Did you notice Agatha cried when fighting Rio? Her right eye teared up. 🥺 I want to hug her.

YES! One of the best parts of their fight! It's so obvious that she's hurting and they both love and hate each other at the same time. All the tension and different emotions in their interactions make their dynamic so interesting. I can't wait to see more of their backstory 💜🖤

I'm not watching. Are the hosts able to pronounce ŠČ? 🤣

I don't understand your question.

[thewinedarksea]

Have you contacted their customer support? My account only got returned because I sent a complaint.

I have! Was sending one ticket every two/three days and now I'm escalating to one ticket every day

I love how he's lecturing them. I find it hilarious all the time

Hi! I saw your tutorial to colorize gifs. I have Photoshop CC 2015 and I cannot find the neural filters option. Can I download a plugin or somehting?

hiii! as far as i know there are no plugins for them. they were added to photoshop cc for v.22 and newer, which would have been the one that came out either in 2020 or 2021. unfortunately, you'll have to upgrade or find a newer version in order to use them. sorry i can't help more!

Guys, Agatha and Rio fighting because of Billy is OKAY

Because it’s not really about Billy. It’s about them. Billy’s just the immediate problem, the catalyst for a fight that’s been brewing since the first episode.

Now I know there’s been more focus on Billy lately, the same way Wandavision at times focused on Monica and her hero origin story – but Billy's story is here because of what it tells us about Agatha – who's projecting hard on the boy (see my other meta post on their relationship).

And this development isn't a twist. The situation between two has always been tense (in ways good and bad). And it looks like these two messy bitches are basically making their relationship problems everyone’s problem.

Let’s look at what the text’s been telling us, shall we?

There’s animosity between Agatha and Rio that’s unresolved

As sexy their fight in episode one was (and boy was it), there’s certainly anger and resentment between the two, or at least the easily combustible grounds for it. Now we have an idea of why Agatha is mad at Rio (Nicky) although we're less clear about what Agatha did to piss Rio off: was it just Agatha running away or was it something specific she did?

Regardless I don't think Rio is kidding when making threats of bodily harm.

And neither does Agatha. But she knows all too well how quickly Rio caves to her pouty flirting (and let’s be honest Rio knows too), and basically manages to get a reprieve from her exe’s retribution in episode 1.

The agreement: They’ll continue fighting it out once Agatha gets her powers back.

We know this is a serious threat on the backburner because you can hear Agatha muttering about how "she's unstoppable" at the start of episode 2 while planning to flee.

More obviously, Agatha touches on it again in episode 4, asking for Rio to hold off on her violence until she finishes the Road, and they can hang out like old times: “Maybe the Road is like Switzerland…”

I absolutely get how it can be confusing because these two clearly still care for each other and are still attracted to each other, with lots of yearning looks across episode 4 and 5. As Schaeffer puts it, the muscle memory of that love is still there, feelings are still there. They were in love and there is still love between them.

But they never worked through what tore them apart in the first place.

And you can see this when Rio gently and firmly reminds Agatha that Billy isn't her son – that Nicky is really gone, and Rio still did the thing that Agatha hates her for.

Agatha closes herself off and runs, and Rio feels her scar tear open again.

Notably, Rio isn't sorry for doing her job. Her heartfelt confession – possibly the most emotionally vulnerable she can be – isn't an apology. She didn't want to hurt Agatha, but she couldn't do what Agatha wanted either. There's a disconnect there.

Chaotic vs Lawful: Billy is basically the new Nicky

Now we know Nicky was the reason they first separated. And it’s still a theory but I think there's a good chance of Rio wanting Billy dead because he probably should be. Billy Maximoff, born from The Hex, "broke the rules" to survive and some piece of Billy Kaplan still lives on despite a fatal car crash.

And that's partly why Agatha is hardcore-projecting on Billy, Agatha "I did not break the rules, they simply bent to my power" Harkness has always been a rule-breaker. That's what started her path to become the infamous witch-killer.

Not to mention Agatha is a shameless survivor. She'll certainly cheat or take shortcuts if she can get away with it. See episode 3:

Rio, by contrast, follows certain rules – which Agatha taunts her for — "You can't kill me, it's not allowed" – and she has a job she has to do, even if she doesn't want to. There’s a clash here of value systems as well.

To be fair, at this point Rio's motivations aren't entirely clear. It's possible Rio just wants more dead witches, or she gets impatient and angry and decides to go at that emotional vulnerability as a way of hurting her (“You’re vulnerable.” “Only physically.”)

Either way, Rio taking away a boy that Agatha now considers hers (even if only with a massive amount of projecting) after Agatha’s freshly reliving and processing the absolute devastation of Nicky's death. That is sure to bring things to an open conflict.

And these two (in their own way) are so dramatic.

Change and Growth

There are other factors as well, in terms of Agatha’s character arc and journey, which I’ve talked about in my other meta post on these two being star-crossed lovers.

It's a tragic, complicated story with these two. It’s about them, it’s about more than them.

@marril96 I want to thank you for initially mentioning this site. The books are a couple euros pricier there, but now I have another bookstore to use once BD is shut down.

Literally was about to go to sleep when I got a notification telling me Book Depository was shutting down this month.

What the actual fuck. This is heartbreaking. That was the only online bookstore I could afford throughout the years living in a small country.

Now where the hell am I supposed to find free shipment of books. At least they're letting us buy from there until the end of April. Fuckin' hell.

If you really think about it, Agatha's power is the ultimate self defense. Don't wanna die? Just don't attack her. Don't try to hurt or kill her.

Now, granted, accidents can happen, like in the case of Alice.

But I don't see why most people would fear her. Literally all they have to do is not put their handsmagic on her. Not that difficult.

Even when she's being annoying, these witches just don't have to attack her physically. Just annoy her back.

Yes, except it's not common knowledge that attacking her allows her to siphon their magic. She only told that to Lilia to gain her trust and Lilia shared that with others when she realized what Agatha wanted by provoking them. And telepaths can't read her mind. Neither Wanda nor Billy could do it. So there's no way for others to know not to attack her magically.

In my opinion her power is not what makes her dangerous. It might be rare but she's not the only one who can do it. Both Strange and Wanda attempted to do it to America too.

What make Agatha dangerous is her mind. She's smart and observant and very good at reading people. And she doesn't exactly make it easy for others to not attack her. Because she doesn't just annoy them. She finds the open wounds and twists the knife in them. She's really good at finding those in such a short time too.

That's one of the things about her that fascinates me. Her ability to see what pains someone gives her the power to either help or hurt those people and she wields that power amazingly and to her benefit. Like with Wanda she realized she needed a friend. And with Jen and Alice she knew how to help them.

Wandavision is a good example of how she works. She sensed Wanda's magic, instead of confronting her from the start. She became her friend, she tried to find out how Wanda did her spell in non-aggressive ways and only when her time was up when SWORD got involved she directly confronted Wanda. And then she actually spent time understanding Wanda.

And that understanding is her weakness as much as it is her strength. You can't understand someone and not care a little. So you see her have this wide range of confusing reactions in her whole interaction with Wanda.

And if her mind games don't work there are always important things to threaten to make someone attack her like how she used Wandas' kids to provoke her into an attack.

And while she's searching for others' vulnerabilities, she makes sure to keep her own secret.

-"you're vulnerable."

-"only physically."

She has already gone through the worst. Betrayal of her coven and mother, killing them because she didn't have control, loss of her child, heartbreak in her love life, being considered evil her whole life. There's nothing anyone could do to hurt her back. Not until now.

Now she's magically depleted. Cares about a kid, has a coven and her partner is back in her life. And just when she was warming up to them, she was hurt and betrayed again. I imagine she's going to be very pissed, closed off and spiteful next time we see her.

Just wondering if these same people have issues when, for example, a package of chocolate says it "may contain traces of nuts."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[thewinedarksea]

Last year I was temporarily banned from Pinterest because of "spam." Said "spam" was me saving a bunch of pics to my own folders. They consider that spam apparently. 🤦‍♀️ But they reinstated my account a few days later.

oh pinterest....yeah it's been about a week and I'm hoping not much longer—I miss sorting the pictures it's very soothing

[ally-holmes]

The way he looks at her when he reads that she had contacted her mother!! Gosh his amusement kills me.

What Agatha Harkness Is Like When She’s Turned On Would Include

Expect a lot of flirty jokes, each one getting more flirty and less joking. And when you start to sweat, she knows she’s got you.

After a bit of flirting, she’ll start touching you. There’s no reason for it, just because she wants the contact, and wants you to notice.

If you ignore her when she’s in the mood, especially if she knows you’re doing it just to antagonize her, she’ll quickly get angry. And those two moods combined is not a good mix.

If you do happen to not be in the mood, she’ll try a cute little pout to see if you’ll change your mind, and start whispering promises to do all of your favorite things if you’ll just help her out first. Tit for tat, she likes to say, with a flirtatious wink, of course.

It doesn’t even matter to her if the two of you are alone. Sure, she may not voice it to the entire room, but flustering you when others are around just serves to make her more turned on.

This happened today, and I totally didn't expect this when I started replying to the posts of one girl who paticipated in con. Or when I joined X in general.

I cried, I laughed, all at the same time, I felt my heart's gonna burst with happiness that he knows how highly I think of him.
