*me at the club* so does anyone wanna discuss queer undertones in classic literature?

[kusnechik]

You know, I'm somewhat of a literary analyst myself

A gothic literature hyperfixation has possessed me so I made this

(This took way longer to make than it reasonably should have)

I'd like to see them have a nice discussion.

me when the scientist character tries to play god and it costs them whatever joy they had in life and possibly even life itself

found out i accidentally hadn't caught up on the comic in roughly four years and so read well over 100 pgs over the course of 3 days and then i made this

“there are several reasons why the horror genre declined – in both quality and popularity – at the tail end of the 1930s & into the 40s. firstly, the narrative conventions became so well established that they appeared formulaic and predictable, especially when the same-old same-old monsters were put into rotation time and time again. then, political strife curtailed a lot of european filmmaking. thirdly, movies with supernatural, violent, science fiction or fantasy elements became a target for literal-minded censors, who were concerned that the masses might believe or, still worse, imitate the horrors they witnessed on the silver screen.”

All three "Fallen Angel" pieces centered around some of my favorite Goth Lit characters.. This was a fun exercise and I like the results I wanted to capture the moment when each of them reached a turning point. With Erik it was the unmasking, when the illusion of him as the angel of music died for good. I liked the idea of his halo being a broken mirror. For the Frankenstein Creature it was the murder of William Frankenstein, symbolized by the bloody locket around his neck. His halo is an arrangement of thunderbolts. Jekyll and Hyde was harder to do. His point of no return is his first transformation and I eventually decided a blood splatter halo and Hyde's coat emulating a wing was the way to go. I was tempted to fully color them all but thought they looked more dramatic in black and white with selective pops of color.

Here's how to spot a Mad Scientist:

Is very smart in a specific field

Probably hasn't slept in the past 4 days

Depressed

Slowly decends into madness/spirals/gets obsessed over something to the point where they destroy their lives over it

Here are other minor signs you might want to look out for (doesn't apply to all Mad Scientist):

Very pathetic. A loser, if you will

Is gay

Wears glasses

Has a best friend who is extremely friendly and also a poet

Graying hair despite their relatively youthful appearance

Can be a little bit silly (as a treat)

Note that not all Mad Scientists are actual scientists. The Mad Scientist can be disguised as something else and may try to trick you; do not be fooled. Look for these traits to identify a real wild Mad Scientist.

Now you are ready to go out into the wild and find your very own Mad Scientists to hyperfixate on for the next month! Hope this helped❤️
