DOES WEDNESDAY BLINK?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There is a rumor about Wednesday's character that she doesn't blink at all or blinks, but exceedingly rarely. I was interested in this, so I rewatched the entire series, following only her eyes (yes, I'm such a devotee). I also wrote down all the timecodes of her blinks so that anyone can check the information. Video with all blinks captured is coming, too. My results are closer to the truth than those from the popular video from YouTube. Believe me, I rewatched the whole TV-show twice to make the results as reliable as possible.

⮞ Episode 1: 35 blinks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⮞ Episode 2: 34 blinks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⮞ Episode 3: 7 blinks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⮞ Episode 4: 13 blinks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⮞ Episode 5: 6 blinks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⮞ Episode 6: 12 blinks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⮞ Episode 7: 12 blinks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⮞ Episode 8: 15 blinks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

TOTAL: 134

It feels like the idea of a non-blinking Wednesday came up during the filming of episode 3. In fact, my theory was correct. Jenna said they came up with this idea after 2 weeks of filming. Be that as it may, the result is impressive. Even with the first and second episodes, the main character blinks much less than normal.

I would've never thought that blinking could be the strongest indicator of a character's emotions and feelings. Wednesday almost never blinks just "for fun". This usually occurs because of wrath, surprise, embarrassment, or dislike towards the person or conversation. Another interesting thing is that she can't control her blinking, although she hides all other body signs quite well. This betrays in her a person who isn't heartless. Jenna Ortega did a great job of bringing a half-dead character to life with subtle facial expressions. And situational blinking played the key role in it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
