It might seem dramatic, but actually this

might be the only valid reaction to fumbling your first baddie as spectacularly as Tyler did

Started illustrating scenes from my post-canon Wyler fic but I have no idea when or if that story will ever get posted and I'm too in love with this drawing not to share right away honestly

Wednesday is still getting the hang of the physical affection thing, it's okay though, Tyler will keep still while she figures it out

so tyler galpin's life so far has gone..

>mom died when he was a child

>father emotionally absent and implied alcoholic

>starts acting out in immoral but developmentally appropriate ways for a kid who's experienced a parental death at a young age (vandalism, teenage conflict, etc.)

>further isolated because of it by family and friends

>emotionally physically and sexually abused by an older woman in a way that unlocks a monster that is reactive to the hurt and anger inside of him

>chained up and tortured in a mental institution instead of receiving like, actual therapy and mental health services

>reunites with presumed dead mother and she's abusive too. hits him, manipulates him, lies to and deceives him. might be fucking her bother too. who's a literal corpse, by the way. and they're living in every damp nasty abandoned sewer they can find.

>on the run. life ruined by adults who couldn't treat him with basic kindness or respect or just not literally abuse him.

I mean I guess we can only go up from here but jesus fucking christ

These tags by @thetornadodream on a silly post I made about Tyler in Willow Hill have me crawling up the walls because they're so right. Tyler is chained up in a mental hospital, not given therapy or basic resources, instead being tortured and treated like an experiment. Because if the doctors argue Hydes are subhuman they can say that a minor who was forced to kill people deserves this treatment. Wednesday visits and even though he's angry and alone he's trying to tell her that yes, he lied about who he was and what his motivations were but against all logic his feelings for her were real and he's desperately trying to make her believe him. But she doesn't, against a whole different set of odds her feelings were real too and he betrayed her. She walked over to the coffee shop to kiss the boy she liked and he hurt her. She's too proud to admit that, so she hurts him in return. Makes him feel even more isolated, says that she's just another person who doesn't care what happens to him, even though it's a lie. Turns around and walks away because she knows he wants her to stay. So they spend the rest of the season trying to hurt each other because if they stopped they would have to admit that there's a whole mess of more complicated feelings between hurt and affection under all that hate.

Sometimes it seems like this show creates so many incredible emotional landmines and then somehow doesn't understand them or know what to do with them. Rest assured though, we know what to do—post about it on tumblr.com

I really truly thought interest in fandom would die with my teenage years but here I am outlining a wyler fanfiction the same week I start grad school. Chat I'm starting to think this might not be a phase.
