...Get to know each other.

What a grand suggestion from his dear old bat of a mother! No, he wasn’t being sarcastic. Not completely, anyway. Deep down, he knew that it was a reasonable piece of advice. If the two families were to come together, then this would be an ideal starting point.

With Morticia spending time with her future brother-in-law in the lab, Gomez searches the lower hallways for the blonde Frump sister. That initial encounter between them had been tainted with the pressure of an arranged marriage that neither had wanted. It had most definitely affected their first impression of one another, but he was ready to put in the effort this time around. Perhaps they could find common ground and forge a bond of sorts.

It isn’t too difficult to find her — one simply had to follow the trail of petals — and so he allows his mouth to form a smile before he approaches. The woman, perched upon a seat in the conservatory, seemed blissfully at peace with her flowers. Such a display is bizarre to him and yet he bites his tongue and keeps that opinion to himself. At least for now.

“Daisies, yes?” He may despise flowers of every kind, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t know the various types. “There’s some growing down the road. Near our neighbor’s house.” Judge Womack lived across the way and his garden was a nightmare. Vivid flowerbeds and fruit trees galore! The thought alone could make a man weep! “We tried to get rid of them one time, but they keep springing back up.” Fortunately, it wasn’t on their land and Gomez hoped to keep it that way. Of course, it was near impossible for flowers to bloom on their estate for a number of reasons; the lack of sunlight being one of them...

“What are you doing with them?” He settles into the space beside her, his gaze wary as he examines the creation held delicately between slender fingers. Since meeting Ophelia, he couldn’t recall seeing her without flowers in her grasp. It was as if they were an extended part of her body. Like the ones in her hair, the plant-life seemed to have some sort of hold over her very existence.

Send me ♥ and I’ll write some positivity for a blog that I follow.

@patriiiarch - i cannot start off this positivity meme without first gushing about my gomez / my muse’s other half / my favorite scottish gem !! i am forever in awe of starry and her perfect interpretation of gomez addams. literally my blessing, i couldn’t have asked for a better rp partner, seriously. since the moment she first followed me, i was ecstatic and we’ve built up such an amazing rapport, gushing about the addams family, diving into hidden secrets with bts information & detail, really getting into the knitty gritty. we instantly clicked and the rest is history. she has such an amazing understanding of her character (of all of her muses, really) which is so refreshing and fun to experience. she doesn’t sugar-coat anything and her writing is impeccable! not only is she one of the sweetest people i’ve ever come to know on here, but she is equally as talented in everything that she does. her gomez in particular is pure perfection, to the point that my morticia would be nothing without them. we all strive to have that one writing partner where they just make our own muses complete and i found that in starry, of whom i am eternally grateful for. her attention to detail, the mindset she’s created for gomez, literally everything has me caught in an everlasting web of awe. 

@gloomfilled - i have known desii for many years, as she was a fan of mine back when i still portrayed Miriam Blaylock from the hunger featuring catherine deneauve and david bowie. she has continued to be both an amazing friend and writing partner and she puts herself in deep with every character she portrays. the fact that she decided to take on wednesday still amazes me, considering her busy schedule. although she maintains a low activity, she remains present and dedicated which is more than i could ever ask for. on top of that, her love and understanding for this fandom exceeds expectation that adds to her own creativity. she is a fantastic human and i am so incredibly happy for her that she’s recently become engaged with the woman she loves! congratulations, my baby bat ♥ i love you so much! thank you for everything. xx 

@daisiied​ - gin has literally been the one and only person who has stated interest in portraying morticia’s sister, ophelia and has delivered on her promise without holding back or giving up (even using my ideal fc for her!). not only did i gain a sister for my muse, but i gained a friend who’s ideas and interpretation of the character literally match my own and we bond so well in that regard that i cannot help but feel so incredibly grateful. ophelia is not an easy character to take on, granted and it’s understandable as to why all others who have wanted to test her out ended up not wanting to continue. believe me, i get it. but gin embraced the challenge, seemingly with ease and we have had an amazing experience in discussing at length the intricate details of this amazing sisterly relationship with ideas and backstories. she is an incredible individual who is fun and high spirited with such an incredible talent of writing and creativity in so many different ways! it’s been wonderful getting to know her and i am just so honored to have met her on here as a writing partner and friend. everyone should also visit her oc at @highwiitch !! 

@iinspectorjefe - steering away from addams muses for a bit, i have to acknowledge one of my best friends: bo. my treasure ; we have known each other for 3-4 years now and have an amazing partner-ship between her Javier Falcón and my Stella Gibson. a relationship i think we both secretly expected but didn’t automatically assume going in. honestly, all of her muses have been incredibly underappreciated which saddens me, because she is outstanding individual with so much creativity and i adore all of her muses with an intensity that i cannot fully describe! she really does deserve to have more attention than she’s given and she has literally been the bestest friend to me throughout the years. she drove 2 hours just to see one of my shows up in north hollywood and i cannot even begin to state how much that still means to me to this day. i encourage everyone to follow her muse(s) and interact because she’s incredible and such a lovely person. i love you so much, my treasure. never forget. ♥

THE WAY SHE FELT AROUND GOMEZ ADDAMS, held many titles. Miserable, to her, was an endearing term that most couldn’t quite comprehend. But Ophelia understood, like a secret language between the two that rendered outside peers perplexed. A smirk is slowly curled across crimson stained lips, eyes watching as the petals from Ophelia’s bouquet slowly wilted to the floor around her feet. As children, Morticia was always capable of locating her sister’s whereabouts simply by following the trail of rotting flowers and scattered weeds. ❝ Oh, yes. ❞ The very thought of him forces her insides to curl in the most unpleasant way, her head suddenly feeling flushed with heat, dizzy. Such an extraordinary man, to make her feel so nauseated. How she relished in it— in him.

Looking to her sister, Morticia takes a seat on the nearby couch and beckons with both hands for the other to join her. Hands grasping tightly to Ophelia’s own, she pulls her gently forth in that silent request. ❝ And what of you and your happiness? You who deserves such… elation, far more so than I. ❞ She tries to speak in a manner more suited to her sister’s definitions. If it hadn’t been for Ophelia’s understanding and acceptance, her own union to Gomez would not have prospered as easily as it did.

Although it was clear that the eldest did not share in the youngest’s affections towards her original betrothed, marriage had always been a keen factor to which she desperately desired. But even Morticia knew that her sister deserved to find love just as strongly as she herself has now found. Regardless of their differences, she has always held Ophelia in high regard; her closest friend. Keeping hold of her sister’s hand, she pays no mind to the discarded bouquet of stems, never having much fondness for them even in their most tattered state. 

WHEN OPHELIA & MORTICIA WERE LITTLE, they would often experiment by creating new variations of plants. In a way, it was like a bonding experience for them being able to create new forms of life, helping them to grow and be used for future spells — many of which would go wrong. Though there were some, that would prove successful. One instance in particular, involved several carnivorous plants that held traits of cannibalistic tendencies which hadn’t originally been intentional. After displaying them beside a bed of Ophelia’s newly created breeds, the following morning they awoke to find that her plants had completely devoured her sister’s own. Leaving nothing but tattered scraps of weeds and leaves. Ophelia was devastated and cried for hours, leaving Morticia in a state of regret at seeing her eldest sibling so emotional. To make it up to her, Tish took the initiative of assisting Ophelia in recreating them and forever keeping her carnivorous plants away (though their life span never seemed to last very long regardless of how hard she tried). Still, those innocent beds of fully bloomed flowers never seemed to have a chance of survival with Morticia’s cannibalistic creations in existence. 

Lorraine was no great fan of ‘playing psychic’ for audiences, reduced to nothing but a party favour to be ridiculed or accused of manipulation and old parlour tricks as if she was nothing but cheap entertainment for the masses as opposed to a gift-holder. 

But the Addams family and guests? They were quite something else. Odd, perhaps a little too QUIRKY for tastes such as her own and her husbands, but possessors of good hearts all holding a mind for belief.                                          And they payed well, which helped when you worked freelance for                                                                                       the church and wanted to publish a book. 

Besides, they were overtly welcoming to the point of unsettlement, and even with her attempt to contact their so dearly departed having been hours prior, she was still at the house to wait through the night as a guest, socialising as Ed was off with Gomez for something she rather didn’t care to know about. 

As ring-laden hands re-braid Wednesday’s hair for the fifth time that night, hands combing through void blackness with the half asleep girl on the floor between her legs in the gentle bite of the December night, Lorraine becomes aware of the feeling of someone watching - addressing without looking, hands refusing to stop their motions. 

ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT MY CHARACTER!!!

OPHELIA WAS (& STILL IS) MORTICIA’S BESTEST FRIEND all throughout her life. Regardless of their many differences, their loyalty to one another held no bounds. They were like ying and yang ; two sides of the same tombstone — as Morticia would put it — bonded by blood in all of its purity. Where one was weak, the other strengthened and they were consistently at each other’s side, very rarely ever apart. They were individually strange, in their own ways and that only brought them closer together whereas other siblings would normally clash.Growing up hadn’t been easy for either of them, but since they had each other, they were both able to cope and push forward, not allowing anything or anyone to break their minds or spirits. Though many had tried, particularly other children within their neighborhood, Morticia was very protective of her sister as was Ophelia. They had each other’s backs, forming their own sort of coven, their own pack as lone wolves who were cast aside by those who surrounded them and they didn’t mind their solitude to one another.Born in Salem, Massachusetts, they were primarily raised by their mother. Especially after their father’s (untimely) passing, of which they never truly mourned, they eventually moved to a small town in Oregon and continued to study under private tutors. Since they never really had much of a social life with other children, it managed to solidify their inevitable closeness. Ophelia, although older, always held a very child-like demeanor which perhaps was the basis of Morticia’s maternal instincts. She took care of her sister, always comforting her and further assisting on matters in which she struggled. It provided Morticia with a sense of patience and understanding that boded well when she finally had children. Never in her life, did she ever not have someone to look after and so it became a sort of automatic response; thinking of others over herself and her own needs. But so too did Ophelia play the part of protector and confidant, standing up for Morticia and always ensuring her safety when particular situations became too unbearable.                    An excellent example of this, can be found here. Even when considering Gomez Addams - and that of her own children - Ophelia would forever remain a very prominent and important individual in Morticia’s life. Her only friend and the one person who had instantaneously accepted and understood her for who she was without a sense of contempt or malice. Without Ophelia by her side, it’s difficult to say how different Morticia might have been growing up. She is a pulling force, someone always willing of acceptance when it came to others’ differences and oddities which in a way, taught Morticia how to be the same.
