Everytime I Read Frankenstein, The Same Line Makes Me Put The Book Down And Stare At The Wall. It’s

Everytime I read Frankenstein, the same line makes me put the book down and stare at the wall. It’s my favorite line in the book; it has its own highlighter color in my annotations. The first time I read it, I literally detoured after my last class just to tell my lit teacher how much I liked the line because I couldn’t wait until second period the next day. Here’s the line:

“Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it.”

This is said by the creature. He wanted to live. He wanted to live life so badly even though he had had such a difficult one. He still loved the song of the birds and the smell of the flowers and the joy in the world even if he never got to truly experience that joy. I just. AHHHH.

He wanted to fight for a life he never got to live.

consider: colorblind jon

colorblind jon who doesn’t know much about his father, but he knows his father was colorblind too, and it’s something that links them, a family trait remaining long after his father is gone

colorblind jon who has grown accustomed to giving strangers lectures that are probably far longer than needed about deuteranopia and x-linked genes and how there’s a difference between being colorblind and not seeing any color, he can tell that’s blue just fine, thanks

colorblind jon who gets teased by tim in research the day he comes in wearing lime green trousers because “how could you think those go together, honestly? where did you even get those? is there a market for lime green work clothes i didn’t know about?” and then the next week tim comes in wearing an outfit that’s entirely lime green and jon only knows because sasha comments on it

colorblind jon who could swear he sees flashes of something when he reads the statements, and he doesn’t know what it is but it’s wrong, he knows it’s wrong, this whole job is wrong somehow and denial will only take him so far

colorblind jon who comes across (not-)sasha leaving notes in green text on red paper and he shouldn’t be able to read them, he knows that, but if he squints and strains his eyes enough he can make out what they say, and somehow that’s even worse than them being entirely illegible

colorblind jon who stares at the admiral’s eyes for minutes on end while trying to work up the courage to ask georgie if they’ve always been that color (and deep down inside he already knows the answer, knows that the only thing that has changed is his own perception)

colorblind jon having a breakdown in georgie’s place because colorblindness isn’t supposed to work like that, you don’t just get over it one day, except that jon did

colorblind jon who asks casually for that green pen you’ve got right there and feels tim staring at him as he hands it over, doesn’t realize what’s set him off until the argument starts in earnest

colorblind jon who gains a color and loses a piece of his humanity and would much rather have it be the other way around, really

I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!

A piece of cloth teaching you how to draw cloth folds of different material. Each picture depicts two arms in the same material - one thin arm and one fat arm.
THICK clothes only have a few folds! Sometimes a bump is all it takes to suggest a fold for THICK stuff. Examples are sweaters, hoodies, wool, fleece, and denim
THIN clothes have a lot of folds and bumps! Thin stuff usually has more lines that wrap around what's underneath. Examples are rayon, cotton, and crepe
SMOOTH stuff have "squiggly" folds. Smooth cloth folds tend to "loop" back to where they start. Examples are silk, velvet, Satin, Bamboo cotton, and most luxurious stuff
SOFT clothes have round folds. Unlike smooth stuff, soft stuff doesn't have many "squiggles" or solid lines in between. Examples are down jackets, fur, fleece, washed linen, and polyester
STIFF clothes have angular folds! Most folds tend to look triangular - assuming they even fold at all! Examples are raincoats, New denim, canvas, and suits
PS I have avoided talking about loose vs tight clothing since whatever is loose on one person (A shows a thin arm in a baggy yellow sleeve) might not be as loose on a different person (B depicts the same sleeve which comfortably fits around the fat arm). However it's still important to learn about these type of things.
Person asks, "So uh... what happens if the clothes are Smooth and Thin, or Thick and Soft?" The answer is DO BOTH! Top right shows a full woman in a dress that has a Smooth skirt and a Stiff top half. Even though it's one dress, one part is more Smooth while the other part is more Stiff. There are more examples but don't forget to study hard and have fun!
