Spoilers if you haven’t seen the Wednesday series on Netflix

I still ship Wednesday and Tyler. Tyler may be the villain but let’s not forget the complexities that come with it.

Throughout the series we see Wednesday learning about emotions, social interactions, and developing relationships.

Also Wednesday is our beloved goth girl who loves all things macabre and twisted.

She also never stated blatantly about how she feels about Tyler being the murderer, just proving that he was and she needed to stop him.

She put piranhas in the swimming pool.

Wednesday said she would have went further on Tyler’s prank to Xavier so she’s not above causing harm, also let’s not forget she did torture Tyler.

But murder, she made a few comments here and there but nothing was ever stated firmly whether she believes that’s above her and it’s wrong to do.

(If I’m wrong please let me know but if I remember correctly I don’t remember her ever stating murder was her boundary)

What the series did show though was attempted murder had an impact on her. Thing was stabbed and Eugene was attacked and both made an impact on her.

So now we have the Macabre Goth Girl who enjoys harm to others but has developed friendships and feels fear and concern when they are hurt.

She subtle develops feelings for Tyler who is the walking metaphor to her evolving of concern for others but the twisted enjoyment of pain and harm.

Tyler is both.

Because he is a Hyde.

A monster of Jekyll and Hyde

And we all know that story. Two halves of the same person fighting against each other.

Tyler is just like Wednesday.

Tyler doesn’t want to harm anyone but Hyde does. (Obviously we haven’t been shown that yet but for the sake of the posts just stay with me)

Tyler has feelings for Wednesday, Hyde will kill her.

Wednesday loves cause harm, but she is also evolving into making friends and caring for their wellbeing.

Tyler is her opposite and also he can keep up with her.

When they were on their date his banter and responses kept up with her.

Also on their date he did what he knew Wednesday would like.

A picnic in the crypt, to be tortured (the movie), and knew horror movies would bore her since he loved all things dark so he thought outside the box of something she would absolutely be disgusted by.

Tyler always thought of Wednesday not what he wanted of her.

No hate but *cough* Xavier *cough*

He never really got frustrated with her and when he did he kept it cool.

Could this all be a ruse because of him being the villain? Of course but you can’t just be the Hyde monster and no Jekyll.

Tyler had issues, Tyler had trauma. Tyler was used and abused to evoke the monster inside him, literally, but the other “monster” inside was a troubled kid.

Before Laurel he was just Tyler, Jekyll.

He’s complex and foils well with Wednesday.

I’m season 2 I hope to see a redemption arc and Wednesday see the complexity of Tyler and how they mirror each other that of course I hope develops their relationship.

But of course I also understand Wednesday is great all on her own and I am okay with that too.

Bitterly Beautiful, Part 7

Chapter 7: I see you for who you are.

Jericho was crying this day, the tears of Rain poured down heavy upon this funeral. Many Nevermore and Jericho residents stand at attention for the funeral of Mayor Walker, Enid being comforted by Ajax, (Y/n) stands next to them, silent. Wednesday was a bit further away, her focus on (Y/n), she wants to take the first steps forward, but it was too late. Yoko, a student of Nevermore and a Vampire with pitch black glasses steps up next to him, she gives him an honest smile and he tries to reciprocate. Unfortunately a certain Wednesday was on his mind too much. Wednesday took a step back, and simply watched.

"I enjoy funerals. I've been crashing them since I was old enough to read the obituary section. Mayor Walker was murdered, and I know the killer is here, standing innocently among us, plotting their next move. And watching everything I do. I know I'm close to the truth. I have all the pieces of the jigsaw. I just need to slot them into place. I must look past the tears and masks of grief. Until now, I may have been outmatched and outmaneuvered, but the final gambit has yet to be played. The killer will make a mistake, and I'll be ready." Wednesday senses someone is watching her, she tilts her head left to a shadowy figure who quickly disperses. She gives chase into the forest. She reaches a clearing and looks around. The man suddenly drops from a tree and Wednesdays Umbrella was a sword, She hurls it at the man, who catches the blade with a form of electricity. Wednesday for the first time smiles wide at this, knowing who it is.

"Uncle Fester." She said, the man removes his hat to a bald head, pale skin and slightly rounded eyes.

"How long have you been stalking me?" She asks.

"Just blew into town this morning and was hit by a wave of nostalgia."

"I thought you didn't go to Nevermore."

"I didn't. Your dad got all the brains. But I used to drop in on him. Usually from the ceiling with a dagger clutched between my teeth. Just to keep him on his toes."

"Of course." Wednesday smirks.

"He filled me in on what's been going on. Monsters, murder, mayhem. What fun! I told him I had a job in Boston, but I'd be checking up on you."

"What kind of job?"

"The kind that means I need somewhere to lay low for a couple days." Fester said, which gives Wednesday an idea. She takes fester to the Bee Hive, without Eugene there; it's dead silent.

"This place belongs to a friend."

"You've actually made a friend. That poor kid will be going home in a body bag." Wednesday and Fester enter the room, and Fester sees the box of bees.

"Oh. I like a hideout that comes with snacks." Fester opens up the hive box..

"Those bees are hibernating. They're practically Eugene's children. That means do not eat them!" She says, and Fester frowns and puts the Bee back.

"You know, when you give me that death stare of disapproval, you remind me of your mother. Speaking of scary things, you know what kind of monster you're dealing with?"

"I haven't been able to identify it." Wednesday shows the accurate drawing Xavier made, Fester gazed at it.

"Ooh. It's called a Hyde."

"As in Jekyll and Hyde?"

"Mm-hmm." Fester nods joyfully.

"You've seen one before?"

"Oh yeah. In '83, during my vacay at the Zurich Institute for the Criminally Insane. Where I got my first lobotomy. But you know lobotomies. They're like tattoos. Can't just get one."

"Tell me about the Hyde."

"Ah. Olga Malacova. Jeez. She had it all. Beauty, brains, and a penchant for necrophilia. Olga was a concert pianist, until one night she transformed in the middle of a Chopin sonata. Massacred a dozen audience members. And three music critics." Fester grins especially at that.

"What triggered her? Or did she just change on her own?"

"No idea. I only saw her in group electroshock therapy."

"There's never been any mention of Hydes in any outcast book. And Nevermore is reputed for having the best collection."

"You try Nathaniel Faulkner's diary? Before he founded Nevermore, Faulkner traveled the world, cataloging every outcast community."

"How do you know this?"

"You think your parents can't keep their hands off each other now, oy vey. I showed up unannounced one night in Gomez's dorm room. Let's just say I wasn't interrupting a pillow fight hehehe—"

"Uncle Fester."

"Right Right Yeah."

"The diary, where is it?"

"Nightshades Library. Your dad parked me there and said I should settle in for a long stretch. And that's when I found this nifty little safe. I was hoping for a stash of cash or jewels but instead I found a diary." Fester explains, Wednesday considers this and nods.

"We'll sneak into the Nightshades Library tonight. In the meantime, lay low...If you are discovered, I will disown you and collect the reward tied to your capture."

"I'd expect nothing less." Fester responds, as Wednesday leaves, he creeps back into the bed box and Wednesday storms back in.

"Leave the bees alone." She says, Fester unfortunately agrees and leaves them alone. Wednesday returns to Nevermore, walking down a corridor past the main lobby, she catches a glimpse of (Y/n) in her eye. She halts and turns her head to his direction, he's sitting alone, until a pair of legs walk over to him as he has his head down.

"This seat taken?" A voice said, he looks up and senses a lingering of, undead. He gave a sorry smile.

"Yoko. No it's open." He says, "Thanks." She replies and sits down across next to him. They begin to chat and Wednesday slowly creeps over to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"So, Enid tells me that you're going though a bit of a "Break up." Yoko Said.

"It's not a "Break up". She Never considered me more than a tool, more like, a difference of opinion I guess." He replies and she gives him a pat on the shoulder.

"Sorry to hear that, look I need some.. help with something and I'd appreciate it if you did. Could take your mind off of Wednesday." She says, he gives a soft smile in response.

"That.. would be nice." He said, and Yoko leads him away, Wednesday fumes as she watches this, but can she truly blame (Y/n) for his actions? She returns back to her Dorm to write her novel.

"My novel started out as a twisted fiction, but somehow reality has turned it into my own personal looking glass. My visit to the Gates mansion has left me with so many questions. If Laurel Gates died 20 years ago, then who's sleeping in her bedroom? Why do they have photos of me? And what is their connection to this Hyde? Whoever it is, they're clearly willing to kill for their secret. Goody predicted this quest for answers would become a lonely pursuit. Of course, Goody's nowhere to be found when I need her. The dead can be just as annoying and unreliable as the living." Wednesday monologues, the door opens and Enid awkwardly steps in.

"Hi. Sorry, I figured you were still at Mayor Walker's wake."

"As soon as the dirt hits the coffin, I'm out."

"I can't seem to find my bottle of silver moon nail polish. Do you mind if I look around? Yoko's hosting a mani-pedi party for her crew, she's busy right now—"

"With (Y/n)." Wednesday said, folding her arms. "This is the third time in 24 hours you've forgotten something."

"So, how is everything going?"

"Solitude suits me. With no annoying distractions, I'm almost finished with my novel."

"Oh, Was I an annoying distraction?" Enid said coldly.

"You definitely had some annoying habits."

"Such as?"

"You giggle when you text, which is a 24/7 addiction."

"At least it's not a migraine-inducing typewriter hammering into my head."

"When not grinding your canines, you growl in your sleep."

"As opposed to late night cello solos?"

"You over-commit to activities, then complain about them."

"I'd take that over your obsession with all things creepy." Enid says.

“(Y/n) Isn’t creepy.” Wednesday quickly fires back.

“What?” Enid says confused and Wednesday quickly changes the subject.

"You could gas an entire village with the amount of perfume you spritz. That's just off the top of my head.l

"Guess I'm lucky with the new roomie that doesn't try to find ways to endanger literally everybody she comes into contact with. In fact, Yoko and I are so in sync that she's begging me to be her new roomie. Permanently."

"Don't let me hold you back. Enjoy your solitude, Wednesday."

"It's not solitude if you're still here." Wednesday says as Enid storms off, she's still alone, still putting up those walls. Wednesday returns back to the secret library. She heads down it, and looks around.

"Uncle Fester?" Wednesday asks.

"And Who's Uncle Fester?" She hears a voice calling and Wednesday turns around to (Y/n), who was carrying a small box.

"What are you doing here?" Wednesday asks.

"We're Not Partners, I don't have to explain myself. What's your excuse for creeping around in the middle of the night?" He asks back.

"Research." She replies.

"On the monster?" He asks.

"It's a Hyde." She responds and (Y/n) stops.

"A Hyde? They've been barred from Nevermore for years.. why would one be here?" He asks, "I assume you're tracking it?" He said.

"We're Not Partners, I don't have to explain myself." Wednesday says with her cheeky undertone. (Y/n) just scoffs at her.

"You're right, why do I even try with you? You know what—"

"I would love to hear your all seeing insight." She says, "People would be more inclined to help you if you never used them. Maybe if you were more honest—"

"Fine. You want honesty? Here it is. Your condescendingly decent attitude, dreadfully annoyingly toxic personality, and your "innocent blind kid" technique to avoid suspicion is commendable, but it's obvious you're letting your feelings get in the way of the truth. There's a monster roaming this town and you're more preoccupied with how I feel about you. It's disgusting, annoying, and tiresome."

"Of course feelings for you are tiresome. That's your problem, you think everyone is some puzzle you need to solve and crack. Humans are a lot more complicated than that, some people genuinely want to be your friend. I did. Even when you went to jail for grave digging, I was by your side. Why?" (Y/n) says.

"Because for some reason I cannot fathom or indulge, you seem to like me." Wednesday fires back. And (Y/n) just smirks.

"Liked... Past tense." He responds coldly and walks away and up the stairs, Fester drops down.

"How long have you been lurking?" Wednesday asks as Fester laughs.

"Long enough to feel the romantic tension between you two. Yowza! Seriously, you could cut it with an executioner's axe! Reminds me of your mom and dad, totally gushing with emotion! I've never seen you this mad!" Fester says smiling, Wednesday just stares morbidly at him. The thumbing of fingers stop him and he looks over at a desk to see Thing, who's less than enthusiastic.

"I'd recognize the patter of those fingertips anywhere. Hello, Thing. You can't still be mad about the Kalamazoo job. It wasn't my fault." Fester said, Thing leaps at him grabbing his neck and strangling fester, they struggle against each other as he gasps for air.

"You said you could crack that safe in 30 seconds. Five minutes later, we were still there. You're all thumbs."

"Enough." Wednesday booms with her voice, the two stop and turn to her. "Let him go. Show me the diary." she said, fester shows Wednesday a painted of an, odd hairy monster.

"Here we are. Iggy was Faulkner's right hand. Trained a generation of Nightshades. And behind Iggy Itt..." he says and pulls on the painting to reveal a safe behind it. Thing crawls along it and cracks his knuckles. Thing begins to attempt to crack the code.

"Do I have time for a snooze, or can you crack this quickly? This is turning into a replay of Kalamazoo." Fester watches until the safe clicks, Thing opens it and inside was a rustic and old journal. Wednesday takes it and they retreat up to her Dorm room.

"These are some sweet digs. How'd you swing your own single?" Fester asks, Wednesday was too busy reading the journal.

"My former roommate couldn't handle my toxic personality. Here it is." Wednesday shows Fester the journal entry.

"Faulkner describes Hydes as artists by nature, but equally vindictive in temperament. Born of mutation, the Hyde lays dormant until unleashed by a traumatic event or unlocked through chemical inducement or hypnosis. This causes the Hyde to develop an immediate bond with its liberator, who the creature now sees as its master. It becomes the willing instrument of whatever nefarious agenda this new master might propose."

"Anyone willing to unlock a Hyde is a next-level sicko."

"That means I'm not looking for one killer but two. The monster and its master." Wednesday said, suddenly there was a knock at the door. Wednesday halted and approached, the door opened to (Y/n), who was pretty calm.

"I didn't want to just barge in, in case you were changing or something. Enid was looking for her full moon silver nail polish or whatever." He says, Wednesday didn't seem too hesitant to push him out, but she was quiet.

"Can I look for it?" He asks, Wednesday side steps.

"Thanks." He says and enters, he walks to her drawer.

"Enid she's un, has requested to room with Yoko for the rest of the school year..." (Y/n) says as he picks up and sniffs a nail polish.

"She did?" Wednesday said.

"Yeah, I just wanted you to know... in case you were wondering if she'd come back."

"I would rather buy a rope."

"Of course you would...Is it really that difficult for you to admit that you made a friend, and now that she's gone you might actually miss her? Miss me?"

"I'll survive alone. I always have." Wednesday responds, (Y/n) gives up and puts on a forced smile.

"Well. I'll let her know.." he says and puts his hands in his pocket.

"Also... a favor. Could you explain to me why someone is hiding in Enids plushies?" He says, Wednesday looks a bit taken aback and (Y/n) shrugs, he turns around.

"Come out. I know you're in here." He said, he senses the odd man's heartbeat and Fester stumbles out laughing.

"Wow! And I thought I was good at sniffing things out! What are you a bloodhound?"

"No, perceptive. Who are you? And what are you doing in a teenagers bedroom?" He says, Fester offers a handshake.

"Fester, I'm Wednesdays Uncle. Nice to meetcha!" Hd says, (Y/n) sighs and accepts the handshake, Wednesday watches the lightning touch him, but (Y/n) doesn't even flinch. Fester looks a bit taken aback, (Y/n)'s grip tightens and he yanks fester in close, they're face to face.

"You touch anything of Enids, even if one plushie is out of place and I will vaporize you. All I need to do is blink and you're gone. Do I make myself clear?" (Y/n)'s demeanor has shifted radically.

"Crystal! That's on the honor of the Girl Scouts I ate!" He says still smiling, (Y/n) let's go and walks away.

"Where are you going?” Wednesday asks.

"Not to snitch on you, whatever you do, as long as Enid is okay, is not my business anymore." He says, but he stops himself and he turns to her, he has this sad longing look on him.

"Just... Be careful, please." He says before leaving, as much as he hated Wednesday for using and getting Enid in harms way, he never wanted any harm to come to Wednesday either. It's a tough spot to hate someone, but also want them to be alright. Wednesday also felt this longing, her actions forced them away from her, while she claims solitude is what she desires, her heart says otherwise. She watches him leave, before fester laughs.

"Hey! Being a solo lobo has its perks. You get to live by your own rules, do whatever you want. Just look at me! And that guys a real charmer! Gives off that real super villain Mood." Fester said, Wednesday began to heavily consider something, and asked.

"Uncle fester.. the journal said that a Hyde can be awoken by traumatic events in a person? Can a person being forcibly blinded by their parents be traumatic?" Wednesday said.

"It's.. definitely possible! I mean I'm all for capital punishment but on your own kid? Just pick random ones off the street." He says, and Wednesday simply dreaded the thought.

The Super strength, the Traumatic events, no, (Y/n), he simply couldn't be...

(Y/n) entered the cafe, and sought after a seat.

"Yo, over here!" Yoko calls out and (Y/n) smiles hearing her voice, he walks over and sits across from her. They begin to chat pretty casually, across from the building, Wednesday was staring from afar. A bit too distracted now on her monster hunting. Fester looks over to where she's looking.

"He must be a Vampire, you know they're notoriously suave."

"He's a Fomorian.."

"Oh! You already know his breed? Aren't you just fawning?" Fester says casually.

"I will make due on my threat to hand you over and get the ransom." Wednesday said, only slightly deterring her Uncle.

"Well you look more gloomy than usual, and that's saying a lot, why don't you go over there and stab her in the heart already?"

"As much joy as that would bring me, it ill use my words." Wednesday stood up and approached. For the first time in her life she felt this toxic emotion, Jealousy.

"So, just be calm, cool about it and just say it." (Y/n) said to Yoko, she nods and they both are approached by Wednesday.

"(Y/n)" Wednesday said.

"Yeah?" He responds, Wednesday looks ready to murder Yoko but keeps her composure.

"I'd... like to speak with you. Privately."

"It's okay I was just going,” Yoko says, "She's here!" She says all giddy and (Y/n) nods.

"Go get Em Tiger." He responds and Yoko leaves to follow a Nevermore girl and speak with her, (Y/n) offers a seat.

"Seats open." He says and Wednesday sits across from her.

"So, what do you want to—"

"You need to stop seeing Yoko.. now." Wednesdays Just blurts it out, which actually stuns (Y/n).

"... talk about." He finishes, he begins to stand up.

"Yeah I'm not touching thay with a ten foot pole." He says, his wrist was suddenly grasped by Wednesday.

"At least listen to what I have to say before making a decision." She says, he slowly sits back down.

"Okay... talk." He says, Wednesday takes a deep breath and can't look him in the eye so she looks down slightly at the table.

"Ever since you and Enid departed from my life things have been.. challenging. I'll admit this form of solitude does not suit me. And after much consideration I will admit it, I used you and Enid and Tyler, I should have been more forthcoming about my plans instead of just manipulating you to do my bidding, but you're no better by using Yoko to upset me." Wednesday said and (Y/n) snickers.

"If you find something about what I said humorous than please share." Wednesday sharply said, and (Y/n) just smiles.

"Wednesday... Yoko swings for the other team."

"... what do sports have to do with this?" Wednesday said and (Y/n) laughs.

"You're so clueless it's actually cute!.." he says, Wednesday's eyes could stare daggers into his chest with her glare.

"Wednesday.. Yoko likes.. girls, Not guys." He says, which shocks Wednesday, she just stares at him.

"I.... Was not informed of that." She said, (Y/n) folds his arms and leans back.

"Everyone knows, You know men live for the day they can make a girl look stupid, and god this was so worth it. Wednesday, Yokos not into guys, she came to me asking for advice on how to ask a girl out, Divina, Kent's twin. That's why I've been hanging around with her so much. So, have any other insightful questions?" He asks smirking, Wednesday sighed wearily and began to muster up the courage to ask him.

"Yes, one more... would you, consider.. would you consider the date you planned?" She says, and he smirks even harder.

"You'll have to say the magic words~" (Y/n) says and Wednesday scowls after him.

"I'll place rusty thumbtacks all over your bedroom floor."

"That's not the word~"

"They'll never find your body.."

"Nope.. cmon I know you can do it." He said, Wednesday fiddles with her dress, gripping it on her hands as she musters up the guts to say it so cutely to him.

"Would you... would.. will you let me go on a date with you.. P-please?" She says, he smiled so honestly and nodded.

"Wednesday I'd love to spend time with you. plus I Figure after what happened last time, you owe me." He says.

"I can't sneak off of campus. All eyes are on me."

"Then we won't...Crackstone's Crypt." He stands up to leave and gives her one last quip.

"And I do forgive you Wednesday..." he said before leaving, and a bit of relief was finally washed over her. Night falls and Wednesday and (Y/n) stand before the crypt.

"Last time somebody threw a surprise for me here, it did not go as planned." She said.

"Yeah.. my bad about that, But you do have to close your eyes."

"Are you serious?"

"Oh you can't see for like 40 seconds? How tragic." He says, Wednesday says nothing and closed her eyes.

(Y/n) slowly leads her inside, "Okay. Watch your step. Wait here. Close your eyes. Okay. Easy. Right here. Okay, you can open your eyes now." He said, she opens them to a Punic, black cloth, even blacker basket of food. And what seems to be a makeshift stage.

"No one's ever taken you on a date inside a crypt before? How do you feel about, Macbeth?" He said.

"It's one of my favorites? Even Thing doesn't know that." Wednesday said.

"I had a feeling you'd like it because someone gets decapitated at the end. Seems on brand for you. But this ain't a movie. .." He said. He cracks his knuckles and smirks, he turns to the Stange and extends his hands. He then takes out a knife and cuts his hand very slightly. He places a drop of blood on the ground.

"ná bac leis an mbás thú! go dúisigh tú ar aird mo ghlao!"

"May death never stop you! May you awaken to the head of my call!"

Wednesday watches as dirt begins to move on its own, piling up and turning into bones! And more bones! Soon skeletons stood before them and Wednesday was actually amazed, she smiles, they even smell like death.

"Now, Macbeth, Please”, he says, one skeleton shifts it's body and begins to speak as if in a play.

"When ...shall we three meet again

In thunder, lightning, or in rain?"

The play begins, Wednesday watches with a Ural amazement in her eyes, seeing skeletons made of dirt reenact Macbeth is a treat not many get.

The story ends as per usual, the severed head of Macbeth is presented to Malcom. The play ends and the skeletons crumble into dirt, the two stood up after the play and walk to the exit.

"That was... Horrific..Thank you." She says, (Y/n) sighs and they stop and turn to each other.

"Wednesday, I don't mean to be so abrupt about this but, I think it's best if you know that. I truly do care for you, and I want us to be more than friends, so much more.." he begins.

"You'll snap out of it." She replies, and he gently takes her hand.

"Please...Don't do that don't Discount my feelings as puppy love."

"I'm not friend material, let alone more-than-friend material. I will ignore you, stomp on your heart, and always put my needs and interests first."

"You did.. and I wanted to hate you, but you know I'd stand by your side if you told me the truth, If you let me help you instead of using me."

"It's not going to work. I almost killed you." She says.

"Heh, Formorians Are notoriously hard to kill, but you Genuinely felt bad for it, means you can be better, I want you to be better."

"(Y/n)... we're incompatible.. and I think you'd want more out of life than someone who hates it" Wednesday said, (Y/n) looks down, he's been waiting for this moment and he tilts his head back up to look at her and shoots her right in the heart with his words.

"Well that's too bad Wednesday Addams... you think I'd want someone who wants more out of life ? Well... you're everything that I want!" He responds with so much confidence. She just, looks at him, he slowly leans in, ready to throw everything into the wind for her, Wednesday, almost as if drawn by her own emotion does as well, their lips inches away from finally getting to meet each other, but life has other plans and someone bursts into the crypt, the sheriff. He sees the two teenagers and they quickly turn to him.

"What the hell?" He says, "There's a canoe missing. Figured he might be on Raven Island. I'm not going to ask what this is, but I never saw the two of you here. You got it?" he says before leaving them there. (Y/n) just laughs as Wednesdays pulls her hands from him.

"So... shall I escort you home?" He asks.

"I'll be fine. I need time to.. think." She said.

"Heh, okay.. I'll be seeing you." He says, he cheers slightly under his breath. His first real date and it went perfectly! But some dreams for others, are just nightmares for another.

Wednesday returns to her room to see the place has been ransacked. "Thing?" She asks, and comes across him, stabbed to a pillar with a knife and quickly removed the blade from him. She only had one plan and ran for the bee hive. She storms into the room.

"Fester? Fester, help! Help! Help! Thing's not moving. He was stabbed! Get him on the table!" Fester, a bit confused quickly begins to shock thing. Trying to revive him as only Wednesday can watch distraught. But no avail, his body is still stiff.

"..He's gone, Wednesday."

"No, he's not. Thing. If you can hear me... if you die, I will kill you. Go again. Now! Again, please!" Fester continues to shock him, but it's still silence, a wave of actual pain hits Wednesday, a single tear was beginning to form, until things thumbs began to flex. A look of relief washes over Wednesday.

"For a minute, we thought you'd picked your last lock, buddy." Fester says

"Who did this to you? Knife from behind the back. Cowards. I promise that whoever did this to you will suffer. And it will be slow, long, and excruciatingly painful." Wednesday wipes a tear from her face. "I'll stitch him back up. They found your motorbike, so... the sheriff won't be far. You need to go. Maybe next time steal something a little less conspicuous."

"Where's the fun in that? All right. I'll lay low here tonight, keep an eye on the patient, and I'll skedaddle in the morning."

"I guess I'll see you at your arraignment or the next family reunion."

"You'll always be my favorite, Wednesday."

"Be sure to tell Pugsley that. It'll give him a complex." Wednesday smiles so slightly to her uncle, but she had to face the music, and Weems.

"I'm guessing it's not some kind of random prank." Weems said.

"Whoever ransacked my room also stole Nathaniel Faulkner's diary."

"That's supposed to be safely locked in the Nightshades Library."

"So you do know about that diary, which means you also know the monster we're after is called a Hyde." Wednesday said, it was only her and Weems, which let Weems finally relax.

"Faulkner spent years studying Hydes. He wanted to determine if they were just mindless killers or conscious of their actions."

"What was his conclusion?"

"He was killed by a Hyde before he could reach one. Others tried to carry on his research, but the Hydes were too unpredictable and violent. They were officially banned from Nevermore 30 years ago."

"All of this time, you've known the monster was a Hyde. Why didn't you tell the sheriff?"

"Because then Nevermore is done. Over. Shut for good. And that's not happening on my watch. But I'm not the only one withholding. If you suspect someone, you need to tell me."

"Why? All you've ever done is gaslight and obstruct me. You don't care how many people die, as long as your reputation is safe."

"I am protecting our Nevermore family, which also includes you, Ms. Addams." Weems responds a bit, forcefully, knowing what she's coming across, could finally be the key she needs to take the Hyde and it's master down. The next morning (Y/n) began his walk through Nevermore before being cut off by Bianca.

"Come with me. I have information about Mayor Walker's murder." She says, (Y/n) follows to the library and senses more in the room, Wednesdays and Lucas, the Mayors son. He shows Wednesday the photos.

"Printed these off my dad's computer. Seems he was trying to track down someone. Laurel Gates? Looks like he started right after Outreach Day."

"Must have recognized her there."

"According to British police, Laurel was presumed drowned, but no body was ever recovered."

"The Gates mansion was purchased a year ago by a 90-year-old candy heiress. She then mysteriously died and gave all of her belongings to her caregiver, Teresa L. Glau." Wednesday said, "Who?" Bianca asks.

"It's an anagram." (Y/n) explains. "For what?" Bianca and Lucas ask

"Laurel Gates." (Y/n) and Wednesday say in unison.

"Laurel secretly buys her old house and then comes back to Jericho as someone else. Why?" Bianca asked.

"Revenge on all the people she blames for her family's misfortunes. Your father. The coroner. My parents."

"And Most of all, Nevermore... but How does the monster fit into all of this?" (Y/n) thinks.

"The monster is a Hyde. It's doing Laurel's bidding. She controls it." Wednesday said,

"So, you think Laurel is using a Hyde to kill off Nevermore and Jericho residents responsible? But, who has the power to unlock a Hyde?" Bianca asks.

“The best guess would be a Psychiatrist or a..” (Y/n) says, and stops himself, he turns in the direction of Wednesday.

“Or a Therapist…”

"Wednesday, we don't have an appointment scheduled today."

Kinbott, the therapist stood before Wednesday, a black crow was in the window. Watching.

" I wanted to return something. I found it in your old childhood room." she shows Laurel a Music box.

"I know you're Laurel Gates, and you've come back to Jericho to seek your revenge. And so did Mayor Walker, which is why you had to kill him. Who better to slide in and out of the hospital undetected than a psychiatrist under the guise of visiting another patient?"

"...You're not actually accusing me of murdering the mayor?"

"The roses you left in Eugene's room were your mistake. They're the same variety I found near your childhood bed."

"Wednesday...I honestly have no idea what you're talking about."

"There's only one reason an overqualified psychiatrist like yourself would settle in the inconsequential backwater that is Jericho. It allowed you to crawl through the troubled, young minds of outcasts until you found one that you can manipulate to exact your revenge."

"You know what? I don't have time to deal with your delusional fantasies. I have a patient emergency."

"Who? Xavier? I know all about the secret sessions you've been holding in your car. I also found the cave where you've been holding sessions to unlock his Hyde."

"You are so out of line."

"Do you know how violently unpredictable a Hyde can be? It was your plan to have Xavier committed before he could turn on you too."

"Wednesday, you need help. More help than I can give you." Kinbott begins to dial her phone.

"Who you calling? Xavier?"

"Judge Reynolds. I'm going to recommend you stay in a juvenile psychiatric facility."

"Oh, please. You and I both know I'd be running that place in a week. Time's up, Laurel." Wednesday leaves, as the bird continues to watch. A bit a ways away, (Y/n) sits calmly, awaiting the crow to return.

"Principal Weems, it's Valerie Kinbott. Wednesday Addams just barged into my office. I wasn't aware that Wednesday had a session today. She didn't, and her behavior was completely irrational!" She yells before she hears something in the bathroom. She opens it up, and that spelled her end. (Y/n) stands as Wednesday approaches.

"All went well?" He asks.

"According to plan." She responds, he extends his arm as the crow lands and begins to caw rapidly.

"Yes I saw— what.. when? What!?" (Y/n) yells, which stuns Wednesday. He bolts off back to Kinbott.

"(Y/n)? (Y/n)?!" Wednesday follows suit and they push open the door, blood spilled past it and onto the ground. And Wednesday sees it splatter the walls. (Y/n) smells the scent of blood in the room, and the slowly cooling corpse before them. (Y/n) turns to Wednesday.

"No more games Wednesday, you know who the Hyde is.. we need to stop them. Now.

Xavier returns back to his dark shop and creeps in. He turns on the light to Wednesday sitting there, with a knife in the table.

"You know what? You need to stay out of my space."

"You need to take your own advice. You left that in my room." Wednesday Jams the knife into the table. "Actually, you left it in Thing. How long have you been seeing Kinbott?"

"Have you...What am I saying? Of course you have. You've been having (Y/n) and his creepy crowd spy on me, right? 'Cause I'm the villain in your fantasy. My father thinks that my mental health is a PR problem that he needs to manage. He wanted to keep his troubled son out of the tabloids. I wasn't in your room. Believe me or don't believe me, I don't care."

"Your painting's been improving. I enjoy this one in particular." Wednesday reveals a painting of kimbott, and her face scarred.

"Feels like you really lived it."

"What do you want?"

"I'm asking the questions." Wednesday begins to show Xavier the seeming tokens from Xavier's kills.

"What is Rowan's inhaler doing in your shed? Or Eugene's glasses?"

"Whoa, whoa." Xavier said

"Or these stalker images you took of me?"

"N-No. I..."

"Don't forget your latest addition. Kinbott's necklace."

"Somebody planted that stuff!" Xavier yells walking towards Wednesday, just then, the police barge in.

"Freeze! Drop the knife!"

"Down on your knees. Cuff him." You have the right to remain silent. Appreciate the help, Addams." The sheriff said, which just enrages Xavier.

"You! You framed me! I'm being set up. I shoulda let Rowan kill you." Xavier is cuffed and taken into custody, the night continues and Wednesday returns to her dorm. Which Enid was there.

"Hey."

"You're back."

"I'm gone for a few days, the place gets trashed, and Thing almost dies. Someone's gotta look out for you two."

"What happened to rooming with Yoko?"

"Yoko's great. I just decided I needed a few more boundaries." Enid prepares to tape the floor but Wednesday stops her. "Skip the tape."

"Don't tell me Wednesday Addams is mellowing out."

"Never. More like evolving."

"Well, one inch of duct tape at a time."

"Why the sudden change of heart Enid?"

"Because we work. We shouldn't, but we do. It's like some sort of weird, friendship anomaly. Everything you said about me is true...But I don't apologize for it. Not anymore, when I was first here, (Y/n) told me something that I never understood until now.. that, I'm me, and it's okay to be me, to never apologize for being the person who I am and to never let anyone change that. It's just who I am." Enid says so, confidently.

"Thing said he missed you."

"I missed him too. I'm sorry about Xavier."

"I'm not. He's a liar and a killer. Besides... there's nothing quite like the feeling of being proven right."

"Except maybe someone to share it with. Thing may have blabbed about your date with (Y/n)." Enid says winking, Wednesday just looks at her annoyed, but looks back on fond memories.

"So how'd it go?" Enid asks, Wednesday thinks about informing her of what could have happened.

"Your Surrogate brother knows how to Intrige a girl at least, I can see why you constantly battle the ideals of love and confusion about your feelings regarding him." Wednesday said which stuns Enid. "I-I don't have feelings—"

"It was interrupted." She finishes, Enid tries to play it all off. "Well maybe you should go see him? I mean you did sort of lock up his room mate." She said, and Wednesday agrees.

(Y/n) sits inside his dorm room, sensing the silence inside. He hears the door knock.

"It's open." He said, Wednesday enters and he senses her presence. He walks over and they get a bit, close.

"Are you okay? I know it must have been hard to do that to him." (Y/n) said.

"Not really, he was a murderer."

"Wow, that was a quick turn around... so, dumb question incoming—"

"I find all of your questions dumb, I just indulge you."

"Okay, so.. would you like to pick up where we left off?~" he Leans in, and this time, Wednesday isn't so hesitant herself, allowing his hand to gently caress her cheek, he risks it's all and she does as well. Their lips reach contact, and like a murder of crows their black hearts flock together. The sweet taste of black cherry on her lips, (Y/n) has never felt so happy, and Wednesday has never felt so, alive. And (Y/n) has never felt so, human. Alas, all good things come with a price. Wednesday, on contact had another vision.

She watched as (Y/n) stood to fight someone with his own pet wolf, against., Tyler! who transforms into the Hyde! The vision jumps to him crawling away from someone desperately trying to escape, and the final vision was Wednesday holding his corpse, almost as if fate was telling her that all fairytales come to a bloody end. She snaps out of it to (Y/n).

"Wednesday?! Wednesday what's wrong!" He asks, frantically, and she just stares at him.

"Of course the first boy I kiss would them show me visions of his grueling and painful death...And they say those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, well...

"I hate history."

Make up of Nevermore Students

Anyone with sunglasses = Vampire

Anyone with a toque = Gorgon

Anyone with gem eyes = Siren

Anyone without a face = Silent Horrors (I call them Faceless in WGF, but I like this more and may edit).

Werewolves and Psychics have no discernible physical, everyday “tell,” with the possible exception if they’re rowdy and many have poofy hair, then that = Werewolf? Otherwise, we can only tell lycanthropy when there’s a full moon.

Let’s assume anyone with any kind of mental power is considered a Psychic. Example: Eugene has apikinesis, the mental ability to control bees. Rowan had telekinesis, the ability to move the physical world with his mind. Rowan calls his mother a “Seer,” but we know she had a book and writing. This could simply be a journal of her visions, like Wednesday. It could be psychography, psychic premonitions via writing. It could be the drawing, automatic drawing, and she wrote what she thought it meant. It could be a mixture of both.

Other Outcasts with no physical, everyday tell, would be Shapeshifters.

Enid is quoted “…to educate people like us. Outcasts, freaks, monsters…fill in your favourite marginalized group here.”

I think this opens up any type of being for consideration of being an Outcast, but if we can only use what is shown from the television show/source material:

Other Outcasts that may exist but are not canonically confirmed.

Witches – The Frumps and Addamses are mediums and necromancers. Mediums because they can speak with the dead. Morticia says they get guidance from their ancestors and Wednesday attempts to call on Goody Addams. Goody Addams’ book, a grimoire, had a curse to lock Crackstone in his coffin, and a reanimation spell that raised Crackstone. The Outcasts just never specifically say Witch, but Crackstone accuses Goody of witchcraft.

I consider Mediums and Necromancers types of witchcraft because they require a spell or ritual. If Wednesday could simply call a ghost to her or raise the dead with her mind, then I’d consider those Psychic powers.

Hydes are confirmed, but I don’t know if they’re Shapeshifters or a type of Were. The latter being any kind of being that shifts into a monster under specific circumstances while Shapeshifters can shift at will. Werewolves, under a full moon. Hydes when under duress or tapping into the worst part of themselves.

The canon states that Hydes are “unleashed” by a traumatic event, or via chemical induction, the latter more in line with the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. So, are they Outcasts prior to their transformation, or are they Normies? Can anyone become a Hyde?

Tyler’s mother did attend Nevermore, but while Hydes are banned, they don’t question what kind of Outcast one is when applying…guess they really needed that tuition money. LOL. So, it could be that Hydes are any type of Outcasts, perhaps Psychics and that’s why Xavier had dreams of the monster, prior to being Unleashed. Perhaps the potential to become a Hyde is in everyone, or it runs in families. Or they could be their own distinct line of Outcasts that may or may not ever be Unleashed. We don’t know for sure. When was Mrs. Galpin’s Hyde unleashed? Was she a Hyde at Nevermore or was a regular Psychic and that’s why she was allowed in? Who was her master? If you traumatize or drug yourself, are you your own master?

If you’re looking at background characters and they’re not obviously a Vampire, Siren, or Gorgon, then your canonical options are: Psychic, Witch (implied), Werewolf, Shapeshifter, or Hyde.

You laughed shoving Xavier as you both walked to his shed. He opened the door letting you in first both of you talking off your jackets.

“Where do we start?” You asked as he turned on the light. Xavier watched as you jumped in fright putting a hand to your chest, sighed heavily as he turned around seeing Wednesday sat across the shed.

“Okay you know what, you need to say out of my space” Xavier said.

“Y/n’s here” Wednesday said.

“I invited them, they’re my best friend and you know they also do art” Xavier defended.

“Good thing they’re here though, you should take your own advice” Wednesday said getting up stabbing a knife into a stool. “You left that in my room” Wednesday said standing in front of Xavier, “Actually you left it in Thing” She stated before looking over at you. “How long have you two been seeing Kinbott?” She asked

“Have you-” Xavier cut himself off sighing.

“You’ve been spying on us, haven’t you” You sigh heavily rolling your eyes. Xavier grabs the knife with another sigh as he plays with it.

“Guess we’re still the villains in your fantasy” He says before explaining, “My father thinks that my mental health is a PR problem that he needs to manage, wanted to keep his troubled son out of the tabloids” He says handing you the knife as he sits on the same stool Wednesday stabbed.

“Weems thinks that due to my little arson problem, therapy is the best way to cope with my issues. Along with playing with Fire I’m obviously pretty hot headed” You said tossing the knife in the air catching it by the handle. “I only started seeing the therapist this semester, last year I had accidentally set field on fire after getting into a fight with one of Enid’s brothers. I just finished the fight with a little flame to his ass” You said pulling your sleeve up a little flame lighting in your hand. “We weren’t in your room” You stated firmly.

“Believe us or don’t believe us, we don’t care” Xavier finished. Wednesday eyes the covered painting next to you walking over it to making you step aside.

“Your paintings have been improving, I enjoy this one in particular” She said taking the fabric off the painting of Kinbott. “Feels like you really loved it”

“He had a-” Xavier held out a hand cutting you off.

“What do you want?” Xavier asked.

“I’m asking the questions” Wednesday stated as she shoved past you reaching into a basket she pulls out an inhaler. “What’s Rowan’s inhaler doing in your shed?” She asked. You and Xavier held looks of genuine confusion as she pulled out more items. “Or Eugene’s glasses-” Xavier tried to stop her but she cut him off “Or these stalker images you took of me” She looked back you for that one since you were the school photographer. Xavier tried to cut her off but Wednesday continued. “Don’t forget your latest edition,” She said pulling out a jar holding up a necklace. “Kinbott's necklace” She said.

“Somebody planted that stuff!” Xavier yells as the door behind you opens an officer coming in.

“Freeze!” He yells. “Drop the knife we got everything we need” Sheriff Galpin yells causing you to drop the knife and both you and Xavier raise your hands. “Cuff him”

The sheriff starts to put handcuffs on you as he stated the Miranda right. Both you and Xavier argue that the two of you had been framed.

“Y/n run” Xavier says firmly to you.

“This is racism i'm calling it right now it’s cause I’m a Hyde isn’t it” You argue against Galpin.

"It's exactly that" Wednesday and Galpin state.

“Y/n!”

“Not without you Xay!”

“Y/n!” Xavier gives you a stern look as you both are stood up. You sigh heavily setting your arms on fire. Galpin backs away patting away the flames on his jacket allowing you to jump over your cuffed arms and run.

“I have a Fire Hyde on the loose they’re going north into the woods” Galpin says into his walkie. “I appreciate the help Addams”

“You framed us, we’re being set up” Xavier tells the girl. “I should’ve let Rowan kill you, Y/n will get away and prove our innocence, I can’t believe they ever liked you” Xavier states before being walked out of his shed.

xxx

You spent the night in Crackstone’s Crypt. Officers were hot on your trail so you knew you couldn’t stay there long. You silently closed the door to the crypt making your way behind it where you jumped and threw a fist that Wednesday easily dodged. You took a deep breath before glaring at her.

“What do you want, turning me into the cops?” You asked.

“I know you’re innocent” Wednesday said.

“Oh now you do, after you framed Xay and I and had him arrested” You argue. “I don’t even wanna look at you right now Wens, I can’t believe I-” Wednesday shuts you up by grabbing both your arms pulling you towards her before kissing you. You stood there in shock like a deer in headlights before processing what had happened and kissing her back. When you pulled away your hands were loosely on the back of her neck while hers dropped from your shoulders. “I’m listening” You said.

“Tyler kissed me, I had a vision, he’s the Hyde,”

“Hold up you thought I was that type of Hyde? That’s racist man it’s cause of my last name isn’t it?” You argue

“I may or may not have taken an educated guess due to your bloodline relation to Jekyll” Wednesday said earning herself a flick on the forehead.

“So what you thought Xavier and I were Hydes” You asked.

“And Kinbott was your master. But when you told me you’d only been seeing her this semester it made sense to me that if you were a Hyde she would’ve needed more than one session a week to find out and become your master” Wednesday said.

“I am a Hyde, just not the one you think I am” You explained moving your hands down to her waist pulling her closer. “I’m a Hyde on my mother’s side, But not the Hyde that Tyler is, our abilities have been diluted over generations due to other outcasts we’ve fallen in love with. Ranging from Werewolves, to Sirens, and Elementals. My mother was a water Hyde on her mothers side and a shape shifter on her fathers side. So my mother could control water and shift into a kraken-hyde hybrid. I inherited my great grandfather’s Fire Hyde and my father’s werewolf abilities, so along with control fire, I can shift into a hellhyde. My family of Hyde’s we can control our abilities and have no masters. Tyler is an entire different case, I'm assuming he comes from a bloodline of pure Hydes” You explained to her.

“I apologize for making assumptions about you and Xavier” She said.

“You’re lucky I like you” You playfully glare at her.

“I like you too”

“Obviously not because you kissed Tyler” You turned your back pettily enjoying the banter of her needing you.

“Y/n, please. Tyler’s the Hyde and I need your help, we can prove both yours and Xavier’s innocence” She said. You sigh heavily looking down at your clothes.

“Fine, but I need a new wardrobe, mines kind of,” You pulled the back of your shirt showing her the burn pieces along with the sleeves and top of your jeans.

“I can sneak you into the school” She said.

As promised her and Bianca and snuck you into Bianca’s dorm where Ajax had your clothes neatly folded on her bed. Yoko, Divina and Kent sat on Divina’s bed Enid sitting on Bianca's. You quickly got changed in front of them before sitting in Bianca’s bed with her and Enid at your sides.

“What’s the plan?” You asked.

xxx

You had a small flame at Tyler’s feet causing him to wake up in a panic. Once he calmed down and he got a look around he came face to face with Wednesday who had Yoko, Kent, and Divna right behind him. Ajax was leaning against a work table and Bianca stood next to Tyler while you sat on the floor in front of him slightly leaning back against Wednesday.

“Welcome back” Wednesday glared at him with a hand on your shoulder.

“Where the hell am I?” Tyler asked tugging on the chains.

“Somewhere where no one can hear your screams”

“What’s with the chains?”

“Don’t ask stupid questions” Wednesday raised her head at him.

“Wednesday this is crazy I’m a normie” Tyler tells her.

“That’s only half true” You said getting up grabbing a picture off the table next to you handing it to Wednesday. She grabs the picture holding it up to Tyler pointing at the woman on the far right of the photograph.

“Do you recognize her?” Wednesday asked. “Perhaps if I hadn’t been so distracted by my own mother hogging this photo I would have noticed yours” She stated, “Your father fell in love and married an outcast”

“Fine, my mom was an outcast, that doesn’t make me a monster” Tyler argues.

“According to her personal medical records-” Wednesday said as you handed her the file.

“You stole her medical records?”

“Technically Thing did, he took them from your garage, your father’s quite the pack rat” Wednesday said opening the folder. “Her postpartum depression triggered her condition”

“My mom had severe bipolar disorder”

“We both know that’s a lie, she was a Hyde” Wednesday spits. “And your father has been living his life in dread, never quite sure whether or not she passed her condition on to you”

“Are you all gonna stand there and let her do this to me?” Tyler asked in panic.

“I’m a wanted convict and my best friend is rotting in jail right now because of you” You spat at him holding a flame up to his face.

“Uh guys, Enid just texted, Thornhill’s suspicious” Ajax said. Wednesday grabbed your wrist causing the flame to go away as she held your hand. “How long until he morphs into that… thing?” Ajax asks.

“I’m not the monster” Tyler said his voice quivering. You lose your senses for a moment almost feeling bad for the kid.

“Wen, maybe he doesn’t know. Didn’t that Faulkner die trying to figure out if Hyde’s knew of their actions or not when they transformed” You hesitated looking over at her.

“He is, I saw it in a vision at the Weathervane” Wednesday let go of your hand taking out a kit filled with tools.

“Wait You’re basing all this off some vision you had after we kissed?” Everyone took notice of how you tensed up when he mentioned the kiss your hands and arms turning red. “Is that something you can trust?”

“I changed my mind, let’s kill him” You said holding flame next to his face making him scream. Bianca grabbed your wrist as she looked over at Wednesday who pulled out a saw.

“Wednesday what are you doing?” Bianca said shoving your wrist away while Ajax pulled you away from Tyler trying to calm you down.

“Just some light torture, don’t let Y/n try anything, I don’t want to leave a mark” Wednesday said pulling out more tools.

“Wednesday hold on” Bianca tried to reason.

“Wait are you being serious?” Ajax asked causing Wednesday to pivot and face him.

“There’s only one thing that a Hyde understands,” She slams down the tool she has pulling a taser from her back pocket, “Pain” she stated tasing the side of Tyler’s neck.

“Wait no Wednesday” Everyone yells.

“Wednesday!” Bianca yelled pulling Wednesday’s arm way from Tyler’s neck.

“That’s it, I’m out” Yoko states before walking out.

“Us too” Divina says leaving with Kent.

“No” Ajax starts to back up”

“Wait” Bianca begs.

“No, I’m done” Ajax raised his arms letting go of you as he leaves.

“Wednesday, I didn’t sign up for this, let’s go to Weems, explain everything” Bianca says.

“Weems won’t help, and Tyler is always one step ahead of his father” Wednesday said pulling out another taser.

“Then You’re on your own” She says before looking back at you.

“I’m already a wanted criminal, I have nothing else to lose” You said. Bianca nods before leaving

“No, don’t leave me here with them, please! I’m begging you please!” Tyler begs as he starts breathing heavily.

You sat back anger building up as Wednesday tried torture methods and didn’t leave marks trying to get Tyler to turn or at least admit he was a Hyde.

“What is Kinbott, or should I say Laurel Gates, using in you for?” Wednesday asked.

“You sure it’s the therapist? I mean,” You shrugged getting off the workbench you sat on. “She’s dead babe” You gesture to Xavier’s painting.

“She’s a therapist and she’s been seeing him. She’s the only one that makes sense as to the person to unlocking Tyler’s Hyde abilities” Wednesday said.

“Okay sorry love, be my guest” You leaned back against the bench smirking at light blush forming on Wednesday’s face due to the nickname.

“Tyler, the body parts in the basement of the Gates mansion, what was she collection them for?” Wednesday asks.

“I don’t understand why are you doing this?” Tyler asked. Sirens start to go off making you panic as Wednesday grabs a mallet.

“Wens” You start to say as you see the lights of the car.

“Let’s test your reflexes” She threatened.

“I’m in here!” Tyler yells.

“Get away from my son! Drop it!” Sheriff Galpin yells helping a gun up to Wednesday. “I have the Fire Hyde!” Galpin yells.

“Y/n run” Wednesday says. Before you could set your arms ablaze another officer came behind Galpin holding a fire extinguisher up to you. You made a run for the back door where another officer had a gun up to you.

Wednesday attempts to throw the mallet at the officer allowing you to run only for the Sheriff to shoot your shoulder and the other officer to spray you down just as you started to ignite making Tyler scream at the close proximity.

“Fuck” You sigh heavily as you dropped to your knees.

You sat in the cell with Xavier. You wore fireproof gloves that had you chained against the wall. Xavier walked around grunting where the chain against his waist prevented him from walking farther.

“Xavier, Y/n, I’m not sure how much time we have, Thing distracted them guards and is looping the cameras” Wednesday said.

“Wens, what are you doing here?” You asked getting up going toward the bars. Grunting in pain as your arms got pulled back.

“How’s your shoulder?” Wednesday asked.

“They took out the bullet and patched me up but not doing so hot” You explained gesturing towards your fireproof clothes. Wednesday nods turning her attention to Xavier.

“I know you’re not the Hyde, Tyler used me to frame you, he’s the actual Hyde” Wednesday said.

“Yeah we’ll Y/n filled me in on that part, I’m glad you were getting some action while we were falsely accused” Xavier said pettily.

“I should’ve believed you, But since you seem to have some sort of psychic connection to the Hyde I was curious if you’ve drawn anything recently that might shed some light on this” Wednesday said.

“You want my help?” Xavier cuts her off. He dryly chuckled leaning forward “You ruined my life” Xavier tells her. “No, I tried being your friend, look where that got me” Xavier says, “Y/n caught feels for you and even after you framed us, they tried helping you and look where that got them” Xavier points to you as you lay down on the the bed an arm covering your face.

“This isn’t about us, Xavier-”

“No it’s about you! Every-time you get involved people get hurt, you’re toxic. All you ever do is make things worse” Xavier yells at her. Wednesday got quiet before pulling out a taped up painting.

“Tyler warned me something bad was coming. I think-“

“No you’ve already shown me that- I don’t care” Xavier says. “If you want to stop this, then leave” He says. “Go far away and never come back, do you understand? That can’t happen if you’re not here, that’s how you save everyone, okay?”

“Everyone but us” you said dryly sitting up on the bed.

Xavier yells at Wednesday to leave one more time before she actually goes.

“Wens” You called out stopping her at the door.

“Tell Thing I’ll miss ‘em” You said. Wednesday knew what you meant by that. She gives you a ghost of a smile before leaving.

“Why?” Xavier asks.

“She tried to save me, I know Wednesday can be pretty cold hearted but she grew up not knowing better. She’s the black sheep in a family of black sheep. I think Nevermore gave her a bit of a heart though, she apologized” You explained.

“I don’t know what you see in her” Xavier shook his head sitting down next to you.

“Didn’t you have a crush on her- her first week here?” You retaliate.

“Anyways where were we?” Xavier quickly changed the topic going back to your rock, paper, scissors war.

Sheriff Galpin came to collect the two of you to transfer you guys to the court house jail cells.

"You got them Sheriff?" One of the officers asked as he shoved you into the car.

"Yeah, I got the fire hydrant in the front" Galpin says. You scoff rolling your eyes as the doors shut and Galpin starts driving. You and Xavier struggle against the cuffs chaining you to the cage separating you from the Sheriff.

Not too long into the drive Galpin's phone starts going off causing him to tell you and Xay to shut up. "Santiago what's up" He says.

"Sir, we got a situation, Eugene Ottinger's mom just called, frantic. Something's going on at Nevermore" She says over the phone.

"Get a couple of cars over there ASAP"

"That's just it I can't, the tires on the squad cars have been slashed, every damn one" Santiago says

"Alright I'm on the way" Galpin says, turning on the sirens and drifting the car causing you and Xavier to crash into each other.

"Warning would've been nice Sheriff" You grunted shoving Xay off you. "I think I'm getting motion sickness" You press your head against the metal cage and Galpin starts driving into the woods behind Nevermore before parking the car.

"Why're we stopping in the middle of the woods?" Xavier asked as you both look over at his phone.

"You tracking your little monster?" You ask.

"You two shut it" The Sheriff says as he gets out the car.

"Hey wait- wait wait, what about us!?" Xavier yells as the car door closes.

"Oh you asshole" You glare at the Sheriff as he runs into the woods. Both you and Tyler struggle against the cuffs before he yells in frustration. You hear thumping and pattering on the roof of the car before looking at the back window.

"Thing I love you!" You smile as the hand lets you two out of the car. He unlocks you first allowing you to take off the gloves and melt off Xavier's chains. You both scramble out of the car where Thing gestures to the bag on the roof of the car. You and Xavier split the clothes in bag. There was a third set of clothes in there making you look down at Thing before nodding.

"You head to the school, I'm gonna go after Tyler" You said slipping the shirt over your head.

"What are you gonna do?" Xavier asked.

"Something I haven't done in a long time" You said glancing up at the blood moon. "I'm gonna hyde out"

The gunshot is what caught your attention. You followed it seeing Tyler in his Hyde form.

"Tyler son, is that really you?" Galpin asked. Tyler roars as he targets his own father.

"Sheriff run!" You yell dropping the bag. The Sheriff watches as you run past him jumping at Tyler your body quickly catching fire as you grew three sizes tackling Tyler with ease. Galpin watched as you had the Hyde pinned down with your claws. Your form mimicked one of a hellhound only with more Hyde like features, you walked on all fours but had the same buggy eyes and claws like Tyler with the absence of a tail.

Tyler kicked you off at him making you scream as you land on your bad shoulder, but the moment he got up he got knocked down by a blonde werewolf with pink and blue highlights. You chuckle recognizing the Enid had finally wolfed out.

Before the Sheriff could get any closer you breathed a ring of fire around the three of you preventing Tyler from getting out. You barked once catching Enid's attention She stood next to you the two of you allowing Tyler a moment to get up. He slowly did as the two of you to circle him. Tyler took a moment to process the situation before deciding to attack Enid first. You quickly got on his back your claws digging and burning prints onto his shoulders and hips as you bit into his shoulder causing him to roar and let go of Enid. You leaned back tossing him into the air as Enid tackled him into the ground again. You grabbed him by his legs tossing him once more Enid kicking him out of the ring of fire into a tree causing it to break in half as he finally laid on the ground in defeat slowly shifting out of his Hyde form.

Nodding in satisfaction you ran your claw across the ring of fire taking it out as Enid slowly turned back into herself. Thing came helping her ease herself as you caught sight of her pink jacket grabbing it in your mouth and taking it to her.

"Y/n?" She asked taking the jacket covering herself up. You nodded your head lying on the ground next to her.

"Good to see you wolfed out too, in whatever this weird form it" She smiles petting your snout. You grab the bag of clothes you had dropped handing it to her. She nodded her head before you ran off towards the school. You mounted the walls jumping from rooftop to rooftop before making it to the quad.

You found Crackstone pinning Wednesday against a wooden panel.

"I will send you back to hell" He says. You screech catching his attention before jumping off the rooftop tackling him to the ground. You have him pinned until he uses his magic staff to send you flying into the burning fountain. You whimper in pain as a tree branch stabs itself deeper into your injured shoulder.

You watch as Bianca walks up to him from behind and before he can lay his hands on Wednesday again she stabs a metal rod through his chest. He shoves her away with his staff causing you to get up and before you could do anything Wednesday stabs the sharp end of a broken sword into his heart. You watch as she shoves him away and from the wound he starts to disappear in a haze of black smoke.

To make the process faster and ease your anger issues and appetite though, Wednesday and Bianca watch as your swallow the vengeful spirit in a few bites. When you burp up his ring a powerful wave causes all the fire to disappear. Wednesday and Bianca watch as you spit out some ashes and cinder. Looking down at the ring the two girls nod at each other realizing the job was done. Wednesday comes to your side careful of the flames coming from you as she pets your head just as you hear a gun cock.

"You brought a gun to a sword fight, probably the first smart decision you've made today" Wednesday says.

"I might not get to kill all the outcasts, but at least I'll get to kill you, Wednesday" You limp in front of Wednesday protectively ready to take a bullet from her until you see a bee land on top of Thornhill's gun. More and more bees start to come making Thornhill shoot at them. The three of you to slowly back away and look around in confusion. Wednesday watches as you sniff the air before looking back and seeing Eugene his arms out controlling the bees attacking the woman.

"Yeah that's what you get for messing with Nevermore. Bitch" Eugene says before looking at Wednesday who was staring at him in shock. "Hummers stick together, right?" Wednesday lets out the smallest of smiles before glaring back at Thornhill.

"I'll take it from here" She says with a murderous look.

"Maybe we should call the Sheriff" Eugene suggested.

"Turn around Eugene" Wednesday says. You grab Bianca by her hoodie pulling her next to Eugene making both of them turn around as you all face away from Wednesday.

"No witnesses, I get it" Bianca says.

"Y/n, is that you?" Eugene asked looking up at you. You nod your head at him before hacking up to more ash and cinder.

"You just had to eat him" Bianca scolds. You cackle was answer enough that you didn't regret it, the hour long heartburn and indigestion was worth it.

"They ate someone? Isn't that cannibalism?" Eugene asked. Both you and Bianca shrug as the three of you turn around after Wednesday had joined you.

"Lets go" She states before walking away.

The three of you join the mass of students that Bianca and the other sirens had led out of the school. Enid watches the three silhouettes of people followed by your hellhyde form. Enid runs towards wednesday quickly followed by Xavier, Yoko, Divina, Kent, and Ajax then the rest of the students.

Enid doesn't hesitate to embrace Wednesday who quickly pushes her off before taking a moment and hugging the blonde werewolf bundled up in her pink jacket. You smile sitting on the ground Xavier walking up to you as the Sirens walk up to Bianca.

"You did good" Xavier smiles patting your back.

"She ate a man" Eugene said in fright.

"I'm not surprised" Xavier says causing Enid to laugh as her and Wednesday pull away. Ajax and Yoko join the group the boy handing you the bag of clothes. The group block you as you shift out of your form quickly putting on the pants and hoodie in the bag grunting in pain at your injured shoulder.

"Y/n-" Before Wednesday could say anything you pulled her into you crashing your lips into hers. The others watch in shock as she reciprocates the act of affection one arm going to your waist the other to the back of your neck.

"Never again, am I letting you go out of my sight, you fucking troublemaker" You say pressing your forehead against hers. Wednesday smiles at you leaning back.

"I'm okay with that" She says. The group backs away when you start coughing up more ash and cinder and this time a buckle coming with it.

"Was it worth it at least?" Xavier asked.

"Totally"

xxx

You and Xavier leaned against the railing watching as Wednesday makes her way up to the two of you. You wrap an arm around her, the injured one in a sling, as she looks up at Xavier.

"I hear you're a free man now" She says.

"Yup, all charges dismissed" Xavier smiles.

"Kind of hard to keep us locked up when the Sheriff watched his own son shift out of his Hyde form and Enid and I saved his ass from said son" You smile squeezing the girl under your arm.

Xavier pulls a box out of the pocket of his coat Wednesday's eyes glancing from it then back up to Xay.

"Listen, when I was in the cell, I said a lot of... things" Xavier starts.

"Being your friend should come with a warning label" You add making Wednesday look up at you.

"But I don't know a lot of people who would help my best friend run from the cops much less take an arrow for me. So..." Xavier hands Wednesday the gift.

"Welcome to the 21st century Addams" Xavier and you say in unison as you let go of Wednesday standing next to him. She opens the box revealing the Iphone inside.

"Our numbers are in there already" You said.

"That's a bold move," She says looking up at you both. "I hope you're not expecting me to call you" She says.

"No, never," Xavier chuckles "I'd settle for a text though" he says before looking over at you, Wednesday's gaze following.

"If you don't answer my facetime calls I'll eat your entire family, starting with Thing" You smile. The look Wednesday gives caused you and Xavier to look at eachother "You know what texting and facetiming are right?" You tease causing her to glare at you both playfully.

"Goodbye Xavier, Y/n come" Wednesday said as she leaves. You smile goofily waving to your best friend as you follow her.

"Hey are you going to be back next semester?" Xavier asked. Wednesday didn't answer causing you and Xavier to share a look as you shrug. "Yes- no- maybe?"

"I'll make sure of it" You call out making him laugh as you followed the girl outside where Enid and Bianca were waiting. You help her set up Enid and Bianca's contact in her phone the two girls promising to send her the contacts of the rest of the friend group before walking her to her car.

"I talked to my old man, I'm gonna head over to Xavier's for a few weeks but once you send me the address I have full permission to come see you" You said.

"If you don't I'll hunt you down" Wednesday said as Lurch got out of the car opening the door for her.

"I don't doubt it, my evil queen" You smile.

"Thank you, for everything" Wednesday avoid eye contact with you making you chuckle putting a hand to her cheek making her look at you.

"I'll see you in a few weeks my love" You smile cheekily. Wednesday glances up at Lurch who it very clearly looking away. She quickly pecks your lips before backing away from you.

"I'll see you then, pet" She as a smirk as she says that.

"I'll wear that nickname with pride you beautiful walking zombie" You chuckle watching as she climbs into the car Lurch closing the door. The tall undead man looks down at you giving you a nod of approval before getting into the car and driving off. You glance down at your phone seeing you already had a message from Wednesday.

Evil Queen: I know how to text

Wednesday cant help the smile as she watches you from the rearview mirror, fist pump the air and showing Enid the text before replying.

Pet: I miss you already 🖤

Evil Queen: I miss you too 🖤

[broken-everlark]

Welp my dumbass decided to make Wednesday pokemon trainer cards instead of updating my WIPs. Which I'm going to do after I post this🤣

I'm not fully happy about Tyler, eugene, and the xaviers teams. Those may change.

Almost everyone always gets a legendary/mythical.

I know literally no one will read this or care. But I figured I could post it anyway.

I gave her Skorupi because of Nero, so he's her partner.

Gliscor because he's just a beast of a mon and reminds me of a scorpion/bat that fits Wednesday's dark theme. Tyler had given this to her as a present. On their first anniversary, it immediately became a favorite.

Corviknight because Wednesday is referred to as the Raven, and he just seems like the most raven mon (even though he's a crow). Wednesday found this pokemon back when it was a Rookiedee. It had fallen out of its nest. Instead of feeding it to her mother's Pyroar, she kept it.

Hydreigon because he's just a dark dragon, and I feel like he fits Wednesday's style. Wednesday had found him as a deino, the poor blind Dino had injured himself. She decided to take him in and raise him to become a terrifying dragon.

Dusknoir because he's a big scary ghost that eats souls in his chest. Out of all the ghost types, i feel like this one fits Wednesday the most. This mon snuck up on Wednesday and followed her throughout a haunted graveyard, not giving up until she caught him.

It was between Giratina (the underworld/antimatter legend) or Yveltal. Her legend I chose is Yveltal, He's the legendary of Death, basically destroying everything in sight.

(I feel bad for doing this to Tyler)

His partner - Cubone - because they both lost their moms. Cubone wears his mothers dead skull on his head. Tyler's mother had given this to him just before she passed.

(Might replace.) Bewear - literally because Tyler is sweet & adorable on the outside, but on the inside, he's hiding a dangerous monster, just like bewear.

Mimikyu - because the creature inside the suit just wants to be loved, just like Tyler. So he hides behind a suit made up of a beloved pokemon. But everytime it's trainer looks underneath the suit, they die.

Scovillian - because it's a funny play on Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Two faces, two different personalities.

Garchomp - Because this mon is anger filled and very hard to tame also very powerful. Kinda reminds me of the hyde.

His legend is Mewtwo. A legend made by humans and hates humanity. Reminds me of Tyler's tragic past, hating others who don't understand what he's been through.

Her partner is a shiny Spheal - Honestly, I just feel like Enid would love every single pokemon that's adorable.

Shiny) Politoad because he's just a very happy frog, and I feel like it matches. It Enids a very bubbly personality.

Arcanine - i feel like even though it's a big scary dog, she loves it because it's Fluffy and loyal. Just like Enid.

Lycanroc (Day form) just a little nod to her wolf form.

Dragonair - Honestly, it's just a beautiful mid evo that I feel like Enid would love

And her legend is Mew. It's just a cute, sweet cat that has all the DNA of each pokemon. Something I think Enid would take care of and love.

So Ajax's starter is Ivysaur - because the bulbasaur line is famous for smoking grass

Ekans because of Ajax being a Gorgon and his little snakes poke their heads out sometimes.

Slowbro because it seems like a good pokemon to get high with.

Hisuian Typhlosion because he just looks like a depressed cool boy like my baby Ajax.

Noivern - because I just see Ajax being the chill guy at parties and noiverns ears remind me of speakers.

His legend is a shiny Rayquaza just because he's a giant space snek noodle🤣

Eugene's starter is a shiny caterpie, figured he'd just be a bug type trainee.

Beedrill - because of his powers to control bees.

Heracross- same as the caterpie. Just figured he'd have a bug army.

Dewpider because he's just an adorable bean like Eugene.

Appletun because I just feel like he'd love chunky pokemon. Because chunky pokemon are the best.

wobbuffet because its a psychic pokemon and it's insane ability to use counter and I feel like Eugene would need a happy mon to keep him company.

Yes Eugene doesn't get a legend. Just couldn't find one that fit.

Her partner being Primarina - has to do with her being a siren outcast. Her partner looks like a mermaid and sings like sirens and mermaids are known for.

Being the popular girl at school, I'd imagine she'd have tons of beautiful pokemon. A florges. Being a bouquet of flowers fits that perfectly

Again, Hatterene fits the popular girl status perfectly. Another beautiful fairy type to add to Bianca's team

Bianca would also have a shiny Altaria, it being her pride since it's a rare golden color.

Beautifly - a rare evolution of Wurmple, being very beautiful & every time it flaps its wings, sparkly pollen falls with each flap.

I chose Meloetta fighting form for her mythical pokemon. It has unique singing abilities, and being strong but beautiful would fit Bianca perfectly.

Xavier surprisingly got a card. I didn't want to download a picture of him into my phone so he gets no picture.

He gets a shiny muk as his partner. Because he looks like throw up. Just like how I feel about Xaviers character.

He gets an Exeggutor because it's derpy in a stupid way🤣

Grafaiai because he's an artist.

Garbordor - because it's a pokemon made of trash.

Xavier does get a legend. But it's the worst one. He gets regice because it's a trash legend.🤣

[melon4brian]

Don't mind me just experimenting with Human Hyde's expressions and facial structures a bit, I'm really leaning onto that last one tho! He be looking like an ugly, sad, old dog

[orchid-arts1]

lol art block’s killing me but I finished a wip

[thecustomwenclair]

OKAY SO IM NKT DONE WITH WEDNESDAY YET IM ON EPISODE 7 (and I should probably finish the series before I post this but whatever)

SO SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW!! LIKE SERIOUSLY

SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!!

Okay I am so like- surprised??? First off with Fester and he has electricity powers?? Like that's awesome. BUT YHEN THING

OH MY HOS THING ALMOST DIES AND WEDNESDAY IS ALMOST CRYING? LIKE SHE LEGIT SHEDS A TEAR?? I LEGIT HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN (/pos) IN MY KITCHEN BECAUSE OF IT?

ALSO THE WAY SHE CURLS UP AFTER ENID IS LIKE; im moving in with Yoko bye lol AND SHES SO?? SAD??

And finally.. THE HELL TYLER MIGHT BE THE MONSTER? ALSO WHEN I TELL UOU I SCREECHED AT SEEING WILLA AND TYLER KISS- his actor is literally gay why would they do that to him 😭😭

But Wends havint a vision?? While she's kissing him? Imagine that but wenclair.. not the whole "Oh Enid's the monster" but like just seeing them in the future and it's actually more like a Dove vision

Like now I'm just imagining in a wenclair version/au where Enid and Wednesday are gfs and are happy together Wednesday's visions turn more into Dove like visions- like, she still has her Raven visions, but every now and then (usually around Enid) she gets a Dove vision and I'm just rambling by now

BAXK TO TYLER MAYBE BEING YHE HYDE (also what's up with movies recently having a whole Hyde/Jekyll thing?) LIKE I AM SIMPLY FLABBERGASTED? also man people really do die around Wednesday a lot/ don't stick around :(

Also when Eugene got attacked I thought he died and I was just sitting there with my hand over my mouth and I was so damn surprised. And then Willa visiting him in the hospital :((( and giving him honey and telling him abt her birthday things is just UGHHH I WANT THEIR FRIENDSHIP ITS SO SWEET LIKE THEM ARE SO >>>> /p

Anyways that's it I'm done rambling I'm gonna finish episode 8 and probably ramble anymore and I'm so sad they put Wends in a love triangle instead of wenclair but it's still a great show tbh I'm rlly not just gonna stop watching bc there's no wenclair

[felix-zarenium]

As many on this hellsite who have read Jekyll and Hyde have pointed out, i do not know what to expect from Tumblr’s interpretation of this text, though i guess that’s the new horror now that “rich man dresses poorly” is no longer scandalous.

Because the thing is, the fear that made J&H what it is is steeped in Victorian homophobia, elitism, eugenics, addiction, mental illness and so so much more. And even though the story is very good, I’m all too afraid of what hot take Tumblr shall make of it.

(Look up the Double Brain theory for shits and giggles and maybe insight)

Happiness is a Full Bookshelf 😊📚

My goal is to collect every Penguin Classic that has a black spine and cover, white title, and orange author name because they’re sooo aesthetically pleasing to me. My fun challenge of collecting/amassing them is by finding them exclusively through secondhand purchases (resale shops, ebay, garage sales, used bookstores, etc.) Then I only have to shell out $0-$7 each instead of $10-$30 each!
