So Battington just revealed that "My Two Front Teeth" is actually a dream that Sofia had. This means that the Christmas special is canon, but not in the sense that the events in the special actually happened; it's just a story wound together from Sofia's trauma that's based on the tragedy of the Greywhinders.
This new information helps to explain a few things. For example, now we know why Sofia has a halo above her head throughout the special; it's because she knows that she died. She's also wearing a white gown similar to how angels are usually depicted.
It also explains the scene where Sofia is strapped down into a chair. I thought for the longest time that that scene was a metaphor for how Macy is now trapped in the body of a doll and also trapped under the demon's influence, but now I think that scene actually did happen. I think Sofia was asleep and having that nightmare while she was in that chair, and the reason she was thrashing and screaming was because she was being murdered by her father in her dream.
However, it also raises a few questions. At the beginning of the special, you can see the demon watching the family through a window. Does this mean that Sofia is aware of the demon's presence, and she knows that its arrival is what caused the family tragedy to occur? Or has this demon actually entered her dream and is the one who turned this innocent family Christmas celebration into a nightmare?
Tumblr media
There's also the fact that the Magical Sofia dolls make an appearance in her dream, even though they're not supposed to have been created until 1993. But Macy has to have seen them. Perhaps these dolls were prototype toys, just like how Sofia the Singing Marionette was also a prototype.
Tumblr media
Also...is Sofia afraid of her own mother now? She's terrified of Gloria after her mom becomes all twisted, taking on a form very similar to her appearance as a ghost. She even screams "You're not my Momma!" over and over. Yes, Gloria did try to protect Macy from Martin, but Macy is a child, and children tend to be ruled more by their emotions than logic. And to be fair, Gloria is terrifying. This little girl was just betrayed by her own father; how can she be sure that her mother won't hurt her, either?
Although there's also a scene in the special where this twisted version of Gloria enters Sofia's bedroom and approaches her bed...but doesn't actually do anything to her. Perhaps this is Sofia's subconscious trying to tell her that, even if her mother looks scary now, Gloria still loves her and would never hurt her the way Martin did.
Anyway, Battington wants to make a Halloween special for H&H, as well as another Christmas special, and I think it would be really cool if he continues to use these specials to peer into the nightmares that these characters are having. It's a unique way to show us how these characters are feeling after what they've been through.

I think there's something to be said for fanfiction that loves canon in a way that’s rude. Like thank you for this wonderful thematic tragedy made out of this character’s entire arc ending in death, it was emotionally and intellectually moving, but also fuck you fuck you fuck you they live, this time and every time they live, they never died, their flaws are not their undoing, actually they have no flaws, actually they save everyone, actually who cares about a story, any story, where this one dies, actually i cared about that story so much i made a new one, actually i cared so much i unmade the old one, you gave me morals and i left them for the mortal, but they’re mine now and i will never let them die, actually thank you, actually fuck you, strongly worded letter to follow
A kiss for canon and spit in its face all at once, it’s great

The deeply moralist tone that a lot of discussions about media representation take on here are primarily neoliberal before they are anything else. Like the shouting matches people get into about “purity culture” “pro/anti” etc nonsense (even if I think it’s true that some people have a deeply christian worldview about what art ought to say and represent about the world) are downstream of the basic neoliberal assumption that we can and must educate the public by being consumers in a market. “Bad representation” is often framed as a writer’s/developer’s/director’s/etc’s failure to properly educate their audience, or to educate them the wrong way with bad information about the world (which will compel their audience to act, behave, internalise or otherwise believe these bad representations about some social issue). Likewise, to “consume” or give money to a piece of media with Bad Representation is to legitimate and make stronger these bad representations in the world, an act which will cause more people to believe or internalise bad things about themselves or other people. And at the heart of both of those claims is, again, the assumption that mass public education should be undertaken by artists in a private market, who are responsible for creating moral fables and political allegories that they will instil in their audiences by selling it to them. These conversations often become pure nonsense if you don’t accept that the moral and political education of the world should be directed by like, studio executives or tv actors or authors on twitter. There is no horizon of possibility being imagined beyond purchasing, as an individual consumer in a market, your way into good beliefs about the world, instilled in you by Media Product

aang and sokka have by far the most underrated dynamic in atla. they’re very cute and silly together, but they’re also insane. like, aang’s central tension concerns refusing to let his values be shaped by war and the imperialist logic of his oppressors, whereas sokka’s entire value system has been defined by war, by his experience as a colonized subject. in many ways, the ultimate tragedy of aang’s character, that he may become too cynical to appreciate his cultural values of joy, friendship, freedom, harmony, and peace, is the tragedy that he might someday become what sokka already is.
if aang is a force for good in sokka’s life, showing him how to play, to appreciate living in the moment and connecting with others, then sokka is quite literally a corrupting influence. “there, that’s how it’s done,” he says, and you know he’s not just posturing, because you’ve already seen him kill people before without remorse. sokka is aang’s big brother, his friend, his protector. he plays his games, makes him laugh, shows him kindness and undying loyalty. but he is also everything that aang must constantly strive to never become. he is a ruthless tactician, a hyperlogical cynic, a killer.
sokka would do anything to survive and protect his loved ones against the cruelty of the world. so he chastises aang for refusing to kill, for being soft and idealistic. he in fact almost kills aang after he accidentally hurts katara. while aang can never let himself sink into despair, to adopt the colonial mindset of his oppressors, to close off his heart to hope and feeling, sokka already has. yes, aang shows him joy and friendship and the potential for freedom, but in truth, it’s too late for him. and perhaps if katara cannot retrieve her brother’s humanity, his very soul, from the hollow shell of who he has since become, she has a second chance now, with aang.

There’s this deleted clip from “THE_MIRACLE_CHILD” called the “Void Scene”, and it might just be one of my favourite scenes that Battington has made. I can understand why it didn’t make the final cut; it probably would’ve felt too random and out of place. But I honestly really like the bizarreness of it.

You’ve got Henry floating through the void, having ascended after deciding he’s done with Martin’s bullshit. 
Tumblr media
You’ve got G O A T

And then Henry just...spontaneously combusts. 
Like, of course the scene is supposed to be tragic, but it’s also fucking hilarious at the same time and I love it.

Solar return observations -4 🧁
All work of @notanastrologer.
Tumblr media
Chiron in 9th SR, can mean facing harships and disappointment in education or with professors.
North node in 9th SR, can indicate you coming across and obsessing over a new religion or spiritual practice.
If you Neptune trine SR ascendant in your solar return, you will feel like this year just passed by. Time will fly.
Uranus in 8th in solar return also shows change in your relationship status.
8th house stellium in a solar return chart can point towards many changes in that year. Or constantly changing of things. You might have to learn to adapt quickly. Can also mark an year of spiritual awakening.
Check for houses that are ruled by Retrograde planets in your solar return, this is where you will feel drained and have to put in hard work.
22 degrees in solar return shows you might achieve big things or a good turn out of events or significant events
Wherever your sun is in solar return chart, you will experience enlightenment in that area. New experiences and will discover something new about your beliefs in that area.
Like you do with your SR Ascendant, you need to check where does your Solar return IC fall in your natal chart, this will guide you where your emotions will be most affected by.
North node in 12th of SR indicates working towards your goal that will frutify next year.
North node conjunct ascendant of SR Shows finally taking actions towards your dreams and goals, you will setting up bases for your goals.
6th of SR if it falls in 2nd house of Natal can show money improvements, or even first job for some.
Jupiter in 6th in SR is commonly present in charts of students, especially of higher education. Showing classes will be part of your routine.
If 9th house of natal falls in solar return 6th house, samd result, you will be taking higher education or could also potentially show you taking spiritual practices daily in life. Meditation will be a daily ritual.
Sun in 8th/12th house and moon in angles or fire houses in solar return might indicate someone taking in more feminine roles this year.
Planets/angles in 13 degree Sola return can mean you finally starting something that you have been planning for a long time.
If you have Mars in 1st hous eof solar return you are more likely to take bold appearance decisions, you may start dressing your style/preference. If you are shy of wearing darker shades, you might go into that. Or just wear or try darker shades, you will be tapping into your glamour energy.
It's also not said enough, but another thing Mars in 1st in solar return can do is make you travel a lot, Mars is a busy energy so if it falls in your 9th/3rd house of natal or conjuncts mercury/Jupiter, you can definitely see that.
If you are in school/University, and If your SR Mars falls into your 9th/5th/3rd house or conjuncts Mercury/Jupiter of SR OR natal, there might be a time that you will have to defend your work.
Natal Venus or Mars if they fall in 5th house of solar return can indicate flirtatious relationships all year round.
If natal 7th lord/5th lord falls in 11th house of 11th house can mean a long lasting relationship might be in play this year.
Where ever Uranus is where you will experience freedom and possible detachment.
If SR ascendant falls in your natal 11th house you will experience something that has never happened before.
SR ascendant in natal 11th also shows possibility of starting a new job or just starting a career, as 11th house also governs the people that you meet at work place. So you will dealing with new work colleagues.
With Virgo degrees on ascendant in the SR chart, you may not like the attention you will be getting this year or you will shy away from attention. This can also happen even if Leo/Capricorn is rising in SR.
SR ascendant in 11th/8th house or focus on 11th house and 8th house in Solar return like through a Stellium or presence of sun here or North node in these houses can mean a busy year or one that will feel that it just flown by. I think this for 3rd house as well.
Venus in 11th house in SR means working towards materialistic goals this year mostly than love imo, you will be setting a foundation for your long term benefit.
Neptune in 11th SR CAN indicate realising a new found dream. There is lot of idealism this year or things you want for the future.
Earth signs in 11th house in SR shows working hard and usually proves beneficial for career unless seriously afflicted.
Mars in 11th SR isnt the best for collaborations that year, there can be competition and fight in groups, however also shows a strong motivation for a collective good so you will also be passionate about whatever group work you have taken over and you want the best result but this can also manifest as conflicts within the dynamic.
When you have sun in 8th/12th/6th house in SR, a good idea is to see how your IC/Moon. See if they make aspects with your sun, easy aspects like sextile, trine are good, this discomfort from sun placement (if any) will be handled well or boost your growth, hard aspects like opposition and square may take some time for you to adjust, you may not really like these changes.
Venus in Capricorn degrees (10°,22°) in SR shows rekindling old love or someone from your past may enter your life. This also goes for 5th house cusp/lord in Capricorn degrees.
If you have Moon in 3rd house and 6th house of solar return, you will feel on a daily basis this year.
