Victor after saying the most romantic thing ever: i will proceed with my tale

(i won't shut up about this)

[rosquinn]

"mutuals can ask for discord" mutuals can haunt me after they die. mutuals can paint my immortal youth in a cursed portrait. mutuals can build a 8ft tall creature in my college dorm. mutuals can watch me wake up as a monstrous vermin. mutuals can feed me soup after i commit murder. mutuals can help me kill uncle claudius. mutuals can go out with me and my girlfriend from across the bay. mutuals can hunt the beast with me. do better

The Creature: You made me, therefore you must bear the consequences of my creation.

Victor Frankenstein: Nuh-uh

The Creature: fym nuh-uh?

men don't even stitch up 8ft amalgamations of corpses anymore in hopes of creating new and perfect life within their dormitory anymore. due to woke

reading frankenstein rn and my take away so far is that there are disastrous consequences to letting twinks in stem be deadbeat mothers

just got to chapter 5 in my frankenstein reread oh my god. i fucking love and cackle at the fact that henry is just like “omg victor ^_^ i’m so happy to be here to study with you at university finally after three years apart !!” and victor just stares at him with huge autism eyes shaking and malnourished like “i fucked up. big.”

“Oh, Frankenstein! Generous and self-devoted being! What does it avail that I now ask thee to pardon me? I, who irretrievably destroyed thee by destroying all thou lovedst. Alas! he is cold, he cannot answer me.”

[ereyies]

i love my gothic literature menaces and they love me

+bonus

he’s not gonna pretend he’s on the phone because he meant every word and wants him to hear it

People need to talk about how well Frankenstein handles the concepts of cause and effect and familial abuse. There is not one good parent in Frankenstein, and that directly ties into so much. If Caroline hadn’t groomed Elizabeth and manipulated Victor and Elizabeth into feeling like they needed to marry eachother, Elizabeth would’ve been alive. If Alphonse hadn’t dismissed victors interests as “sad trash” the creature would’ve never existed. If Henry’s dad didn’t judge his passions to the point Henry felt pressured to stay at home for two years, the creature, say it with me

WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN CREATED.

If Justine’s mother gave even one fuck about her Justine wouldn’t have ran off to live with the frankensteins, and say it with me

WOULDN’T HAVE DIED!!!

And all of this is complimented by Victor grasping at any sense of control and making his creature, his son, only to run away in disgust. The story is atleast a little bit about how parenting affects a child, and I will stand by that Til I die. If literally any of the people in this story were good parents, so many deaths and plot points could’ve been avoided.

Victor Frankenstein states and i quote about Henry Clerval childhood best friend "I grasped Henry Clerval's hand, and in a moment forgot my horror and misfortune; I felt suddenly, and for the first time joy in many months, calm, and serene joy.". which could mean nothing
