#think Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

[drac-kool-aid]

I've talked about it in some tags, but I'm thinking more on it, and I really do believe that there is something.....mmmmm supernatural and particularly gothic going on with the impersonation game Dracula is playing.

The eerie supernatural double was actually a very big theme in gothic literature as well as folklore of the time. Hell, two very famous deaths (Abraham Lincoln and Percy Shelly) have doppelganger sightings attached to them (although whether or not they are true or just added on postmortem to further sensationalize the event, I do not know).

Basically, you or someone you are close with seeing your double (whether that be a doppelganger, ghost, evil twin yet unknown, an actor doing a supernaturally good impression, etc) was a very ill omen and often one of death.

Not really sure where I'm going with this, but tl;dr Dracula impersonating Jonathan isn't just a part of his grand plan to isolate and drive him to rely on Dracula, but in fact a long standing trope of Gothic literature likely tied to the inherent horror that your own identity can be taken from you with nefarious results.

I love this book to death, so here's some things I noticed <3

[gabriel-thotterson]

being a years long jekyll & hyde fan means having several different people all separately show you the tweet that says "the opposite of formaldehyde is casualdejekyll"

[fifiophobia]

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde except it’s with Jinx and Powder 💙

Textless version:

[galgali]

jekyll and hyde is not about an evil guy who independently inhabits a good guy's body it's about a guy who consciously and intentionally has an evilsona

[paris-in-space]

The drawings are a bit rough but… Jekyll and Hyde designs >:)

[faithtrickedhope]

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

who you say you aren't

Crappy Jekyll and Hyde doodles cus I'm very very ill.. Will do better later this week rn I should sleep

These are set in an au where Jekyll separated Hyde from himself physically and the guy is now discovering human decency I guess.. idk if that's considered cringe in the fandom I'm just having fun

[lansolot]

also, i really love how jekyll and hyde look on this book cover 😭

Even Henry can get a little shy sometimes..

Hiheeowkejewisnwhs . hi hello hi . hi .

☝️ i have a Prompt. "An unexpected visitor."

Jekyll survives the... Incident, gets the help he needs! But one day. He hears it. Him. and hes like ohhhh shit. but also he secretly missed hyde i mean WHAT who said that 😇

You get a full on sketchy comic

Oh my slutty Edward design, how I missed you

I slightly changed it, I hope you’re okay with it fjfbjfbfjdn (by slightly changed it I mean I partially forgot what I was doing while I was drawing this)

[anachronisticmech]

Jekyll and Hyde sketches I did in school because this hyperfixation is no fucking joke (I’m planning my own adaptation)

[jekyll-hatepage]

I'm actually going to lose it. The cane Hyde used to beat Sir Danvers broke in half, symbolizing not just the brutality behind the attack but also Jekyll's constitution breaking. The cane was a gift from Utterson. UTTERSON GAVE JEKYLL SOME SENSE OF STABILITY. DESPITE THE RISKS, JEKYLL TOOK IT WITH HIM WHILE IN HYDE FORM. AAA. AAAAAAAAA
