okay i actually like agatha’s ending plot-wise for several reasons:
1) agatha becoming the thing her ex hates is 100% on brand
2) she very obviously is committed to learning everything she can about how to use her ghost abilities and being agatha, probably grabbing any other power she can too
3) she’s sticking close to the only person who’s managed to shove dead souls into new bodies, gee i wonder if that was part of the risk she calculated when deciding which of them should live
4) this truly sets up so many potential delicious agathario futures. if agatha stays a ghost they’re both in eternal forms now. they can chase each other forever
i do wish we’d gotten more rio in the finale. there’s some really good subtext in there; she gave agatha six years with nicky, during which he created the song that wound up giving her so many, many bodies. it would’ve been amazing to see rio with agatha and nicky, to see them as the family we all imagined. it would’ve been amazing to have at least one scene of agatha and rio’s relationship before things went bad
so yeah, there’s definitely things i wish we could’ve gotten, but overall i think it was excellent and clearly crafted with so much care
please remember that this is still marvel and disney. jac schaeffer and team didn’t have a choice about billy being introduced or leaving the series alive. they chose to subvert the tropes people are ranting about by having agatha choose a physical death on her own terms and in a way that leaves a ton of possibilities for how she can claw her way into more power
i wish everyone who made kit connor feel he had to come out a very merry FUCK YOU. you forced an eighteen year old into coming out publicly, before he was ready, when he stated many many times he wanted to keep it private. how many more times does this shit have to fucking happen before some of you fucking clock that YOU CANNOT QUEERBAIT IN REAL LIFE. this is the natural end to the discourse of ‘if somebody is in the public eye playing a queer person they owe us their sexuality’, and it’s DEEPLY FUCKED UP, they do NOT owe you an answer, and this mindset JUST FORCED AN EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD TO OUT HIMSELF BEFORE HE WAS READY TO
I don't understand why people thought that we would get a happy ending for Agathario. At least for now.
I'm glad that by making her a ghost, there is a chance to bring her back to life. Though I ship Agathario A LOT, I want to see Agatha alive and powerful. I want to see her thrive and kick some ass!
Also, this is marvel. Couples usually don't get happy endings. Think about it. Most marvel love stories end tragically or go through a lot of trials before they reach a happy ending.
And this isn't THE END for Agatha. It's the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one. We will definitely get to see more of Rio.
Now, two last things:
I have to say that being a spirit guide to Billy could actually be quite fun. I mean, she will definitely be the most annoying ghost, but also a great mentor. It would also be interesting to see what powers she possesses as a ghost.
The fact that they keep her as a ghost means that someone could bring her back to life! I really want to see her back in her human form and powerful!! Her powers are one of my favorite things about her! I want to see her having an important role in the marvel universe. She is too powerful to not be utilized in future marvel projects!
Sorry for the rant, but I had to say this.
so I’ve been seeing a lot of people complaining about the finale of Agatha and I wanted to give my two cents on their main points: 
1. “they used agatha’s show as a way to promote a man!!” well yes! that’s how marvel tv works im afraid. or any tv, really. wandavision was used to introduce agatha and monica, which led to their projects in the mcu (aaa, marvels). agatha introduced billy, leading to his future in visionquest or his solo series, which will introduce tommy and vision, which will lead to children’s crusade to reintroduce wanda. this is common for any tv show, but especially a big, connected franchise like marvel. i find it so concerning that even after all the promotion that showed us billy and agatha as co-leads, people were STILL shocked when the finale sets up a future story centered around him. like i hate to break it to yall but marvel wants money. and more shows means more money.
2. “they killed off a lesbian woman and not the gay man!” first of all, in the comics, agatha is a spirit guide for the scarlet witch. this form is her most comic accurate yet. also, did yall really think that was an unfair ending? or an ending PERIOD? all her death made me think of was the possibilities for the future with both billy AND rio. and again; rio was promoted as the ‘antagonist’ to agatha since the beginning. i don’t know how people went into this excepting a happily ever after for these two. they were always depicted as tragic lovers, and i honestly think the kiss of death was beautiful and poetic. i also don’t think this is the last we’re seeing of rio. and, as a side note, homophobia is still not okay! it doesn’t matter if you’re also gay; lesbians can be homophobic towards gay men, and gay men can be lesbophobic towards lesbians. and i’ve seen wayyyy too much of both in this fanbase. you can criticize characters and critique actors without bringing up their sexuality. we have enough incel homophobes doing that for us
3. if you’re still complaining about wanda not coming back i have no hope for you
4. this show, since day ZERO, was promoted as a show with billy and agatha as coleads. while i wish we had more backstory for how agatha and rio met, the salem flashbacks involving nicholas, the road scheme, and the song were much more important to the show. the parallels between nicky and billy were explored throughout the season a lot more than agatha and rios story (whether or not you like it, it’s still true (i personally wish we had a bit more on how they met 😭))
5. sending hate to actors about things their characters did is STILL not okay! and never will be!
6. this might be a hot take but if you’re only watching a show for a ship and don’t care about the story at all your opinion is irrelevant to me. like people who started watching after it was revealed in the show that agatha and rio were lovers (because, correct me if i’m wrong, this was never revealed before the episodes dropped) have no right to be upset when the show focuses on other things. and this is coming from a MASSIVE fan of agathario. and a lesbian. i loved the fact that i was watching characters who just happened to be lesbians have their own story. yes, i wish there was more agathario in the flashbacks. but i’m really not upset at all by what we got. and don’t get me wrong, people have every right to be disappointed, but they don’t have the right to hate on the creators and actors of the show. that’s not cool.
this is way longer than i thought it was gonna be 😭😭 hope everyone enjoyed the finale
I'm gonna say this only once and then I'm not going to answer any more asks about it:
WHETHER AUBREY PLAZA AND JEFF BAENA WERE SEPARATED AT THE TIME OF HIS DEATH IS
1. NONE OF OUR FUCKING BUSINESS
2. NOT IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER WHEN IT COMES TO HER GRIEF OVER HIS DEATH
She can still grieve over him. They were together over a decade now. It still hurts no matter what. Even if they'd broken up YEARS AGO it wouldn't matter. She could still grieve and be incredibly heartbroken by it. Rumors of them separating only serve to give reason to why she might not be "that sad" over his death. They are disgusting, classless, and cruel ESPECIALLY given the circumstances.
I do not KNOW Aubrey. I did not KNOW Jeff. I cannot say how they felt about each other. I cannot say whether they were broken up or together, but either way IT'S NONE OF MY OR ANYBODY ELSE'S FUCKING BUSINESS.
Anybody who spreads rumors like this is evil for doing so and not somebody I want to be associated with.
Leave Aubrey the fuck alone. She is GRIEVING. Let her be in peace for fucks sakes.
ai does not belong in creative spaces. period.
Reminder
Taylor made Paper Rings (a song about marrying someone even if it isn’t showy) track 8 on her seventh studio album Lover
And made the title track, Lover (A SONG SHE MADE TO PLAY AT WEDDINGS THAT INCLUDES WEDDING VOWS) track 3
8.3 is Karlie Elizabeth Kloss’ birthday
How did she get away with this?
How did she make it out of the Lover era still straight to some fans?!
tw rape
I haven't seen anyone on here talk about it so I'm gonna. In her new documentary dancing with the devil, demi lovato opened up about how she was raped by a fellow disney actor she'd been seeing at 15, and when she spoke out nobody believed her and he was not pulled out of whatever movie he was in. She also said that the whole purity ring waiting until marriage disney crowd mindset made her blame herself and think it wasn't really rape. So I just wanna say, from the bottom of my heart, FUCK disney.
How did I start modding? Literally no one has asked this, but here's my story, don't worry it's not long... I guess that depends on what your definition of “long” is, haha! Hang on, here we go.
On a random day in January, 2024, a few days before my birthday, I might add... I woke up to stars in my right eye. A few days later, I was told I had a very rare injury and it would never heal. Those are not words an artist/gamer wants to hear! Long story short, I am now legally blind in my right eye. If you think, oh that's not a huge deal, you can still see. Humor me, get a cheap pirate eyepatch, put that on, then pour yourself a cup of coffee. Not as easy as you thought, right? Depth perception. It’s a thing. Anyway, on with the story. Suffice it to say, I was depressed. Majorly. Then, through some random conversation somewhere, I found Stardew Valley.
Perfect! 2D animation, cute pixel art, story that's not sugar-coated anime, I love it! Got to year 3, TBH I've never played past year 3 because ADHD, and realized the dialogue was quite lacking. Then I discovered mods. What the-, it's a freakin' goldmine! Downloaded a lot of things, mostly dialogue, and tossed half of them. While playing through a Sebastian run, I saw it. Oh. My. God. It's a coding error glaring at me in my dialogue box. This is NOT acceptable. I tried to ignore it, but then it happened again. Okay, time for some investigation. I opened the folder and found... json files. Interesting, I wasn't entirely clueless since I do know HTML code from back when the internet was a baby, Facebook had no ads, and dinosaurs roamed the earth. Okay, okay, the internet was more like a spoiled toddler. Yes, I'm old. Shut up. But I digress. It didn't take long to discover the misplaced punctuation and go on my merry reality-avoiding way. Until I got bored again.
I looked for more Seb mods, but there were like seven. Three were yandere, not my jam, and only 2 were updated for 1.6 and were dialogue-only. Solution? Make my own mod for myself. I spent six weeks downloading mods, learning code, Googling to very little effect, writing dialogue, learning how to make an event, discovering I knew nothing, and on and on. The perfect distraction from the whole eye thing. I finished a decent draft, loaded it up, and praise Yoba, it worked! And on we play. At some point, I saw a comment complaining about the lack of Sebastian dialogue mods. Huh, yep, they're right. Too bad. Oh. Well, I guess I could load this thing I made, it's really just my own internal story monologue while playing the game, I'm NOT a writer, and most people probably won't get it. But I did spend a lot of time on this, and maybe someone out there will like it. Heck, no skin off my nose since it's free. So I took a deep breath, made peace with my inner demons, and threw it out into the void of Nexus, expecting it to be swallowed up and ignored. That... didn't happen.
In the first few hours, several people downloaded it. Huh, Nexus must have a decent search algorithm. That was literally all I thought about it. The next day, 300 downloads. And comments! Mostly positive with the exception of one wild demand I subsequently ignored. At one week, it had 3,000 unique downloads. I was floored, 3,000 weirdos downloaded my mod. Add to that, people seemed to actually like it! I've never gotten so much positive feedback for anything in my life. Seriously. Apparently, my oddball internal monologue, thanks ADHD, is quite entertaining. Heck, might as well make another one... and here we are. Yes, I've gotten negative comments and unreasonable demands, but I do my best to ignore them and practice staying positive. Trolls be damned! It's a lot harder to do that for yourself than for other people, turns out.
So, bottom line, found something interesting? Try it! Does it make you happy? Keep doing it! Even if it's only for yourself, do the thing and let it make you smile. Share it with the world if you're so inclined. Get out there and kick ass!!
people all collectively coming to tumblr to see if ao3 is down for other people too or if it’s just them and their wifi is so poetically nostalgic when you think about it, because in some way, it’s the equivalent of those times in the past when you’re a kid and visiting your grandparents’ home and there’s a blackout and so you just walk outside of the house to see if your neighbors experience the same thing too. the ao3 is just. like. a modern version of that
