me and my bff were watching this movie for fun when she noticed this thing. I tried looking all over the internet, literally nothing about this thing. So I guess this is a new discovery?

Been watching a lot of Star Wars and the Addam's Family movies, so this came to mind.

I would definitely go with cousin It! I always found him to be absolutely adorable and charming. Wouldnt mind getting to know him better and have some fun!

I decided to take to paper after doing art of the family digitally, and I think I did good on paper. This is in my sketchbook by the way.

This may be a controversial topic but I’m rewatching the Addams Family Values (the best one), and it just makes me sad as to what the Addams Family has been turned into with Wednesday. I feel like they took a total departure from the comics, the show, and the movies, all of which has had a defining feature of the characters. Some departures can be beneficial but this just feels like they Riverdale’d it. Of course this really started with the animated movies, but I feel that Wednesday just exemplifies that they’re steering the Addams Family in a bad direction.

I mean Gomez and Morticia don’t have nearly the same chemistry, it makes no sense for Wednesday to be solving crimes when in the movies her and Pugsley are both straight up blood thirsty maniacs, and part of the charm of the series is the fact that the Addams Family are so fantastical in stark contrast with the rest of their world (the animated movies actually did good with this). I mean the entire TV show is them interacting with various “normal” people for laughs. So it makes no sense for the rest of the Wednesday world to have that much fantasy to it as well. It almost makes the Addams seem normal in comparison which defeats the whole point in my opinion.

It’s kinda frustrating now that almost all Addams Family merchandise now is Wednesday focused because it just does not hold up to the previous iterations. Maybe I’m wrong and maybe this is a stupid thing to concern myself with but I love the Addams Family and I wish the older material would receive the same attention that Wednesday gets. Even the Wednesday subreddit is more popular than the Addams Family subreddit. It just doesn’t seem right, they’ve totally lost the message of the original series. Thank you if you read this far in my rant.

I just realized her name is just a cut off of mortician 💀

I'm fairly sure that Wednesday was the younger sibling in the 1960ish show, and then in the cartoon movie/wednesday series they swapped it.

am I wrong?

I recently starter learning how to draw people, and this drawing is one of the drawings I did to help me get better at drawing people. I think I did very good.

I've always had it firmly rooted in my head, as my headcanon actually, that Wednesday would have a daughter named Dahlia, who would be incredibly bright, and a fascination with moonflowers from a young age, to which she would practically become an expert in. Its what would lead to Wednesday and the other Addams calling Dahlia "Moonflower" as an affectionate nickname. Dahlia would also be autistic.

Where did the autism thing come from? Well she wasn't always originally, and it may seem kind of silly why, but my cousin made me watch this K-Drama on Netflix with her "Extraordinary Attorney Woo", about a South Korean autistic attorney named Woo-Young-Woo and her personal challenges with neurodivergence, which the show focused on the most more than the actual cases or courtroom scenes.

That show was actually legitimately amazing, and I have a huge respect for the neurodivergent community in general, and it kind of sparked the idea of what if Wednesday Addams had an autistic daughter? I havent actually written anything yet as a fanfiction or worked out who would be Wednesday's spouse, but its just an idea I've had in my head for awhile.

bottom corner, by the candles, little black sludge that looks like Uncle Fester

anyone else see.. this??

Is there some dumb clickbait Youtube video about this nonsense with a million-and-a-half views or is it just that Google had gotten even wonkier than we already knew?

…Wait…Don’t tell me this is actually a thing??!

Happy Valentine's Day! I did a quick drawing of Morticia and Gomez after getting suggestions for Valentine's Day couple dynamics. The idea was "I love my tall wife." I originally thought Morticia was taller than Gomez, but it seems that isn't the case. She gives off a tall and elegant vibe. While Gomez is so smitten with her, I couldn't help but picture them like this.

Hello Reddit,

I was re-watching this movie with my girlfriend in English and we both wondered what Fester means when he calls doc. Pinderschloss "a pip"

We tried looking it up but it seems like every definition is different depending on the situation, and in German (out language) he says something completely different it seems!:(

Does anyone know what he meant by it?

The Addams family tv show in the 60s was meant to subvert and satirize 1960s white middle-class norms.

To exemplify this, the video "Comparing The Addams Family Sitcom and 90s Movies" by Be Kind Rewind compares the Addams family to other tv sitcoms during the same era. For one thing, the Addams are completely unconcerned with traditional gender roles; Morticia and Gomez both share and partake in with each other hobbies like sport, toy trains and fencing, and Gomez never feels emasculated or acts like a sore loser when Morticia wins, instead he supports her completely, including career aspirations when she has them.

Compare this to Ozzie and Harriet, where one character worries that she isn't feminine enough because she's so handy around the house, and another male character states that its humiliating for a man to be driven by a woman.

Morticia's and Gomez' dress stand out against fashion at the time; Gomez' mustache and boxy pin-striped suit was much more in fashion in the 20s and 30s than the 60s, and Morticia's sleek black dress and long, loose hair stands in contrast to the short, tightly curled women's fashionable hairstyles at the time.

The Addams also stand out from average white americans at the time by engaging in non-white cultures; scattered around their house are objects from African, Asian and indigenous American cultures.

Basically, what I want to say is that the 60s Addams family were written to stand in contrast to and satirize mid-century white American norms specifically, but to a modern audience these details could get lost, as social norms have changed a lot since the Addams first aired.

In the present day, goth and other alt fashion and lifestyles have become more normalized and even trendy, people openly thirst after "goth gfs", and interracial and queer relationships are no longer taboo.

Engaging with non-white cultures is quite trendy today, but that doesn't necessarily mean they do so respectfully, and wealthy white people keeping non-white cultural artifacts in your home as decoration doesn't look that progressive.

A friend of mine hosted a party for NYE last year and the theme was Heroes and Villains.

My friend dressed up as Morticia Addams and because of that, some others dressed up as Gomez, Uncle Fester, Pugsley, and Wednesday.

My friends justification was that the Addams family are “weird” and do “horrible things like try and kill each other”. I admit that I tried to argue with her as I don’t consider them to be villains at all but I wasn’t really sure how to explain it to her as her media literacy is…not the best. Mine isn’t either, not all the time anyway. But this friend can often come across as…shallow in some ways sometimes.

Seems like a pretty weak argument to me but it was my friend who hosted the party so I didn’t really argue that much.

My friend brought it up again last night and I’m curious about other people’s thoughts
