#jekyll and hyde quest

[taxidermybymail]

I am on a quest to experience EVERY PIECE OF JEKYLL AND HYDE MEDIA EVER MADE--and I need your help!

Is this impossible? Yes. Do I care? No.

I've watched, read, and listened to most of the easily accessible Jekyll and Hyde media, including many of the movies, the musical, and The Glass Scientists. I am on the hunt for weirder, more obscure J&H adaptations that you can't find with a cursory google search. If you've found anything, anything at all, in any medium, please send it to me! I must continue my quest!

THEY'RE FRIENDS BECAUSE I SAID SO

Ik they had no interactions but if they did it would've been fun to see their dynamic-

Holt's energetic behavior vs Ghoulia's calm demeanor vs Jackson's shy and awkward presence

Holt encouraging Ghoulia (basically "LEMME HEAR YOU SAY GHOULIA!")

She fills them in what they missed while they were gone

Ghoulia and Jackson being introverts while doing mad scientist stuff

Also you can't tell me she didn't break them out of jail at least once

(Scalene is seen holding a bottle of water in some kind of lab)

scalene “it happened one cold night a stranges blade and failed defenses (an image of ford is seen) I headed towards the light (she looks away and destroys the image) but I rejected its call and came to my senses (looks through a window) something tagged along and from time on our bond keeps growing strong “

(Euclid’s shadow appears)

Euclid “from the depths of hell I came alive (takes scalene’s hand) with the prettiest girl i helped revive but a formless shadow needs to survive had to eat a few souls from which I’d derive (dances with scalene) a body some features too all in the quest to help me love you can a girl really fall for a demon inside Guess you’re the Jekyll and I’m your Hyde “

(They stop dancing and scalene takes her husband to a book)

scalene “Euclid “

Euclid “scalene “

scalene “just cast their judgement aside cuz I don’t wanna reisde in a world where you don’t exist “

(Euclid places his hand on her cheek)

ok but what about taking care of Jekyll when he’s sick? And just being a doting wife because I’m a sucker for taking care of people.

☆ — taking care of sick jekyll

✧ masterlist — navigation

✧ carmillas notes — okay guys finally writing again 🔥 i love you jekyll and hyde requests . also i am terrible at incorporating gender into these so it’s gn 😞 i apologize

✧ warnings — none other than a few swears

he probably refuses to admit that he’s sick lmao

other than refusing to believe he’s sick he’s surprisingly pretty easy to take care of cause he kinda just lays there and complains the entire time

he lets you feed him and take care of him but he’s still gonna be like “i am NOT sick”

but really with him you don’t have much to worry about

you should be worried about hyde vanishing in the middle of the night if anything but he also kinda just lays there and complains (if it’s after he drinks the potion)

because he’s sick jekyll gets extremely bored and tries to get up and go be weird and make more terrible life decisions regarding potions

he likes to fuck around and find out what can i say

he will only eat soup while he’s sick with almost no expectations

and that little shit can smell soup a mile away. the second you bring it to him he’s sitting up completely ready

soup junkie istg

he’d be pretty annoyed with the amount of things he isn’t able to do while sick so he most likely sends you on random errands with a million side quests

he’d do it himself but like. he can’t!

anyway because he’s kind of a cunt his tasks are really easy but they just take awhile so while you’re gone he tries to be terrible again but instead you find him passed out on the floor

it’s like girl.. what is wrong with you!!

he sits there like ☹️ while getting scolded for it and it’s kinda the funniest thing he’s ever done

after that he becomes more easy to deal with

well he was easy to deal with before but now he doesn’t try to conjure shit up while you’re gone

he’s one of those people who’s sick for like a week every five years but when he gets sick he gets SICK

he’s practically dying you might wanna consider calling a doctor

he’d be like “i’m a doctor i’ll be fine” “you’re not that kind of doctor..”

he’s fine but he just has a ridiculously high fever like a loser

anyway as quickly as he becomes sick after a week or so he’s perfectly fine and back to doing his weird bullshit

he’s the type of person where there wasn’t even a proper name for what he had. he just had some alien disease and went with it

he’s fine for the next 5-10 years where he gets sick again

old men istg…

Jekyll and Hyde Quest Part One: THE BOOKS

So, uh. Yeah! I have quite a few books. I'm going to put a closeup of each cover and a short review beneath a cut. I have another book coming as an Unspecified Winter Holiday gift. I'll add it in a reblog when I get it!

This book... is not about Jekyll and Hyde. It's a fine book, I read about a third of it, and it's just not Jekyll and Hyde. The protagonist is Edward Hyde, which is fun, but he's so different it's not the same story at all. There is a moment early on where a doctor basically looks at the camera and says "being mentally ill doesn't make you a monstrous murderer," which should be the standard for J&H stories. If you like gaslamp fantasy you might enjoy this book, but it wasn't what I was hoping for.

I don't remember where I got this one. It's a comic! It's got a classic comic style. Not much to say about this one, it's alright.

I... haven't read this one. I don't plan on reading this one. It's a college romance, which really isn't my thing. I bought it for the sake of having it.

Another one I bought for the sake of having it. It's nice! Cost me like $8, not too bad.

My pretty boy. My precious darling. She sparkles! I haven't actually read this one, it's too pretty. (And here, tumblr is beginning to lag...)

My other pretty one! Bought this from a very cute young man in a book village. She's a little beat up because I don't have anywhere good to keep my books right now. The cover is soft!

When I actually want to read Jekyll and Hyde, this is the edition I actually read. It's torn from living in my bag :(. I bought this edition at a record store!

This one has a really cool educational insert! It teaches you vocab and has a little bit about R. L. Stevenson's life. There are even scenes from one of the movies, though I haven't been able to figure out which.

My first Jekyll and Hyde book. Hyde doesn't look like that in the illustrations, but he still manages to be problematic.

Not featured is Dr Jekyll, Orthodontist, because that book deserves its own post and I ran out of images.

One Eyed Crows (handmade Il Dottore keychain plushies)

Since I played Sumeru Archon quests those little guys got stuck in my head. Since then I'm making more and more of them... Maybe it's time to think about releasing them to other homes? Those little guys are pretty interesting. Their design shows how incomplete Dottore is - instead of having two eyes, they are cyclops. You won't witness birds like that anywhere in the world of Genshin recently. They can symbolize segments or the fact that Dottore has multiple personalities (which I think is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde reference), but I also think it shows that all his life he really had his own company. In the deep sadness there are only those little birbs, parts of him that can soothe him or at least understand how lonely he is as someone who doesn't fit in to the societal standards. He probably wants to belong but also doesn't think he deserves it as he knows himself and the darkness he carries.

Don't repost my artworks please! I'll appreciate likes, comments and reblogs. ♡

DRACTOBER: DAY ONE

The first day of Drac-tober is upon us! I will be upfront with y’all, the likelihood that these will actually be daily updates continues to slim. I am a college student, first and foremost, but the wi-fi in my dorm has also totally shit the bed, and until that gets resolved (and I don’t know when that will be), watching all these films will be way more inconvenient. But, we’ll see how it all goes!

If you missed the update, I decided to use a random wheel to determine my watch order, rather than the chronological order I listed the films in originally. This film, however, was not decided by the wheel, but by the fact that my roommates really wanted to watch it with me, so it got first dibs.

For the first day of Drac-tober, we will be reviewing… Van Helsing (2004)!

As a reminder, I will be rating each film on two 1-10 scales: its accuracy as a Dracula adaptation, and how much I enjoyed it. This is a different scale than “was it good”. This disclaimer is particularly important for today’s film.

Van Helsing follows Gabriel (I KNOW) Van Helsing, monster hunter for the Vatican circa the 1880s. Van Helsing, played by Hugh Jackman, is peak 2000s eye candy, tragic but amnesiac past and all. He’s sent on a quest to slay Count Dracula and help Romani (not the word they use) prince and princess Velkan and Anna Valerious lift the curse on their family line. This movie includes most of the iconic movie monsters you can think of in some capacity (Dracula and his brides, of course, alongside Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and various werewolves), and is, to say the least, only barely a Dracula adaptation.

Now, onto our first scale- is this a good adaptation of Dracula?

No. Of course not. But I did not expect it to be, and as far as I’m aware, it didn’t really market itself as such. Just about the only thing this film had down about Dracula was the Count’s horny tension with literally everyone, but that’s just sort of a given for any film with vampires in it, frankly. Easy 1/10 on the accuracy scale. They couldn’t even get Van Helsing’s first name right.

Now, as previously stated, I watched this film with two of my roommates. This greatly upped the enjoyment factor. First of all, watching my roommates lust after Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale was extremely funny. Second of all, the value of being able to shout, together, in complete surprise at the twists and turns of this movie cannot be overstated. My favorite example is when the credits began, and the dedication to the film was to the director’s deceased father. We were flabbergasted.

This movie was also laughably strange, most of the time. The plot moved quickly enough and was stupid enough that I had fun with it, despite the fact that it had absolutely nothing to do with any of the characters involved in the film. Frankly, the most accurately adapted character was probably Frankenstein’s monster, since he was actually fully articulate (though that’s where most of the similarities to his book counterpart end).

There was also the element of the brides, who are given quite a bit more screen time and motive in this film than in the actual novel. They all have names, which is nice, and while their motive of wanting to bring their children with Dracula to life is… interesting, at least it’s there. There was also a wild amount of homoerotic tension between Aleera (the bride who lives the longest) and Anna (the female lead) which I did not see coming, but did appreciate.

That, however, is where my praise for the women in this film ends. While the brides have names and motivations, a step up from the novel, this movie is not good to its women. They are sex objects, first and foremost (and I suspect this is why the lesbian tension is there at all). They are motivators for the men above all else and literally all of them end up dead by the film’s conclusion. I cannot describe the disappointment and anger that was in the room when we realized Anna died.

There is also, of course, the fetishization and misrepresentation of Romani people present in the film. The script refers to them using the G-slur, for one, but all these supposedly Romani characters are played by white people, and are also getting saved by this random white man. The Romani heritage of the Velarious clan is basically forgotten past the first 30 minutes of the film, and thank god for it, because I know it wouldn’t have been handled well.

All in all, was this, by any stretch of the imagination a good movie? No, absolutely not. But it was a great movie to watch with my roommates on a Friday night. 7/10 on the enjoyment scale.

In conclusion, was Van Helsing (2004) a particularly good film, as an adaptation of Dracula or otherwise? No, absolutely not. But you knew that already. I would, however, recommend giving it a watch if you have friends to enjoy it with and maybe a beer or two. I don’t know if I’ll ever be returning to this film, but I had a great time watching it. It’s score may be a 4/10 overall, but it was a great start to the month.

prior to my shift, my day went pretty well. i finished The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, did laundry (but didn’t put it away), and ate a real meal. my big quests (only necessities are listed, and they’re less since it’s saturday) tomorrow are:

• unit 5, english 2 exam

• section 1–2 of unit 6, english 2 (ideally more)

• learn the music for church

• put away laundry

slowly but surely finishing english 2 soon. i have been praying more consistently, and becoming closer with The Lord. my shift at work was so frustrating i just cried the whole way home. it’s safe to say im not looking forward to tomorrow. but pray, i must. this is my opportunity to serve (literally!) tired now, so, goodnight!

Occasionally I like thinking about 3 Adventurer crossover scenarios with my Graham AUs

and this one sort of led to... Saltin (and not Graham) pulling a Mako and unreasonably antagonizing Guybrush and Guybrush only. Graham has no idea why.

Bonus: Saltin's horrible, no-filter brain strikes again!
