The way he tries to match her dance always kills me😆😆I love them. Anyway I want to talk about wyler and wenclair. Hold up before you start with the “Enid and Wednesday are soulmates” thing, let’s actually talk about what Tyler means to Wednesday. Tyler wasn’t just some random crush; he was the one person who broke through her walls when literally no one else could. He saw both sides of her the dark, snarky one and the small part that wants to be understood.

Yeah, he messed up. He was Hyde, he lied, all of that. But what makes Wyler interesting isn’t perfection it’s the conflict. Wednesday is chaos and control mixed together, and Tyler mirrors that same energy. They’re both struggling with their darker sides, and that’s exactly why their chemistry hits different.

And come on when they’re together? That tension could burn Nevermore to the ground. Enid is sunshine, sure, but Tyler is storm. And Wednesday? She was born for the storm.

Both Wednesday and Tyler understand what it’s like to carry something dangerous inside them. Wednesday’s obsession with death and mystery matches Tyler’s hidden Hyde side. They’re reflections of each other two people drawn to the shadows but still searching for control. That makes their bond deeper and more intense than just friendship or crush-level connection.

From their first scene together, there’s a spark that’s impossible to ignore. The tension, the glances, the “I shouldn’t trust you but I still want you” vibe it’s electric. Even when things fall apart, the emotional pull between them doesn’t fade. That kind of connection means their story isn’t over; it’s complicated, but real love stories usually are like this. wyler brings out Wednesday’s emotions. Wednesday usually hides behind sarcasm and logic, but with Tyler, she actually feels. She smiles, she flirts a little, she lets her guard downsomething no one else can make her do. That shows how real their connection is; he unlocks a side of her she didn’t even know she had.

Also Their story is unfinished. Season 2 showed that Tyler’s arc isn’t done he’s still tied to Wednesday emotionally, and deep down, she hasn’t fully moved on either. The unresolved tension between them proves that the writers want us to keep wondering what could happen if they both faced their darkness together instead of running from it.

You can ship whoever you want, but let’s be real—Wyler isn’t just a ship, it’s a storm.

Tyler and Wednesday aren’t some cute, simple love story, that everyone wants, like bfr she's Wednesday addam. They’re fire and gasoline, shadow and spark. He’s the only one who ever made her feel the only one who got past her walls and saw what was really underneath.

They share the same darkness. She hides it behind her cold stare, he fights it in the form of the Hyde. But that’s what makes them perfect for each other they understand the parts everyone else runs from.

This is my gushing analysis of how thematically beautiful the Wyler relationship is.

Their relationship is based on the idea and progression of freedom. I can already hear the screams of the damned pointing out all the times they have undermined each other's freedom—so don't worry I'll address that.

We see their relationship ebb and flow and eventually settle on the belief that they’re willing to fight to uphold each other’s freedom. It doesn't always progress linearly but what is fascinating to me is how their FIRST interaction is about Tyler respecting/upholding Wednesday's freedom (cue the GIF I posted up top), and their LAST interaction revolves around Wednesday literally freeing Tyler from his restraints. That's absolute cinema to me. So now that we've established that freedom is the core thematic motif in Wyler...

This brings us to the analysis: why is freedom as a base thematic concept for Wyler so intriguing? AKA: why should we judge ships in Wednesday based on the freedom value).

Let's think about Tyler and Wednesday as individual characters + their character progression.

Tyler: his whole plot has been about the denial of his freedom. Thornhill actively controlled him, manipulated him, groomed him, etc. Once he got out of that bond, he was imprisoned in Willow Hill. After escaping, he was bonded to his mother (better, by all means, but still not necessarily great in terms of autonomy). Eventually, he is forcibly restrained with the end objective of removing his hyde powers without his consent.

Wednesday: craves the freedom to be unfettered as herself. Lots of S1 is spent with people (roommates, administrations, miscellaneous adults) trying to confine her into a box. Enid is constantly pushing her to restrain herself and be less Wednesday-esque, Weems is always pushing her to chill out (primarily S1), Sheriff Galpin spent all S1 telling her to piss off and stay constrained at school (understandable but still thematically relevant), Xavier is always pushing her to be a little more like the conventional girlfriend, etc. Her whole arc in S1 especially revolves around breaking rules, sneaking out, and lashing out to try and make a statement of freedom and originality. Honestly, this theme continues in S2 by highlighting her desire for control. Control, for Wednesday, is equal to freedom (freedom to keep people out of her business and to flourish in her Wednesday-esque way).

So, freedom is a (if not the) core thematic thread that Tyler and Wednesday are grappling with throughout their respective character progressions. Then when we examine the Wyler dynamic, a LOT of it revolves around respecting each other's freedom:

Their whole relationship began with Tyler helping Wednesday regain some freedom by offering to drive her to the train station.

Tyler constantly embraces Wednesday's desire to be herself ("I knew there was a reason I liked you"; "You're not scary, you're just kinda...kooky."

The big one: Wednesday "missing" with that axe

On Wednesday's side, you see this desire to defend Tyler's freedom more slowly (deliberately slow) as she's STRUGGLING to accept that she has feelings for Tyler. In fact, we constantly see Wednesday trying to be as loud and obvious as possible that she "totally" doesn't like Tyler Galpin. She sounds exactly like an angsty teenager trying to insist that she doesn't care about someone (even though she spends a ridiculous amount of time trying to interact with him)—every time you can see her loudly trying to deny the fact that she wants him free. Essentially putting on shows/proclamations that she doesn't want this freedom for him. But when it comes down to it, she chooses what she wants most for him is to give him the same freedom she gave her.

Overall, their relationship throughout the show is characterized by their desire to uphold each other's freedoms. You can see when their relationship is rocky because of the denial of each other's freedom; but ultimately, their story starts and ends (so far) with the protection of their shared core value.
