Frankenstein…

I read this book in eglish class .. franking stein

of course she's not more upset about justine's trial than william's murder - but william has already been murdered, and justine's trial is something she can actively participate in and take charge of in the present, hence the focus on it. what she's saying here is that if justine was executed it would be the last straw on top of recent events, and that an unfair execution (something that had the potential to go the right way but didn’t, the result of several unfair decisions) is a worse fate than a spontaneous murder, not that her death would be somehow more important than william's.

TWO YEARS??? Victor is the worst parent, oh my god

also, everyone in this story is gay. Special shout out to Elizabeth being more upset about her friend being on trial for murder than she is about her cousin she cared for like a son dying.

forever charmed by the way ernest says "mamma" and "papa" as opposed to victor's formal "mother" and "father"

soft jazz music plays as the love of walton’s life enters on-stage, the world goes all pink and slo-mo and dreamy. record scratch, pans to victor frankenstein coughing up a hairball

Read a bit of the letters from the book so now I have this

Spent some time tonight making the first version of my Frankenstein 1818 edition timeline. I made some small corrections and additions from my original paper version, but I think there is plenty more to expand up/clarify from this version. (I am using the Penguin Classics edition if you want to read along with what I've mocked up.) Edit: Link to a web version of the document with additional information.

Okay I can sleep now lol. I'll put my OG version under the cut.

i kinda wish more people discussed when bringing up the Gloves in hammer frankenstein that victor wears them because of his disability. it is one of the most consistently canon facts not just about victor, but in universe, period, considering all the contradictions and unreliable narration in the series.

he has been disabled since the fire during the ending of evil at the very least, and if even you don't consider that movie canon, his disability is still mentioned, focused on, and/or important throughout every film after that. the motifs of fire, disability, and mind vs body of the series are only intensified and made more profound considering victor's disability.

the sheer significance of the disability being of his hands, his hands of G-d, the things he uses to create is something that i rarely ever see anyone else pointing out. besides the implications of him being a disabled person who wants to literally have a perfect, immortal body already being powerful enough on its own to make it worthy of note, it can also be looked upon as a more visual metaphor/representation of infertility.

the plots and dramas of every film after evil are very much fueled by him being disabled. and that is just explicitly canon.

i love seeing ppl reblog my frankenstein stuff because you guys come up with the WILDEST and funniest stuff in the tags that gets me giggling like a maniac. love y'all <3

There is a passage from one of the Ender’s Game sequels that lives rent free in my mind every time I enter a public restroom of like… Bean thinking very hard about which stall to select because appropriately masculine men never select the first stall, if you take the last stall you’re trying too hard, but you can’t take a stall next to a stall next to one that’s already occupied…
