Wyler

Wyler is the het ship between Wednesday Addams and Tyler Galpin from The Addams Family fandom.

Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe
Wednesday breaks out of therapy and arrives at the coffee place Tyler works at. Tyler is having trouble with the espresso machine and is startled when Wednesday abruptly shows up. He asks if Wednesday has a habit of scaring the hell out of people to which she responds that it's more of a hobby. Tyler quickly figures out that Wednesday is a Nevermore student. Wednesday says she needs a quad over ice since it's an emergency. Wednesday explains what a quad is when Tyler is unable to make it. Tyler tells her that he knows what a quad is, and he points out that they only have drip since the espresso machine is broken. After learning the instructions to the espresso machine are in Italian, Wednesday takes the manual and requests tools. Tyler is taken aback by Wednesday reading Italian, and Wednesday says that it's the native tongue of Machiavelli. Wednesday attempts to make a deal where she fixes the coffee machine and Tyler makes her coffee and calls a taxi. Tyler tells her that there are no taxis in Jericho but she could try Uber. Wednesday says she doesn't have a phone since she refuses to be a slave to technology, and she asks about trains. Tyler informs her that the nearest train station is half an hour away.

Wednesday recognizes the problem the espresso machine is having, and Tyler asks if she has an espresso machine at home. She tells him she built a steam-powered guillotine at the age of ten since she wanted to decapitate her dolls more efficiently. Wednesday gets worried looks from Tyler, who says Grim Reaper Barbie makes total sense. Tyler thanks Wednesday when the espresso machine starts working, and he comments he had never met a Nevermore kid who got their hands dirty. The two introduce themselves to each other, and Tyler offers to drive Wednesday to the train station to show his appreciation. After seeing Wednesday is quick to leave, Tyler tells her that he doesn't get off work for another hour. Wednesday bribes Tyler twice, but he refuses and tells her she'll either have to wait an hour or find someone else to drive her. Wednesday walks away and sits in a booth.

A group of guys from Pilgrim World confront Wednesday. Tyler tells them to back off, but one of the Pilgrim World boys as well as Wednesday herself tell Tyler to stay out of it. Wednesday single-handedly takes down each of the boys and tells Tyler that she learned her moves from her uncle. The sheriff, Tyler's dad, walks in and asks what's going on. Tyler says that the guys from Pilgrim World were harassing Wednesday and she put them in their place by herself. Tyler's father finds out Wednesday is an Addams, and he says that her dad should have been put in jail. Wednesday leaves after Nevermore's principal finds her.

Tyler looks through police files and finds Wednesday's father's file. Later, Wednesday uses Enid's laptop to call Tyler. She writes the number on Thing's hand and gets it to break into Tyler's home. Wednesday says that she's desperate when Tyler brings up how she said she didn't want to be a slave to technology. She asks if Tyler is still willing to help her escape to which he says he figured Wednesday would be in solitary after what happened earlier that day. Wednesdays tells Tyler about the mandatory Harvest Festival that she'll be using as a cover and that she can make it worth Tyler's while if he's willing to drive her to the train station. Tyler says he'll drive Wednesday free of charge, and he tells her that he too wants to leave the hellhole town he lives in.

At the Harvest Festival, Tyler and Wednesday meet behind the parking lot when the fireworks start. Tyler gives Wednesday her father's police file. Wednesday stares at the file, prompting Tyler to ask if she's okay, and she says that she is not used to people engaging with her. She adds that most people see her and cross the street. Tyler says that she's not scary but rather kind of kooky, but Wednesday tells him she prefers the term spooky. The two run into the boys from Pilgrim World. Tyler grabs Wednesday's hand, and they run away. Wednesday bumps into Rowan, and Tyler catches her as she falls and has a vision. Tyler urges Wednesday to leave, but she chases after Rowan. Rowan is about to kill Wednesday, but Tyler, as the Hyde, saves her by killing Rowan.

Woe Is the Loneliest Number
Tyler finds Wednesday as she’s leaving Dr. Kinbott’s office, where he tells Wednesday that he is also legally required to attend therapy sessions. Wednesday makes a joke about the pair being ‘a couple of teenage tearaways.’ Tyler chuckles and asks Wednesday about what happened at the harvest festival. Wednesday tells him that everyone believes she made everything up about Rowan being murdered, but Tyler assures her that he does believe her before disappearing for his therapy session.

Wednesday goes out to the woods, looking for any evidence left behind that Rowan was murdered. Tyler appears behind a tree and grabs Wednesday, covering her mouth with his hand and hiding them from view of his father, who is also scouring the woods with his dog, Elvis. Tyler explains he didn’t want Elvis to pick up on her scent, and pulls a bag of coffee grounds from his pocket, which he used to throw Elvis off their scent. Wednesday thanks him. Tyler assumes Wednesday thinks it’s weird that he’s also out stalking his dad, but on the contrary Wednesday reveals she consistently stalks her parents too. Tyler asks Wednesday what really happened at the festival, promising not to tell his dad. Wednesday admits she thought Rowan was in danger, but she was wrong: Rowan used his telekinesis to try and choke he to death. Tyler is confused why he would do that, and Wednesday doesn’t know either. She goes on to reveal that the monster came out of the shadows and gutted Rowan before he could kill her, and she is still trying to figure out why it saved her. She has a vision after finding Rowan’s glasses and picking them up, and when it’s over Tyler is concerned, asking Wednesday if she is okay.

Friend or Woe
During Outreach Day, Wednesday leaves her assignment at Pilgrim World to look for Tyler at The Weathervane. Xavier reminds her that Tyler is ‘bad news’ but Wednesday insists who she speaks to is her business. Xavier stalks off, and she asks Tyler to help her locate the old pilgrim meeting house out in Cobham Woods. Tyler warns her it’s mostly a ruin, and that the place is kind of sketchy and used as a crash pad for squatters and meth heads. He asks her what this is all about but Wednesday is tight-lipped. Tyler remarks that she’s becoming obsessed with the monster in the woods, and Wednesday teases him by asking him if he’d rather her develop an obsession with horses and boy bands instead. She thanks him for the help, and Tyler offers to take her to Cobham Woods after his shift at The Weathervane. Wednesday declines because Weems would ‘hang, draw and quarter’ her if she missed the statue dedication, and as enticing as that sounds, she’d prefer to keep a low profile. She insists she knows her way around the Great Outdoors, and Tyler jokes about her being a Girl Scout. Wednesday tells him she could eat Girls Scouts for breakfast, and leaves Tyler looking bemused.

Woe What a Night
Out in Jericho, Tyler bumps into Wednesday and says he doesn’t want to ask what trouble she is in this time. Wednesday assures him it’s nothing she can’t handle, and laments his father’s particularly frustrating form today, warning Tyler to avoid him. Tyler then asks Wednesday about the Rave’N dance that weekend at Nevermore, and Wednesday questions if she is the only one not obsessed with this stupid dance. Tyler asks her if this means she isn’t going to the dance, and Wednesday hesitates before admitting she was ‘forced to ask someone as an act of self-preservation’. Tyler is confused, and asks her who she’s going with. Wednesday tells him she is going with Xavier Thorpe, and Tyler seems disappointed. He begins to walk away, telling Wednesday he hopes she and Xavier and have fun. Wednesday is confused about why this news has upset Tyler, who remarks that that is kind of the problem. He goes on to say: ‘Call me crazy, Wednesday, but you keep giving me these signals.’ Wednesday insists it’s not her fault that she can’t interpret his ‘emotional Morse code.’ Tyler offers to spell it out for her: he thought that they liked each other, but now she’s going to the dance with Xavier and he has no idea where he stands with her anymore. He questions if he is in the more-than-friends zone or just a pawn in some game she’s playing. Wednesday concedes that she is dealing with a lot right now, and that she needs to prioritise. Tyler is not mollified by this explanation, however, and sardonically tells her to give him a call if he ever moves up her to-do list. He leaves Wednesday looking somewhat abashed, and she tells Thing not to say a thing about what just happened.

Thing, eager to restore some harmony between Tyler and Wednesday, types up a note for Tyler, pretending to be Wednesday and inviting him to the Rave’N. He leaves it in the tip jar at The Weathervane, and Tyler is all smiles when he reads it. Later that night, as the Rave’N is starting, he turns up at Wednesday's dorm room. He knocks at the door and she opens it to reveal him dressed in a white suit, ready to take Wednesday to the dance. Wednesday is surprised to see Tyler, who explains he got her invite to the dance and correctly infers that Thing dropped it in the tip jar. Tyler admits that after their last conversation he wasn’t sure if he’d ever get to speak to Wednesday again, but her note was so genuine and sweet, it totally took him by surprise. Wednesday, stoic, agrees that it took her by surprise, too. Tyler reveals that he’s glad he came, and asks her if she needs a few more minutes to get ready. Wednesday slams the door in his face and immediately berates Thing for sending the invite. However, she softens when she sees the black dress she’d been eyeing in a shop window earlier, realising that Thing stole it from Uriah’s Heap.

Once ready, Wednesday heads down the stairs to meet Tyler, who is  mesmerised by how beautiful she looks in her dress. He starts to tell her this, but Wednesday interrupts, suggesting she looks ridiculous and like a classic example of female objectification for the male gaze. Tyler finishes his sentence, telling her softly that she looks amazing. He adds: ‘I mean it, Wednesday. You look beautiful.’ A rare occasion, Wednesday is rendered speechless by his compliment.

Later, Wednesday is sitting alone in a room across from the dance hall. Tyler finds her there, and she reveals to him that Xavier told her what Tyler did to him last year, that Tyler and his friends assaulted Xavier and destroyed his mural last Outreach Day. Tyler is dumbstruck, but admits her finding out was inevitable. He sits next to Wednesday and explains that he would be lying if he said it was an accident or only half as bad as it sounds, and he concedes that Xavier could’ve made things worse for Tyler than he did. Wednesday asks him why he did it, and Tyler admits he is still trying to figure that out. He opens up to Wednesday, revealing he got sent away to a boot camp where he realised that that is not the version of himself he wanted to be: a bitter townie that blames everyone else for the shitty hand he’s been dealt. He acknowledges he did a terrible thing but insists he is not a terrible person. He seemingly expects Wednesday to be angry or disappointed in him, but Wednesday scoffs, asking him if he really thought she was going to judge him over some lousy prank. She tells him she would’ve taken it further, and Tyler chuckles and asks ‘what, like putting piranhas in a swimming pool?’ Wednesday is surprised Tyler knows this, and he admits he may have done a little digging on Wednesday after they met. Wednesday tells him she’d do it again, and Tyler smiles, confessing he knew there was a reason he liked her. Shortly after, they head back to the Rave’N, where they dance together and Tyler is clearly impressed by Wednesday’s kooky dance moves.

Fanon
Wyler, while not as popular as Wenclair, has become a fairly well-known ship, with fans enjoying theorizing about a potential enemies-to-lovers storyline between Wednesday and Tyler in season 2. The ship is backed up by various articles stating that, despite Tyler's reveal as the Hyde, an attraction still lies between them. Besides Wenclair, Wyler is also rivaled by Wavier.
