I know a lot of people are shipping Pugsley and Eugene which I honestly think is really cute.
I don’t have many headcanons because wenclair is my whole life but I really love that Eugene was a weirdo nerd bug type and the reason he didn’t want to befriend Pugsley was he’s a weirdo and now Eugene has guyfriends and he doesn’t want to go back to being the weirdo loner. He’s the cool guy who’s Wednesday’s friend who helped save the school now, he can’t go back. Its super realistic for a kid like him tbh, they are just teenagers. I know when I was around that age I wasn’t jumping at the gun to tank what little social credibility i had. Like being at negative two was hard enough. YOU WANT ME TO BE MADE FUN OF MORE? 😂
Pugsley is a weirdo but he’s also really openly sweet. He was also bullied, so its hard for him to make friends in a school setting. It seems like he really wants that connection though and its really heart wrenching nobody responds to him.
(Side note. I fucking HATE how Wednesday and Pugsley just don’t interact this season basically. They’re siblings!)
But Eugene slowly warms up to Pugsley (kinda like Wednesday, which is so FUNNY that they’re the reverse of Wenclair) and realizes yeah, he was being a dick. He knows how it feels to just want a single friend, and he denied Pugsley that because he was too afraid to lose his social credibility. Eugene probably knows what its like to be bullied too.
I just think friends to lovers with them would be really cute. Pugsley isn’t at all creeped out by his bugs and that was part of the reason Eugene and Wednesday became friends. Pugsley would also be super protective I think, he would shock people who mess with Eugene. He would also drag Eugene along on adventures and I think thats really cute.
Big hearted but well meaning doofus + nerdy guy who thinks he’s too dangerous to himself and everyone else to be left alone is actually really cute.
The Gomezification of Pugsley Addams is something I’m willing to explore, especially since Pugsley is much more open to being expressive than Wednesday. I think he’d follow Eugene around everywhere and also play with his bugs. He tries VERY hard not to eat them and he is such a good friend. He is just all around always happy to see Eugene and always has something dead to show him.
Pugsley brings Eugene dead birds sometimes if Eugene is sad for a little feel better snack (no it doesn’t work but he’s TRYING just look at his face Eugene has to take the bird LOOK AT HIS FACE).
I don’t think Pugsley would be as eloquent as Wednesday but he’s definitely his own version of romantic. He’s absolutely obsessed with Eugene and thinks he’s the coolest person ever. Eugene is his first and only friend so he’s not willing to lose him. I think Pugsley would probably feel a lot like Enid, replacable.
I think he’d be pretty jealous and territorial over his spot as Eugene’s best friend once he earned it. I also think Eugene’s mothers wouldn’t like Pugsley at first, because he gets Eugene into dangerous situations. But he’d prove his commitment to always protecting Eugene and they’d warm up to him, though they think he’s weird. And it’s nice that Eugene is making friends but Wednesday and Pugsley Addams are…choices. 😂
