in love w ur Hyde design omfg ✋😩also tysm for putting those sources at the end of ur post!! I appreciate the encouragement to learn more ab Victorian culture (v excited to see ur Jekyll design 👀 as well) have a good day!

Greetings friend anon, Thank you so much for the compliment! ⋆˚𖥔 I'm really happy you liked my Hyde design and I’m extra glad the historical sources were appreciated too. I’m always inspired by history when I draw, so including that context is something I find very important and really enjoy. (and plan to keep doing). Even though my work is fictional, I like to root it pretty closely in our historical canon, so I’m hoping to explore more of the late 19th century political climate, legal systems, occultism and major events in future posts. Lots of weird and fascinating stuff to dig into! For those who don’t always have access to journals like The Journal of Victorian Culture (some articles are open-access though, worth checking!) I recommend looking into authors like Judith Flanders. She writes excellent, well-researched books on Victorian life and culture that are super readable and informative. As for our special boy superstar Henry Jekyll he’ll be making an appearance soon 👀 I’ve got a full design ready for him, along with er...haha a bit of a backlog for a bunch of other gothlit characters. I hope you’ll enjoy my take on him when he shows up. Take care, and thanks again for the lovely message!

꒦꒷ BLOODSPORTS ꒷꒦

Like prize-fighting (pugilism), were contests that saw one on one combat and the spilling of blood. While fighting was perceived as traditionally English and masculine, pugilism and other bloodsports were considered a blight against the pending civilisation of the world as pushed by Victorian 'moral entreperneurs', such as renowned philanthropist and London socialite Dr Henry Jekyll. Prize-fighting enabled rioting, social-disorder, betting and other debaucherous activities. By this time, 1885, the sport has mostly lost its edge, being sanitised into gloved boxing, for a more respectable audience in more respectable times. However even if stereotypically considered enjoyment of the so called 'plebian classes', enjoyment of prize-fighting and other bloodsports cut across class lines more often than not in the shadowed underbelly of London's foggy districts, where demand remained high. Particularly for those with a taste for blood.

New to London's underground prize-fighting scene is a Mr Edward Hyde, a Mysterious young scottish brute who doesn't mince his words for anyone. Despite not possesing an impressive stature, Hyde punches hard and precise, creating rumours of his naming every bone that he breaks whilst even leaving most Goliaths struggling against him. Hyde's reputation leaves him with an intersting nickname both inspired by his vibrant eyes and his alleged victory against eight different opponents in his first fight as well as his tendency to leave his bling on his fists; Blue Rings

He likes to see and be seen, basking in the infamy that comes with his 'hobby' and ocupation as an underground bare-knuckle boxer. Whispers and reputation often percede him in certain crowds and he's getting used to not needing to fear predatory roadmen whenever he prowls the alleys and streets to his favourite Soho haunts, wether it's Dick's or Chez Jules.

⋆.˚ ⚡︎ .⭒˚ Hello stranger! ˚⭒. ⚡︎ ˚.⋆

Hello stranger, welcome to my blog, let me introduce myself. I'm that red-rolling-pin-lookin'-thing in the corner there...

⋆.˚ ⚡︎ .⭒˚ Le BLOG ˚⭒. ⚡︎ ˚.⋆

⚡︎ TRANSPARENCY NOTICE ⚡︎

This blog is rated M, for 'maybe mature content'. (Imagery around NSFW, Drugs, Body horror, etc you get it, can appear.) I do not reccomend minors interacting with my work, all posts will be flagged accordingly, however, I am a creative adult who creates for adults. (I realise this sounds funny considering my avatar but i'm just being honest lmao)

I enjoy gritty Victorian realism / Gothic genre and exploration and commentary on the period. Naturally, with a touch of the fantastical but this still means exploring very visceral topics that might not be everyone's 'cup of tea', exactly. So, if you prefer not to be confronted with 'Victorian values' or discussions / imagery around such emotionally sensitive topics, then maybe skip this one. (No hard feelings!)

Content might be slow to come out, I'm not exactly known for quantity....unfortunately ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I like to think I'm approachable and if you have any questions about anything mentioned here, or even if you want to tell me a fun fact about idk, crustaceans? Well, don't hesitate to put in an ask or DM. See ya around.

It actually makes me aggressive how almost all of these can be linked to some actual line/scene from the book.

Hello yes, I am part of the niche blond Victor Frankenstein superiority movement, which may very well be just me at this point.

He looks a bit stoic here which is totally how he wants you to see him, he’s dressed nicely but I think that’s probably Elisabeth’s doing lol, I think he insisted on the tie though, to her annoyance.

Also no that’s not a rash on his face but I’m also not gonna tell you what it is ha ha…yeah, it’s lichtenberg scarring..l- ok

I made this some time ago when I was trying out some new things. I cleaned it up a bit so why not post.

Oh my god its her, its them, gorgeous besties from different universes <3

“She shone like the sun, that woman, who still bore the colors of mourning. Despite everything, hope still blazed in her eyes. And for a moment, Luriana felt the flames begin to catch in her soul.

If Elizabeth could withstand such loss and stand firm on the other side, what storms could she brave in turn?”

Elizabeth is the brain-child of the lovely @translucent-ego and you should go give her some love! This piece is inspired by an AU we created a few months ago. I’m experimenting with a more ‘painterly’ style for this piece so let me know what you think!

Remembering that time I editted the Veggie Tales’ Jekyll and Hyde melancholy main character song, against the I Need to Know instrumental. Because Gourd Jekyll and Henry Jekyll have similar energies.

So last week I finished Master and Apprentice, er, this is the plot right?
