Still to this day obsessed with the fact that even before The Hug, Enid was the only person in the entire show, including Wednesday’s own family, that didn’t receive any type of death glare or threat when touching her.

And even beyond that, the way that Wednesday is constantly looking at Enid, especially in the moments where she’s touching her, it’s not with barely concealed rage, it’s deep fascination.

Like seriously, just go back and look at any shots of Enid holding Wednesday’s shoulders or arms and see how Wednesday does nothing to indicate any frustration with it. And then the way Wednesday looks at her…. There’s something in those eyes and it is not anger.

I’ll forever headcanon that Enid is the only person Wednesday not only allows to touch and hug her, but is the only one she desires to touch her. Well, Enid… and their children 🤭🤭

[rockbottomramblings]

You know what. Despite Wednesday managing to do everything that Enid requests of her, Enid would never take advantage of that. Could the girl who tried so hard not to cry because she not only almost lost Wednesday, but also hugged her on instinct despite knowing Wednesday's boundaries, ever do that? Hardly. That deadly ray of sunshine will just be there to support her cranky little storm cloud, and that's one of the main reasons I love them.

Look at her. That is the face of a cotton candy werewolf who threw herself in danger to protect her wife and deserves the whole goddamn world. Enid Sinclair never wanted to change Wednesday Addams, she just wanted to be part of her world and also, make her a little less pissed off in the process. Enid wanted to be accepted, just like she accepted Wednesday.

Side note, if I don't get a scene in season two where a very human Enid stands protectively in front of Wednesday, I'll be so disappointed.

y’all… let’s talk about the gay tension in this scene PLEASE. wednesday letting enid grab her arm and drag her LITERALLY wherever tf she wanted, enid staring at wednesday’s lips with that fucking oh-my-god-i’m-so-attracted-to-you lesbian ass look, both of them about to fucking STEP ON EACH OTHER WITH HOW CLOSE THEY’RE WALKING-

also it makes me so soft to think about even though enid was celebrating, she immediately realized wednesday’s absence and went to find her. there’s something so gay about that, like. she just wants to be with her pretty roomie all the time, so what if she’s planning their wedding in her head?? so WHAT if all she can do is stare like 0_0 at her lips and think about kissing the mess out of her??? she literally can’t help it. not her fault she’s a raging queer.

and then there’s this…

i feel like i’m intruding-

wednesday isn’t even subtle, she wants to kiss. so bad. and those EYES? my gOD SHE’S ACTUALLY IN LOVE. AND THE WAY SHE WATCHES HER LEAVE?? WENS YOU’RE A HOMO, BABE. A 🗣️HOMO. also her saying that she’ll think about hanging out with enid and her friends because she’s fucking SOFT for enid and she’s willing to try uncomfortable things for her and she doesn’t want to hurt her feelings by saying no because she CARES. WEDNESDAY ADDAMS CARES ABOUT ENID SINCLAIR AND I WON’T SHUT UP ABOUT IT. TRY AND MAKE ME.

ugh. they’re both disasters, and it makes me a disaster, and i just want to protect them forever and ever and ever.

you know what makes enid such a lovable character? she’s deceptively complex, and the specifics make her so fucking precious. LET ME PROVE MY THESIS.

when enid is first introduced in the show, we might be inclined to think that she’s merely a shallow representation of the polar opposite of wednesday—colorful, peppy, social, loud. but she’s so much more than just wednesday’s antithesis. and you see that from their very first interaction.

enid, clearly excited and optimistic about meeting her new roommate, rushes up to greet her with a huge smile and outstretched arms (already, a sign of her kindness). but the very second she realizes wednesday doesn’t want to reciprocate, she holds off. this might not seem like a big thing, but it’s extremely telling. for one, it shows us that before everything, enid respects wednesday’s boundaries. wednesday, who she doesn’t even know yet. and she continues to honor wednesday’s disinclination to hugs, repeatedly, until the final scene. it also indicates that she’s not ditsy or cluelessly abrasive like some other characters who share her disposition. enid is genuinely, thoroughly kind, and it’s striking.

however, as the scene continues and enid gives wednesday a tour of nevermore, it becomes clear that even though she is kind, she isn’t a one-dimensional people-pleaser. she doesn’t hesitate to give wednesday’s attitude right back to her. like when wednesday expresses annoyance over the name of the quad and enid tells her that “the whole snarky, goth-girl thing might’ve worked at normie school, but here, things are different,” and when wednesday shows disinterest in “participating in tribal adolescent cliches,” enid tells her to “use it to fill your obviously bottomless pit of disdain.” is enid sweet? yes. and is she (not so) subtly trying to impress her cute brunette roomie with her knowledge and interests? also yes. but what she’s not about to do is let wednesday sass her without matching her energy. it’s almost a playful kind of banter (i would say borderline flirtatious), and it’s one of the reasons wednesday is instantly drawn to her; enid isn’t afraid of her, or uncomfortable around her, or put off by her unfriendliness; instead, she’s able to interact with her in a way that keeps wednesday on her toes. this, combined with the way enid continuously respects her boundaries, is a dichotomy that wednesday finds irresistible, and it’s why she can’t not treat enid differently than everyone else. and it’s a big reason why she falls for her.

enid’s complexity only deepens when we discover that she can’t wolf out. we find out that she’s terrified of being alone, and as we get to family weekend, we see the dysfunctional dynamic she has with her parents. it becomes apparent that enid herself is a dichotomy; she presents herself to her peers as confident and bubbly and full of optimism, but the second she’s alone with her family, we see a glimpse of her truest self, who she is behind the mask—weary, sad, almost demure, responding to her mother’s criticism with a tired kind of acquiescence, “that’s me, a huge disappointment.” enid isn’t at all what we might have initially thought her to be, and to see her deal with not measuring up to her family’s standards makes her all the more authentic and relatable.

considering all of this, enid’s duplicity contextualizes her delicacy with wednesday in a way that is uniquely captivating. because enid has every reason to close herself off to other people, especially to her roommate who doesn’t even seem to like her, but she doesn’t. in fact, she goes above and beyond trying to befriend her—promising to keep her secret about nero, seeing her off with tyler at the harvesting festival, inviting her to multiple social events, expressing an interest in “bonding” when she took her dress shopping, organizing a birthday surprise for her, knitting her a snood in her signature colors, and even pulling one over on weems so that they could have a girl’s night out. so when she finds out that wednesday has deceived her, she’s rightfully upset and extremely hurt. during the fight scene, all of this comes out, and for the audience—much like for wednesday—enid’s anger is pain-inducing. we see the strength of her vulnerability in that moment, we see her reach the end of her rope, as it were, because deep down enid is just plain exhausted. and that’s what makes her really real. i see the humanity in her so clearly, and it makes me want to cry. it makes me want to reach through the screen and comfort her like wednesday couldn’t in that moment.

but as we know, enid comes back for wednesday. why? because even after everything, even after the betrayal and the snide remarks and the silence, she still wants to take care of wednesday. she still wants to be there for her, to protect her and be her friend. without waiting for an apology from the person who wronged her, she came back. and if that doesn’t make you love enid sinclair with all of your heart, nothing will.

[rockbottomramblings]

this is one of my favorite scenes, particularly because of the subtleties. it’s obvious by wednesday’s body language (look at the softness in her eyes, the way she almost blinks, her conflicted look) that she’s not put off by enid’s attempt to hug her. rather, she steps back merely on reflex, even hesitating a little (she nearly jerks forward) like she wants to change her mind. and then there’s the moment immediately afterward, where she takes a very intentional step into enid’s space. it’s so clear that she wants to accept enid’s hug, but she doesn’t know how, she isn’t used to it, and she sure as hell isn’t about to ask for it. typical, stubborn wednesday, not knowing how to deal with enid’s blatant affection. the attention to detail here is just so perfect, and it’s such a wonderfully done scene that foreshadows the pivotal moment where wednesday finally lets down her walls enough to fall into enid.

As a desperate lesbian who has been wanting a sapphic Wednesday portrayed for AAAAGES now, I still can't believe these things that the show gave me:

THE Wednesday Addams being shown jealous of a character that barely has any lines MULTIPLE times just because Enid mayyybe wants to choose said minor character as a roomie/bestie over her

BFFs Thing and Enid ganging up on Wednesday over her fashion sense and her pouting about it

Wednesday, who takes pride in her independence and relishes in isolation, admitting to have missed anyone is unthinkable. But she did! In her own way. Even if she was roundabout with her admittance, the fact that she got called out by both Thing and the goddamn villain shows how down bad she was during that fallout with Enid

"Thing said he missed you" and the way she visibly struggles against her nature to say "Skip the tape" with the tape symbolizing her breaking down her walls for Enid

something about Thornhill, who is played by an actress who also used to play Wednesday, telling this new Wednesday that she has to admit someday how much Enid has come to mean to her is just... ugh. Will never get over how much it adds so many layers to Wednesday's self-denial.

she held off all the insults in her bottomless vocabulary so she wouldn't completely offend Enid over the snood she made for her. She sugarcoated her words for Enid, which Wednesday NEVER does. In fact, it's the opposite of what she always does!

Enid VS Tyler bearing so much resemblance to that classic trope where the Love Interest saves the girl from the other Love Interest, even being a parallel to the fight between Gomez and Garret over Morticia

Enid lamented how she would never find a mate because she's not a real werewolf and would hence die alone, to which Wednesday remarks that it's a good thing in episode one. To emphasize Wednesday's apparent indifference to isolation, she is told that her nature as a raven means that she is fated to be alone like Enid feared for herself. In the finale, after Wednesday accepts that she doesn't want to be alone in the wake of her fallout with Enid, Enid finally wolfs out to save Wednesday. Enid made Wednesday realize that she doesn't actually like being alone, at least not when it meant she wouldn't have Enid by her side. In turn, Wednesday's life being threatened gave Enid the push to finally wolf out and, supposedly, now be given an opportunity to be eligible for a mate. I mean... I don't have high hopes, but the narrative is making it too easy to make it look like they were meant for each other

The heavy implication that Wednesday joined the Poe Cup because Bianca specifically said she wanted to make Enid cry over losing. The fact that she always deflected whenever Enid tried to confirm that Wednesday is doing it for her, but she never outright denied it!

"The mark you have left on me is indelible" and "I'll think of you" about Enid aksnnzzinsosnsj she gets sooooo sappy for herrrr

THE HUG. For people she's very very soft for, like her family, she only ever let THEM touch her. She's never show to start or reciprocate. SHE pulls Enid back into her. She holds Enid just as tightly, despite the injuries and despite Enid's pink coat. Enid toughens up for her but Wednesday is so vulnerable for her my god im so ill for them 💀

Haven’t been drawing for ages but desperately needed some softness… Heavily inspired by @boojangs’s soft and smiley (only for Enid) version of our favourite tiny terror 🥰🥰💖

Hope everyone enjoys my little art T-T 🤭💖🥰

Enid: Sentences.

Wednesday: Don’t interrupt me.

Wednesday Incorrect Quotes - Wednesday Addams part: who even knows anymore

[rockbottomramblings]

need so many instances in season 2 where wednesday and enid don’t understand personal space.

arguing and getting in each other’s faces

teasing, joking and leaning into each other

grabbing each other’s hands and sleeves for reassurance that the other person is still there

touching shoulders as they walk, like magnets that always pull together

standing together, or in front of the other person in protection

whispered observations, lingering for a moment too long

i want them to look like they are about to kiss time and time again, the slowest burn, until finally, in a moment that mirrors the first seasons finale, they crash into each others arms again.

wednesday pulls away, looking at enid’s face, her blue eyes filled with tears and a relieved smile on her lips.

wednesday can’t help but kiss her.

Enid, gossip-queening her ass off: So, you don't wanna be here at Nevermore?

Wednesday, having a fourth internalized gay panic attack since meeting Enid ten minutes ago: I want to be wherever you are.

Enid: You-

Wednesday: I just said that out loud, didn't I?
