Multifandom I post about what i’m fixated on at the moment 🇵🇷

[elevenenthusiast]

I desperately need to see Tyler Galpin upgrade from his brown jacket and start wearing either a black leather jacket or a black corduroy jacket in season 3.

I can’t express enough how gross I find the take that Wyler shippers only like the idea of Wednesday and Tyler together because Tyler is “hot”

What really gets me is how reductive it is like it not only assumes everyone who ships Wyler is attracted to Tyler it implies that’s the only possible reason anyone could engage with the ship at all. Like people can’t be interested in character dynamics, or the way relationships are written without it being about thirst.

And it also says a lot about how some people view Tyler as a character if all they can see is “conventionally attractive guy = the only reason anyone cares” Why should anyone take your take on the character or the relationship seriously if that’s what you believe?

And I find it ironic as hell because this kind of take usually comes from Wencla!r shippers. And I could easily turn around and say “oh they only ship them because they’re attracted to the actresses” but we all know how messed up that would be, right? That logic is exactly the same thing being used against Wyler shippers.

Can't believe people cry over Netflix's Wednesday not being as camp as older versions of the Addams family and taking death and murder too seriously but then get offended when someone doesn't take Tyler throwing Wednesday out of the window seriously

[elevenenthusiast]

Those same people act like Wednesday was deeply traumatized by that fall, when she literally brushed it off like it was nothing. This is Wednesday Addams we’re talking about she’s not about to mope because she got kicked out a window and ended up in a coma. She’s an Addams. This is the same girl who later said she enjoyed being buried alive.

[elevenenthusiast]

Question for all my Weyler/Wyler shippers out there do you think the current wave of hate toward the ship will die down once season 3 drops?

I’m honestly pretty confident it will. I feel like as the show continues and their relationship gets more development and depth, more people will start to see the vision. Right now it feels like a lot of reactions are based on where things currently stand, but I think once we get more context and growth on screen, the perception is going to shift in a big way.

[relaxnotshaveeyebrows]

i think the problem with wednesday boils down to this: it’s a normal netflix teen drama about highschool reskinned with an addams family aesthetic. that’s it. it doesn’t really understand the addams family. like oh morticia’s sister “went mad” and disappeared from the family? you know what that means to me? that she married a nice man and moved to the suburbs. they have 2.5 kids and she dresses in pastels. you can’t have this “watch out don’t use your powers we had to commit your aunt the powers turned her mad” and then have fester “gets himself committed for fun” addams played by fred armisen having a young wednesday be his get away driver in the same episode. the tonal dissonance kills it. youre telling me pugsley has a PET ZOMBIE and he’s not DYING to show it off to his sister and his parents?????? like seriously who is writing this damn show. it just bothers me so much like you got the go ahead to revive the addams family and the kids at an age we haven’t seen and you’re wasting it.

[elevenenthusiast]

Coming back to this months later because I just have to admit something… I found it really odd that Morticia told Wednesday, “do not court this monster,” when Wednesday was trying to master Tyler, and that she didn’t gladly go with her to do it. I know 90s Morticia absolutely would have.

I guess that one could argue she held back because she’d already let Francoise go find Tyler and didn’t want Wednesday getting in the middle of that. But even so, there are so many moments in the show where she just feels out of character and the same goes for the rest of the Addams family too.

Here you can donate to the families in Gaza. We have collected $3,912 / $20,000.

This video shows ongoing, systematic demolitions in Gaza.

Homes are being destroyed, neighborhoods cleared, and entire areas wiped out even now, while a ceasefire is supposedly in place.

People are watching their houses disappear piece by piece.

Not during fighting.

Not in the middle of airstrikes.

But after everything, when they were told it was safe to breathe again.

The destruction didn’t stop.

It just became quieter.

These images show displacement tents set up right next to a heavily damaged building.

The building was hit before and is leaning, at risk of collapsing at any moment.

Families are living in these tents because they have no other place to go.

There are no safe areas left, no intact homes, no shelters to move to.

Leaving this spot doesn’t mean safety it just means being displaced again.

So people stay.

Not because they feel protected,but because this is the last option they have They sleep knowing the building beside them could fall.

They wake up hoping it doesn’t.

This is not temporary living This is forced survival.

Donate for GAZA

This donation campaign is for ANAS family. Not for strangers, not for a cause I'm distant from but for the people who raised me, the people I love, the people I'm terrified of losing.

They are in Gaza, trying to survive something no human being should ever have to endure. Constant bombardment, displacement, hunger, fear, and the feeling that tomorrow is never guaranteed. Every day is about staying alive one more night.

If you choose to help, you are not donating to an abstract crisis. You are helping real people with names, memories, and lives that matter to me more than anything.

Please donate if you can!!

Thinking about how Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End should have ended with Elizabeth continuing as Pirate King, sailing the seas and the fifth movie could still happen, but she would be the one seeking the Trident to save Will from the curse.

[gaywatch]

oh my, you ship jack and elizabeth?

i’m definitely prepared for a highly intense and opinionated lecture if you have the time and energy for it! been shipping them for years but have never known someone else who does as well!

Okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy so

Some people had the Vision to see potential in Jack/Elizabeth from Pirates of Caribbean right from the start. Those people were blessed with the gift of Sight. I was not. I took the first movie's canon as is, like a heathen. This is particularly funny given ::gestures to the entire desert island sequence::

Will/Elizabeth was good enough, though it probably should have been a sign that me, the Most Hopeless Romantic Bitch You Know, wasn't drawn to the canon romance in a particular way. I was an overall fan, I liked everything about it.

I had to have the sequel dropped on my head in order to Understand.

First of all, you know how Jack's compass won't work? The one that points directly to what he wants most in the world? And then it points at Elizabeth but oh whoopsie she had the papers or the map or whatever that would get him closer to immortality so it must have been that then never mind? MIND. The writers themselves confirmed what was implied throughout the whole movie--Jack was in love with Elizabeth to the point of a genuine dilemma between her and immortality. His feelings are canon. Oh, he makes little 'it would never work' jokes but that motherfucker wants her as much as wants to live forever.

And Elizabeth??? Excuse me??? With her own arc descending into a pirate's morality by way of extreme flirtation with the lifelong pirate? Packing chemistry that Will could never muster for a single second of his entire life? Will and Elizabeth have perfectly good devotion and care for one another, but excuse me ma'am you come to LIFE when you're around Jack, thank you.

And then the third movie just made it Worse.

She's the Pirate King. THE. Pirate King. KING OF THE PIRATES. And she's a damn good one. An inspiring leader. A clever woman. She fits into piracy and piracy molds itself to her in ways that make for a banger character arc, so why in the FUCK are we waiting on a beach for however many years while Will serves his time? The guy who doesn't want piracy but is forced to serve? Meanwhile the lifelong pirate who embraces the world you fit into is a no???? And not to harp on chemistry, but you expect me to watch Elizabeth fall into that kind of fire with one person and then NOT end up with him?

I do not understand. The arc and evolution of Elizabeth starting out with her childhood sweetheart and then over time growing up and rising into what she really wants in both a life (piracy) and Jack (not the boy-next-door good girls are supposed to dream about) would have been so compelling to watch alongside the main plot. Plus, for the time the original trilogy was made, it would have been mind blowing to see a love triangle where she doesn't wind up with the guy she was originally interested in or the Safe One. Hell it'd be a nice twist now.

Why is it ALWAYS the Safe One? These days there's a whole """bad boy""" subgenre to compensate, but it's mostly in books and they're mostly just assholes or abusive. I've been gnawing my enclosure for twenty years over this, and it's a huge reason why I never win love triangles whenever I wind up caring about them. Jack, Phantom, Gale, my track record for canon sucks but the straight ladies writing """bad boys""" don't get it either. Bad boys do not work unless they're also good men. He either grows into it or it's hidden for as long as you want but at some point it has to be Bad Boy, Good Man. That's where the money is.

POTC could have had it all but played it safe in the end. Sigh.

I’m coming to this post a whole year later, but I just finished watching the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies and need to rant about this. Okay, so I can’t stop thinking about Sparrabeth. I get why people ship them, because their dynamic is by far the most compelling in the series. Even more than Jack and Will, Hector and Jack, even Will & Elizabeth.

Honestly, the thing with Jack and Elizabeth that makes it so interesting isn’t romance. It’s that they mirror each other. They’re like twin flames. Jack is everything Elizabeth wants freedom, chaos, unpredictability and when she’s with him, she’s at her most alive. When she’s with Will, she just kind of dims. By the end of the trilogy, she’s back on land, waiting every ten years for Will to return, and it’s left totally ambiguous whether she even kept her pirate king title or ever sailed the seas again. That ending is devastating for her character. Will gets closure. Jack gets his thing. Elizabeth gets left hanging.

I really feel like the story should’ve made Jack & Elizabeth’s dynamic much more central, especially in the third movie. I would’ve loved if Jack not only gave her the pirate king title but was also willing to give her the Black Pearl by the end. Yeah, Hector complicates things, but the writers could’ve made it work. It would’ve been huge growth for Jack, since the Black Pearl is basically his most prized possession, and it would’ve given Elizabeth the arc she deserved becoming pirate king and captain of the Black Pearl. That’s a satisfying ending for both of them.

Jack & Elizabeth are electric. They mirror each other. She comes alive around him. And yet, the story sidelines her for Will. Will has stakes beyond Elizabeth, and she doesn’t. Her story is wrapped up entirely in him, and it’s so disappointing. She deserved so much more.

So two posts ago I said Tyler should start wearing either a black leather jacket or a black corduroy jacket in season 3… what do y’all think about him learning to ride a motorcycle, or is that too corny? I mean, he’s gonna need some kind of transportation since he lost his truck and what better upgrade than a motorcycle? (specifically a vintage one) Maybe at the Hyde colony there are mechanics who specialize in motorcycles, Idk… what do y’all think, or is this doing the most now. 😭

As I was looking for motorcycle pics, I came across this one and it immediately made me think of a younger Tyler going out somewhere with his parents and stumbling across a motorcycle and he’s completely fascinated by it and just starts going on about how when he grows up he wants to learn how to ride one.

[elevenenthusiast]

What I truly hope for the romance arcs of some of the Wednesday characters:

Obviously, Wednesday and Tyler are endgame. The only way I can’t see them being endgame is if Tyler dies… so let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

Bianca being a lesbian and ending up with a vampire girlfriend? Yes. I love the idea of vampire x siren. I wouldn’t mind her ending up with Ajax, but honestly, I’d much prefer them just being friends. The same goes for Ajax and Enid.

I think the writers have so much potential to explore Enid’s sexuality. I really hope they make her ace/aro. Most people assume it should be Wednesday, but I think it’d be nice if it were Enid. People often say Wednesday should be ace/aro just because she’s not really affectionate or into relationships, but with Enid’s arc so far, this could be such a good direction. That said, I wouldn’t mind if Enid turns out lesbian if she does, I’d love her ending up with Bianca, or maybe a Hyde girlfriend she meets in season 3 if she ends up at the Hyde Colony. But mostly, I just want her to be ace/aro.

As for Ajax, give this guy a boyfriend. Make him bisexual he gives me serious bi vibes. Maybe a werewolf boyfriend? 👀 (Bruno?)

And lastly, I think Pugsley and Agnes as a couple would be cute. Of course, I’d rather that not happen now, and I don’t think it will considering how young they are, but I do want to see more scenes with them together, along with Eugene. I also wouldn’t mind the idea of Eugene and Pugsley together in the future it could totally work too.

None of this is probably going to happen, but honestly, this is how I’d do it if I were in charge of the show.

I desperately need to see Tyler Galpin upgrade from his brown jacket and start wearing either a black leather jacket or a black corduroy jacket in season 3.

[elevenenthusiast]

Even if Tyler were a completely normal guy, I’m gonna be honest I’d still ship him with Wednesday.

The appeal of Wednesday and Tyler isn’t about twists or secrets to me, it’s that Tyler is just some guy who somehow understands her better than almost anyone outside her family. When you compare him to people like Enid or Xavier, it’s clear he gets her on a different level. He doesn’t try to fix her, soften her, or push her to be more “normal.” He just lets her be Wednesday. And more importantly, he likes her that way.

Tyler never treats her like a project or a puzzle that needs solving. He doesn’t want her to change who she is or apologize for it. He enjoys how unapologetically herself she is, and that’s such an underrated kind of affection. There’s something really powerful about a romance where one character is just a total lover who appreciates the other person exactly as they are, no conditions attached.

The cute barista boy falling for the goth girl everyone else finds weird, intimidating, or off-putting is inherently romantic to me. He sees her, appreciates her, and chooses her anyway not in spite of who she is, but because of it.

Like I’m not kidding, this show could’ve been set in a completely normal setting without the supernatural elements, and I’d still be shipping the hell out of Wednesday and Tyler. Sorry, but sometimes cute, simple romances really do it for me too. I love both cute, simple romances and complex ones, and Wednesday and Tyler are the perfect mix of both.

[elevenenthusiast]

I like to think El got an ending similar to Edward Scissorhands where like Edward she’s out there somewhere in Iceland building sculptures. Not just any sculptures but ones made from her happiest memories and the people she loves.

I’ve always believed El would end up as a sculptor. After seeing the diorama she built of Hopper in season 4 it just clicked. She’s always felt like the artistic type someone who processes love and loss by creating things with her hands.

For all my Weyler fans especially those who love AUs, and especially AUs inspired by iconic movies I need to recommend this incredible fanfic inspired by 10 Things I Hate About You.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

The amount of buzz this fic gave me is honestly unreal. I read it this morning and immediately fell in love. It not only made me miss Wednesday and Tyler like crazy, but it also reignited that deep nostalgia for 90s/early 2000s rom-coms. I finished this fic genuinely wishing we’d get a rom-com with this exact kind of plot but with a normal awkward guy completely falling for a deadpan goth girl.

The writing fully immersed me in the world there were moments that made me genuinely laugh and others that left my heart melting. This fic carries so much emotion, and kudos to alicefromthenightmareland for capturing it so perfectly. Such a joy to read, and I know other Weyler fans will love it just as much as I did.

Anyway Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! I hope you’ve all had an amazing Christmas so far. 😊

My biggest wish for season 3 of Wednesday is that it’ll have 15–20 episodes, but I know damn well that’s impossible and realistically not gonna happen. 💔

[elevenenthusiast]

I don’t get the criticism that the Hyde should be removed from Wednesday. That’s literally THE main creature of the show there’s no way they’re going to get rid of the Hyde storyline, and they really shouldn’t.

That said, I do think the writers could do a lot more with the other outcasts. One of the main reasons I’ve never been fully invested in Nevermore (besides the fact it might’ve worked better as a university Wicked has already shown college settings can work really well) is that the worldbuilding feels kind of weak. We barely know anything about the other outcasts, and honestly, that makes them… kind of boring.

It’s wild that we’re heading into season 3 and we still haven’t seen Bianca in her Siren form. The only person we’ve really seen fully in Siren form is that long-haired guy in season 1. Stuff like this just shows the show struggles with fully fleshing out its world.

But that doesn’t mean the Hyde or Tyler should be removed. The Hyde is genuinely interesting because even in a world full of outcasts, it’s seen as different, and there’s a lot of history tied up in that discrimination. It adds a layer to the show that I really hope they continue to explore.

[elevenenthusiast]

Saying this as a Weyler shipper but… Weyler and Wyler are just so boring as ship names, if I’m being brutally honest. I’ve been thinking about it a lot and I kinda landed on Ravenhyde since Wednesday is a raven and she’s associated a lot with them, but I feel like there could be something better. Idk, what do y’all think?
