MAD SCIENTIST OTD IS...

henry jekyll from jekyll and hyde (1931)

dr. jekyll is a doctor who makes a concuction to turn himself into the evil mr. edward hyde!

[yours-truly-henry-jekyll]

For I feel the urge to make up a third option in monster high vs ever after high. Welcome to "Belles Letres High" - a place for everyone human enough to not be a monster and too somber and real to be a fairy tale

Yeah, I am just that crazy for classlit

I am here only for the Enjoltaire sweep. Or Raskolnikov/Razumikhin but that's questionable whether they are popular enough to be chosen.

But hey Rodion is like one of two classlit characters to have a profile on tumblr sexypedia. So he probably gonna make it.

Welcome to the 2023 Couples of Classic Literature Tournament!

I was inspired both by the many character/ship tournaments already out there (namely; @2023himbotournament, @powerpolyculeshowdown, and @bisexual-monarch-tournament) and by my own recent re-reading of Pride & Prejudice.

Some rules and guidelines;

- I am using the term 'couple' loosely; Pairs who aren't technically couples (ex; Dorian Gray & Lord Henry) and pairs of friends (ex; Charlotte Lucas & Elizabeth Bennett) are also welcome!

-The term 'pair' is also being used loosely; trios, quartets, quintets, etc are welcome too

- Submit as many pairs as you like, but please only submit each one once

- It shouldn't be too much of an issue with this particular theme, but I'll say it anyway; only fictional characters, no real people (as fun as a historical couple tournament would be, this is not that)

- There will be either 16 or 32 slots depending on how many submissions I receive, pairs will be chosen based on popularity (meaning; how many submissions I receive for them or a preliminary poll).

Submissions will be open until March 3rd

Character Submission form

Nobody ever questions why their dash is suddenly filled with insert shakespeare play/classlit book/etc bc the answer is always school

CLASSLIT CROSS SHIP TAKE OVER RAAAGGGHHHH

Whenever I think about classic lit cross shipping it makes me think about when people shipped Jack Frost and Elsa tbh 😭

[yours-truly-henry-jekyll]

Stupid shitty classlit AUs on "Game of Thrones". Keep in mind that I last reread ASOIAF almost five years ago.

1. Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish as Heathcliff Earnshaw

2. Lysa Arryn (neé Tully) as Cathy Linton (neé Earnshaw)

3. Jon Arryn as Edgar Linton (I guess)

4. Edmure Tully as Hindley Earnshaw (I am genuinely sorry)

5. Robin Arryn as Linton Heathcliff

6. Sansa Stark (Alaina Stone) as Cathy Jr

7. I really don't know whom to put as Hareton but I am all the way down for Sansa x Mya Stone yuri

WELCOME TO MAD SCIENTIST OTD !!

an account dedicated to posting the mad scientists of the world. the kooky inventors. the rogue reanimators. the mad, bad, and dangerous to know!

WHAT COUNTS?

I don't really care! as long as the character is sort of sciency I'll take it. if we rock with them and they rock with unethical experiments and / or dangerous chemicals, I'll post them. not sure whether to submit a character or not? see if they have a picture of them in a lab coat. if yes, send, if no, question further. OCS are okay as long as you can provide 3 images of them (with appropriate art credit attached) and AU's are also cool.

in addition, while I'll probably not double post I'm okay with multiple variants of characters, especially classlit stuff. for example, i'd count tgs henry jekyll as a different character to the 1931 version, the mazm victor frankenstein as a different character to the frankenweenie one, etc etc.

SUBMITTING

you can submit through my asks. please give me the name of the character, source, any AU specifications if needed and images of OCS. image sources for unpopular media are appreciated. i'd like it if you could give me information about the character and how they are a mad scientist, what tag they may fit into and whatnot but it isn't necessary. go nuts.

SUBCATEGORIES

the subcategories of mad scientist, made by yours truly. I made these up I don't think anyone else categorises them like I do.

CONCOCTION MAKER: guys who make chemicals

REANIMATOR: guys who reanimate

RESEARCHER: guys who research science

LAB TEACHER: science teachers!!

MAD INVENTOR: guys who invent stuff

UNETHICAL EXPERIMENTER: don't let them into the lab. they're going to commit a crime or experiment on someone or both.

MISC: anyone I can't shove into one or more of these categories

ABOUT MOD

I am a minor, mostly active on twitter but I like it here people are nicer. I am autistic, my special interests include vocaloid and classical literature, specifically gothic science fiction. jekyll and hyde my beloved. I own a lab coat, 2 pairs of goggles, some nice boots and I cannot actually do science. too stupid.

edit! following a huge influx in submissions, I'd like to let it be known that it may take a while. also, if you submit multiple characters from the same source, I'll likely space them out across days.

My favourite Sherlock Holmes fanfic was the "Jekyll and Hyde" crossover where Sherlock solved Dr. Jekyll's case, only to have it revealed later that Holmes himself experimented with the same chemical and Moriarti was his evil side. It was more clever than my summary makes it sound. It's in Russian, so there's hardly any use to link it, but nonetheless. Classlit characters are excellent for playing dolls like that, is what I'm saying.

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John H. Watson are like Barbie dolls to me and I am like an extremely lonely 10 year old with burgeoning mental illness constructing elaborate, violent, romantic, sad, homosexual plot lines revolving around my my dolls’ personal lives.

bud i don’t know how to explain to you that in this situation that does not in fact hinder me whatsoever from continuing to introduce Vampire Shenanigans into your schedule

if i was a vampire i would hang up a bunch of pictures in my house but for some reason inexplicably one wall of pictures would have them all hung sideways and then whenever the rando i’ve lured into my Vampire House looks at them they’ll instinctively tilt their head to one side to look at the pictures thus leaving their neck wide open for Vampire Shenanigans to ensue. step one of making this plan happen is becoming a vampire. if you’re a vampire i’ll totally let you have my very good idea but in exchange you gotta make me a vampire also, no take backsies
