all victor frankenstein knows how to do is lay on the floor of a boat and cause problems

[image ID: three digital illustrations of victor frankenstein, drawn as a thin young man with pale skin, brown hair, and blue eyes, laying down on his back in similar positions on the floors of three different boats. the first image is sunny and victor is clean-shaven, has short shaggy hair, and is dressed in a suit and tie. he is smiling at clerval, drawn as a thin young man with pale skin, wavy ginger hair, a moustache, and dark eyes, who is gesturing enthusiastically above the two of them as he talks. the second image is dark and victor has stubble, longer hair, is dressed only in a shirt and slacks, and is gazing up in twisted fear, his eyes streaming tears and reflecting teal in the dim. his hands and clothes are stained dark red and in the dark water around him dismembered limbs and chunks of flesh float around his boat. the third image is bright and coldly lit and victor has long hair, a short beard, is wearing a fur-lined coat with clinging snow, and is frost-bitten, gazing up hollowly with his brow drawn tight. several people are gathered around him, most only with boots visible, save for captain walton, drawn as a man with light brown skin and black hair in a blue captain's uniform, who is knelt at victor's side with his hand hovering over victor's shoulder. end ID]

[thatmoththoth]

Alright so we have captain Walton writing a letter to his sister about vicotor who’s telling Walton about his father who was telling victor(atleast I’m assuming this guys is victor) about his mother, in this book written by Mary Shelly.

What an onion of a story.

So, Frankenstein; but Victor came back as a zombie.

This AU takes place after the original novel, and Hyde decided it was a smart idea to bring Victor back from the dead. Oh, and to make matters worse, there is a curse in the Frankenstein family bloodline where you cannot die once you become undead. Just like the izombie show, Victor has to eat FRESH brains to retain his humanity, but get visions of how the victim died.

This AU is a crossover between Frankenstein, and the Netflix show IZombie.

I think Robert Walton and the Creature should kiss

Victor Frankenstein/the Creature/Robert Walton

[cweercrippledcrafter]

I've only just begun Frankenstein but I swear I wouldn't be surprised if Captain Walton proposed to Victor on the spot on any given page

[lunarsluttymoon]

Losing my shit reading Frankenstein bc literally everyone keeps going “this guy is so pathetic and sopping wet” about him. Robert holding a near-death Frankenstein up by his collar “look at this sad cat I found I love him”

[frankingsteinery]

Round 1 Part 6 Poll 7

Propaganda

i love knuckles. he used to be a selfish and notorious pirate until he crashed into a rock trying to track down a powerful gem and was abandoned by his crew. after that he became a coward, got a new crew, and spent all day throwing parties and doing absolutely nothing productive until getting involved in a multidimensional conflict to get all the pieces of something called the paradox prism, and now he's possibly going back to his old ways.

HIS SHIP IS BOUND FOR THE NORTH POLE BUT THEY GET STUCK IN THE ICE!! Walton sees the Creature and then later sees Victor and nurses him back to health. He writes letters to his sister about his travels and Victor's ENTIRE LIFE STORY.

[kissmefriendly]

Ya know I’ve always wondered what the crew of Walton’s ship were doing during this part of the book. Robert is supposed to be the CAPTAIN of an ARCTIC EXPEDITION and he’s just like “Actually I gotta go personally check on the strange man sleeping in my quarters, he’s about to drop his life story on me and I cannot miss it”

Like what is the crew doing?? They’re trapped in the ice! What about rations?? A plan for winter?? Are the officers still having meetings without Walton? Is the unnamed first mate in charge???

The framing narrative of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Robert Walton's search for the north magnegic pole, is set sometime in the latter half of the 18th century. The pole, which was eventually found in 1831, shifts over time, but until the 1990s it was isolated within the Canadian archipelago

Walton gave up the expedition and turned back before they found the pole, so it's safe to assume his ship was east of Victoria Island, probably near Boothia Peninsula (the red dots marked 1831 and 1904).

This is the exact location the Terror and Erebus would later become stranded during the lost Franklin expedition of 1845.

The exact year of Walton's story is never specified, but Mary Shelley wrote it in 1816 and probably intended it to be set in the recent past, so lets say 1780s or 1790s, 50 or 60 years before Franklin's crew became trapped in the ice. Frankenstein's monster is inhumanly large and inhumanly strong, so there's no reason to believe he wouldn't also have an inhumanly long lifespan (and hey, he was just created, maybe his internal clock still says he's a baby, so 50 or 60 years isn't even that old).

What I'm saying is, instead of self-immolating in Victor's funeral pyre, maybe Adam continued to wander the Arctic, and eventually settled in an Inuit village. He can fish, he can hunt, he can ward off polar bears, he would be a welcome addition to the isolated community, and when the Terror happens, let's just say Captain Crozier is surprised to meet someone out on the ice who can speak English, especially a hulking 8-foot mass of a man.
