#but......jekyll wanted this to happen. you guys get that he wanted this to happen right

[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

#like don't get me wrong it's a tragic metaphor for alcoholism/addiction #where jekyll becomes obsessed with abusing a substance that lets him ignore his inhibitions and only chase personal pleasure #but a lot of people seem to think it's like??? hyde and jekyll are totally separate and jekyll can't be blamed for hyde #but......jekyll wanted this to happen. you guys get that he wanted this to happen right #hyde is barely a separate person he's just kind of jekyll's freak drag persona #strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde #jekyll and hyde #henry jekyll #edward hyde

[lucifer-is-a-bag-of-dicks]

I have a really weird hyperfixation on The Mummy, but not the Boris Karloff or the Brendan Fraser versions, those would be completely acceptable movies to enjoy (and I do so enjoy them)

but I cannot stop thinking about The Mummy 2017 starring Tom Cruise and it's a problem

I love bad movies, I love them so much, I own so many b-grade horror flicks, old classic films with terrible acting and awful special effects, I love absolutely shit tier cgi, I love Ed Wood disasters, I love cult classic bad movies, I love really weird niche bad movies

but this one is like, such a special kind of bad movie, I can't really put my finger on exactly why though?? but I am damn well going to try, in this essay I will-

they fucked up from the get go by casting Tom Cruise, like this movie is sometimes deliberately goofy, but a lot of the time it takes itself very seriously, SO seriously, and I cannot physically take Tom Cruise seriously, he turns every single scene he is in into a joke by virtue of his mere presence

but when they have actual jokes, they are so not funny they cycle back around to being really fucking funny

I am watching this movie fucking whiff every god damn beat it tries to hit and it does it so beautifully it's a god damn marvel

Russel Crowe as Jekyll and Hyde??? I actually somehow missed the part where he introduced himself as Jekyll on my first watch, so the Hyde reveal was a true surprise to me and I was very genuinely disappointed on my second watch when I realised it was not supposed to be a surprise, because that was a really fun reveal

and Russel Crowe seemed to be having an absolute fucking whale of a time as Hyde, I loved every moment he was on screen with his stupid cockney accent, I would watch his movie, I know it would be bad, that's why I want it, because there is nothing quite like a bad movie with an actor still giving 110%

and the mummy character herself? she was supposed to be pharaoh and then her dad had a son with someone else and now this baby is jumping all up in her place like, okay baby murder might not be the coolest thing in the world but like, she's got ambition, she's getting shit done, she's hustlin' like go get it girl I'm rooting for you babe

also when she sucked the life out of some dude and turned him into a shrivelled husk my roommate said 'she could do that to me and I'd thank her' so she's got that going for her, like girl's a half rotten corpse wrapped in decaying bandages and she still slays

and then we have the completely ridiculous female rivalry??? like this mummy could kill this woman SO MANY TIMES and just doesn't???? for reasons?????? like she could literally kill her in an instant at any moment but no they gotta girl fight for a bit because Tom Cruise is at stake and why wouldn't two hot women fight over Tom Cruise right?? right????

nevermind the fact that he has been practically nothing but ✨The WooOOOOooorst✨ to her the WHOLE first act of the movie, oh and uh let's not forget the 'duh huh guy bad at sex' jokes that they just could not put down for a good chunk there (but wait! uh he's good at sex actually she's just being mean because he hurt her feewings)

like, this movie hits every fucking branch of the bad trope tree, this movie is playing bad trope bingo, it is collecting bad tropes like pokemon, it has to have them all

also a really bizarre ongoing American Werewolf in London reference?? it was not unwelcome, it was some of the best comedy in the movie (that is an easy bar to jump btw), the actor had some great wry line delivery, I enjoyed it

I think the biggest issue, and the reason I can't stop chewing on this magnum opus of garbage, is that it reminds me of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, in several different ways

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen also happens to be another of my favourite bad movies, but it falls into the particular genre of bad movies, a fucking cool as shit concept, and some really cool as shit visuals, and some very cool as shit characters, but an absolute swing and a miss on the delivery

The Mummy 2017 starring Tom Cruise has That Vibe to me, there is some cool shit here, we know this because the previous version utilised that cool shit very very well, but this one was the only one who made the villain a woman pursuing a man, and not just any man, the ✨worst✨ man, you did not feel very sorry for this guy, honestly watching him go through the constant torment of being stalked by a bodacious supernatural babe who put a sexy little curse kiss on him was fun, he's a sopping wet little meow meow and I wanna see him thrown at a wall, and I get to see that several times, and it is a delight every time

in the previous movie the mummy went after really likeable characters, people who were just generally nice, a roguish scamp with a heart of gold, or just really hot, seriously that cast was beyond smoking what the fu

I did not like Tom Cruise as a character, and to be fair that was the point, he was supposed to have a redemption arc, the story and his sacrifice at the end were supposed to be about him becoming a better person

but he fucking doesn't??? it's like 'oh boo hoo I have made this great sacrifice and now I am a monster and I did it to save my lady love's life even though we had zero chemistry and I was just ✨The Worst✨ to her' and then he fucks off to go and do the exact same shit he was doing at the start of the movie, fucking around in the desert looking for boy adventures

it was a great ending and I loved it because it was so dumb and also he abandoned the woman he brought back to life to go fuck around with his bro who he also brought back to life, I love that for them, go have some boy adventures you madlads you sure didn't earn it but don't let that stop you, just heterosexually ride off into the sunset together it's fine, she is literally better off without you in every way you made the Correct Decision

and then there's these moments, moments that are treated like big moments, and could be really cool moments, but just don't fucking land

there's a part where Tom Cruise starts talking to the mummy in her own language (they got a psychic bond and shit which is it's own cool little thing we'll get back to that) and everyone is watching like 😮 oooh didn't know he could do that wow there really IS magic bond between them oooh, and it's like a Big Deal and Very Cool

but Tom Cruise just sounds like he's speaking gibberish with a mouth full of novocain???? it doesn't sound cool at all??? it sounds really goofy???? I half expected him to start drooling on himself

then there is the ending, leading lady dies, he completes the ritual to invite the god of death into his body (a fucking baller move honestly), he fights it for control as the mummy attempts to sway the beast inside him to her side, but when he sees his beloved laying dead he fights her off, using his newfound powers to defeat her, and then weeps over his lady love begging for her to wake up

and then as he lets the god inside him loose, a terrible monstrous visage takes him over as he bloodcurdlingly screams in her face WAKE UP!!! and the power within him that he doesn't understand and can barely control listens

she wakes, and sees him hiding in the shadows, unable to face her now that he has become something terrifying

at least that's what I think they thought the scene would be like, it was a little more like, some crappy flashback and speed up effects as he becomes the god of death, a really pathetic and uneventful 1 minute of him fighting for control, after which he has a really pathetic and uneventful 1 minute of fighting the mummy, and then as he screams for his lady love to wake up, we get a shot of some absolutely fucking god awful cgi and the most uninspired monster face I've ever seen

I mean, half seen, it was a very dark shot, in fact most of the movie is shot in the dark, a very blatant attempt to obscure the shithouse cgi

except in one scene where it kinda fucking slapped, where the mummy sucks the life out of some guys, and then reanimates their husky corpses as thralls, the way they stand like jerky unstable puppets being dragged to their feet by unseen strings was actually pretty fuckin' dope and the dark scene obscured the details in just the right amount to make their uncannily decrepit silhouettes appear super creepy

this is the only time that trick works, every other time I just want someone to turn on a fucking torch so I can actually see what the hell's going on

okay now let's get back to that psychic bond thing

our main character was chosen not because he was a descendant, or a reincarnation, or just Looked Real Pretty (although I think she did have the hots for him a leeetle bit which is like, girl raise your standards, it's Tom Cruise, he's about as sexually appealing as a wet potato, you can do better), he had absolutely zero in common with the mummy's original choice for this ritual, in fact that guy was not significant to the story at all, I think he was just some dude who was down for some ritual shenanigans 'cause a hot lady asked him (also he was hotter than Tom Cruise so this is a significant downgrade, I feel like if she had the opportunity to shop around a little she might have picked better)

so Tom Cruise wasn't chosen for any reason other than that he's the one who released her, and she sees this as her way of saying thank you, and I love that, it's real sweet, would love if I opened a door for someone and they repaid me by summoning a god of death into my body, that really shows they care you know?

she gives him a little hallucinatory kissy kiss and then manages to follow him everywhere, while also compelling him to follow her without him really knowing it, there is a very cool part where he's trying to drive away from her, but somehow ends up driving in a circle and falling right back into her clutches, that was cool, that had the potential to even be super fucking creepy, she can manipulate him without him even realising, it doesn't matter where he goes or what he does, he will always somehow find his way back to her, that's so good, I love that

and then back to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comparisons

The Mummy 2017 starring Tom Cruise established a concept of an organisation who hunt down, collect, and research supernatural phenomena, with a leader (Jekyll) who also has ulterior motives and is actually not really the good guy, this movie was also supposed to be part of a monster movie cinematic universe, so this really could have become like, the Universal Monster Movie equivalent of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and I would have watched the hell out of that, and I am crushed that this movie bombed so bad and ruined the whole plan

like could you imagine a whole series as bad as this movie? all culminating together as the most god awful Avengers style team up? fuuuck I want to live in that universe so bad

I think my fascination comes from this ungodly mix of real pure potential, those fleeting super fucking cool moments and concepts that, if given to literally any other actor, could have really been something, and the just pure insane failure to make literally anything in this plot successfully land a hit

somehow this movie felt like the completely dead and soulless corpse of a cheap party clown, while the ghost of something incredible flickered in its eyes

Not 100% a harry osborn apologist (yet) but finally, someone else that doesn't like how they did norman in nwh, hell I dislike what they did to otto as well it just smacks of ableism

You will be a Harry apologist you have no choice here /lh

I think the thing that bothers me on top of everything involving ableism and Norman in NWH is just… the characterization issues with Norman that result from the mcu being too lazy to write an actual redemption arc in which this absolute warmongerer misogynistic classist egotistical utilitarian bastard actually changes and instead write him as a woobified liddle baby who didn’t mean to it was the goblin guys also he LOVED his son which makes all the abuse totally okay you guys is that like… the narrative totally collapses when you try to look at the trilogy under the impression that he was totally an okay and chill guy who did nothing wrong, on a narrative level, everything fucking collapses. I do not have the energy to get into this right now but I’ll probably write a miscellaneous list of reasons things stop working once I’ve not just worked eight hours.

On top of that it’s pretty funny that the changes from raimiverse to NWH resemble the actual way that the concept of the Jekyll and Hyde trope changed from the original short story to the modern concept. Like, just like in the raimiverse, Mr. Hyde is originally a mere alter ego Jekyll takes on so he can do bad thing while avoiding the consequences of doing those bad things. It’s just a way to get away with doing bad things, just like how the raimi trilogy establishes over and over that the goblin just does what Norman can’t do without consequences. This is literally explicitly stated but because it doesn’t align with the idea Norman’s just a little guy who did nothing wrong, it’s stated. And in the short story, Jekyll does start referring to Hyde as another person. And it’s not because Hyde is another person. It’s because Jekyll doesn’t want responsibility for his actions. that’s exactly what happens in the movies. We are told over and over that Norman isn’t trustworthy. When Norman tries to frame it as if the goblin did it, not him, he’s manipulating Peter! He’s trying to avoid the consequences! The entire narrative point of their parallels is give a man a mask and see who he really is! Norman is showing you who he really is: he’s just too much of a coward to own up to it!

Tell me about your version of hyde. I want to hear all about the critter, please,,,

Here is a list of things because I don't want to be writing massive paragraphs lawl:

- Transman & bisexual, in an open relationship

- Not very aware of his surroundings and can often find himself bumping into things/people and getting into fights unless he's alert

- When he's alert his eyes go wide like an owl O_O which usually happens when he's startled or caught off guard. When he's on edge like this he can lash out.

- Loves to party, get shitfaced and meet new people he otherwise wouldn't mingle with in his regular life. He uses Hyde as an excuse to keep both of his social circles separate, but will occasionally drop hints in the hopes that Utterson will catch onto him somehow.

- Was genuinely hurt when Utterson didn't recognise him at first.

- Will act out harshly when he's upset or offended. He has an avoidant personality so he's usually the first to lash out at someone close to him if he thinks he's going to lose them anyway. As Jekyll he is usually left to deal with the aftermath of that, but will further isolate himself anyway if things get too much.

- The serum makes him sick. It takes a huge toll on his body, usually the mornings after when he transforms back. He has a lot of chronic pain which is why Hyde still has to use his cane despite being smaller and younger looking.

- Transformation is extremely painful for him but the euphoria he experiences after the fact is one of the things that keeps drawing Jekyll back besides the freedom he also gets from it.

- Very blunt. Kind of an asshole even. Depending on the situation he can usually play things his way if he needs to be polite to get himself out of trouble but if it's not a dire situation he will just tell you where to stick it.

- Type of guy to get up behind you and smash your head into your food just for a laugh tbh

- Danvers was the only guy he ever directly killed and I will die clutching onto this headcanon after being shot with hundreds of arrows

Uhhrm,,, this is all I have right now but thank you for asking about him!!!!! <3 I love him a lot can you tell. He's nothing like the book counterpart of course, but he's also not trying to be a direct adaptation. I'm actively crossing over all of my gothlit interps so a lot of changes have been made (for example; a handful of us have just collectively decided Henry Jekyll was childhood friends with Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol and Wolfe MacFarlane from The Body Snatcher LMAOO). In my Hyde lives AU, Hyde has an encounter with Ebenezer years after they had initially drifted apart before either of them even remember who the other is. It's only until Jekyll gets back in contact with him that he realises they had reunited a lot sooner than he thought and he goes hm. Oops. I probably wasn't the nicest to him. Should probably make amends for that. 🧍 ANYWAY I DID END UP WRITING A PARAGRAPH OOPS???? SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE LASKMDKGM

This was supposed to be a comic but I wrote way too much dialogue and decided to just draw a scene then post what I had planned or something. The thing has a lot of. Well. Dialogue. Anyways it’s under the read more thing don’t look at me it’s not the BEST. I’m a lil rusty and keep in mind it was for my brain.

DONT LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEE

The second the dads had walked past the tree line with Walter, Nicholas had only spared a single nod at Nick’s spectral form before looking towards the other kids around the fire. It’s now or never.

He takes a deep breath.

“I have something to talk to you all about.”

The kids eye him with different expressions, Lark’s being that of annoyance, “are you supposing to lecture us about ANOTHER mundane thing we have done to, undoubtedly, give you ire?”

A sharp snort sounds from Nick floating behind the Oak twin. Nicholas rolls his eyes.

“No. Just, give me a second Lark.”

Terry Jr puts a hand on his shoulder, “it’s cool just take your time dude.”

“Thanks. So. I know I’m not the most well liked in the group-“

“a bit of a stretch there-”

Sparrow cuts him off REAL fast with a, “No no Terrance! He is correct for once, go on NARCOLAS.”

“ANYWAYS, you might have noticed me acting a little bit weird AND I HAVE A PERFECTLY GOOD EXPLANATION. It may seem odd but please keep an open mind, lord knows I have.”

Terry Jr rolls his eyes, “I think that part will be pretty easy with all that’s happened Nicholas. If it’s something that beats three previously dead grandparents who have arisen with super powers, I’ll bite.”

Nicholas temples his hands downwards and sweat builds up on his neck. Despite having travelled with the others for a while and even sleeping in tents with them, in this fucked up version of a camping trip, he had never been that close with any of them, least of all the Oak-Garcia boys. If he would call anyone his friend it would probably be Terry Jr, being more level headed, even more so since he and Ron had actually started talking to each other.

He liked hanging with him, intelligent conversation was investing to him if he were to be honest and Terry was super cool! Nicholas did not want to seem even more outcasted from this group. He didn’t want to be alone, even if he did have a ghost clone by his side, although it makes him look like a lunatic if he were to only talk to someone no one else could see.

And having his dad by his side is obviously nice, he’s a great guy! Just having him be his only friend seemed a bit. Well, sad.

“Right, okay, so. Ever since the end of Glenn’s trial there has been a new member of the group who no one but I can see. He kind of looks like me and his name is Nick, Nick Close.”

Grant’s eyes grow wider, thinking back to what Darryl had said to him as the group narc continues to speak.

“He says that he’s Glenn’s son and that he was with you all the entire time before the trial and that MY dad and I were never here!”

Grant tries to interrupt but Nicholas continues, “which is CRAZY because everyone knows we were here right? We all got transported here at the same time! I just thought he was some weird hallucination manifested from the stress because, like I said, no one else can see him!��

The other boys stare at him. There is a brief moment of silence before Terry Jr speaks, “uhhhhhhh. Okay. What does-“

Sparrow cuts him off once again, “Did the trial teleportation perchance mess with your head? Split your mind in twaine? Like some weird jekyll and hyde situation? Tell me Narcolas, do you feel the urge to commit atrocities now?”

Nick floats by groaning in frustration. He had hoped this explanation would be fast and easy but that seems to have been the wrong assumption. Now he’s been demoted to Nicholas’ evil twin. Well jokes on him. He happily accepts this new role.

“Wait, you said Glenn’s SON right?” The group finally turns to Grant who is staring intensely at Nicholas.

“Because my dad was talking about that to me yesterday. That YOU were Glenn’s son and not, well, your dad’s. It had like, something to do with that trial thing too.”

Nicholas blinks real hard at the reveal as Nick zooms into the middle of the group staring at Grant and yelling in excitement.

“I KNEW IT! THEY KNOW! FUCK YEAH!! DUDE WE GOTTA GO TALK THEM SO THEY CAN HELP GET ME BACK OR SOMETHING!!!”

He floats around feeling triumphant in his theory being confirmed but Terry Jr then asks, “is uh, is the ghost kid here? Ghost clone, you know, uh, Nick?”

Said “ghost clone” freezes in the air and looks towards his counterpart who raises a brow to confirm whether or not he should say yes. He nods and Nicholas looks back at everyone, “yeah. He’s been floating around you all for a while, he got REALLY excited at what Grant said.”

“So this ghostly clone is just another narc who can report back to you? This is MOST disappointing AND boring!” Lark leans an arm onto Sparrow who nods with fever as Nick snaps out a “HEY.”

“Well, he’s actually more like Glenn, you know, punk rock I guess, unruly, annoying, loud-“

“HEY?!”

Nick shoves his hand through Nicholas’ head, making him cartwheel his arms as he almost tips over backwards from the jumpscare, “STOP DOING THAT!”

The group jumps at the sudden outburst, Grant hovering closer to Nicholas in worry, “what’d he do?”

“He’s being QUITE ANNOYING as I said.”

The floating boy blows a raspberry in response. Nicholas squints his eyes, not willing to be looked down upon.

The twins immediately perk up, “so you’re saying, he is a cooler and more RAMBUNCTIOUS version of you? A RULE breaker? Your opposite? Interesting, interesting indeed…”

Nick smiles, “hell yeah I’m interesting!”

He goes to fist bump Lark, stopping short when he remembers his predicament. His hand stills before he crosses his arms and leans back in the air. A soft “fucking damn it” slipping past his lips.

Terry turns back to Grant, intrigue evident on his face, “what else did Mr Wilson say about this whole, swapping thing?”

The group’s attention falls onto the Wilson kid as he begins to get a little nervous from the multiple pairs of eyes, “well, uh, he said like uh, that when Glenn lost the trial Nicholas basically got a new dad? Something about timelines? The Law? Guys I dee kay I had a panic attack trying to put it all together in my head honestly. I just don’t think he or the other dads know about ghost Nick.”

“They don’t?”

“I mean! He didn’t say anything about there being ANOTHER kid! He just said Nicholas was Nick Close.”

Sparrow leans over, head in his hands, “Grant I can feel my OWN panic attack coming on, how, pray tell, would Narcolas be this Nick if there is already a Nick that he’s seeing! My brain is about to COMBUST!! It is also very annoying that you both have some form of Nick in your name you are OH SO confusing!”

Lark softly noogies his twin’s head, concern in his gaze before turning to the rest of the group, “well, we already call him Narcolas so it only appropriate to refer to the duo as Nick and Narc!”

“HA! Sweet.”

“Well, this is just a theory,” Terry starts, gaining the attention of the group, “but maybe he’s like a projection of the life you could have had? If the dads are correct AND this isn’t another Dennis thing, then this Nick could be like. Ugh. Fuck, some kind of like remnant of this changed timeline that can’t go anywhere because you are already in the body he would have?

In philosophy club they talked about what makes a person a person and that if you were to put a deceased person’s working brain into the body of someone with a damaged brain it isn’t the same person? But also it’s technically the same person? Even though it’s now this weird abomination to na-”

“TERRANCE I AM GOING TO VOMIT.”

Sparrow shoves his head into Terry’s torso in an attempt to make him stop talking. Terry Jr immediately apologises and grabs the weird leather water bottles Walter had provided them, making sure the now pale faced boy isn’t actually going to puke. Lark has a hand on his brother’s shoulder and has started chewing his cheek, Grant is on the ground smushing his face into the dirt and letting out a loud groaning noise in distress. Nick grimaces at the display.

“This is…. weird. And also batshit. Maybe we should stop tryna figure out WHY I’m here and more about HOW to get me to be like, not a ghost you know?”

“Yeah, yeah I agree.”

Nicholas turns from Nick and sighs heavily, dragging a hand down his face, “guys if we try to figure this out we’ll explode, let’s leave it to the dads they’ll probably understand it, even though it is the most confusing thing ever.”

“I agree with Narc for once! Quick question, what is a philosophy club and how does it help Nicky-boy?”

Everyone jumps at the now noticeable presence of Paeden.

Shit they forgot he was there.

The little fighter stares up at Nicholas, a mischievous glint in his fiery eyes as he grins and bounces in place, excited energy radiating from him.

“Is he here? Can he see me? Tell him I say hi! NICK IF YOU CAN HEAR ME I’M GONNA RIP YOU INTO THE MATERIAL PLANE WITH MY GRUBBY LIL TIGER HANDS MY GUYYYY!”

He starts howling into the night air and tugging on Nicholas’ arm as if it would connect him to the ghostly boy. Nick snorts at this, a fond smile tearing its way across his face. Leave it to Paeden to lift the mood, “hey shortstack.”

“Uh, he said “hey shortstack.” Nick, I mean.”

“OhOHOHO THAT’S DEFINITELY HIM! FUCK YEAHHHH! NICK BABYBOY WE’RE GONNA GO BUST YOUR DAD OUT OF JAIL AND ALL WILL BE RIGHT AGAIN! I was working on a pair of brass knuckles for you but I guess in this reality Walter says I was making them for Glenn? Which is stupid because they’re for YOUR little baby hands!”

“AW SICKKK! The second I can hold things I’m gonna totally punch the shit out of someone with them!”

“Wh- don’t do that!”

“What’d he say what’d he say?? Whatever it was I agree with it FULL-HEARTEDLY!!”

The rest of the boys watch as Nicholas tries to relay messages to Paeden, who grows more and more lively as they talk about whatever violent acts he will commit with Nick once they are fully reunited. Sparrow slowly uncurls and leans onto Lark, a smile shakily forming, his brother reflecting his expression. Terry Jr sighs and leans back relieved that the atmosphere has been infected by Paeden’s excitement and Grant who has now lifted his head, dirt sticking to his cheek, is chuckling at the scene.

Nick feels something for the first time that day that wasn’t just the small joy of a successful prank or the annoyance of a busted lighter. It’s warm. The kind of warm you get from drinking hot chocolate in winter, the kind from putting your hand in someone’s bigger hand, the kind of warm you feel when you’re in bed being read biopics until you fall asleep.

The warmth of someone you love just being there with you for once.

.

The night air felt a little bit colder.

Generation Loss Breakdown "Episode One: The Spirit of the Cabin"

This is genuinely going to be such a long break down hope yall like it, I won’t be able to write done every single word that they say but I will try and pick up on any lines that stood out to be lore wise, I would still recommend watching the vod because it was hilarious. My ideas of how the lore is incorporated in the comedy aspect of the live stream will be mixed into the breakdown. If I miss anything please comment about it! I want to hear what yall are thinging

Starts off with the worm hole screen we see in one of the past short videos. This was a time filler for everyone to be able to get on the stream. How everything worked was there was a plug in on the stream that let the live chat vote on what happened or what order something happened. It was so much fun to be a part of even if I didn’t get to participate the full time. I'd encourage everyone to watch the next two streams live if possible. It is so worth the experience. 

When the stream started it showed the showfalls media logo, then went to Charlie doing a strange voice for his character. Hes in front of a crystal ball and there is a gif of different monsters on top of the ball. This is the first vote of the stream, chat chose the different parts of a monster. The results were shark, pickles, and lobster. 

Then the screen cuts to the stage, with the tv from the last video turned on and the words “showfall media proudly presents The Spirit of the Cabin” fading on to the screen. The lights come up and it shows a old cabin on the couch is ranboo asleep. To the left is a door with chains all over it, on the back wall is a window, a bookcase, a goat, and a door to the outside. On the right is another door. 

Ran wake up as the TV turners off, the first thing that they do it try and take the mask off. Then he starts to walk to all the doors and try to open them. The one on the back wall is the only one to open, taking him to a forest. With nothing around but the door, which when reentered takes them back to the cabin. 

At this point chat is given a second option to push “haunt” a urn. In it is “someone’s ashes”. Ran goes to investigate and gets freaked out by it and stands up, in the bottom right corner is a cute little guy who says his name is squiggle and he is the “...loveable mascot of Showfall Media :)” Squiggle pops up all throughout the show, so keep an eye out when watching for him. On the back of the mask Ranboo is wearing there is the Showfall logo, which I believe means that Showfall were the ones to kidnap him, force him to do the show, and to put the mask on them. 

The door on the right has three locks on it, ran starts to investigate around the room for the keys. This gives chat another vote to participate in. in the book shelf he finds a green key first, at the window he sees a shadowy figure with horns and a blue key. Under the tv he pulls out a tape of “Dr. jekyll and Mr.Hyde” goes back to the door on the back wall and this time hes at a beach, here he picks up a pocket full of sand. On the wall to the right is a keyrack with a whistle on it, he blows it and bats fall down from the ceiling. This is where he gets the last key which is red. 

But none of the keys are useful because Charlie pulls a kool aid man and bursts down the door in a cloud of smoke. He is covered in a slimy green suit with green horns on his head. 

They have a conversation where Charlie tells ran to leave through the back door, and it ends up with him in “christian hell” which was one of my favorite bits in this whole thing. 

Charlie calls Ran into the room that he broke the door of which is a kitchen, where Charlie tells ran that to get out of here Ranboo needs to do a cooking challenge. Which leads to the “conflict” of this “show” produced by Showfall media, also gives chat ways to interact with the show. 

On the fridge spelled out in letter magnets are the words “behind you” on the freezer part of the fridge. 

During this part there are cutaways to interviews with Ran and Charlie, which raises the question as to how much control that the “characters” have over themself, because there is a change in the demeanor of Ran from when he first woke up and during the interview portions. Also typically the first thing that is said after the interviews is directly related to the interview. Like when Charlie was trying to say Ran was running out of slime (instead of time) during the actual show portion he kept repeating slime. Additionally they keep acknowledging that Ran is wearing a mask.

Side note when Slime was throwing the apples it was so cool how Ran caught the apple in the pan.

After the contest which ran won he gets the ok to leave, but ends up in the slime dimension. Which ended up with him coming back into the cabin. In his search for if anyone was still in the cabin he went into the kitchen where one of Charlie's goons walked through another door on the right side of the kitchen, on his back is a VHS tape which he plays on the TV in the first room of the cabin. 

Every other time he is able to pick up an item there is an inventory bar that pops up on the left side of the screen, each item has a little picture of that thing. EXCEPT for this VHS tape, which is a pixelated blob of red and white. This is one time where I feel like we get to see GL!Ranboo and not the character being presented to the audience by Showfall media. 

On the tape there is a hooded figure telling ran that he has to keep going because “... they are entertained.” and to not resist. To this information we get to see a genuine reaction of fear and panic from this character in the “show” being made. In the corner the mascot’s text starts to glitch through the glitch parts he says “what are you doing?” When Ran first gets the tape the lights on the mask start to blink which leads me to think that when the light is on that is when the Ranboo that Showfall has as a character is who we see and when the light is off is when the Ranboo who actually exists in the universe is who we see.

The full transcription goes like this:

Tv person: “Hello? Oh my god. I got in. listen there is not much time, you don’t realize whats going on yet but you are doing well.”

Ranboo: “What?”

TV: “they are entertained, just keep going ok, and don’t resist. Ill be in touch.”

Ranboo: “what, don't resist what? What is this place where am I? Hello?”

Immediately after there is a break screen saying that snowfall is experiencing technical difficulties and to stay on the page. 

At this point big shout out to ran’s determination to make this whole show happen because he had to be taken to the hospital right after the show because some of the wires in the mask came undone and burned him. He went on like this for a solid hour for the show.

Part two 

Back to the recap and break down. The technical difficulty screen went away and we see ran sleeping on the couch again he wakes up and is back in character for the show. He goes into the room that the goon with the videotape came out of and starts to investigate around the room. On a table there is a doll house, with a lock in the bed of the bedroom which he picks up. 

As he explores the room he finds and rag and picks it up. Under the stair towards the back of the room there is a cage covered with a tarp. In the cage is Sneeg and my new favorite character Frank. Ran tries to get the two out with the keys despite the lock being a combination lock, meaning that the keys were pointless. On the window by the stairs are bolt cutters which Ran uses to free Sneeg and Frank. In this room I haven’t been able to see anything that suggests danger as far as the set goes.

I LOVE the way that the fight was meant to be like chat was controlling the fight.

After a fight where chat gets to control Ranboo as the hero, the two of them start walking through the house, ending up in the room with the chains on the door. Which we see is a young Charlie’s room. Along the back wall there is a bed, chest, and a painting of Charlie. To the left is a “wall”, and on the right is a desk where they find a knife and a couple pairs of scissors in the drawer of the desk. After the pair investigated the room ran had to “go to sleep” as that is what chat voted for him to do. 

While he slept Sneeg had to stand in the same spot for “8 hours” while Charlie and his goons pushed on the “wall” which is a piece of fabric. We get to see the side of the wall that isn't the bed room which has a desk and just piles of random things around the room. After ran wake up Sneeg cuts the wall, here is where the first poll from the beginning of the stream comes into play. Once Sneeg was able to make a large enough hole the monster grabs him and eats/kills him. 

Ran and the monster have the world’s slowest chase scene, where the monster conveniently gives ran enough time to set up a mannequin showing off the merch. 

Ran is able to trap the monster in the cage that Sneeg was in and locking it in. when ran walks through the hole in the wall Ranboo has to have a boss fight with Charlie. Which ended with ran winning and getting a rag covered in Charlie’s slime.

After winning the fight we see his maks start to flash then turn turn off, meaning that he is able to see reality, the person from the VHS tapes are back and this is what they say: “good work Ranboo you made it to Ep two, my name is Hetch. You’ve got to just keep going alright, look i'm trying to find a way to get you out of there, whatever you do dont resist. I hope you’re good at puzzles.” once this video finished playing his mask starts to work again. 

They open the door that would take them to other worlds, and this time it take him to a studio where he is ambushed by two people wearing rat masks. One of which injects him with something.

And this is where the stream ended.

[leoremin]

I just finished watching the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen...and I have...thoughts (along with some bad grammar)

This is an overall negative post, so if you don't like that keep scrolling. If you like this movie, go ahead and scroll on past if you don't want to read this. If you want to debate me, then hell, go ahead, I might be wrong in some areas and I'm fully willing to admit that. I'd love to see anyone's take on this movie.

To say real quick, I haven't finished reading Dracula (over 1/2 through tho), Sherlock Holmes, 4 billion leagues under the sea, and a few others.

Also...spoilers...obv

(last note: I am not against retellings or that stuff, I'm just rating it on MY OPINION of these little guys and all that stuff. This is depending on how much I like them from just a writers sense.)

Tbh I really love the idea of crossovers, I love so much seeing the babies all together (I am working on a crossover myself so...) but I feel like this one was just...mediocre

First up Jekyll!

Number one, assuming this takes place after the novella, that is not how HJ7 works. Jekyll turning back into Hyde is not right then. At that point, Henry would be living on a timer rather than Hyde.

Also, little pet peeve...THE POTION SHOULD BE GREEN!!!! THE POTION'S FINAL COLOUR IS GREEN AND THEY MADE IT CLEAR!!!

Also Jekyll is a doctor, he acts like the fucking wimpy Swiss man from Frankenstein. Jekyll is meant to be a (mentally) strong man who experimented on himself and kept good notes during the whole thing. He is a doctor; he is used to seeing some shit.

Also...why would you make Hyde look like that? One of the few clear physical descriptions in the book is that Hyde is much shorter than Jekyll, but he's...hulkish. I don't like that because it takes the monstrosity away, pinning it all on looks and not on action.

Also why Paris? Why did Hyde run to Paris? There wasn't really a reason for him to do that in a writing sense.

Upside: At least he continues to run on rooftops. All Hydes run on rooftops; it is not optional.

Next on the Chopping block is Dorian.

For a moment there, I really thought they ruined Dorian, but hell yeah! They kinda did it!

I wish they'd had another actor to play him, since the dark hair makes him look a little malicious, which is quite the opposite of what he's supposed to look like. He's supposed to be a child-like and innocent; deceiving.

Also...what the fuck was his ending?? Like he doesn't perish if he looks at the portrait. It literally says earlier that "the last time [he] looked at the picture" which literally contradicts what happens later. He can look at the picture, but chooses not to.

I am glad they decided to not have him redeem himself. That fits a little closer to the book.

For Mina!

Quick thing: I have not yet finished reading Dracula, so I have no clue what's happening there or why she's the vampire (please don't spoil it) so I won't say anything on that (cough cough...should've been Carmilla)

I don't like making women the sole love interest. It feels weird. Literally three people liked her (well only 2, Dorian was pretending) out of five. Make it interesting, make it something someone would ship...there is literally no chemistry between any of them (except Dorian, and we don't even get a proper "oh yeah I hooked up with him" moment. It's only implied. When did that happen???). Also, Mina isn't that kind of person. She's (in book) not looking for romance in that sense, she had a husband, and I'm pretty sure she'd probably stay faithful to him even after death.

Speaking of Chemistry, why tf is she a chemist? Jekyll should've been the chemist. Mina is literally known for being able to write in shorthand, and they could've used that to her advantage. Again, please excuse this if somehow Mina does become a scientist after Dracula, but considering people's views on women in that time period, it's unlikely.

Skinner:

I think that's his name...idk. I have not read the Invisible Man, but why would they kill off Griffin? Like Jekyll dies, but he doesn't have a replacement. I can't say much since I haven't read the book.

I think that's all.

Thank you coming to my Little Leo lecture, and I hope anyone reading agrees, or can hopefully handle this as a mature adult. If you have other thoughts on this movie (whether they agree with mine or not) go ahead and share them, I'd be thrilled.

I may update this as I have things to say, but idk.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR GENLOSS: THE SPIRIT

i’ve recorded my general opinions and thoughts throughout the course of the generation loss episode the spirit. this is not really my analysis or anything, just my reactions to things as they happened. it will probably not make sense to anybody else but it might be funny, so here!

LMAO THE FACT RANBOO IS LIKE AS TALL AS ALL THE DOORS IN THE CABIN LMAO

ok the editing on this is pretty dope actually ngl

ALSO the thing on the back of their mask has the show fall media logo on it i think? like against the back of his head. that’s really really cool and also the mask looks dope

lmao the hauntometer in the corner 

oop bye bye urn

the fact that the show fall media guys name is squiggles, that’s pretty funny 

also genuinely what is up w the mask ranboo is wearing. as soon as it glowed red they were able to actually speak? and it happened as soon as he touched the ashes from the broken urn?? probably unrelated to the urn but strange nonetheless 

also the hauntometer is gone rip

weird painting??? in reference to the fourth wall or are they able to like. somewhat SEE the audience in some capacity? 

i like the interactive interface style it’s for going on, very point and click video game esque which is probably the point lmao

‘knowledge can be painful’ ???? foreshadowing perchance? 

why is he just picking up the ashes from the urn 😂 

THE GUY THE GUY THE GUY I MISS YOU ALREAYD WHERE IS HE ooooo the spirit i’m so excited 

dr jekyll and mr hyde is an interesting choice of book to have been brought up hmmm. very interesting and a neat way to subtly set the tone if it ends up being at all relevant 

ranboo keeps mentioning their head hurting which might just be a callback to the books falling on them but who knows!!

oooooooh that’s a cool setting for the door to take them to

why did he just shove sand in their pocket 😭 

‘pocket sand is useful in almost any situation’ shut your fucking mouth squiggles no one asked. i see past your little tricks you goddamn WEASEL. GET OUT OF MY SIGHT

why is there a musical instrument recorder there. what is this, a middle school

and also bats

i like how he’s just gutting a bat lmao

‘BOO BITCH’ YES YES YES MY BOY IS HERE!!!

‘oh my gosh is that slimecicle’ based, squiggles

slimecicle has been here for like two seconds and he’s already doing mouth to mouth on a bat. on brand 

‘RICHARD NOOOO’ agreed squiggles

it is so funny how ranboo is just absolutely TOWERING over the spirit. this is fantastic lmao

noooo not christian hell XD

i fucking love the voice charlie chose for the spirit, this is great. i am genuinely having a blast right now

it’s so funny that the spirit keeps getting stuck to himself 

the pinky promises lmao

RUMBISH 😂 

‘A NICE CHAIR, I WILL THOROUGHLY SOIL IT’ charlie please

‘how do i feel about this contestant? the same way i feel about everything- WET.’ CHARLIE PLEASE

‘goo goobie!’ you have redeemed yourself, slimecicle. for now

why does slimecicle want ranboo to degrade his fucking sandwich 

spagwebbi :3

the audience interactive element that keeps being brought up is actually pretty cool, can’t wait for it to bring me ceaseless agony later ^u^

the random unscripted person in the cupboard was fantastic

NOT THE MUSHROOM NOOO

i like the way squiggles capitalizes the word Loss, that’s pretty cool

i adore slimecicles little catchphrases he is so silly

that sure was a ritual yep

what the hell is charlie even saying 😂 

why’d he just throw an apple at ranboo 😂 😂 

WHYS HE THROWINF MORE APPLES AT RANBOO 😂 

why are there only five blueberries in that container 

ok jesus christ those are some massive fucking pickles that is absolutely ratchet 

is that medicinal mint jelly???? is regular mint jelly an actual thing????? 

‘*spits out cereal* no way’ mood squiggles

i like the different names slimecicle is coming up for ranboo 

watching charlie trying not to laugh at his own jokes is so funny 

i admire charlie’s dedication to the bit and also his role because my god i would have broken character a lot

also please PLEASE tell me charlie isn’t actually going to eat that slime

oh god

i’m pretty sure none of that actually made it into his mouth but jesus christ

THE FUCKING REMNANTS OF SLIME ON THE FLOOR FROM WHEN CHARLIE GOT STUCK 😂 

the symbol on the back of the mask is the show fall symbol!

also what the hell is up w hacker dude or whatever

‘SEETHE?? COPE??’ charlie is so funny

’oh my gosh stab each otherrrr’ 

all the jello in slimecicles bedroom 😂 

is charlie under the bed??? that’d be literally so funny

also why is there a portrait of charlie

LMAO CHARLIE IS IN THE WALL 

this is so funny 

sneegs fucking side eye 😂

‘you magnum BITCH!!’ charlie is so funny

i like the inane combat system. the meta they’ve developed is so funny lmao

ok genuinely what the hell is charlie even throwing here. what is that. 

‘what’s going on..?’ what IS going on???

why’d the rats dose him up lmao

#dandy talks #liveblogging #generation loss spoilers #genloss sneeg #genloss ranboo #genloss slimecicle #genloss the spirit #i just thought it’d be funny ngl #i’ll prolly do this for every episode and then do an analysis after i finish #genloss #generation loss

[sol-consort]

I don’t think the assassin guy is supposed to be unlikable he’s just evil and does things that specifically hurts Shepard and friends so I don’t like him lol but yeah he does look cool reminded me of Nightwing

Also yeah I really liked Once Upon a Time but as the show went on it became more and more about Disney rather than the actual stories, which the bit of Disney wasn’t bad when it was small doses but then you have characters showing up in their full Disney attire and like no I don’t want that (seriously they made Hades a villain but only took from the Disney Hercules movie instead of actual Greek Mythology it was so ugh) and then Season 7 was just a shit show ugh and don’t get me started on what they did with the Wizard of Oz, Jesus. But some of the stuff they did was really interesting like connecting all these fairy tales together into a family tree and connected story, the Rumpelstiltskin character specifically was so good. I just remembered what they did to Jekyll and Hyde I gotta stop talking before I go ballistic

Yeah Disney have a tendency to do that and monopolise the fairytales media to have it fit their versions.

Still! I'm glad you have something you're very passionate about, it's clear you enjoy it and that's really good. A lot of people underestimate fairytale based media and presume it's childish but I don't think that's right. A great story can be told even though worms on a string and fairytales run deeper than we think.

For Jekyll and Hyde I mostly refer to the musical, it's so dramatic and theatrical, right down my ally.

Maybe you can start writing about once upon a time? Sometimes a fandom seems dead but you'll get the one or two people who want to listen. It's not about who shows up to your performance, it's about getting the chance to make art out of something you love! You can even mix it with dnd.

Term fairytales could be funny in that world since the fairy aka the fae are very alive and living, how would they react to the stories the humans wrote about them.

If not it's totally fine, not all art you consume is supposed to be recycled into new art. Sometimes I can't read fanfics it I happen to be writing that month because I keep comparing it to mine rather than enjoying the work itself.

Jooyeon Ideal Type (Astrology)

okay frist and foremost he is super cute!!!!! if i was younger i'd totally have a crush on him lol...anyway...i'll be looking into jooyeon’s moon and venus signs for this. both seem to be scorpio so this may be on the short side lol like always please take everything with a grain of salt <3

scorpio moon || scorpio venus

ummm... okay so this is with both his moon and venus signs...soo...beacase he is not 21 yet (remember his bday is in late sept.) i'll just say this...his partner may want to get used to the ole horizontal mambo...if you catch my drift *wink...wink...wink...* like they should already want it too >////<

intensity in ten cities <- sorry just being weird feeling his feelings is going to be a big thing. he needs someone who is able (not willing) but ABLE to handle the extreme ups and downs of his emotions

long-term look scorpio's vet people, okay? so if he finds someone he's shown interest in they should have it already implanted in their brain that they want a long-term relationship. this guy right here doesn't want that short fling. he wants a RELATIONSHIP

dr. jekyll and mr. hyde DO. NOT. CHEAT! this is what he needs in a person ^^

"yes your royal highness" his partner should devote themselves to him...okay not really...but physical touch and words of affirmation may be part of his love language. someone who tells him how much they appreciate him. who shows interest in him (but doesn't cross the invisible scorpio line) just someone who loves him unconditionally

in order to get YOU give opening up first and sharing their hurt, pain, joy, love, etc. will help him to open up. i will also advice for his future person not to give up all of their life's story completely. scorpio placements like a little mystery *wink*

secrets are meant to be kept this can include the relationship as a whole but someone who won't shout it out that i'm dating jooyeon would be ideal. if he wants to keep the relationship a secret or doesn't want "everyone" to know, he needs someone who respects this. or w/e he tells them they should keep it to themselves and themselves only

heat miser and snow miser a person like stated above who can handle his extremes is needed. that also means someone who can handle him being super loving and smothering them with affection one second and then making it seem like he hates them the next

(as a scorpio woman idk why we do this but it happens...i'm not saying this is what happens with him but perhaps our love batteries just need some recharging time <3)

stubborn as a mule someone who doesn't pressure him to cave in to what they want. unless there is a valid reason this guy is who he is. he feels what he feels. believes what he believes. challenging him will be like having a staring contest with a brick wall lol

leo's step aside there's a new king in town (jk) he wants to be the leader of the relationship. he needs someone who doesn't challenge that authority ^^

seducer someone who will entice him. who knows their self-worth and can make people crumble at their feet. a sort of femme fatale type...jessica rabbit? <- sorry just watched who framed roger rabbit lol ->

the hot seat a partner who can handle any and all questions that he will fling their way (even if they're weird ass questions or personal questions) scorpio placements dig deep trying to figure people out...he'll more than likely do this with a love interest whether he's aware he's doing it or not lol

the waiting game someone who can wait for him to get to the point of comfortability. scorpio placements take some time to open up to people. a patient person is ideal

passionate

intense

keep him on his toes predictability is SOOOOOOOO boring. so a partner who keeps him at attention/always guessing will be A+

sorry it's so short but with him having scorpio in both his moon and venus i didn't want to repeat myself haha still hope you enjoyed it <3

Oh my god. This is why I have no patience for complaints going waaaaah a couple of people on tunglr write fics where Renfield is too complex or Jonathan is too badass or whatever. Like spare me y'all, far worse shit butchering the characters and the themes is distributed to millions every year through musicals, movies and books

Even the worst fanfic writers... I dunno, some of them are very bad... no, no, jokes aside. Even the worst fanfic writers have nothing on fucking Frank Wildhorn and his crew. Dracula das Musical and Jekyll & Hyde the musical romanticize and fetishize rape, murder, and abuse so damn much and they make MONEY off of it. They do it with silly lil catchy songs that draw in audiences that are willing to overlook the bad because "haha this song is so romantic". It's a song about rape, but okay, hun.

You can depict awful things happening or being said without supporting those things. I'll give even the most self-indulgent fanfic writers a chance because that is what fanfic writing is supposed to be: self-indulgent. Even when it's obvious that a fic writer actually does romanticize bad things... it does overall less harm than actual big adaptations.

By rewriting Dracula into a romantic musical where Dracula is the romantic lead, the writers are posing Dracula as being in the right. There is no nuance. His evil actions are EVIL they cause SO MUCH PAIN, but they smush in a few more weepy ballads about being lonely and say "he's actually a good guy once you get over your girlfriend's untimely death and start huffing lead paint". This is unlike, you know, classical tragedies where the main character gets his comeuppance because of some fatal flaw. Dracula does not die at the end of the Dracula musical because of any of his actions or character flaws. He dies because the writers realized at the last second that Dracula getting the girl is a bad ending.

Now, part of this ask is evidently referring a bit to some... recent drama. I've ranted about it before, so I'll spare specifics. Now, Dracula from the Dracula musical is an awful person, but the narrative functionally treats him as the underdog hero of the story. Look at all these cuckolds trying to keep him down. All he's trying to do is harm women, is that so bad? So, when a story depicts a character doing something wrong, the people who adore that character will probably be fine with it so long as the story does not acknowledge those actions as wrong. Because... if your favourite character... did something bad... then, are you bad?

No. Your poor little meow meow is kind of an asshole, I thought you knew this. That's what made you like them, right? Renfield did bad things. It's only fair to acknowledge that. He attacked Seward-- and yes, I know a great deal of y'all were in support of murdering Seward, but he did it so Seward would be unavailable to watch Lucy. He's indirectly responsible for Lucy's death. He's directly responsible for Mina's assault (though he did try to stop it). He tries to atone and gets killed after going against Dracula, but it doesn't take away the damage his actions caused. There's not enough content surrounding Renfield, to be perfectly honest. Though, I dread the writing that will result from that godawful comp-het disaster of a movie coming out.

I've never seen any fics that make Jonathan "too badass", honestly. Most fanfics severely undercut his capabilities and agency because um *whispers* most fanfics are Dracula/Jonathan. For once I want a Dracula 2020 fic that gives Jonathan a gun and fr kills Dracula. But that aside, that aside, even the stories that do make Jonathan "badass"... they don't really. He's strong and sexy, obviously, but that's just canon. The fact they go more in-depth as to how and why he's strong and sexy doesn't make it unbelievable. And those fics don't strip him of his weaknesses, he retains his PTSD. No fanfic like... ever... has made Jonathan a macho man.

[rye-kin]

Ok so. Musical is a bit of a mess to put it lightly. I am aware of that in the same way that I am aware that Russel Crowe as Javert is a bit of a mess. However I am a known enjoyer of things that are a bit of a mess.

Anyways. Part of where like recordings of the soundtrack fall flat is that the Broadway version that is our most accessible recording and most often preformed version makes Jekyll just. The wettest rat of a man, as in even when he's being a bitch, he's being played up as like. A dishrag. It's worst in Confrontation (the Complete Works version with Anthony Warlow is the one that trended on TikTok for a reason and that is because Jekyll doesn't sound like a sad cat reaction image) but even when he's going "Fuck these guys I'll just do it myself," he sounds like he'd be stopped by a stiff breeze. My humble opinion is that. This man is not in fact *that* level of pathetic. Like he's pathetic, just not. That pathetic. He's a man who lives on the bleeding edge of science and you don't do that if you are that level of made of tissue paper. The Complete Works is tonally a bit more unhinged but totals out to like two hours WITHOUT any of the spoken segments and a couple of the songs that are like! Good from the broadway version just don't hit quite right there! Honestly you could make a playlist slamming together songs from both versions and come away with something much more. Maybe not accurate per say, but probably more entertaining.

That is all that will be remotely coherent. This is the point where I explain a musical that I am sorry in advance if you've seen because Long Tangent. Closing out my proper J&H Musical Thoughts here, you are welcome to just Ignore the rest of this thing.

I am in fact "guy who watches musicals once, goes 'huh, neat,' and then starts grabbing songs for their home-grown blorbos" so I happen to have a collection of musical soundtracks (except Hamilton. I've self imposed a Hamilton ban because that's all there would be otherwise) to pull from just on hand ready to go. And I came to. Well, easily one of the conclusions ever because I was weighing between songs from J&H and Finding Neverland for a playlist. That is that, for Some reason, the latter half of Finding Neverland is like. The tonal opposite of J&H but starts coming close to the duality of man themes in similar ways.

This is mostly weird because Finding Neverland is a musical that is, in theory, based off of REAL MAN playwright James Barrie. The Peter Pan guy. The show is like a Marginally more fantastical Hamilton type of approach where you can tell that this is Not How These Things Happened In Real Life but in a way where it's like "Let's use our imagination together to get through the worst of life, as a Group!!" until RIGHT before you go to intermission where you get "Circus of your Mind" and "Live by the Hook". Circus of your Mind is like okay sure just the rising action higher tensions version of things happening in this dude's imagination, things are bad now, sure. Why not. "Live by the Hook" is directly after that and is where fictional character Captain Hook appears to introduce himself to James Barrie as "the part of you you don't like to talk about at tea parties" and tell him he needs to write a properly scary villain. Hook cameos in the background of like Multiple scenes in the rest of the play as a shadow (limited by Hook sharing an actor with another character for "Oh look the more intense part of him he doesn't like is the same as the guy putting financial pressure on him ohhh we're Cool and Smart" reasons) to be like? Motivating I guess? This is mostly weird as all hell because, again, this is ostensibly about a real guy?? Baffling choice here, up there with the romance plot existing at all (dude was ???? dude was something but not. The cheater who ditched his wife for a dying woman THAT's pretty sure).

The rest of the plays aren't all that similar but if you want same energy opposite directions for like. "Façade Reprise 1," and "Confrontation" then "All of London is Here," for the former and "Live by the Hook," and "Stronger" for the latter are sure out there I guess? If you need songs for a playlist where those are just too negative ig.

If you haven't listened to Finding Neverland it's pretty good if you approach it as not biographical, although I saw it live off Broadway first and I cannot, for the life of me, find the song that took the place of All of London in that version which has been driving me BATTY for like four years now.

That's the rant, I am sorry for inflicting this on you lol, ur design for Hyde is the fun sorta menacing which? Vibes!

Wow… Gawdamn

Though I really see we’re your coming from, this is so real and stands on its own…

#jekyll and hyde #musicals #submissions to ronnie

[you-can-be-what-you-want-to-be]

I love cybersix and would love like an invincible type reboot

However I do not trust anyone with it. The fact everything sucks and there’s oppression is a huge part of the story, it’s supposed to be like the world is falling apart but don’t give up. And I know for a FACT some people would be like Lucas first episode needs to come out as bi and cybersix this specific flavor of trans (I like the ambiguity in her gender personally, that she could be genderfluid or a woman who has to for her safety play at being a man who longs to be seen as her preferred gender) and for her right away to be like I am a cyborg vampire lol it’s eh.

Like it’s supposed to not just her feeling like a non human monster or whatever but specifically have the survivors guilt of “I am the only one of my kind that made it out and that’s only because I pass, the world would hate me if they knew.”

And if it’s “the world is falling apart and oppressive and hates me and wants to get rid of everyone who’s not a certain way” and then that only applies to the superhero part of the story and not the rest? Idk that cheapens it I feel. It’s like if you had the story of Jekyll and hyde and he went “well I like to sleep with guys and also drink and gamble sometimes.” Like. It misses the point of why this story is happening and what it means. Existing secretly in a world that hates you and surviving is badass, and the reality for a lot of people still, or at least something a lot of us can remember. If it’s something that a story about actual literal mind controlling nazis has and is openly talked about in front of people it’s not a scary reality, it’s “these people are fascists and hate minorities. Except gay and trans people for some reason.”

And I’m not saying don’t have it! Cyber six no matter what she is is a flavor of trans. Lucas is clearly attracted to Adrien and Cybersix. But having it be no big thing cheapens what it means to exist as a queer person in a pre gay marriage, which was only legalized 7 years ago so it’s very recent, world. The stories about people who struggle still deserve to be told even if there is a lot less struggling now.

So I'm finally at Chapter 10 of Final Fantasy 13. This is the point of the game where it's about to get really good gameplay-wise, but after the game's introduced its worst element.

On the upside, Final Fantasy 13 is about to get really gamey after spending most of the game being more of a story RPG. I don't even remember if I posted about this in the end, but last night I got to a boss fight where - if you didn't luck out and upgrade the right skill tree for Sazh - you would have to grind enemies to level up.

But because the entire game is so linear, to the point of feeding you the XP you need on a straight path and discouraging backtracking/grinding, the game has completely disincentivised grinding up to this point and the most efficient way of doing so involves saving your game, quitting to the title screen and then reloading your game. It feels more like an exploit than a viable game strategy.

Imagine if every time you wanted to grind in an RPG, you had to clear a cave, walk for a few minutes back to the entrance, leave the cave and then re-enter it. Now imagine that you could reset every enemy instance in the cave, but you had to go to the save point in the middle, save, quit the game and then load your save. That's Final Fantasy 13. It's not even that grinding is a chore - the ability to grind, the hoops you have to jump through to be able to grind in the first place, is the issue there.

So the good news is that instead of drip-feeding you the bare minimum of RPG combat along restrictively narrow hallways between huge cutscenes, the game is about to open up and I'm really looking forward to that.

The downside is the main antagonist. Like just straight-up, the worst part of Final Fantasy 13 is the bad guy.

We're talking the most annoyingly competent, "nothing personal kid"-ass antagonist who'll spend this entire massive boss fight getting their ass kicked before going "actually, getting my ass kicked was ALL PART OF THE PLAN!!!" before fucking off. I won't go into detail about how far that description stretches, keep in mind that I'm not talking about like endgame spoilers or anything, but FF13 is lousy with it and it's just outright bad every time it happens.

And like people could point to the fact that I hate this character and go "you're meant to hate him, he's a villain!" - and don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for every villain to be like Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I actually vehemently disagree that a "good" villain or antagonist has to have the capacity for redemption.

If the issue was that the villain was a one-note villain, that would be one thing - like I get that Norman Osborn from the Raimi Spider-Man movies has this whole Jekyll and Hyde thing going on which DOES lead into a more nuanced character with an element of tragedy, but I fucking LOOOOOVE the Green Goblin in that movie, specifically because he's a bastard.

If they removed the Jekyll and Hyde thing and removed the sense of tragedy from the character, that portrayal would probably be lesser - but I would still love the Green Goblin for his performance and the sheer dickery of it all. The worst, most evil elements of that character fucking rule.

The issue here isn't that the villain is a bad guy and I can't woobify them and put them on a pedestal about how "if only things were different". The issue is that the villain is OP. They're always one step ahead, they win every boss fight even when they lose, they pull stupid anime shit in the cutscenes to be like "oh I'm so much better than you could ever be" even after you torched them. And it's not in like an anime rival sort of way, it's done in the most transparently lazy, impotent, dickish way possible where you lose because the cutscenes and the narrative and the devs decide you lose. They even made the boss fights against them narratively redundant and unsatisfying.

I hate the antagonist of Final Fantasy 13. They're literally the worst aspect of the entire game. I'm critical of the game, but for all its myriad flaws, I don't hate FF13 (at least not as much as other people historically have). For all my criticism, I have a lot to say about the game, and for all my bellyaching I would say that I enjoy FF13 as far as the characters, aesthetic and visuals go. But there's no defending the main antagonist of FF13.

BUT.

On the upside, the game is about to open up in a way that's much more gamey than the preceding ten chapters. Ten chapters of stylish corridors and stilted game mechanics that stymie the actual JRPG gameplay, leading to a part of the game that's much more freely playable. And even if the worst part of the game has come to pass around the same time, I can't wait until I can just sit down and enjoy FF13 on my own terms for once.

"Hyde's Complex" (Reupload)

Summary - Hyde happens to get into his usual hijinks, however this time things don't go too well for him. Abandoned by Jekyll, and drenched in his own blood, he gets back to The Society near Midnight. Rachel and The Creature happen to be in the right place at the right time.

TW for IMPLIED SA.

Hyde stumbled forward. Everything hurt. Quite a lot too. He felt the warm blood plaguing his clothes. He shuttered at the feeling as he struggled forward. He had gotten stabbed and beaten to the point where he couldn’t even climb on the roofs. It was late at night as well, no one was out to help him, and no police to arrest him. The air was freezing against the bloody warmth of his body. His blonde hair was more disheveled than usual, it was matted to his face and wet with blood. He had lost his hat somewhere too. He had his hair pulled a lot by the culprits of his injuries as well. His breath hitched as he struggled through the night. He left behind a light trail of blood as he pulled himself forward. 

Jekyll followed him alongside the wall. He watched as Hyde struggled forward. Hyde noticed his glares. “What?!” He shouted aggressively. Blood slightly sputtered out of his mouth as he shouted. “Ugh–” Jekyll recoiled with disgust at the blood. “It’s nothing.” Jekyll said and evaded his eyes slightly to avoid them meeting with the red liquid. He knew he was going to have to deal with that when they switched back. The smell of copper plagued the air from Hyde’s excessive bleeding. “Really? So you’ve got nothing to say, wise guy?” Hyde called, clearly upset by the events that had taken place. “Edward, just admit this is your own fault. You cannot blame me for your bad choices. You shouldn’t have been out knowing you’re a wanted criminal. Though the others were outlandish with their responses to your own right, you should have stayed back like I suggested.” Jekyll scolded. “You're REAL talkative now, but not when I actually needed your help. You know- when those freaks were chasing me with fire!” Hyde shouted in response. “Really? You ‘needed’ my help?” He put heavy quotations on the word ‘needed.’ “Because if you needed it so badly then you should have just asked!” Jekyll explained. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Hyde questioned aggressively.

“It means that it is your responsibility to make good choices, not mine. And if you so needed my assistance, then it is your responsibility to communicate that to me.” Jekyll explained and crossed his arms at Hyde. “Communication?” Hyde repeated with almost disbelief. “Big talk coming from you, who can’t even bring up that bullshit up with Lanyon!” Hyde said and jabbed his finger towards the shadow. Jekyll gasped, and his anger became far more visible. “You shouldn’t accuse of things you don’t understand.” Jekyll stated. “Blah blah blah!” Hyde shouted and clenched his eyes shut and grabbed his side. His hand was wet with scarlet liquid. But when he opened his eyes once more, Jekyll was gone. Leaving him alone. Hyde went silent as he was alone. He had pushed Jekyll away- and was yet so…angry when he finally left. That was the thing with Hyde, huh? He just didn’t know how to communicate- better yet handle his emotions. 

“Whatever-” He hissed, venom tainting his voice. “Who needs help anyways?” Hyde whispered to himself. “Cowards, that’s who! And I’m- GAH!” He called out as one of his many wounds tore open, blood pouring out. Hyde felt somewhat ashamed for even daring to cry out. “I’m no coward.” He finished his previous statement, though his voice was clearly strained and pained. He continued to struggle forward through the sidewalk. One of his hands pulled away, trembling and shaking, as he grabbed at the wall for support. “Only…a little- further. You’re the S-Spirit of London at Night! You’ve killed armies and slayed kings!” No he hadn’t. He’s never slayed any kings nor had he killed any armies. He just said things to try and make himself more confident. “You can handle a little- ghn– walk!”

Hyde was getting dizzier than he liked to admit. His vision was shaking and it felt like his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier by the second. “Oh…shit…” He muttered the swear beneath his breath as pain ached and wracked throughout his body. However, as he turned the corner, he was greeted with the bright lights of The Society. The light felt blinding to Hyde as he approached. He just barely got to the door as he smacked against it, his heaving body trembling. “H-HEY!” He hated stuttering, but it was out of his control at the moment. “Open the door!” He shouted. He coughed, choking on his own blood. He felt his legs begin to give out beneath him.

-

Rachel and The Creature got along pretty well. Or at least better than others assumed. Turns out The Creature enjoyed baking. And Rachel was one of the greatest bakers on planet earth. So, it was late at night. Rachel and The Creature were cooking for just friendly fun. Rachel was teaching The Creature her secret, home-made recipe for soft-served frosting. “And then you add just a bit of milk to the–” THUMP.

Rachel stopped talking as she was startled with the sudden sound. “Did you hear that?” She questioned. “It’d be hard not too.” The Creature replied. He was stirring a bowl of frosting mix, and he was wearing a pink apron. “Sounded like it came from the door…?” She mumbled and approached the door. “Be careful.” The Creature said offhandedly as he put the bowl onto the counter. “Normally it wouldn’t matter with all this weaponry of mine~” She said and showed off her knife set. “But it is pretty late at night. Better take one of my sharpened ones.” Rachel stated and opened up a cabinet, revealing a moderately sized, sharp knife. She took it into her grasp. “Be back in a minute.” Rachel said and left the kitchen. She approached the door. Thump, thump, thump.

Three softer ‘thumps’ followed behind the previously loud one. Rachel however, wasn’t scared. Only a little off-put by the experience. She pushed the front door open.

“Uhh, hello?” Rachel questioned. She was greeted with the cold winds of the outdoors.

And on the ground was Hyde, in a pool of his own blood. “Hyde?!” Rachel called out in disbelief. She received no reply. Hyde’s exhaustion was getting the better of him. “Are you alright?! What the heck happened?!” She questioned, clearly scared for the boy's health. Once again, no reply was given. She kicked the door open and grabbed him into her arms, trying to get him off the ground. Hyde was far lighter than Jekyll, so it wasn’t too difficult for Rachel to carry him. In fact- it was somewhat akin to carrying a stuffed animal. Rachels arms became wet with the copper, crimson blood of Hydes. Rachel rushed back into the kitchen and tossed Hyde onto the table like that of a surgeon. She needed to stop the bleeding. Hyde was clearly alive, his chest rising and falling, and his eyes completely wide, though unseeing. 

“Creature! Get some bandages!” Rachel called as she located the few primary wounds on the boy, being one on his torso, which was clearly visible from the slash of his clothing, a large marking on his forehead, and a few burns, bruises and cuts that would astride his arms. “Wow. I had suspected that one day the big mouth on that boy would get him into trouble, but not to this degree.” The Creature observed, his brow furrowing at the stench of blood. “Don’t say that! For all we know he could’ve just fallen down the stairs or something!” Rachel retorted, pulling a needle and some thread from her skirt pocket. She stood on a chair and leaned over the table, before stitching the worst of the wounds shut. Or at least starting. Stitching took time. She was quick about it. She had expertise in the area. She also noted very strange burns across the boy. “I didn’t know stairs could burn someone, Rachel.” The Creature said and handed the bandages to Rachel. “You don’t know that! There could have been circumstances.” Rachel replied desperately and began to bandage the wounds that could not be stitched.  

Tears pricked at Rachel's eyes. She remembered when this had happened before. To her brother. She remembered the many times he would come home, beaten and bruised. She thought that if she had done something earlier, he wouldn’t have died. Well now was her chance to do something before it was too late. Tears rolled down her face like raindrops on a window. “What would you know about Master Hyde anyway? You’ve only met him once!” Rachel said as she carefully made sure he wasn’t in too much pain. Stitching without any kind of numbness would be painful. However, Hyde didn’t even flinch. This put forward the idea that he had so much adrenaline pumping from what had happened that he couldn’t even feel it.

Sooner than later, Rachel had done everything she could do. Hyde still hadn’t woken up. Rachel sighed and grabbed the bridge of her nose. “Gah!” She called out and pulled her hand back, realizing it was wet with blood. She sighed again soon after. “You should probably go get yourself cleaned up.” The Creature said. Rachel evaded her eyes. “You…uh…Can’t cook with bloody hands. Unsanitary.” He added, trying to lighten the mood. The Creature would admit that he was without a doubt not the best at humor of any kind. But it seemed to work in this case as Rachel giggled lightly. “You’re right.” She replied with an easy smile. “I’ll take a minute.” Rachel said finally before leaving the room. 

This left The Creature and Hyde alone. Hyde’s blank stare was almost unnerving for The Creature, even though he wasn’t bothered by much. He wouldn’t say he knew Hyde well. The only times they had met was once when he was focused on getting Frankenstien some help, and the other times was when he stabbed someone with an umbrella to save him. That’s how that one fire had started.

The Creature however, stayed more composed than Rachel. Whatever happens, then so be it.

The adrenaline that was pumping through Hyde’s veins at that point began to settle down. And slowly his vision became less blurry. He slowly shook awake. The moment he realized he was still alive he shot up with a gasp. “GAH!” He shouted in pain from the amount of wounds he had. He grabbed his upper arms. “What the hell happened?!” He questioned.

The Creature took off his apron and hung it up. “You should not move so suddenly.” The Creature stated, referring to the amount of wounds he had. Hyde didn’t listen and instead struggled to sit up, but he eventually managed. “Awe sHIT.” He called out. He started breathing heavily. “I told you to not move suddenly.” The Creature stated. Hyde’s breath was heavy. “Where the hell am I?” He questioned, gritting his teeth on ‘hell’, most likely from the pain of even being awake at that moment. “The Society. You brought yourself here on your own, right?” The Creature asked. Hyde paused. “Oh yeah…” He mumbled. He rubbed the side of his head. “Oh god, don’t tell me it was you who was feeling me up while I was passed out!” Hyde called out and noticed the stitching on his higher stomach. 

“Calm yourself. Rachel made sure you didn’t die of blood loss.” The Creature stated, ignoring Hyde’s wording. Hyde sighed in relief. “Ugh! That’s not as bad as you but still gross.” Hyde whined. “Rachel was worried for you.” The Creature said. Hyde turned his head away and evaded his eyes. “I don’t understand why she insists on getting all bothered over what happens to me.” Hyde shouted as he made an attempt at standing, “AUGH– SHIT!” He shouted as his legs collapsed beneath him, a shooting pain stabbed him. He fell forward, though The Creature caught him. “Rachel worries because she cares for you. For reasons unknown to anyone on this planet.” The Creature said in a mildly sarcastic tone. “Why in the name of all that’s unholy would Rachel care for me?!” Hyde shouted. He did not receive a reply as The Creature sat him up on the table. “If you keep letting good advice go in one ear and out the other you’re going to get hurt.” He stated. Hyde grumbled something inaudibly beneath his breath. “Rachel means well. You know this.” The Creature said. Hyde blew a raspberry and waved The Creature off. 

“Yeah yeah, whatever.” Hyde grumbled. The Creature carefully began to sort through the things in the kitchen while Hyde fumbled on the bandages covering his arms.

“Now, what is it that you could have said that got you into so much trouble?” The Creature asked. “None of your business, meathead!” Hyde retorted. The Creature raised an eyebrow. “I believe you owe Rachel at least some kind of explanation. She was worrying sick.” He said. “I don’t owe you guys anything.” Hyde replied. 

“It is your business. If you’re not comfortable with sharing, so be it. But you're an idiot. Rachel saved you tonight. Show her a little gratitude. A ‘thank you’ would be an order.” The Creature said, though Hyde ignored him. “YOU!” Rachel shouted as she suddenly appeared, pointing a knife at Hyde’s chest. “I can’t believe you!” She called. Hyde rolled his eyes. “What the hell did you do this time?!” Hyde crossed his arms. He didn’t say anything as Rachel lowered her knife. “It doesn’t matter.” Hyde sighed. “What? Yes it clearly does! You came here like you had gotten thrown down a flight of stairs, then walked into traffic…Twice!” Rachel explained. “Wow, graphic. You been on that thriller novel kick again?” Hyde asked. “Yes I have actua– Hey don’t change the subject!” Rachel shouted.

“Edward, just be honest and tell them what happened. It’s a different situation when it becomes their problem. However, I am trying to be sensitive. Just be honest and say you’re uncomfortable with talking about it, if it is so.” Jekyll said as he emerged from the shadows. Hyde hated it when he said it like that. It made him sound like a child. Like he was weak. “Ugh! You’re back.” Hyde muttered. “Excuse me?” Rachel called. “Mhm, nothing.” Hyde replied. “Well I want answers! You don’t get to show up here all bloodied and expect us all to pretend that nothing happened!” Rachel shouted.

Hyde sighed. Jekyll gestured for him to be honest- not with Rachel or Creature, but with himself. “Fine.” He hissed. “So I was minding my own business, right?” The story already sounded quite unbelievable. Rachel crossed her arms and made the most disappointed mother look on planet earth.

“And then a creep offered to buy me a drink. And I mean- what was I gonna say, no?” He began. Rachel and The Creature’s expressions definitely…shifted. This didn’t sound like Hyde’s usual evil hijinks. 

“So they buy me a drink, we talk. Honestly, they seemed cool at first, but then they started getting all touchy-feeling, so I told ‘em to screw off about it. They got all pissy about how I was ‘leadin’ them on’ and whatever other junk.” Hyde explained. Oh. So maybe it wasn’t his fault. Not this time. “And the burns?” Rachel asked slowly. “Apparently the freak had recognized me as the guy who burned down the block and decided since I wasn’t gonna do whatever he asked, I was better in prison. Riot started. Everyone's favorite late night London bullshit.” Hyde explained and evaded his eyes. “Mh. Well I don’t believe you should’ve been walking around while being a wanted criminal, but you did not deserve to be beaten over having the most basic boundaries, regardless of how you were acting.” The Creature said. 

“Finally, somethin’ we can agree on.” Hyde replied and glared. “You’re lucky that they’re so understanding, you know.” Jekyll said. Hyde ignored the statement. “However…” Jekyll’s voice trailed off for a moment to try and think of how to be sympathetic with someone like Hyde. “Don’t beat yourself up about it.” He said. Hyde snarked. He was going to make a remark towards Jekyll, something sly, but it was cut off as Rachel pulled him into a mother-like hug. 

“Oh you poor…poor boy! Give me a name and I’ll hunt him down like an animal” Rachel said, her voice darkening, all before snapping back into her regular voice. “If you need time to recover, I can take you to my private home, okay? A-And if you don’t feel safe, let me and Creature know and we’ll protect you, okay?” Rachel continued. Hyde was quiet. “I…Really don’t want to talk about it yet.” He finally admitted, in a small, hushed whisper to Rachel. Rachel silenced herself.

“Of course. Let’s just finish up these cupcakes. Come on, we can use your help if you’re ready.” Rachel offered. Hyde hesitated. “As long as I can use the funny mixer thing.”
