The wizard with the constitution of a victorian orphan is still going strong in Curse of Strahd! The horrors of Barovia Valley are abundant but we endure.

we are the same, you and I.

-grian voice- welcome to a new series where we become the monsters!

[can-of-w0rmz]

My thoughts on Frankenstein can basically be summed up in, “Victor is a dickhead but at least he’s not an incel,” and “The Creature is a dickhead but at least he’s not a rich prick”.

To this day “ermmm Victor/Creature is the innocent guy and (X other character) is the bad guy achtually 🤓☝️” takes make me so fucking mad. THEY BOTH SUCK, AND THEYRE BOTH STILL SYMPATHETIC PROTAGONISTS. THATS THE POINT OF THE FUCKING BOOK😭

Also people who think Victor was the bad guy for refusing to make the Bride and going “huh, maybe making a creature for the sole purpose of suffering and fucking you is really fucked up and not my place at all actually?” legitimately need their fucking heads checked because do you genuinely have zero reading comprehension or life experience??? Can you read a book? Can you understand basic themes and concepts? Are you actually stupid?

Victor is a terrible guy for being self absorbed enough to cheat God and nature itself, creating a being that was never meant to be born and inflicting immense suffering on it by the nature of it existing in a way that fundamentally can not be balanced out — following the Christian influences and background in which the novel was written at the time, Victor is not God, he can’t offer the creature salvation or in any way metaphysically balance out his suffering, so he just introduces him to a life of a living hell by his own design and by the nature of the fact that Victor is just a man, and the Creature himself is terrible because the nihilism inherent to his condition as Victor’s creation turns him into a murderous incel who wants to just further the suffering Victor caused, because if he can’t be happy, nobody should, so he kills every innocent bystander who Victor loved and demands that he makes him a woman like Eve who’s equal to him in suffering, who exists for the sole purpose of being his, who was created to be his.

And Victor says no, because he has actual character development and realises it isn’t his place (also, very likely mirroring his engagement to Elizabeth if you kinda follow the same reading as me that Victor never really loved her romantically and felt forced into the marriage because of his mother), which, shock horror, makes Victor a more likeable protagonist, because again, shockingly, he’s actually a pretty good guy in this one situation making a really good moral decision for once by saying “yeah I’m not going to create a woman whose sole purpose in life is to fuck you and suffer as much as you, also what if she doesn’t want to fuck you???”

Are people allergic to the concept of character development or something?? Are people allergic to multifaceted complex characters?? You feel terrible for the creature because of what Victor has done to him by bringing him into existence, and you feel terrible for Victor because of how doomed he is (in the worst way, it’s not just him suffering, he has to watch everyone he loves being forced to suffer because of him) by his one mistake and how he doesn’t have any way to fix it. A creation with no God, and a Man with the weight of God upon him because of his own mistake. They’re both doomed. That’s why it’s so good, THE BOOK IS A FUCKING TRAGEDY WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT FOR SOME PEOPLE TO GRASP???😭

Victor Spinetti Tells Tales...

I've always loved this picture of Paul McCartney and Victor Spinetti, apparently singing away (probably something bawdy) as they are riding the bus back from the beach where they were filming Help! Don't know who the pretty girl is sitting beside Paul, perhaps an extra or a crew member. What are the odds he had her as soon as he showered the sand off his body? I also have always love the story Spinetti tells of what happened when he got the flu while they were all filming in Vienna: When we were in Austria filming, I contracted the flu. Each of the Beatles came to my hotel room in turn to visit me. The first person to arrive was George Harrison, who knocked on the door, came in and said, 'I've come to plump your pillows. Whenever anyone is ill in bed they have to have their pillows plumped.' So he plumped my pillows and then he left.

"Ringo came in next, sat down by the bed, picked up the hotel menu and said: 'Once upon a time there were three bears, mummy bear, daddy bear and baby bear...' And then he left.

"John Lennon came in -- remember, this is Austria -- came marching in, shouting 'Sieg Heil, Schweinehund! The doctors are here, they are coming to experiment upon you, Sieg Heil! Heil Hitler!' And he left.

"Finally, Paul McCartney opened the door and said, 'Is it catching?' I said 'yes' and he closed the door and I never saw him again.

"That's the story I told these girls. 'Oh, George plumped the pillows!' they cooed. They came to the show just to hear these Beatles stories at the end of the performance.

"Paul closed the door." Of course he did, with that sensitive tummy.  

"George plumped the pillows!" George Harrison sounds like he really was a lovely person, in a 'take no prisoners' kid of way. I mean, there is also that story of him head-butting a new acquaintance Paul had introduced him to, at the Inny. A stunned Paul asked, "Why did you DO that?" George: "He wasn't worthy to be your friend." Bless George. If he liked you, he liked you. If he didn't, you knew.

BUT IT'S VICTOR!!!!

[galamerapple]

fellas is it gay to trust your best friend to use his judgment to take your temperature when bringing you back to life,,

[lemonavocado]

we as the clervalstein nation do not talk enough about this chunk of text

[extra-joker-mush]

for supposedly the Best Hitman in gotham city victor zsasz gets knocked out a lot . “i don’t try….,,and i never stop 😈” - guy who got his ass kicked three times in one episode

[this-is-krikkit]

here are the (intelligible) notes i jotted down while watching the finale:

if you think i'm gonna buy into that ridiculous arc of "yuuri being all noble and sacrificing his career so that victor can come back and then victor crying his eyes out bc yuuri's telling him he wants to break off their working relationship and that's the last thing he wants and he can't believe yuuri would make that decision without consulting him first because they're a partnership and he can't imagine himself deciding anything without talking to his fiancé mentee friend WHATEVER THEY ARE TO EACH OTHER first"

well, congrats. you were right, and i am in tears.

victor's hand staying put long after yuuri's started sliding away on the ice, like he doesn't want to let go… uggggh, my feels.

sidenote, "i want to kiss your medal" is amongst the greatest gayest subtext i've ever heard, and not to brag but i could probably win gold in a gay subtext contest myself. well fucking played.

i knew he'd nail the quad flip, you knew he'd nail the quad flip, everyone who's watched this anime knew he'd nail that godforsaken quad flip when he set out to do it.

so my question is:

WHY AM I UGLY SOBBING IN UTTER SURPRISE AND JOY THAT HE DID MANAGE TO JUMP IT????

and finally, that ending was the most perfect series ending i've ever seen. the two of them dancing together (WITH THE DAMN RINGS AGAIN AAAAAH) on the ice and living together, knowing what awaits them…… i got literal chills.

this has been a short but intense and wilf fucking ride, that completely took me by surprise with how quickly and easily i fell in love with the characters.

i'm gonna rewatch the shit out of it any chance i get.
