The demonization of Women of color comes from the fact white women are taught to be victims, woc are taught to not take that shit.
THE DEMONIZATION OF WOC COMES FROM THE FACT THE WHITE WOMEN WILL ALWAYS BE VICTIMS AND WOC ARE TAUGHT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES
I say this as a white woman. Growing up i was taught to just go along be polite and "proper" which often leads to being turned into a silent victim. When I was woth my mexican side of my family they taught me how to defend myself whwn people are being creepy. When I was on a black cheerleading team (long story) those girls helped defend me and showed me not to take everything a guy qould do to mw.
White women normalize being victims of men. WOC will always defend themselves. Men use that "violence" to create the "angry" black woman sterotype, the "unreasonable" mexican.
When Scarlett Johansson joined the Marvel universe all the way back in 2010, she did not have the ability that current actresses in the franchise have now and that is the ability to be seen as a valuable member of the team as opposed to an accessory.
My girl was being sexualised at every single interview, being asked if she wore underwear under her black widow suit and even being groped by interviewers. Natashaâs background was only slightly explored and her fighting style consisted of wrapping her legs around menâs heads in order to further appeal the male audience.
Yelena has the story arc she has and the ability to grow as a character because Scarlett fought for her to when she was producing the Black Widow movie. It makes me so upset that she knew she would never get the superhero experience that the men around her had, so she put aside her own spotlight in order to give Florence the standing that she couldnât have.
I will not accept Natasha slander because Scarlett put everything she had into that character for a decade and had to go through so much just to be a part of that franchise.
YES the Thunderbolts have a fantastic team as family dynamic, yes they are living in Avengers tower, yes history is repeating itself and 2012 tower fics are so back. BUT!
instead of "Alexei eating poptarts" or "Yelena in the vents", we must come up with new headcanons and make history
Bob always does normal domestic chores, often getting in the way of important missions and spy business. "All I'm saying is Bucky is our best sniper" "It would be a much quieter assassination if I just slipped into the condo and cut hisâ" "Hey sorry guys, anyone have laundry? I'm doing a load"
Yelena and her guinea pig always eat meals together at the dining table. Everyone has their Chinese food or barbeque, meanwhile the rodent is loudly munching on a salad right beside them
Bucky is the mom and always keeps them on track. "Ava you have a dentist appointment in the morning, and bring Bob so they can add him to the insurance. Lena how was therapy? Alexei, I said no vodka until dinner"
Alexei is always coming up with new promotional ideas for the team. Cartoon tv show, cereal, toothpaste flavour...every day he thinks he's come up with the next big thing. Whenever they actually get put into production (Wheaties) he collects and saves it, and won't let anyone use a different product. (He threw out Yelena's frosted flakes and it took both Bucky and John to get her to stop attacking him)
Ava likes to phase and sneak attack her teammates at random. She claims it's for training but really she just thinks it's funny hearing them scream
John gets blamed for everything, even if it isn't his fault. Especially if it isn't his fault: "who ate the last bagel?" "John." "Where's my hair straightener?" "John had it." "Whose turn is it to unload the dishwasher?" "Johnnnn"
Can we take a moment away from Agatha's all encompassing grief for her son and acknowledge Rio's grief as well? Because she's Nicky's mother too.
She is Death, her son was never going to live, and unlike Agatha, Rio had nothing to rage against.
She's the cycle of life and the inevitable end but does being the personification of that really change anything about the fact that she had to take the soul of her own son?
She gave Agatha the one gift that was in her power to grant - even though it was against her own nature and against the natural order of things - she gave her love time.
And Agatha had six years with Nicky.
Rio didn't.
She might have been able to watch him through every dying flower he plucked from its stem and she might have caught a few moments when Nicky was at his closest to her - likely whenever it had been a while since Agatha had killed the latest batch of witches and used their life force to extend Nicky's life for a little longer - when he slept and the delirium of someone terminally ill granted her access.
But those would have been stolen glimpses. Brief, and precious, and painful.
And Agatha could hate Death. Could take all that grief and turn it into anger. She could hide her pain behind that fury. There's a sort of relief to that.
What did Rio have?
Love so strong she broke the natural order that governs her? A son she could only love from a distance as he grew... but couldn't grow up? Eternal hatred of the one person in eons she had ever fallen in love with?
And maybe Rio can visit Nicky in whatever corner of eternity she had helped him cross over to - I hope she can, it would be far too cruel otherwise - but does that really erase the tragedy here?
And on top of that pain there's also the fact that Agatha has avoided Rio for centuries and ultimately asks Rio to promise her that she would never ever have to see Rio's face again.
Death can be cruel. But I think sometimes mortals win that particular game by a mile.
Who knows, maybe they'll eventually release more of the backstory and this will end up being what their plans were initially, but my personal headcanon that I think makes Agatha's hatred make SO MUCH MORE SENSE and also makes it all so much more tragic is...
I think that one of them was supposed to die during childbirth - but not necessarily Nicholas. One soul was supposed to be taken - Nicholas OR Agatha, just like Rio gave the choice between Agatha and Billy. Just one, to keep the balance.
Agatha was begging for her to take her instead of Nicholas, to give her that choice, and Rio, unable to make any choice at all in her grief, gave her time. Six years.
Rio loved them both, but taking Agatha out of the world was a different kind of pain for her, one she wasn't able to face - so she took Nicholas, without giving Agatha the choice to give herself instead.
That is how she "took" - she did take Nicholas, and she also took that choice from her.
It was her job, though, and something that was never going to be avoided...so she traded one pain and loss for another, and gave Agatha nothing to trade at all.
When Billy asks, "Is this how Nicky died?" (yes yes I know the interview came out where it wasn't even supposed to be in there), the answer actually is yes - Nicholas died so Agatha could live, to fix that balance, that one soul that was needed, just like she was about to let Billy do for her.
But this time, there is a choice. And Agatha makes it, for herself.
And Rio lets her, gives her the choice that she was not ready to give her before.
And then in that hardcore make-out, there is understanding, and forgiveness, and closure, and the end.
Of course, this assumes that Rio could have just done that, but honestly...makes sense to me. If Billy was such an abomination, then how could order be restored with just Agatha's soul in exchange? It definitely tracks (to me, at least) that the choice could have existed for Agatha to give her life for Nicholas, but Rio just couldn't bring herself to do it.
she fucked the grim reaper, she made a baby from scratch, she's a con artist and a scammer, she blew up the hindenburg, she sank the titanic, she served cunt, she's annoying and mean, she's traumatized, she's thee jolene, situationship so bad she's gaining custody of twins in the afterlife, she's even a lesbian!! agatha harkness most character of all time
âAgatha canât control her powers and kills a bunch of people, this explains why Death is in love with her because it means she gets more bodiesâ No.
No no no.
I need âAgatha canât control her powers and the first time someone blasted her with their magic they died right in front of her and she was only seven years old and terrified and alone until suddenly there was a small little girl across from her who gently took her hand and told her it was okayâ
I need âAgatha canât control her powers and had a tantrum, purple exploding out of her, but the other witch was too fast and Agatha blinked and they were dead on the ground and she scrambled back against the wall, curling up into a little ball and shaking, shaking, shaking, until someone just as young and soft as her stroked her hair back and told her they knew it was an accidentâ
I need âAgatha canât control her powers and was beaten and bruised by her mother until she couldnât take it anymore and ran off into the woods and was blasted by someone who thought she was a witch hunter, and she didnât even realize what was happening until it was too late. Agatha climbing into a tree and scraping her cheek and trembling as she stared at the lifeless witch, something rattling deep inside of her that sounded like a strangerâs voice. And then the stranger appearing through the thick, standing over the dead body and instantly looking up, looking for Agatha. Finding her in the tree and climbing in with her. Smoothing a thumb across her cheek until it didnât sting anymoreâ
I need âAgatha canât control her powers and any spell she tries goes haywire, the final teacher that swore she could fix her grey and lifeless on the floor as Agatha sat up on the kitchen table and just stared and stared, tears falling, always falling, until that familiar face appeared through the bedroom doorway, watching Agatha, not the woman, and threaded their fingers together. Guided her to cracked, dusty skin and forced her to feel it, hand pressing hers into dead flesh and murmuring âexceptionalâ under her breath before explaining every single step of reaping a soul. Talking and talking until Agatha wasnât crying anymore, until she couldnât remember why she had been upset in the first placeâ
I need âAgatha canât control her powers but she also couldnât control her temper, and suddenly half of a coven was dead before her, barely eighteen years old, and then the girl, also freshly a woman, the closest thing she knew to having a friend, sliding up behind her and placing a hand on her shoulder, wiping her tears away. Shushing her pleas of âwhy canât I control it? Why do I ruin everything I touch?â with soft murmurs of âthereâs nothing wrong with you. You didnât kill them. They simply⊠bent to your power.ââ
I need âAgatha canât control her powers but she sure as hell tried, until she was tied to a stake and her coven fell at her feet and her mother crumpled before her, hellbent until the moment she died to punish Agatha for things she had never meant to do. Agatha, with her grief and her relief and her freedom, finally, somehow still sobbing over her motherâs death, curled up far away and safe in the woods. Safe until Death came for her, hands cupping her face too tenderly, too delicately, and forced Agatha to meet her eyes. Death, who had somehow become the only one to ever show her mercy and kindness and compassion, leaning her forehead against hers and whispering âitâs okay. I am so proud of you.â Death leaning in so, so hesitantly and pressing the smallest kiss to her mouth. Breaths hitching. Eyes meeting. Long, loaded stares and trembling fingers and Death herself smiling at Agatha like she actually meant it. Agatha fisting her cloak and yanking her closer and letting Death suck the air right out of her lungs, and Agatha somehow living anywayâ
âyou were born evilâ is an insane thing to say to your daughter who once begged not only for her life but for the lives of her coven. who swore she couldnât control what she was doing and wanted help. who once promised she could be good if only you taught her, mentored her, loved her, like a mother should.
Every time we see Charlie in the past, she is wearing a dress.
Her style at first seems like a mix of both her mother and her father, though I would say it leans more toward Lilith. And in every photo Charlie is faced toward Lilith as opposed to Lucifer.
Every time we see Charlie in the present day, she is wearing a suit.
And I would say, resembles her father much more than her mother. Iâm not sure what to take from this, it was just an observation.
But then I thought about it, and she does wear a dress during the present day, one time.
And it was this frame of the show I realized how much Charlie really does look like Lilith and Lucifer, and how her feminine style as an adult really captures both of them perfectly.
Her battle outfit is like a representation of the leaders of Hell, how sick is that.
