This, but River finds the Doctor at a really bad place i.e. post Timeless Child reveal and because their first marriage happened the Gallifreyan way, which included the Doctor’s "real name" which is now a lie, it's one less marriage to annul because it was never "real" in the first place. But the Doctor doesn't explain, for River's benefit just says I lied about my name, so that's one out of the way and River thinks that was on purpose and it just enrages her more and serves as a domino effect to annul all others.

Oh my Godddd and the way 13 was an emotional wall to Yaz during flux... This would happen. Bad bf 13 u will always be famous

This is exactly how i’m feeling! like the jewish rep and the MLM kiss is important, and incredible, i’ll never say otherwise but having that be the romance we get in a women led show where they have been teasing the WLW couple all season feels like a slap in the face.

Absolutely! It just shows to be how much WLW rep and narratives seem to get sidelined and I'm so frustrated about it. AUGHHH

so... Agatha's worst nightmare takes place in a cabin that Rio clearly recognizes, stylized as a teenage sleepover, where a bunch of queer women make some VERY sexually-coded threats ("punish Agatha," tie her up, humiliate her, etc.)? and then her mother shows up to tell her she was born evil? and Rio's "her mother can't have her" comment? you guys... I am beginning to suspect that Agatha's backstory may have a lot more to do with queer persecution than just dark magic... I'm so Unwell

Rio hates evanora for what she did to Agatha. Agatha grew up as an outcast, with everyone being scared of her, and hating her. She never knew love, only fear, and pain, and loneliness. And finally, evanora and Agatha's entire coven try to kill her. Imagine 18 year old Agatha, trying so desperately to be good so that her mother would love her, or even just treat her like she can be, breaking down and sobbing on her knees because she just killed the only family she ever knew. She isn't heartless, she isn't cruel, and she isn't cold. She acts that way, but that's only because the people who truly needed to show her she wasn't, only fed into that image of her. Rio came to collect those bodies and fell in love with a young witch so broken and hurt that she didn't want to be who she was anymore if it meant everyone would hate her like this. Rio knows Agatha's pain and suffering, because she saw it. When Agatha says "I can be good" in the present, I just know Rio's heart broke. Do you know how many times Agatha probably sobbed into Rio's arms, just repeating over and over, "I can be good"? All she ever wanted was a family, she still longs for one like it's the only thing in the world. Her mother betrayed her, her coven betrayed her, and even now, her mother wants to kill her. Growing up your entire life knowing that your mother regrets letting you live has to do irreparable amounts of damage. Rio picked her up, and Rio was there. She fixed a broken girl, and she showed her that someone will love her no matter if she's "good" or "evil". Rio showed Agatha that no matter what she is, or what she does, she will always have one person that loves her beyond explanation. Rio gave Agatha what evanora never could; love. So of course, Rio hates evanora for breaking a soul so pure at heart, for ruining that beautiful girl she met all those years ago. Rio would die before letting Agatha's mother have her, and that is the true beauty of unconditional love.
