So now we've seen the finale, now we've seen how Rio chose to present to first Agatha before everything went wrong (coming for Nicky at his birth), and then to Nicky, while Agatha was sleeping - that gorgeous green dress, holding the green flame aloft. It's very different from the way she showed herself to Lilia.
It's also wildly different than how she chooses to appear to Agatha in the end. Rio's wild with grief. She's been pining for centuries. Agatha has just given her the most final, definitive, insulting no she could muster. There is no future here. There is no past to hold on to. There is only Agatha telling her she doesn't want her. That even in the end, she doesn't want the comfort of passing into a lover's embrace - she wants Rio masked. She wants Rio, essentially, to roleplay anonymity, strangeness, distance.
Now. Given what actually happens - and their moments of tenderness and Agatha's part in them throughout the rest of the show - I don't think we can take Agatha at face value here. But it is the first time Rio's heard Agatha's "no" when it comes to their relationship's viability.... and believed it.
To Agatha, in the moment immediately before everything went wrong, Death appeared as a beautiful woman, bedecked in green, expensive, well-made clothes. She appears the same way to Nicky. She's familiar, she's non-threatening. She tells him to come with her and he goes. She tells him no, kiss your mother, and he does. She extends her hand to him, and he takes it, and they walk together through the darkness. He knows her.
I wonder if she could ever be that version of herself again - or if it went with Nicky. I think there's a subtextual reading of what's going on in Agatha/Rio's relationship where Rio's grieving, too, but Agatha will never be able to see it, for so many reasons - where Rio's angry because she knows she'll never stop being invisible in this way. Where all she wants is for Agatha to see her.
ao3 turns 15 today
reblog if youre older than ao3
(there's a lot of people asking about this, but the legal age to use social media is 13, except in few countries. so yes, there are people here under 15)
You think for one moment 1A wouldn’t get suuuper drunk from time to time? (Whenever Iida is visiting his family…)
Todoroki is immune to alcohol. He can take ten shots and not even slur his words. He’s a master and we fear him. Whare does the vodka go??? No one knows. At least he chills beers for them.
Momo is also unaffected, but that’s cos she takes two sips and then changes all the alcohol in her system into something productive for society, like buckets for her classmates to throw up in.
Midoriya thinks he’ll be a lightweight but is fairly decent at holding his drinks, plus he’s got such a high tolerance for pain that hangovers barely affect him.
Bakugou, however, IS a lightweight and it’s beautiful. He refused to drink at first and when Kami finally dared him he was done after two drinks. He lost ability to function logically and cannot remember anything. Bakusquad claimed he made fireworks with his quirk and food colouring but it’s unconfirmed. Apparently Kirishima had to carry him to bed.
Kaminari and Mina started the drinking, and they usually drink the most (bar the absolute monster that is Todoroki) so they get the most drunk (except Bakugou who has the tolerance of a fucking bumble bee). Whilst drunk they often mess with their more serious classmates or start stupid games
Tokoyami never gets drunk because bottles aren’t bird friendly and he can’t see glass. This means he has plenty of blackmail material
One time in their second year Iida came back early and somehow it was decided that Bakugou should stop him from entering, since he was the only one who didn’t reek of alcohol. (due to his inability to consume the substance in large quantities). What followed was the most gut wrenching conversation Iida has ever participated in, drunk Baku becoming his therapist for three hours whilst everyone else either passed out or cleaned up
Aizawa knows exactly what’s going on and is being bribed by Mic to keep it secret, since he feels some comraderie with the teenagers.
I love that in the ten years I've been on tumblr, tumblr users' attitude towards tumblr has come full circle, now we're back where we started at "tumblr is our beloved home, no other social media can compare, no other website has what we have, do not trust other websites, do not tell the outsiders about us", only this time we're like. Really exhausted and with a sense of irony about it.
Ok but Rio kissing with her eyes opened while Agatha kisses with them shut says a lot about the dynamic 🤔
Hello, I’ve been enjoying MCC recently, but I think I could be enjoying it more. As such I present my suggestions to tumblr for consideration.
We will find out in Alecto the Ninth whether Kiriona's chest has teeth or ribs.
She cites Final Fantasy and Animorphs as intros to SFF. On Animorphs: "Nobody's safe in that book. Everyone's dead by the end. It was an influence."
The 1.5 page outline of the Locked Tomb was written in the back of a notebook which Tamsyn was using to teach herself Latin. She has (except for the detail of Gideon being a fireman) followed this guide throughout.
She is still writing Alecto the Ninth. She feels tremendous pressure, primarily from herself, to produce a satisfactory ending.
On Tasha Suri saying she still doesn't know what Homestuck is after watching a 2 hour video about it: "Neither do I."
She says she is working through creating the balance between a Catholic worldview and the critique of imperialism. She hopes that the balance will be struck correctly. "I'm kinda worried about being excommunicated. For one scene in particular."
Hope to post a full transcript tonight or tomorrow.
