The difference in the romantic treatment Wednesday receives from Tyler v/s the platonic treatment she receives from Enid is very stark and is why I will never be able to ship anything other than wyler.
I can't ignore the fact that Tyler made sure her dead flowers were wrapped in black and white and that the note was also black and white because he knows she has an allergy but Enid drank a coffee with colorful syrups, didn't take her anti-allergic meds and wore bright colored clothing while smiling and dancing to humiliate her in front of the entire school because she thought Wednesday was lying to maintain her "tragic, lonely goth girl aesthetic".
(Honestly, I find that description of Wednesday very humiliating, and personally, I would never speak that way about my friends and that too behind their back. But i do like Enid and Wednesday's friendship so I'm willing to overlook it.)
Enid did all of that when she was on good terms with Wednesday and then when she was a little mad at her.
Tyler did all of that for her while he wanted to kill her.
In s1 the difference is even more stark, he and Xavier are romantically interested in her, so they treat her boundaries differently than Enid does. For her birthday, Xavier designed a Gothic cake, and Tyler chose dark chocolate ganache because he wanted to stick to her preferences and boundaries.
Enid... added a pink balloon.
For her birthday, Enid made her a snood which did not match her aesthetic at all but she still forced her to wear it while Tyler acknowledged that while the coffee doesn't match her aesthetic he only did it to do something special for her. And on their birthday dinner/date he took her to a crypt, got her favourite flower: a black dahlia, made their cutlery look like weapons, made black and white popcorn buckets, got an old fashioned film projector and tortured her for fun.
Again and again, the contrast in their relationships is shown through how Enid and Tyler treat Wednesday's boundaries and allergy.
It's not a coincidence. It's meant to show the difference between how the platonic love between Enid and Wednesday translates to Enid pushing Wednesday's boundaries and making her try new things and grow while Tyler gives her space and comfort to be her dark self without any judgement.
