Hiya, You can call me Georgie :) My pronouns are she/her, i'm a Leo and an Infp. I really just come on here to yap about my hyper fixations so that the people in my life can stop having to hear about them 24/7 (jk, there is no escape for them). I love writing and video editing so I post a bit of that stuff too. I’d really love to make some friends on here so please feel free to reach out to me via asks (and know that I do want to talk to you I’m just socially incapable)!
If you'd like to request a fic the requirements are here.
Just realized that while Agatha extended her arms towards Rio to cup her face she stopped walking towards her. Rio is the one who enters her personal space.I think its another muscle memory of their relationship. Whenever Agatha reaches for her, Rio automatically meets her halfway.
Like, I get that Nicky probably does have a real father, but I'm also just choosing to believe that Rio knew Agatha wanted a child so she just like, made her immaculately conceive one without thinking about the consequences. And then Death's child could not survive, because of course Death's child could not actually be alive, but Agatha was so desperate and heartbroken at the thought of losing their child that Death promised her time. And Agatha had to suck the life, suck the magic out of her fellow witches to feed her child because he was Death's child, and Death feeds on life, feeds on bodies, and the only way to keep him with her was to feed him so she did. But one night, just as Rio had promised, time was up, and Death came back to claim her child, had him kiss his earthly mother twice upon the cheek, and held his hand as they walked down the road together.
im so not ok with the last two episodes of agatha all along. like they had their good moments but gosh that was so anticlimactic. what even was that. it made no sense. why did billy hate agatha for like ten seconds at the end? why was there no post credit scene? where was the agathario backstory????
One of my favourite parts of ace representation in heartstopper is the clear difference between Tori and Isaac. Whilst Tori is clearly uncomfortable about any discussions of sex, Isaac is happy to hear about his friend's sex lives and not completely unsettled by it. Honestly it's just details like this which so clearly highlight that asexuality is a spectrum. Alice never fails.

So there are two main occasions where I think flowers are used specifically for symbolism in relation to Agatha and Rio...
The first is the flower which Rio offers Agatha when she arrives on the road. It is my personal belief that this flower is an Azalea (It looks like it + that's the flower she had in her front yard in WandaVision so it makes sense for Agatha either way)
So from this we can presume that the Azalea is used to symbolise Agatha. Now, what does this mean?
Well, the Azalea flower has a lot of different meanings across different cultures. I read that 'It was often sent as a gift when one person urged another to reconsider their feelings' which would relate to Rio's desire for Agatha to forgive her.
The meaning of the Azalea flower is also linked to a story about a Chinese Emperor who experienced victory and glory in war but was lonely despite this (Agatha being a very powerful and successful witch but having no coven and being an outcast from other witches) one day he was given Azalea's and immediately fell in love (As Agatha did with Rio) and planted them in his garden (The Azaleas in Agnes' garden). This links in to the overarching theme throughout AAA which became especially clear in ep 7, which is the witch's need for connection and community through their coven.
In Chinese and Japanese cultures it is also a symbol of homesickness (Perhaps Rio feeling a homesickness for Agatha as we know she has been unable to reach Agatha for quite some time). There is also the aspect that Azaleas are highly toxic (Rip Sparky...) and receiving a bouquet of them in a black vase is considered a death threat (We have all seen how open Rio is to killing Agatha).
The next plant we see in relation to Agatha and Rio is the Ivy which is on the broom Agatha gives Rio. I'm far more certain about this one because we can clearly see that this is ivy.
So again, there are a few different interpretations of the symbolism of Ivy, but all of them in some way relate to Rio.
Firstly, fidelity. Ivy is known to cling onto anything it attaches to and is hard to remove or get rid of making it a symbol of fidelity (Like how Rio hasn't let go of Agatha even though Agatha has iced her out for so long *cough cough* 'She is my scar').
The next commonly accepted symbolism is eternal life because ivy is an evergreen plant. Obviously we know now that Rio is death, meaning that it is her job to reap souls and take them to the afterlife - therefore providing eternal life.
In ancient Egypt ivy was dedicated to the god Osiris. Osiris played a double role as the god of fertility and also the embodiment of death (sound familiar?). So this plays into the way that AAA has put an emphasis on Rio, as death, also being THE green witch. They're really highlighting death as an equal part of the lifecycle. I think the fertility part of this may also play into Nicholas and Agatha and Rio's role in that.
Now this one I had to do a bit of a deep dive for but... according to this website I read ivy 'lives on after its host plant dies' which is SO related to Rio's job of allowing souls to live on after the body dies.
It is also said that ivy represents 'the eternal binding together of lovers' which would symbolise Rio's desire for Agatha to die so that they can be together eternally.
It is also related to protection so it could be said Agatha giving Rio a broom with ivy on it was a form of protection.
Again, ivy is mildly poisonous if eaten, continuing this theme of underlying toxicity in both their personal attributes and their relationship.
Ok so that is it for now!! Honestly I'm just being delusional and clutching on straws but y'know !!!
