sonneillonv:avotica:breelandwalker:obstinate-nocturna:bemusedlybespectacled:inkfromtheoctopus:Addams Family Values (1993)Gomez knows how its fucking done.Gomez gives out better relationship advice than like 90% of dudes.Gomez Addams is a suave motherfucker who loves his wife more than his own life.Everyone should want a Gomez. He’s p cool.Gomez and Morticia Addams actually have a very loving and extremely healthy relationship, both in the old TV show and in the more recent movies. They were also one of the first television couples to be shown to have an active (albeit offscreen) sex life. Their frank attitude towards sexuality was shocking in its’ time, but their relationship and their family dynamic is actually more functional and more…dare I say it…sane than most families portrayed on TV.The comedy in the show came from the family’s “odd” lifestyle, rather than from infighting and petty bickering, or worse, as was common on other shows of the time, thinly veiled references to spousal abuse. They didn’t make fun of each other or act like their children were creatures from another world. Were they strange and outside of social norms? Yes. Were they united in creating a loving home and being good, supportive parents? Absolutely.These two support and adore their children, care for an aging mother and an estranged brother, put family before everything, and they love each other, wholly, fiercely, without reserve. They are every bit as much in love after at least a decade of marriage as they were the day they met.Relationship goals. LIFE goals.Just remembered in the second movie when their third child became “normal” for a period and although they were shocked and didn’t know how to handle it, they didn’t mistreat the child or love it any less. They accepted the difference, even though it was hard for them. They also tried to provide an environment that would be nurturing to their child with respect to his differences, even though doing so required a departure from their own values and was quite uncomfortable for them. Every queer and trans kid wishes they had Gomez and Morticia as parents IMO. -- source link
