ngl im fucking terrified of how the fandom will act when the asian ccs get added and they are confronted with asian customs such as honorifics, asian cultural norms, and the language itself (ie words that are common in one language that sounds like a slur in another) and i know most of the fandom will be open and welcoming but idk im probably being way too pessimistic as someone who is asian and has seen the bs that people can spew esp regarding things like stereotypes

As densely packed as I could tolerate making it- Roxie doodles! (Vast majority of these are from several weeks ago I'm not gonna lie,,)

its entirely possible this element may come up again in the second half of the show, but as of the first half of agatha all along i think the choice of opening with a vaguely psychological crime drama agathas (own?) delusion is simply great.

while it is also played for laughs (the accent, the over-acting, the cliches etc), the genre conventions are used to quickly establish agathas emotional relation to her pain re: her powers and nicholas right off the bat.

for almost a full episode, before the show becomes a full-blown spooky fantasy with gothic undertones, we follow agatha in a genre that strives to be "more real" than reality: cold, hard, damp, gray, somber and most importantly violent. 'agnes' - like many modern detectives' - lives entrenched in violence, but from a particular position of power: she follows the violence when it (often) manifests itself around her, she neglects her personal life and well being in favor of searching its culprits while she herself perpetuates it by abusing suspects and being a shit to other people. but of course the original trauma that keeps her both obsessed and distant is the mystery that is the loss of nicholas - who by the way is a complete negative image, only existing as an absence, an empty room, a tear and a scar for agatha. it all fits with what we later discover about agatha: she doesnt fully control her violent power, which both fills her with a perverse glee and keeps her perpetually isolated from the rest of humanity, causing her to want to learn more and more even at the cost of trampling those who stand in her way or, worse, those who love her. what happened to nicholas is a case yet to be solved, just not by agatha.

the show writes and stages all this with the realtively dry and un-glamorous crime drama gravitas that is culturally synonymous with "unspeakably deep-rooted pain that dictates an entire existence" in television: dull colors, perpetual rain or darkenss, no close-ups and no camera movement unless 'agnes' is alone or something off-genre is happening, longer shots and moments of silence. it all immediately feels depressing, before the audience even discovers the half of it. so when the pieces of the puzzle are later unveiled we're alreayd primed for the emotional punch even if the tone got sillier and melodramatic, because we have seen agatha in a conventionally 'realistic' way that serves as a (literally) grounded baseline for the later reveals
