from just the first episode i thought wednesday was kind of tropey and i didn’t really like what it did with the addams family canon BUT it’s just unbelievable how 100% perfectly they captured my 5th grade escapist fantasies. being a hypercompetent morbid weirdo who went to a boarding school whose whole aesthetic, theme, and curriculum was centered around death and danger and who was also a successful novelist and solved mysteries was so exactly what i dreamed about that i’m enjoying watching it just because it scratches that old itch with surgical precision

#in 5th/6th grade i had hair that was i think shoulder length but it actually got into such a big tangle that it was literally the entirety #of my hair #for some reason i decided to keep this a secret and wore my hair in a bun for like 4 months except that the bun was the shape my hair was in #when i finally admitted to it -- and mind you i didn't keep it secret out of a sense of shame or anything #i honestly don't remember what exactly it was -- i think i thought it would eventually resolve naturally and just didn't want to involve #anyone else #anyway the hairstylist who cut my hair deserves so much credit because she produced a really cute asymetrical bob out of it #and in my defense the knot developed shortly after my dad moved into a new house so a hairbrush for that house hadn't been bought yet #so if i wanted to brush my hair there i had to remember to take my brush from my mother's house which i obviously forgot all the time #wait why did i bring this up on a post about wednesday addams #OH because before that i DID for some period of time have 2 long braids #the 2-braided character i imprinted on as a child was sheeta from castle in the sky #she has her braids shot off by the villain #i donated my hair in the 2nd grade i think and me and bestie masha k (who was nausicaa in our ghibliverse RP)#were like 'omg....this is JUST like sheeta....the ancient prophecies are coming true'#as if it was some crazy coincidence and not a situation i directly created by asking my mother to make an appointment as supercuts #wait you know what else i just realized #yentl 🤝 sheeta #characters i imprinted upon who have two long braids that get cut off #very sleep deprived hence the stream of consciousness tags #OH regarding the fate of the hair knot #most of it was cut off as one discrete chunk and my aunt actually still has it in a plastic bag to this day #she calls it the 'hairloom' and the idea is to show it to the next generation if they ever wine about having to take care of their hair lmao
