"how can m/f ships be good-" first of all through the power of bisexuality anything is possible so write that down. second of all if we start othering ships based on gender and nothing else we're no better than the opposition. third of all you need to watch more addams family
Gomez and Morticia Addams got divorced. I woke up mortified and with a sense of inexplicable dread.
you literally don’t need any other plot and i would watch the movie
This. All of this.
the fixation upon Gomez Addams as a hypothetical "rich to be eaten/guillotined" as opposed to discussions of radicalizing the Addams family into redistributing willingly (which is arguably in character for most adaptations if not all) shows how deep seated the idea of necessary punishment is within modern leftist ideals. In spite of the strength of Gomez's sense of justice, honor, and equality - traits everyone including the jokesters at large unanimously adore him for - the prevailing attitude is one of antagonism and absolutism. Forbes said the Addams family are Rich, so we would need to Kill Them.
Tumblr has simultaneously painted the Addams as a family that would take in anyone, house students and newcomers, generously give their time and money and assets away; and at the same time, claims the resources that allow them to do these things we laud them for make them inherently evil and in need of destruction.
It Says A Lot about how people don't understand that the phrase "eat the rich" is not a call for class genocide, its a warning about what desperate working dogs do when starved and beaten ad infinitum. This is all hypothetical discussion. Gomez Addams, and indeed any "good rich" people, does not actually exist.
But I do find the way we discuss him and his hypothetical wealth very interesting. I'd sooner put Scrooge McDuck against the wall, because he can't be changed. But the Addams family? They're inherently counterculture by existing as a fun house reflection of nuclear family values. Pick you battles kids, cmon.
This is a brilliant way to frame many of the online misunderstandings surrounding class/wealth issues and social change, but mostly I'm just reblogging for the phrase "I'd sooner put Scrooge McDuck against the wall."
Another reason I want more Addams Family with the 90s cast is I think it would be so nice to see Morticia uncorseted and aging gracefully. I don't think she'd go full Grandmama but do you really think an Addams is afraid of wrinkles and cellulite?
Look me in the eye and tell me Anjelica Huston doesn't still have it.
Some normie to Morticia: don't do _______, it will give you wrinkles.
Gomez: God, I hope so.
at morticia's 50th birthday party everyone's making Over The Hill jokes with the same envious joy you would celebrate your cousin's hundred million dollar lottery win. the "hill" decorations are various piles of rats, bones, garbage, severed limbs. there's a lot of chains and stolen crucifixes around instead of party streamers. the cake is a graveyard hill and they cut it with a visibly filthy shovel.
'one foot in the grave' gomez tells his wife, actively crying, 'and what a foot!'
morticia has the first slice of cake (it has a little sugar grave on it). when she finishes her delicate spoonful and smiles, the camera zooms in and we see she has spontaneously developed crow's feet. off camera is the sound of her husband really unsubtly orgasming.
after the party they drive off in a hearse with glass bottles of formaldehyde tied to the bumper. it says JUST OLD in the back.
the unsubtle orgasm noises continue.
pick one you bald genderless idiot
Villains in Addams Family movies go to really unnecessary lengths to defraud them of the family fortune. These people just give it away on whims all the time. If I just walked into the house and started wearing their clothes and spending their money, they wold start introducing me as Cousin Intruder and forget there was ever a time I didn’t live with them.
There’s a whole plotline in the Addams Family Musical where Morticia and Gomez realize at the same time they each thought Grandmama was the other one’s parent and no one knows who the hell she is, and literally nothing changes because, well, she’s Grandmama now.
Gomez’s life’s ambition is to be a failed investor, just walk up to him and say “I’ve got this crazy idea, it’ll probably never work, but I need 5 million dollars to try” and he’ll just shout “brilliant!” Then sword fight you and give you the money
And because it’s Gomez whatever you do with the money will end up outrageously profitable
i find it impossibly funny that this is the canon reason for the adam family fortune. gomez desperately wants to be a failed investor and lose it all, but every single unhinged thing he throws money at *somehow* ends up becoming wildly successful
I had a Thought today I want to share:
Gomez and Morticia Addams are the template Cavalier/Necromancer
Thank You and Good Night u_u
There is no shame in loving without abandon. ✌️❤️
And the real trick to it is falling madly in love with literally everything. Gomez Addams isn't just madly in love with Morticia, he's madly in love with his house, with his train set, with his kids, with his brother, with his weird normie neighbors, with literally everything. Different kinds of love for each, but love all the same. For having such morbid tastes, Gomez is madly in love with life. THAT'S how you land a Morticia, by being unapologetically and madly in love with everything around you.
Bitches love me for my passionate swag and my unrelenting appreciate for the zest of life
there's something about morticia and gomez, miss piggy and kermit, howl and sophie that is not at all cishet. at their core they're for gay people
Don't forget Jesse and James

maybe reddit isn't that bad after all
aren’t we all just trying to be morticia addams just a little bit
Some of us are trying to be Gomez actually
honorable. respectable. where would we be without you

Gomez’s Twitter bio is something rather benign and normal like “Father. Husband. Lawyer. Businessman. “To define is to limit.” - Oscar Wilde”
But his posts are totally wild bordering on incomprehensible. They’re like “On This Day in 1703 Our Great Aunt Calpurnia Addams Danced Nude In The Village Square For Nearly 14 Hours And Placed A Minister In Her Thrall. #TheFutureIsFemale #HERStory” and then the post after that is Pugsley with Aristotle stuck to his face like the facehuggers in Alien and then the post after that is just several pictures of Morticia from slightly different angles with a caption about how he would gladly kill for her.
MORE TRANS TAKES:
-gomez and morticia from the Addams Family (1991) are t4t and this is extremely important to me.
-RATIONALE:
-1st of all, the drama. the aesthetic. the class. wow. trans rights.
-2nd of all. it makes better narrative sense - what better send-up of the classic nuclear family than to have a version of it that would make conservative cishets cry?? They’re a Normal Family :) and theyre also Both trans. terrifying. love it.
-3rd of all: morticia v tall and beautiful. elegant. the class. the queer vibes. wow.
-4th of all: gomez short. fashionable. handsome. dramatic. mind-bogglingly queer vibes.
-5th of all: of course it wouldnt be mentioned in the film?? why would it be remarkable for the addams family 2 have trans people in it?? no one in that family would question it.
-i said so thats why
I 100% support this galaxy brain take on all the Addams Family are and stand for.
gomez gestated all the kids himself but morticia went to the ER *exclusively for the drama*
Addams Family - Gomez and Morticia paper cut-outs
still maybe my favorite couple of all cinema…
