💞 Ships Week Is Coming 💞
What’s that, you ask? Next week, we'll be publishing a list of Tumblr’s top 100 ships.
Starting Monday, we'll drop the list in daily sections of 20 before the full reveal of the top 20 ships on Friday.
✨ What were your top 3 ships of the last year? ✨
Let us know in the comments & follow along on @tumblr for your daily dose of ships...will your OTP make the cut?
GO AND VOTE FOR OUR BELOVED SHIP!
Watching "The Corpse Bride" for the first time and witnessing the accidental marriage between Victor and Emily reminded me of Enid saving Wednesday. Both Emily and Wednesday were buried by their supposed love interests under a tree. Both Enid and Victor went and found them, giving them life. This is... a funny coincidence.
I've been watching Cold Case for the first time and it's baffling to me that a show from 2003 would be more inclusive and respectful than one written in 2025, where outcasts should be the main characters.
After Isaac's most recent interview (and I'm not against him or his opinion, it's just something that made me realise this), I feel like there's another technicality that might be ignored in the attempt of elevating a character at all costs.
I'm taking Tyler here as an example, because it was the subject of the infamous question and it's a good way to convey what I'm trying to say.
At best, Tyler is a controversial character, mostly shown as both a victim and a killer.
Now, no matter our personal tastes and opinions, making everyone feel either hate or sympathy towards him would make him extremely flat and boring.
Of course, this hasn't happened yet, the polarisation, but the risk, given the writers the show has, is very concrete.
What we've been shown until now is a mix of different opinions about his character from other characters that were either his abusers, his victims and the latter's relatives.
Again though... to make what they have in mind work they have two option:
1) Make everyone change their attitude towards him to complete sympathy, turning him into an unappealing character;
2) Be bold/insane and cause major rifts between characters (example: Wednesday forgives him and befriends/dates him, while Enid keeps being resentful, making the two separate).
The third option, a mixture of both, would make the inconsistencies in the show even worse than the current ones.
Again, this is not against Tyler. It's against lazy writing.
Let's take Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, ok?
Everyone sees Erik differently and characters themselves change their opinion throughout the story.
Erik, just like Tyler, is a victim and a villain. Neither view wins by the end of the book and I distinctly remember crying like a baby at the end, even though I had hated him for his cruel actions.
Christine is both horrified and sad for him.
Daroga is scared and yet compassionate towards him
Raoul will probably hate him for the rest of his life.
Erik is the main character of a masterpiece exactly because of this multifaceted perception we're given.
By the way, I feel robbed.
Francoise calling Wednesday her "Angel" made me believe, for once, that something meaningful was about to happen.
Like, I'm a sucker for potentially dangerous characters calling the genuinely good character "Angel": it happens in The Phantom of the Opera with Erik and Christine and it happens in Detective Conan, with Vermouth addressing Ran like that.
And yet, first time Francoise sees Wednesday again, after being set free by her, she attacks her.

For anyone seeing this who's new to tumblr...when you come across an absolute masterpiece on this site, you reblog it just like I've done here. 👍🏽
WEDNESDAY SPOILERS
So, I've noticed what could be either another plot hole or something actually interesting (it's probably the former, who am I kidding?). I apologise in advance for my English: I'm not a native speaker.
So, in season 1, Nathaniel Faulkner's book revealed to Wednesday that Hydes can be unlocked with a traumatic event involving hypnosis or a chemical substance.
At first, Wednesday had accused Kinbott of being Tyler's master, because she knew how to use hypnosis. She later found out that his master was actually Thornhill and that she had prepared a plant-based potion to subdue him (Wednesday was about to do the same).
Tyler, in his own confession, had admitted to having been confused at first with what was happening to him but that he had started enjoying killing his victims, willingly submitting to Thornhill.
Fast forward to part 2 of season 2: Tyler finds his mother again, but she chains him to the bed, because he's potentially dangerous. He then asks her whether she's his new master and she nods and makes an affirmative sound.
The first question that came to my mind was the following one: how did Tyler's mom subdue him?
She didn't seem an expert of hypnosis and she didn't have the means of creating the said chemical compound. She didn't steal Wednesday's either, since it's clearly visible besides her while they're running away. So, we've got no luck in finding an answer here.
Third hypothesis: Francoise is a female Hyde, who are, in nature, more dominant than male ones, who are more needy. Even if it wasn't listed in the book, could a mother Hyde get the control of her son? Sounds plausible, since he asks for her permission to kill Wednesday.
But the plot hole starts immediately, in the very middle of that conversation between him and his mother: he verbally attacks Francoise, who's in theory his master already, and she slaps him to shut him up.
Some fans have pointed out that Tyler, poor innocent soul, can't have any control over himself, 'cause he's always got a master. Then why did Francoise need to use force against her son to calm him down?
But I'll give you that she isn't in her right mind, because every transformation, as stated by herself, takes a piece of a Hyde's humanity (an accurate reference to Jekyll and Hyde), so, maybe, her motherly instincts got lost in the pression she's under and in her transformations and that makes her be abusive towards him instead of simply commanding him.
But then again... could it be that she tries to placate him by telling him that she is his master, when that's not the case, hoping he will believe her for the time she needs to take away the Hyde from him?
The plot hole gets bigger in episode 6: if her natural condition of being a dominant Hyde is what allows her to be his new master, then what would have happened if Francoise had lost her powers in that episode? Again, Thornhill was a normie too, but she had tied him to her with something tangible. Here we're left with speculations.
The hole becomes an abyss in episode 8: Francoise sacrifices herself and the only chance she has of saving her life to grant that opportunity to Tyler. Maybe I'm being too nosy about this, but, since she's his master, I expected her to order Tyler to lie down to get ready. But she doesn't. She begs Isaac to force Tyler on the operation table and he does it by using his own powers. Worse than that... Tyler ends up fighting his supposed master again. With Thornhill, it's plausible that Fairburn's theory of keeping them distant had worked in severing their sick bond and making him rebel, but what's the excuse with his mother?
I wouldn't be surprised, giving the writing quality of this show, if they hadn't thought about it.
But there's another theory that starts by going back to episode 8 of season 1: Wednesday states (and nobody denies it) that there's a willingness behind the Hyde's submission. Tyler's serial homicides started out with him being confused and scared and end with him liking what he was doing. Wednesday said out loud that he willingly followed Thornhill's plan. But the confines of his free will aren't clearly defined: in episode 4 of season 2, he almost breaks Thornhill's neck and she pleads him to let her go; instead of instantly realising her to show us the signs of her power over him, he thinks about it and then throws her against the wall, just to kill her later on in a twisted game of chase. Therefore, could it be possible that Tyler isn't the innocent angel someone's depicting? Could it be that there's a real desire in him to kill and hurt? Again, we haven't had our answer yet, because season 2 hasn't given us any.
If we think of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the answer would be yes. The former had willingly chosen to go down his dark path: he had the reputation of being a good person, but he had also always wanted to see what it would've been like to give in to his darkest and most twisted instincts. So, he tried living both sides of his personality by creating himself a sort of shield for his apparently "good" part: Hyde. In the end, his evil self was stronger than the good one and his humanity started giving in under Hyde's wickedness, barely able to resist the call of the monster inside of himself and, before he could completely succumb to it and face justice for what he had done, he killed himself and confessed.
Hello Wednesday fans!
So, here's a message for all of us (no matter your favourite ship or character): if you think that the writing of the show is awful, then this post is for you.
We're using on X and other platforms the hashtag #goughmilesout, hoping that Netflix will notice and do something about it.
Everyone's welcome to use it. Be respectful though, please.
In Italy, it's already trending.
WHY WE (AND NETFLIX) NEED WENCLAIR TO HAPPEN - A SHORT ESSAY
Note: english isn't my first language. It May not be the smoothest reading, apologies.
Wednesday Season 2 Part 2 is finally out. Between far-fetched storylines, inconsistent writing and intermittent mischaracterization, the new season of the popular show has been getting mixed reviews.
But there’s a much more pressing matter at stake, at least for two specific groups of the fandom. During recent interviews, the two writers of the series, Gough and Millar, made some statements regarding the romantic possibilities for Wednesday’s character, hinting they would like to see her have her endgame with Tyler Galpin, and almost dismissing the other option: Wednesday and Enid.
The statements sparked immediate controversy and started a fight on social media between the two factions, those who favor the development of a love story with one potential partner over the other and vice versa (Respectively “Weylers” and “Wenclairs”).
The ship between Wednesday and her roommate has gained huge popularity ever since the show aired, and the number of hidden meanings, signals and dialogues pointing in this direction has been thoroughly analyzed by a number of dedicated fans.
What makes the situation severe, however, is how Netflix integrated Wenclair content and expressed support for the ship in more than one instance on their public channels. Promotion made fans hopeful to see this couple become canonical for the past couple of years, only to be met with an abrupt U-turn in the platform’s marketing strategy as the release of the new season approached. It is undeniable that season 2 is largely focused on Tyler Galpin’s character, and the promotion of the series followed the same trend.
Wenclair fans felt betrayed as the shadow of queerbaiting came into the equation once again. A marketing malpractice Netflix is nowadays infamous for.
It should be their responsibility to be accountable for their own marketing, unless they want to be guilty of queerbaiting…again. It’s not hard to find evidence scattered across the internet: Netflix has clearly taken advantage of the ship's popularity to keep interest alive while season 2 was in the making, only to switch to a blatant glorification of Tyler and the Hyde as soon as the release approached.
But, even more importantly, Netflix should be careful whether to tread on the dangerous path of bringing to the small screen what is clearly a love story forced by every means.
Not only Tyler and Wednesday as a couple make little sense plot wise (do we need to count how many times he tried to kill her, her friends, and her family?), but they’d also send the message that one should love someone who hurt them and their close ones without hesitation.
The world has no need for a celebration of enabling. Especially not from The Addams Family.
This choice would show little respect and understanding of the very core of this beloved franchise. To the Addams family is everything, and the whole point of their story is that, in being as odd and weird as they are, but also daring to be different from society’s standards, they actually embody what may be the healthiest dynamics we’ve ever seen. Because, flying knives, torture and dark humour…those are meant for the laughs. But, their genuine love for each other, the will to protect their loved ones, their unshakable union whilst allowing and enhancing each one’s uniqueness…these are no joke. At all.
Can a creature of vengeance with a black, yet beating heart such as Wednesday Addams really fall in love with someone who caused so much pain and havoc to her family and friends? Can such a dedicated detective, who hunts down serial killers over the summer vacation and strives for justice, really forgive him? It’s hard not to see this as a forced love story. Wednesday herself states that she was attracted to Tyler. But that’s before she found out he’s a cold-blooded murderer.
And while Tyler’s and Wednesday’s relationship seem to degenerate into mutual hate with each passing episode, their ship faces a formidable enemy, with Wenclair gaining the upper hand even if the writers try to do and to say otherwise. With facts.
Wednesday’s and Enid’s relationship develops over time, surviving conflict and confrontation, danger after danger, and the undeniable chemistry between the two talented actresses who portray the characters donates a spark and a tension that can never be seen in any other moment of the show. They’re not just best friends at this point, they’re pack. They are soul mates. While this doesn’t have to take a romantic direction at every cost, it would undeniably feel just right, especially when compared to Weyler. It would appear natural and realistic. They are teens, growing up and finding out who they are, and what they like.
Exploring a romantic turn of events between the two protagonists in the next season would make their progression a wonderful tale of coming of age, but also give to the lgbtq+ community genuine, realistic and quality representation, delivering what could be the most powerful positive message in Netflix’s history, providing further development and weight to the already meaningful Outcasts metaphor.
In a world of forced inclusivity, queerbaiting and axed queer shows (Warrior Nun anyone?) putting a sapphic couple with such a strong core at the center of the stage would be the bold move audiences across the spectrum need to see. And if there is a franchise that is perfect for this revolution, a franchise that is about embracing one’s true identity without prejudice or bigotry, defying societal norms, that is The Addams Family.
Wenclair’s canonization is arguably the most “Addams” thing Netflix can give us.
It’s not just a ship, it’s a sound reminder of what true love looks like.
WEDNESDAY SPOILERS
Either this is another huge plot hole or it's the clear, definitive sign that Wednesday and Tyler aren't and will never be the same.
While in Wednesday's body, Enid finds out that Wednesday's greatest secret is that she's scared her mother will never be able to accept her for who she truly is, for her darkness.
Initially, since I've unfortunately read Gough and Millar's interview, I thought it was a nod to her being similar to Tyler: they have a lot of darkness inside of them, they're meant to be and blah blah blah.
But then I asked myself: "If that's the case, why isn't Enid horrified?". She clearly hates Tyler and fears him, so, upon learning that her best friend shares a similar energy to his, she should've been at least worried. But she wasn't. She was as calm and understanding as ever, which might mean that what she saw in Wednesday was a different kind of darkness.

Everything I could ever say about this season is perfectly encapsulated here.
WEDNESDAY SPOILERS
Wednesday really went from not understanding why it would be wrong for Enid to remain alone to reassuring her about the fact that she won't leave her. Kille me please.
WEDNESDAY SPOILERS FOR PART 2
They may have the writers but we have her
BABY GIRL IS SO SCARED BUT SO BRAVE. So shaky but would die for Wednesday instead of let him touch her 😭😭😭
KILL HIM SWEETIE!!!!!!!!!
People acting like it's cute that he's not straight up hurting Enid, because: "Awww he's looking for his girl. He acted all tough and threatening but he just wants Wednesday".
First of all, are we looking at the same scene? Like... are you alright watching Enid being absolutely terrified of him?
Second... what part of him threatening a person to get attention sounds nice to you?
I've never been into dark romance, but this is a whole new level of concerning for me.
Let me be clear that if I see even a HINT of redemption starting for Tyler from any of the characters but ESPECIALLY Wednesday I’m out
Tired of the bad boy gets redeemed because he likes a girl and said sorry when said girl was brutally abused by him (TWICE) trope. Absolute fucking GARBAGE writing and I will not be watching it anymore if that’s the case. So really really hoping it doesn’t come to that
Sisterhood here, sisterhood there... a decent writer would know that, if Wednesday ever forgave Tyler and started dating him, then she'd lose everyone.
Enid, Eugene... her own family could never look at her in the same way. They all risked their lives because of him, being left with physical and psychological scars for the rest of their existences.
We're not simply talking about the toxic guy that your friend keeps getting ghosted by and you help her with... he's a murderer, an abuser and someone who was ready to enable genocide.
I think that this is a good time to repost this
