The amount of times I could have been that white girl in the horror movie could honestly be a movie in itself and it’s honestly a waste that my entire life isn’t constantly recorded on film because it would be HILARIOUS

From the post about anonymous asks

Elaborate on your love/hate relationship with Frankenstein (the book, not the guy, although you choose how you interpret it)?

TY!!!! (i’m gonna rant cause no one’s ever asked me this before)

ok so i first read this book about a year ago and i was like hm. not life changing or anything - i was mostly focused on interpreting it ‘cause it’s so convoluted with the old-fashioned language and whatnot.

but then i went back and reread it and i realized how fucking stupid this character Victor Frankenstein is. first of all, he’s an asshole. he’s spoiled and overconfident… but also lowkey kinda emo?? he’s a total “but i could fix him” guy

and frankenstein (the monster) is actually adorable. like he murders people and totally has a kickass villain origin story but in a Loki sorta way (if you know what i mean).

ADDITIONALLY! this story is so gay. so fucking gay. Victor The Emo has this “friend” named Clerval who he goes on long rants about his appreciation for. obviously normalize platonic friendship… but i choose to interpret this as Something was going on, because he clearly loved this man. idk if Victor and Frankenstein (the monster) have more of a enemies to lovers love triangle with Clerval type deal or if it’s a tragic daddy issues thing, but the yeah the relationships in this book are so entrenched in emotion and backstabbing and grudges that by the end there’s really no wrong or right side to be on (at least imo)

Mary Shelley went wild with this one and it was foundational for science fiction and also she seems like she was a pretty cool person (idk i haven’t researched much)

(also i like the gothic dark academia vibes)

He didn't expect him to take it that close to heart 😔

nature documentary but the narration is just weird enough to make you question it

is now a good time to share these tma tweets i’ve been making (implied s4 spoilers warning)

idk i think what is interesting about astarion to me is the fact that you have a guy who started out an asshole (normal type) and then spent two hundred years in a very carefully and specifically crafted (by the writers of the game) Become A Terrible Person Or Die nexus. like it wasn’t just a Torment Nexus, he wasn’t just in hell, i feel like this is very important not to forget, he was in hell but it was specifically a hell designed to, over time, kill the empathy of anyone trapped in it, kill their brain’s ability to prioritize other peoples’ survival, to numb one’s conscience.

and then he gets yanked directly out of that nexus and despite that the fact that he spent, again, two hundred years in a situation that was sort of a rock tumbler for the human soul, there’s still a pebble left in there. and it’s a pebble that can be grown if placed in the right environment and provided with a support network.

so i think it becomes interesting because it really does i think force you to start thinking about the limits of free will even on as basic a level as the human personality. i think the fact that he becomes such a different character based on player choice, that his end morality is so hugely dependent on player choice, is uhhh. a big part of what the devs were going for probably.

it makes a lot of people really uncomfortable to acknowledge some bad people would be good people if literally nothing changed except they had a good support network and different circumstances. especially because it means the opposite is also true. which is even more uncomfortable.

you know that part in the beginning of fellowship of the ring where gandalf is talking about how gollum is ultimately only like that because of the ring and gandalf thinks his story is sad? astarion is kinda like if they sexualized gollum.
