The problem with Victor Frankenstein isn't that he's not as smart as he thinks he is. The problem with Victor Frankenstein is that he's exactly as smart as he thinks he is in one very specific area, and he just expects that to automatically translate to every other area of his life and is taken completely by surprise every single time it doesn't.

he shouldnt be at the club he should be in a dark old basement laboratory saying shit like “fascinating” or “by jove” and conducting experiments on himself

customized my blog theme and it definitely wasn't as a distraction from important work

It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils btw. If you even care.

[creaturecuddles]

I forgot this blog existed... for three years... oops

[creaturecuddles]

the most unrealistic thing about Frankenstein is that Victor literally just stopped going to his classes and then dropped out of college fully and spent like a year doing nothing but resting from stress and everyone around him was sympathetic like “oh you poor thing don’t worry we’re here for you!” instead of saying “Victor what the fuck you failure”

I showed a friend the Frankenstein musical last night! :D they loved it and their favorite songs were “Dear Victor” and “The Music of Love” and they adored Elizabeth’s voice <3

[creaturecuddles]

Bro! Your stories are flipping amazing! Please tell me there is more on the way!

thank you so much! I love to hear that my stories are good and that people are enjoying them! :D

by ‘more on the way’ do you mean updates for my current WIP “The Science of Love” or more Frankenstein fics as a whole? because the answer to both is yes! I have plenty planned for TSOL, and lots of fun ideas for future stories! I just need survive my finals first, lmao

this was a lovely ask to receive, thank you very much for the compliment! and I’m glad that you like my writing! :)

I am once again thinking about The Proposition as performed by Justin Williams as Victor Frankenstein and Jon West as the Creature in The Main Stage Inc’s production of Frankenstein: A New Musical

[creaturecuddles]

what if the Creature got adopted into a colony of feral cats? like maybe he scared off some attacking dogs or asshole people messing with them so they decide he’s part of the family now. a very large kitten who they love

and when he eventually moves on (gotta find Victor and force him to make him a wife, you know) the cat he bonded with the most - a black one with yellow eyes who purrs at him constantly but will fuck up anyone else who tries to get near it - follows along and becomes his faithful companion

I love this idea because 1. the Creature deserves an animal friend and 2. could you imagine the Creature sending in his spooky black cat to terrorize Victor every so often while he works on his creating his bride? hilarious

[creaturecuddles]

I absolutely adore your characterizations of them and your description of their relationship as it develops! Victor and the Creature would be such an intense force of science chaos when they team up to do Experiments, and their combined melodrama... I can hardly even imagine the amount of Gloomy Energy they bring to the house when they get in a mood

Henry deals with so much in this au lmao

Victor, as we all know, was barely in his twenties when he started his nonsense. and I like to headcanon the Creature as having both the appearance and harvested brain of someone in their thirties. so please, imagine with me the Creature taunting Victor by telling him to “respect his elders” and Victor being so enraged he can’t even form words

[creaturecuddles]

the Creature would definitely stick a post-it note on it that just says “no <3” (or one that changes it to say “Honor Thy Creation”)

Henry is so sick of seeing that stupid thing shift from room to room every time Victor and the Creature argue, but when he tried to steal and hide it Victor just bought another one. poor guy can’t win in this house

[creaturecuddles]

the Creature really just. saw a random child out in the woods and decided to abscond with him and make him be his friend. that was an idea he had and he thought it was a good one

[creaturecuddles]

I need a tag for nsfw stuff... should it be #wankenstein or #crankenstein

[creaturecuddles]

@distraughtlesbian “These Hands” is SUCH a great song! the self-loathing, the despair, the frantic pace, the repetition of the word ‘hands’ paired with so many different negative descriptors... I love it

Frankenstein sideblog, oh yeah baby

Fact: the Creature deserves all the love in the world

Fact: Victor needs to get his shit together

Fact: the musical fucking SLAPS

[creaturecuddles]

@distraughtlesbian yes! but I’ve added a twist to the iconic vine, and that twist is called Fainting :)

Seeing life upon his creation’s face had been horrific. It was no longer his beautiful project, features perfect and unmoving; it had become animated with life that made his very being recoil in disgust at the innate wrongness of it. It had made him sick to see, and when the Creature’s lips had twitched upwards, a clumsy parody of a smile, Victor’s consciousness had fled in terror.

Now several hours later he lay on the cold floor, the sunrise splashing reds and golds across every surface in his chamber of folly, and he felt sickened once again, for he realized the monster he had given breath was still here, laying beside him.

—

The premise is this: Victor faints after bringing the Creature to life and realizing things didn’t quite end up how he intended. This means he doesn’t burn down the laboratory, and everything turns out different and much less tragic. There are also a lot more cuddles, quasi-parenting, tenderness, and lessons learned on both sides.

@distraughtlesbian Victor: okay this guy I’m making is gonna be beautiful, the most physically perfect man in existence. so he’ll need fangs of course

I wonder if the Creature’s teeth are the same ones that were in his donor head already or if Victor swapped some of them out or replaced them entirely; did our favorite not-yet-a-doctor try his hand at dentistry too? what’s the state of the Creature’s mouth?

I’m honestly wondering but also. do you think Victor gave the Creature fangs
