ok so. we know agustus ‘gus’ stoneherst was a science teacher at nevermore. he eventually had a mental break because his body couldnt handle the powers of a davinci. he worked out of igao tower.

slurp, the zombie, the boy with the clockwork heart. was a davinci as seen in the animation sequence*. he worked out of iago tower. he died because of an experiment gone wrong.

iago tower was destroyed “in a freak electrical storm”

Stonherst was trying to steal/borrow (we don’t know slurp’s human name (yet))’s ability, it went wrong; killing the boy, destroying the tower, and driving stoneherst mad.

for anyone confused by the ending of episode 4.

*proof he was a davinci under the cut (because I explained to someone IRL and they were confused)

hes seen levitating the pencil with his mind/hand, and is a creative/inventor. telekinesis and the latter are the traits of davinci’s. (Which also may suggest rowan was something else because he only had the telekinesis to our knowledge but also they likely hadnt thought that far ahead while writing him and when they got to season 2 were like oh yeah we introduced telekinesis we should use it and developed it but then forgot about rowan this is 100% a chance for me to write about rowan laslow i loved him why’d he die so early he was so interesting helpppp)

Enid wants to be in a romantic found family sitcom and Wednesday wants to be in a mystery horror slasher movie, what they don't know is that they're in something that is actually both and thats what makes their dynamic so fucking funny

asking god if he could play it again.

i feel like high school/middle school sitcoms set the unrealistic expectation of being able to have lunch time outside

So here are some random thoughts on Wednesday an Tyler because watching and analysing silly shows calms me down

1. When they first see eachother in S2, Wednesday and Tyler exchange hurtful blows like passionate once lovers who now feel hurt and betrayed. They know exactly how to get under eachothers' skins. Omg how low do they go and how petty they are. The feelings and passion are still there but turned 180.

So when Wednesday says

'....she saw the real you. An expendable nobody. A feeble minded schoolyard bully with nothing to offer the world except for subpar barista skills. Your fleeting moment of notoriety will fade quicker than your generic looks. Thinking of you rotting away in this cell in anonymous mediocrity, that...is the best revenge '

....she knows exactly what she is doing. I think Tyler believes that Wednesday was only interested in him because she has sensed the hyde in him somehow. He was almost gleeful when he's noticed Wednesday develops an interest with the monster. And he's admitted his bullying behaviour was because he was bitter about his situation in life - he thinks he's a nobody. And from what we know of his family life, he might have subconciously thought he's not worthy of love and intrest as he grew up without a mother, and his father neglected him emotionally.

I think Tyler was kind of in awe of Wednesday, of her knowledhe and talents and personality (during their first meeting she's fixed a professional coffee machine, proved she knows Italian fluently, disarmed three bullies and planned her escape from school). Tyler was proud that a girl like that took interest in him, but because his self esteem was so low, believed that it was only because of hyde in him.

So Wednesday's words were absolutely brutal and gut wrenching for him (but totally understandable given the circumstances). Wednesday has won that psychological warfare handsdown.

2. When Tyler says 'we are two blackhearted souls ready to pillage the word together' - isn't he actually proposing to Wednesday that she becomes the master to his hyde? Is that his plan to get out of the asylum? Tempt Wednesday with this idea, and let her free him and become his master? He hates Thornhill for sure for all that she did to him. But if he has to have a master, who would be better than Wednesday? The person who actually cared for him? That he liked and respected, and who had morals? Or is he only proposing it as a way to get out of the asylum?

3. When Wednesday has said

'Your fleeting moment of notoriety will fade quicker than your generic looks. Thinking of you rotting away in this cell in anonymous mediocrity, that...is the best revenge ' -

....I was wondering what notoriety? Sure, he's famous in his hometown now, but not in a good way - he's hated and feared. Maybe he's famous in psychitrists circles, but not a good thing neither. So maybe she's mant the psycho fangirls that try to visit him in the asylum? Could she be a tiny bit jaleous and petty about that? Because the feelings that they had for each other were real and they are not gone yet? Just a thought!

I really should rewatch s2 part 1 of Wednesday again before I make this post but the thing is that I don't really want to lol

These are my thoughts on part one, here's hoping part two doesn't put me in the same situation.

Okay so I think my biggest gripe with the season has to do with Tyler. Tbh, it extends to the Galpin men in general but we'll get to that later. With Tyler, I feel like this first part of the season left a lot to be desired for me. DO NOT MISTAKE ME, I'm just as compelled by "We're two black-hearted souls ready to pillage the world together" as everyone other Weyler/Wyler out there, and I have it written into a fic already. But when I look back at what's there, from a more zoomed out perspective... What is there, really?

Tyler's posturing. Pretending to be more than he is because that's who he thinks she'll want him to be. He's also desperate for attention, which he only wants from one person, and shuts out everyone who isn't her including his psychiatrist. (Which like, okay, I definitely understand distrusting a Normie institution with Outcast patients, that's fair, but the point still stands. She's there to talk to him and try to rehabilitate him. Yes I think that Fairburn intended to do good with him. But I'm pretty sure she's zombie food now so guess we'll never know.)

All of this isolation, self inflicted or instructed by Laurel is why he's become a little delusional about Wednesday and their connection. Which, okay, for me that was not as much of a turn off as it might've been for others. I personally like a man who's a little feral and deranged, so the growling was... Somethin'. Anyway.

The problem with it though is that his devotion won't change the way Wednesday feels about him. So what's he gonna do? Either he redeems himself or he removes himself from the equation bc there's no way in hell stubborn-as-hell Wednesday would ever fold the way he wants her to. Meanwhile he's like a dog with a bone about her, and it's... Stressing their relationship. Tyler moves forward, Wednesday moves back. Or sideways. Away from him, regardless, and instead of moving them closer it's just shifting them around the board. A lot of the season feels like that. Like they're just playing with dynamics and powers and personalities and having a little fun with it, which is fine! Overall the season does feel like it's a little packed, but I think that may be intentional. They need the TikTok gworlies to lock in.

Now on the topic of Donovan. I hate that he got murdered actually. Like, the last time we see him, he's gotten together the beginnings of a plan, of information, and then he just.... Fucking dies. It's so stupid.

Now don't get me wrong I think the way he treated Tyler and frankly everyone around him was awful, he clearly wasn't missed, but here I was thinking that his poor reputation/recognizing his son as an Outcast would've been such an interesting way to flip the script and work him into helping and redeeming himself, and healing his relationship with Tyler. But it doesn't happen because they had too many new character plotlines to balance and he was expendable bc he was so widely disliked. I understand what happened, I just don't like it lol. I like Donovan for the potential he (and Francoise) have as a love story, and a redemption, but I guess the writers don't feel the same (maybe because it mirrors Tyler's storyline too closely? Idk man.)

I think those are most of my thoughts. There were a lot of things I liked about season 2 part 1 (I actually kind of vibe with Agnes and Bruno, despite the fact that they both bring conflict into the show. Perhaps it's because of the conflict. It's like seasoning. Add a little bit of spice, y'know?) and Enid.... Babygirl.... I love you so much but why do you do the things you do. Asking with love and concern.

Also I think everyone saying they wouldn't do/say the things that Wednesday said to Enid, I am begging y'all to deepen your understandings of what friendship can be. That's all.

up at 3am googling how do i break out of a repetitive cycle that both comforts and harms me

Thinking about that episode of Castle where Castle and Beckett get driven into the Hudson in their car after seeing a guy shot dead for reasons they're only just beginning to understand and I think about those moments after the impact where they panic and then look at each other and know what they have to do in order to get out of this alive and they DO!!! They survive and save the day in their own way and wow I love Castle (2009-2016) you will always be on rotation in the Darling household.

Screaming crying throwing up. I'm finally reading one of the Lover diaries and listening to the album on my bedroom floor. Peak way to enjoy a Taylor Swift album if you ask me

What are we getting from Tyler in Part 2??

So with every thing going on I'm so excited for how everything is looking for part 2 of season 2, My question though is what are we going to see from Tyler in part 2?

Like will we get the battle between him and hyde at all?

Will he just appear overcome with madness no dual personality fighting?

Will we see maybe a split between tyler feeling guilty about what he did to wednesday?

More importantly how do you see this season ending with Tyler?

Will he reunite with his mom?

Will he go to Addams residence?

Will Gomez be he his lawyer and help him out by getting him house arrest and access to Nevermore?

Will Wednesday and him end on better terms?

Will Enid and him end on better terms?

Seriously...what's going to happen with Tyler in part 2???
