Good morning! I’m salty.
I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.
This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.
You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.
“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.
If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.
one of the reasons i love wednesday/enid so much is how much enid respects wednesday’s boundaries without her having to say much (or more accurately, nothing at all)
we see this they first time they meet, when enid accepts that wednesday isn’t a hugger. she doesn’t push wednesday or try to change this fact (something we see the boys do when they try to make wednesday do something she isn’t interested in/not ready for)
and although enid does try to hug wednesday later in the episode, she does nothing more than hold her arms out and step forward. she repeats her earlier statements and leaves wednesday be
this is also after their balcony talk, where enid shares about her vulnerabilities with not being able to wolf out, and wednesday shares in return. they’ve gone from being at each other throats (hyperbole) to enid wishing wednesday safe travels. enid also recognizes how wednesday sharing, in a attempt to comfort her, is her being vulnerable as well, and without prompting she promises not to tell anyone
during the window shots, we can see how enid keeps her distance from the divide between their sides, and it is wednesday who steps closer to enid, even if it just a small bit
in episode eight, as they are packing wednesday’s things and enid goes to try and hug her one last time, when wednesday retreats, enid takes a step back as well. (wednesday also steps closer when enid moves away)
the final moment that solidifies that when it comes to bridging the distance between them, although enid tries more often, it is wednesday who fully closes that cap. in the hig, wednesday doesn’t just return the hug, she pulls enid back in and gets as close to enid as she can (burying her face in enid’s shoulder, something enid doesn’t really do). enid is assuring herself wednesday is safe. wednesday is seeking comfort. she closes her eyes and moves her hand against enid’s back
there are other small, and some may say insignificant moments (like in episode two when enid jokes that wednesday can just ‘glare uncomfortably’), but one moment that did stick out to me was when enid returns to their room
it’s obvious that enid missed wednesday (and vice versa) but she is willing to put in the boundaries wednesday had previously set. she wants to be closer to wednesday but not to the point where wednesday is uncomfortable, and she’s willing to wait for wednesday to become comfortable on her own timeline
the point im trying to make through all my incessant (and probably incomprehensible, given i just spat this out) ramblings, is that ENID RESPECTS WEDNESDAY’S BOUNDARIES in a way other characters don’t seem to
You were once the demon king. “Defeated” by the hero, you went into hiding to pursue a simpler life. Today the “hero” has appeared, threatening you family to pay tribute, not realizing who you actually are. Today you show them what happens when you have something worth fighting to protect.
