As much as I focus on shipping on this blog, I also have standards when it comes to writing and oh lord does Tyler needs a break!

Imagine being a 16-17 year old teen that was raised by a single father who was implied to have issues with alcoholism and acting distant with his own son, losing your mother and living with the fact that she was dead (until it was proven otherwise). Tyler was groomed by a woman obsessed with a monster inside of him, which made it all the more tragic when S2 revealed that male hydes are in need of a master in order to survive. If that condition isn't met, they suffer mentally and also physically. Willow Hill must've left him with severe trauma and trust issues, becoming someone who can be manipulated by his mother and uncle due to his weak mental state, all under the guise of taking revenge on the Addams family + Enid.

With that being said, it is safe to say that Tyler never had a stable support system in his life. His mother and uncle weren't of any help either, as they further indulged his fantasies - not to mention that both Francoise and Isaac were shown to have their own issues, being far too close for siblings who simply care about each other. We all noticed that Tyler still has some humanity left in him, being visibly conflicted when Isaac berried Wednesday and his broken state when he lost Francoise for a second time. I have a hunch he doesn't think that anyone could ever really love him for who he is, implying that Wednesday only fell in love with the monster he harbors.

The relationship that he has with Wednesday is the most fleshed out one thus far, as they started as strangers, then became friends and love interest, in the end becoming enemies after Tyler "reveals" himself to be a hyde. The concept is interesting and their dynamic is great in my eyes, but becoming romantically entwined in the end would butcher both characters. Consequences have actions, Tyler is actively trying to hurt Enid (Wednesday's best friend) to punish Wednesday and caused harm to her family. It is implied that Wednesday still cares about Tyler, which makes sense but I wouldn't say it is romantic per se. Wednesday was shown to be attracted to kind characters, which Tyler sadly isn't, judging by his actions- iykyk.

All that I want to see is him getting help, getting the support system that he needs that doesn't amount to toxic environment that causes him to spiral further and hurt people that could've been his friends. If things ended up differently, if his redemption does eventually come forth, I hope it is well written.

I AM NOT OKAY! THE FINALE KILLED ME AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER FOR A LONG TIME!

Enid literally sacrificed her future and basically set the timer for her worst fear to begin and slowly but surely, the loneliness she was scared of feeling manifested because she saved her best friend. You can literally see the moment Wednesday realized what happened. LORD, I AM NOT OKAY!

The fact that Wednesday (despite her *sometimes* mischaracterized personality in the show) still shows care and protectiveness, in her own way, towards a person who genuinely cares about her 🤧

If Enid was a man, ppl would eat that up and call them soulmates but here we are.

It would be in character for her to just give one big middle finger to societal norms and have a werewolf gf— Tyler, who again I love as a character, literally uses Enid to threaten Wednesday and cause her to give him a good verbal slap in the face!
