I don’t even know how to explain this new obsession of mine but Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams has me in a chokehold 🖤 Like, I genuinely don’t understand what it is about her but something about this character has me SO invested.
First of all, her introverted personality. The way she enjoys her own company, doesn’t feel the need to talk just for the sake of talking and genuinely seems unbothered by what other people think of her. She has her own little world her own rules, and absolutely no interest in pretending to be someone she’s not. As an introvert myself there’s something so satisfying about watching a character who doesn’t feel pressured to be loud bubbly or constantly social just to fit in.

AND HER SASSY LITTLE COMMENTS? The way she says the most out-of-pocket things with the straightest face ever. “My cold, black heart” LIKE GIRL??😋 Her sarcasm, her dark humor, her brutally honest responses, and the way she can insult someone without even changing her facial expression.

And can we PLEASE talk about the black outfits? THE BLACK OUTFITS. The gothic aesthetic the braids the pale face, the dark eyes the entire mysterious vibe. She makes wearing black look like a whole personality, and honestly I get it. There’s something so iconic about a character.

But I think what really gets me is how hard she tries to make it seem like she has absolutely NO feelings. Like she acts as if emotions are some embarrassing weakness she wants nothing to do with, and she would rather die than admit she cares about someone. She keeps her face straight, makes sarcastic remarks pushes people away and pretends that nothing gets to her. BUT GIRL WE CAN SEE YOU

She doesn’t need everyone to like her. She doesn’t change her opinions just to make people comfortable and she has this quiet confidence that makes her so interesting to watch.

She can walk into a room full of people and still be completely herself. She doesn’t change her personality just because someone finds her weird, and honestly, I LOVE THAT. As an introvert there’s something so refreshing about a character who doesn’t feel the need to explain her quietness or prove that she’s interesting.
swear

Her expressions are EVERYTHING The side-eyes the blank stares the tiny changes in her face
And Jenna Ortega brings so much personality to Wednesday. The expressions, the tiny changes in her face, the deadpan delivery, the way she communicates an entire paragraph of emotions without actually saying anything. The character wouldn’t feel the same without that performance.

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THIS IS BUT I HAVE A NEW CHARACTER TYPE NOW. Give me the introverted sarcastic emotionally guarded black-wearing brutally honest characters who act like they hate everyone but secretly have a heart. I fear it’s too late for me.
Anyway, Wednesday Addams, you and your cold black heart have officially become my problem 🕷️

In true Wednesday fashion, nothing gets done without a little pain and this is no exception. I finally finished her typewriter while stabbing my fingers every 2 seconds while shoving the pins in 👍 now I finally feel like her closet and desk are complete! Also, here are some pictures I took of the full setup :3 🖤

Yes, I know most of it is probably not the best quality, but I really like it all!!

I'm especially excited about the stickers, because I'm literally a novelist and if I get a laptop for Christmas I can put the "writing time" sticker on there because I will use word on it.

Have a good day everyone!

Does anyone know when Wednesday Season 3 is expected to be released? Do you think it’ll come out by the end of 2026 or in early 2027? I’m curious to hear your theories and predictions🖤

We've already talked quite a bit about mythology in Wednesday, but I was thinking back to the very first episode, and strangely enough, Morticia herself gives us a little hint. When she gives Wednesday the obsidian necklace, she explains that Aztec priests used obsidian to conjure visions. And just as a reminder, the Aztecs lived in what is now Mexico, which also happens to be where Gomez Addams' family has its roots. 😉

So I looked into a few things about Aztec mythology and found some interesting possible connections with the show. Of course, as always, these are just theories. Nothing too serious here.

First, there's their conception of time. In Aztec culture, time was cyclical, with different calendar cycles intertwined. The 260 day ritual calendar and the 365 day solar calendar, for example, came back into alignment every 52 years... For a show where stories repeat themselves across generations and events from the past keep influencing the present, I find that rather fitting.

BUT that's not all. The cosmos and the stars also played an important role in Aztec traditions. The stars of Orion's Belt and Sword have been associated with the Mamalhuaztli, a celestial fire drill. And every 52 years, during the New Fire Ceremony, priests watched the night sky, particularly the Pleiades, for the sign that a new cycle could begin. In a way, the stars acted like a cosmic clock, marking a moment when the world might renew itself... or descend into chaos.... And we know that Wednesday loves chaos 😉

And there's also their conception of the universe, divided into different realms, including the underworld, the earthly world and the heavens, all connected through a central world axis. I find that pretty interesting when thinking about Wednesday capacities and the possible connections between different worlds.

And finally, one last little anecdote. Transformation is obviously a major theme in the show, and I couldn't help thinking about the Hydes. In Aztec mythology, there's a god called Xolotl who, while trying to escape being sacrificed, transforms himself into an axolotl to hide in the water. And axolotls are genuinely incredible little salamanders! They normally retain their larval characteristics throughout their live and they have extraordinary regenerative abilities.

BUT here's the interesting part: although they rarely undergo metamorphosis naturally, it can be induced chemically, particularly through thyroid hormones, and rare cases have also been associated with major environmental stress. When they do transform, they lose their aquatic characteristics and become more adapted to life on land. But there's a price to pay: their regenerative abilities decrease, and their lifespan can be considerably shorter. Does that remind you of anything? 😉👀

Anyway, that was my little mythology related thought of the day! What do you think? Could we see more Aztec mythology in future seasons? Could the Hydes have been partly inspired by axolotls?

And most importantly... aren't these little salamanders just ridiculously adorable? 🥹

I want to either make a typewriter or buy one off of etsy but I want the page I have in there to be the front page of Wednesday's novel but I can't find it anywhere to copy the words down. Can anyone find this for me?

Omg I love it so much! I've seen people get another Wednesday for her paint it black outfit but I really didn't want to spend money on ANOTHER doll that I really don't need tbh...so I made her a closet for all the clothes she isn't wearing! I have a black Gothic bench on the way too for when she plays cello and will give the full full reveal tomorrow!

Both relate but both where/are brilliant actors and I think would fit burton/Wednesday especially Michael

I wonder if anyone will recognize the makeup xD

I think Rita Moreno could be an interesting choice to play Gomez’s mom if they ever introduce her in the show. Since we’ve already met Morticia’s mom, Hester, I’d like to see Gomez’s side of the family explored too.

In the original 60s sitcom, Grandmama was Gomez’s mom and had a much more witchy look, so I’d love to see the show bring that back rather than give her the same classy, aristocratic look as Hester. I think it would be interesting to see Rita transform into that kind of character, especially since she usually has such a classy and elegant appearance.

I also thought of Rita because she’s Puerto Rican like Luis Guzmán, which I thought was a nice connection. But I’d be open to a Mexican actress playing her too since Gomez is canonically Mexican in the show.

Another reason I think Rita could be a good choice is that she’s a legend and an icon in her own right. Wednesday has developed a reputation for casting iconic actors, so I think she’d fit right in.

Who would you cast as Gomez’s mom?

My Monster High Wednesday doll collection is now complete! 🖤🖤 One of my fav shows, such a great series! Would love to see some collector versions & a dorm playset! Maybe one day 🥹 Also would love Pugsley & Rosaline Rotwood!

So as we all know, s3 is right around the corner, probably dropping around late May or early June. I've been thinking a lot about all the new cast additions and how they're gonna fit into the story.

One of the biggest issues with s2, which I think most of us can agree on, was just how many subplots were jammed into it. It got pretty bloated and confusing, and a lot of storylines didn't really get enough breathing room to feel meaningful.

With even more new characters coming in s3, I really hope the writers don't fall into the Stranger Things trap. Adding so many new faces that the cast gets huge and the original group barely gets any screen time or development.

I just want to see the main core (Wednesday and the Addams/Frump family, Enid, Tyler) actually get solid character arcs without their plots getting drowned out. They're the ones everyone fell in love with in the first place, so hopefully they stay the main focus!

What do you guys think? Are you worried about the cast size or do you think they can pull it off?

It took me forever to find the Paint It Black fashion pack, but I finally have the full collection! I'd love to see an Enid/Agnes doll like the Rave'N Wednesday doll, the dance scene from season 2 was so fun and it would be nice for Agnes to get a doll with her hair down. I absolutely love my collection, looking at it will help tide me over until season 3 drops next year!
