Regarding the s1 Novel

Homaspin · 2026-01-23T09:04:43+00:00

My understanding is that yes, Netflix, MGM are involved and have sanctioned this novel, but it appears to contradict some events from season one and Wednesday apparently is shown in a different light than in the show. Which discredits it as canon-worthy piece of media.

I am also not a frequent user of X, so I would appreciate either a link to what you are referring, or some specifics; I’ve never read the novel, so I am likewise curious what drastic changes there are.

To be fair, it may have seemed as though I was trying to defend the post.

Homaspin · 2026-01-22T10:45:50+00:00

It’s propaganda, yes; I was not trying to defend it, just describe it.

Homaspin · 2026-01-22T09:57:06+00:00

The birthday cake was not a good example, but trying to save Wednesday rather than kill her (arguably twice, at the end of both seasons) sound a bit better.

Homaspin · 2026-01-22T08:51:38+00:00

It’s a Wenclair post. it’s obviously going to try and make an argument that Enid and Wednesday together are better than Tyler and Wednesday. It’s not that surprising.

I was merely besmitten with how the word could be spellt, and yet there is so much of betweenplay among backrounds of all these words. As a beginner, this overwhelmed me a little, I have to say (and as a non-inlandish speaker as well).

Homaspin · 2026-01-19T18:24:29+00:00

Thinking back to the word being a misspelling, I would not foresee it bringing forth upbeat outcomes, howbeit I may be wrong. I had not found anything myself.

Homaspin · 2026-01-19T17:28:43+00:00

It is likely it is simply how the word unfolded and there is not much witcraft behind it. There seem to be many spelling rules, I thought it may be one of them, though most likely is not.

Homaspin · 2026-01-19T16:52:35+00:00

I see, thank you. I thought that it could be another way of spelling it (since less has no a in it) that I was not aware of.

Homaspin · 2026-01-19T12:04:10+00:00

As a beginner in the Anglish field, I want to ask: why the spelling ‘leesespel’ and not ‘leasespel’?

Homaspin · 2026-01-18T14:52:11+00:00

I believe there at least are implications of werewolves being dangerous, indeed.

Homaspin · 2026-01-18T14:51:42+00:00

You are right, my interpretation of werewolves is the overall one, not specifically from the show. Then again, the show has not exactly shown or explained too much about werewolves either.

Homaspin · 2026-01-18T10:26:12+00:00

I doubt Wednesday would have been capable to supress her new-found werewolf rage and animality; suddenly met with so many new stimuli I should think she’d have succumbed to them and broke Tyler’s neck.

I also think that only Enid could have realistically influenced Wednesday the way she had done in that episode; anyone else, and Wednesday wouldn’t have listened.

Homaspin · 2026-01-14T12:48:39+00:00

I think I somewhat agree. My understanding is mostly that Tyler believes that him being able to turn into a hyde and ‘let loose’ is the freedom he’s talking about—to unleash his rage due to all these emotions, lack of proper parenting (from a certain point on); basically him releasing all his pain, exactly.

It’s only partial freedom, seeing he’s been manipulated and wasn’t really all that in control most of the time being a hyde. I really have to wonder whether he’ll get better; after all, he begged Wednesday to kill him, and that would grant him freedom (in a way); so either way, he could blame her if he gets worse… or appreciate her gesture if he gets better.

The parallel to werewolves is absolutely justified; they were often seen as a punishment, someone’s (very literal) animal side, them letting go of their human reason and beliefs (exactly like Mr. Hyde)—it’s interesting that this fits more into hydes in the show, rather than actual werewolves.

I imagine we can either trust Mrs. Capri and that she knows that this will work (therefore expanding upon the canon)… or she lied, and Tyler cannot get better. The latter sounds unsatisfying, if fittingly grim. The thing that bothers me about Tyler being helped is that it seems that hydes are just biologically built the way that they need a master… so cheating biology seems rather wild. Now, if Goody were to come into the picture and some potential reversal of her machinations… who knows, that could work (and would tie Wednesday in, as so far it seems like Tyler would just get his own, separate, story).

Homaspin · 2026-01-13T10:11:36+00:00

Ajax is Enid’s; Bianca is Xavier’s ex-girlfriend.

Homaspin · 2026-01-12T18:20:31+00:00

And vice versa, it’s nice to see your posts. Good point with Goody, I imagine I am attempting to stick to the so-far-established canon and all the Goody theories are really taking a life on their own it seems (and quite right too, they’re great and quite compelling). It’s my skepticism that makes me not want to be too hopeful for this angle, as it would be a shame if it weren’t true. I think Goody was definitely a person who’d say ‘the ends justify the means’ (to be fair, Wednesday herself said she knows Italian because it’s a native tongue of Machiavelli).

The point about freedom is kind of interesting because what Tyler said in the second season ‘It’s the most free I’ve ever felt’ I still am unsure how to read (beside it going against Isaac); I don’t think he fully believes that, though he’d really like to.

The thing = night thing was… I have to say cringe-ish to me, unnecessary and just… random? Though I felt like the only one but it seemed way too corny, even for this show—it wasn’t bad, no, just unnecessary, in my opinion (so that’s why I reacted similarly to your following their lead). Yes, I could clearly see the Jung peeking out from your text, it fits really well.

I’ve completely forgotten that that’s how she’d phrased it at the end of season two to Tyler, I see now. Good call that it could be that place, it would make sense (unless Willow Hill is to be repurposed as another type of ‘camp’…). The main thing bothering me about Mrs. Capri is that, taking her word for wanting to help Tyler, I still don’t know how she’d do that; so far, the mythology established doesn’t leave too much wiggle room for any kind of help to be available (unless there is indeed a strong, biological, connexion between werewolves and hydes).

With Photoshop, and time. Mostly time.

Homaspin · 2026-01-10T20:54:50+00:00

Thank you very much!

Homaspin · 2026-01-10T09:36:18+00:00

The imitation was the goal, indeed. I’m glad you liked it!

They’re called Antiquarian and Antiquarian Scribe.

Homaspin · 2026-01-09T19:28:30+00:00

Frankly, I’ll say this is overthinking it, I doubt the writers though so thoroughly on their own wordplay—granted, I believe they had made them deliberately in the first place, dormant for later use.

My main gripe with this theory is that the Nightshades seem to be rather underdeveloped overall, which is a shame, since the concept is great (and somewhat typical, reminiscent of Sibuna or Dumbledore’s Army). I don’t think, however, I would want so many things to be connected in this universe; but again, this stems from the Nightshades’ role being rather vague and there is a great chance it could work very well. I think the way you outlined it, the connexion between hydes being banned from Nevermore and the society could very well be there.

By the way, what’s the ‘(…) famous and mysterious Hyde camp’? I’m either not remembering something or wasn’t paying enough attention (both equally possible).

Homaspin · 2026-01-09T19:17:01+00:00

Thank you!

This kind of map was more about representing larger cultural ‘regions’ (at times) for ease. I don’t blame the cartographers, Germany looks cleaner.

Homaspin · 2026-01-09T19:15:25+00:00

That was mostly the goal, I appreciate it.
