nothing, literally no caption, just wanted to say that I really, really love the Addams family even if I wish they made a different version of the series

[law-of-nines]

No no no. What the hell? What?! I don’t accept this.

What do you mean Thing is Issac’s right hand?

Thing has been the Addams family for generations. Before Gomez and Morticia even became a couple.

Why are they changing this? Ugh… I hate retcons.

Only Enid knows how to make a hand feel like home away from home this friendship is the most cuties

Spoilers for Wednesday Season 2

Just a random thought: Season 3 will be the perfect opportunity to bring back Yoko because

Enid's lost and stuck in her wolf form. Wednesday's going to need all the help she can get to find her. Who better than another close friend of Enid?

Just say Yoko graduated and has been going to college in the area.

Hey Wenclair nation! I have an unpopular opinion to share and I think some if not most of you won’t like it but here it goes:

I don’t like the morticiafication and gomezfication of the Wenclair ship or of Wednesday in romantic relationships in general.

Wednesday is her own person and a very different one from her parents. I simply cannot picture Wednesday saying things like Cara Mia or Mon Cher (I know the Wednesday from the movies said if once but that’s another Wednesday). I think she’s the kind of person who would either give her s/o a darker kind of pet name with a meaning so deep one wouldn’t realize that it’s loving, or just say the person’s name no pet names at all.

And Enid is completely different from both Gomez and Morticia too. She’s too bubbly to have the same dynamic Gomez and Morticia have. She’s the sunshine to Wednesday’s grumpy.

They do have some parallels like Wenclair would do anything to save each other the same way Gomez and Morticia would. But besides that and the fact that they’re obviously soulmates that’s the only thing they have in common with the older couple. In fact, their love story is completely the opposite.

Gomez proposed to Morticia the same day they met. Wednesday and Enid clashed at first because of their differences. Wenclair started liking each other with time till the point of being the most important person in the other’s life. Wenclair is a slowburn, a friends to best friends to lovers, an unspoken thing they don’t want to admit out of fear.

I just want more representation of the real Wenclair and less Morticia and Gomez but lesbian and with different names. Like, don’t get me wrong I love Morticia and Gomez’s relationship but that’s not Wenclair.

Theory: Capri’s Hidden Agenda

When Capri first arrives at Nevermore, she claims she came after hearing about the chaos of last year and wanted to “give back” to her community. On the surface, this reads as her talking about the outcast community. This dialogue seems like a noble cover story—and one that would charm someone like Dort and the Nevermore staff—both flattering and believable. But later on we find out about her conenctions to the Hyde community.

Capri isn’t just any outcast. She has direct ties to Hydes: a father who is one, and a boyfriend who once turned on her under the command of his master. The survival story she tells (boyfriend truly loved her but master got jealous, she ordered him to kill her, he attacked her on a full moon, wolf v/s hyde fight, then he killed his master and slowly started going insane and ended up dead) sounds less like a tragic memory and more like a credential. These are the exact details of Wednesday and Tyler's story, something we know she's heard about already.

Plus can we talk about what an absolute set up this talk was. She told Dort about her Hyde boyfriend, which is crazy—who tells their employer stuff like that. And he mentions it to Wednesday, so she gets the brilliant idea to snoop through Capri's desk and she finds newspaper clippings that miraculously tell her everything about what happened with her boyfriend. Again a crazy and illogical thing. Who keeps their attempted-murder/dead ex-boyfriend's crimes clippings in their office? Even if she was keeping them for sentimental reasons—in her office? Does she not have a home or what?

And if this wasn't enough she knew Wednesday was actively trying to find Tyler and make herself his new master. She stops Wednesday in a dramatic 'you can’t do this' moment, but doesn’t tell the staff, the police, or even Wednesday’s parents about what’s really going on. Instead, she intervenes in a way that just fuels Wednesday’s obsession with doing the impossible. Also, Capri already knows that Hydes don’t need a master if they have a pack. She could have told Wednesday this, which would have defused the whole reckless plan. But she just says that she hasn't ever seen a Hyde being remastered: something that just fuels Wednesday more.

This is where my theory takes shape: what if Capri was sent back to help Tyler?

The signs line up suspiciously neatly. The Hyde pack hears about Tyler getting exploited by Thornhill and wants to help him so they send Capri. She secures a job at Nevermore under the guise of music, but almost instantly offers her talents to Willow Hill. Music therapy is the perfect Trojan horse—a way to enter the asylum as a benign presence, calm the low-risk patients, and then slowly gain access to the ones who posed a real challenge.

And who, of course, is at Willow Hill? Tyler.

Capri plays the long game. She stays secretive with Wednesday, refusing to volunteer too much about her past, yet suddenly demonstrates a precise command of Hyde psychology: how masters work, how male Hydes can’t survive long without one, how breaking the bond destabilizes them etc.

Plus in the finale, she approaches Tyler not as a teacher, not even as a fellow outcast, but as a recruiter. She offers him a “Hyde pack,” a hidden collective that claims to live outside the master system, and frames it as a solution to his master problem. She basically corners him with two choices:

1. Go insane without a master and eventually die.

2. Join a Hyde utopia where he’ll finally belong.

So what if Capri’s entire arc—the convenient tragic backstory, the clippings in her office, the secrecy with Wednesday, the Willow Hill volunteering—was all planned?

My thoughts on Francoise in Season 2.

Like many here, I too was upset by how Francoise turned out. I think because we spent nearly three years here in between seasons talking about her from what was established post-S1, we didn’t exactly prepare ourselves for her being an antagonist. Frankly I didn’t think they were going to bring her back from the dead.

But I would like to discuss the canon version of Francoise. She is truly a complicated character in the series and it must have been wrenching for Tyler to realise that his mother wasn’t exactly the person who he thought she’d be.

I have no doubt that Francoise loved her son, but her attempts at parenting and what she had planned for Tyler were awful. However, I can understand why she was presented like this. Francoise was obviously scared of her Hyde and the damage it could cause, so she desperately craved a normal life. It’s why she stayed in Jericho, married Donovan, and had Tyler. But being a Hyde is what ultimately kept her locked away from her family for thirteen years. Meaning she missed out on all of her son’s birthdays, him growing up, and all other important milestones in his life. She never even saw her husband again as he would be killed just weeks before she was even discovered still alive. That’s why she wanted to get rid of Tyler’s Hyde, because she didn’t want him to suffer the way she did. And it’s also why she did not care about what Isaac did or who he killed, because in her mind, if he could get rid of the beast within Tyler that her own robbed her of so many years with her son, then what Isaac did didn’t matter to her, for the end justified the means.

You’ll also notice that Francoise treated Tyler like a little kid throughout the season… “Eat your pancakes,” “Never raise your voice to me,” and “Seat belt sweetie.” This is because that was truly the last time she ever saw him, as a little kid. Personally I think she’s emotionally distraught that she missed out on all of that and couldn’t accept that Tyler was grown up now.

I like to think that if Stonehearst hadn’t done what he did to Francoise, and she wasn’t kept hidden away, then she would have turned out alright.

can we talk about the way Wednesday's face fucking falls when she sees wolf Enid. She's all like "Oh my gods, you magnificent creature, you are an idiot, an imbecile. why would you wolf out permanently for me??" she's devastated and so in love all at once. jenna ortega deserves awards and wenclair deserves to be cannon.

Pre-Wenclair. At the very end of Season 2, in Ophelia’s cell.

Hester: I suppose it’s time to have Wednesday’s crypt prepared.

Varicose: *looks to the side and grunts*

Hester: What do you mean there’s more?

Hester: 😒

Hester: 🤨

Hester: Well now, I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. That girl’s dance was the gayest thing I’ve seen since we caught Lurch moonlighting as a stripper at that seedy men’s club.

Varicose: *groans in agreement*

“There's a deep connection and an appreciation that they both step outside the lines of what an ordinary person would do” that literally sounds like Wenclair. That’s what WEDNESDAY AND ENID’s relationship has been like since season 1. They’re the ones with a deep connection and respect. They’re the ones who spent the entirety of season 2 stepping outside the lines of what an ordinary person would do for each other. NONE of these words apply to Wednesday and Tyler I’m tired of these old white men’s lies.

These guys, I'm convinced don't actually watch their own show to see how things actually play out on screen. Nor do I believe that they remember what they wrote and every day I'm more and more convinced they just make up new stuff every time and retconn what they said before. They keep giving these interviews focused solely on Tyler and his motivations and feelings now because they didn't actually show any of it on screen.

The thing they said in the one of the interviews was about how he's shown her respect?? when? tell me when, Miles, tell me specifically when he respected her by trying to murder her and her family, oh he hesitated in a shot for 1 and 1/4 second? That must secretly mean he wants to save her!! but then doesn't....not respect man

BIANCA BARCLAY MY BABY

MINOR WEDNESDAY S2 SPOILERS!!!!

Bianca being dumped by her boyfriend because he thought he couldn't trust her to not use her siren song on him onky to later ask her to use her powers on him to make him forget about another girl.

Her mom having been implied to have not seen her since she ran away and only turning up to convince her to go back to the cult

Bianca saying she was being groomed by a man ,who would one day become her step-father, to replace her mom when her mom's siren song ran outb (could also be seen as: "became to old" ) and that of all the kids she was his favourite?

Dort introducing Gabrielle to Gideon and basically ruining her life from birth just to come back years later and ruin her life again

It literally makes me sick to think about her

#SPEAKINGMYTRUTH wyler is NOT a good ship. no, not bc it's a straight ship. no, not bc im a casual wenclair shipper. yes, even if theyre trying to tell us "there's still a spark" between them. THEY R LITERALLY SO TOXIC tyler threw her off a roof?? tried to kill her?? wednesday also almost killed him in werewolf form. idt tyler is in the right state of mind for romantic relationships nd it will literally be a shame to gomez and morticia if wednesday ended up with someone like tyler. i dont think it's love i think it's OBSESSION. enid wouldnt dare think of hurting wednesday even if they were in the middle of arguing nd i say this as them being friends even though yes enid did embarrass wednesday's body while they were switched.

on another note esp since they kept ajax and enid friends and took bruno out of the equation i hope theyll focus on friendship relations in s3!! the nightshades, eugene nd pugsley, wenclair and also with agnes guys im a sucker for platonic connections that become like family ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

AND SPEAKING OF FAMILY hello u cant drop that bomb ab aunt ophelia like that?? and grandmama nd morticia slowly healing a liiiittle bit. i hope they focus on morticia wednesday relations as well.

AND THINGGG I LOVE HIM SM GUYS

also #givetylerabreak HES LOST ENOUGH BRO HES JUST A KID TF DID HE DO. neglectful father, a mother than hit him after being separated for so long, an uncle who dgaf, a former master who basically groomed him, capri's support group better actually support the guy bro ima throw hands 😭😭

[law-of-nines]

This is the type of dynamic I want between them

[law-of-nines]

Whilst I wish Morning Song was a full season big bad and we had more Wednesday and Bianca bickering during it, I am so glad Bianca got her own plot as she deserves it, and that she got to be part of Dort’s downfall (even if she needed help, and that’s fine, he was made to be an extremely credible threat)

Do I wish it was a bit more fleshed out? Especially on why Bianca wasn’t trying to get people like Wednesday to help earlier? Yes

But did I still really like it? Yes

[law-of-nines]

Pre-Wenclair. Just a successful interaction.

Enid: *nervously* Hey Wednesday?

Wednesday: Yes, Enid?

Enid: Do you, um— I mean, would you like with me— against, er— together! If you want? Or uh, maybe behind? On?? Argh!

Wednesday: 😐

Enid: *increasingly flustered* Uh, beside, unless above? I can top— ack! I mean from above, or uh— during we can.

Wednesday: 😐

Enid: *sweats* Y’know! You, me, near, like, into from between, with us, outside? If you, um— down for me going with?

Wednesday: 🤔

Enid: *fist pump* Yes!

Bianca: The fuck was that?

Enid: *smugly* That was just me, successfully prepositioning Willa. Impressed by my rizz?

Bianca:

Bianca: No. Just fucking NO. Fuck all the way off, I’m out. Lose my fucking number until you’re officially together, because THIS siren?

Bianca: This siren is DONE.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Moxxie for his incredible, stubborn, irritating, independent sense of justice.

Moxxie arrives determined to carry out his solo mission.

But when he finds out that his target (apparently) has been wronged in the same way he has . . .

He doesn't passively change his mind. He focuses his energy on finding out who is in the wrong here. Where is the injustice really? And, yeah, he's biased by his personal experiences.

He changes his mission to freeing his target from his mob boss dad because, based on his own worldview and the information he's gathered, that's the right thing to do.

He's sure about his decision, but he's also willing to change it when he gets new information.

And his wrath turns on the guy he first identified with because he learns that this guy . . . well . . . has a father who loves him but is throwing that person away for money and power.

He quickly does what he knows is right, and feels entirely validated in it.

He even bothers to save the mob boss who cared for his son. 😭

I love the angel motif. It's funny and . . . Moxxie is acting here as a judge of right and wrong, and a genuinely good person (even if the motivating factors are personal trauma).

The guy wears his heart on his sleeve, and it's not a bad thing. He's vulnerable but he's also a walking moral litmus test, and someone we can trust to stand up for what he believes is right.

It was also just good to see Moxxie working alone and coming into his own a bit. He's getting more comfortable calling the shots without Blitz.

And also, Millie . . . I'm starting to understand you. This is kind of hot.

[law-of-nines]

Can’t get over the quiet way they showed the betrayal hitting twice for Moxxie here, both in all the ways his father was a shitty dad, which he’s known and lived with for a long time, but more than that, that he didn’t have to be. And that’s a whole different pain for Moxxie to have to work through. Crimson didn’t have to be, but he was. He could have made other choices, but he didn’t. He chose to be and continue being the monster who haunted Moxxie’s childhood. And exploring this feels so very relevant to the rest of the show: the idea that, as much as we are shaped by our environment, we don’t have to be beholden to it. Our choices are still ours
