#the strange case of dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

[myowndarkway-main]

This was me the first time I read the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I mean Jekyll/Hyde kinda had it coming, I just felt so bad for his boyfriend "best friend " Gabriel Utterson. He deserved better and I would very much like to give him a hug.

Hey. Don't cry. Weird teenage girl somewhere out there reading Frankenstein for the first time. Ok?

Jekyll emoting like Hyde and Hyde emoting like Jekyll.

Technically this isn't even ooc hmm

Life is difficult. Sometimes you just gotta mix a few chemicals together and drink 'em, subsiquently turning into a different person as you let the darkness within your soul overtake you.

I FINALLY FINISHED MY ANIMATIC-PART FOR THE J&H COLLAB, YIPPEE WOOOOOOOHOOOOO

It's not my best work, as it's really choppy + this one's just a small GIF (the original one is gonna be larger in size and an actual video) + editing this was horrible (better quality gonna be in the final product btw in April). But I'm happy with it nonetheless!!! Excited about the collab! <333

Hello and welcome to this roleplay blog

The SCP Foundation + an original character somewhat inspired by The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

I RESPOND IN CHARACTER unless you see "OOC" tag

But let's try to minimise those.

Don't take anything seriously— the wall will be full of sarcastic comments, satirical sketches, some lore and, perhaps, a couple of comic strips

This is one man but you aren't supposed to know it

Dr. Henry Jekyll:

Oh, you won't miss the only teal-haired Brit in the infirmary. Nurses jokingly say this 5'8 twig of a director learnt to run so fast just to escape the huge amount of paperwork stacked in the office of the Medical Department.

Common knowledge:

- Knows the corridors of the Site-518 like the back of his hand

- Despises anomalies, especially humanoids, for personal reasons

- Reluctant to admit that used to do ballet and was a huge geek (comic books)

- Takes care of his hands, would rather kick than throw a punch

- Rarely questions official orders

- Is genuinely afraid of cars and any mention of Dr. Gerald's name

Rumours:

- Had something to do with military or even FBI

- Owns a blog with caricatures [yes, this one]

- Has a restraining order against Dr. Edward Maxwell

- Is a reptiloid undercover

- Fakes British accent to sound smarter

- Owns a dakimakura of Hatsune Miku

- Once prescribed a rookie "a shot of whiskey in the morning" to tolerate Clef's bullshit

- Has written a short guide to playing dead in front of interns

- His hair smells like mint and judgement

Dr. Edward Maxwell

Ted is a rare guest at the site. Everybody knows that the 6'3 jock is an anomaly with those glowing eyes. No one calls him a doctor, hell, people tend to forget he has any degree at all due to the ability to drag three idiots at once out of the training room.

Common knowledge:

- Is known for dragging the injured out of red zones

- Loyal to the Foundation to the bone

- Listens only to the high-ranking personnel of the site

- If Ted's nearby, you're up for a hugging session

- Grumbles when called "Teddy bear", but can't do anything with the clung nickname

Rumours:

- Is a werewolf

- Is terrified of slippers

- Steals Jekyll's phone for shits and giggles

- Once ended up in MTF Zeta-9 "Mole Rats" because of a murder attempt

- Was actually found in a dumpster during a field mission in Scotland

- Sometimes thinks he's Heracles —was occasionally noticed walking through the site in a bedsheet draped like Greek toga

- Is prohibited to get access to cough syrup

- Is prohibited to approach Dr. Henry Jekyll

- Is prohibited to 'lecture' Euclids

- Has a tendency to throw people out of the window. Literally.

- Once was asked to pick up some milk, fetched a cow

- Torpedoed a shark during a mission. No footage found, no comments given.

actually it's Utterson who's my favourite character from Jekyll and Hyde because 1. he's a thriller nerd 2. would probably lose in a fight but that has never stopped him before 3. he's an unfazed child of divorce

[afkphorabit]

if you ask me, a man's worst experience isn't the most racking pangs, the grinding in the bones, the deadly nausea, the horror of the spirit that cannot be exceeded at the hour or birth or death, the knowledge he is tenfold more wicked that braces and delights him like wine. it's looking at your hands and realizing you're 5 foot tall

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Time, where jekyll can go back in time and fix his mistakes…but he has to do it as hyde. aka mr. time

[i-am-mrhyde]

Been thinking a lot about the constant dehumanisation that’s like inherent to every description of Hyde and how that’s what we’re TAUGHT to say about him, when in reality the crux of what Hyde is is WHOLLY HUMAN. He’s not some mindless animal or a demon taking over, he’s every HUMAN aspect that Jekyll wants or has to hide.

Also the inherent ableism of that. “The reason this guy looks weird is because he’s evil/he’s evil because he looks weird” is a CRAZY message.

Hyde is entirely human and characters within the book can’t handle that so they dehumanise him consistently until he’s dead and they finally realise that oh, this was a HUMAN BEING.

WHY DID NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT MARY REILLY??? IT'S BASICALLY A WHOLE JEKYLL X READER FANFIC. I was honestly expecting the maid/narrator to admire jekyll from the distance, but they interacted quite a lot and were wayyy too close

[strangestcase]

”The Substance is the most accurate adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde” I don’t remember Jekyll drinking the potion because his self-worth and livelihood solely depend on him being fuckable to gross old men that only see Hyde as walking boobs and ass with no opinions but what do I know

anyway if dracula daily made you realize how great the book dracula is, please read jekyll and hyde, it's also extremely good. and the audiobook narrated by richard armitage is EXCELLENT.

[prokopetz]

I think we need one of those popular read-along blogs to tackle The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the same way that's been done for Dracula and Moby-Dick. The number of folks around here who appear to be under the impression that reading a queer subtext into Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a subversion rather than being straightforwardly material to the plot is frankly embarrassing, and I'm assuming this is because nobody's actually read the damn thing.

[checkoutmybookshelf]

Maybe it's because I was a PBS kid and the Jekyll and Hyde episodes of Wishbone and Arthur stood out to me more than the Frankenstein one, but I was floored when I got to school, made friends, and realized that Jekyll WASN'T the iconic mad scientist in pop culture.
