[pebble-bra1n]

a common theme among gay victorian men

I think this era is ready to discuss how much John Watson describes people's hands

[averagegrianfan]

Sometimes my brain likes to cooperate and actually draws something good in pencil😇

Ignore his right arm nobody knows where it has gone :3 idk Hyde ate it or something

Um, hi!! Just realized there's a bunch of stuff I forgot to post from like, a couple of months ago, soooo, "updated" Mind Jekyll Ref(s)!!!

Little rundown just so it's here too:

  A resident of Lanyon's mindscape, he's a sparkly amalgamation of Jekyll and Hyde. Wandering between the ballroom, halls, and his lab, he mainly dances, experiments, and charms. He has phantom pains all around his body, stemming from Lanyon's constant fear of Jekyll getting hurt (especially via potion mishaps), and has a limp in his left leg from recurring nightmares of Jekyll stepping in a bear trap on the faithful Bleeding Heart Night™.

    Before Lanyon and Elias split, mind Jekyll looked far more like normal Jekyll and acted a bittt more awkward. however, after learning of Jekylls duality, mindkyll became a bit more Hyde like, his sideburns growing out, his hair growing messier, and gaining a hole filled cape and green hat, as well as gradient eyes. He hates his new appearance a decent bit, blaming Elias for it. However, he still certainly wasn't innocent before.

    He spends most of his time in the ballroom, since Lanyon taught him how to act "proper" and he seemingly surpassed Lanyon at that, causing him to become a sort of icon to Lanyon in that sense. In the ballroom he's quite the charmer, going between the shadow people and playing them as he wishes, which stems from Lanyon's jealousy of how Jekyll acted (and still acts) with women at parties while they were together.

All in all, a lot of Mindkyll's character stems from Lanyon's twisted view of Jekyll after their breakup and when Lanyon was plagued with jealousy, and then of course a decent bit is Hyde's influence as well. He also holds a lot of Lanyon's "rebellious" stage, since he's still a part of Lanyon.

He also lets off sparkles as a sort of defense mechanism for when he feels threatened or starts getting impatient/aggravated. They have a somewhat calming effect, most of the time at least, made to distract people from his real intentions and feelings, or pose as a visit distraction so he can flee if need be. Occasionally, however, their impact/sway is dulled, like against Mind Everly. Eventually, Lanyon starts becoming more resistant to their sway, and after a certain future event, so does Elias.

On top of this, if you wanna read allll about Lanyon's mindscape (which I completely built, including rooms, mind people, nightmares, and other extra things) uhhhh there's a big post for it here!!! Including sketches of all the rooms, really cool big project of mine, so yea, it'd be really cool if you checked that out <3.

Hyde meeting Sir Danvers

Sir Danvers dies 3 seconds after

based on this

Here’s the Jekyll I made for my 3D modeling final! He’s inspired by a mix of Barrymore Jekyll and TGS Jekyll. There’s definitely some parts of it I could’ve done better if I had more time, but finals really snuck up on me this semester. Still, I got to put Jekyll in high heels and a corset for a grade, so that’s always fun :D

[jayizowo]

doodled some moots’ interpretations of jekyll!! they’re all so super cool and awesome :DD ( @crowthingexe , @plantsarecooleh, @sciencegothic )

[plantsarecooleh]

i saw @jayizowo’s design for Lisa and i immediately thought of my jekkyl. They so twin fr.

Would Henry Jekyll (The glass scientists) listen to chappell Roan's song: good luck babe ?

hyde's anatomy

Psychological / Neurological Aspects

this is the first thing that happens before the actual physical transformation

the formula interacts with the brain to produce large amounts of endorphins and stimulants

this is so that the person doesn't experience too much pain before, during, and after the transformation; but of course that has its limits

the stimulants help the body move around because the transformation leaves the body vulnerable. so once the transformation's over, the stimulants can help move the body to a safer area

Physical Aspects - Hyde

in the first transformation, hyde looked pale due to the blood loss. see the details of the transformation here

over time hyde gradually regains color

hyde looks young because the formula interacted with the youth elixir jekyll took, so hyde looked like jekyll's teen self

since hyde was high on stimulants on the first time, he didnt notice that the general structural integrity of his body was hanging by a thread

so much so that jekyll is bedridden for 4 months

hyde's skeletal structure is based of a four-legged mammal (like cats, dogs, bears, big cats, etc.)

hyde was hunched over in the early transformations because the body isnt still yet used to the transformation

but over time he can stand upright

hyde's recovery into a healthy and strong entity is because of the constant use of the formula

also hyde can parkour his way out of most situations

over time he gains more physical strength

Physical Aspects - Jekyll

he doesnt bleed/melt after the first transformation bc his flesh just squashes and stretches depending who he transforms into

jekyll looks a lot older, ie his skin is a lot thinner, and his body becomes progressively get weaker and weaker that his hair turns white (in which the appearance undos the elixir)

over time, bc jekyll has been taking the formula frequently, he gains tolerance and so his body is resisting the transformation sequence

back then, it was jekyll/hyde and vice versa; later in the story, it is mid-transformation/hyde. this is one of the many reasons why jekyll is desperate to make the antidote for the formula

at one point jekyll's body is so weak that he is almost crawling

Physical Aspects - General

there is a supernatural aspect to hyde's form

to start the transformation process the formula puts the mind into the soul (bc the bone cronching process shuffles the spine and the throat is always the most affected by the skeletal transformation)

the mind acts as some sort of barrier for the soul, so whenever people see hyde, his intents seep into the world

for example, if hyde is plotting a vengeful murder, a person nearby can sense it

it's the same for jekyll

obviously, both are capable for a spectrum of intents

however, during the transformation, since the body is literally being broken down, the mind-soul is more seen

with lanyon seeing this, the revelation had caused physical damage which also damaged his psyche

probably going to edit this if i get ideas

A gothic literature hyperfixation has possessed me so I made this
