the final trial forced agatha to accept that nicky's death was never rio's fault. sometimes, boys die. agatha never would have kissed rio, showing that she chooses death, without first realizing that.
now that agatha is a ghost, which we know rio will despise, it sets them up for more deliciously antagonistic interactions BUT it also sets them up for healthier interactions than they've had in centuries. when we see them again, their interactions will likely take on a lighter, more playful tone than anything we've seen so far.
because agatha no longer blames rio, and rio was able to take agatha willingly instead of giving her 'special treatment' that would reveal its own cost sooner or later, they're now standing on more equal footing with one another and each is able to see the other more clearly. of course they still have centuries of emotional avoidance (mostly on agatha's part) to sift through, but their main problem was agatha blaming rio for something rio couldn't help, and rio trying to protect agatha from loss by bending the rules for her but really only delaying the inevitable.
agatha needed to accept that rio's role is indiscriminate, and rio needed to accept that agatha is mortal and therefore subject to the same natural laws as any other human. this new level of mutual acceptance brings down a HUGE emotional barrier to their eventual reconciliation, and is a damn good development for agatha's show to conclude with.
toxic yuri soulmates who will always find their way back to each other as their shared love forces them to slowly let go of the beliefs that drive them apart and become less toxic brain go brrrrrrrrrr🤯
Dinesh spotted a meditative video of Gilfoyle on Tara's channel and suddenly realised that it was working like a sleeping aid on him.
Springandastorm's ‘Sleep Aid’ footage is on AO3, but the scene I depicted wasn't there
Динеш запалил на канале Тары медитативное видео с Гилфойлом и внезапно осознал, что на нем это работает как снотворное.
Сюжет "Sleep Aid" от Springandastorm на АОЗ, но изображенной мною сцены там не было
Heyo, as you all probably know Conversion Therapy is a crime and violates against our rights!
However not all countries have outlawed the practice, like my homecountry austria, grrr.
But if the EU bans it, it will force the EU-Memberstates to take action and also ban it nationally!
So please, if your a citizen of the EU sign this petition to make our voices heard and get this law suggestion to the EU Commission who will then get it to the parlament!
And if you aren't in the EU, reblog, spread the word to people you know who can sign this.
Every signature counts! We've got till May 2025 to get to a million!
Wa-fucking-hoo for the OFMD fandom! :) <3
sometimes i watch golden girls and i just tear up remembering everything each cast member did for the queer community
estelle getty lost her nephew to AIDS and moved in with him during the last months of his life to take care of him. she started a foundation that cares for people affected by AIDS that's still there to this day. she saw one of the writers on her show was queer, walked right up to him and said "you're one of us!" and promised to protect him. she put her career on the line to become an outspoken ally of AIDS patients at a time when it would've been career suicide
bea arthur was a staunch gay and trans ally who donated a lot of her time and money to helping homeless lgbt youth. when she died, she left them thousands of dollars to stay afloat after she was gone. she was incredibly socially active in the queer community!
rue mcclanahan was a staunch advocate of marriage rights for gay couples and openly devoted her time and money for the fight for equality. she also openly participated in queer spaces and loved the community with her entire heart. she was intimately aware of gay mens' particular love for her character blanche and she fully embraced it
everybody knows by now about betty white's activism, but i'll say it anyway. not only did she join the fight for marriage equality, but she was a great mother to her lesbian stepdaughter. she participated in anti-bullying campaigns specifically against lgbt youth. she accompanied liberace to events because it wasn't safe for him to be out. she loved us and she fought for us just like the others
all four of them did SO MANY amazing things for us, and it makes me happy that we had people like them -- that we still do in people like dolly parton! we didn't deserve them. i wish i could've met all of them and told them how grateful i am!
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?
The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.
Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.
Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
When Agatha and Billy find Tommy I kinda want him to remember everything that happened inside of the hex. He would remember spending time with the Version of Billy in the hex and he’d remember Wanda and Vision as his parents, it would be so good.
Because then we’d have one twin who managed to save himself, but does not have any memories of being Billy nor of Wanda, Vision and Tommy. He can just sense Tommy being around and missing a part of him. Not having these memories Billy has canonically found a new family for himself (Agatha, Williams Parents, Eddie) and he doesn’t see Wanda and Vision as parental figures because he does not remember their love. He only knows what he was told about Wanda and that’s all been awful.
Meanwhile Tommy would only have that. Everything that’d have ever happened to him would be what happened in the hex so he would cling to it. He would beg Billy to remember as well and he would probably hate Agatha for what she did to his mom (at least at first) and not understand how Billy could see her as a mentor / aunt / parental figure.
My point being: Billy wouldn’t see Wanda and Vision as his parents and Tommy would. Thus: The Angst. The Conflict. Tommy trying to get Billy to remember just to realize that the Billy HE remembers ISNT THE CURRENT BILLY.
And BILLY having gone through ABSOLUTE HORRORS to get Tommy back only to be COMPARED to a version of himself that he doesn’t remember over and over AND OVER
OH GOD I COULD TALK ABOUT THIS HEADCANON ALL DAY SOMEONE HELP ME
It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.
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.
