at the beginning of this week's episode, celia mentions someone named "jack". in the magnus archives, there was a statement giver named jack barnabas, who fell in love with agnes montague. also in the magnus archives, lynne hammond, known as "celia" after the change, sees agnes' ghost. i am connecting the dots. what does it mean.

I get so defensive of the women in TMA like "she killed people" "She fed that guy to the distortion!!" "She was mean to Jon!" " She tried to kill Jon" "She set that guy's head on fire!!" "She set that house on fire!" Like, God forbid women have hobbies right??? God forbid women do anything!!!

True Loves Kiss ( when kissing the messiah/the anti-christ please be cautious. though it may draw you out of the lonely it could also lead to severe facial scarring, but hey, you score either way!)

Like a deer in headlights

I’ve been going feral recently thinking about Jack Barnabus and Agnes Montague. Average man and fear goddess. Dude trying to impress a girl he’s sure is out of his league, and the literal incarnation of destruction who just wants a taste of a normal life. Is he the only person in her life who has neither worshiped nor feared her? Their conversations make her question her faith. She burns his face off but he still can’t bring himself to regret their time together, or to think of her with anything but awe and fondness. Did she know what she was doing, or was she human enough to get caught up by emotion and forget for a moment what her touch would do to him? A love that leaves him disfigured and which acts as the catalyst for her death. Is it comedy or tragedy? Coffee shop au but it’s canon.

AGNES MONTAGUE CAN STILL WIN

[ID: Digital sketch of Jack Barnabas and Agnes Montague based on a screenshot from Pushing Daisies. Agnes holds a heatproof silicone baking sheet (labelled with text and arrows above it) up to Jack’s face and kisses him through it. They both have peaceful, happy expressions and Jack’s hand is on Agnes’s waist. End ID.]

inspired by the Pushing Daisies Kissing Technique™, here’s how jack/agnes can still win

Are Gertrude and Agnes, you know? *limp wrist*

They have a complicated relationship.

I'm so fond of this episode, I love Agnes and Jack

@mement0m0r1 sharing this here because we’re onto something

Celia mentions a “Jack” at the beginning of Episode 11: Marked, right? Stick with me for a moment.

The name Jack has appeared only three times before in TMA: once mentioned offhand by Breekon, once tangentially related to the Everchase, and finally (and most PROMINENTLY) in Jack Barnabas, the man who dated Agnes Montague and ruined the ritual of the desolation.

Now, assuming that Celia is in fact the same from TMA, this would mean she was originally known as Lynne Hammond. Lynne Hammond gave a statement in MAG: 100 “I guess you had to be there,” talking about a ghostly woman who was on fire and could burn her- which *seems* linked to the desolation.

Conclusion: After losing Agnes, Jack Barnabas went on to date Lynne Hammond, inciting the anger of whatever connection Agnes still retained to the world and making her appear to Lynne. Now, in this alternate universe, Celia is still dating Jack Barnabas

Happy Valentines Day to the Lovers💕

DAY 7: IN ANOTHER LIFE...

@emerald-emerlad

Maybe in another life, they would have lived the love story they deserved....

I feel like most people interpret "I never understood the phrase like a deer in the headlights until she looked me in the eyes for the first time" as Jack immediately frozen, terrified, and intrigued by her cause hes literally about to be hit with something dangerous but bright. However, I always thought it was the reverse and he was describing Agnes' eyes. Like imagine a wide eyed Agnes seeing something in Jack, maybe recognizing that spark of hope, and being absolutely caught and terrified cause he was going to derail everything she was born to be.
