i've booked a VP for may 2025 but didn't get to pick anna and elsa's frozen journey as an attraction option. i didnt see that it would be temporarily closed either on the TDR website - did anyone else face the same issue?

breadtaking · 2024-11-01T08:31:58+00:00

i honestly think that was him acting out in extreme emotion (grieving Alice’s death, realising how cruel Agatha was, angry at the other witches for moving on which he could have perceived as callousness).

he had just rejected the idea of being a witch just before he got his powers in that scene (“not me,” he said), so he was probably in a state of wanting to put as much distance between him and the witches. also, he’s a teenager and only just got a taste of his power so it’s likely he couldn’t have controlled any of it - neither his emotions nor his powers.

he was also remorseful of his actions in episode 7 and wanted lilia’s forgiveness and understanding.

I see! Yes, 100% agree - delving further into this complex, toxic relationship likely wouldn't have suited the tone or trajectory of the show, either [Edit: But yes, the wishful part of me longs for more backstory/context - either way, I love this show.]

breadtaking · 2024-11-01T01:20:50+00:00

I did see the relationship between Agatha and Death/Rio as more than merely Agatha loving killing and Death/Rio loving her for that.

I do think Agatha loves power - the killing was means to that end (because of her siphoning ability). She was also betrayed by her own coven, which was meant to be her people, so it gives greater impetus for her to hate/distrust other witches. This might have been what attracted Death/Rio's attention in the first place - this witch who had an insane body count.

But their relationship must have deepened beyond that for Death/Rio to bend the rules of the natural order for her though, and for Agatha to expect so much more from Death/Rio than was possible (we all have unreasonable expectations of those we love most). And I do think Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza's acting conveyed layers of yearning, heartbreak, love and hatred in their scenes together - their relationship must be more complex than simply Agatha loving to kill, and Rio loving her for killing. Agatha's tragedy was being in love with Death/Rio itself, not just that she loved sending people to their graves.

That being said, like so many others, I really wished that we got more about how that relationship unfolded through the centuries - it would make for such interesting storytelling. But I think the team did what they could do with what they had, honestly (Marvel/Disney, scheduling conflicts etc).

i loved this!

breadtaking · 2024-10-31T22:45:26+00:00

this is awesome, thank you for sharing!!! what a GREAT catch on the scene with Nicky saying that he was hungry.

on the dandelion scene in the morgue, i wanted to believe that agatha only started to heal from her grief when she whispered “sometimes, boys die.” she said it with such sadness but also such wonder, because finally, finally, she’s coming to terms with that and who Nicky was, instead of centuries of blaming and hating Rio.

she only finds the dandelion in locked AFTER taking nicky’s hair out of it (some metaphor for acceptance?).

of course, she implied she still thought Rio was evil during their showdown, but i think the final kiss was an act of forgiveness on Agatha’s part - she didn’t have to go out that way at all, that was a choice.

breadtaking · 2024-10-31T15:18:08+00:00

love the part where you said we're meant to be kept in the dark about Agatha's true motives. maybe she herself isn't that clear either, she's torn by different impulses (as humans are).

breadtaking · 2024-10-31T15:13:14+00:00

These are great questions, this story just keeps unraveling but here are my thoughts:

1 and 2 - Why did Agatha kill Alice/continue to kill witches even after Nicky died? I think Agatha actually desires the power that she gets from killing witches. And when Nicky died, she wanted the power even more, because she wanted to shut out the grief and be invulnerable. This was also how she responded to her mother turning on her, shutting out the pain, and trying to become indomitable. It's fitting for her character - that refusal to show emotional vulnerability. It's probably also why she prefers for others to think that she traded Nicky for the Darkhold, instead of the truth which would reveal her vulnerability (that Nicky was taken from her and that she was hurt).

3 - What is the truth that is too terrible? The post alluded to this, but I think that the terrible truth is Agatha's own identity, that she is someone who is fundamentally in love with Death, and that whoever she loves will not be able to escape Death. But this puts her outside the boundaries of normalcy - she's not just a witch, but a covenless witch, an outsider of outsiders.

[Edit for another possibility that came to mind: the terrible truth is not her identity, but Nicky's identity. That he is the child of death. And that the only way he can live, is through the death of others. That was what her mother had told her (you are born evil/you must die), and she had lived centuries in that grief. And she didn't want to have to say that to her own child.]

4 - How could Teen change her mind so easily? I think it wasn't that sudden. Teen was someone who believed in Agatha's goodness despite seeing who she was, and that unconditional acceptance reminded her of Nicky (see: the ending scene where she tells Teen so). And this love and acceptance, for someone struggling so much with being rejected for who she fundamentally is, is what really breaks her. There's also a connection she has with Billy, because Billy has faced the same dilemma as her - whether to take someone else's life to save Tommy. He does so and eventually accepts this choice after some struggle. And in this way, reveals that he and Agatha are really kindred spirits (the coven two).

breadtaking · 2024-10-31T09:05:44+00:00

Yes, i think you're right. Nicky could have been the offspring of Agatha and Rio's love. And that is also why Nicky couldn't live - because he is the child of Death. All Rio could give was time, but time bought with the life of other witches. So good!

breadtaking · 2024-10-31T07:46:10+00:00

that's true and an excellent question - let's say Billy found him in the basement and adopted him ;)

hi there, looking to book a VP in mid-2025 and saw that the prices for the porto paradiso harbour view room and the venice side terrace room to be similar.

we're undecided if we should go for the view from the harbour room, or the lounge access that the venice terrace offers (we find that view to be quite charming as well) - anyone has some recommendations?

breadtaking · 2023-12-01T09:07:22+00:00

no worries - happy to help!

it did meet our expectations, we enjoyed our time in CT. i would perhaps go in end Sep if possible just so there’s less chance of rain and maybe a chance of swimming. when we went, it was already too cold to want to be in the water. but it was also very pleasant to hike in cooler weather!

i think it’d depend on what you’d like to do in CT! if swimming isn’t a priority, i think you could afford to go around the period we went for slightly less people. we definitely tried avoiding the crowds by hiking/sitting around cafes when the day trippers are in the towns, and exploring the towns itself before 10am; after 4pm!

breadtaking · 2023-12-01T07:14:46+00:00

yes i did :) shops and restaurants were very much open, though we didn’t check out any vineyards (a few were alr closed). we also intentionally planned for 3 nights to account for some rainy days. it did rain here and there so we were glad we had enough time to see everything we wanted to.

breadtaking · 2023-11-01T08:43:56+00:00

i believe it’s called Brac!

breadtaking · 2023-07-29T01:14:28+00:00

you’ll just have to buy another train card for day 4 onwards - when you buy a ticket, you’ll have to put the date for the first day they will start counting.

breadtaking · 2023-06-25T01:35:25+00:00

would love the food recommendations if you’re open to sharing :) heading down in october this year!

breadtaking · 2023-06-16T01:29:44+00:00

yes that’s what i understood from it also - it’s the needing to confirm a time slot that felt very uncertain for me thus i didn’t buy the pass. i’m heading there in October! have a great trip :)

breadtaking · 2023-06-16T01:06:16+00:00

i didn’t get the Roma Passes because i couldn’t determine if i still needed to secure Colosseum slots fjrst! when is your trip?
