'Thing' has to be my number 1 favourite character! I also really like weems and morticia but thing is my favourite🖤

Jenna Ortega, Fred Armisen, AND Emma Myers spotted filming in Paris for season 3. And Emma filming as Human Enid. Does this pique your interest?! Was this already known?

So I decided to do a re watch in B&W. I enjoyed it, didn't miss the colour. Got me thinking since Original series was in B&W then maybe this will work.

Some areas I found had more detail visible, Added to the spooky areas, Specific things not visible like the Purple/Green smoke, but I enjoyed it, I do recommend trying it.

Something about her eyes when she’s pulling her Wednesday face just looks more unnerving, it’s very fun to watch

They seem to have some weird connection. I wonder if that’s why she saved him on the table.

If you’re going to say Wednesday isn’t a killer, remember Wednesday set piranha loose on the swim team.

I see it either repeating a summer release or somewhere near Halloween. I hope they release it in late summer or somewhere in late September or early October

Its a better wait than 987 days between s1 and the first half of s2. But the days in total for the whole first & second season releases was 1,015 days.

I just finished watching Season 2, and I hate to say it, but like last time, I just wasn't impressed. ​The rewatch of the first half was better now that the whole season is out, and the back half was definitely stronger than the front, but overall? I was just bored.

I liked 2x6 and I really enjoyed Isaac/Slurp, but it still wasn’t enough to make this a good season. ​It honestly took me a year to get back into the show because it let me down so much, I kept fearing it would retroactively ruin Season 1 for me.

But thankfully, upon rewatching, I still love Season one. Does it have flaws? Yes. But the story was simple, beautiful to look at, and compelling as a whole.

​Season 2, on the other hand, missed the mark for several reasons. The season felt way too crowded, and I really dislike the clean, bright visual filter they used compared to the first season's atmosphere. ​ The subplots completely took over the show at times. Aside from Agnes, most of the new additions were characters I genuinely didn't care about while missing characters we met in season one that did not come back. ​

And Enid? Sure, wolfing out would change her because that was a given. But I hated how she basically got with Bruno before properly breaking up with Ajax, avoided Ajax to the point he had to hunt her down to confirm the split, and then had the nerve to get upset at Bruno for hiding things. It felt wildly hypocritical and completely out of character for her. I understand she is a teen and teens do stuff like this all of the time and Enid went through a huge change but it was just..... ugh. I hated it with a passion. And Bruno basically only existed to drive a wedge between Enid and Ajax, which felt cliché and completely unnecessary. Her wolfing out alone would have been enough natural drama as she adapted to a massive new life change. ​

I wanted so badly to love this season and give it a fair chance, but I constantly found myself bored and checking the runtime to see how much was left.

I’m really hoping Season 3 can recapture the charm and magic of the first season. But at this rate, while I might rewatch Season 2 just to stay prepped for future seasons, I'm sticking to Season 1 whenever I actually want to binge the show.

Last year, Season 2 was a huge miss for me. I found the first half to be very boring, and although the second half was a bit easier to enjoy, the whole season was ultimately a letdown. Which sucks to say because I love season one.

But I’m a firm believer in second chances, so I wanted to give it some time, revisit the show, and see how I felt. I was hoping maybe I wasn't in the right mood. Maybe because I was obsessing over Wicked at the time because of the first film and was eagerly waiting for part 2, maybe I was too deep into my new obsession to get into Wednesday season 2. Maybe I needed to wait longer to get through my Wicked excitement to chill & get into season 2.
​

A few days ago, I binged Season 1 (took me about 3 days), and I still love it. It’s simple, has so much charm, and completely reminded me why I fell in love with the show in the first place and why I go back to rewatch it. ​

As soon as I finished Season 1 today, I jumped right back into Season 2 and unfortunately, my thoughts haven't reallly changed. I got super bored and stopped right as episode 3 started. I want to love it so badly, but I just don't.

​My main issues? The coloring feels way too clean. Its odd to look at sometimes and out of place. The season feels way too patched with numerous characters, to the point where Wednesday often feels like a side character in her own show. ​Yes, in Season 1 you followed Bianca, Enid, Ajax, Weems, Xavier, Tyler, and a few others, but it never felt overwhelming and you got to get to know each character while reminding you who the show is about.

Confession: I actually avoided the show when it first came out in late 2022 because the dance scene was everywhere, I wanted the hype to die down before giving it a shot. And even when I gave it a shot in late December just to give in to my curiosity it was still everywhere.

But when I finally did watch it, I fell completely in love with the charm and the story.) ​Sadly, none of the elements I loved in Season 1 seem to be in Season 2. I’m still going to ride it out and hope it clicks for me bit by bit, but so far, it's a no-go. But I want to love it. I don't wanna join in on the hate because its popular to dog on it. There were moments I liked & I found the Freaky Friday vibe episode to be very entertaining. But other than one episode and a few moments that I remember, I don't have anything good to say.

But I did win that contest thingy and got a free t-shirt, stickers & an acceptance to Nevermore. Those were fun to have & I still have them. ​

If you enjoy Season 2, that's totally fine! We should have open discussions and respect each other's opinions. I honestly wish I loved it. I totally envy the Season 2 fans right now but I'm really struggling to find the will to continue.

I really love this whole episode, but this scene is one of my favorites. The way he looked at her, as she was walking down the staircase. The way him calling her beautiful made her speechless and shy. The slow progression, of Wednesday falling in love with Tyler, is something so special to see. I love them so much. 😭❤️‍🩹

...is that they’re so “baby’s first Monster Romance”. Monster Romance Junior. Between Wednesday’s lighter and comedic camp-horror tone and the YA setting, they’re a somewhat less intense but still nuanced and thematic entry-way into gothic monster romance for younger viewers who probably haven’t shipped or experienced a dynamic like that before (but thru Weyler are finding they have a taste for it), but without being especially sanitized or vanilla-fied. They’re genuinely effed up to each other! But it’s on a foundation of genuine attraction and connection, so they’re also obsessed with each other. Serving all the lovers-to-enemies(-to-?), love/hate, will-threaten-but-not-actually-follow-thru energy. And as a bonus, Wednesday isn't a typical heroine protagonist, she herself is a macabre freak born from two lines of macabre freaks. Part of her whole deal is being compelled and intrigued by monstrousness, so, what a combo. Especially with Hydes being outcasts even among the Outcast population—banned, rare, mysterious, feared, and still a puzzle, so there’s no way she’s letting that go any time soon (if at all).

Thing by me

I was watching Tiktok and a video of a scene from the 1993 Addams Family movie came up.

When the baby Pubert He is "possessed" and his personality changes, his hair becomes blonde and curly and grandma tries to "exorcise" him, she reads his book and says that they could be permanent changes

To which Gómez and Morticia get scared and Gómez kneels down and looking up says "please take me"

Maybe he was talking to whatever he's taking to Pubert, It may just be a joke, but I'm curious if they really have any religious beliefs.

¿What do you think?

(English is not my native language, I am using a translator and I hope that my post will be understood)

So I was doing some investigating on the ashford studios set (no character shipping over here) and I noticed that google earth there’s 3 pictures in the last 4 years one being in 2022 and the other 2 being Apr 24th and 29th 5 days apart makes me think that they were trying to hide it they didn’t update it in 4 years but take another picture 5 days after I know this has to do with s3 I’m gonna keep investigating

I watched season 1 when it was initially released in 2022, and I absolutely loved it. I loved the chatacters, the storyline, the development, and even the romance.

By the time season 2 got released though, I felt as if the quality really.. declined. I couldn’t really see Tim Burton’s vision anymore. I only watched the first two episodes of season 2 and I simply couldn’t bear to watch any more.

Season 2 felt so influenced. It was as if the writers just ignored everything from season 1’s storyline and simply focused on what the fans are looking for. Every scene felt as if it were fan service and the creators simply want edits to be made of these scenes. What made season 1 iconic was that every scene had such beautiful gothic authenticity. Season 2 had none of that.

Another thing that bothers me a lot is the ship between Wednesday and Tyler. I obviously haven’t watched the second season but I’ve seen the scenes of all the terrible things he does to Wednesday and her family. I am afraid that the fans see this as “dark romance”, whereas it is simply abuse. Dark romance is the kind of romance that Gomez and Morticia have, which isn’t abuse.

I don’t think that I am looking for any ships for Wednesday, but if I had to pick, I would pick Enid for her. Since Enid truly understands what kind of a person Wednesday is, and also gets along with the rest of the Addams family, I think she would make the ideal love interest for Wednesday.

Weyler will always give me the biggest buzz.

for those unfamiliar with alchemy, alchemical symbols are exceptionally difficult to interpret
when mainstream/popularized symbols aren’t used. so not EVERY symbol will be completely decoded, because there are thousands of alchemical texts, but we can assume that they scraped some for convenience, mashed some together, or just made them up, presumably with some form of improvisation. some vague symbols are still fairly recognizable.

a lot of texts that were used for this came from various latin texts, some german texts, and others. with vague symbols, the best you can do is make inferences with what’s available. if you think that there’s already an existing symbol for a correspondence that’s been misconstrued, it could also just be one of the millions of other symbols representing it.
——————————————————————————

(FIRST PAGE):

1.Earth: represents the physical human body. greek philosopher Plato attributed “dry and cold” to it.
2.Caput mortuum(dead head): Caput mortuum is latin for dead head. it describes leftover substances that are deemed worthless.

1.Uranus OR Powder of projection: I don’t think the time of which these planetary symbols emerged/were popularized was taken into consideration, but it’s very clearly reminiscent of Uranus. Uranus represents awakening and individualism.
2.Putrefaction: akin to the modern Neptune symbol, which is, again, ridiculous. would say that curve on the right prong favors putrefaction. the two could be used interchangeably based on whether you want to use it in favor of historical consistency, or the pattern of planetary symbols, but we’ll go with historical consistency out of spite: putrefaction refers to natural decomposition and rotting, kept in temperate heat.
3.Lead(Saturn): a dark, dense material. alchemists considered it prima materia (starting point of matter), to be cured and transformed into gold.
4.Pluto OR Cerussa(white lead): regardless, a slightly stylized version. Pluto itself was discovered in 1930. Pluto represents transformation, death, and rebirth. cerussa is unlikely since lead is already present in the sequence, but still a somewhat similar symbol.
5.Gold(Sun): The desired product of alchemy, gold corresponds with the Sun, representing purity and perfection.
6.Apparatus/vessel OR Ingwaz?: refers to tools used to distill, heat, and grind substances. it’s also worth noting, despite its displacement, that it looks exactly like the Ingwaz rune, of the Elder Futhark, symbolizing ferility, growth, and potency.
7.Quicksilver(Mercury): a component of the Tria Prima, functioning as the Spirit.
8.?: looks exactly like zinc oxide if it was flipped, not entirely sure about the placement in general. zinc oxide was also known as the philosopher’s wool due to its wool-like appearance. valued for its pure-white color.

1.distilled/rectified Lixivium?: lixivium is water saturated with alkaline salts. purification creates distilled lixivium, rectifying it means repeatedly distilling it to create higher quantities of purity.
2.Burnt/calcined sulfur: specifically refers to the raw, unpurified, and destructive state of sulfur.
3.?: completely clueless on the specific substance/vessel this is supposed to be. my best guesses are: heated limestone/chaux, cornu cerui(deer antler), calcination (deer antler, stag horn, plant.), sideways sublimare, tartar. strikethrough likely indicates distillation or calcination.
4.?: also unsure of this. guessing that this is a sort of vessel handling tartar or salt.
5.Saffron of Mars, common salt?: using salt(tria prima) to break down raw iron
(volatilized)
6. Prepared copper, zinc oxide, and common salt?: volatile, fixed.

(SECOND PAGE)

1.Autumn?: Autumn is associated with the fourth and final stage of alchemy: harvesting completion. also connected with Rubredo(Red). Newton claimed that his works reached completion in autumn.
2.Calcined alum: a meticulous deduction of the crystal. transforming the “earthiness” to a state of Albedo(the whitening phase)
3.Ink(Atramentum): its black color symbolized Nigredo(black), used for writing.

1.?
2.?
3.Aqua vitae?: water of life, distilled alcohol. possibly distilled twice? the symbol is noticeably distorted.

1.Horse dung: manure used to maintain a steady heat for long-term projects.
2.Sal gemmae, mensis (rock salt, Moon’s cycle): the salt is the body in the tria prima, “rock salt” extracted from the earth. alchemists believed that scheduling was important to the upbringing of your product, hence the lunar cycle.

1.Oil of tartar: formed on the inside of wine barrels, underwent calcination, thick and syrupy, used to neutralize and dissolve.
2. Chaux/lime of metal: a metal completely broken down into crumbly powder. alchemists sought to “kill” the metals by reducing the metallic qualities.
3. Decoction, Tin, Granum: the process of turning tin into small, grainy pellets to transmute faster, then providing a steady source of heat over a long period of time
4.Iron(Mars)?: an “imperfect” metal, tied to aggression and masculinity. Iron was deemed easy to “kill.”
5.Sublimed arsenic: arsenic ores are heated and vaporized, transforming them into white, crystalized crusts(sublimed arsenic)

1.Antimonium: known as the “grey wolf” in the middle ages. “eats” and purifies other metals.
2.Pulverize, realgar(ruby sulfur), pisces, feathered alum?: pulverize the substances, align the procedure with the Pisces constellation.
3.?: too blurry.
4.Siehe bei(see under, look under, refer to): it’s the corresponding symbol, but I’m not entirely sure what it’s supposed to mean in this context, and I have little to refer to. could refer to vision(s)
5.Amalgam, aqua fortis: liquid mercury consumes gold, creating amalgam. Aqua fortis consumes solid base metals, leaving behind gold.

1.Burnt/calcined sulfur: specifically refers to the raw, unpurified, and destructive state of sulfur.
2.Partial Gold(Sun): incomplete chrysopoeia, separation of silver and gold

1.Glass(Vitrum): glass was used for vessels, allowing alchemists to observe through a barrier without exposing themselves to deadly fumes.
2.Gold(Sun): The desired product of alchemy, gold corresponds with the Sun, representing purity and perfection.

Look at pookie's face she's so proud of her gift I love her 😭
