Which lady from the Charmed show did you relate most and what are your main three placements (Sun/Rising/Moon) Mine is Prue Halliwell and a bit of Paige Matthews - I am an Aries/Aries Rising/Virgo Moon
@charmedrumblings I had a thought that I wanted your opinion on. It seems to me that Patty’s and Penny’s positions on the girls being witches flip flops. In That 70s Episode, we see both Patty and Penny are powerful, headstrong witches, but it is definitely Penny pushing their witchcraft heritage (the recipes they learn from me don’t come from Betty Crocker, dear), while Patty is seems to want a more normal life for them (I’d rather love you as mortal daughters than have to mourn you as dead witches).
Then later in the series, in Just Harried, Victor says that Patty wanted to raise them as witches instead of little girls, and in Pre-Witched we see a flashback of Penny and Patty arguing over the girls; Penny wants to keep their powers bound, but Patty wants them to become witches: Penny: who are we to decide they are meant to be witches; Patty: who are we to decide that they’re not.
Through the course of the show I definitely get the feeling that Penny is the driving force of their witch legacy; she is the one the girls turn to for witchcraft advice and the one who is most disappointed they faked their deaths and abandoned their destiny in season 8. As I’m writing this though, I wonder if the reason Patty’s attitude changed and she wanted them to become witches was because of the Charmed Ones’ trip to the 70s. Maybe she saw that no matter what she did they would become the Charmed Ones, so she decided there is no use resisting destiny and changed her parenting style to prepare them as much as possible for the dangers they would face.
A rambling bunch of thoughts, I know but I’d love your (and the Charmed fandom’s) opinions.
