Chapter 9: Dr. Lanyon's Narrative

I've had this meme template sitting on my computer for nearly 2 years and suddenly had divine inspiration strike

that one part of Jekyll and Hyde where Jekyll says “ It was the curse of mankind that these incongruous faggots were thus bound together…” is so funny to me because I know he’s referring to the old fashioned bundle of sticks but like. Cmon. It’s so much funnier to think that Jekyll was writing his statement and really went ah shit those two evil gay ass motherfuckers being bound together is the worst thing that could’ve happened in the history of ever.

the things is, hyde is an embodiment of jekyll’s evil. he is jekyll, just without the parts that make hime good. and isn’t that so scary? the person who takes over your body sometimes, who does these awful things - he may give himself another name, but he’s still you. i think that’s what makes jekyll and hyde so interesting and so devastating to me, the thought of jekyll having that crushing realisation that he is hyde, and hyde is him. and he can’t undo that

[whimsy-beetle]

Ok i think it s time i show tumblr my jekyll and hyde character designs.

Them!

Ok so, i was reading the book for the second time and Utterson's description comes up and, listen, I HAD A VISION. I absolutely love the "lean, long, dusty, dreary and yet somehow lovable" middle aged man description, you don't understand. This book is peak, you just don t get fire lines like "if he be mister Hyde, i shall be mister Seek" in contemporarty fiction anymore.

And, as much as i need a low budget victorian twink anime adaptation of the story, IT WOULD GO SO HARD as one of those obscure and very whimsical european animated films [those ones with an artstyle, if you know what i mean, very shape, and with lots of funky textures (maybe)]

So i took it upon myself to design the characters! I shall now yap about them.

Utterson is pretty straight foreward, he is indeed very lovable, can confirm. He is the reason i started making these designs.

Hyde was a hard one because, yes he's drscribed a lot in the book, but no one ever mentions any particular traits. Like, my bro, "deform, but with no nameable deformity" doesn't fucking help?? Instead i drew him in a slightly different art style (most notably, i gave him irises, yes, very evil train indeed). Can't say i wasn't influenced by the MazM game with the hairstyle :3

Jekyl..uhhh..he's kinda just there i guess.

Oh oh and also, throughout this supposed movie i imagine you don't get to see Hyde's face until what happens in the last chapter (like, his face would be cast in shadow, or hidden by funky composition idk), also because no one in the book can describe him propperly, very ambiguous litte man.

Shitposts were due, as suggested by my friends:

I did not research vivtorian fashion for this, oh well.

Some tgs panel redraws for funsies

[aanthonyvb]

Jekyll rocks ochre colours and enjoys dressing up for the occasion, meanwhile Utterson has like three coats that all look the same.

You can’t be too good at your job: FALSE.

Richard Mansfield’s 1880s onstage portrayal of Dr. Jekyll’s transformation into Mr. Hyde was so good that people accused him of being Jack the Ripper and even wrote letters to the London police encouraging his arrest.

Stanford Henry Pines and William Edward Cipher - Jekyll and Hyde AU designs :3

Art based on the artwork of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by: Ivan Shavrin

Instead of wanting to separate one's being through a potion, like Jekyll, Stanford is interested in investigating parallel universes and finding out if he can project parts of people that they didn't want onto an alternative version of themselves, getting rid of the negative side easily. He found out about William through a book that appeared in his lab after coming home from a failed pitch for his research and summoned him. William lies saying that he knows how to make an interdimensional portal that would serve as an access point to a giant network of dimensions, he offers his guidance and knowledge in exchange for control of Ford's mind and body. He then instructed Stanford on how to create a drug that would prevent neural connections and transmissions to allow easier access to his brain.

William would use this drug with previous researchers or even large groups of people (cults) to facilitate possession and control and make the mind weaker to his influence over time, which is how he was able to intrude without it later on

Got super inspired by someone's rendition of Ford and Bill as Jekyll and Hyde, so I had to do my own with Loretta, My Gravity Falls oc, and Bill!! Jekyll and Hyde has been an interest of mine for years, so I thought it was such a fun idea to mash the two together- Its them,,, kinda (its not actually them but I LOVEEE it)

[cyberr-v0id]

I hate my life I need to (remembers suicide and self harm jokes are bad for my mental health) write up an analysis on all of the themes and motifs present in Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde, and 20000 leagues under the sea and how they all contributed to modern sci-fi and literature

List of classic literature characters I think I could take in a fight:

1. Frankenstein

Hes a pussy ass bitch. One punch and he'd be crying on the floor acting like it isn't the consequences of his own actions. I'd get 10 extra points for hitting him with a tree branch cause I can make the joke of nature being the folly of men. Fuck that guy, I could beat his ass and steal his weird sister-wife.

2. Hamlet

Bro would take ten whole minutes hemming and hawing over whether or not to fight. Like bro, get on with it. Bro can't even get one job done and ends up getting everyone else harmed before even landing a hit on the target. It would be a tough fight cause he's trained but I feel like I could say "look a ghost of your father! look your evil uncle is being evil" and he'd be distracted.

3. Gatsby

Easy. BUT SOLAR, HE WAS IN THE WAR! And? If I start losing I could literally say Look its daisy and my man would be running to find her. I feel like I could take him out. Anyone going after a married woman could be an easy fight.

Characters I don't think I could take in a fight:

1. Jekyll and Hyde.

Bro I'd feel bad fighting Jekyll. Unlike dumbass Victor, bro was a real scientist who experimented on himself instead of other people. He's a good guy, I couldn't do it. Hyde on the other hand would fucking fold me. Bro bashed a guy's head in with I think a stick (I don't remember). He's winning that one. Bro stomped on a child with no remorse and no hesitation. I ain't surviving, get me out of the ring. I might be confident but I ain't stupid. Unlike victor frankenstein. Screw that guy, he's not even a real scientist. Stupid ass bitch.
