In our sub reddit (r/weyler on reddit . com) we are dissecting Hunter interview in the book magazine and it's clear that our lovely friend Laurel Gates approached Tyler and unlocked the Hyde one year prior to Wednesday arrival. So, when Tyler destroyed Xavier's mural, he knew about his mother connection to Nevermore and the Hyde was fully unlocked already. (please check my friend @dailydoohan on Twitter to get these images and all the most incredible updates)
Now tell me again that Tyler is a bully, come on, I am here, waiting for you :)
Plus... that Laurel b*** had her dirty hands on Tyler for one year.

I AM GONNA BE FINE.
Never said I liked romantic picnics in the crypt, especially if nobody ends up making out on the floor. SoâŠyeah⊠if enemies to lovers have more chances of wild tĂȘte Ă tĂȘte, where do I sign?
From the day of the premiere I watched Wednesday, I watched it twice and I loved it! Wednesday is my favorite of course, but I never thought Tyler Galpin would win my heart! And much less this ship! I loved the series and I have many more works that I'm about to do on Wednesday, you will see them throughout February.
For this ship I wanted to do a bit of a tender moment and I think I did it well.
She thinks about how much she loves him, about how much she wants to say it, but thatâs not her and maybe it never will be, but she knows that he knows. Itâs in all the little things here and there she does that speaks of her love for him. Itâs in the way that every time he tells her he loves her, he doesnât expect her to say it back and thatâs love because he knows thatâs sheâs bad with expressing her emotions â hence the feelings wheel â and every time she opens her mouth to try, he just leans forward and gently kisses her followed by an âI know. Itâs okay, I know. I can feel it, you donât have to say it. Never.â And it makes her burn so bad she doesnât know what to do. It makes her body feel hot, too hot, the urge to say it back overwhelming, sending her into overdrive. But not saying it burns mores her more than he ever could which is why she pushes her love through the bond, by pushing a stray curl out of his pretty face that looks wrecked, tear stains still visible on his cheeks as she says, âI canât.â
Why I actively think Tyler will be redeemed and Wyler will be endgame based on actual clues and my knowledge about movie-making (and not just because I am a raging Tyler apologist)
This is a long one so strap yourselves in, hahaha
First of all, Hunter Doohan confirmed that Tylerâs feelings for Wednesday were real because he didnât know who she was or her significance to Laurelâs plan when they first met at the Weathervane. But Iâd go even further and claim that he didnât know her significance during the entire first episode. If he knew, why would he ever offer her a ride out of Jericho and offer her the police file that inadvertently led to her cracking the case and bringing Laurel down (but the argument could also be made that thatâs why he gave her that file, to bring his abuser down).
Wednesday makes it abundantly clear over the entire season that she has no interest in Xavier whatsoever and is constantly turned off/annoyed by his presence and antics. And this might just be me personally, but Xavier reminds me a lot of an ex of mine who was extremely entitled, selfish, immature and giving major incel vibes. I feel like Xavier is the type of guy who is nice to a girl only when he is interested and/or wants something. And the way he treated Bianca at the RaveâN (immediate no-no) and immediately goes into pity party-mode whenever someone rejects him just irks me. But again, that might just be me.
Now compare that with Wednesdayâs reaction to Tylerâs antics. Wednesday is not someone who wants closeness in the beginning, in any shape or form. She is honest, direct and blunt, with no interest in pretending she enjoys something to be polite. Yet she doesnât object when Tyler manhandles her in ep 2 (in the forest), she never denies her interest in him in ep 4, her first reaction to attending the RaveâN with Xavier is âa bullet to the headâ whilst her reaction to attending with Tyler is to immediately start looking for a dress in her closet. She often seeks out his company when she doesnât really have a reason to, like when she went through the trouble of going all the way to the Weathervane to ask Tyler about the meetinghouse instead just asking anyone else working at Pilgrim World. These small details are to me the âsignalsâ Tyler was referring to. And I think he also just felt the energy between them, or maybe when youâre a 16 year old boy, most things can be interpreted as âsignalsâ if thereâs an interest on his part. Or it was just straight up manipulation, as Hunter stated on his instragram. Either way, we canât deny that Wednesday seems to enjoy Tylerâs presence more than Xavierâs.
Speaking of Wednesday, this is WEDNESDAY ADDAMS. People claim Xavier is the âhealthier choiceâ, which might be true for any other character. But I feel like itâs very OOC for Wednesday to choose one above the other for being âhealthierâ, not that I believe Xavier would be much healthier. Wednesday went as far as canonically confirming that Tyler is her type BECAUSE heâs a serial killing monster.
The Addamsâ Family have a long history of embracing all things weird and unconventional. Fester would be over the moon hearing that a Hyde of all outcasts (his young crush) has captured Wednesdayâs heart. Gomez and Morticia would be more than happy to give Tyler all the love and security he never got from his own family. Morticia smiles fondly when Pugsley mentions missing being waterboarded by Wednesday, I donât think she would have any trouble embracing a traumatized outcast submitted to abuse and torture and then forced to do someone elseâs bidding against their will. She mama-bear instincts would kick up.
Hunter Doohan also said that one of the things he looks forward to exploring in season 2 (now confirmed, yay!) is Tylerâs relationship with the Hyde, pulling each side. Who is the real Tyler and who is the Hyde? Does he have active control over the Hydeâs actions or are they all controlled by his master? Remember, we technically have no idea what Tyler did of his own free will and what he was forced to say and do (including that last fight in ep 8). I imagine the Hyde being more of a split personality rather just than man vs monster. The question is if only the Hyde-personality had access to his monster form.
We see that Tyler rebelled against Laurel when he could, when he wasnât actively forced to do something. For example when he slipped Wednesday the police file (if we believe that theory) and when he chose to keep Eugene alive (Laurel said âtake care of itâ, clearly meaning âkill himâ but since she never used the word âkillâ, I believe he saw his chance). He also keeps pointing Wednesday in the right direction, even when he probably wasnât supposed to according to his master, like when he helped her find the meeting house, helped her break into Laurelâs home, chased her and Enid into the basement where they could find more clues.
Grooming, abuse, torture, manipulation, and mind control!!! Need I say more? Tyler is a true victim of his circumstances and society. We must admit that it was pretty easy for Laurel to sink her claws into him. Lonely, traumatized boy with one dead parent and one to emotionally constipated to raise him through his trauma, and here comes Laurel and offers him the truth about his mother in exchange for mommy kink sexual advances until she kidnaps him to torture as she pleases in a cave. She basically presented herself as the sexual version of his mother that Freud loved to say young boys were so vulnerable to. Of course this lonely boy would fall for her act. Laurel even described herself as a plant metaphor in episode 4: some carnivorous varieties use sexual trickery or deception. She then made him think this entire nefarious plan was about him getting revenge on the way outcasts treated his mother.
We see Tyler screaming out for help, subtly and literally, when he tells Wednesday that he wants to âget out of this hellhole townâ and later when heâs screaming in the bathtub in ep 3.
The writers keep mentioning Wylerâs âprimal attractionâ and how Wednesday is drawn to Tylerâs dark side even from the start when she didnât know what he was. And I truly believe he feels the same way, he is so smitten when she states she would dump piranhas in the swimming pool again. They are both attracted to the darker aspects of their personalities, whereas I feel like Xavier has this romanticized view of Wednesday in his head and when she disproves that by being her morbid, honest self, his first instinct is to whine and feel sorry for himself. He doesnât embrace every part of her character.
Netflix makes Wyler a large part of their promotion of the show, going as far as pinning Wyler-positive comments on Instagram and making Wyler at the dance their thumbnail for the show on Netflix and hyping Hunter Doohan in general.
If you compare Wyler and Wavier scenes, they tend to play very soft music and use soft/warm lighting during the Wyler scenes. Wavier scenes, sometimes have this too, but never as prominent as with Wyler. From what Iâve seen with other media, that is usually foreshadowing of the producersâ larger plan.
I have a Filler Couple Theory! And that is that the couple that becomes canon in the middle of a showâs entire runtime is almost never canon by the time the show ends. There are exceptions, of course. But generally, shows tend to follow a similar format: couple 1 is introduced as an idea in season 1, they may or may not become canon but the tension is there, for whatever reason couple 2 becomes canon in season 2/3 to create drama and more tension before couple one becomes endgame in season 3/3 (example Stancy in ST, Benvi in NHIE). An exception to this rule is if couple one is a blowburn over several seasons without a love triangle (example: Peraltiago in B99). The writers of Wednesday have planned 4 seasons. They end season 1 with Wyler broken up, hint that Wavier might take more precedence in season 2, and yet still keeps hyping Wyler as much as they do. I think Wavier will be a distraction/filler for Wednesday as Tyler regains her trust and they build so much sexual tension.
So, this was long and kind of all over the place. But as Enid, I write in my voice. And I will admit that some of these points may be down to pure manipulation on Tylerâs part, especially the signals thing. But part of what I love about this show is the ambiguity, the moral grey areas, the way they make a point of embracing the dark side of humanity and loving the characters through it. Until the show canonically confirms that there is no hope for Tyler/Wyler, I will continue to ship it. And I want to add that my will to ship Wyler has nothing to do with who I would personally choose for myself. If given the choice, I would date Enid before my mind could form the phrase âtoxic relationshipâ, and Iâm very much one of those boring straight people. But as a romantic partner for a dark, morbid character like Wednesday Addams, I would choose Tyler any day.
