Bentham as the Hatter >:)

[trainwrecksys]

Quiet days sorting things around the office, only way Bentham can get Nim's attention when he's focused

[trainwrecksys]

Bentham with Caul tbh

[trainwrecksys]

most of the time Bentham is on screen he does have very snake oils salesman, robber baron coded, man who tries to sell you some rusty doohickey shitty flea market, “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain” kinda guy vibe, so it is extremely funny that he actually wasn’t lying about any of that stuff at all, all that stuff about a machine with magic doors to anywhere at any time that he invented? 100% true. Those wax statues? Absolute lie those are a bunch of paralyzed alive people he’s holding hostage for not even god knows why, he just likes lookin at em I guess. Truly one of the characters of all time

He's such a guy istb. (I swear to bird) I'm actually so happy you mention that because I never even noticed that of course, he is ACTUALLY a magic guy and he probably does have all the little doohickeys and magic tinctures that any sleazy salesman could ever dream of housed in his museum.

Also parallels with the wizard of Oz work here, and I think it was intentional, because he's so similar, the wizard was built up to be some crazy cool magic guy and he's just some old dude who takes advantage of people, and that's kind of how he's presented in the chapters in LoS where he's introduced. We first get scared by the "wax figures" yes but then he talks of MAGIC PORTAL DOORS that take you to ANY PLACE OR TIME YOU WANT and PROVES it before they even activate them with the Siberia room. He's also presented as entirely sympathetic even in the things he did do wrong. It's only slightly later on that we learn about Abe and the figures and the everything else.. and it's like ohhhhh. Riiiight. He's just like all the other Victorian men promising great things😭😭

Also about the wax figures, I find it so funny that they were introduced because it technically goes against his character to do that, since he always has a reason for things or it's usually just good intentions going bad, like you could choose to excuse the soul stealing because he genuinely wanted to help but maybe figured out that it wouldnt work and replaced the blood? And the tunguska blast is very much deserved and he had no idea what it would do. But the wax figures? 0 justification. I feel Riggs just wanted to put in a cool idea and add to his "slimeball"-ness, but in a way that is never even attempted to be explained and Bentham never does or can. There are theories, but no concrete fact. He just... Went a bit far with the museum idea I guess.

But it's fine he's quirky he's silly let's have some tea and forget about all of that LETS HAVE SOME TEA SHALL WE HAVE SOME TEA

Another reason I put Jekyll and Bentham together is the way their personalities work together. Both are inmediately jovial when welcoming people and engaging in social situations (one more than the other because Jekyll is much more socially involved) but with another side to them that is more sensitive and serious, and I think that's a cute thing to work with.

Jekyll as well being slightly more socially adept and jolly around others could pair well with Bentham if ever he needs someone to drag him around at some sort of social event or give him a little pep talk or just be a person to have a good chat with who's also enthusiastic about what he wants to talk about and has a lot to talk about himself

Or he could be a shoulder to fall asleep on :)

I also imagined that with Jekyll apparently being "well-built" that he could also be a bit of a PT sometimes hehe

Been months since I posted the (iconic honestly) Wizard of Oz mphfpc art and I honestly thought I was insane being the only one thinking Bentham could potentially have parallels to The Wizard but No! Its totally tangible! All thanks to Noor

Caul as Elphaba is still. Unsupported. But that part was just because it's fun

[trainwrecksys]

Btw I saw an edit with my art recently that got me thinking about that fic I started back in like October about the very unlikely events of a reality where for whatever reason Millard went ahead with his threat to Bentham in the end of LoS.

I did a lot of thinking about that fic and I've gone back to it, I realise I only really abandoned it because of one passage that didn't work very well, but if I remove it, it'd pretty solid in my eyes.

.... So idk. Might put it up somewhere? Corporis et Animi certainly isn't seeing the light of day for a while since I can't seem to stop proofreading it and it's on Wattpad? Why did I choose Wattpad. Anyway

The fic I've nicknamed "the bad beginning fic" (because it's got a bad event that causes better events than LoS actually had and drastically changes the events) is literally sitting in my Tumblr drafts rn

[trainwrecksys]

Only proper Frev art I've made in the last week but im proud of it :) it goes quite well with how do you sleep by john lennon imo

Art itself below the cut

[trainwrecksys]

Some Frev (exclusively Saint-Just and Robespierre, with ONE Desmoulins)

Oh btw I'm still very into MPHFPC, whenever I post other things just know it's ruling my life behind the scenes I'm just not creative enough to make a lot of new art LMAO
