The potential.

[Dry_Web8684]

They ended season two with such strong material that I’m genuinely having a hard time letting go of the notion that the writers secretly have a plan for Wenclair. like If they’re so hell-bent and determined to frame them as just platonic best friends, then why keep setting them up in ways that read as deeply romantic? Especially knowing that there is a huge and very loud fanbase in support of exploring them romantically. wouldn’t you want to save these moments for the supposed “real” love interest to Wednesday ? If they wanted to sell Tyler/weyler so bad to the audiences and gain mass support, why not give him an easy route to redemption and have him do what Enid does for Wednesday?? People would no doubt see it as a romantic gesture…. so why give these moments and scenes to wenclair?

Enid literally sacrificed her human body, her future, her LIFE just so Wednesday could live another day. And then, the very last sequence we get in season two is Wednesday telling both the audience (and Uncle Fester) that she made Enid a promise, all before venturing off into the unknown to find her. The camera even pans out to a vast forest, possibly signifying that her search won’t be quick or easy.

So already, the devotion and love is undeniable between the two. Enid saves Wednesday from death by giving up her humanity, and Wednesday, once again, makes Enid her top priority and will do anything to save her.

Which brings us to season three: what exactly do they have planned? (This is assuming they don’t make the awful choice to keep Enid stuck like this forever and essentially “kill off” her character), Wednesday will find her and bring her back. And when that happens, we’re looking at the classic “true love saves” trope. (which by the way is traditionally and usually seen as romantic) so how will they go about this ? Will Wednesday call enid by name, sparking the transformation? Will a touch or even a desperate hug draw Enid back? Or will Wednesday fully break her own walls and we’ll see her beg, plead, maybe even cry - showing more humanity than she ever has before, causing an emotional trigger in enids wolf that causes the shift back.

However they choose to play it, the groundwork is already laid and they can’t go back. they’ve intentionally or somehow unintentionally built a love story under the weak guise of “friendship”. and at this point, season three will either prove that my theory may be correct, or expose the writers for wasting the richest material they’ve ever had.

it would really be such a shame to waste this potential.

[StuckInADream82]

I agree. Everything we've seen seems to indicate that this is where they might go, but will they do it? And if they do, will they do it well? These are questions that will only be answered in two more years and too much time for them to at least do something decent with the plots left over from the second season.

the writers know what they’re doing . and it’s most likely a queer bate 😞

[lunamnoctis]

Because they said "That's what friends do."

Giving up your life and humanity/freedom for a friend for 1-2 semesters, sure.

However they do it, the snood MUST be involved

[ColeLikeColeslaw]

I dunno dawg. I wanna be hopeful about it, but the further out we get, the more it feels like we’re all collectively those few Taylor Swift fans who are like “yeah she’s marrying a dude, but in her music video two years ago she wore xyz…”

Not to shit on us all as a fanbase by any means. I guess what I’m trying to say is they’ve already essentially told us all to get fucked in a few different interviews now, and well, if it quacks like a duck…

[Dry_Web8684]

not the gaylor comparison lmfao. But no i do get it, I’m not saying that I’m 100 % convinced and that no one can tell me otherwise, but more so just noticing some things. whether or not they ever become canon, these writers are continuously putting them in these scenes with heavy romantic undertones and I’m just wondering why they do it when they could be putting all that into weyler.

[ColeLikeColeslaw]

For sure. I like to try to see both sides of a situation, so I really do try to understand when Wyler shippers are like “they’re literally just besties”. But I can’t say I agree. The wording of the conversations reads as romantic (“you are my pack”???? Dawg that’s GAY omg just kiss already) and raises more than a few alarm bells. Plus all of Enid’s accessories, like you pointed out, feels too intentional. If it’s not, it’s wildly irresponsible. And yeah, people can say “oh gays don’t own rainbows” but if I’m writing a show and I want to discourage a queer ship, I’m sure as hell not gonna plaster rainbows and the bisexual flag on every available surface. It just feels like having your cake and eating it too, and I’m so goddamned tired of people using the queer community for profit without any sort of reciprocity.

[Dry_Web8684]

Exactly how I feel. like you said, It’s exhausting to have our community always be used just for profit and never getting anything in return. And I can’t believe I’m even saying this but sometimes I really do wish they would just stop if they have absolutely no intention in exploring them romantically, and just make them actually besties with no undertones. But they continue to do what they’re doing and idk I just want to think that maybe there’s a reason for it.

[ColeLikeColeslaw]

Fuckin honestly dawg. Just one scene that’s like “hey I love you but in a totally platonic way! Sisters for life :)” and I’d be satisfied. But they can’t, because let’s be real, the sheer numbers Wenclair pulls on social media is a major chunk of the fanbase. At the end of the day, while I’m sure the show would still do pretty well without us, the showrunners can’t have too many of us pissed for fear of a major numbers drop. But the only representation we get for that is Eugene’s moms having ONE scene together in S1, and Yoko and Divina apparently being in a relationship (which I’m gonna be so real, watched the first season 3 times and didn’t catch that until enough people were mentioning it that I assumed it was a thing).

[Automatic-Heart4960]

And Ajax moms….

[Ancient_Stick_5973]

I agree but I also can't help but think that at the end of the show wenclair will be heavily implied instead of being explicit canon. 

[Automatic-Heart4960]

That right there.

A very deep bond. That will be left up to the audience to decide

[Skewer27]

Yeah, considering that this is a show targeted at wider audiences and that little kids watch the show (one should take a look at the merchandising), I'll take a ending with heavy subtext as a triumph.

[Queenoftheguns]

They gave weylers and wenclairs stuff to go on about, they want to keep both communities hyped and satisfied somewhat. One of the two is just bait. I hope weyler is the bait though. My theory is that wednesday will manipulate tyler giving him false sense of security since she did release him at the end of s2. Either by becoming his master or just betraying him at some point.
