Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

Been thinking a lot about the constant dehumanisation that’s like inherent to every description of Hyde and how that’s what we’re TAUGHT to say about him, when in reality the crux of what Hyde is is WHOLLY HUMAN. He’s not some mindless animal or a demon taking over, he’s every HUMAN aspect that Jekyll wants or has to hide.

Also the inherent ableism of that. “The reason this guy looks weird is because he’s evil/he’s evil because he looks weird” is a CRAZY message.

Hyde is entirely human and characters within the book can’t handle that so they dehumanise him consistently until he’s dead and they finally realise that oh, this was a HUMAN BEING.

I CAVED UNDER 0 PRESSURE AND WROTE ABOUT DISABILITY. I win though because the extract we had to focus on was REALLY good for writing about that. I also wrote about the dehumanisation that’s inherent to almost every description of Hyde and how he’s only given humanity once he’s dead. TLDR: I won. Everything.

Hey guys. They should make Hyde’s birthday on the 23 of March. That’s the best day to have a birthday 😁 no other reason. Haha weird coincidence it’s my birthday too. That’s crazyyyy

”you can just make an oc” you dont understand anything. the character needs to mutate naturally until unrecognizable. like all evolutionary processes it takes time. you can’t force it or it doesn’t take. you must endure weird ooc thematically discordant versions of a guy until they bud off into beautiful new life. have patience

Everyone has to look at my J&H cripple posting or else actually. I’m right about it

The only emotional spectrum I can relate to

I think we need one of those popular read-along blogs to tackle The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the same way that's been done for Dracula and Moby-Dick. The number of folks around here who appear to be under the impression that reading a queer subtext into Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a subversion rather than being straightforwardly material to the plot is frankly embarrassing, and I'm assuming this is because nobody's actually read the damn thing.

whatever you do please don’t think of Gabriel Utterson leaving red roses on a little unmarked grave not on consecrated ground where they put all the London School of Pathology couldn’t make a specimen. 💚
