I'd like to introduce everyone to this horrid thing I created about a year ago but haven't shown many people yet (probably for the best).

This is Baby. AKA The Monster. AKA Sight Tremendous and Abhorred, AKA Vile Insect, AKA A Thing Such As Even Dante Could Not Have Conceived, etc, etc. It's made from bits of scrap fabric I scrounged from various sources and is roughly the size of a human toddler. Its design is based on Mary Shelly's original descriptions of Frankenstein's creature.

But that's not all! Behold!

You can dissect this little abomination to reveal a full set of crocheted, knitted, and scrap fabric organs, all hand-stitched by yours truly!

It has a heart, stomach, lungs, liver, small and large intestine, kidneys, bladder, and, of course, a brain! So it can ponder the horrors of its own existence!

I used this pattern by Less Than Three for the heart. I ended up felting it because I screwed up most of the stitches (I was relatively new to crochet at the time). The result was a bit of a blobby mess, but oh well.

So yeah. This thing lives in my house now (my family hates it). I have yet to reap the full consequences of my hubris.

you know the post that's like "hello my beautiful princess with a disorder" well that's exactly how i feel about rodion romanovich raskolnikov from critically acclaimed 1866 novel crime and punishment by fyodor mikhailovich dostoevsky

LITERATURE SERIES: Edgar Allan Poe

“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?" ― Edgar Allan Poe

"elizabeth is flat—" no she's not you're just ignoring all the details we get of her character!!!! shes a poet and an artist with a mind just as active and imaginative as victor's and she's opinionated and she stood up in front of a corrupt court and spoke out for her best friend even when everyone else already condemned her!! shes a little passive aggressive!!! Shes a foil to victor just like henry and shes not just The Dead Love Interest™!!! just because shes the "love interest" and dies doesn't mean thats ALL she is!!! JUSTICE FOR MY GIRL!!!!!!

I used to think Dostoevsky's deranged side character monologues were unrealistic, but then I started using this website and I get it now. I've seen people lose an argument with themselves mid-sentence, or fall into despair after being set upon suddenly by their own ghosts.

If Victor Frankenstein really is the “villain” then that’s just immensely disappointing tbh

[a-corruption-of-biology]

hey if any of you guys have read The Last Man before, i just wanna know- how do you guys picture the characters?? the environments??

I'm really struggling with envisioning scenes because of the conflict between Shelley's 1820s prose and the fact that it's meant to take place in the 2070s

This totally isn’t Will Wood propaganda guys

[a-corruption-of-biology]

for victor frankenstein it's really just like his own self-hatred and self-disgust drips through every single page of that novel, and for all that emotion he never seems to get that what he is at fault for is profound inaction, again and again and again, and he never even comes close to understanding that he could have avoided it all through compassion. Never even comes close to understanding that, not even when his creation point blank shouts it at him and begs him to understand. How can the self-loathing be that strong and still miss the mark?

[a-corruption-of-biology]

I hate the amount of effort I put into this

[a-corruption-of-biology]

we were all forced to read “classics” in school so reblog and put the one you actually ended up liking a lot and the one you can’t fucking stand in the tags

my fave is Lord of the Flies and I ironically enough want to burn every copy of Fahrenheit 451. trash
