Mina: Do I give my evil slut ex Dorian Gray another shot?

Nemo: So many freaks running around in my submarine… Tch…

Allan: I will teach this little American cunt how to shoot properly.

Happy Halloween, everyone 🦇🧪✨

Henry Jekyll, you're a devil!

We're convinced that anyone who's anyone has got to have a take on Jekyll and Hyde, especially in lieu 🎃

Our favourite portrayal would be Flemyng's, in a very corny movie That Had Potential!

[gaelic-diary-holder-returns]

If I was writing the League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen I’d change everyone’s characterisation so much

Mina Harker would be a sorrowful widow with a hatred of the supernatural. Since she’s the youngest she’s the most modern and resourceful

Captain Nemo would be an explorer whose love of exploration and justice makes him the team’s resident idealist

Allan Quartermain would be a snarky anti colonialist with a love for African occult practices. His romance with Mina is centred around showing her that the supernatural isn’t inherently evil

Edward Hyde would be a small angry cockney with a horrible temper and a love for vice and villainy. He appears in shadow a lot and uses a gun. Jekyll wouldn’t appear.

Griffin would be an over the top villain prone to long speeches and comic relief in just how over the top he is.

SIR ALLAN QUARTERMAIN from THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN

JUSTIFICATION:

"I have this gut feeling that if she transitioned after becoming immortal and getting into a polycule with Mina and Orlando, he could’ve survived being zapped by Harry Potter’s electric dick. Yes this is a real thing that happens in LXG." - @nellyfrommovies

The storyline and outfits of Mina Harker (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)

We are introduced to Mina as a proper Victorian lady, polite and well dressed, who has been widowed for many years. (Please see the image descriptions for more details about her appearance.)

When the group meets with her former lover Dorian Gray in an attempt to recruit him, Mina learns about his immortality for the first time. This is demonstrated by her surprise when Quartermain corrects her assumption by saying, "Quite the reverse. It was Gray visiting Eton...and I was the boy."

During the fight with the Fantom's men, Mina witnesses his invulnerability when she cries out for him upon seeing him shot, but he is unharmed.

When the fight is over, a survivor threatens Mina with a knife to her neck. Revealing that she is a vampire, she brutally kills him.

Afterwards, she holds up a compact mirror. Vampires often don't have reflections and, since she is angling the mirror away from herself and Sawyer points out that she missed some blood, it is possible that she isn't looking at herself. She's looking at the others to see how they react to something she's kept so tightly under wraps for so long.

She puts her hair back up, wipes away the last spots of blood and politely comments, "excuse me", as if trying to return to the image of propriety, despite what they have just seen.

Although her display shocked the team, their reactions range from impressed (Nemo) to forced nonchalance (Sawyer) and curiosity (Skinner). Dorian claims this discovery is enough to renew his interest in joining the League - or rather, he's pretending it is new information for him since, as far as Mina is aware, he didn't know.

Aboard the Nautilus, Mina's appearance is slightly more relaxed.

When she and Dorian get some time alone, he tells her about the painting that ages instead of him and she asks when he last saw it. Having finally found someone like herself, and not just anybody but her ex she still has feelings for, she wants to know how long he's been alive.

Dorian offers her a nightcap and, when the glass breaks, she licks the blood off her fingers. For once she doesn't need to hide part of herself and this freedom adds to the eroticism of the moment for her.

When they arrive in Venice, Mina has both literally and metaphorically let her hair down, and is wearing a looser outfit.

During the chase, she does not hesitate to use the full range of her powers in front of her teammates, including transforming into a swarm of bats and climbing up the side of a building. Also in this scene, Quartermain declares that "the vampire lady has us covered!" which indicates he has moved past both his assumption that she is nothing but a distraction and his disapproval of her unladylike conduct.

Upon learning Dorian is the mole, Mina is furious and insists on killing him herself. ("Not Gray. He's lived long enough.") It is worth noting that the two of them were the only characters on first-name terms, but now she uses his surname.

Before the team go their separate ways for the final fight, they stack their hands on top of each other. Like Sawyer says in a deleted scene, M may have brought them together under false pretenses, but that was his mistake - bringing them together.

Mina is pre-emptively in her full vampire form. After keeping her powers secret or only using them for self-defense in the heat of the moment, she arrives ready to use them for premeditated murder. And during this fight, she doesn't hold back. She gives in completely to the vampiric nature she spent so long hiding. She uses all of her speed and agility, aiming for fatal strikes, and even tells Dorian, "Do you realize what you've done? What you've let out of me?"

Mina kills the one person who understood her experiences, who she wouldn't have outlived. And as he crumbles, she sees a reflection of what might one day happen to her if all the years she's lived, everything she's done, catches up with her.

At Quartermain's funeral, Mina is once again wearing her hat and veil. But this time, she is surrounded by people who know and accept her true self, even if they can't understand what it's like to be immortal. In response to Nemo saying he's done hiding and they are welcome to see the new century with him, she comments, "We've all been hiding in one form or another," using past tense, and follows him to the Nautilus.

If everyone had to pick one character from all media in order to make their own league of extraordinary gentlemen would you have?

This is who I would have for mine; Bella Swan, Tintin (and his dog Snowy), Larry Talbot, Hatsune Miku, and Howl Pendragon.

Writing a very specific LXG scenario for myself because it won’t leave my brain.

What if, in a world where I absolutely know werewolves exist, everyone on the team but Mina got infected and she was stuck on a submarine with monsters that were once her friends?

I love the image of Mina running through the Nautilus kicking werewolf butt. But also angst.

Also, invisible werewolf. Whatever Jekyll and Hyde would become. It would be an intriguing plot of self indulgent writing.

I’m gonna go write more of it now.
