Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

Here ye, Here ye I have a DTIYS for you all featuring nothing but the Retro gang!

So here’s what’s up:

-You do not have to draw EVERYBODY (unless you want to, it is a lot of characters after all). The fun part of this DTIYS is you are free to pick whatever window you want to draw.

-You are free to pick whatever window to draw, you are also free the detail their rooms or change their poses, as long as you stick with the roommates from what window you’ve chosen.

- The deadline for this is September 14th. I will draw waist up drawings as prizes for the top three winners. (Will be divvying these up between Insta and Tumblr)

-Don’t forget to @ me so I can find your entries!! If you aren’t comfortable posting your drawing feel free to DM me :)

Well happy drawing! Can’t wait to see what you all come up with!

HOT TAKE ON THE JEKYLL AND HYDE MUSICAL THAT MAKES NO SENSE-

Jekyll and Hyde the musical is amazing to me- it has amazing songs, good singers (Lucy and Jekyll wink wink) and it tells the story nicely from a different POV than the book with their own little adaptations

But I see people hating on the romance part of it- it's not in the book and I get why people would think it's bad, almost like it's forced bc "Oh, a piece of media unrelated to anything like love?? Lets romancise it."

I don't think it's that and here's why lol Him being shown loving Lisa is actually a really smart decision because in the book, he's barely even shown having feelings other than "SCIENCE!!" and "depression… pain… suffering.."

It makes him more humane. In the book, he has no family, no lover. I think it can be a bit distant sometimes, despite me still adoring his character either way. (I mean, I don't have anything against the book. His motives are shown perfectly in it and the book was meant to show him through the suffering he caused himself- or at least that's how I saw it)

But it still really helps visualise his character outside of science and it helps show how much he becomes obsessed over his work

And then Lucy my literal queen-

Hyde obsesses over her in an animalistic manner (literally the way he growls in Alive shows that) and I think this helps show how purely "evil" he is.

He has a "relationship" with her, and is in actual love turned to an unhealthy thing, but he also toys with her (It's a dangerous game shows it (or at least it's how I saw it..)) and I think

It also technically shows him experimenting with his own feelings- Jekyll was never free to be himself and Hyde wasn't created long ago. Him experimenting with his happiness and how he views things, him wanting to kill Lucy shows he wants to see if it's bring him joy as a test to himself in a fucked up way. Another way I see it is that, well, if he experiments with how alive he feels- how happy he is- then he should also experiment on what gives him pain.

Anyways ignore this- it's horrible and makes no sense lol but yeah they're important in my heart guys....

big fan of liars. big fan of characters whose entire existence is a facade. love it when everything's stripped away from them and the lie is the only thing left of their identity. love it when the lines between an act and the truth are blurring. are they even them without the lie? the lie doesn't become the truth per se, but it's now such an intricate part of them it might as well be.

I've only been in the Jekyll and Hyde fandom for a few months, but one thing I've noticed is that most of the people I've seen who dislike/hate the book often say that it's because "It had an amazing idea, but it's executed terribly," or something along those lines. And while I think it's totally okay for someone to hate/dislike any book or media for any reason or no reason at all, I never really understood what they meant by this because I personally think it was executed amazingly. I think it might be because of people just misunderstanding what the idea is, but I could be wrong. I'd love to read why people think the book was poorly executed, maybe I'd add in my thoughts to that as well

I love this <333

Jekyll and Hyde! I strongly believe Hyde is a biter lol. Like I saw the pose ref and this was all I could see

(original by @mellon-soup)

I need to get this out of my chest, so here we go:

If you don't make Henry Jekyll a flawed character when adapting the novella, then you're setting up yourself to failure. Specifically, because you're failing to translate the themes of the novella.

You can't talk about the duality of humanity and the struggle that arises from that if Jekyll doesn't embody those

After seeing The Glass Scientists on my dash for awhile I finally read it and OH MY GOD!! I should have read it sooner. I just adore the story and designs and everything!!

‘Frankenstein was the doctor’ first of all that little bitch was a college dropout so don’t you ‘doctor’ me

"You will not find Dr. jekyll; he is from home," replied Mr. hyde, blowing in the key. And then suddenly but still without looking up, "How did you know me?" He asked.

Surprisingly, I don't draw this fellow nearly enough. Happy Thursday!

hi malevolent fans have you heard about jekyll & hyde musical??

Unfinished ideas for a Malevolent 'Jekyll & Hyde Musical' animatic

If I actually go through with this I want Arthur to look consistent throughout Confrontation, and for John to transform and grow long antlers, fangs, claws

Just finished the strange case of dr jekyll and mr Hyde

What the fuck was that (im obsessed)

Im not ok

I cant explain it, but jekyll and utterson are so fucking in love

A masterpiece
