Thing

(Like the one from the Addms Family?)

Alright, let's talk about Thing from the Addams Family. This fashion icon is truly... singular. We're not dealing with your average runway walk here, folks. We're talking about a walk that's more of a frantic scurry, often across highly polished surfaces, leaving behind only the fingerprints of this icon.

Overall Aesthetic: Minimalism meets existential dread. Think deconstructed, avant-garde, post-apocalyptic chic, but without the chic. And, you know, no clothing.

Signature Piece: Themself. This is where Thing truly shines. The hand itself is a masterclass in self love and confidence. No jewelry, no gloves (obviously but it is seen in his belongi gs at so.e point), just pure, unadulterated hand-ness. It's bold, it's understated, it's undeniably...handy.

Silhouette: Sleek. Streamlined. Reduced to its absolute essence. We're talking about the apex of form-fitting. You can't get much closer to the body than the body itself. We're talking absolute negative space. Think the absence of the rest of a body. He's rocking the "invisible man" look, but only from the wrist up. It's a bold statement, really, a complete rejection of the traditional human form. We can safely say he's a trendsetter in the "no body, no problem" movement.

Fabric Choices: Skin. The ultimate natural fiber. Breathable, durable, and easily customizable with scars and the occasional mysterious discoloration.

Color Palette: It’s giving "I haven't seen sunlight in 40 years". He is truly embracing the monochrome aesthetic, but is he making a conscious choice? Maybe some day he will sport a fun, poppy pink, like Margot Robbie in the Barbie movie.

Hair and Makeup: Non-existent. Thing is a staunch advocate for the "no makeup" look, a true champion of au naturel.

The Message: What is Thing trying to say with his choices? Here are a few interpretations:

"Deconstruction is key." He embodies literal deconstruction. He's pushing the boundaries of what it means to be "dressed."

"I'm busy, back off." A disembodied hand gets right to the point. No small talk, no fuss.

"Being different is a sign of intelligence." Thing operates independently and speaks his own language. He's a true individual.

"Function over form." Let's be honest, he doesn't need the rest of the body to get things done.

Overall style: Thing is a fashion legend, a rebel, and a legend in his own...hand. He is proof that with confidence and a little bit of Addams Family charm, you can rock any look, even if that look is purely hand-based. Five out of five severed fingers!

Occasions and events: Thing dresses for all occasions with a single, unwavering commitment to his signature look. He can do anything. Need a bartender? Thing. Need a chauffeur? Thing. Need someone to play the harpsichord? Thing. The adaptability of this guy is unparalleled.

Confidence: Thing is more than just a disembodied hand; he's a statement. A statement that screams, "I am comfortable in my own skin." He's a rebel, a minimalist, and a reminder that sometimes, less is more. (Unless you need to, you know, hold something heavy for witch you might need two hands.)

Fashion Prediction for Next Season: Rumor has it Thing is experimenting with nail polish. Sources say a deep, blood red is his current favorite, closely followed by a nice solid black to give edgy vibes.

In conclusion: He's a master in minimalist style, proving that sometimes, the most impactful fashion statements are made with the least amount of "stuff”. He's a walking (or crawling) paradox– wholly incomplete, yet utterly sufficient. He is a hand, and he's all he needs to be.

Even though she's a minor character with no name (or I didn't find it lol(¯▿¯)), I really liked her and wanted to draw her since I saw her 3 months ago… HAPPY HALLOWEEN(⌒▽⌒)☆!

wednesday as anime 🖤🕷️🕸️

Studying for some tests, so have a stressed Al

And a memory based Morticia Addams.

ARTOBER DAY 4:

Wednesday Addams

Not my best but whatever.

enid: man sure is dark in here. wednesday: enid: i'm not scared or anything. wednesday: enid: i mean who is scared of the dark these days? not me no sir. wednesday: do you want me to hold your hand? enid: yes please.

mi cara mia

The love triangle was so shit. Even Jenna Orgega agrees

I drew this up for Raul Julia’s birthday today.  He’d have been 75 today.  

A quick aged up Wednesday & Parker from the Addams family movie.

(It's like 2am rn, so I'll try to make a better picture later if I can)

Finally watched the Addams Family Values recently! and honestly. my main takeaway is

Debbie slays. And Joan Cusack is a QUEEN

I mean...

How is our Jenna ?! Do you want to give me hope in a vacuum or how is it ?! I need this house to be where Wednesday hides Tyler and it becomes their place / home !

Jenna, on Netflix TUDUM 2023: [referring to the Hyde master bond] I always thought it'd be interesting for Wednesday to have a pet monster.

Hunter: [also referring to the master bond theory] I'd be down for that.

Me:

I'm convinced there's at least one Addams cousin who can't tell if Tyler is Wednesday's boyfriend or just straight up her weirdest addition to the menagerie (he's both, but shh)

I imagine she tells the rest of the family about him, but mostly through letters, and it's so hard to tell by the way she describes him and the situations they get into.

Cousin: Doing anything special this weekend?

Wednesday: not really, most afternoons I'm just in the yard watching Tyler dig new graves with his nails.

Wednesday: I'll probably take him out for a walk later on, he gets really antsy in confined spaces.

Wednesday: Gonna be picking up whatever clothes he leaves behind, it's tedious, but he makes up for it by bringing me a deer he caught with his bare teeth.

Wednesday: At night, he insists on going to bed while watching a movie. But I just scratch his head and behind his ear for a couple minutes till he's out cold, then I just read whatever I want.

Cousin:...is he vaccinated?

My favorite thing right now is any fic that has Tyler set foot in the Addams home.

Not only is he being showered with support, but he gets to be unapologetically down bad for Wednesday. You know dang well Gomez and Morticia would never judge someone taking control of their sexuality.

Also, the absolute Gold-tier clownery of having Wednesday "I'm nothing like my parents" Addams be equally thirsty in front of her family is fucking hilarious to me!

Wednesday, after pulling Tyler into the library:

Pugsley, just trying to read in peace:

How Wednesday would eventually breakup with Joel and foreshadow Tyler!

First off Joel was Wednesday’s first, a summer camp fling if you will.

They bonded over similar interest and desire to escape camp together.

Pathetic

Devoted

Similar interests

Serial killers

First kiss

Forced to watch Disney movies together

Overthrew evil racist camp counselors

How Tyler similar to Joel

Sought Tyler out

Chose him

Went to dance and peacocked his butt

For her birthday Wednesday wanted to spend time with Tyler and Enid

Helped in her in her investigation

Doesn’t ask Wednesday to change

Hopelessly devoted

How Tyler is different from Joel

Cant be bought

Challenges Wednesday

Is a serial killer

An outcast

Saved her life

Makes her bitter quads

Doesn’t just do as she says

Joel would be Wednesday’s slave, but she doesn’t want that.

I think for season 2, Wednesday and Tyler should explore Tyler-Hyde being independent from her. No longer Laurel’s slave and neither Wednesday’s slay. Instead equal partnership in both love and mayhem.

A lover that talks back

Doesn’t let Wednesday get away with anything

Challenges Wednesday in both murder and as a person

Is hopelessly devoted but has his own mind and independence

True Psychopath’s in love

I managed too finish watching Wednesday, and now I'm obsessed, so I tried drawing Wednesday from memory

Actually as much as having insane quantities of money has been a reoccurring trope among the Addams Family, I can't help but think that you would be thinking about it wrong to assume it's the Addams defining trait.

One of the major concepts with the Addams is that it never is explicitly stated what exactly they are, with enough of a plausibly human looking appearance/outward traits, but still some decidedly "not normal human" traits to keep an audience guessing as to what their deal is. Certainly, having suspiciously large amounts of money may help emphasize this factor, but it isn't what creates the near uncanny valley/how human are these people/are they even human or just really human looking cryptids feeling that is integral to the show. Furthermore the Addams also never seem to care about exactly what they are or aren't as long as they are a part of, or otherwise friends of the family.

Another key component is that they never seem to regard the things they engage in as odd, or fully realize that most people would consider the way they live not to be normal; and while that does fit with the concept of rich elites being out of touch with society, it could also be used as a metaphor for what working class people have to do in order to survive being unthinkable to the elites. (Namely in a-the wealthy, contrary to what they say, can't handle everyday jobs like what they claim to have started out as-kind of way.)

In reality a working class version of the Addams Family might look like a family who all live in the same house/apartment/rental due to practicality as opposed to ancestral family home reasons. Who have a hard time finding the right place to live, spending alot of time trying to find the appropriately haunted, dismal, mold infested place that hasn't been condemned or had its neighbourhood gentrified yet. If needing new furniture they'd probably go shopping at dodgy back alley thrifts stores, yardsales or even picking up pieces left by the side of the road hoping that what they find might be haunted/cursed. For meals they might regularly be making use of roadkill, foraging poisonous garden weeds /snails/frogs/toadstools, or even at their local abattoir purchasing offcuts of meat (think the eyes, trotters, ears, tongue, brains, blood, bones etc). They would still regularly consume various poisons albeit slightly less exotic ones such as your bleaches, drain cleaners or rat poison. Perhaps if they lived close to a fruit canning factory they might be able to purchase/take home large quantities of cherry/peach/apricot stones for cheap and eat them similar to how we eat nuts. They may not have a family graveyard, but they would probably routinely go for walks around any local ones the way we go for walks around public parks, allowing kids to play over at cemeteries/abandoned churches while the elders might feed the local crows/ravens. The kids might still keep pet spiders albeit rescues as opposed to thoroughbred (such as the banana spiders you might sometimes hear rumours of lurking in the fruit isle) along with leeches or a large (escaped/abandoned) poisonous snake as a family pet. They may still have carnivorous houseplants, just more ones rescued on the brink of death from the local walmart/grocery store bargain section or found in a local back alley, that after some coaching, began consuming things other than flies. Even if they didn't have the money for florists or enough room to grow roses they still could pick the large thorny stems of wild roses and brambles growing in ditches. Furthermore they still could genuinely love most forms of gothic literature, even if their books might be a bit weather beaten or smelling faintly of mildew.

For bonus points they might use hostile architecture such as anti-homeless spikes the way we use park benches. (Heck, I think even the regular Addams Family might do that.)

You couldn’t do a working class version of the Addams Family without turning them into something else entirely, because the fundamental ambiguity of “okay, are these people, like, vampires or something, or are rich people just Like That” is absolutely essential to the bit.

I no longer give a fuck about shopping on Thanksgiving. It is a bullshit holiday, used to this day to spread misinformation about the relationship of the U.S. with Natives. I don't really have a fuck to give that people are having dinner today. People have dinner most days, and you either are truly thankful for your family year-round and don't need another genocide cover-up day to spend one or more of the other three hundred and sixty four dinners with the people you're so thankful for, or you're one of the many who have little to no interest in being around your annoying uncle even once a year, in which case, don't. It's not like it makes it easier for damn near everyone to be traveling at once. And to anyone who ironically, and yet so appropriately, gives me shit for buying food and other necessities on Thanksgiving - a Native trying to get food from largely white-owned stores on a day that was supposedly about Natives sharing their food - I only have this to say.
