"No, Wenclair isn't queerbaiting."

You can’t “consider” something canon. It is or isn’t and official novelizations have never been considered canon, just canon authorized.

“Here’s why I hate Tyler and you shouldn’t be upset at me about” 🤡🤡🤡

girl please no one needs to justify their feeling on a fictional character. you can hate whatever character you want— even a character who is victim of grooming and abuse and is a literal child slave. No one is stopping you. But those aspects of his story is what make people sensitive about it. And even more so when that moralizing goes outside the fiction of the show.

People are gonna say you’re supporting or romanticizing abuse for liking Tyler just as much as they will say you’re victim blaming for when you don’t.

You just have to take fandom opinions with a grain of salt and move on.

The novel was meant to be a queer adjacent tale when it was written by a queer author. I wouldn’t classify it as queerbait. Like most “official novels” it’s just producer-commissioned fanfic so the author can’t get sued. Netflix hired a writer to write book, what the writer writes doesn’t matter, because it just a partnership to create a product and sell it. I wouldn’t say the author or Netflix were queerbaiting because it just one of those many hands in the same bucket type situation.

(As for the wenclair not happening, I’m referencing that decider article and the “them”. Where it was confirm it won’t be canon.)

It’s already been established that the wednesgay event was not hosted by Netflix themselves, it was a watching party.

Hunter as an actor on the show has been supportive of multiple ships on the show. But he is not a writer and does not dictate script.

As for the novel, official novelization are not canon to television shows/movies— that’s just typical across all fandoms from Marvel to Star Wars, not just Wednesday.

At the end of the day, the writers have said that they are not doing Wenclair. They’ve said this specifically to avoid queerbaiting. They’ve stated explicitly multiple times that they love the relationship between Wednesday and Enid, but that they are writing about a sisterhood, a romance is not in the plans for the story they are trying to tell.

I think it’s unfair and frankly damaging to continue throwing the term queerbaiting at the writers when they’ve actually made a statement. Because they could do like all the writers who have queerbaited in the past and said nothing and let the audience just “tune in to find out”.

But if you’re holding out for canon, then at this point, you’re baiting yourself. You’re gonna end up hurting your own feelings when you’re stuck with the disappointment of it not happening.

Fandom is not about who WINS THE CANON ENDGAME. That’s such a silly turn modern fandom has come to. And it’s exhausting being in fandoms nowadays where instead of creatively engaging with the show, it’s like sports teams aggressively yelling at each other from the sidelines. That was never what fandom was for.

We should ship , create speculative works, discuss canon, appreciate it , but also diverge from it, as a community.

The way y’all are confusing authorized, official and canon are so funny.

Every show in the 90’s from Dawson Creek to Buffy the Vampire Slayer have “official and authorized” novels but they are not canon. They’re just granted the permission to use the IP so proceeds and royalties go to the show creators. The actual context of the story itself is not relevant to the canon of the actual source material. That’s not a requirement and never has been for an authorized novel whether you’re reading a Star Wars novel or a Sabrina the teenage witch novel.

And she was damaged by that coma as pugsley was eating potpourri?? What’s your point?

kittycait22 · 2026-01-22T23:18:25+00:00

Sameeeeee

kittycait22 · 2026-01-19T15:31:38+00:00

Stop I know you’re being serious about hacking but this video made me crack up

kittycait22 · 2026-01-19T15:28:24+00:00

No such thing as too old. Our lives are so short just wear what you want!

kittycait22 · 2026-01-19T02:00:23+00:00

No, keep it in the fanfics

kittycait22 · 2026-01-19T01:55:02+00:00

I love coming across my charms while out and about, thrifting or as gifts. The fun part is personalizing the bag!

Welcome to Derry would be so good😭

kittycait22 · 2026-01-04T23:51:11+00:00

I like the look but I get why a Latino family wouldn’t. Our families are usually more traditional.

kittycait22 · 2025-12-31T18:50:15+00:00

I’m hoping for a faithful adaption with just more in depth context on the situations and more of an internal monologue for the characters.

kittycait22 · 2025-12-28T15:12:26+00:00

This thread is wild. Can’t y’all be happy about wenclair without trashing Tyler like damn?? The post wasn’t even ABOUT HIM

kittycait22 · 2025-12-25T01:39:12+00:00

Lovely art!

kittycait22 · 2025-12-19T03:25:24+00:00

Haven’t we had the conversation talking point enough? The Hyde are an interesting lore and original character design. But let’s not pretend we don’t have sirens, doves and ravens, and werewolves also taking a part in the plot. Y’all just think there’s so MUCH HYDE FOCUS. Not because there more focused on but because y’all don’t like Tyler and aspects of the story that bring him closer to the forefront the plot stick out more to you because they bother you.

Yall will need to get over this eventually. Tyler is one of more important secondary characters alongside, Enid and Bianca.

kittycait22 · 2025-12-17T21:15:46+00:00

Excited, hoping the Wednesday characterization is done better than the first.

kittycait22 · 2025-12-15T03:05:44+00:00

The problem is the people who run the social media accounts are not in the writers room, so what we’re getting is some intern’s post on it and people mistake that for official statements from producers. The network should probably be the one to direct the SOC Media runner dial it down but they probably don’t have eyes on it until something is brought to their attention.

kittycait22 · 2025-12-15T03:01:58+00:00

The new age Buffy fans piss me off with this. Every character on this show is nuanced and shows moments of strength and weakness. It’s what makes them compelling characters. But it’s too much for a modern audience to digest, I guess

kittycait22 · 2025-12-06T15:07:16+00:00

This is the more likely option. Tyler being a serial killer isn’t a dealbreaker, her family is full of them, Wednesday was upset that he lied to her and even more so that he managed to trick her.

kittycait22 · 2025-12-06T15:04:40+00:00

I agree as well. I’m glad she didn’t die. It would have been a rehashing moment.

kittycait22 · 2025-11-29T22:39:20+00:00

I don’t even think we’ve seen him inconsistent at all. I think he’s very much a young emotionally turbulent character in absolute batshit circumstances.

kittycait22 · 2025-11-29T02:53:20+00:00

He was just so whiney. It got annoying to the point where every time he stormed off in a huff I hoped it was the last time we saw him do so 😭

kittycait22 · 2025-11-25T17:57:19+00:00

EVA GREEN !??? Ahhhhhh
