Never did I once think that I'd relate to Frankenstein's monster of all creatures but. I too am hopelessly lonely. I too find my words and intentions taken out of context and used against me. I too am spurned by my creators. I too terrify people. I too am tired of this cruel life.

I feel like a mess of boby parts that are not my own, a collection of mismatched fragments that constantly wage war against each other.

Perhaps I'm cursed to live as a corpse that longs for a taste of life. I was built to be a puppet, a pretty doll, and here I am, rebelling against the puppeteer.

Papa Frankenstein: "Hey, you're depressed. Are you sure that you still want to fuck your cousin? Maybe you met someone else you might fancy? Perhaps, being raised beside her made you see her as a sister rather than a lover?"

Victor, who has way more important shit to deal with rn: "Nah, nah, nah, I totally do want to marry my cousin, I've been groomed to my entire life. Um. I'm just... gonna go dig up some lady graves. It's a character-building experience."

Papa Frankenstein:

Elizabeth: "Dad, you must know Victor's gay---"

Papa Frankenstein: "I know, I just wish he'd talk to me."

Shoutout to Victor Frankenstein for being the first gay guy only

Victor Frankenstein is a boy failure

did you get your name from season 5 episode 14 of breaking bad or was that just a happy coincidence

the number of media that shared the Ozymandias reference i discovered after borrowing the name....

short answer: wasn't planned :] happy coincidence

long answer:

if i want to be lame or not be considered cringe, i can go back to the poem by percy b shelley and yea that's it, the source. but that's not all...

as of now people have cited the breaking bad episode a lot. or the DC character. both of those i watched after choosing my name (circa september 2021).

i watched the Watchmen movie circa march 2022 and breaking bad during spring 2023. so they are not the source material

the source material for my name is, in fact,

SCP-245

or well. the game. so that's scp-245-1 but it's scp-245 that quotes the poem

i was enamoured by his voice, the way he(/it?) quoted it and how relevant it was to his story arc. i was a big fan of rpg horror games and creepypasta/scp at the time (like . 2015?) and that's how i discovered the poem. it was my roman empire in some way

i also like how it applies to my view of the world and how i interract with it. as long as i've remembered, i've wished not to be remembered when i die. Nothing Beside Remains. i accomplish nothing meaningful in my life and prolly create irreparable damage unbeknownst to me. Round That Colossal Wreck. i am nothing but a small fraction of what has happened and what's yet to happen in the universe. Boundless And Bare, The Low And Level Sands Stretch Far Away.

though, i do think i'm superior in some way, and an egotistical, Whose Frown, / And Wrinkled Lip, And Sneer of Cold Command keep people away. i am the King of Kings and Ye Mighty should rightfully Despair when looking Upon My Works, as i produce art, love and things beyond your comprehension

the way things matter now and how they'll never matter as much ever again. how things are fleeting. how it is all meaningless to be so vain, but how it also is a reason to be vain. how we are beautifully alive and doomed from the start. i am everything. yet i am nothing.

also it is believed that it is Ozymandias, also known as Rameses II, is the Pharaoh who caused the Plagues in the Bible, during the Moise n Exodus episode. :] being raised a catholic, yknow i had to sprinkle it with mocking irony, although it is more like a tribute.

Mary Shelley herself actually came to me from beyond the grave and told me to give everyone this message:

STOP CALLING VICTOR A MOTHER

[binghe-malewife-goals]

Something something Frankenstein being an allegory for motherhood, anyways, Victor really do be suffering from that postpartum psychosis huh

[pasdetrois]

Pet peeve about the Internet *Pretending* to have read Frankenstein

I am so tired of everyone and their dog on the Internet saying "Actually the monster was The Doctor." or "Frankenstein was the Doctor. Not The Creature." And no one notices what's wrong with this. First, Victor Frankenstein (in the novel) was no doctor. He was a student of metaphysics. He never graduates. He's not a medical doctor at all. He found the secret of life while reading the works of Agrippa and Paracelsus. A self-proclaimed sorcerer and alchemist. Now what makes Victor a Monster? He had f--king postpartum depression. No. Seriously. THAT is what makes everyone call him a monster. The term Postpartum didn't exist yet but that's what is described. He's excited about creating life. He even chose various parts for their beauty. The Creature has luxurious black hair, and perfect teeth (a detail left out of most film adaptations). But the eyes are yellow and watery. There's an effect that we'd today call Uncanny Valley. Victor does not find him hideous until he comes to life. Then Victor flees. It takes him months to recover from his "Brain fever." He has a sort of nervous break down. When he finally comes home it's to discover his youngest brother has been killed and The Creature has framed an innocent maid for the murder (and is hanged for it). YES, The Creature is sympathetic. Abandoned by Victor and rejected by the world but both make horrible mistakes. Victor is no innocent but he isn't Satan either. Someone on Tumblr even blocked me for trying to point out that Mary Shelley wanted us to sympathize with BOTH Victor and his Creature. It's not black and white. The person claimed I clearly never read the book and then blocked me after saying "Another person who didn't read the book trying to school me." Not only did I read the book but Frankenstein is in my top four favorite novels. To me, seeing the Internet constantly parrot the "The Doctor was the monster" is like seeing the rather sexist "Beauty and the Beast is Stockholm Syndrome" (which actually means "I don't trust Belle and will ignore her agency as a character.") Or the not-so-subtle transphobia attached to the Hot take of "Disney's The Little Mermaid gave up who she was for a man." which requires ignoring that Ariel wanted to be human before she ever saw Eric. I even got into an argument with someone about that once who insisted that she only sang "Part of your world" after she saw Eric. No. That was the reprise. The first time she sang it was before she ever saw Eric. Also I'm sick of people "correcting" those that call The Creature Frankenstein. The Creature views Victor as his father. Usually a son takes his father's surname. On a lighter note we have the people who PRETEND to have read Dracula, sharing the old man image of him with the handlebar mustache as being "This is what Dracula actually looked like in the book." I often point out to them that he de-ages in the novel and is later described with dark hair with grey in it. And a pointed beard. One person, who didn't want to admit they were wrong, tried to claim he was disguising himself so no one would reocognize him. That the beard was false and the hair was a wig. Umm... Why? The only person who knew what he looked like was Jonathan Harker. And at the time Dracula thought Harker was still in his castle. I know this is a long post but to sum it up... Please, stop repeating memes about classic stories as if they are fact and try reading them for yourself. It may not quite be what you've been lead to believe.

i find it really funny that trope ideas about mad scientists always seem to reference frankenstein bc victor frankenstein only reads as "mad" (manic) to me at certain points in the novel and he spends the rest of it depressed so i think the mad scientist poster boy should actually be jeffrey combs herbert west bc no one else is doing it like him
