Gomez gives out better relationship advice than like 90% of dudes.

[obstinate-nocturna]

Gomez Addams is a suave motherfucker who loves his wife more than his own life.

Everyone should want a Gomez. He’s p cool.

[breelandwalker]

Gomez and Morticia Addams actually have a very loving and extremely healthy relationship, both in the old TV show and in the more recent movies. They were also one of the first television couples to be shown to have an active (albeit offscreen) sex life. Their frank attitude towards sexuality was shocking in its’ time, but their relationship and their family dynamic is actually more functional and more…dare I say it…sane than most families portrayed on TV.

The comedy in the show came from the family’s “odd” lifestyle, rather than from infighting and petty bickering, or worse, as was common on other shows of the time, thinly veiled references to spousal abuse. They didn’t make fun of each other or act like their children were creatures from another world. Were they strange and outside of social norms? Yes. Were they united in creating a loving home and being good, supportive parents? Absolutely.

These two support and adore their children, care for an aging mother and an estranged brother, put family before everything, and they love each other, wholly, fiercely, without reserve. They are every bit as much in love after at least a decade of marriage as they were the day they met.

Relationship goals. LIFE goals.

Just remembered in the second movie when their third child became “normal” for a period and although they were shocked and didn’t know how to handle it, they didn’t mistreat the child or love it any less. They accepted the difference, even though it was hard for them.

Posts about Gomez and Morticia Addams are almost always uplifting and I’m happy to have them on my dash, but I think my favorite bit about this conversation is what Gomez is actually saying to Fester.

It’s nobody’s surprise that many of the aesthetic and thematic elements of The Addams Family in its various incarnations are influenced by Gothic tradition (not goth, that mostly came later. And not Goth, that was much much much too early), and I think Gomez’s words are a dead bullseye in terms of Gothic mentality.

“Make her feel like she’s the most sublime creature on earth”

The sublime is a recurring theme throughout Gothic literature. Although the word (like “awesome”) has lost a lot of it’s original luster over the intervening decades, sublime doesn’t really mean elevated and lofty (or even heavenly) as it’s often used today, but rather something possessing the power and grandeur to induce awe and veneration in the mind of the beholder. Although less than divine, something sublime possessed a wildness and power that transcended human ability to control…or even to comprehend.

Sublime is standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon leaning as far as you dare over the railing and still not being able to see the canyon floor below. Sublime is warrior-queen Galadriel being tempted by the One Ring. Sublime is waking up in the middle of the night in the heart of a wild thunderstorm.

“Make her feel like she’s the most sublime creature on earth”

Gomez isn’t advising Fester to treat a woman he fancies like a princess, or even elevate her to pedestal of angelic nature (who’s idea was it to equate femininity with purity anyway? What a laughable and historically damaging idea. Shame on whatever dead (probably) white dudes promoted that!)

Gomez is advising Fester that if he truly loves a woman he must do everything he can to remind her of how she’s an untameable force of nature who’s grandeur brings him to his knees in awe and terror. Just like Morticia, for Gomez.

I’ll sign off with one of my most favorite quotes of all time, because it feels suddenly very relevant:

“When I find myself surrounded by so much beauty, I feel as if I am the eye of a hurricane.”

“She laughed and danced with the thought of death in her heart.”

[randomlivinglife]

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS!! It’s called sirens lament. The art is so beautiful and the story is good so far. I can’t wait to see more of it. I’m such a fool for romance.

[bileyg-the-king]

[willow-s-linda]

Can we keep her? 

[bando--grand-scamyon]

THIS IS THE CUTEST THING I’VE EVER SEEEEEEN

[black-to-the-bones-deactivated2]

Say her name. Never forget the struggle of being black in America. Honor the victims of police brutality. Fight against The Police State.

[futureblackwakandan-deactivated]

Guys please reblog this. The death of black women must be mourned too.

[kimreesesdaughter]

Not even just Black women, she was a Black girl. This just..I’m tired.

[jjsupremacy-deactivated20230913]

Nobody said ‪#‎AllLivesMatter‬ until we said ‪#‎BlackLivesMatter‬ Nobody said ‪#‎HeterosexualPrideDay‬ until we had ‪#‎GayPride‬ Nobody wants ‪#‎WhiteHistoryMonth‬ until its ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬ Nobody mentions ‪#‎MensRights‬ until we talk about ‪#‎Feminism‬

This shows me that you don’t actually care about these things, you just want all the “minorities” to shut up so the status quo never changes.

#triggerwarning: tomorrow the front cover of the New York Daily News is going to have Alton Sterling’s lifeless body on the cover

idk why this is necessary at all but please protect your spirits

[mangoeatingprincess-deactivated]

I just checked the website and the cover photo is already there so I’m just adding to this warning

[jenjerbread]

what…the…fuck….

[aphex-twigs]

it literally never ends. black people are still on display as animals, we might as well be those fucking dead lions that white people pose with after they gun them down too

[degas]

they also have screen shots of Philando Castile covered in his own blood in the car and on the ground with police just above the article about Alton on their website so i’d double the recommendation for not going there

Wtffffffffff
