Fanfiction Recommendation 163: The Romance Of It All (Good Omens)

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.

agatha finale rant

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

the urge i feel to be a librarian at a gothic style academic library walking around the creaky wood floors and climbing ladders to put away books

Help ban Conversion Therapy in the EU!

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!

Love the contrast between the two last episodes, with a mother that became a famous rockstar to protect her daughter from a curse, creating a protection spell so popular and powerful that it’s being sung somewhere every moment of every day; and in the next episode we have a mother that deems her child evil and wants her dead even from beyond her own grave

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

I watched a video today that has me convinced that watching Shrek over and over again is a very efficient way to learn a language.

This channel called One Word At a Time often does these videos where he assumes it takes 20 exposures to a word in context to understand it and runs some numbers to see how quickly you’d learn words if you watch a certain series or read a kids book or whatever.

Here’s the thing. In most of his videos he assumes you’re watching one episode a day or something and it takes like 100-200 days to acquire 1000-2000 words.

Here’s the thing though. Shrek has 1200 unique words in it. So if you watch Shrek once a day you get that done in 20 days.

And he was being like “this seems like such a dull way to learn a language”

Dull? Shrek? You think Shrek will get dull? Maybe for you but I’m someone who rewatches things to death. If what you’re saying is true, you just found the hack. The jump to A2. The shortcut to god mode. All your other calculations took hundreds of days to learn this many words, sir. Shrek is the answer.
