While I continue to procrastinate on SMS I think y’all need to see the copy of Frankenstein I just bought because I’m OBSESSED with it

First of all, gorgeous cover art.

Then you get to the actual PAGES, and

LOOK AT THAT

IT’S SO GORGEOUS

THIS LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE FROM PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

THE CREATURE LOOKS SO FUCKING COOL RAAAAHHHH

Absolutely LOVE this casting, in Guillermo del Toro we always trust but I love how Andrew Garfield could really play both Frankenstein and the monster with his physique and acting skills

Round 1 Part 6 Poll 7

Propaganda

i love knuckles. he used to be a selfish and notorious pirate until he crashed into a rock trying to track down a powerful gem and was abandoned by his crew. after that he became a coward, got a new crew, and spent all day throwing parties and doing absolutely nothing productive until getting involved in a multidimensional conflict to get all the pieces of something called the paradox prism, and now he's possibly going back to his old ways.

HIS SHIP IS BOUND FOR THE NORTH POLE BUT THEY GET STUCK IN THE ICE!! Walton sees the Creature and then later sees Victor and nurses him back to health. He writes letters to his sister about his travels and Victor's ENTIRE LIFE STORY.

I'm currently getting into Frankenstein right now! I just read the beginning letters and Chapter 1-2, and my thoughts so far:

Gay gay homosexual gay

Either Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley are built different, or Victorian writers just have a tendency to make their character really repressed and gay

Victor Frankenstein's family exudes so much rich white people energy my god

So far, we're getting Frankenstein's backstory, and I'm incredibly amused by just how utterly normal it is. You'd never guess that the guy who created a living creature and is now the face of mad scientists in modern pop cultute would have such a normal—even described as happy—childhood.

Maybe it's a good thing I read Dracula first 'cause NOW I CAN UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE VICTORIAN WRITING HEHEHEHEHHEHEHE (I know Mary Shelley's book being published in 1818 technically makes her book part of the Georgian Era, and people classify her book more towards the Romanticism Era, but I'm reading the 1831 edition. Let me have this </3)

Overall, I'm really enjoying this. I've heard some really interesting discussions centered around Frankenstein, and I can't wait to be able to participate in those. The writing is also just very good, would recommend!

Clara Holmes

Dr. Watson

Jonathan Harker

Adam Shelley

The Time Traveller

Finished Mary Shelly's Frankenstein recently so here's some of my fave quotes

"Enter the house of mourning, my friend, but with kindness and affection for those who love you, and not with hatred for your enemies"

"But his affection for me at length overcame his dislike of learning…"

"He can no longer be subject to pity; we must reserve that for his miserable survivors"

"I wept like a child. 'dear mountains! My own beautiful lake! How do you welcome your wanderer? Your summits are clear; the sky and lake are blue and placid. Is this to prognosticate peace, or to mock at my unhappiness?"

"Thus I might proclaim myself a madman"

"Sleep fled from my eyes; I wandered like an evil spirit, for I had committed deeds of mischief beyond description, horrible, and more, much more (I persuaded myself) was yet behind. Yet my heart overflowed with kindness, and the love of virtue"

"This advice, although good, was totally inapplicable to my case…"

"Of what a strange nature is knowledge! It clings to the mind, when it has once seized on it, like a lichen on the rock."

"You are my creator, but I am your master- obey!"

"Villain! Before you sign my death-warrant, be sure that you are yourself safe'

In Frankenstein the word that gets used a whole lot is “wretch”. In Dracula it’s “voluptuous”. That really makes you think, doesn’t it? /j

Chronorun Reports notes:

Van Helsing, Jekyll, and Mrs. Frankenstein (Victor's mom) are siblings with Abraham and Henry being twins and Caroline being a few years younger (specific ages will have to wait until my brain decides that doing math is worth it)

(they are all a mix of Dutch, British, and Swiss btw)

(yes this means that Victor is Van Helsing's and Jekyll's nephew)

Van Helsing formed the HOSC to essentially bring light to all of the scientific discoveries that are happening (Jekyll's serum, any supernatural being he encountered, the time machine, Victor's creation, Griffin's invisibility, and more) but not without the house members' consent

Now let's get into the plot- a good amount of people in this universe have powers (almost all of the members of both societies have powers)

They are as follows:

Van Helsing- gains an ability of whatever type of entity he conquers (if he were to slay a vampire he would only get one of the abilities shared within all vamps. Ie teleportation) as well as natural immunity to most (not all) supernatural attacks and anomalistic mastery (or that could just be from his job)

Jekyll- technically he speaks to Hyde through telepathy as well as having telekinesis

Hyde- telepathy like Jekyll (because of course) and the ability to teleport objects and people away from and to him

(Jekyll and Hyde are forced to work together because they are not able to do what the other can as well as the other)

Victor- weather control (I just wanted to reference the movies, I think he would use it to help him animate the creation)

Griffin- now I know you might think that I'm going to make his invisibility his power, but that's not the case. He can however talk to animals, he just doesn't want anyone to know.

Time traveler- let's get the obvious out of the way, he can see any point in time (past present, and future), and it proved very helpful (but overwhelming and contributes to his time blindness)

Sherlock- like the time traveler, he could be obvious (giving him some kind of hyper-intelligence) so I'll give him tactical analysis and the hyper intertellince (or he could not have the ability and just be that smart, I haven't decided yet)

Watson- since he's a physician and royal army surgeon (according to Wikipedia), giving him a healing ability (more so healing others) would be a fair but obvious move. However, I want his medical knowledge to be utilized (meaning he would use actual medical practices instead of relying on powers) so the proper techniques would still have to be used (more so internal and really bad external wounds, broken bones, and deep/wide cuts being examples)

Gwen- now she could be a little difficult (considering the fact she is someone else's oc and I'm a bit scared to ask because it might look like I'm stealing their idea) so I'll move on for now. (she could have enhanced reflexes as it would be really helpful)

Switching gears to more general ideas (I'm looking for a reason to segway into the investigative committee's powers)

Griffin and the time traveler don't use their names for reasons they'd rather not admit (it has something to do with their experiments)

Van Helsing and Jekyll may make it look like they hate Victor (because he's an irresponsible, spoiled, college dropout who can be a bit of a nervous wreck at the most inconvenient times possible) but they're still trying to help him get over everything (and to take some god damn responsibly for once in his life)

Van Helsing and Watson are transcribing past journals, audio logs (the series takes place in the 21st century), and more as a part of the whole "bring light to all of the scientific discoveries that are happening" thing the HOSC does

The HOSC is very queer (not really with each other but you know)

Jekyll is a trans, ace, gay man (maybe Hyde too, he hasn't really thought about it, both he/him though)

Victor is pansexual and nonbinary (he/they)

Griffin is a bi demi-boy (also he/they)

Sherlock seems to be more interested in his work than in relationships (aroace cis man)

Watson is more open to the idea than Sherlock is though, at some point being stated to have said "I think everyone looks nice, does that mean im attracted to everyone? No not everyone, but certain people attract me more than others." (doesn't put a label on gender either but uses he/it/they)

Time Traveler is a theatre kid so he is probably the most open with his sexuality and gender (gay nonbinary dude using they/it)

Again, I have no idea for Gwen as she is not my character (well none of them are, I might have one at some point but thats not what I'm here for) so I either ask the creator or leave her as unlabelled (which might not be a bad idea actually) although the picrew shows her as aroace

Van Helsing might be the only straight one (I say might be because he doesn't know, still uses he/him though)

Now for the Missing person's investigative committee: they are in charge of finding out the who, where, what, why, when, and how of missing person cases

Utterson and Poole started it after Jekyll faked his death, which happened about a week after Van Helsing got back from killing Dracula (so it was like 7 years ago based on Quincey jr's age in the main story)

I'm now imagining a very stressed Van Helsing hearing about his brother supposedly killing himself because his latest experiment went tits up (excuse me while I try not to cry)

Their powers are:

Utterson- since he's a lawyer, giving him something like Holmes' hyper-intelligence (if it's his ability at all) is kinda obvious so some kind of adaptive ability could be fun (body language analysis could be useful)

Poole- super speed to help him with all of his duties (and in case of emergencies)

Mycroft- I kinda want his to be out of the park but still useful in a way, fuck it he can turn off others' abilities either by touching them or snapping his fingers

Walton- some kind of internal GPS for his traveling

Kemp- I tried reading the invisible man wiki to see what kind of doctor he is (he did go to a medical school so that could help) but couldn't really find anything so im going in sorta blind. I'm just going to make him a shapeshifter

Now that that is out of the way, few more things until pride shit

If someone pisses off Mycroft, their powers are just gone for the day (which could be devasting if they piss him off during a very important mission)

Walton being the youngest (younger than Hyde but older than Victor) means he is often the fastest and most agile of the group (until Poole uses his super speed obviously)

He's basically the group's son (at least to most of them, Mycroft might have some warming up to do)

Now, pride:

Utterson- Jekyll's husband (cis bi man, uses he/him)

Poole- unlabeled sexuality (aro he/it user)

Mycroft- like Van Helsing, he might be the only straight one (uses he/him)

Walton- trans, demisexual man (he/them/it)

Kemp- omnisexual nonbinary (they/them)

@mrhyde-mrseek what do you think?

I just finished reading Frankenstein in my english class, and it has me thinking about Adam's (the Creatures) origins in the MH universe.

I know we have the Gen 1 move where we meet Victor, but what if his origins were closer to the book. It could also work in Gen 3.

I think what would make the most sense is that Victor finished the female and brought her to life, and then Adam left him alone after that.

It is an AU of the book, but I think in the MH universe, it makes Adam a Monster and not just a monster and adds some interesting family drama for Franky.

Franky could find out about what their dad did before he settled down with their mom. The emotional turmoil of finding out that the stories they've heard about their father and what he did are true could be a very interesting character arc for Frankie.

Also, add in the fact that Elizabeth would live in this au, and we have the potential of Victor and her to have kids and them meeting Frankie.

The family drama and children of Victor and Elizabeth make this something that just tickles my brain.
