I have made a toyhouse for my Frankenstein AU! 

If anyone is new or not quite as caught up on the basics, you can find neatly organised and easy-to-navigate information here. 

jonathan harker: pathetic little man (affectionate) victor frankenstein: pathetic little man (derogatory)

Ranking gothic lit characters by the things they do instead of sleeping

(Note: This post is a joke, and maintaining a healthy sleep schedule is important)

11. Dracula: Being the worst

10. Robert Walton: Writing down everything Victor Frankenstein says

9. The Phantom (Erik): Stalking people, causing problems, working on an opera (Unrealistic, people are not actually productive when they stay up)

8. Jack Seward: His work (lame cause he’s bad at it), ignoring his emotions (realistic)

7. Utterson: Tracking down Edward Hyde (exciting)

6. Dorian Gray: Staring at his portrait (relatable, but lame), sinning (cool)

5. Griffin: Experiencing the consequences of his actions (relatable)

4. Johnathan Harker: Worrying about the vampires that are trying to eat him (exciting)

3. Adam Frankenstein: Reading Paradise Lost (cool), setting fires (fun!), starving in the woods (tragic)

2. Dr. Jekyll: Violence (fun!), being Edward Hyde (funner!)

1. Victor Frankenstein: Playing god (cool), angsting (realistic)

Alright I’m seein waaaay too many of y'all startin to ship Jacob and that unnamed young sailor boy from the Inevitable/Crow’s Crew. Y'all that’s. that’s a child. a teenager. Sure, perhaps a teen getting ready to enter adulthood, but that’s still a teen. I get that there’s no precise like. set-in-stone ages for any of these characters, but you can tell by not only his face, but by the way Jacob treats him after he catches him from falling that he’s deemed a child/teen, especially in Jacob’s eyes. Jacob literally tells him to hide. The only other person he does this with is Maisie. Jacob has not given this special treatment to anyone else on the crew, the only two people who he’s told this too have been, once again, the unnamed sailor and Maisie. He wouldn’t and didn’t do this to any of the adults on the crew. I’m not even going to argue this point with any of y'all if you try to defend this, that’s a fuckin child. Stop bein weird. If you need to ship Jacob with anybody, please make a fuckin OC. (Also unrelated but semi-related, I don’t see ANY of you gushing over Jacob saving the bagpipe player or shipping them together, which I’m not saying you should or have to, but I think its pretty sus that out of the two people Jacob catches, those of y'all who are doin this shippin junk focus and cling to the skinny young teen boy instead of the fat older guy when it comes to your “potential shipping options” but that’s just my personal opinion <:/)

what on earth is this breed of man called

actually no, i am not done vagueposting about frankenstein, because 'the scientist is the real monster' pisses me off SO MUCH.

not only does it reduce the EXTREMELY complicated, mutually destructive (and even co-dependant by the end) relationship between victor and his creature to something as straightforward and as boring as 'the scientist abandoned the creature so he absolutely deserved everything that the creature has done to him and his family afterwards', but also portrays the creature as exlusively a poor, soft-hearted victim who never did anything wrong in his life, conveniently ignoring the trail of bodies left in his wake.

they both fucked up. they both fucked up so much, but victor's fuck-ups derive from cowardice and the creature's from malice (which derives from pain, yes--but it's the rejection from the d'arcy family that triggers it, not rejection from victor) which makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE

and this fucked-up relationship where each other is all they have left by the end is just SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING than whatever the fuck that dumb take would have you believe about this book
