I'm quickly rewatching part 1 just now but i've been thinking about some stuff for the past 4 weeks, specially when i've been mainly keeping up with the fandom on twitter, which was... not very fun

The pack getting some ikea kallax for Enid

Eugene never actually rejected Pugsley's friendship, just said that he needed some time before going along (specially after being electrified, then reminded of his attack, then had his bugs being threatened of being eaten once again) so I don't agree with the reading of Eugene being 'mean' this season, he's definitely wary of him and also wanting his 5 minutes of fame to finally get friends, but overall he's not particularly unfair to Pugsley

Shot of Ajax with his left eye in the light just after talking of the left eye of the skull tree (also a lot of focus on eyes this season...)

Enid saying the most romantic line about Wednesday and Bruno saying that he'd wish he had someone like that just after, while being flirty? he's already comparing himself to Wednesday somewhat

Agnes's group has a shapeshifter, it's a possibility that she will be used at some point in part 2

It felt like most of the moments of Wednesday's relationship with her parents was wasted on the book, as in: 'she had the book this whole time?' 'she took my book' 'i didnt hide the book here' 'lets duel for the book' 'i'm burning the book'. Wasted a lot of time for Wednesday on finding how to save Enid while Morticia keeps being very unhelpful with psychic visions, so that felt frustrating to me

The camping episode was not as fun as the Poe cup episode, but it does fit the theme of outcast pride vs normies with Dort, the werewolf run as human was pretty bad looking mostly because why would they even run on all fours as humans? it's not adapted to it, also it didn't feel like they were faster that way

Also it's a shame we don't have Yoko and Divina in this season, the Nightshade group feels really empty with now just Bianca, Ajax and Kent in it, even if they had some of their scenes cut in s1 they made the background characters feel more alive than this season, imo, so far the new student characters are Agnes and Bruno, then a bunch of unnamed ones, then Ajax Pugsley and Eugene being a bit more relevant

I read in a Netflix article that Tyler's mother got into hyde mode when giving birth, which is why she got taken away by Willow Hill, i wonder if this was her actually hyde trigger and so, would that make her son her 'master'? probably not but who knows

There's a theme around moth/butterfly also this season, and with the Instagram channel we also got a poem linking a butterfly to Slurp, and a picture of part 2 with Wednesday holding a jar containing a butterfly? moth? i wonder where this is going...

2 different characters saying basically the same thing to Wednesday (might be an unintended repetition in the script)

They didn't show his face just for not having him at some point, but also that could be for season 3 plot

Him preventing Enid twice to threaten Agnes? yeah he's still sus to me, maybe Agnes has blackmail on him or something

Wednesday and Agnes are both referred as 'pint-sized'

The broken glass sound when the white rose fell in the vision must just be from when Wednesday gets ejected through the window

Enid did a better job here than the normies at the Rave'n :)

Between Stonehurst's daughter getting avian powers at some point, Ophelia that got sent to Willow Hill 'years' ago, the freak electrical storm from 'years' ago, and the schizophrenic werewolf in 1992 (linked to Isadora?), gomez not having outcast powers, i wonder how it will all connect

- Michelle Zauner’s Crying in H Mart: A Memoir, which I started last year, but have been getting through very slowly on the account of all the tearing up I do every time I start reading it again (’: 

- Tamsyn Muir’s Harrow the Ninth, because it’s about time. 

- Stephen King’s The Shining, because it’s truly about time, for real. 

- Terry Pratchett’s Mort, because my friends say that it’s about time. 

- Rachel Louise Snyder’s No Visible Bruises, because my sister really wants her book back, apparently, and that’s the least I can do, lmao.  

Looks like whoever Wednesday freed from Willow Hill has white roses on her dress...

Theory time:

So according to the credits in some languages, a certain Françoise is named in the character list, so it's most likely Tyler's mother, plus it would be odd that Fester doesn't recognize Ophelia

In Wednesday's vision, there are crows? ravens? but no crow with red mark, so these birds are not representing Judi's birds Edit: turns out in Xavier's painting, we do see the marked crow holding the white rose on the tombstone, so maybe they didn't bother showing us this crow well in the vision, so I don't really know what to think of it here, but this twitter thread is interesting

Apparently there were only 6 patients in LOIS (including 'Françoise'), so it seems Ophelia is not there (anymore?) maybe she got away at some point, or she died there

Ophelia might actually be the new guide for Wednesday, but considering what happened to her, her way to guide may be overly dramatic and much more cryptic that what Goody would do

The crow in the vision is holding a white rose, and drops it on Enid's tombstone, which breaks the rose with a porcelain sound?

So if it's Tyler's mother that just got released, she must be particularly unstable, and she is a Hyde which is one of the most dangerous outcasts

That been said I would be surprised if the major threat is once again a Hyde, feels too close to season 1, but maybe the twist is Françoise's master...
