okay so agatha all along episode 5 spoilers and all that but are we ignoring the fact that evanora set up that entire scenario to FORCE someone into attacking Agatha to "prove" that she was evil?????? and also the like. severely heavily implied abusive relationship between agatha and her mother??? because im not

#agatha all along #agatha harkness #evanora harkness #the fact that rio was SO MAD at evanora speaks volumes to how bad agathas relationship with her was #and also recontextualises the scene where agatha kills her like murder is still bad but agatha almost seems relieved after she kills her mu #was discussing this with my housemate and we're both of the opinion that ummmm. agathas powers could be a defense mechanism #like. witch mother and implied abusive dymamic and the ability to TAKE magic SPECIFICALLY when she's attacked with it?????????#also BEGGING her coven pleading with them. 'please i can be good' i genuinely feel sick. what a throwback to wandavision #it's so obvious that all she's ever tried to do is prove she can be good and yet never been given the chance to do so #and it doesn't excuse that she's so awful but it explains why she's so horrible. because nobody believes she can be good #and it hurts less if they're right so she'd rather ignore her morals than realise that everyone was wrong abt her #and villainised her over an ability she can't even control #there's sooooo much nuance because she can't control the power but she can control goading people into using them #so witches around her assume that absorbing their magic is intentional when it's not. she just baits people into attacking her and it works
