They gave a name to Cousin Itt, they went there and gave a name to Cousin Itt. I have excused several things in this series, but I cannot excuse this. This is a crime, a sacrilege, somebody has to pay, somebody has to suffer.

Character Profile - Cousin Itt

Cousin Itt was created for the 1960s TV show, so I don’t have a quote from Charles Addams saying what he should be like. He was fashioned after two drawings of a man completely covered in/made out of hair and wearing sunglasses:

In his first TV appearance, he was a little person wearing a suit and gloves, who simply had a tremendous amount of hair. You could clearly see his legs, arms, and hands. Here he is performing a magic act for the family:

That first costume was made using real human hair, but since everyone everywhere smoked all the time back in the 60s, the costume was later changed to synthetic hair to be less of a fire hazard. They also added more hair, glasses, and sometimes a hat. This became the iconic look of Cousin Itt.

He was played by Felix Silla (above right), who at 3’11” tall was the perfect height to wear the costume. While he performed Itt’s actions, they did not use his voice. Itt’s signature meeping sounds were created by the show’s sound engineer, Tony Magro. His way of speaking was replicated in various ways in every later incarnation, even when he was voiced by a celebrity. In the 2019 and 2021 3D animated films, his voice was provided by Snoop Dogg, but it sounds like it was played backwards and the pitch was raised and possibly sped up. Despite his speech being indecipherable, the members of the Addams family can all understand Itt perfectly.

In the sitcom, Itt will ring the doorbell when he arrives at the house, but if they take too long to let him in, he’ll climb up the walls and enter the house through a window or the chimney. Itt doesn’t live in the house, but he has a guest room built to his dimensions. The others have to stoop to fit inside of it. It’s played for comedic effect, but it’s kind of wonderful that there’s at least one place where other people have to deal with everything being built for his size, rather than the other way around.

The plots for Cousin Itt’s appearances in the sitcom centered around him finding a job or, at one point, losing his hair. In the 1991 film, he falls in love with Margaret Alford, the wife of Tully Alford, who was scamming the family. This sort of establishes Itt as a ladies’ man, which carries over into the 90s animated series and the 3D animated films. Though in the 1993 movie, he’s happily married to Margaret and they have a hairy little child together named What.

Cousin Itt has not yet appeared in the Netflix show Wednesday, though an ancestor of his has. In the seventh episode, Fester, Thing, and Wednesday break into a safe behind a painting of Ignatius ”Iggy” Itt. The way that Fester refers to him makes it clear that this is not the Itt that they both know today, but a different, earlier relative. In addition to that, the dates under the painting are from 200 years ago, and we can assume that Cousin Itt is not over 200 years old. Though it is hard to tell with this family.

Will Cousin Itt make an appearance in Wednesday? It’s unlikely to happen in season 2 unless it’s a surprise. None of the guest stars listed are under four feet tall. There is the possibility that one of the new actors with an unnamed role could be the voice actor for Itt, and a little person would be hired to do the body work, but it’s far more likely that they would hire someone famous for the role.

We are already meeting Grandmama in season 2, and there will be some amount of plot happening in the Addams family mansion, so we can’t completely rule out the possibility of Itt making an appearance. However, they may also wait until a third season to introduce him, and hire someone like Warwick Davis to play him. Right now, only those involved in the show know for certain.

[rankpup8]

Okay, just an idea that has been on my mind lately, its kind of not serious but also i mean this is a comedy, cmon. In the show Wednesday has issues with communicating, well, in general but particularly with her parents. If Wenclair happens, before they get together there's gonna be A Period of Angst were I'm sure she's gonna go through the 5 stages of grief about it and will definitely avoid talking to her parents as much as possible. She has to be able to talk with someone at some point, but there's no other competent adults around and honestly even if there were some, they're not Addams so I don't they'd really get it. Sure there's Fester but let's be honest, his love life is a disaster if it even survived the Debby incident (and yes we're mixing the 90s movies with the show, they're great) so who else is there to give advice to a young Addams in love? Well, no other than Cousin Ignatius Itt. He has all the qualifications

1. Addams

2. Married to a very un-Addams woman who is really cheery and loves pink (like a certain werewolf)

3. Probably cooler than Gomez and Morticia, let's be honest

4. Canon to the show (less important but still)

So. Yeah. I'm not much of a writer but I would love to see that conversation, jsjs

Wednesday Addams OOAK Rave’n Doll w/OOAK “Thing” & NRFB “ITT”—An Addams Family SET with ACCESSORIES

Wednesday has been accompanied by her dear companion Thing and her Nevermore forebear “Ignatius ITT” to Nevermore’s Rave’n Dance!

I have customized the face of an unbranded Wednesday Addams fashion doll to add Jenna Ortega-style freckles, clear gloss over her eyes, and gentler (though still Wednesday-serious) eyebrows. (Makeup has been sealed.)

I also swapped out her stiff original body for an unbranded Made-to-Move type body that comes with knee, hip, upper torso, elbow, shoulder, and wrist joints (but no ankle joints).

She comes wearing her original Rave’n Dance black satin dress (with black gauze ruffles and silver-tone buckled belt) and black open-toed high heel shoes.

I then added underwear, black stockings, black nail polish, a matching shawl, black satin hair ribbons, and I pinned up her braids to resemble Wednesday’s updo hairstyle.

Her updo is fastened with two bobby pins, so you can let down Wednesday’s braids if you so choose. (Note that the original factory hair rooting is on the thin side, but I left it thus in order to be able to recreate her dance hairstyle.)

PLUS: Custom OOAK “Thing”!

Thing comes painted with its iconic black stitches and has a pose-able wrist joint, which is attached to a white “cuff” base. (“Cuff” is painted with a tiny black bow tie). Thing can be attached to Wednesday’s shoulder or arm with the black satin ribbon that runs through Thing’s “cuff” base

Thing comes nestled in its own presentation box.

AND: NEW, NRFB “Ignatius ITT”!

This set includes JustPlay’s recently released “Ignatius ITT” small styling head. ITT comes with rooted hair (all over!), black plastic glasses, and black bowler “hat” brush. I have added a blue-black satin rose boutonnière (with black Velcro stem), as I thought that would be appropriate for his role as chaperone.

(Note: I know Cousin ITT is not yet in the show. Nor is Ignatius ITT, Cousin ITT’s ancestor from the Nightshade library portrait, in the dance scene as filmed. But since the ITTs may be counted among Wednesday’s cooler adult relatives, I could picture the elder ITT being on hand, supernaturally lurking behind the scenes.)

The Ignatius ITT in the photos is an identical one that has been taken out of his packaging, but I have included here photos of the still-boxed one you will be receiving.

so Nathaniel Faulkner founded Nevermore in 1791. After founding Nevermore he hid his diary behind a painting of his right hand, Ignatius Itt... who, according to said painting, was born in 1825 and died in 1850...

so Wednesday is 15-16, in what i presume(?) is 2022. on the nevermore website, Morticia says that Wednesday is in the class of 2027. so 20-21 year olds are still nevermore students?? or the series is set in like 2025?

the way into the secret library is behind the statue of an adult Edgar Allen Poe. who was apparently a nevermore student which makes so much less sense than them just naming the school and all its quirks in his honour to begin with but anyway. so seeing as he was born in 1809, he would've gone to nevermore in, let's say 1822 at the earliest. before Faulkner's right hand was even born.

so let's say Faulkner's holding onto his diary for a while. the statue was probably built in or after 1849, due to that being the year that of his famous daguerreotype, and the year he died, but it was definitely built after 1845 when he published The Raven. so the whole secret underground library thing where all the secret books are kept wasn't made until then. which i suppose adds up even if the timeline is a bit wonky because then the next year Ignatius Itt would die, and his painting with his birth & death years presumably hung there, and then Faulkner would hide his diary behind it.

so Faulkner spent all this time travelling all around the world cataloguing every community of outcasts before founding the academy. let's say this took him 10 years (which seems perhaps too generous for the 18th century but anyway), then let's say he's about 30 at the very youngest in 1791. Now he has to be alive and active until at least post-1845 for the statue and the painting and hiding the diary. so he's there in 1845, early 80s at the youngest, with his best buddy, who is... 20. huh.

okay so let's say Faulkner's likely got to be a vampire for this to be reasonable. i mean sure it's vaguely possible for him not to have been, but not that reasonable. on the nevermore website, Yoko says that she'll live about 300 years. so, obviously, Faulkner could have been wayyy older and spent like 200 years travelling the world (not sure the length of the diary supports that but anyway), but this also leaves open the possibility that if he was "relatively young" anywhere between 30-80ish when he founded nevermore, then mayhap he could still be secretly alive and also Wednesday's stalker. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Wednesday Ignatius Itt From Five Below!

[gwaeddblaidd]

Feed the Wolf Chapter 6: Colours (Excerpt)

“Oh, I almost forgot to tell you,” he says almost excitedly, prompting me to turn back to face him. “A little birdie told me the Nightshades are meeting tonight.”

He stands from his chair and walks a few steps towards me. As he does he grows taller and just a little squarer at the shoulders, his arms and legs becoming longer and his clothes adjusting seemingly by themselves to conform to his new body type. His hair grows longer and his face becomes almost blurry, his features indistinct. He appears human, yes, but my eyes can’t seem to focus on his face. It only lasts a moment, though, before suddenly everything becomes clear once again. His face has changed. His cheekbones are a little higher, his brow more pronounced, his nose ever-so-slightly crooked and his jawline bearing the slightest hint of a stubble. I hate it when he does this.

“Want me to listen in for you?” he asks, sweeping his now longer fringe from his face and to the side. The red skin on his knuckles catches my eye, letting me know that he did indeed notice the state of my hands this past week, despite him not mentioning it.

I stare at the reflection of myself, feeling just as uncomfortable as ever seeing him in this state. Back when I first started at Nevermore, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I heard I’d be boarding with a shapeshifter, but I definitely didn’t anticipate a roommate that would learn to mimic my every feature within a day of meeting me. I try my best not to let my discomfort show. I’m not giving him that satisfaction.

“I didn’t get an invite,” I say, sounding almost offended. Of course, I haven’t been invited to any of their gatherings since halfway through second year, if I remember correctly. Still, they never officially kicked me out…

My father was a Nightshade during his time at Nevermore; there’s a picture of him and my aunt up on the wall of their library somewhere. He told me about the secret society when I was young, but I never really realised the importance of the information until he was gone. I retained certain important details – how to get into the library, the existence of a safe behind the portrait of Ignatius Itt – but things like ‘how to join’ evaded me. Still, getting in by myself and proving myself a legacy was enough to convince the Nightshades to allow me to pledge. Looking back, I can’t believe how careless I was in revealing who my father was; it’s a good thing no one there recognised him or my aunt as Hydes. It didn’t take long for me to become disappointed by the group, though. It was clear after just a few gatherings that the once prestigious society had fallen so very far, becoming little more than an elitist social club full of spoiled rich kids. I stopped attending their meetings upon that realisation.

“Do you ever?” Alex asks, bringing me back to the present. “If you did, I wouldn’t have to keep my ear to the ground about this stuff.”

“It’s not as great as it’s made out to be,” I say in return. The group may be secretive, but they honestly don’t offer all that much beyond overly-serious meetings about trivial matters and the occasional private party. 

“Speak for yourself!” Alex exclaims. “I for one have greatly enjoyed the gatherings I’ve attended.”

I hesitate before speaking, my mind taking a moment to understand the implication. “Alex… Please don’t tell me you’ve been going to more of them without asking me first.”

He stiffens slightly, his eyes widening just a little as he stifles a reaction. That’s a yes, then.

“At least tell me you weren’t too… out of character.” My mind runs through so many possibilities. “I don’t need more people angry at me for reasons I don’t understand.”

“Oh no! Nothing like that!” His reassurance does little to lessen my concern. “Some of them might just think you’re… Well, let’s just say that Nightshade you is a bit less depressed, y’know?”

“Oh, well that’s fine then,” I say sarcastically. “I’m a Hyde anyway, so why not add mood swings to my repertoire?”

“Come on, it’s not that bad. You never go anyway, and you’re not exactly friends with any of them.” He crosses his arms defensively, betraying his knowing that what he did was wrong. “I needed stories, alright? How else is my blog meant to compete with Enid’s?”

It’s always about the blog… I guess that could probably be one of the reasons I stopped getting invites. I mean, me not showing up is reason enough to stop asking me to come, but it’s public knowledge that Alex and I are roommates. If someone was leaking information from Nightshade meetings, I’d obviously be the most likely suspect.

I sigh wearily. “Well, to answer your question: no, I don’t want you to listen in on the meeting.”

In the blink of an eye, his disguise fades and he becomes himself again. He doesn’t hide his disappointment. “Fine.”

“I might go myself, though. Tell me, when is the meeting?”

He looks shocked at that, his disappointment quickly giving way to something close to fear. “Nine o’clock,” he blurts out. “But if you’re really going to go, perhaps we should discuss your persona.”

“My persona?” I don’t like where this is going.

“Yeah, there’s a few things you should be aware of. Gotta keep consistent, right?”

I find myself pinching the bridge of my nose, the beginnings of a headache creeping up on me. It’s bad enough that Alex has been impersonating me without my consent, but for him to be doing so badly? I shouldn’t have to alter my behaviour to make up for his mistakes. Why do I even want to go to the meeting? Honestly, I’m not sure. Maybe my newfound positive outlook has me more willing to engage with others, or maybe seeing so many others preparing for evening activities has me searching for a distraction of my own. Or, maybe the relatively impromptu nature of this meeting has me intrigued. Most Nightshade meetings follow a regular schedule – once every fortnight on the weekend – but this doesn’t fit that schedule. It’s probably nothing of note, but I’d regret missing out if I’m wrong.

I breathe out slowly and steadily, recentering myself in preparation for what I’m sure is about to be a painful briefing. I look at Alex for a moment then drop my gaze, shaking my head along with a slight chuckle. No use in being annoyed, if I have a choice in the matter. I raise my head to offer him my full attention along with a tired, conceding smile.

“Fine. What do I need to know?”

Looks like Cousin Itt has a full name now, and we're back to using the "Itt" spelling instead of "It".

I kind of like the name Ignatius for him.
