sense to me - like wtf with Eddie??? he was cute and sweet, but wtf??? you want to give Billy a cute jock boyf with lots of earrings, hmmm, why not make up an OC and make his name rhyme with Billy's actual boyfriend from comics! Then again, I guess we should be grateful that it's happening now and not like five years ago, when both Teddy and Billy had much more chances at being introduced as two straight best friends, having Kate and Cassie as their love interests or something, lol.

Also the coven - if the entire point was for Agatha to drain the witches powers, why ask Jen, who is bound and can't really attack her, much as she might want to, and Sharon, who's not even a witch? Say she was planning to get rid of Sharon from the start and only got her to avoid suspicions, that I can get, but Jen? Even following Lilia's list it's... somewhat weird? Idk. Tbh I thought that maybe Billy had not only made the Road real, but also unintentionally 'casted' random people to be the coven members much like Wanda did - there's a police officer he remembers briefly after his accident, a fortune teller he probably doesn't even remember since she was from 'before', a beauty blogger he ocassionally watches and then there's a lady who hit him with a car most recently - all of them bits and pieces of his life, much like the road itself reflected his room. I know it's not like that, but in a way it seemed fitting to me?

All in all, though, it was a great show, and Agatha's backstory with Nick (and Rio) was heartbreaking. I also can't help but wonder... she did pass the last trial, so technically, shouldn't she have been granted her wish? I feel like she was, but didn't realize it (or it wasn't immediately clear... could we be getting Nicholas's appearance at a later date maybe? Hmmm. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it :D)

CAN'T WAIT FOR BILLY TO FIND TOMMY NOW!

[bbyboybucket]

Bc it’s the 10 year anniversary of CATWS, I just have to tell all of you what it was like for me when I watched it the first time.

Let me just say, I didn’t watch CATWS until summer 2021 and the way I watched the mcu as a whole was completely out of order. So for back story, I watched TFA when I was like 10 or something, tbh didn’t remember much of it all I knew was the important part of small guy got big by science, fell in love, got frozen in the end. And I watched Ant-Man in theatres when I was like 14 (edit: I was definitely not 14, I was 12 my bad, anyways 👀) so I knew Sam from that.

But I watched endgame when it first came out and loved it and by 2021 I’d probably watched it about 5 or 6 times. Like literally I had watched it a million damn times, and as far as it goes with Steve and Sam as I was like “cool, flying guy from ant-man is Captain America now, ig they’re friends. Good for Steve for lifting mjolnir and turning into Joe Biden.”

So back to 2021, I was trying to catch up on the mcu (thanks to wandavision and Loki) so i decided to watch CATWS. And you know, that gave the back ground info of “ohhh so Steve and Sam are besties okay.”

But that’s the least relevant part, bc let me tell y’all, I was so fucking confused and annoyed for like majority of the movie. Because despite having watched TFA, Infinity War, and Endgame, I had no fucking clue who Bucky was. Like literally out of all the times I’d watched those movies, I had no memory of being in any of them. Like I stg his presence in endgame is my personal Mandela effect bc that man WAS NOT THERE FOR ME.

So ofc, for majority of CATWS, I was so fucking annoyed bc they kept bringing up Bucky and how he was Steve’s dead best friend. And I was like “who tf is this? I don’t give a fuck about this dead bitch.” And I was pissed bc I was like “why do they keep bringing up this random ass dead guy as if we’re supposed to know who that is or care about him, like just shut up about Bucky.” I dead ass thought he was just some random ass character they suddenly made up for Steve’s backstory during this movie.

Then I was gagged. The winter soldier mask came off and I was like “ohhhhh that’s why they keep talking about him” but then also I was like:

“I clearly missed a few steps bc how did we get here?” So I had to pause the movie and google Bucky, only to discover he’s not irrelevant or someone random they just threw into the plot, and I had in fact watched several movies with him in it.

And basically that’s how we got here: me having an unhealthy obsession with and fanpage dedicated to the “irrelevant dead bitch”. So yeah, deepest apologies to Bucky.

Okay, so ep 7 of AAA revealed some things and I'm both confused and have some theories.

I haven't read the comics or additional stuff so some of these might have been answered somewhere.

Also, spoilers for ep 7, so...

Let's start with the facts:

-Rio IS Death. Tbh, I only binged the previous 6 episodes last weekend while feverish and tired (my friends can't promote a show to save their lives, SAY THERE ARE QUEERS AND MILFS, FFS) but since then I've seen so many posts about how she is Death that I thought it's something I've missed being mentioned. Just earlier today, a couple of hours before watching the episode, I learned that's not the case. So, was it actually confirmed before that orr???

-This explains why she disappeared in the end of ep 5 and isn't present now! Had to collect Alice's body (tbh, gotta give a friend credits, he realised before me). Also Agatha most likely knew, because when Billy/William/Teen asked where she is, the answer was something like "I can't tell you" (Edit: she says "Not that question" bit yk, same meaning) and not "I don't know", and by the end of the episode, we learned Agatha knows who Rio is.

And this leads to the theories:

-The thing Rio did which hurt Agatha was collecting her son's body. Idk, it's more of a fact for me, rather than theory but we don't have really solid confirmation yet.

Now, for the next, I really lack info of the timeline but the way I see it, the Salem coven and her absorbing the powers of the other witches happened before her son so I have three theories about her and the Road:

-I'm not sure if it was mentioned on the show or people believe she lost her son in the end of the first walk on the Road but I think something else happened there (if it's not confirmed that's when she lost her son. If it is. I still have a theory that's including the scenario).

-I had this theory before that Rio was with her the first time she walked the Road. I guess, now it's another fact, since we know Agatha is the only one that survived, meaning the others died and Rio is Death. BUT.

>Theory 1: What if the first time Agatha walked the Road, it was with her original Salem coven?? The one including her mother. And the flashback in WandaVision and now again in AAA is from the end of it??? What if that's why she said one (her) survived because that's how it ended?

-What if she asked the Road for power and the Road gave her this power??

>Theory 2: The first time she walked the Road, she was, after all, with her son, and something happened. I don't believe she actually sacrificed him but maybe the Road took it as some type of exchange.

-Addition to #2 is, it could still be the scenario from #1 but with her son too. And maybe the Road made it look as if she did give him for power and that's how the whole thing with her mother telling her she's evil came from, plus the rumours she sacrificed him.

>Theory 3: The thing that Billy/etc said in this episode made me wonder... What if she, in fact, didn't walk the Road before at all?

-She seems to know a lot about it but also doesn't look as if she has faced these things before. She looks confused by some things. And doesn't say "last time..."

-Either that, or the Road manifests in a completely different way this time (the houses, etc).

And apart from the Road theories:

-I think that in any case, the first time Rio met Agatha was when the thing with the Salem witches happened.

-The second theory is the one I lean into the least and I could easily debunk it because:

-It looks as if Rio and Agatha were once a thing for real, not just into each other. And I believe it was before whatever happened with Agatha's son. Like, she wouldn't be with Rio after Rio took her son.

-UNLESS Agatha found out who Rio is later, and that hurt even more.

-Also, Agatha's mother basically trying to kill her because Agatha herself presumably sacrificed her son sounds a bit weird. Ofc, if it's based on intentions and reasons, it can pass as her thinking her daughter went too far.

-But I believe Agatha was young when Salem happened so I think her son was after all of it.

-There's also a chance that Agatha's coven turned against her after they found out about Rio but I think that Agatha and Rio were a thing after the coven, following my theory of they meeting there.

Additionally:

-I saw theories of Rio being the last trial and you know what, I can see it.

-I also have a feeling only one makes it to the end of the Road.

-I think in the end there is always some price to pay (for Agatha it was her coven or son, I lean towards coven, if theory 1 is closer to the truth), and I thought it's gonna be something with Rio where Agatha would have to lose her.

-Now we know that's not the case.

-But I think there's a chance that with Alice and Lilia already gone, Jen also wouldn't survive and maybe Agatha might not make it either :/

-I also keep going back to the line Rio says in ep 1 "I have a heart. It's black and it beats for you." I KNOW Billy is confirmed to be the Black Heart. But I feel like:

1) Agatha might not know it (even if she did suspect who he is, how could she know something between him and his bf?)

2) It was some word game. Billy had to cease to exist and William had to die but Billy somehow got into his body and now they coexist (?). In any case, there had to be death and there wasn't.

-So I think in the end, the black heart that "beats only for her" might mean something more. And maybe Agatha would have to make a choice. And sacrifice herself or sth.

[jovenshires]

If Spencer is Spider-Man, do you have any ideas on who in the Smosh crew would be certain Marvel heroes?

okay SO. i have been thinking ab this a little bit, bc i would like to expand the spidey au universe to other heroes. BUT im not gonna talk ab what im gonna do with the spidey au (spoilers lads <3). instead im gonna talk ab vibes. who do i think these people could be hypothetically! there's like one spoiler in here but otherwise none of this has anything to do with the canon for my spidey-spencer-verse.

also i wanna say before i get into this - DISCLAIMER: idk jack shit ab comics and i don't keep up with mcu anymore so. we're flying blind baby! i am making shit up as i go!

amanda: @blandview and i talked ab this and i think we came to a few conclusions: either she'd be black widow yelena OR she'd be an anti-hero of some kind. think elektra, think black cat... yeah she's got options.

angela: okay blandview also suggested this one: kate bishop hawkeye. we are taking no criticisms at this time.

anthony: god...... i could go so many directions but my heart longs to make him a villain/anti-hero. he's so morally gray-coded imo. magneto perhaps. other options are loki and wolverine.

arasha: there's so many options here too but i kind of like miss america for her i think!!

chanse: i mean he's miles morales. spencer is peter parker and he is miles morales end of sentence. BUT if i had to pick a non-spidey option, probably wiccan. i wanna give him magic powers so sue me!! oh or maybe iron lad. those are my faves for him

courtney: SO captain marvel coded for many many reasons. like i don't even think i need to explain this one tbh

damien: okay im thinking of making him part of the hero verse in the spidey fic so i am seriously considering this one... on the one hand like. cyclops. he is so classic x-men to me. daredevil could be fun and sexy for him. oh OR the hulk bc he's bruce banner-coded.

ian: so ive got some ops here: to match anthony. professor x. obviously. OR ant-man. do you see my vision. he looks like that.

jackie: scarlet witch was my first thought! mostly bc i could see her tearing apart the universe for love tbh (i did not watch wandavision but that trope sticks with me)

keith: does keith even want to be part of this. no probably not. maybe gambit or star-lord?? i literally cannot picture him doing this non-reluctantly and that's clouding my vision i think DKNGKNGK

kimmy: specifically jane forester thor perhaps. dazzler or jubilee could be fun for her too!!

noah: out of Everyone, noah is voted most likely to be deadpool imo. i could also see him as quicksilver bc little shit (affectionate)

shayne: i mean. thats captain america. look at him. once again i am done speaking thats it.

tommy: god... tommy is the toughest one. he's so normie in a hero world to me. like 'same shit as always' going to work while everyone out there being insane. angel?? he's also kinda x-men coded to me. otherwise....... winter soldier? i'll be real i got Nothin for that one chief.

anyway hope this was not too much of a disaster love ya bye xxx

[maerenee930]

4, 9, 11, and 48 for the 50 question ask game

aww, thank you so much for asking these ellie!! ☺️🩵

4.) which television series do you use as a form of escapism?

- so not so surprisingly lol, i have a quite a few series that i use as a form of escapism 😅 those series are the umbrella academy, the office, psych, doctor who, derry girls, misfits (but like tbh, just first two series cause i have a hard time with no nathan lol), supernatural, schitt’s creek, steven universe, russian doll, wandavision, quantum leap (the original series and the new one 🥰), bob’s burgers, gilmore girls, the haunting of hill house and altered carbon 😅🖤

(i’m sure there are probably a lot of other shows lol. but those were the ones that i though of like right away 💙)

9.) what is you favorite environmental season? why?

- summer. summer is my favorite 🥰 i love the sunshine, i love it being warm, i love being able to swim 💙 ooh or those days where you swim for hours and then when you get out of the pool and get dressed and then it hits you that you’re reeeally tired so you decide to take a nap, those are some of the best naps! and i usually take those naps in the summer lol. or i love being able to take a nap in the summer when the sun is shining through the window and laying in the warmth of the sun ☺️ i love the sun being out until after 9pm. i love how the sky looks when the sun does finally start setting in the summer. when it gets all pink, purple-ish blue 🥺 omg and i love being able to wear flip flops! i love how summer time makes me feel 🖤 i mean not everything is perfect or suddenly/magically better and all my problems are gone lol. but summer just gives me a little hope. there are more things i love about summer but i’ll leave it at that for now lol.

so my answers for the other questions are under the cut 😅 i realize that like always, i wrote a lot and don’t wanna make anyone have to scroll through all this if they don’t necessarily wanna read all of it lol

11.) what is one song that’s able to bring you to tears?

- so there are quite a few songs that are always able to bring me to tears lol. but one for sure is The Way by Fastball. (it always does and has since i was a kid. also. if you don’t know the song, i recommend looking it up. it is a good song and the lyrics are beautiful! it just breaks my heart.) ooh!! i also have to mention the song After All by Peter Cetera and Cher. (it’s my parents song/the song they danced to at their wedding and it always makes me cry 😅 idk totally know why it does, but it does lol. like no joke, i saw Cher in concert in 2019, and i had no idea she was gonna sing that song, and when she did, i was recording a video and crying while i sang along lmao!)

48.) which animal would you be the most terrified to encounter?

- there are a lot of animals i’m terrified of lol. idk if this is the one that i’m like the most terrified of if i were to ever encounter them but, i am legit very scared peacocks. like no joke, i am 😳😂 i am very terrified of them! like they let them walk around at the zoo and people will purposefully like mess with them and try to piss them off and they are sooo scary when they’re mad! but i always just assume they’re mad when ever i’ve gone to the zoo, so i’m just always very on edge when i’m at the zoo or if they’re in the same/general area i’m in lmao.

50.) what purpose do you get out of using tumblr?

- the purpose i get out of using tumblr is that it’s an escape for me. it’s where i can go to when everything feels like too much and i can let myself get distracted by all of the random, chaotic, funny, crazy and interesting things that are on here. i use tumblr as a place where i can indulge in my love for all of my favorite shows, characters, movies, musicians/bands, songs/albums and actors/actresses. where i can fangirl hard over those things with people and friends who love them just as much as i do 💙☺️ and i can let myself get distracted in the things that make me happy and it gives me a little break from my mind/anything and everything that’s going on.

i use tumblr/my blog as journal. this is somewhere that i feel safe and comfortable enough to get out my thoughts and feelings. i know/realize that journals are usually very private and most people use like actual notebooks or maybe the notes app on their phone and maybe not the internet 😅 but idk… i just feel like this is a safe place for me. this feels right to me to come here and use my blog as a journal for myself.

thank you so so much for asking these ellie 💙

i can’t tell you how much i appreciate it and you so much! this was a very good distraction that i really needed these past few days.

i hope you’re doing well and that things are going alright 💖

[acerikus]

Kairi

Send Me a Character

And I will tell you my:

First impression

Oh she's so adorable and cool, I like her :]

Impression now

Honey what did they do to you

Favorite moment

Probably the scene where she shields heartless sora in kh1, that was so sweet 😭

Idea for a story

For a while I've kinda wanted to write a kairi centric au (canon divergence starting from the end of kh3) kinda based on wandavision? Mostly revolving around her grief due to losing sora, never really getting to have the relationship and wanted w him and piles of survivor's guilt, that also plays around w the idea of how much power she could hold as a princess of heart and MoM taking interest in that. Probably won't find the time to actually write that though lol

Unpopular opinion

DON'T SHOOT ME BUT LIKE. I actually really loved the ending of khmom. Like, a lot. I'm not including the dumbass decision to turn her into sora for the xehanort fight in that bc I wanted her to at least get to take him on again properly in her own goddamn mind but like. Her deciding to stay and train and let riku go to quadratum alone was good.

Maybe in another universe where she was handled better from the start it'd make more sense for her to go, but they've underutilized kairi for so long in a way that would make her going to quadratum and being good at it feel... Painfully fanservicey and insincere as it is. At most I'd expect her to fight a couple neoshadows before getting kidnapped by like aced or something silly like that, unfortunately.

We've already seen that despite the amount of time she had to train, she didn't have the resources or environment needed for that training to be GOOD, and she's not magically gonna become an ultimate badass all of a sudden (without it feeling terrible at least). Aqua is an amazing wielder and looking to her for training could be fantastic for them both, as well as giving potential for her to learn and grow in a less high stakes scenario, which I think she needs. She trusts Riku to be able to do this, and she wants to fight at both their sides when she's ready - if we get to see some of her learning PROPERLY unlike her training with lea in kh3, this good be good, and could set up for a genuinely good destiny trio party fight in a future game, or even the end of kh4. They fucked up w her in the past, and to fix that they need to do it carefully and meaningfully.

(also like, the whole girlbossification mom-friend-who-holds-the-brain-cell of every female character is unnecessary and getting tiring, and her coming to the conclusion that she doesn't care for fighting but wants to help in another way could be equally satisfying lmao)

Favorite relationship

The one that gets me most is probably her connection to naminé, tbh. Really hope we get more of them in the future, her little speech to lea in kh3 about wanting to save naminé was my favourite scene of hers in the game.

Favorite headcanon

I like to hc that the paopu genuinely did create some kinda deep rooted heart connection between her and sora - it may not have linked then quite in the way that she was going for but it makes them like... A lot more attuned to what the other is feeling even when they're not around each other???? I don't mean in like a shippy way (I don't even ship them lol), but they're able to see what the other feels and help them out when they need it. This also applies to thoughts occasionally and they use it to fuck w each other once things calm down like, waking each other at 3am from completely different places bc kairi got a really annoying song stuck in her head and now she's gotta plague sora with it too, stuff like that lol

at least age of Ultron has four times as many female characters as the first Avengers film, which is not saying a whole hell of a lot? and certainly Laura Barton is 1,000 times more interesting in Hawkeye than she ever was in AOU. Same with Wanda in WandaVision, tbh. But the Cap films still were the only films where Tasha was a person instead of a cardboard cutout until her actual solo movie.

There's a lot I hate about AoU, but the female leads aren't on the list. And that Lizzie Olsen was able to give a compelling performance despite the creepy writer/director's Lolita fetish says a lot.

Agatha All Along deep dive: episode 8 part 7

(Wandavision entries: [1][2][3])

(AAA entries: ep1 [1][2][3][4] ep2 [1][2][3][4] ep3 [1][2][3] ep4 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][+1] ep5 [1][2][3][4][5] ep6 [1][2][3] ep7 [1][2][3][4][5][6] ep8 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7])

more Oz references! fury of the elements, one very pissed ex, same thing.

god but how much I love rio going feral?! it's so stupid I'm giggling and kicking my feet about it. you'd think a very old, very wise being would react like a grown ass adult after a breakup, especially because it was such a long time coming. but does rio go home to process things quietly? noooooooo she summons a whole storm and sits on a roof waiting for agatha to come out of her basement, so she can be an ass about it. if they were humans rio would be slashing agatha's tires and smashing windows and throwing rotten eggs at her house drunk at three in the morning, and you know what? good for her!!! she's been fucking trying to work out things in a mature responsible way, and it was never going to work, agatha was never going to grow up. so fuck it. agatha wants to be immature? we'll show her immature! I support my girl going full petty and unhinged, let her cry and scream and eat a whole ice cream tub and then throw it all up, let her piss all over agathas' rhododendrons, my girl has earned it.

AND she's brought her favorite soul-reaping orchid with her! she's like, I'm gonna do it! this time I'm gonna getcha! I will drag your ungrateful ass to our son kicking and screaming if I have to!!!!

...girl. we both know you ain't. like agatha is literally about to die and you still won't reap that soul without her consent. absolute loser behavior.

and agatha... well, agatha never backed off from an immaturity showdown. oooh she's gonna out-toddler you for sure.

but it's so interesting that the Road didn't give her her powers back. tbh I don't think she ever lost her powers at all, seeing as she's first and foremost a succubus and that power works just fine, if alice's fate is any indication. it's more like, three years under the spell completely drained her battery and she desperately needs to feed.

and agatha wasn't planning on joining the Road at all, as far as she was concerned it didn't even exist. like with lilia, jen and alice the Road gave her not what she asked, but what she needed all along: her prize was that moment of closure with nicky

so rio cannot kill people, she can only make them wish they were dead, and I just realized, her special talent is also being fucking annoying, just like agatha

by the way, rewatching wandavision I realized that his name is JOHN, not herb! I'm so sorry I've been calling you the wrong name this whole time, my guy. ALSO MOVE OUT OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD DEAR LORD

same goes for you two. harold you have a daughter!

(omg a literal harold, they're lesbians.)

agatha sees the fire moon and it reminds her of alice. she draws a circle for the expelle hoc malum protection spell she's learned from her. she had a coven only for a day and look how much they've gotten under her skin.

rio gives an incredulous sigh. are you calling me "evil"? it's like, we've been over this!

I know that baby and I love you, but also you're very much sitting on a rooftop cackling like a maniac. how can these two be both so tragic and so so fucking ridiculous at the same time.

it's like, she's absolutely right, she's no villain and she's no demon, agatha should stop treating her like one and punishing her for it. but also... stop begging her to, for fuck's sake. rio, my love, have some dignity. stop chasing. you did a dramatic exit half an hour ago, WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE

agatha trying to exorcise her ex wife with a spell: clownass behavior.

rio blowing the circle away with a kiss: also clownass behavior.

but is she wrong????

lilia's turn to come in handy!

I'm sorry but... a whole sink? she threw a whole sink at her head?? this scene is so fucking hilarious, like I know some people found rio ooc but to me it makes perfect sense. I'm just sorry she didn't throw a toilet.

GO HOME, RIO. it's okay, we're gonna put up a picture of agatha in your living room and throw poop at it until you feel better or smth, it's gonna be okay, you let it all out.

^^literally rio

jen's moment: vulnus ab aqua curare.

I don't think it's going to help you much though, babe. remember when agatha kept poking wanda with a stick and got her ass kicked to oblivion in return? she's been poking DEATH for two hundred years. what did she expect???!?!

THAT IS THE HOTTEST SOMEONE HAS EVER LOOKED, DEAR LORD

and considering that rio chooses an outfit for each soul she reaps: this is what she chose for agatha??? girl, be for real!!!

aaaand she gets kicked into a wall a moment later. after her devastating sexy ass walk with the high slit dress and all. complete loser behavior.

(also hilarious: agatha's laundry hanging there the whole time)

billy came back to save agatha (awww) but not before conjuring a cool wiccan costume and doing a very dramatic entrance (awwwwwwww). literally her son.

I agree tbh

agatha's face when she realizes billy is choosing to give her magic: this is the first time someone does it willingly. and sure he is super powerful (she drained poor alice in a second), but I keep imagining a world were agatha is an important, cherished member of a community, maybe playing the vital role of teacher and knowledge keeper, and the community willingly donates magic in return, all together and on a regular basis, like people donate blood, so that no one dies and she doesn't starve.

look at how the beam changes color, and just how happy she is to finally eat. it's just the way she was born, you know? I hate that evanora turned it into something horrible when it didn't need to.

oh god, that stupid outfit again. that is agatha's "I'm such a scary merciless bitch and I don't care about your feelings" outfit. as if.

and then she realizes she's killing billy. look at her face, a moment ago she even said how good all this power feels. she could easily take it all. but of course for billy she has to stop.

so, can agatha actually control her powers? well, it's complicated, isn't it? she definitely couldn't when she was very young. possibly she never sought to learn how to as time went on.

(thank you for your patience, everyone, I'll update more regularly from now on. and you all know what happens next entry.)

i loved training sessions though; we'd run around the track and whoever finishes first would get to skip push-ups. my childish satisfaction leaving everyone else on the field, stretch and cool down as they finished their laps and *then* going back to the training area to start doing push-ups immediately, screaming from exhaustion 💀 it was pure sadistic joy i say. they were all boys too so it was fun crushing their pride LMAO this is way longer than i intended but i just had to share this detail xD

📚 ... we will be here all day, please. a book that earned the most re-reads from me is osamu dazai's no longer human. i gotta read it again this year lol.

Introduction: TVH Blog Rundown

Hey everyone! It's me, Em, better known as @peachesandthings on wattpad. I never really understood why I picked that as my username way back when but then I started promotion The Violet Hour in tiktok comment sections saying "Have you read The Violet Hour by Peachesandthings", and now I can't go back.

Anywho. I think i've been disappointing you all with the lack of content vs what I promised. The sequel completely flopped tbh, I have a really hard time with the idea of anything being as good as the original fic and I had been using Second Planet From The Sun to ease up my writer's block but lets be honest guys, how often have I updated that??? Lmao...

But I genuinely think about the fic all the time. I miss Venus, I miss Peter. And there is a WHOLE world of lore that you guys don't even know because it resides in lost instagram chats with Ziggy who helped me develop and dream up the book. Like the extent to which we daydreamed up is crazy. We went all the way to a crossover with Wandavision and what roles TVH characters would have in that as well as plotting out where Venus is for EVERY single x-men movie and if she isn't there, Sylvia definitely was. The lore is extensive.

So I have this blog. And I am thinking of writing little blurbs instead of a whole other fic. Who knows, I might find the strength to return to the sequel but in the meantime, I feel like giving you odd little glimpses of TVH in short-story, one-shot form might be worth something, might be a little fun n silly. I miss Venus and Peter and I know some of you do as well.

I do want to warn you that I do plan on writing a few things that might be M-rated, so if that isn't your thing, I will have ways for you to detect and avoid that sort of content.

I love you all, thank you to anyone who drops by to this blog and I hope we can get things up and running soon. MWAH!

-Em

Weenais Raza!!! Your ("fav") depressed bitch Is back from the dead...Literally...

Okay... First of all, I know I don't owe anyone any explanations, but, the support you given my fics - content has been too much, That in my opinion you deserve an explanation of why I have disappeared as a good Latinoamérican father... (Those from Latam will understand me)...

Where to start...? Cause actually there have been several things.. in this months everything has happened to me... I moved, I found out that you don't have to eat salmon to get salmonella (Oh but what a dirty [rancid] joke), What else... I got a job with the excuse that this would give me a reason to get out of bed (spoiler alert, it and continues to work, there's times when the action becomes a livid hell, This I'll explain later), the doctora detected me thyroid... so... I cried... I really cried a lot, I started a legal process against the medical system of my small town for medical negligence....I cried again, my mom almost kicked me out, so... I had a depressive episode (self injury) after 4 "healthy" years... But despite this, there was something "good after all" because i had found and And I swear (I know it will sound stupid and maybe it is) that I didn't know that platonic - romantic - reciprocal love could be so beautifully healthy... But just as I experienced - I went through a stage that I wanted to live at least once in my life, I also learned that communication is much more important than it seems and even more so if this relationship is through to long distance, I also understood that these kinds of relationships are too complicated, It requires extreme patience, COMMUNICATION again, clear love and a maturity that probably not all of us have at the moment. Soooo, again, this relationship isn't for everyone and I include myself in it...Tbh, I don't think I would like to have to go through that again, however, I learned a lot in the Process... Process that like everything in this life naturally ended I'll not inquire further into that since I think I already said what I had to say and by that I mean "COMMUNICATION" and for respect... To surprise (lie, I was surprised) From no one I had another depressive episode (self-injury) again, so I was in and out of the hospital, Experience that causes a rupture in the psyche of your mind Well, on the one hand, you feel that you shouldn't be there, that your reasons that led to a mental decline are banal, but on the other hand, You are also aware of how fragile the human mind is and the importance of GOING (F *ING) [IF YOU CAN]) TO THE PSYCHOLOGIST AND TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS (Honestly, don't let them, if the doctors - specialists were sent to you it was for a reason...) Look, Im not here to take a position on psychological medication, However... i regret for thinking that I could "be okay "without them...

pobre estúpida (Poor stupid)

from: my

to: my

What else....Oh yes, I moved again to return to where I was living in a beginning, I know it sounds confusing, but let's just say that I'm a city girl who has been moving between the country and the city, and for me good or bad luck, I rather city...

Now that I remember, between my "lover - break-up era" and the constant visits to "la casa de la risa" (hospital), The 💀💀💀 anniversary of a boy - friend - boyfriend was fulfilled... And... Pfft It's been a long time (since 8th grade [high school]) that I haven't felt this miserably alone... (Seriously, I don't wish it on anyone, actually, this is one of the many reasons why the WandaVision series was and will be one of my favorites, just like her character.)

Anyway... The reason why I tell you this is, Razita, is because of the issue of long distance relationships - Mental health - Latin America and the true context that is hidden by jokes made by the Latin Americans themselves..., Cause first, no matter how hard we try to help someone with their mental health, we are not responsible for it, This can vary and yes, I'm speaking to the bullying community in general, Second, no love letter or msg are gonna replace a hug or physical contact, third and last, I count the days... No... I pray and ask whoever listens to me, Any deity that exists or if it exists, that the sentence of Nicolás Maduro is at least half as terrible long as his government term was..

And well, to finish this explanation that seems more like a mediocre attempt to show pity... I moved for who the h*ll know what number of times... So now I find myself living in Cuba and fresh out, healed, sewn up and more doped than I came in...

Is there any lesson or reflection that lrs wants to leave with this? No... I would tell them to take advantage of their life every second but no, That phrase can be the same as shit that "God's timing is perfect" And no, I'm not saying this with the intention of insulting any religion or belief, but I sincerely believe that "God" has better things to do... Or That these same phrases are toxic positivity, something that at least Im fed up with...

Anyway, I'll try to be uploading content, other than songs written based on sertraline or lamotrigine...

I know I don't know you, but with all my heart thank you for continuing to interact with my account and content...I wish you the best on this roller coaster called life... And remember... Never say "co Ger" In Latin America... Or at least not in Mexico...

[isagrimorie]

@musingsofaraven: I’ll be honest. I’m a bit conflicted about what Anon brings up, too. It was a direction that I feared the show was going to go, and I was right. However, there was a lot done that made it not just about Agatha giving up her life for Billy. Agatha’s progress was still well developed, though it feels like it’s incomplete (which is one of the reasons I’m thinking the producers are swinging for a second season, a la Loki), and that’s part of the jumble of emotions I’m feeling right now. Also, a large part of the issue with the Bury Your Gays trope is that the deaths are done for shock value, and while it was a “twist” in the story, it was something that was built up throughout the season so it wasn’t exactly shocking (at least to me). Do I wish it had been handled differently so that we got a similar-ish outcome without Agatha dying? Yes, absolutely. Was it the worst example of BYG? Not at all. It’s just adds a bit of disappointment to the experience of watching the show.

TBH, I get that too! Because I think what I've settled on is this: This is a fantastic sequel hook/season finale but a mediocre series finale.

I think it boils down to execution and I finally get Jac Schaeffer's hesitant answer about the finale and how she thinks it would land with people. Jac has a certain vision and exploration she wanted to do with Agatha and Nicky that she has to tie in with Billy

If this is a sequel hook/season finale it's a great set-up for the next thing. Because there's still so much story to dive through and that I feel like the writers gave themself a deliberate 'out' to return to.

It's just like the Salem scene with Agatha on WandaVision. I wanted more from that story and Agatha All Along gave context to that moment but at the same time. *grabby hands* I want more. There's so much left on the table they deliberately put aside: How Agatha and Rio met, how they fell in love, and how their relationship works when Rio can only be with Agatha for a moment.

(It also made me wonder, how much leeway Marvel gave them re: Rio/Lady Death.)

Also, I am holding out for the comic moment when Agatha gets her body back. Or Rio catches up to her and forces her to finally meet Nicky.

Or knowing Agatha, she’ll try to have both at once.

Agatha reforges a new Darkhold in the comics too. I know Jac isn’t as beholden to the Marvel Comics canon but also, it seems she is a little more beholden to Comics lore than before.

I think this is why I’m also looking forward to Jac’s Vampire TV show project since that’s a show she can craft without the huge burden of IP. We need the Next Buffy the Vampire Slayer show and I think Jac has the skill and team to pull it off.

What do you think about the people saying that it's a disservice to Agatha, a female gay character, being killed on her own show to prop up a man and set up his show

I can see how the optics looks but also I guess my point of view is different.

A thing that helps me is that I knew before hand that in the comics, Agatha was a ghost. It didn’t slow comics!Agatha one bit becoming a ghost. Eventually she was able to get her own body back.

Before that there was several dances of Agatha dying and then reviving but it’s almost never explained how she lived.

Honestly, I feel like I should have known this was coming since being a ghost was a big part of Agatha’s arc.

This just has the added bonus of pissing Rio off.

She loves Rio but when Agatha said she would hate Rio if she took Nicky… Agatha is a woman of her word.

And for near immortals, Agatha can both love and hate for a long, long time.

Also, honestly, if Agatha really wanted Rio to leave her alone, Agatha would have sincerely honored her bargain with Rio. Instead, by becoming a ghost Agatha ensured that some part of Rio will be searching and chasing after Agatha.

But also— I just… can’t reduce that whole thing to just sacrificing for a boy when episode 9 took a long time establishing why Agatha felt such a bond with Billy.

This is all tied up with her love for Nicky.

Agatha’s other wound that never healed. I get the whole thing about propping a boy (not a man since Billy is a teenager) but also, after the whole backstory— its clear now that Agatha All Along was about the creation of a long con, about Agatha’s tumultuous relationship with Death (big and little ‘d’). And, parenthood.

Lorna Wu and Alice Wu Gulliver and the world wide protection spell. She was able to do what Agatha couldn’t do for Nicky.

And then Agatha took Alice’s life.

Billy is the Kaplans’ son, but also at this point, for Agatha Billy is who she wanted Nicky to become.

I do understand why it’s disappointing but personally, I don’t find it disappointing because I don’t see Agatha as a prop to Billy’s story.

I see Billy as a stepping stone for Agatha to finally move forward and heal.

Nicky was a stop gap, Rio is… unable to say ‘no’ to Agatha’s whimsical requests.

After Nicky died Agatha became a walking, talking gaping wound. A blackhole of want. She is trying to fill that up with her insatiable need for power.

She cut herself off from Rio when she acquired the Darkhold.

Billy seems to be a step for Agatha to stem the tide and move on from being the Three of Swords.
