#i wonder how long it will take before y'all understand that i'm not against wenclair and i feel like this book does not do justice to ANYONE

1. This fuckwit has watched this show more times than you have. I guarantee it.

2. I was actually in several 🏳️‍🌈 relationships in my youth before transition and I fucking coped very well in the early aughts watching queer TV (back then, it was the original American version of Queer as Folk and The L Word). The L Word (early seasons, not the garbage way "Max" was handled in the later seasons) was my thing.

But before that, there was Xena: Warrior Princess, of which I was a huge fan. You wanna yap about WLW and coding and all of that shit, go watch Xena. THAT is the dynamic you're looking for when you project your fantasies onto Enid and Wednesday, because Xena and Gabrielle actually had it.

3. You should be just as angry about the stripping down of Wednesday as a character in this book since Ortega's Wednesday is what makes the show, but you don't really love that ✨Wednesday��, do you. You just love the fandom fan fic Wenclair version of her (you know, the thing Emma said they JOKED about while filming...now you idiots have ruined their ability to have a friendship outside of work because of the subsection of "Jemma" people amongst you). It's delusional, and I've never seen this level of weird, feral delusion in a fandom in my 30+ years of being in any fandom, but then again, there are a lot of crazy fuckers who are obsessed with this face

So obsessed that y'all become heterophobic asshats whenever she's in a movie or scene with men/choose to focus on the bits of Male Gazey homoeroticism she exploits (particularly the Cairo/Winnie kiss from Miller's Girl, and ofc Taste).

But I digress.

4. Novelizations should always be written by someone who is unbiased, knows the show, and can handle uncomfortable dialogue. If you know this author's other works, you can clearly see why we got what we got in terms of Wednesday's soft Wenclairian thoughts throughout the whole damn thing, but as far as knowing the show? What excuse do you or they have for "Crackstone Crypt"? Or stretching Outreach DAY (singular) into two days? Or screwing up the timeline on the day before the Rave'N? Or deleting so. Many. Lines. And Easter eggs that made Wednesday part of Addams Family lore.

And how did it serve Wenclair fans to delete some of the best and genuine Wenclair lines from Wednesday and Enid canon? They deleted "I can't believe I'm actually going to miss your creepy, lifeless eyes waking me up every morning. It won't be the same without you." They defanged the good that was there. That line was omitted for this utter load of crap:

Emma had visible tears/was sniffling/had a tremor in her voice when she was holding the taxidermied squirrel. "I can tell she's sad" doesn't cut it...nor does it even paint a good picture of what went on on screen for someone who had never seen the show before. We get that Wednesday is detached, but she's also a creative writer with a sharp wit. We just do not get that from this book with its super simple sentences that speak to grade & middle schoolers.

And make no mistake, this speaks to grade & middle schoolers/those who like to read such things (testing this example text...ignore the highlight, that's for something else):

Just a couple of reading level tests on the above:

"YA" should be written better than this.

5. There's one thing I do agree with you with, and that's the Jercy tag thing. I don't ship real people unless they're actually dating/married/whatever IRL and have made it known. Emma Myers killed Jemma recently, so I hope everyone can take that as a lesson.

So apparently, @netflix allowed this Wenclair terrible fanfiction to be published as some kind of novelization for season 1 of the Wednesday series...

Even though it has almost nothing to do with the @wednesdaynetflix series 🤦‍♀️

I mean... how are you going to make Wednesday attracted to Enid in this book when she was canonically attracted to Xavier and Tyler? 🤦‍♀️

Enid being excited when Wednesday told her that she was going to the dance with Xavier...

Enid dating Ajax and kissing him?

Wednesday almost kissing Tyler after their date?

Then Enid sending Wednesday to kiss Tyler at the weathervane?

All of this actually happened in the show that we watched! 🙄

What part of this makes us feel like Enid and Wednesday have romantic or sexual feelings for each other?

@Netflix Do you think we're stupid? Or are you trying to gaslight us🤔?
