just bc <3

♥ Enid is usually the little spoon because Wednesday feels claustrophobic if she's fully embraced for too long.

♥ Wednesday's love language is acts of service, and Enid's is physical touch and words of affirmation. They work on little compromises to make sure each is getting what they need!

♥ Enid thrives when trying new things, and Wednesday prefers a routine (though she doesn't mind as much when Enid is the one to disrupt it. If Ajax did what Enid has done, there would be one less Gorgon at Nevermore). Their latest adventure included a day-long tour of the Addams Family Mansion and Cemetary, which Enid embraced as quickly as she could (she's still scared of spiders, but Wednesday is working on that). It helped Wednesday with her love of familiarity, and it allowed Enid to enjoy something new.

♥ Over time, they work out systems to help Wednesday communicate more comfortably. This includes verbal and nonverbal rituals. On stressful days, Enid will usually make gestures for physical things, and Wednesday will nod yes or no (it's usually yes, she starts to use her girlfriend's hugs as mini recharges, but she usually passes on public kisses, unless they're on the cheek).

♥ Wednesday writes poems and other short, formal pieces for Enid (she knows her girl loves sweet nothings, and she inherited her father's penchant for flattery. Wednesday will never admit this). She seals them carefully, each a perfectly pressed black wax seal with her initials. Enid carefully pulls the seals off and keeps them in the top drawer of her nightstand. The letters stay in the bottom drawer, under a hidden panel. She knows Wednesday would die if anyone else read her letters full of feelings.

♥ Enid always plans little dates and lets Wednesday know in advance so she can fit them into her routine. She also fixates on brewing coffee so Wednesday doesn't have to to go the Weathervane for her quads. Enid eventually begins making specialty drinks like over-the-top hot cocoa and such for herself, but she always offers some to Wednesday, who usually takes a polite sip.

♥ While cuddling in Enid's bed after a slow make-out sesh, Wednesday admits that some of Enid's room decor actually hurts her eyes. The next morning, Enid swapped those pieces (a neon green tapestry and a bright orange lamp) for similar items in more pastel hues.

♥ Since their beds are so small, they sleep separately. Whenever they want to cuddle (or other things) more comfortably, they'll push their beds together and zip-tie the legs so they won't come apart (it was Enid's idea. Wednesday appreciates her deviance rubbing off on her girlfriend).

Xavier Thrope is the definition of “tell, don’t show” and it’s about time we talk about it

Is this another essay that nobody will read on why Xavier needs much improvement for season two of Wednesday? Yes, yes it is.

Now sit down and listen this has kept me up all night.

Since watching Wednesday I have spent a lot of time thinking on each character and my personal interpretation and opinions on them, and as I’ve been doing this I’ve come to realise that Xavier is by far the weakest character in the show and the conclusion I’ve come up with to why I believe this is because the writers always tell us what we’re supposed to see him as rather than show us.

Let's begin with what we know of any trauma he might have.

In episode four we learn that Tyler and some of his friends assaulted and ruined Xavier's mural the year before, and for something that most shows will show as a serious show of character, the writers of Wednesday play this event down a lot.

We don’t even get to hear what happened in Xavier's own words, we have no way of knowing how bad it was or how it affected Xavier, all we know is that it was bad enough for Tyler to have to go to a Bootcamp and court sentenced therapy, but in the same breath, our main protagonist also has to go to court sentenced therapy for what she did in the opening scene of the show, something that they then actually compare the assault to in the same scene. We hear more about it from Tyler than we do from Xavier and then it becomes a cute “we’re not so different” scene for Tyler and Wednesday. Wednesday even calls it a “lousy prank.”

In fact, this is so played down that I forgot that it was even that bad. I just remembered it as them ruining his mural and not the assault to the fact that I disregarded it in my last long post about Xavier’s character.

Now, Xavier isn’t the only character to have a traumatic past that’s barely mentioned in the show.

Tyler was groomed and manipulated by Mrs Thornhill, and similar to Xavier's past we don’t hear about it through Tyler, we hear about it through Wednesday, but the show goes in a different and much better direction when handling Tyler.

While Wednesday is explaining how Tyler was treated, we see glimpses and flashbacks to how Mrs Thornhill treated him and how he was hurt by her to become what he was.

There’s no dialogue in this section and it’s never brought up again but clearly, it is much more affected by getting through to the viewers just what Tyler has been through. We saw him chained up, how his mum was used against him, and how Mrs Thornhill was inappropriate with him and it had a much more lasting effect on us because we saw it, also because we saw the consequences of what had happened.

Another example of the writer’s using small flashbacks is with Wednesday when she tells the story of her old pet scorpion who died. It’s another non-dialogue flashback with Wednesday explaining what happened over it and again, helping us understand Wednesday more. She explains that her scorpion dying is the reason why she doesn’t cry so when we see her tear up when Thing nearly dies it adds to the scene because we have a better understanding of how much Thing nearly dying affected her.

With Xavier, the writers could’ve shown us how he has been affected by what happened but they don’t. It doesn’t seem to have any lasting effect on him other than him disliking Tyler (not even hate, just dislike) and that’s played off as just casually jealousy because Wednesday likes Tyler and not him.

Just something as little as those things with Xavier could’ve gone a long way in helping us understand his character a little bit more.

Because this happens a lot with him.

I mentioned this in my last post but for anyone reading this who hasn’t read that, Xavier’s daddy issues are another thing that is told to us and not shown.

All we know about Xavier's dad is that he is a famous seer and that he and Xavier have a rocky relationship.

Xavier isn’t the only character in the show to have parental issues, in fact, three of my favourite characters, Edin, Tyler and Bianca, also have plot lines including their parents, but the difference with these arcs is that we see how Edin, Tyler and Bianca’s relationships with their parents are, we don’t see this with Xavier.

The reasoning for why we don’t see Xavier interact with his father is that he doesn’t show up for parent day, something that is implied to be a habit of his, but that doesn’t mean that we couldn’t see anything. Something as small as seeing one side of an ending phone conversation with his dad at the beginning of a scene could’ve done a lot to give us a good indication of what he was dealing with, but instead, we are only told through small comments about what their relationship is like.

Ajax also mentions Xavier's dad during episode three, he tells Edin about how Xavier is super competitive and that he thinks it’s because he has a lot of pressure on him because his dad is famous.

This is actually an interesting concept to have and explore and the pressure that Xavier feels could explain a lot of his most unlikeable traits, those being his constant jealousy and need to be liked. But that’s as far as they go with it. Such an interesting interpretation gets overlooked by the fact that it’s sandwiched between Edin and Ajax’s developing relationship. You don’t leave that scene thinking about Xavier and his father, you leave it being excited to see Ajax and Edin on a date (or dread, depending on who you ship.)

Speaking of ships of course I’m going to talk about Xavier and Wednesday because the writers do this to them also.

Something that I’ve realised about Xavier and Wednesday's relationship is that there's a bit of back and forth between them but not really and that does them more harm than good.

Let me explain.

In episode four Xavier gets mad at Wednesday for snooping around his art and then for the duration of episode five they don’t talk. But then in episode six Xavier is just casually at her birthday party as if nothing ever happened at all.

Later in the episode, Wednesday tells him that she “didn’t know we were on speaking terms” and Xavier responds with “Me showing up to your surprise party should've been a hint.”

But the question is, why? Why did Xavier decide to forgive Wednesday? What changed for him to not be mad anymore? Cause she didn’t apologise or do anything to try to make up for hurting his feelings. He just disappeared for the majority of episode five as we focused more on the Addams family itself and then came back all ready to be friends.

And then he gets annoyed at Wednesday for still not being ready to speak to him (her words) because she still thinks he’s the monster. Now his being upset over her suspecting him is valid, but why did he think she would’ve changed her mind when nothing changed between the last time they spoke.

Xavier gets annoyed with Wednesday a lot in the series (mostly for good reasons) but then suddenly resets and decides that he wants to be her friend again despite the fact that nothing has changed. I feel like that's what gets me so much about his character. He says after being arrested that “being your friend should come with a warning label” when Wednesday has never tried to be anything she’s not. She has not been a friend to Xavier until the last moments of the final episode.

Compare this to Edin who also has a falling out with Wednesday during the season.

Edin gets mad at Wednesday and moves out of their room in episode six, they then have another argument at the beginning of episode seven, in the same episode Wednesday has a conversation with Mrs Thornhill about her relationship with Edin and how much they helped each other (we can assume she had a similar conversation with Edin but that’s unconfirmed.) Then, at the end of the episode, Edin moves back in and the two of them have a conversation about why. Edin tells Wednesday that she decided not to room with Yoko because she needed more boundaries and tells Wednesday that ”we work.” Wednesday also admits to “evolving” when she tells Edin to skip the tape. Edin says that she won’t apologise for all of the things Wednesday said about her during their second argument and Wednesday accepts that.

See, with the conflict between Wednesday and Edin, they have communication to get through it. Mrs Thornhill helps open Wednesday's eyes about how much of an impact Edin has on her and Edin explains why she has decided to forgive Wednesday.

With Xavier and Wednesday, we see non of this. Xavier doesn’t explain why he’s ready to speak with her now (not that Wednesday ever asks) and Wednesday never accepts that she was “wrong” (wrong in Edin's case being Wednesday being annoyed at her habits and in Xavier's case that he was the monster.) They go from “Xavier has an obvious crush on Wednesday while Wednesday thinks he’s the monster,” to “Xavier is upset with Wednesday because she thinks he’s the monster” back to “Xavier has an obvious crush on Wednesday while Wednesday thinks he’s the monster,” with no in between or any development. We have no indication of why Xavier just magically decided to forgive Wednesday when circumstances haven't changed.

And no, it's not love. Nobody in this show is in love yet, feelings are there for sure but feeling that you just developed for a girl who has been nothing but neglectful, disrespectful and rude to you can and should go away. (and they definitely shouldn’t be a reason why you would put up with this disrespect and rudeness.)

So yeah, as much as Xavier is my least favourite character I wish we would’ve gotten more scenes of him during the fallout, having a bit more of Xavier in episode five, seeing as it is parent's day and his dad is visibly absent.

In fact, the only storyline containing Xavier where we are shown and not told is his past relationship with Bianca and that only paints him in a bad light.

I truly do believe that just some small changes to how we are presented Xavier could make him such a more interesting a likeable character especially considering we have characters like Wednesday and Tyler who are more well-received despite the fact that they have both done terrible things, we understand them a little more because the show has shown us what they have been through and how it affected them.

I really hope they do better with Xavier in season two, especially if he’s getting more screen time then he did in season one.

little side note if you want to read by other long ass post about Xavier you can find that one here :)

After binge-watching the Wednesday series it took less than 24 hours for Tumblr to fill my For You page with Wednesday content.

I am both confused and delightfully amused at the complete 180 from anime content- that is all

Hi my name is Ace and I just finished Wednesday and need to rant about Xavier

Xavier was by far my least favourite character on the show for multiple reasons and I need to rant about it so here is a long ass rant about why I dislike him, why I think he and Wednesday will never work and how I think the writers could improve his character next season.

If you like Xavier feel free to read this and give your view just don't be rude, please :)

Firstly he is the most boring character on the show. He literally has nothing going on.

Firstly I dislike the “small American town stereotype” that he is, that being the tortured artist. This is a personal opinion but it’s been done so many times before and these characters have always gotten on my nerves the most. To me, Xavier is no different and n my mind he’s just Jughead Jones with a paintbrush.

The main arc that Xavier has throughout the season is that Wednesday thinks that Xavier is the hyde, but in the end its nothing, Xavier was telling the truth the entire time and has nothing to hide therefore we spent all of this time trying to figure out what he was hiding only to realise that he wasn’t hiding anything at all. If Xavier had something else to hide then the reveal could’ve made his character more interesting but because there was nothing he lost any potential he originally had.

Compare this to Tyler (which I will be doing a lot, sorry) who also had an arc focused on mystery, we knew something was up with Tyler's mum but not what, similarly to how we knew something was up with Xavier and his paintings and inconvenient coincidences, however with Tyler the payoff worked. Tyler was hiding something, there was more to his character than we originally thought and that reveal added layers to his character from being a small-town barista to a serial killing monster. Xavier is the same person at the end of the season then he is at the start, even being framed and arrested didn’t develop him in any way.

Another thing that Xavier is going through is the troubles he has with his dad, but we don’t really know anything about that. We know that his dad is a famous seer and that Xavier has daddy issues but that’s it. A lot of the characters in the show have struggled with their parents, the difference with Xavier is that we don't see those struggles play out. We see all of the other characters interact with their families so we can get a true sense of what they’re dealing with but all we get from Xavier is him sulking in a corner. Now I understand that one of Xavier's and his dad's hardships is that he doesn't show up but then I would’ve wanted them to use another way of showing us more about their dynamic. Maybe just hearing one side of a phone conversation would’ve done more to show what their relationship is like rather than just being told by Xavier.

They could be teasing Xavier and his dad for season two but if that's the case then they did a bad job at it because I do not care about Xavier or his dad at all.

My main point is that when there are plotlines like the hyde or Bianca’s mums cult or Enid not being able to wolf out or the Gates family, Xavier was the character I was the least interested in, especially when it was at a point where it would be too obvious if he did end up being the hyde.

Of course, I have to talk about the love triangle when talking about Xavier's character because it took up a big part of his screen time.

I do want to start by saying that this is probably not an unbiased opinion as I am a Tyler and Wednesday shipper but I will try to look at both sides as I can.

Firstly let's get the “who was the most creepy” argument out of the way. I don’t really believe that either of them was creepy in a sense.

The worst Tyler did was told Wednesday that he felt like she was giving him signs when she obviously wasn’t. I’ve seen people say that if this was Xavier then more people would call him creepy and I do agree with this but mostly because you have to look at the context in which Tyler is saying it.

Tyler was wrong, Wednesday was not giving him any signs at all but at this point in the show Tyler is deliberately inserting himself into Wednesday's life to gain her trust, therefore it is very possible that Tyler knew he was wrong and was doing this to manipulate her or at least to put the idea of them being romantic into her head. Later on in the scene, he asks her if she’s just using him as a pawn in her game and as a viewer, I was fully expecting her to tell him that she was, but she doesn’t and instead tells him that she had priorities rather then just turning him down.

Everyone has their own opinion about whether Tyler really cared for Wednesday or not and how much of what he said was genuine. In my opinion, he started out purely trying to manipulate her but started to catch feelings as they started to spend more time together, similar to how Wednesday started out only using Tyler to later catch feelings for him.

Xavier is different. Xavier doesn’t have any ulterior motives regarding his feelings towards Wednesday, so if it was Xavier who said this, it would be in a different context.

In theory, Xavier cares more for Wednesday, but that doesn't mean he’s a better fit for her.

My main criticism of their relationship is that Xavier just doesn’t get her like other characters do. I have three examples of this.

The first is when he suggests that Wednesday should join the secret society despite the fact that it seems to be led by Bianca who Wednesday hates and the fact that it’s a social club when Wednesday doesn’t like socialising. He then proceeded to get mad at her because he “stuck his neck out for her” when she declines.

Another example is at the dance where Xavier tells Wednesday that Tyler ruined his mural as a warning that she should stay away from him. Indicating that he thought that telling her this would make her back off of Tyler when really her response to this was “I would’ve done worse.” Keep in mind that this is Wednesday Addams we’re talking about. She once said that she would hate to be done for attempted murder because then everyone would know she failed, why Xavier thought that she would care about his mural is beyond me honestly, I actually find it quite funny how he thought that would do anything.

My third example is to be determined really but him giving her a phone at the end of the season I feel is another example if him not really understanding her. Wednesday says that she “doesn’t want to be a slave to technology” and throughout the season that never changes, she is never seemed to be lacking without a phone. The whole wanting to keep in touch is understandable but I think it could’ve worked better if Xavier had given her a flip phone or something like that. A way for them to keep in touch without having it be modern technology like an iPhone. (Also saving money in Xavier's case)

(Side note: I actually think that scene could’ve worked a lot better if it has been Edin giving Wednesday the flip phone rather than Xavier. It seems like something she would do and I do believe that if she was to get Wednesday a phone she would get her a flip phone rather than an iPhone.)

Compare these situations to Tyler playing Legally Blonde as a scary movie because he knew that she would hate the film and like that she hated the film (manipulation or not, he still understood her enough to manipulate her well)

The main thing that Xavier had against Tyler is that Tyler is obviously the villain but again this is Wednesday Addams and as toxic as Tyler is Wednesday is just as bad.

If the writers do it right they can have an amazing lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers arc with maybe the whole “only I can kill you” vibe. Idk but dating a serial killing monster seems right up Wednesday's alley (even she says it.)

For Xavier and Wednesday to work for me they’ll have to make Xavier more interesting and lean more into Wednesday’s vibe. With Edin and Wednesday, they’re opposites attract and with Tyler and Wednesday they’re two sides of the same coin. To me, Xavier is just somewhere in the middle and has the most boring dynamic out of the three of them.

I’ve seen a lot of people online refer to Xavier and Wednesday as sunshinexmidnightrain or goldenretrieverxblackcat but I’m sorry they’re simply not.

Xavier is not sunshine. He is the tortured artist with daddy issues. He is constantly complaining or jealous, he gets worked up easily and spends the majority of his time painting monsters in a shed. How is that sunshine?

Edin is sunshine. She is always smiling and full of energy, she is social and tries to look on the positive side of every situation. We do see Edin get upset or mad during the show but it takes a lot to get her to reach her breaking point. If the writers are going for sunshinexmidnightrain for Wednesday's love interest they’re looking at the wrong character.

Speaking of Xavier's constant sulking that is something else I really dislike about him.

There's one scene during the dance that really gets to me. When everyone is dancing and having a good time before it cuts to Xavier and Bianca. Bianca is dancing a little in her seat and smiling, still obviously at least trying to have a good time while Xavier is sitting next to her angry that Wednesday came to the dance without someone else and then has the nerve to ask Bianca to erase his feelings for Wednesday.

That was the scene that put me off Xavier completely and despite the fact that he did apologise it was just such a dick move to make and I especially felt bad for Bianca in that scene.

Another thing that annoyed me was him always bringing up the fact that he saved Wednesday’s life at the beginning of the season and acting almost as if she was in debt to him because of this. Wednesday made it clear that she is not thankful so I don't know why he kept pushing it.

( I feel like someone will bring up Tyler telling Wednesday that she owed him a date because he nearly got killed to which I will again remind everyone that Tyler is the villain and needed to distract Wednesday so again, the context is different)

(I am also realising how hard it is to compare two men's actions when one of them has been genuine the entire time and nobody knows if the other was genuine at all)

Now I’m sure this may seem hypocritical calling Xavier a dick for the way he acted while Tyler is the full-on villain of the show but to me, there is a big difference between a good person and a good character and a lot of that relies on how the audience is supposed to view them.

Tyler is not a good person (if he’s fully aware of everything that he’s done and doesn’t care. With Tyler, there is the tricky subject of the fact that he was also manipulated and groomed to become what he was) but he is a good character. He’s the villain, we’re not supposed to condone his actions, similar to Wednesday and her actions. Both of them are not painted to be your typical good guys but Xavier is.

Xavier isn’t the only character like this, Edin and Ajax I will also say are supposed to be seen in a good light. Not only by the viewers but by the other characters.

Also, Wednesday is a show where little moments like that between Xavier and Bianca are bigger tells of character than murder. A character could murder someone in the show and I wouldn’t care but smaller things between characters who are supposed to be seen as good I take note of.

I don't know if that last part made sense but in my head, it does so sorry if it's just gibberish.

In conclusion, Xavier just doesn't have anything going on for him that other characters can’t so better and in a more fun way. I can see the writers going with Xavier and Wednesday as endgame but I really hope they don’t consider the number of possibilities they have with other characters.

Jenna Ortega said that she would want them to have more of a siblings relationship and I can really see that happening in the next season, considering they’re about to take some time away from each other and Wednesday never confirmed any feelings for him the writers could make his crush on her fade over time and have them become really good friends.

I can see myself liking Xavier in future seasons but they have to give him a proper arc that's unique to his character, rather than a tortured artist with daddy issues who has a crush on the new girl.

idk if anyone will both to read all of that but if you did congrats and thank you
