I always had a crush on Morticia when I was a kid, and dug the goth look from the movie. I’m more into the elegant, tattoo/piercing free form of Gothic girls than the walls of ink that seem to be the most popular. Great to see Wednesday grew up to fit the dress.
Wednesday “Meltina” Addams from The Addams Family + Long Hair Version
We start yet another Chapter of The Waifu List, this time it’s the the 9th Chapter and this one only has it’s seats reserved for ladies of the Survivor/Nightmarish variety! and of course we had to start strong, that means a classic waifu, please welcome the always lovely and always gloomy, Ms. Addams!
I was really excited when I saw Wednesday Addams being suggested several times, because a couple of years ago I made an OC based on her (in fact I made OCs based on the whole Addams family) of course she was aged up, thiccened up given some background story, buuuuuut… I wasn’t quite happy with the first design I made of her and when I saw several people suggesting her, I just couldn’t resist giving this lady a spot on this chapter, it was the perfect chance to mix business with pleasure and redo her design, gotta say I’m quite pleased how she came out this time!
Now if you’re wondering (if you’re not, just skip this part) why I’m adding the name “Meltina” for her, it’s because when I make an OC based on a character that already exist I like to rename them, not just use their names as they are because said character is based on/a tribute to the original, not the original character per se, you already have seen an example of this with my OCs based on the Wicked Witch of the West, “Ella ‘Phana the Wicked Witch Queen” same for the Jack-o’-lantern based “Hollee the Pumpkin Grenadier ” or Cheshire the Cat “Cheshire Nia Whisperia the Whimsical Shapeshifter”, now… why “Meltina”? simple… the first time I ever watched one of the Addams Family movies (was a long time ago, VHS were still around then…) I watched it in spanish and her name in spanish is not Wednesday, she is called “Merlina” which I found quite strange and cool at the same time, so… Meltina is a tribute to the name Merlina, as simple as that!
Now on the lady herself… some people have told me they don’t think of Morticia or Wednesday Addams as goth ladies and everyone can have their own opinion on that, that is perfectly fine, but the same goes for me so… I DO think they’re not only goth ladies but daaaamn! 2 of the BEST goth ladies, oh! and talking about that, mommy Addams is the next waifu on the list *triumph fist raised for all gothicc lovers*, where was I? *ahem* yes on the lady herself…
Wednesday could appear to many as gloomy, devoid of life and soulless even since her younger days and sure, she does look gloomy, but hey, it’s part of her dark charm anyways!, but make no mistake, she is full of life… life which she extracts directly from the souls of her fallen enemies, see? she cannot be soulless if she is full of souls from the fallen! Mmm! this is one delicious, vicious, soul reaper waifu!
Let’s move on to the changes/adaptations.
First and most obvious, her age, she is around 21 years old here, her hair is a little longer and her hairstyle is a bit more mature but just enough, her dress is basically the same just a tad sexier and gave her some classy lingerie with black family jewels included on her garter belt clips and choker, of course had to give her a thicc weapon and the Giga Cleaver felt like a fitting choice (my previous design had a giant Axe) and last but not least… yep you guessed it, thicc spices! thiccness all around! hips, legs, boobs and keeping that mesmerizing tiny waist (those gothic corsets Morticia gave to her sure work wonders on that waist!).
But enough said, if this gothicc lady is the waifu for you, remember to leave some dark love for her on the comments and I’ll see you on the next one, cheers!
I love the last sentence of this bit from chapter 25 of Northanger Abbey, where Catherine is speaking to Henry and Eleanor Tilney (emphasis mine):
“I do not believe Isabella has any fortune at all: but that will not signify in your family. Your father is so very liberal! He told me the other day that he only valued money as it allowed him to promote the happiness of his children.” The brother and sister looked at each other.
Pics I did for #Blacktober. Not all of them, but my personal faves. Not necessarily the most popular, just the ones I had the most fun (or had the biggest challenge) drawing. Blacktober was a fun challenge, a great thing that brought the Black art community over on Twitter closer, only brought down by the onslaught of racists who had an issue with this event. Drawing these was probably the first time in a long time that I had fun and I’m honestly a little sad that I had given up early (day 12) because of the racist trolls. Regardless I’m grateful to have even participated.
Characters: Ann (Persona 5), Madoka (Madoka Magica), Wednesday (Addams Family), Lio (Promare), Lyra (My own oc!).
