Why We All Need a Friendship Like Wednesday and Enid’s

We’re obsessed with the pastel-goth¹ duo for more
than just aesthetic². Here’s a couple of reasons why we
love Wednesday and Enid’s unexpected friendship!
A ____________________________
5 When they first meet, Enid and Wednesday don’t get
off³ on the best foot. Enid is loud and bright and energetic
– everything Wednesday hates. Or at least, thinks she
hates. Wednesday, who tells herself that she doesn’t need
anyone else (especially someone as vibrant as Enid) is
10 determined to push her away. But Enid, who sees a slight
sign of softness in Wednesday when hearing her sad
scorpion story, isn’t really demotivated.
B____________________________
Wednesday and Enid don’t try to change each other.
15 There is an acceptance of one another’s differences that
is so refreshing! Even after they win the Poe Cup⁴
competition, Enid doesn’t force Wednesday to spend time
with the group, but just makes the offer of companionship
gently.
20 Similarly, Wednesday doesn’t try to get Enid to wear
all black or change her persona or identity to be
Wednesday’s friend. Instead, she lets Enid express
herself however⁵ she wants, even if it gives Wednesday a
massive headache!
25 C____________________________
Understanding the limits your friends have is a lifelong
lesson that not many people learn early on. When they
first meet, Enid quickly notices Wednesday’s peculiarities
– including that she’s not a hugger. And while Enid tries
30 to, once or twice, for the most part, she is OK with it.
Similar to the way they don’t try to change each other,
Enid doesn’t try to blame⁶ Wednesday over it either!
D____________________________
Maybe the most emotional scene in the final episode
35 is when Enid returns to Nevermore, and Wednesday
accepts to hug⁷ her back. Even though touch makes her
uncomfortable!
Friendships aren’t always easy. They require hard
work, communication, and enthusiasm to forgive and learn
40 from past mistakes. Wednesday and Enid are no different!
They show that even if you might be very different, as long
as you care for and respect each other, you can find a life-
long friend in the most diverse people.
