30. pick one of your favorite quotes.

oooh yes. Maria’s fine most nights. She listens and nods and dreams, but one night, she couldn’t play along anymore.

+ on ao3, as her head’s always on her shoulders

They’d been on a blanket that night because the porch didn’t offer the best view of the whole sky. Bug spray thickened in their throats, but Monica used that as a reason to talk even louder. Faster to beat the cough building from too many nights out under the stars until way after her bedtime.

“She probably fights a hundred aliens a day,” Monica said. She propped herself up on her elbows to get a better look.

Maria’s eyebrows hiked up. “One hundred?”

“Yup, all over the galaxy. She flew through a spaceship, Mom; she can beat some aliens. And then she finds the little aliens that need somewhere to go and protects them, like she did with the Skrulls. Gosh, I hope her communicator can take pictures. We should’ve given her a camera. I want to see everything! Their new planet, and what a star looks like up close, and where we’ll all go on spring break.”

i haven’t watched enough 1998 tww to have extremely coherent thoughts but!!! she’s stern and she cares and she’s POWERFUL and a NERD and i’m a big fan! i watched the first ep of weird sisters academy and mildred turned to her for advice (well a magical hologram version BUT) and that made me emo?

also this is on kermit’s book in my. icon

She’s so talented!  She belongs on a great show.  A lot of people want to see her on a Shondaland show.  That would be good.  I would like to see her on something dramatic, something she can sink her teeth into.  Maybe something on HBO or Amazon.  A strong female with an agenda.  I don’t think we’ll see her do any genre work, though, because she won’t want to get typecast.  Honestly, give her a Sopranos style show, she did marvelously when she guest-starred on Chase.

just for fun, buy a plane ticket for somewhere and go, that very same day. or a train ticket. just something extravagant and crazy for the pure thrill of adventure!

lack of an airport close enough, and funds, however have prevented this goal so far

“lmao i feel like raquel cassidy is having the time of her life playing…”

aaaahh yes this! you explained it, there’s something about her on the everyday side that makes those small moments of genuine vulnerability feel so much stronger. Another one that gets me is when she’s trying to pull Ada out of the portrait, just before the alarm goes off

OMG DON’T GET ME STARTED THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVOURITE SPELL-CASTING MOMENT OF THE WHOLE SEASON 1

(okay, I wrote this and I immidietely knew I was lying, my favourite spell-casting moment is obv all the girls chanting to break agatha’s spell because I’m a sucker for theatrics, what a surprise)

but I LOVE this moment. mostly because raquel cassidy’s voice, undoing me on the best of days, is especially soothingly attractive in this scene

but also??? the scene before that??? when mildred tries to cast the same spell and hecate tells her to go and hide and be save and omg this is a. good. moment. 

I think - I haven’t thought much about it, so it’s a first-thought idea - it might be due to the fact she’s actually not that mean/viscious to the girls on everyday basis? she’s just (”just”) hella hardcore? I mean, I’ve seen people comparing her to snape and UGH THIS IS THE WORST COMPARISON EVER becayse as much as I love the concept of severus snape as a character, he’s a straight up abusive teacher??? which makes me so angry as someone who works at school and with children all the time? and sure, hecate’s super demanding and loves order and having this whole Persona air about her which simply makes it impossible to fuck around at her classes. but? she’s not a bully. and she CARES about the students and you can TELL. idk, I’m still stressing out the fact I can only base this on this reboot, but I think it’s also quite visible in the way girls - really YOUNG girls - react to her and behave around her? I’ve had a teacher exactly like her at school once and boy, was I afraid to piss her off by making mistakes (due to not preping enough) but in the same time I knew, always knew, she was a good teacher and I could learn so much from her?
