Downtown Girl Aesthetic

The downtown girl aesthetic is effortlessly cool and comfortable. This aesthetic is based on fashion trends found in downtown New York City, espcially during autumn. This aesthetic is most notably similar to that of Rory Gilmore on Gilmore Girls. If you enjoy autumn weather, listeing to music, reading books, and staying cozy this may be the aesthetic for you!

Prelims, Vote 3 of 8

The top 4 finales will move on to be included in the main bracket

Propaganda is under the cut, may include spoilers

Blake's 7 - 4.13 Blake

Technically, the episode is a very, very good one. Hell, I wouldn't wish for a different finale, to be honest. It's perfect, in its own "What the actual hell!?" way, and it does wonders for the show's themes of doomed struggle. The problem with it is that it was intended to be just a *series* finale, not the *show's* finale, so it ends on an extremely high-stakes cliffhanger. It's fantastic, it's scary, it's heartbreaking, you want more, you want to see it resolved... and the show was cancelled after the fourth series. So all we have is an extremely bleak ending with all but one character presumed dead and that damned last smile in the face of overwhelming odds in a completely hopeless situation.

Castle Rock (2018) - 1.10 Romans

When this show was coming out I was still deep in my Stephen King hyperfixation so needless to say I was *stoked*. But man this was one of the most underwhelming things I've watched. With episodes released weekly we had two months of people going insane with theories, new revelations, Stephen King fans digging up their old books to pick for scraps of hints that could explain what's going on, every week there were new video essays and analyses of the new episode, subreddit buzzing with the wildest theories about who is this mysterious character of The Kid who's kicked the whole plot in motion and what the hell is going on with the seemingly cursed town. And then the finale came and just. Nothing. Everything went back to square one. The Kid is locked back up in the same cage he was originally found in. Nothing was explained. Everyone moves on as if nothing happened. After two months of Castle Rock being the main focus of all of my free time this completely took the wind out of my sails and I completely lost interest in the show and honestly, soon almost forgot it even existed. When the second season came out I didn't watch even the first episode, even though the second season *might* have explained everything, I simply didn't care enough to find out anymore. And from what I've seen, others have felt the same way because since the first season ended I haven't really seen anyone talk about the show.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - 4.08 Chapter Thirty-Six: At The Mountains of Madness

Ok so in fairness this entire final season sucked but the real kicker is that in the final scene we learn that after the main character died, her love interest killed himself in order to be with her in the afterlife. Yeah, a teenager committed suicide and we were supposed to see that as a happy ending.

Choukou Senshi Changerion - 1.39 Over the Times...

It's the last episode, which means no new information or worlds should be introduced, right? WRONG. Inoue (the main writer) decided that, for this last episode, we should see into an alternate (maybe, perhaps) timeline alongside the regular content. The bad guys are coming, except our main guy is starting to go down and remembering all the things that have happened, as well. And then it just ends. On an explosion, of course. Roll Credits!

The Get Down - 5.11 Only from Exile Can We Come Home

rushed to complete the show and low on budget, the writers sent every character besides the protagonist (zeke) to their worst possible fate. shao, finally free and with the person he loved, was coerced to return to the sexually abusive woman who had been his boss since he was a child. dizzee is implied to have been struck by a train after breaking his boyfriend out of prison for graffiti. and boo-boo, the 14 year old, is arrested for selling drugs. in some ways its thematically appropriate, but the unrelenting viciousness of the end of each character's story is sudden, deeply tonally jarring, and leaves the audience feeling despondent and hopeless even with the main character surviving to sing it all as an adult and his love interest finding success as a singer, albeit far away in another city. tgd is an excellent show, but besides being cancelled, the big kicker for it was that the romantic lead mylene didn't hit for a lot of people, and watchers who preferred shao and zeke to get together due to having such strong chemistry and a well-developed bond probably had a very different experience than the writers had intended. mylene is a fine character and she's unfairly disliked by a lot of watchers, but her romance with zeke was simply not as well developed as shao's and zeke's relationship was

Grimm - 3.22 Blond Ambition

It forgoes the usual: 'there is a scary wesen that is causing problems and we can solve this' formula to pay off other plot points, but it kinda makes the episode feel less tethered. The focus is a wedding between supporting characters, whilst a former finale villain is just stalking around town and also a (corrupt) FBI agent is preparing to make his move. Both make their moves and the results are kinda lame. The agent is almost immediately beheaded rendering his active threat moot. And the other villain disguised herself as the MC's girlfriend and sleeps with him. The only major points are the wedding, a police captain getting shot (glossed over here but become relevant next season), the FBI agent dying (it starts a dull investigation next season), and the MC losing his power right at the end (which led to one of the worst periods in the show until he regains his powers...)

Jane the Virgin - 5.19 Chapter One Hundred

No propaganda submitted

[bigwitchencrgy]

i figure if i'm gonna be a mess, i might as well be a hot mess.

aesthetic : having a heart full of fire offering warmth to those close and scorching remarks to those in the wrong ( the war is trying to douse your fire, but you refuse to lose your spark ), glitter in your hair from the night before, staying up all night to see the sunrise just to make sure it still comes up, wishing on every star in the night sky, always having to be the loudest voice in the room even if you have nothing to say, a matchstick heart just waiting to burn, empty liquor bottles, the grim days slowly beginning to overshadow the good ones, messy hair don't care days, off-key singing in the shower, the warmth of the sun on your skin, arrogance hiding insecurities, people call you fickle & you laugh in their face ( who would ever want to be known as predictable? ), coward was never a word meant to describe a mckinnon, but it's the only word that feels right when you refuse to take a side, you had always been convinced in happy endings, but now it feels like the end, and there’s no happy ending in sight.

compare to: penny ( the big bang theory ), mikaela banes ( transformers ), han solo ( star wars ), anthony dinozzo ( ncis ), lorelai gilmore ( gilmore girls ), peter quill ( mcu ), thea queen ( arrow ), sarah cameron ( outer banks ), steve harrington ( stranger things ), jesper fahey ( shadow and bone ) oberyn martell ( game of thrones ), shawn spencer ( psych ), emmett cullen ( twilight ), sabrina spellman ( chilling adventures of sabrina ), buffy summers ( buffy the vampire slayer )

Is that  MARLENE MCKINNON  stepping out into Diagon Alley? Ministry records tell us that they were born on  OCTOBER 13TH  and are a  TWENTY-THREE  year old,  HALF-BLOOD  who works as a  PROFESSIONAL QUIDDITCH PLAYER.  Some have said that they can be described as being  CHARISMATIC, ADVENTUROUS & INDEPENDENT,  however, they also see themselves as being CAPRICIOUS, STUBBORN & BRASH.  Apparently,  THEY  look a lot like  JESSIE MEI LI,  whoever that is, and if they had to pick a side in the war, they would choose to  REMAIN NEUTRAL.

marlene operates under the life motto "i'm here for a good time, not a long time" which is somewhat ironic considering she's afraid of fully involving herself in the war ( but no one has ever accused her of making sense )

fully expected to be put into ravenclaw because let's face it, there's no one more clever than she is ( total lies ).

always wanted to become a quidditch player even though her parents wanted her to be a bit more realistic with her options. so she choose dragonology as a backup which immediately made her parents hope she made it as a quidditch player instead.

has two ferrets named cherrie and chewie that she absolutely adores and would do anything for. she poorly knits them little hats and sweaters.

is listed as neutral because she doesn't necessarily want to be part of the war even though her family is, though she's fully supportive of the order's side and has made that very clear. however, she will eventually join the order once she gets over her own fears. marlene is afraid of death and losing those close to her to this war. ( in my mind, it will take the death of a family member for her to finally get fully involved in the war )

more coming soon!

just popping in to say that even though it's been a year or two, the caos books continue to live rent free in my mind (and on my bookshelf). i didn't care much for the characters in the show until i read the novels and had the pleasure of understanding them on a deeper level. you've handled their characterisation with such care that i feel (weirdly) thankful for it. all i know is the only times i truly cried and laughed about these characters was whilst reading the novels. so thank you :)

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, my heart. I am so thankful for this message, and so happy those books live in your mind and shelf. They definitely live in my heart.

I loved those characters - Ambrose and Zelda! Prudence! Sabrina and Nick and Harvey! Theo! - so much. I learned all I could about them from every source and then badgered my kind sources with my ideas and theories for them. I love me some out-of-control magic, tangled family ties, kind people who want to be wild and wild people who want to be kind.

The great joy of books for me is that you can see inside characters, in-depth, so you know why they do what they do. Books offer an opportunity to sympathise with even the most strange to you. So I considered it my challenge to go all in on the characters, armed with the knowledge of the future and deleted scenes and intentions for them and my own dedicated overthinking about them, and I hoped others would come with me, all the way. I'm glad you did.

Sabrina was my very first tie-in. It was such a lovely, wild in all senses of the word, world. I felt lucky to be invited in and really wanted to do my best by those witches. I took to my bed when it ended and to be honest, sometimes I still wake up thinking 'time to write book four, surely, looking forward to writing the scenes with the dancing, the demon, the door and the declaration!' In September in Chicago I was talking to kind readers who inquired and telling them about a post-Part 4 epilogue set by the sea. 'This is how it can still work!'

I said recently that I'm like Dracula in a way. If I hear howling, whether it's my audience laughing or crying, I go 'my children of the night, what wonderful music they make.' It's the ultimate compliment and it's why I write anything.

Thank you for giving me music to dance to.

American Horror Story | … horror isn’t my genre, but I have heard only great things about this series!

The Boys | I know, I know, the hook is great and the series is supposed to be amazing, but I’ve seen the very first scene and did not expect it 🙈 it really shocked me so I might need a while to get over it.

Law and Order SVU | I have tried watching it but I cannot stomach it

[buffyfan145]

I realized with seeing that theory about if Galadriel’s daughter Celebrian ends up being Halbrand/Suaron’s that I actually saw this type of storyline play out on “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”. :) Some major spoilers here but in Netflix’s take on “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” there was a massive change to her backstory when she found out her dad was Lucifer and she’s the anti-Christ. Her parents couldn’t have children and her mortal mother Diana got involved with him because at the time the Spellman family of witches were subjects of The Dark Lord. Then after Sabrina was born her parents were killed and she was raised by her aunts. Then Lucifer revealed himself as her father when she came of age and that she was destined to take over after him and be the Queen the Hell and take over Earth. Meanwhile her mom Diana and aunt Hilda actually sabotaged it by having her baptized by a Christian church as a baby so she’s actually protected by both God and the real witch goddess Hecate that the witches finally break free of Lucifer and join to defeat him with Sabrina leading them along her aunt Zelda (who was played by Miranda Otto aka Eowyn in the LOTR movies) as well as Diana’s spirit who guides her daughter. Sabrina also looked almost identical to Diana with white blonde hair but had Lucifer’s dark eyes, and it did take awhile to resist giving in to her dark side and choosing the light. So it got me thinking about that theory and if anyone writes a fic on it we do have a similar story, though with what sadly happened to Celebrian it’s more her daughter Arwen that gets the happy ending and chooses a mortal life to be with her love Aragorn who happens to be an actual lost king Halbrand/Sauron pretended to be.

🌈 so this is my main blog now i guess 🌈

your opinion has its place, but that place is not in my reblogs and not in my DMs.

Wednesday: my thoughts

Ok, I watched Wednesday. And I liked it enough to pick it apart like string cheese.

The Good

Overall, a Scooby Doo-style supernatural teen murder mystery revolving around the iconic Wednesday Addams is a genius idea in theory, and turns out, not too shabby in execution. Watching this genuinely made me think “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina could’ve been this if it was made by someone who isn’t Roberto Aguirre Sacasa” because, turns out, this can work! It is aesthetically pleasing, the pacing is solid until it sags in the middle, and the casting choice are almost 10/10.

Jenna Ortega carries this show. She said “I am Wednesday” and we said yes ma’am, essays have been written about how great this performance is and I can contribute nothing new to it. I will add that Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia Addams is such a brilliant casting choice that I can’t believe I never thought of it, she nailed the role and managed to still make it her own by adding layers of glamorous poise and dreaminess to her character. Luis Guzman as Gomez was also perfect, especially paired with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jenna Ortega. He has a genuine warmth to his screen presence that sells the whole point of Gomez as a character: a loving father and husband who is as supportive and generous as he is suave and debonaire. Gwendoline Christie is, as usual, having the time of her life as whatever character she plays, and Joy Sunday I think nailed her character to fit that archetype while still matching the tone of the show (something not everyone could do).

In general, I felt like the show runners knew that Wednesday herself was written so well that all they had to do was put her front and center and let that do most of the work, taking its time to establish her before introducing the Mystery, and I have to hand it to Tim Burton given the flops he’s delivered the past 15 years.

The explicit, canon Mexican-American heritage of Gomez and his children felt so natural and obvious. Like it’s one thing to have a Spanish or Latino actor play Gomez, it’s another for that ancestry, specifically Mexican ancestry and the displacement and trauma of experiencing colonization, to play a role in worldbuilding and characterization. It didn’t feel like it was just there for flavor.

The Bad

Convoluted Plot: The plot was doing fine until we got a double fakeout on the monster reveal that everyone could see coming a mile away, on top of overcomplicating the politics of Colonial Jericho and its relationship with “normies vs. outcasts.” I don’t know why Joseph Crackstone was leading the charge against outcasts (and Native Americans) to steal their land on the principle that they’re “abominations in the eyes of God” but at the same time, this guy is a fucking dark sorcerer. He’s doing Saurumon moves and there’s NO explanation, like what difference is there between him telekinetically tossing people around and girls like Wednesday having visions? Make it make sense. And like, the revenge plot: “I waited all this time to find a rare monster I can control to collect body parts and also the blood of the descendent of the witch who sealed my ancestor with blood magic so I could resurrect him with dark magic and then finally get our family’s revenge on the outcasts” girl please, please! MESS. We we were doing fine until then! And Wednesday’s revival via her necklace/talisman was such a cop out. Anyway...

Love Triangle: They really dug up the most boring, basic white boys to be love interests for Wednesday. Lbr she didn’t need love interests, and especially not two basic white boys! But if they had to... if it was in their contract or something that Netflix required a damn hetty het love triangle, there’s a way this could’ve been written to make me not eyeroll. Xavier was introduced in the pilot as the It Boy, that Dick-Slinger, the Resident Hottie™, and then spends the rest of the show swinging back and forth between “devilmaycare James Dean stand-in” and “whiny lil bitch.” Mind you he had every right to be pissed that Wednesday only asked him to the dance as a cover-up, sure, but I wouldn’t have written that. Wouldn’t have written the damn love triangle to begin with, but if they said “Write this love triangle between the two white boys or we kick your dog” what I would have done is write Xavier as a clever, mischievous little James Dean, slashed the daddy issues because that’s the other basic white boy love interest’s primary character trait, and made him way more savvy to Wednesday’s antics. She’s a force of nature; you can’t pair her up with a little rain cloud, the least a basic white boy could do is have some gale force wind charisma!! The moment she did that whole fake asking-out thing, he could’ve been like “So you’ve been desperately, madly in love with me this whole time? And here I thought you were sneaking around my private studio, looking for clues *winks* I’ll pick you up at 8, Velma. Dress like you’re in mourning.” Because that characterization would’ve made Xavier a better foil to Wednesday, and a bigger threat when she still suspected him of being the monster since he’s too clever to be manipulated. And Tyler! Boy has daddy issues and mommy issues?? Honeyyyyy. His character could still be the unassuming normie, but again, the best love interests are foils in some way. If he’d been written and portrayed as unfailingly cheery but introverted, and just unabashedly charmed by Wednesday’s morbid interests, I would’ve liked him more. Like, give me a country boy who’s got “good ole fashioned American values” which means of course he’s giving you a ride home, it’s late and dangerous, of course he remembered you mentioning your favorite book, Mama said you should give a lady your full attention when she speaks. And that leads me to my next gripe:

The Hyde reveal: when the Hyde was introduced in the plot, it was describe as a poorly understood, and under-researched member of the Outcast community. The big question was whether it was in a Hyde’s nature to be violent and cruel, if they are conscious of their actions, or if they are victims to a transformation they can’t control (which is a bit weird in a world where werewolves also exist, but they control their transformations and are relatively harmless). The moment we got that “How does it feel... to lose?” line, I was like noooo. NO. In my version of this show, Tyler is truly a cheery, all-smiles sweetheart who doesn’t blink when Wednesday brings up her pet scorpion, and instead asks “What was their name?” And it makes it more gut-wrenching and has way more narrative weight if Tyler isn’t in control of his transformations and has no idea he’s under someone’s spell, because then all the vindication Wednesday gets from solving the mystery gets slashed when it comes at the cost of a friend’s freedom and wellbeing.

The Antagonists: Obviously Christina Ricci was playing the Big Important Character. I knew it was her, I knew it I knew it. That’s fine. I liked her portrayal throughout the show, I do think her character lost narrative power in the last two episodes. I’m not a fan of when the Big Bad Guy gets replaced by a Bigger Bad Guy when the first Big Bad Guy had way more screen time dedicated to their buildup and character motives. Then there’s the sheriff, who frustrated me from Day One. Literally a jerkass from start-to-finish. The reveal that he knew his wife was a Hyde and suspected his son to be one too this whole time made his whole “I will get justice” shtick so fucking annoying, like you hypocritical bigot, you know who’s clawing mfers up left and right and he just ate the last of the fucking Cheerios in your fridge. Bianca as the first Arc Villain was great because I just can’t help but like a competent mean girl, especially when she’s not actually that mean, and the Principal was a good antagonist and obstacle for Wednesday. Do wish she was written to be a bit more savvy.

In my version of this show, the moment Wednesday was like “It’s Thornhill!” we would’ve had a quick transition to a close-up of Thornhill tapping her nails on the rail as she glides down the stairs in her greenhouse to the tune of “Back to Black” (to parallel Wednesday playing “Paint It Black”) as she’s legit jamming, like she’s shimmying and dancing her way down the stairs and having a good ass time, tossing off her polka dot jacket to reveal a black floral flowy top (the flowers will obviously be night shade), she pulls off her wig to reveal Amy Lee-style dark locks, and she is just living in her villainy. Her motivations will no longer be “the outcasts are why my family is dead, even though we’ve been harboring hatred for them since the 1600s” instead it’s “my family’s vendetta cost me a life of luxury and fortune and wealth” (because in this version, they would’ve lost the house due to her father’s alcoholism and gambling) “and I don’t actually give a damn about outcasts or normies, I just want to run the property values into the ground and set the world on fire. Whatever survives in the ashes, it belongs to me.” WE NEEDED A BAD BITCH. We needed someone who, in the end, is a strong parallel to Wednesday on the surface: a fascination with the macabre, a penchant for violence, deeply cunning and curious. But then the difference between them is that Thornhill is actually good at reading others’ emotions despite seeing everyone as disposable, while Wednesday is highly aware of emotional dissonance with her peers and family and the thought that she’s missing out on something causes her distress. This in turn could’ve been a deeper metaphor for the ease in which those who live in privilege and luxury can dehumanize others (Thornhill) vs those who are just straight up autistic and are thus othered and demonized for not conforming to or understanding social norms (Wednesday). Oh btw Wednesday is autistic, I don’t make the rules.

Anyway, in my version, when Wednesday confronts Thornhill, she gets away by smashing a vial of some smoky acid or something on the ground and gets away, but Wednesday chases after her while Principal Lady is coughing because it’s poison. Wednesday gets caught, blah blah blah, and instead of her coming back to life by absorbing her ancestor’s ghost, the Principal shows up and pours some of her blood into Wednesday’s wounds because shapeshifter-blood=healing, before succumbing to her own injuries and dying. That ^ could be planted earlier in the story with a quick flashback in episode 4(?) after Wednesday has tried to figure out why the Principal would cover up Rowan’s death and where this new “Rowan” actually went, and the Principal is being cagey, we could get a line like “I would do anything for my students. You’ve no idea.” And then a quick shot of her kneeling over Rowan’s lifeless body, weeping as she pours blood from her hand into his mouth and muttering “Come on, come on Rowan, wake up” then quick shot back to the office where the Principal is just cool and composed, refusing to give answers. Anyway, her saving Wednesday will have more to do with her genuine care plus her guilt for her part in having her father charged for murder, which won’t be because of a jealousy romance thing (which is so dry and tired) and will instead be due to her ambition and wanting to remove Morticia from the running of something important (like an internship at the New England Society of Necromancer’s Salem Branch or something).

The Ugly

Racism: Everyone’s tired of hearing about it, well I’m tired of talking about it. Tim Burton does not have a good history with race in his works. I, personally, don’t care if he never has black people in his works. If representation is handled with “colorblindness” or spite, I don’t want it. This situation had more of the former. If you don’t understand the context of how race relations work in the real world with your audience, it’s going to come out clumsy and jarring. Seeing a black boy dressed in a pilgrim costume, walking into a diner to bully a random girl he doesn’t know because she’s “different” for dressing in an identical aesthetic as he is, it makes no sense to me. Why would a black man have any personal investment in building a theme park surrounding European colonialism??? An oppression metaphor in a story just doesn’t sit well when the oppressing characters are cast as people who suffer under systemic oppression in real life. It’s so weird that Iman Marcus can start filming and play a character who is, technically in-universe, “privileged” financially and socially and politically, then he can walk off set and drive over to the nearest Starbucks and still get racially profiled by some corrupt ass LA cop regardless of his Netflix-paycheck.

It’s not so much that I find this morally repugnant, it’s that the moment I see it on screen, I’m reminded “ah this is fiction and I am watching a TV show.” Emotional and social inauthenticity (and cringe ass dialogue) makes it harder to suspend my disbelief than watching a sentient, severed hand receive defibrillation from a man with electric powers (legit made me emotional). Thought has to go into casting for this reason. I wasn’t as worried about Joy Sunday as Bianca, as being pretty and ambitious and a little mean isn’t exactly damning, though I still wonder if when she beats Wednesday in that fencing match, if we’re supposed to cheer her on and be happy that Wednesday was put in her place (I did, I was like “lil girl you’ve been here 2 seconds” and it was nice to know our protagonist wasn’t Perfect). Casting black actors as antagonists isn’t necessarily racist every single time; it becomes a problem when the antagonists are your only black characters, in a story revolving around “otherness” and discrimination. I did like that Bianca and Lucas and even Mayor Walker got more development (sad that the Mayor was murdered before he could redeem himself).

Also shoutout to the Netflix ASOUE for setting a more recent, modern precedent for that macabre, Gothic aesthetic that has dark-skinned people in it, there’s a good example of actors of color cast in various roles where their race doesn’t clash with their character. Black Mr. and Mrs. Poe are flawed, negligent adults and they could’ve been of any race. Aasif Mandvi as Uncle Monty was perfect, because embodying the warm intellectuals of the character wasn’t tied to his race; anyone could’ve played him. Alfre Woodard as Aunt Josephine was wonderful because all she needed to give the role was an eccentric portrayal of deep-set trauma and grief, the actress’s real-life race and social status aren’t at odds with how her character exists in-universe.

Queerbaiting: I only became aware of this after the show’s premier because I didn’t follow its promotional materials leading up to it. I’ve seen the posts on the official Netflix account. Yes it is queerbaiting, regardless of whether the person handling the account is an unpaid queer intern or a Netflix executive’s overly paid nephew. However, the actual writing of the show does not give queer baiting. Wednesday’s character “flaw” is her inability to prioritize the emotional and sometimes-physical wellbeing of others over her own agenda. This culminating in her falling out with Enid, and realizing Enid is her friend and cares for her, is not queerbaiting. We’re too late into this era to clamor for queer subtext crumbs to eat that up. Wednesday starts off a proud lone wolf with no friends to finding people who know exactly what they’re getting into when they become her friend and choose to do so anyway; she learns to take others’ wellbeing into account and gets friends, without compromising her own values and her personal boundaries (i.e. she hugged Enid when she was ready, when she was comfortable, not out of social obligation, and Enid gave her the space for that). Writing that arc meant that the writers paid attention to Wednesday character and maybe paid attention in Storybuilding 101 in college. It does not mean they intended a sapphic romance and then pulled the rug out from under us. And if you lot start grilling the actors on social media about their characters’ sexualities and then project those interpretations onto the actors and demand that they come out, I will find and kill you.

I was thinking another theory I have had since the jughead paradox and rivervale… I think they can make the ending coincide w chilling adventures of sabrina. Actually If they get to go back like I theorize they get to go back after graduation they can have s5 time skip +s6 is actually the alternate future when Sabrina loses to the pagans and then she use time magic to fix it by swapping places with herself and then the ending of riverdale is the real future. Like s5 timeskip and s6 is how riverdale was affected by the events that we saw in Chilling adventures and then the endgame is how it really ended up just like when Sabrina went back and fixed it. They get to go back also and fix it.

This one goes out to all 12 of our listeners! We can't promise that this level of success will not go to our heads.

This week, we're talking about Season 1, Episode 8 - Lunatic. Specifically, why these damn kids are so weird. They can't all blame it on the full moon.

We both have theories that could explain Lydia and we add another segment of the fandom who will get mad at us.

I announced confidently that this episode would be released on December 7th as though you would be able to hear that before December 7th.... but we did it! Going forward, we're going to try to release new episodes on Wednesdays.  

Stick around to the end if you also hate The Walking Dead and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and want to hear someone else bitch about them.

[laurlovez]

it still physically pains me sabrina morningstar was the one sent to the endless

if spellman had gone instead, we could have had the episode parallel of the CENTURY with sabrina morningstar and caliban teaming up with the fright club to take down satanic panic in 4.06, just like they helped with the pygmalion spell in 3.06

but no. but NO.

I’ve got a theory

The new robin character is a fairy. He’s described as elvish and robin goodfellow is another name for puck

Robin goodfellow was featured in Shakespeare’s A midsummer night’s dream and 4 Shakespeare characters are already in the show (the weird sisters and caliban’s gonna be in part 3)

[ladykilleraria]

they kinda resemble each other

[sugarlily1]

Saw @thegreatanso do this and I wanted to and I’m not mad at these results lol (my top character was Felicity from arrow but I still haven’t watched the show) what I have taken from this is that I’m a nerd with glasses but I’m also a sarcastic queen

Here’s the quiz!

[habrina-was-wronged]

caos theory: HECATE IS BEHIND EVERYTHING

this is just a theory. I might even write a fanfic about it idk

Think about it. Hecate is very much NOT A FAN of the devil.

So it makes sense that she would want Sabrina out of the picture, so that she can't like screw up *again* and almost destroy the world.

So why not "improve" nick scratch and make him show up (suspiciously a lot like Harvey except for being a warlock) when Sabrina thinks she might die before the merging, and basically lure her into a false sense of security. Until THE VOID gets too strong and then have Sabrina peace out to the mountains and then Hecate can just let her die instead of answering those prayers. One less hold the devil has over the witches and/or one less risk that's walking around.

I know nick "sacrificed" himself to bring Sabrina back, like it was revealed in f**king riverdale. But what if Hecate made sure that Sabrina came back weaker and more dedicated to not only RECRUITING mortals and witches to worshiping her (like what happened in Riverdale) AND wanting to study necromancy rather than focus on anything else, like questioning Hecate's motives, all so that she could see nick again.

It's a good theory, like come on.

The cast did say that Hecate was gonna be the bad guy in part 5 somehow. I don't know how, but I feel like she's been behind the scenes a little longer than we might think... just pulling those strings.
