AITA for not telling my fiancé I know he’s queer? 

I 20s (F) have a 20s (M) fiancé, V, and he’s been talking about this terrible secret he cannot tell me and he keeps almost starting to come out and then backing out. The issue is V and I were raised together by his parents, and my surrogate 40s (M) father and (now deceased) surrogate mother arranged for our marriage back when we were both children. They thought it was the best for us and at the time we were too young to realize the implications and had no reason to reject to the match. When we were teenagers our mother was on her deathbed and she told us again that she wished for us to marry, and of course we both agreed. However, V is also best friends with a 20s (M) guy called H, and they were nearly inseparable as boys and teens. They also went to university together and shared an apartment but V had to come home due to family reasons. Lately he’s been going out all day and coming home at night hours later. He insists that he’s fine and that we all leave him alone and not worry for him, but I think he and H have been sneaking around. He even delayed our wedding day by arranging a trip to go to England alone with H. It’s exhausting for all of us and I think I should just tell V I know and support him and that we can call off the marriage, but I’m not sure that’s the best course of action? I’m completely fine with not marrying him - he always felt more like a brother to me anyway - but I worry it might come off wrong. The worst part is he’s really beating himself up about it. He’s so guilty it’s beginning to take a toll on his health. I don’t care if he has a boyfriend I just want him to be happy.

EDIT: nvm he built an 8ft creature in his dorm

Damn, pretentious traumatised men driven to their downfall by their obsessive pursuit of knowledge and their poet boyfriends who take care of them. Real not fake.

MY DEAR VICTOR

“My dear Victor,” cried he, “what, for God’s sake, is the matter? Do not laugh in that manner. How ill you are! What is the cause of all this?”

“Do not ask me,” cried I, putting my hands before my eyes, for I thought I saw the dreaded spectre glide into the room; “he can tell. Oh, save me! Save me!” I imagined that the monster seized me; I struggled furiously and fell down in a fit.

Poor Clerval! What must have been his feelings? A meeting, which he anticipated with such joy, so strangely turned to bitterness. But I was not the witness of his grief, for I was lifeless and did not recover my senses for a long, long time.

This was the commencement of a nervous fever which confined me for several months. During all that time Henry was my only nurse. I afterwards learned that, knowing my father’s advanced age and unfitness for so long a journey, and how wretched my sickness would make Elizabeth, he spared them this grief by concealing the extent of my disorder. He knew that I could not have a more kind and attentive nurse than himself; and, firm in the hope he felt of my recovery, he did not doubt that, instead of doing harm, he performed the kindest action that he could towards them.

Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus, Mary Shelley (CHAPTER 5)

ah, to be cared for! the unconditional depth and gentleness of it. also have you guys ever listen to the ost for the korean frankenstein musical. sometimes I think about how musical!victor uses his henry's (dupre in the musical, not clerval, but henry all the same) head for his creation. that's also an unconditional something!!

ngl I considered attempting a full bernie wrightson homage for this, but then I thought about how I like having fun and that would totally ruin my hands for the week and settled for drawing a bunch of lines until I got tired of drawing lines lmao

#mary shelley's frankenstein #victor frankenstein #henry clerval #komiks tag #for context. i usually enjoy drawing a lot of line heavy illustrations #i do most cross hatching by hand and just. really love drawing lines #however. bernie wrightson's frankenstein illustrations are operating on a whole different level of Goddamn #i did a master copy of one of them once and couldn't draw for two days after i finished #which is an extremely unrecommended condition to find yourself in which is why i gave up on trying to achieve a similar art aesthetic #i do find myself going back to edward gorey a lot tho

Thinking about how Victor says that Henry would recite his favourite poems to him when he was upset, and that's forcing me to leap to the conclusion that Henry knows all of Victor's favourite poems off by heart so that he can recite them on command whenever it's required of him

just got to chapter 5 in my frankenstein reread oh my god. i fucking love and cackle at the fact that henry is just like “omg victor ^_^ i’m so happy to be here to study with you at university finally after three years apart !!” and victor just stares at him with huge autism eyes shaking and malnourished like “i fucked up. big.”

all victor frankenstein knows how to do is lay on the floor of a boat and cause problems

[image ID: three digital illustrations of victor frankenstein, drawn as a thin young man with pale skin, brown hair, and blue eyes, laying down on his back in similar positions on the floors of three different boats. the first image is sunny and victor is clean-shaven, has short shaggy hair, and is dressed in a suit and tie. he is smiling at clerval, drawn as a thin young man with pale skin, wavy ginger hair, a moustache, and dark eyes, who is gesturing enthusiastically above the two of them as he talks. the second image is dark and victor has stubble, longer hair, is dressed only in a shirt and slacks, and is gazing up in twisted fear, his eyes streaming tears and reflecting teal in the dim. his hands and clothes are stained dark red and in the dark water around him dismembered limbs and chunks of flesh float around his boat. the third image is bright and coldly lit and victor has long hair, a short beard, is wearing a fur-lined coat with clinging snow, and is frost-bitten, gazing up hollowly with his brow drawn tight. several people are gathered around him, most only with boots visible, save for captain walton, drawn as a man with light brown skin and black hair in a blue captain's uniform, who is knelt at victor's side with his hand hovering over victor's shoulder. end ID]
