#my goth transfemme frankenstein just found her evil twin brother#*shaking hands obnoxiously long*#we can put so much trauma and chronic illnes into this kid together#don't forget to draw the sick goth boots on him that you always wanted to have

Dude's got sick goth boots for every day of the week*. And hey, maybe if our Frankensteins combine their assorted traumas and illnesses and gay little gothicnesses together, they can make it through their narratives unscathed!**

*All boots are sick goth boots when you're a goth who's always sick, eyyy

**Narrator: This is not now or ever possible. Get wrecked little doomed scientists, lmao

Currently spiraling into the 1980's Industrial Goth Frankenstein AU of my own design, featuring fun concepts like:

-Victor Frankenstein being even more beset than he was in the 1790s

-A combo of bi/trans/genderfluid/demi/general gender-and-orientation fuckery to 1) Give the whole 'obsessed with Building a New and Improved Type of Guy' a fresh lens, 2) Add more BS to deal with in the 80's, and 3) More reason to deep dive into alternative gothic scenes

-Victor, born suffering a medley of physical issues, parental death trauma issues, hated and/or disowned for not identifying loving being existing 'right' issues by general society and his only living parent, has had three hours of sleep in the past 48 hours: "Why can't everyone be better? Why can't human beings all just come out right and healthy and deathless? Someone should get on that."

-Something something, returning to the original point of the Creature's creation being Victor trying desperately to Make a Person Too Healthy, Strong, and Well-Made to Suffer or Know Suffering From Poor Health/Death, something something. Probably a lot more to unpack ala the whole 'built a giant premade muscle man OC/Creature as a way to cope with everything,' both in meta and generational expectation terms.

-Creature, at some point, hands freshly-red: "Am I not what you made me to be? Am I not what you wanted? Am I not what you wished you were?"

-At least he can listen to Bauhaus while dealing with all this
