💭 Personal Note: Why I Loved Wednesday
Let’s be real — Wednesday Addams is that girl. With her deadpan stare, murder-mystery obsessions, and cello solos under a full moon, she made gothic cool again. The show blends teen drama, creepy creatures, and razor-sharp wit like a perfectly brewed poison tea. It’s Harry Potter meets Veronica Mars with black nail polish. I didn’t expect to care so much about a psychic Addams playing detective at a haunted boarding school… but here we are. And yes, I too tried the dance in front of my mirror — don’t judge me.
