This episode made me sob seventeen times BILLYYYY HE WAS JUST A SCARED LITTLE BOY IN THIS NEW BODY AND JUST WANTED HIS BROTHER HE JUST WANTS TO FIND HIS BROTHER PLZZZ 😭😭😭

[thestarlightforge]

Because this “Agatha All Along” thought almost made me burst into tears in the middle of minding my own business, washing dishes and listening to Lorna Wu’s cut of “Ballad,” I’m inflicting it on all of you—

If I can’t hold you…

Remember what I told you…

Now that the sigil is lifted (and the rest of whatever WandaVision memories may have muddled in his mind likely restored), what if this is one of the final episodes’ titles?

This—Billy reciting/remembering this, and casting his first Wish spell in the MCU at the end of the Road to get his family back—intercut with the last (or some similarly sweet) conversation between Agatha, Rio and Nicky?

Imagine: They’re all standing there, after the last Trial, and nobody’s hurt, they beat it—but nothing’s happening. They start getting mad at each other, screaming about WandaVision & Salem & the Darkhold & Sharon & the sacrifices & Alice�� He’s sorting through the lyrics, the different lyrics, and it hits him.

Billy: “If I can’t hold you, remember what I told you… It’s the only way we survive.”

Agatha: Lorna was a pop rocker. That’s not even in the Ballad. And you don’t remember shit, do you? William? Billy?

Billy: “You know, a family is forever.”

Agatha turns, curious.

Billy: “We could never truly leave each other, even if we tried.”

Tears well in Billy’s eyes, remembering how Wanda turned to Tommy—how knowing his lack of mind-based powers, she wouldn’t leave until he had understood.

Billy: “You know that, right?”

Rio looks on solemnly, having witnessed this moment in waiting to take the twins to the beyond.

Billy: “Boys?”

Billy barely chokes it out.

Billy: “Thanks for choosing me to be your mom.”

Rio and Agatha’s eyes meet. And they’re young women, playing with Nicky in Salem, 400 years ago.

Billy: “Goodnight, Tommy.”

A stream of flashes: Wanda and Vision and Billy and Tommy—Agatha and Rio and Nicky.

Billy: “Goodnight, Billy.”

Wanda and Vision hugging the boys, Billy and Tommy playing—Agatha watching while Rio tosses Nicky in the air, both of them cackling like mad. Wanda and Vision kissing. Rio and Agatha kissing. All of them happy. Together.

Back to the present. No dry eyes left in the room. Billy’s power warbles as the Road unlocks.

Billy: I’m not missing power, or magic, or memories. I miss them. They are what I’m missing. And I wish… I could have them back.

Maybe he thinks it doesn’t work. Maybe they don’t all appear. But there’s a crackling burst of blue magic, and the Road is done. Because the actual most famous Witch to walk the Road—perhaps who it was created by, even—is not Agatha Harkness, even if she is its only living survivor. And perhaps Agatha even knows this—met this Witch 400+ years ago. The real person the Road is for is the ancient, ancestral, legendary Scarlet Witch. Not Wanda Maximoff—but an earlier incarnation. So of course, it is her most modern incarnation’s words—Wanda’s last to her sons, including this warrior boy who has survived all seven Trials—that unlocks the road’s ending.

Then, we cut away in an end credit sequence to each of Billy’s missing, wished people who we don’t see here—Wanda and Tommy resurrecting across the world, and White Vision fully unlocking Hex Vision’s memories (where previously he may have just had everything through “Infinity War”).

OH HE WAS CRYING EVEN BEFORE saying “and sometimes you have wished to follow me” TO MAX. This was right when he was walking towards her after she had finished reading the letter… Meaning that maybe he heard her?? But couldn’t do anything about it because Henry wouldn’t let him?? Oh we are gonna suffer so much in s5 aren’t we

[danseuse-de-ballet]

He is my brother. He’s out there somewhere, I can sense him. I just can’t find him.

hm. yeah ok

[dramaticpandabear]

NOO YOU GUYS BECAUSE I AM LITERALLY FROTHING AT THE MOUTH RN LIKE

Lilia being the one who put the sigil on Billy?! Oh my god that was such a great twist!

On a surface level, I believe she made the sigil to protect him from Wanda because of what was going on in Westview. But looking deeper, I also think she was trying to protect him from Billy using his body as a vessel after the accident.

God, this episode was so gut wrenching because William/Billy’s backstory is already sad enough, but Lilia’s involvement specifically hit me like a truck. And then seeing the other witches cross paths with Billy in one way or another is almost as though it is fate that brings them together.

instantly begins crying when billy asks the audience to do the chorus to piano man.

This is what the inside of my head looks like

[sharonisthebettercarter]

y'all...

if you haven't yet (and have read the boys comics first of course), def read "dear becky".

it's perfect. it's just fuckin' perfect. that's all i can say... OOH~! i wanna say moar! it hurts so goddamn much but it's a good bittersweet hurt.

also lovely to get full confirmation that kripke is a superfan of the source material and ennis' work~<3

very reassuring and show's he's an open minded person willing to listen and learn with good media literacy, but also means he set out to adapt the story proper from the very beginning<3<3<3! and boi, it has shown from the very beginning but it just gets me all the more excited<3

butt~ if you have any wonder of what he's going for with butcher--motives, self view, goals, even spoilers--this might help clear it up... leik a LOT actually lol

comics butcher and show butcher are actually a lot more alike than people want to admit (def looks like kripke is going for making him as accurate as he can tho)

plus i'm always a sucker for moar big bobbi<3<3<3 she is literally the BEST<3!

babe are you okay you've been crying to What was I Made For? by Billie Eilish for the past hour and reflecting on being raised a girl and as an adult realising you might not be a girl but also connecting so deeply to the feminine experience because you were raised a girl after all and relate to the beauty but also struggle and pain of it

[whotfamihuh688]

POV: you're [choice of JL member]

you saw that Captain Marvel have been glaring at you for the past few minutes.

What could a member have possibly done to receive such a cold glare from the big red cheese himself?

(A BILLY DOODLE because i love this character. This was mostly a shading test but ill probably post a few more after this one, althought im not a writer, i love drawing scenes and getting inspired by your fanfics^^)(refering to all those writers inside and outside ao3)

How long has it been since Billy Batson had a hug?

This kid has been a superhero, fighting against horrors beyond the minds of humanity and far from home in the abysmal depths of space and hell, for so long. He has not only the courage of Achilles, but the courage of Billy Batson, a kid who is constantly sacrificing his childhood to save the lives of others who will never know him.

He endures so much pain, all physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, because he chose to do good with the powers he was granted by someone who died in front of him, their last wish to see the Champion of Magic rise again to save the world. And he does save the world, but he doesn't save himself.

Billy won't hesitate to save someone, to help them whenever he can, and do whatever he can, and that's what makes him pure of heart. He is a pure soul in a world that forgets he exists when he is not someone else.

I just need Billy Batson to be loved and cared for. He's so precious and in need of someone to tell him, "it's going to be okay". He needs someone to give him a hug, and he needs to learn that it's okay to want to feel safe.

As Captain Marvel he's given all this praise and glory for being a superhero, but as Billy Batson, he is the hero no one knows or thanks. A child abandoned by the village who burns himself to keep them warm.

I'm in a mood rn, haha
