would it be crazy if this goth chick ive never seen before became my new favourite celebrity

Sometime after Nevermore, Wednesday's books are finally published and picked up for a movie franchise. Unfortunately for her, their success means she is thrust into the limelight. Enid, however, is living.

(A celebrity social media AU, featuring BuzzFeed articles, late night shows, shameless online flirting but mostly, the hellscape that is Twitter.)

replying to @hoehoehoe @LateNightSeth

No she doesn’t. She’s notoriously very elusive, I’m surprised she went on Late Night at all tbh. I guess it was just to promote BotS. Probably the WB’s doing.

Author, Director And Screenwriter Wednesday Addams Did Her First Interview And Yeah, It Kinda Went Viral

 

Master of the horror-mystery genre, Wednesday Addams has always sat in that niche between well-known and totally anonymous.

 

TMZ @TMZ

Wednesday Addams seen leaving a hotel in LA.

[attached is one of the only tabloid photos of Wednesday, taken just after the BotS adaptation was announced. The photo is blurry. In it, she is obscuring her face with a hoodie, though we can see her scowling.]

 

But after a recent marketing push by Warner Bros. leading up to Blood of the Skulker’s cinematic release in a few months, she made her first public appearance on television.

And suddenly, we’re all obsessed.

 

[link to the now-famous Wednesday Addams interview with Seth Meyers]

[attached partial video transcript:

Wednesday is sitting bolt-upright in the armchair next to Seth’s desk, hands folded in her lap, wearing a long black dress and a glare. Seth is leaning towards her and still attempting an amiable smile.]

Seth: So, Wednesday. I have to say, when me and my writing staff were frantically trying to come up with questions to ask you, we barely had enough paper to write them all down. It’s like we know nothing about you.

Wednesday: [narrows her eyes] Where is the question?

Seth: [coughs awkwardly] Um—

Wednesday: Well, I suppose it’s “like” you know nothing because you do know nothing, an outcome of the very intentional choices I have made since first being published.

Seth: Yes, your infamous private persona.

Wednesday: It’s not a persona.

Seth: [looks off-camera for a moment, then down at his desk as if consulting notes] Well, let’s talk being published.

Wednesday: [sighs] Let’s.

Seth: You started writing the first Viper de la Muerte book when you were in middle school, right?

Wednesday: [she takes a long pause punctuated by a scathing look] Yes.

Seth: And still, it took you until your early twenties to get them published. Why is that?

Wednesday: Most publishers are weak-stomached. Apparently, my books contained overt amounts of gore which made them “concerned for my mental state.” If I wasn’t recommended a psychiatrist, I was advised to cut down large portions of my writing in order to preserve the fragile minds of censorship-coddled American man-babies.

Seth: [swallows nervously] And still, when they were published, they were a smash hit with readers all around the world, so I guess the joke’s on them.

Wednesday: [disdainfully] Apparently so. [pause] Sorry, people watch this show?

[about half the audience laughs, like they’re not sure if they’re allowed to. Wednesday looks at them, confused and startled]

Seth: [jokingly] Well, you’re definitely not a suck-up, Wednesday, and I appreciate that.

[whole audience laughs]

[end of transcript]

 

The interview is almost painful to watch, and yet we can’t look away.

It’s limitations such as these that force the modern writer to water down their their points, that simplify the vocabulary of young minds, that murder creativity and originality and intelligence and will eventually go on to kill the literary scene in cold blood, as if by (1/2)

Wednesday Addams’s Following List Explained: The Nevermore Class Of ’25

 

Since joining Twitter a few weeks ago, Wednesday Addams has shown the first glimpse of her personality to the public, and we can’t get enough.

 

Wednesday Addams ✔ @w_addams

quote tweeting @trump2032

If I ever find you in person, I will flay your skin from your bone. I would call you a worm but such a thing would be an insult to every annelid that has ever crawled the earth.

 

As well as absolutely eviscerating bigots, Wednesday has been busy roasting the only other people she seems to regularly interact with: fashion designer and internet personality Enid Sinclair, local semi-famous New York street artist Xavier Thorpe, and mysterious PhD student Eugene Ottinger who seems to only post about bees.

Wednesday’s following list also consists of pretty much just these three people, and, more recently, renowned fencer Bianca Barclay.

 

Bianca Barclay ✔ @biancabarclay

@w_addams well, look who finally crawled out of social obscurity to join Twitter. Congratulations.

 

Wednesday Addams ✔ @w_addams

replying to @biancabarclay

I hope you fall over onto your sword and it impales your brain through your eye.

 

But what does it all mean?

We here at BuzzFeed did some digging, and despite what is apparently a tumultuous relationship between Wednesday and her following list, they appear to have graduated from the same class at the elusive Nevermore Academy.

 

Enid Sinclair ✔ @enidsinclair

excited to revisit my roots and give a talk at my old high school!! nevermore really brought me to where i am today. SO happy for it to do the same for a new generation of students :) #nevermore2025

Fuck this shit. I’m out, bitches #nevermore2025

[attached photo of a younger Eugene. The photo is a close-up showing half of his face and Nevermore Academy in the background. He is sticking out his tongue and flipping off the camera]

 

Though the evidence of Wednesday also being a Nevermore Academy graduate is inconclusive (shocker, we know) we wouldn’t be surprised if she gets her exclusive following list from being a part of the talented class of 2025.

You are Wednesday Addams! You don’t take sh*t from anybody. You love expressing yourself creatively, both with your fashion choices and your art. You have a dry sense of humor, and though not everybody gets it, you have a close circle of friends who appreciate you (and probably a few admirers, as well)!]

OH.

Notes:

for someone who usually rolls their eyes at chatfics i sure do love myself a celebrity au. maybe it's all the time i spent as a kid pretending to be interviewed in the mirror. anyway.

i have no idea if this fic has an audience at all, i mostly wrote it to take a break from my other wips and satisfy my own craving for it. i'll be honest, i spent most of my time learning about html formatting.

anyway! if this goes well and i don't hate myself by the end of it, i might write some more stuff in this au like wired autocomplete interviews, cringey buzzfeed articles, wednesday absolutely roasting people on stan twitter... you get it. hope you enjoyed :)
