#am i making a goody addams sideblog? yes.

[miercolaes]

i've been watching the 60s addams show and i may have possibly went down another rabbit hole. just because the musing for wednesday hid from my sight (and i intend on finding it).

anywho, we all know that the addamses are of mexican descent. though it did made me wonder why in the animated movie from 2019 had sabre mazurka as a rite of passage. for those of you curious, mazurka is a dance of polish origin. moreover, in one of the screencaps with wednesday's writing on the 2022 show, we see another polish mention polish kielbasas, which is basically just a sausage.

bottom line is, maybe they are mexican (of spanish descent) and polish. but then i started googling more information and not only is one of the addamses apparently responsible for the destroying of alexandria's library (which also mentions a muslim name, said ancestor being mamoud khali pasha addams, which gramatically would be mahmud khalid ; pasha was a turkish term to describe the ottoman occupation of the balkan area, while addams serves just as a proof that he belonged to the addams family tree which we all know).

okay so now we have : mexican, spanish, polish, arabic and turkish. already a lot for my fried brain. but as i descent into madness like any other madman out there, there's more.

in the 60s show, morticia apparently comes from salem, massachusets. here's a reminder for everyone : that's where the salem witch trials took place. mostly women, but few men included were accused of witchcraft and hanged. so i was looking for names of actual victims of the salem witch trials. on the wiki page is where i found a picture taken for augustus saint-gaudens' statue entitled the puritan. and the way it looked was familiar. 1st picture is puritan statue, 2nd picture is crackstone's statue from wednesday.

of course it looked familiar because i've seen it in the 2022 netflix series. the puritan statue is joseph crackstone. okay so that means goody addams was one of the witches that somehow got away. but wait, if the witch trials happened in salem, then why are we here in jericho? also, fun fact, if this batshit crazy theory is correct, then the addams family universe and the fear street universe fall into the same universe actually. sarah (not friar, but good) was one of the first three women accused of witchcraft. who was the puritan that conducted these trials? you guessed it, samuel parris. so sarah and samuel exist. and so did goody addams. but who could she be?

so i am now looking at the victims of the salem witches trials. well, what if she is actually goody? well, sort of. according to my very poor research, sarah good had two daughters : dorcas (wrongly known as dorothy) and mercy (who unfortunately did not make it). according to this site "Four-year-old accused witch Dorcas Good went insane after spending months in prison and watching her baby sister die while in jail with their mother, who was later hanged."

that being said, it could be goody addams is actually dorcas good. if she did went insane after what she'd gone through and like morticia said goody was a witch of great strength but her vengeance pushed her too far and even she couldn't save herself.

bottom line is, like any family tree out there, most people are not entirely belonging to one singular ethnicity. the addamses are just like everyone else in that sense. they're hispanic but also polish, turkish, arabic and english (and probably so much more). thank you for coming to my verotalk, i am going insane.
