i feel like the infantilization of lisa throughout the movie was very very real. coming from someone who did deal with being outcasted due to their oddness and mental instability i did deal often with my peers treating me like i was younger than them, acting like i wasn't smart and i saw myself in lisa during those moments. for example, michael and doug calling lisa "kid" or "kiddo" when talking to her or her dad not taking her seriously when showing obvious signs that things are getting worse for her. i often see the adults treating her like a misbehaving child who wants attention instead of a person going through a very rough time in life. they only cared when she passed away. something about the only good victim being a dead one etc.

Yeah, no, I've got it. We can show that he's evil by using prosthetics and making him non/semi-verbal, which, as we all know, are the True Measures of Evil."

I’m really curious, does anyone know about any romance novels that feature a mad scientist as the love interest? Can be Frankenstein inspired or not. Preferably ones where the mad scientist is at least a little evil.

Much like Ulysses, genetically crafting creatures in the telchin lab, I too, diabolically spliced Ulysses together, using the elements of all the prime Tumblr Sexymen I could find /j
