Well, Wednesday is an ADDAMS! In that clan, pain and pleasure go hand-in-hand. Wednesday started out as just a cute little girl with a few kooky quirks (see Lisa Loring from the 1964 black & white sitcom) & became a dark, sardonic teenager (see nearly every depiction of her done ever since Christina Ricci in the two live action movies from the '90s). In 1972, the family crossed over with Mystery Inc. in an episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies ("Wednesday's Missing"), with the actors from the 1964 sitcom reprising their roles in animated form. In 1973, the family was animated for their own standalone series for the first time, with them being given a cross-country family road trip premise, which was later reused for the 2021 CGI film sequel to the 2019 CGI film. As to voice actors for the animated series, however, only Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester) & Ted Cassidy (Lurch [also Thing on the sitcom, although a stand-in producer was used whenever the sentient hand & the Frankenstein's Monster-like butler were on-screen at the same time]) were retained from the 1964 sitcom, whereas Wednesday was voiced by Cindy Henderson & Pugsley was voiced by a very young Jodie Foster. In 1992, off the back of the success from the 1991 live action film, there was a two season animated series reboot. This 2nd animated series brought back John Astin as family patriarch Gomez, meanwhile the rest of the family was voiced by notable voice actors & character actors (Wednesday was voiced by Debbie Drewberry, Uncle Fester was voiced by Rip Taylor, Granny Frump-Addams was voiced by Caroll Channing, etc.), although the 2nd animated had the familial theme song. There was the one-season sitcom reboot in 1998 (after 1997's Addams Family Reunion direct-to-video backdoor pilot film) starring Nicole Folgure as Wednesday, although she was just aping Christina Ricci's portrayal depiction more than anything else. The musical from 2010 ages her up to 18, but she still falls for a relatively normal boy with parents who put pressure upon him (Lucas Binecki), just as Christina Ricci's incarnation fell for Jewish asthmatic Joel Glicker in Addams Family Values. Meanwhile, crossover art paired her up with The Munsters' werewolf son Eddie Munster & eventually, the fan ship got the attention of Lisa Loring & Butch Patrick (who were attending horror conventions & appearing as celebrity contestants on game shows together), the original television Wednesday & Eddie, who then proceeded to engage in a mock wedding that was video taped by a fan of both franchises and for a time, the fan video of the mock wedding was readily available on video sharing websites before getting taken down for copyright violations. Melissa Hunter tried to rekindle the magic of Christina Ricci's portrayal with her Adult Wednesday web series, but she did so without the consent of MGM, Paramount, and The Charles & Tee Addams Estate, so even though fans of her take reuploaded the videos, Melissa was forced to stop producing them herself. The 2019 & 2021 films rendered the kooky clan in CGI for the first time, with the designs being near-identical to Charles Addams' single panel cartoon drawings that were printed in The New Yorker satirical magazine for seemingly sophisticated adults. In the two CGI films, Chole Moretz voiced Wednesday. At this time, Wednesday was even turned into a something of a media influencer, such as when she did an online makeup tutorial & took part in the family sing-along video, in which various celebrities (including the voice actors for the family in the CGI films) sang the snappy theme song whilst children superimposed using green screen effects danced along. Now, Tim Burton helms the current Netflix murder mystery whodunit series with Jenna Otega's Wednesday as a student at Nevermore Academy uncovering the mysteries surrounding the town (including discovering what Hydes - an obvious reference to Mr. Hyde from Robert Louis Stevensen's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde - are & probably finding out her friend Tyler is one of them, which is what draws her to him).

A huge part of why Wednesday is so distant from everybody is that she genuinely thinks she's unlovable. Love is transactional and she doesn't want to ever take part in that transaction. She doesn't want to owe anyone anything. She doesn't want to be owned, to be vulnerable. And she does not want to be rejected.

So she does everything she can to scare people off. She tells Tyler that he's making a mistake. She tells him, clearly lines out, why she's a horrible friend and girlfriend and why this relationship will never work out. If she doesn't care about others, then she cant get hurt. If she doesn't want to be loved, then the lack of love doesn't hurt.

But Tyler seemed to like her anyway. He seemed to genuinely care for her. Her many warnings did not work. He seemed to like her for who she was entirely, even her dark and off-putting side.

But he was manipulating her. He was lying to her. And to Wednesday, this is just confirmation of her deeply held belief that she's unlovable. That anyone who seems to care about her is trying to manipulate her. Tyler broke Wednesday's heart when Wednesday was desperately trying to deny having a heart.

Gell well soon! Hope life treats you well in all that you set your mind to.

Hi everybody this is beautifulpurpleflame. Something happened to me and I wanted to let you all know. 2 months ago I had a stroke and then I found more cancer. This whole time I've been in a hospital and I'll be for a while. A lot of doctors have been really great. One more thing I have is something I got from the stroke, it's called aphasia. So I won't be able to do things for a long time. But someday I'll be there again! Best of luck. I'll see you again once I get better.

I will say it's a small comfort to me that Gar and Raven are never aged out for each other though. They're always on the same team roster and they're always roughly the same age.

Real-life age gap between teenage/young adult Teagan Croft (she started her role on the live-action TITANS series as Raven at just 13-years-old, but she's somehow cited as 17 as of 2021) & middle-age Ryan Potter (age 30+), notwithstanding, of course.

Incidentally, the same could also be said for the pre-New 52 comics which first begot BBXRae as comic canon (during the Geoff Johns comic run, which is eerily coincidental, given how Geoff Johns is the present showrunner on TITANS) in the first place, considering how Beast Boy had finally grown-up as a young adult (age 20+), however Raven now found herself de-aged into a burgeoning 16-year-old host body/sacrificial vessel of high school age, thanks to being resurrected to be a child bride by the Trigon-worshipping Brother Blood Sebastian (whom an injured & self-loathing Beast Boy angrily referred to as Charles Manson Jr. whilst simultaneously berating himself over his shortcomings as leader of the Teen Titans - the 3rd iteration thereof, if we as comic readers/filmgoers/TV viewers, like DC editorial themselves did, openly disregarded specific splinter groups like Titans East, Titans L.A. & the original pre-reboot "Titans Hunt" storyline, but rather simply continued along in the footsteps of The Fab Five/"Junior Justice [Little] League", first introduced in the heavily campy 1960's as part of the whole self-imposed Comics Code Authority censorship nonsense in the wake of government officials being persuaded by the asinine theories put forth in the Seduction of the Innocent defamatory hit piece book that erroneously claimed comic books/action movies/violent videogames were leading contributors, if not outright catalysts, directly responsible for the rise in juvenile delinquency instead of pointing its self-righteously accusatory fingers at the true culprit of poor parenting or a known growing anti-establishmentarianism that existed courtesy of the rebellious, disenfranchised youth of America steadfastly believing in the "Us vs Them" mindset often seen between creatively innovative minds who feel stifled/hampered/marginalized by the increasingly corporate businesses their formerly engaging, previously free-thinking parent companies have since sadly turned into once the bubble that was the "Greed is Good" 1980's splurge finally burst & the "standards & practices" of political-correctness gone awry acted as code mandating more stringent guidelines & stricter adherence to preset regulations becoming the norm/stubborn teens versus similarly bull-headed adults/the crunched middle class & put upon poor being squeezed of every tax dollar meanwhile the wealthy 1% get even richer/the blue-collar everyman & scrappy underdog both standing up against corrupt civil authority propped up by an equally fundamentally flawed, clearly broken cultural system, which consequently fed the gritty, more dramatized stories created in the New Teen Titans era written by "creative geniuses" Marv Wolfman & George Perez, whose landmark run only spanned from 1980 to 1996, but was revitalized in 2003 under the standalone Teen Titans title by Geoff Johns, with the NTT holdovers mentoring the ex Young Justice team members before both teams ultimately split due to the death of lynchpin/mediator/peacemaker Donna Troy] shortly before the BBXRae memorable moment of the couple's first kiss inside the morgue during issue #30 of the "Life or Death" arc).

I think I'd lose it if they were to age up one and not the other and then shove random people together with both of them. (but knowing DC they'd pull this shit eventually

Raven with Damien was/is this, since Raven's chronologically canonically old enough to be Damien's mother Talia Al Ghul's age, but has been made younger with each passing adaptation of her character for reasons only known by the powers that be at DC Comics. Not to mention the fact that Damien in the Rebirth comics essentially received the Jason Todd treatment, right down to readers wanting him to die to benefit characters they liked much better than the jackass jerk blood son of the Batman, whose egotistical narcissism saw him perceive anyone but Batman as beneath him & unfairly deem not just hardened crooks, but also his more heroic allies & even innocent civilian citizens as expendable pawns, as his assassin background & cynical demeanor made him come off like a deplorable douchebag, which is why he was on Lazarus Island recouping from dying, just as Jason Todd before him came back from the dead as Red Hood. Happily, BBXRae has returned to being canon during this interim, however Damien has still somehow weaseled his way into Gabriel Piccolo & Kami Garcia's Beast Boy Loves Raven hopefully pro-BBXRae graphic novel, within which he has no valid business existing therein.

I find it ironic how the Teen Titans were originally a team of superheroes meant to be exclusive for the Justice League sidekicks (Robin for Batman, Wondergirl for Wonderwoman, Aqualad for Aquaman, Speedy for Green Lantern etc). Raven, Beast Boy, Starfire and Cyborg were new additions created just for this new team with no prior JL hero as a precursor for them to act as a sidekick to... And yet all the sidekicks are allowed to age up and out of the "Teen" in Teen Titans and replaced by even younger sidekicks to the older heroes but the very characters that should be the easiest to age up and out are the ones not allowed to. Cyborg is at least on the JL now and Starfire usually is aged up just because Dick is and they have a relationship but Raven and Gar are always kept as teens and it's just weird to me because @ DC why wouldn't you want to make two characters that you have mature and grow when there isn't even a threat to any of the older heroes associated with your other famous superhero team?

I will say it's a small comfort to me that Gar and Raven are never aged out for each other though. They're always on the same team roster and they're always roughly the same age. I think I'd lose it if they were to age up one and not the other and then shove random people together with both of them. (but knowing DC they'd pull this shit eventually and I'm sorry for speaking it prematurely... Hopefully this is not speaking it into existence tho cuz nobody wants that to exist)

Technically, all of humanity commits incest since we are genetically related in both religious tomes (The first woman [Eve] being created from the rib of the first man [Adam] at the start of Creation, Noah’s family & the animal pairs being the only survivors of The Great Flood, the Abrahamic line of descendants being full of inbreeding, the fact that - some people’s strange allergy to dust particles aside - we are each children of God & are, by all accounts, spirits living in a mere physical husk that will eventually decay because “You are dust & unto dust you shall return.”) AND scientific research (although each of us may look or behave differently, science itself, too, doesn’t necessarily dispel The Bible’s single common starting point regarding human existence, because science itself also agrees with religious doctrine that -- whether it’s from some unseen omnipresent sky father magical molding mentioned in Holy Scripture or courtesy of repeated scientific studies on genuine human evolution -- we all have the same basic inherent DNA when first conceived but become our uniquely individual selves shortly before birth [that is, unless a genetic anomaly/deformity occurs, as such is the case with supposedly “identical” twins or if were to dabble in “playing God” by seeking to clone our fellow humans like science has already done to mice, sheep & other test subject animals] & our innate genetic relation purportedly stems from one pre-Homo Sapien ancestor during the presumed separation between the earliest recorded humans and our furry ape primate counterparts seen in zoos & wildlife sanctuaries and on nature documentaries & animal-centric movie/TV shows), so, whether you want to classify it as incest or not, everyone in the world is, by some extension in some way or another, related, even if it’s as far-off distant cousins.

“My interpretation of it’s that they’re each Lokis, however they aren’t the identical particular person,” she says. “I don’t see them as being like brother and sister. They’ve utterly totally different backgrounds […] and I feel that’s actually essential to her character. They type of have the identical function when it comes to the universe and future, however they gained’t [sic] make the identical choices.”

Herron says thematically, Loki falling for Sylvie is an exploration of “self-love,” however solely within the sense that it’s Loki studying to grasp his personal motives and integrity. “[The show is] wanting on the self and asking ‘What makes us us?’” Herron says. “I imply, have a look at all of the Lokis throughout the present, they’re all utterly totally different. I feel there’s one thing stunning about his romantic relationship with Sylvie, however they’re not interchangeable.”
