overprotective mami rio headcanons (based on this post):

• every time agatha was busy draining witches, rio tried to arrive early to keep nicky distracted from the mass murdering
• i like to imagine her hurriedly appearing to cover his little ears from the screams
• and—when agatha had visuals on nicky while killing—rio showing up in the form of an animal friend to distract him
• when nicky was a baby, rio accidentally bonked their heads together while giving him butterfly kisses and she’s probably still apologising for it and occasionally examining the now non-existent bonk mark 270 years later
• agatha and nicky both love to use it to take the piss out of her—faking headaches, sudden vision loss and generally just reminding her of the incident
• rio will start crying about it
• rio has made every kid who’s ever even mentioned nicky’s lack of a “father” wish they were dead
• perhaps even thrown a few threatening lydia tár-esque “i’m nicky’s father” into the mix ever so often
• rio usually calls nicky “mijo” but “my perfect little angel boy” is a close second
• the reason we never saw victoria the tarantula—rio’s familiar—in aaa is obviously that rio left her to keep a watchful eye over nicky back in their realm

sasheer zamata, lesbian icon that she is, made sure the agatha panel didn’t conclude without getting nicholas scratch confirmed as death’s gayby

immediately after handing in my paper i realised we had a maximum of 9600 keystrokes, NOT the 7200 keystrokes i had carefully curated my paper to fall just below 🥲

and that’s when being a yapper saves you bc i could just pull out a previous draft from pre-shortening it down to 7200 keystrokes 🤡
