The Changeling of Westminster: Intro to Dr.Jekyll/Mr.Hyde

Age: 58

Species: Human

Pronouns: He/Him

Description: Jekyll is tall, wears glasses, with dark thinning sideburns, and wide hands. Hyde is short, with long dark brown hair, acid green eyes, bulldog faced, snub nosed, with an underbite. Has long teeth, course, hairy hands, and spindly sharp nailed fingers. Everyone finds him deeply off putting and hates him on sight.

Backstory:

Dr.Henry Jekyll was from a well to do, good Christian upper class medical family. At Oxford he met Ian Griffin, including Hastie Lanyon, Gabriel Utterson, Abraham Van Helsing, Moreau, and Robur. Away from his restrictive home, Jekyll became known for practicing dark magic, heavy drinking, fighting, and beginning a relationship with Ian. On an expedition to the arctic Jekyll and Ian met Victor Frankenstein’s homunculus. Afterwards Jekyll went on the straight an narrow, cutting out his "bad associations", and becoming a respected member of the community. After years of no contact Ian blackmailed him into helping him hide the changeling, Henry, left in place of his nephew. At twelve Henry became Jekyll's apprentice. By then Jekyll had begun cracking under the pressure society and projected his issues onto Henry. Around this time he created the serum that turned him into his alter ego, Edward Hyde. Hyde has no inhibitions, is aggressive, violent, emotionally volatile, opinionated, brutally honest, promiscuous, openly gay, and practices outlawed magic. Jekyll uses Hyde as an excuse to not take responsibility for his actions. As the plot unfolds he turns into Hyde to stalk Henry's activity across London.

On the sliding scale of The Glass Scientists to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, my version of Jekyll and Hyde is somewhere in the middle. He's not a toothless Tumblr sexyman, but he doesn't go as far the Alan Moore version. His repressed traits are a mix of genuinely awful and only evil by Victorian standards. If anything he's more comparable to Clay Puppington from Moral Orel, a repressed, hypocritical and kind of pathetic patriarch who psychologically fucks up the wide eyed hero who idolizes him.

hi! if you don't mind the question, what are the Constructicons's individual opinions on Devastator as a person? you mentioned some of Hook and Scrapper's perspectives on the matter, anyone else have any strong opinions on their "seventh?"

To preface, they don't really meet Devastator where he is; they all understand him more as this concept than anything else.

(I wanted to answer this in character because it's fun :-P)

(To Hook, Devastator is just a complex software.)

(Long Haul doesn't want to think about it right now (it's been 7 million years))

(To Scrapper, Devastator is akin to a son.)

(To Bonecrusher, Devastator is an instrument.)

(To Scavenger, Devastator is the shadow.)

(To Mixmaster, Devastator is an experiment.)

None of them are right, but none of them are wrong. It's weird.

And before you ask, no, their opinions on Devastator don't affect the combining process (unless it's too intense of a discomfort). The success of combination depends on unit cohesion, so as long as Scavenger thinks Bonecrusher is awe-inspiring, Hook keeps respecting Mixmaster's prowess in chemistry, and Long Haul keeps bottoming for Scrapper... They'll be fine.

(Ignore the typos <3)

So many people's sharing thoughts about the fact that The Substance was inspired by The Picture Of Dorian Grey but you cannot tell me that the movie about the main character that wants to change the thing they hate the most about themselves and does so by using a weird unsafe substance which leads them to obtain two physical appearances, giving them the occasion to finally live their dream life but forgetting themselves when they do so and accidentally, by being too in character when in their other skin, giving them a new name, a whole different personality, that they start forgetting they are only one person and creating two different people who both crave complete control of their body, destroying the original "them"'s life by doing so (which will lead to their inevitable doom because all they wanted was freedom) is not inspired by the hit novel The Strange Case Of Dr.Jekyll And Mr.Hyde and that everyone on Tumblr is just normal about this (I sure as hell am not)

[an-uncanny]

imagine the muppets put on the strange case of dr.jekyll and mr.hyde. kermit plays dr.jekyll- but hyde is NOT constantine. Hyde is a human version of kermit (ie like walter and jim parsons in The Muppets). Imagine transformation sung by kermit and as it goes on he is suffering and then bam film transition- its some human guy. people see Human Kermit/Hyde on the street and are like "wow whats up with that guy" or are freaked out by him. imagine. itd be art.

what books have you read 👀

aha! yapper 101 unlocked.

soo, it goes long back ofc, but i began with Geronimo Stilton, god i was OBSESSED, little me and my cousin, wanted to open a library dedicated to Geronimo Stilton, so we'd hoard books like crazy, but then i moved on to ruskin bond for a while, if i had to pick my favourite out of his collection, it'd be "A gathering of friends" it's a compilation of little stories and is totally worth the read, then came enid blyton, Roald Dahl, nancy drew and every teen book, then i read the inescapable, The fault in our stars, and Looking for Alaska, then came the book that legitimately changed the literature world for me, "The Book Thief" by Marcus Zusak, from then i transitioned to a lot more mature? themed books, i read The Secret History, Frankenstein and Dead Poets Society, i've also ventured into non fiction, with some self help and autobiographies, but nah, i like fiction more, i also read the og Dracula (stole it from my dad) also stole "The strange case of Dr.Jekyl and Mr.Hyde", for a little while i had this phase of subconscious mind and read a book about it don't remember the name thought and ofc The Alchemist, though i have a whole literal pinterest board dedicated to the books i want to read, so hopefully when i'm done with jee, i'd get back to reading, i REALLY want to read The Picture of Dorian Grey and If We Were Villains.

sorry yapped too much 😭

So I spent the day out with my father dragging him to two movies in a row. Which leads me into this-

It will always be funny to me when English speaking specifically comic fans that are into Milgram discuss how mental health is portrayed in Milgram. Especially how it's lacking because the understanding of mental health in the east is lacking something that is reflected when it comes to media.

Like buddy the person writing this actually studied psychology this is actually pretty decent when it comes to that and written with care.

Not even touching on how that's just kind of a self-report. Saying that to me is pretty much announcing that some may not read many things from other areas or not wander out of their comfort zone much. Even when it comes to the thing they're saying is better. Because western comics is a big frontier with many canons.

Well, why are you bringing up this old thing now- Honestly because the funniest thing just happened and I think some people may enjoy pointing and laughing. Deservedly so at western comics and the media depiction of mental health. That is so far and leagues above everywhere else.

Meaning it would never touch on any similar points to Milgram ever. Because it's so much more advanced. So last week a new Harley Quinn graphic novel came out and the new Joker movie released-

Guess what these two things talk about~

This week alone I've read,

A new Young Adult graphic novel inspired by The Strange Case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde that reimagines Harley Quinn's origin story and struggles with dissociative tendencies which to my knowledge (I'm not a walking dc canon encyclopedia) has only been implied and not expressly stated as due to drug experimentation. It has all the symptoms of the thing that shall not be named in western comics but since it's a western graphic novel just like with Elle(s) it can't be stated it's that.

So, it's due to a research experiment and treated as just a side-effect the same drug experimentation group that gives Pamela Isley (poison Ivy) plant powers by the way. They both were given different drugs I need to state that. It's not that absurd and it is a fun read.

Just to then go- Ya know; I've heard the new Joker movie is trash without really getting anything more than that. Mostly it's been why did they use Harley in this way. They should've just made that character Punchline. Which let's be real we all know why name recognition who the fuck knows Punchline for real- for real?

Any of you seen this woman the jokers new partner in crime?

Anybody know who this is outside of the fact she hates Harley Quinn. Because the only time I've seen her online is in contrast to Harley. Like I'm sorry yeah she has Punchlines story in this I can see that with as little as I know about this woman. But like it's not about Harley (Lee as she goes by briefly in this) it's about Joker (who isn't even anything much like the canonical joker already). So it'd be more accurate to say it's about Arthur Fleck and iteration of the joker.

But like it would have been great if this was Punchline would have been a amazing way to introduce her to the live action dc universe but they didn't do that. Because they wanted to make money of the name recognition well not entirely they also wanted to flip the script and highlight another reason this relationship would have never worked. Like the only thing that movie showed me was that Harley and the Joker should never be together.

This isn't portrayed as relationship goals it's abusive, unhealthy, and to an extent something done as both of their last resorts for separate reasons and founded on lies. It just puts Harley into the manipulator role which I can understand people taking offense to given the history of Harley's character.

Yet before I saw it. I was just curious. I was curious about what made this pretty quickly despised. So, I wanted to go see it for myself. Just to find out during the first five minutes it's about Arthur Fleck (Joker) having dissociative identity disorder. This is stated at first ambiguously through the Warner Brother's cartoon at the start of the film and then blatantly for the court case he's having.

It also kind of blatantly showcases that Harley and the Joker would never be good together quite blatantly. Like under any circumstances actually for the reasons stated above. But also funnily enough she likes Joker and not Arthur as soon as he's like not the guy she dumps him. This is a concern that's also brought up in The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley with Pamela and Harleen's relationship.

It's handled different there but an issue that is still covered none the less. Now when it comes to DC deviations from canon are nothing new and the first Joker movie already did that greatly.

I did find it interesting that they did highlight how easily manipulated individuals with mental health issues of any kind can be but particularly the way it highlighted this with DiD was just brutal. It's a depressing film it is not a good time.

I would not recommend going to see it. Unless you plan to talk shit in an empty theater than actually yeah its kind of fun.

The only movie I can compare it to is Primal Fear because it is a lot like that except it also has musical numbers. The amount of musical numbers in that film outlandish. Still they had Lady Gaga and said got damn it we're going to use her.

It's a crime movie that is literally what it was labeled as at the theater. It's slow the movie itself is over two hours and the first hour is set up. Still it also has a reputation of being so bad that I shit you not the theater I went to see it in with my father was completely empty. Like a group bought five seats in front of me they were sold on the thing I bought tickets on.

They did not show up. That bitch was empty during the fucking movie I got a text from an unknown number asking if I was okay like they could fucking sense I was watching the new Joker movie-

I was having the time of my fucking life though. Do you know how often I pray for theaters to be fucking empty. Private viewing for just me. I could just text while watching it. The shit said during that later half court case wild-

It was a fucking experience my dad the entire time,

"What is this shit how can they allow this in a theater."

Me damn karmas a bitch after all that good talk I saw about well it can't be like media here where depictions of mental health are always decent. It's like let's all just ignore these several things that do the same stuff actually.

Am I saying any of these things are bad to depict. No, it's important to have media that discuss these topics and I will always believe more is needed not less. No one individual can decide what is good representation or not. However, I think implying that certain cultures are more inept than others when it comes to depicting mental health in media is unwarranted and unfair.

The examples I listed here showcase that we are all working with the same information, the same stereotypes, and western media is in no way ahead of any other places when it comes to depictions of these things. Yes, it's better than it was when I was a child but that's only marginally so. It says a lot that the only time that this topic can be mentioned by name in western media and not danced around is within Joker.

In a story that was never going to have a happy end. The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley has a good ending, Elle(s) has a good ending. When it's explained away as anything other than what it is when it's not said aloud then characters can be happy. The fact that Milgram stated what it was is already better than most recent media that only alludes to it and then quickly shuffles about and goes but it's not that we swear.

That's how I genuinely feel about it. These were good I enjoyed them but like ya know wait a bit see what happens. Ya, know~

The Changeling of Westminster: Intro to Bruno Griffin

Age: 14

Species: Human

Pronouns: He/Him

Appearance: Due to his albinism, Bruno has blue eyes, white hair, and a pale pink complexion. Wears glasses to correct his low vision.

Backstory:

Bruno was born in 1872 to the humans Marcus and Catherine after they had lost their first child to the Red Caps during the Changeling Panic. His father assumed his albinism was due to Catherine having an affair. The marital strife eventually drove her to her death. Marcus abandoned Bruno with his Uncle Ian, who raised him alongside his cousin Henry. He was never told that Henry was the changeling left in place of the older brother he never met. Bruno grew to be bright, curious, but also a trouble maker out of a desire for attention. Ian tried to channel his behavior into something more constructive by showing him around the lab. With Henry gone he had Uncle Ian to himself for years. In 1886, he began an apprenticeship under Dr.Jekyll as his cousin Henry prepared to finish his.

Bruno grows up to be Griffin of The Invisible Man a decade after the action of TCOW. I chose to age him down due to Jekyll and Hyde being published in 1886, while the Invisible Man was published in 1897.

So funny story, yesterday I was looking up stuff about The Strange Case Of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde for school work and I accidentally stumbled upon this insane webcomic called The Glass Scientists and WOAW I binge read the whole thing in a day hehe (<- ashamed)

So so many of the characters are so lovable but my favs are Jekyll, Hyde and Lanyon and I physically needed to draw art of that comic or else I would have exploded

[calebiswanted]

My transition goals are Jekyll from the strange case of Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde
