#evil Frankenstein be like

[cowboycannibalism]

one of the things that annoys me so bad right now is seeing letterboxd reviews about Lisa Frankenstein being like "she's such a horrible character", "those people didn't deserve to be killed" blah blah blah

SHUT UP

it's a horror romance!! a girl keeps a reanimated dead guy in her closet and falls in love with him! what did you think was going to happen? it's SUPPOSED to be fucked up and weird and that's part of its charm. quit being boring, let female characters (esp in horror) be messy and chaotic and morally gray.

Unhinged “trust me, I’m a doctor” scientist & their partner whom they perform questionable experiments on is my favorite dynamic

I think we should combine musicals with the genre of horror more often. Let’s be schlocky and self-indulgent and gay… together…

Any ways Frankenstein is 100% gonna use this as an excuse to stay instead of admitting to herself that she actually likes the lodgers and nearly completely isolating herself isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be 🙄

[pilferingapples]

keep seeing posts along the lines of "remember YOU could be just like this villainous character you hate" and it's always some real high-achiever type and I appreciate the moral sentiment of it all but also

no

no I couldn't

I do not have that kind of energy , I'm doing good to feed the cats on time and I routinely forget what day of the week it is, I am NOT implementing some 4D chess scheme to deploy a Warbot Army downtown, or building an affront to the laws of god and man in my basement

at my most badass I'm Not Returning Some Phone Calls , if I am ever the villain of the piece than I truly feel sorry for the hero whose Nemesis Assignment Assessment looked at them and said "we're assigning you...The Napper"

Gender and style ramblings ahoy!

Growing up I was never really "girly", and by that I mean I love pretty things, elegant things, stereo-typically "feminine" things, but more...more as a bystander than a participant, if that makes any sense? So in my teens while I was figuring out what I liked, I preferred sort of masculine-androgynous styles... and I was made to feel like absolute crap about it. Constantly facing sneers and frowns even from people I loved and trusted, and the pressure to change got 10x worse when I started working and suddenly found myself meeting hundreds of strangers daily.

It was weird because I grew up in a fairly progressive place with relatively progressive people and saw loads of women one might describe as "butch", so I never really understood why they could get to be themselves but I was heavily discouraged from the same. So I guess I rationalised it in my head by thinking that butch was a style for women who were either very handsome or very confident and capable, and neither of those described me. I wasn't "good enough" to be masc so I'd instead have to put in a lot of work to be more feminine (something I'd never say about another person, but I've always been much more cruel to myself than I am to others).

I think in part this was to do with my undiagnosed autism as well - maybe people thought that if I looked more like their idea of a woman I'd stick out less as a weirdo.

So for the past decade or so I've tried to fit myself into a shape that prioritised what other people would like to see instead of who I'd like to be. And I thought "ok, if I can be feminine but kind of edgy, everybody wins! Funky haircuts and punk or retro clothing but with a shedload of makeup and holding myself in a way that makes me look smaller, that'll do, right?" I trimmed myself down and covered myself up until I could be palatable to those around me.

But over this past year or so I've learned a lot of things about myself, and I've been deconstructing a lot of things about the way I view myself that I had already dealt with years ago about how I view others, and I came to the conclusion that all that wasn't making me happy. There were elements that I liked, I still love my dangly kooky earrings and sometimes playing around with makeup can be fun, but altogether the femme identity started to feel like a jacket that fit me really badly to begin with and was getting worse with each passing year, to the point it was squishing in my ribcage and giving me breathing problems.

In recent months I've been experimenting with more masculine/neutral clothing, wearing makeup way less, and had a barber cut my hair shorter than it's ever been before (which was a whole revelation because previously I've paid upward of £35 to have hairdressers ignore my instructions, and this lad did a perfect job for £12 in my living room). I was so scared that I'd look ugly or stupid but instead, I'm happier than I've ever been. I'm still 90-something percent sure that I'm cis, but as an autistic lesbian I feel like I have a more unique relationship with gender as a concept and it feels so freeing to now be able to express it. I'm getting much more comfortable with my natural face (not completely as you can see, I am still a recovering victim of 90s eyebrow trends, but we'll get there.) I accentuate my naturally broad shoulders and square jaw instead of trying to hide them. I wear shirts bought from the men's section of thrift shops. And when I look in the mirror I see me, and not the masquerade version of myself that others might want me to be.

I'm really happy, but I wish I had figured out all this sooner.

the review threads of Kyuhyun and Euntae’s final performance together in Frankenstein together have been making me crazy so I had to draw their North Pole 🥺 I’m so happy they were allowed to do so much for an officially recorded performance and have their final show as a pair be a really special one

[butchhoods]

The way ppl read classics with their eyes closed is so annoying they'll be inventing up new traits and plot points to the story and make up entire lies about the story itself AS WELL as the author

[chocolatey-umbreon]

only now im starting today’s Frankenstein and im already losing it.

literally the first line of the book that gave origin to one of the most popular halloween monsters and it is “nope! no disasters here!! nothing evil at all happening! haha!”

[zentriii]

trick or treat 🫵(•_•)🎃

every ask u send me increasingly feels like ur trying to make me shit myself btw 🥰

the current fic is shaping up to be a hurt/comfort but i'm not quite at the point where atsumu goes through it yet, but rest assured, i shall do everything in my power so that he does o7

here's a more lighthearted part from the beginning with one of my favourite lines:

“Anyways, are ya busy today?” Atsumu’s back straightens out of reflex. There’s a soft laugh in Osamu’s voice – that’s fine, that’s normal – but he’s strung his words together quickly, rushed in excitement, and that’s rare. He’s up to something. Atsumu can feel it. (He likes to call it twin intuition, twin-tuition if you will, but either way: colour him intrigued.)

he's just being a silly lad rn and twin-tuition is like. peak silly i adore it ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ

wanna come trick or treating?

[musicalsiphonophore]

[thebansheeoflamordia]

Felt like drawing My Girl and her sister

[bi-demon-ium]

this is the man that had the audacity to be like [dainty offended gasp] evil? moi?? sir have you seen yourself

[faaun]

omg i FEEL you about the asd articles... i'm cuttently studying psychology and THIS makes me wanna go and pursue a job in research after graduating :')

yeah !! you should! i study a very interdisciplinary degree and out of all the fields I study in (ML/phil/psych/neuro) psychology has the most inconsistent, outright harmful, sometimes misinformed-at-best info sprinkled into publications and even lectures and it's a genuine source of frustration ! we need def need more researchers committed to accuracy and fairness and eliminating stigmas, biases, etc. :)
