Ive Been Trying To Lock In For Like 12 Weeks Now

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.

Violets are the symbols of lesbian love and Rio making them grow around Agatha’s body is so important to me in indescribable levels

⚠️ blood. alcohol. spoilers.

read somewhere "jujutsu kaisen is just a story of people desperately trying to make the world a better place for their loved ones and failing miserably" and oh boy do i fucking agree with this

SO IN SERIES 10, MISSY SAID THAT SHE USED TO BURN WHOLE CITIES TO THE GROUND JUST TO SEE THE PRETTY SHAPES THAT THE SMOKE MADE AND SHE WAS CRYING, THINKING ABOUT ALL OF THE PEOPLE SHE KILLED.

IF DHAWAN!MASTER IS BEFORE HER, THEN SHE'S TALKING ABOUT GALLIFREY. IT WOULD ALSO MAKE SENSE AS TO WHY SHE WAS ON TRIAL. HOLY SHIT

Did we get a Agathario origin story? No. Will we get one in the future? Maybe. Will we see them both again? Definitely (Rio hates the idea of ghosts and will definitely pursue Agatha). Did we get assurance that Agatha is going to be a bigger part of the MCU? Hell yeah. Did we all sob like babies at Nicky’s history? Yes.

WAS THAT ONE HELL OF A KISS?

FUCK YEAH.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was damn good. I am so excited to see these stories played out further.

I also have all the fuel I need for so much fanfiction.

Chuuya's training regiment:

Chuuya: Okay, let's start off with some basic stretches. Get yourselves ready.

Chuuya: Casual running first, get yourselves accustomed to a pace that suits you

Chuuya: We're gonna do something a little harder this time, but I believe in you guys. You guys were born to be mafiosos. You can handle this

Chuuya: That's a wrap! Good work everybody, you've all achieved something today, congratulate yourselves. Drinks on me!

Dazai's training regiment:

Dazai: So, I read up on all your backgrounds. Most of you joined because of poverty! Capitalism, am I right?

Dazai: You think that's enough of a motivator here though? HA!

Dazai: The fuck are stretches? Get your fucking asses into the training simulator, let's see y'all get past a rain of bullets

Dazai: What was that? You thought newbies started off with easy jobs? You thought you wouldn't get killed on your first day? *Pulls out a gun and shoots the closest grunt* Oh look at that. You died from a bullet. Maybe if y'all got in the FUCKING SIMULATOR already, you'd learn how to DODGE them

Dazai: GET IN YOU LITTLE SHITS. EXTRA GUNFIRE FOR THAT LIP EARLIER
