Actors Of Color Often Get Typecast. Two Photographers Asked Them To Depict Their Dream Roles Instead.

“why would you write fics for small, unpopular fandoms? you’re not gonna reach that many hits in fandoms not many people know about” ?? because I’m not writing fics for hits or kudos, I’m writing them for me because these characters are my blorbos and I have so many ideas, so much thoughts about them that my brain might explode if I don’t write them out.

Literally the hottest couple in the MCU right now.

This is Agatha, she loves her personal space.

That's Rio, she also loves Agatha's personal space

Agatha All Along Episode 5 Theory: Why It’s Weird and Short

So Episode 5 was by far the shortest episode we’ve had so far for the series. It feels different from the other trials so far which causes it to feel…scrambled in a way. Now you could blame poor writing for the craziness of this episode (along with the abrupt ending), but I usually reserve that judgement for after a series ends.

Here’s what I think is going on. SPOILERS AHEAD!

Agatha’s trial being in this episode was a bit of a surprise, but let’s be real, the show is called Agatha All Along…do we really believe that our favorite dramatic sad backstory mommy issues-filled witch only gets ONE episode for her trial?

The Ouija board makes the objective for this task clear: Punish Agatha. A task that some of the coven clearly have no qualms carrying out. But let’s think about the sequence of events after that message is delivered.

The coven tries to tie up Agatha which fails after Agatha becomes possessed by her mother. Agatha’s mother says Agatha must be left behind which causes her to freak out. Alice tries to save Agatha which results in Agatha accidentally(?) killing her. Agatha is only stopped when Teen says her son’s name and the door to escape opens after Teen says Goodbye on the Ouija board.

Notice anything?

Agatha is never *technically* punished by her coven. Each trial so far involves a task that 1. is specific to one witch’s ability, 2. involves a clear objective that the coven eventually recognizes and reaches together, 3. ends with growth, both power and character wise, of the witch/coven. This episode feels off because the formula is off. And the formula is off because none of it’s real.

Episode 5 IS Agatha’s punishment. Every trial has stirred up unwanted tragic memories from the witch it’s related to. It is no coincidence that this episode hits every. single. one. of Agatha’s problems.

It starts with an Ouija Board - Agatha has killed a lot of people, not all of them on purpose. We already know Agatha loves to pretend to not feel anything, but now she is forced to directly interact with her victims.

Punish Agatha - The coven turns on Agatha surprisingly quick to carry out the trial and surround her while she is on the floor…just like her old coven betrayed her. She fears betrayal.

Evanora Harkness - Self-explanatory, she not only forcefully possesses Agatha (which could tie in to fear of lack of control thanks to Wanda), but tells her she was born evil, something that Agatha looks devastated to hear. Mommy issues galore.

“I’ll be good” - upon hearing that her coven may leave her behind, Agatha freaks out and begs for them to not leave her. Fear of abandonment.

Alice’s Death - Agatha seems horrified after killing Alice with her powers (just like she killed her mother and coven in the past), and the rest of the present coven, especially Teen, are horrified by her actions and don’t believe her.

Nicholas Scratch - A devastating name to hear. And his voice calling to her is just the cherry on top.

And after she leaves the trial? Teen turns on her using magic similar to Wanda’s and then throws Agatha off the path to kill her. And Rio is suddenly nowhere to be seen? Another tumblr user made an interesting point that the aspect ratio doesn’t return to normal like it usually does after a trial. Because all of this has been the precursor to Agatha’s actual trial.

This may be all in her mind and it’s up to her coven to help her, guess we won’t know for sure until next week.

I can't hear you.

How to download ANY *working* audio post from tumblr

Okay so I’ve been using this method for a few years now to download most of my music and apparently a lot of people don’t know how to do it so I thought I’d share. This method works for any working audio post on tumblr and you won’t lose any of the quality of the audio post like you do with some Youtube converters. This method only works for GOOGLE CHROME. I’m sure you can do it with other browsers, I just don’t know how. Chrome is free though so it shouldn’t be a problem. Okay so:

1. Open up tumblr and find the audio post(s) you want to download. (don’t press play yet!!)

2. RIGHT click over the center-ish of the audio post (mac users click control then click to right click)

3. Click “inspect element”

4. Click “network”

5. Click “size”

6. Click the play button on the audio post and let it play for a few seconds until the audio file shows up (you don’t have to listen to the whole thing).

7. Right click where it says “from cache” in the size column. This should be the audio file.

8. Click “open in a new tab”. A new tab with a black screen and the audio file should open.

9. Right click anywhere in the black screen, then click “save as”.

10. Save your file and enjoy!!

*PC users will need to drag the mp3 file from your downloads to iTunes; Mac users can just open the file after it has downloaded and it will automatically open in iTunes

**you can change the name of the song/artist/album/artwork after the file is in iTunes. Just right click then click “get info” and edit away!

I hope this was helpful!! I know this seems like a lot of steps but once you get the hang of it, it’s really fast and easy. :)

***UPDATE: IF YOU HAVE XKIT THERE IS AN EXTENSION THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO THIS MUCH SIMPLER. IT’S CALLED “AUDIO DOWNLOADER” OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT :)

It's spring, you're young, you're lovely, you have a right to be happy. Come back into the world.
