Apologies if I’m being obnoxious right now but I feel like not tagging a ship in a post about how it’s a “red-herring” for another ship, aimed specifically at fans of the latter, should be like basic tumblr etiquette.
Tyler knows Wednesday’s tastes better than most so I just KNOW he was watching her get buried alive at the end of season two and thinking “goddamn it she’s probably enjoying this fuckkkk” lmao
I could still see and feel the world around us and yet, somehow, Rashid was the only other one there.
It didn’t last long, the effect coming and going in between claps of the bass.
Like the pulsating cycles of sweeping highs and dropkicks from the drums, I’d blink and it’d be just he and I. Then, in a flash, there’d be bodies dancing and laughing and talking and drinking between us. Like a stop-motion film set to electronic house music.
You look better.
I had to be crazy.
A complete psychopath because I couldn’t get him out of my head.
Fake audio hallucinatory Rashid wouldn’t let me get him out of my head.
“Fuck it.”
Knocking back the remainder of my drink, I told Lou not to wait up for me. Navigated my way through the sea of swaying spectators that separated us—that had been placed between Rashid and I. Like two moons orbiting each other, I felt him tugging me in. Watched helplessly as the gravity of his presence set me on this crash course trajectory.
A dark star ready to obliterate all in its path.
A flashbang with the pin pulled.
I couldn’t look away.
_________ARMAND_________
Eyes of emerald and fire. Lips bowed like angel’s wings. Strong broad shoulders drawn down to his arms, back, and chest with similar definition. A flecking of freckles to accompany his warm fair skin.
He was likely popular outside of work.
Turn back the hands of time while preserving his beauty and Daniel would have made a killing in Hollywood’s golden age when the women were either Garland’s and Hepburn’s or Dietrich’s and Bacall's with nothing in between.
An involuntary gasp respired from me accompanied by a groan, the sound of which withdrew me from my musings.
“Molloy…”
“We’re back to last names?” the green eyed beast taunted with his teeth nipping the small gold hoop secured to my earlobe. “A minute ago I was Daniel.”
“A minute more of this in plain view of the public and it won’t matter.”
“Why? You planning on killing me for making you hard and writing my obituary yourself?”
Ah, yes, there it was.
The root of this ill-fated attraction.
The answer to my prior pondering, gazing up at me with a lethality comparable to a nuclear bomb—scoarching, all-consuming, and dangerous. A type of devastation so impressive, it bordered on the divine. A frightening attraction. A crushing desire.
Powerful and inescapable like the supermassive black hole placed at the center of the galaxy.

rolin jones genuinely makes my blood boil. “lovable, cuddly show”?? okay so you just dont think explorations of grief and loss and self loathing and repression told through a black gay man are worth taking seriously. jesus fucking christ someone kill him
Oh FUCK OFFFFF ROLIN JONES YOU HACK PIECE OF SHIT!! You have NO RIGHT to fucking have the rights to these fucking booms or the right to adapt them you useless visionless lump of a worthless human being!! FUCK YOU!!
@certaindreamchopshop Welcome to the clubhouse of those who are just as equally baffled and enraged by the stupidity and arrogance of Rolin Jones. He’s committed mass character assassination across the fandom and bastardized all the leads, their history, and the story as a whole. We don’t have matching jackets in this club but we do have a game plan to make RJ pay (No Rest SDCC for Rolin Jones 2026). Also, the next meeting is a potluck so make sure you bring something that’s not paper plates or drink cups. ✌️👀
Wednesday, July 22nd: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and multiple disabled woman in desperate need of help, as I'm struggling to keep my utilities on!!
I apologise for asking for help again. As most of you know from my previous posts, I have been struggling to make ends meet while on welfare. And due to my outstanding bills and ever-increasing debt, it has been difficult for me to get by. These past few months have been absolute hell, and with no other income, I've been relying on the kindness of others to get by.
However, I desperately need that kindness again, as I wasn't able to pay my bills last month because I was behind on my rent, and I've been trying to keep my sister afloat during her benefit sanctions. I'm struggling quite a lot to keep my utilities on. I don't receive until the 31st, and I'm also running out of groceries!!
Again, I know this is a lot to ask, but if anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would mean a lot, and sharing helps just as much.
It was literally love at first sight. Not bite, but SIGHT because for these two, it’s about what’s lies beneath the surface level desire/lust. For Daniel, it’s the humanity that coexists with the monster inside Armand’s mind. And for Armand, it’s the tragic yet beautiful chaos that tests and hardens and sharpens the wit and street smarts of his fascinating beautiful boy. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I LIIIIIVE. Sorry I've just been stupid busy with nonsense the past couple weeks, getting in the way of these reviews. Absolutely offensive.
I feel as a fandom we forget Wednesday very much breaks and enters a LOT of places
Also NOT TYLER’S UNCLE HELPING INVESTIGATE HIS CRIMES-
IT’S 7:30 AND WEDNESDAY’S BREAKING INTO THE MORGUE? LIKE HONEY AT LEAST WAIT UNTIL MIDNIGHT
Also a very weird variety of body parts for this spell. Like toes? Not vital organs and such?
NEVER ANNOUNCE YOUR RETIREMENT, YOU’VE SIGNED YOUR DEATH SENTENCE.
Wednesday enjoying the mortuary fridge (?) vs. Being buried alive in the S2 finale.
Xavier being mopey and telling Wednesday “you could invite someone [to the Rave’n] and have a little fun” OH HOW THAT STATEMENT WILL BACKFIRE ON HIM-
Also I HATE that Xavier’s paintings of the Hyde only seemed to serve as a red herring rather than something important? Like unless they scrapped something in S2 it all leads nowhere.
GODS XAVIER IS SO DUMB HERE LIKE-
WEDNESDAY GOING THROUGH THE 10 STAGES OF GRIEF HAVING TO ASK HIM TO THE DANCE HELP HER-
I would also love to point out that she had to ask Xavier because she suspected him of being the Hyde, but when Tyler later arrives she has no other motive to go with him other than SHE WANTS TO-
Also Enid trying to bring Wednesday to Hawte Kewture for shopping like ENID YOU’VE BEEN ROOMING WITH THIS GIRL FOR AT LEAST A MONTH NOW. How have you NOT clued in on her fashion preferences??
Gods I am so glad every day that they axed the dialogue Wednesday originally had at seeing the dress at Uriah’s Heap. Like yeeees Jenna let your expressions and eyes do all the acting it’s AMAZING.
“Person that drew this [Xavier’s Hyde drawing], is that your suspect?” Donovan IMMEDIATELY beginning the work on framing someone else for the murders
LUCAS YOU WILL BE AVEEENGED
UUUGH the conversation between Wednesday and Tyler here is sooo chefs kiss
Like Tyler isn’t even upset she’s going with someone, he gets upset when it’s Xavier
TYLER WALKING AWAY AND WEDNESDAY STOPPING HIM BY CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION LIKE SHE COULD HAVE JUST LET HIM GO? WHY DOES SHE CARE? WHY DO YOU CARE BABE??
Also this paralleling S2 ep2 when Wednesday is about to leave Willowhill and Tyler ragebaits her into continuing the conversation by threatening Enid THESE TWO ARE SO STUPID FOR EACH OTHER-
Also like OOOOF I know Wednesday would not know this, but I’m imagining how many times Tyler heard “I’m dealing with a lot right now” from his dad as an excuse to be neglectful and just...ouch.
AND WEDNESDAY IS SO OBVIOUSLY UPSET BY THE CONVERSATION LIKE GIRL-
WHERE are my AU fics where Wednesday touches the shackes in the cave and has a vision???
Also, Xavier if you don’t want Wednesday so suspect you maybe ACT A BIT MORE NORMAL?
“I’m sorry do I work for you” You know, sometimes I really do miss Donovan.
BIANCA NO, THROW THAT MAN INTO THE BIN WHERE HE BELONGS-
NOT TYLER’S UNCLE HELPING HIM GET A DATE WITH WEDNESDAY TO THE DANCE!?!?
Thornhill / Laurel trying to get Weems to talk about the Rave’n during her time at Nevermore and Weems talks about Gomez asking Morticia instead of her like UM LARISSA THE BODY OF GARRETT GATES DROPPED FROM THE ROOF IN FRONT OF YOU? MAYBE THAT’S A PROMINENT MEMORY AS WELL??
Wednesday NOT CORRECTING that she did not send Thing with the note, NOT CORRECTING that she had other plans, LIKE JUST IMMEDIATELY PANICKING AND LOOKING FOR A DRESS FUCKING HELP ME-
OH GOD TYLER STARING THE PICTURE OF HIS MOTHER THAN SEEING WEDNESDAY’S REFLECTION AS SHE COMES DOWN THE STAIRS
Also, given Wednesday’s interaction we’ve seen so far with every other person, Tyler is actually probably the first person outside of her family to ever call her beautiful and mean it.
POOR EUGENE
Tyler still carrying out the fucking corsage
EUGENE NO, HAVE YOU NEVER SEEN A HORROR MOVIE?
Also this weird jealousy thing between Ajax and Enid has always been weird to me. Like I get being 16 is awkward but Ajax really couldn’t explain to Enid that he didn’t mean to stand her up?
BIANCA NO YOU ARE TOO BEAUTIFUL TO BE SITTING WITH THAT TRASH MAN
Ooooh gods Tyler is sooo uncomfortable being left alone with Thornhill / Laurel
Like honestly I feel we did not analyze enough that Enid was trying to make Ajax jealous after one incident like?
XAVIER THINKING TELLING WEDNESDAY WHAT TYLER DID WILL MAKE HER HATE HIM AND INSTEAD IT ONLY MADE HER LIKE TYLER MORE.
Like EVERYTHING is fucking backfiring on Xavier this episode it is HYSTERICAL
I’m always going to wonder about the context and timeline of Tyler assaulting Xavier like when did it fall on the timeline of him meeting Laurel and the Hyde being unlocked? Did he ever actually go to bootcamp?
“I did a terrible thing but I swear I’m not a terrible person” NO YOU ARE NOT BABY. YOU JUST WENT ON A COUPLE MURDER SPREES.
Listen, he works customer service, you should be allowed a good murder spree every once and a while with that line of work.
Wednesday does not give a SINGLE FUCK about Xavier like MY GODS, LOVE TRIANGLE WHERE GUYS.
“I knew there was a reason I liked you” is shaking hands with “I guess I have a type.”
THE MATING DAAAAANCE
Like the eye contact? THE SYNCHRONIZED SHOULDER SWAYING? Gradually getting closer??
“Take off your amulet and make me forget about her” Bianca should have punched this man in the face.
Oh Tyler is entranced by her like boy was falling and not about to get up.
Also what the hell was Laurel’s reasoning for nuking the cave? There was no more evidence in there, and if there was what was it?
Wednesday calling Bianca beautiful and popular oooh the Wenclay crumbs
I also hate that Bianca’s insecurities about if someone truly likes her has not come up again in S2, like I get we have other things happening but
EUGENE THIS IS WHY WE DON’T GO OUT ALONE GODDAMMIT
WEDNESDAY AND TYLER STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROWD, THE MOST INTENSE FUCKING EYE CONTACT OH
Like if the blood shower hadn’t started they’d be making out, prove me wrong
Also a moment of hilarity for Tyler probably knowing immediately it wasn’t real blood but HAVING TO KEEP SHUT ABOUT HOW HE KNOWS-
Also I guess we’re just gonna ignore it looks like another fucking full moon when Wednesday’s running through the woods looking for Eugene
Also, not gonna lie, the first time I watched this show, I fully thought they actually had to balls to kill a kid.
No but really let’s talk about how so many people somehow came out of season one thinking “Wednesday never even liked Tyler” as if she didn’t drop everything to join him at the dance when she had zero reason to.
rolin jones genuinely makes my blood boil. “lovable, cuddly show”?? okay so you just dont think explorations of grief and loss and self loathing and repression told through a black gay man are worth taking seriously. jesus fucking christ someone kill him
Oh FUCK OFFFFF ROLIN JONES YOU HACK PIECE OF SHIT!! You have NO RIGHT to fucking have the rights to these fucking booms or the right to adapt them you useless visionless lump of a worthless human being!! FUCK YOU!!
the Wednesday dance scene got memed on SO hard back in the day and it’s such a bummer because it’s actually so cute and meaningful in the context of the show and it makes me giggle and kick my feet so bad whenever I watch it 😭😭😭😭
Wednesday season 1 was such an interesting (and yeah kinda frustrating) example of a piece of media going meteorically viral in such a way that you KNEW when most of the people referencing it hadn’t actually engaged with it as a piece of storytelling.
Like that sounds super pretentious reading it out, but barely 1% of the people referencing that dance seemed to get or care (or have even watched the episode enough to understand) why it’s significant as a character beat.
