The Farmer's Daughter by Victor Adame

[brain-depositary]

I just can’t with this Dungeon Meshi anime. Everyone is cheering on the lesbian elf who brought a woman to life using the foul, scavenged, dead matter but when I, Victor Frankenstein,

[panthermouthh]

“I was benevolent and good, misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous.”

Imagining what it must have been like for the creature to behold his reflection for the first time. How long did he spend staring in to the water, tracing the lines of his stitches?

While I continue to procrastinate on SMS I think y’all need to see the copy of Frankenstein I just bought because I’m OBSESSED with it

First of all, gorgeous cover art.

Then you get to the actual PAGES, and

LOOK AT THAT

IT’S SO GORGEOUS

THIS LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE FROM PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

THE CREATURE LOOKS SO FUCKING COOL RAAAAHHHH

he’s not gonna pretend he’s on the phone because he meant every word and wants him to hear it

[glendover]

“your babygirl just killed people” yes but my babygirl is also a man who has given everything to protect the ones he loves. so I think he’s allowed to go a bit insane, as a treat you know.

she franken on my stein till i beautiful! great god! his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.

Some of my photogram works inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein :]

Frankenstein good ending where Victor accepts the creature ❤️

Some earlier doodles when I was trying to get Victor’s design down. I really tried not to give him a white streak in his hair, but I couldn’t help it 😔 He is definitely chronically stressed, some grey hair just makes sense :’)

[saffricatrice]

what annoys me about posts on the novel frankenstein in this site (besides the blatant ableism towards victor frankenstein from people who swear they "care" about disabled people) is the amount of readers that forget that the bride, had victor truly put her to life, would in fact have the same amount of autonomy & free will as the Creature does.

i talked about this in some reblog before but really it is incredibly annoying, seeing people who claim to be feminists and advocating for the rights of women saying that oh! victor should've just not given her ovaries/not given the Creature a cock and so that would fix everything! so they shan't be able to reproduce an dmake evil moster children! just in response to this one thing in that chapter:

"one of the first results of those sympathies for which the dæmon thirsted would be children, and a race of devils would be propagated upon the earth, who might make the very existence of the species of man a condition precarious and full of terror."

it is true that victor worries about them reproducing, but how did they miss these lines from the first paragraph of the chapter?:

 "He had sworn to quit the neighbourhood of man, and hide himself in deserts; but she had not; and she, who in all probability was to become a thinking and reasoning animal, might refuse to comply with a compact made before her creation. They might even hate each other; the creature who already lived loathed his own deformity, and might he not conceive a greater abhorrence for it when it came before his eyes in the female form? She also might turn with disgust from him to the superior beauty of man; she might quit him, and he be again alone, exasperated by the fresh provocation of being deserted by one of his own species."

it's literally longer, reader can't have somehow accidently missed it? frankenstein thinks of her free will, that is so much more important. he worries of her consent in the matter. it is in my belief by ignoring this you are ignoring the voice of mary shelly, daughter of a world known feminist, who is against arranged maariages of which this situation very closely resembles.

even if we ignore the fact that people somehow managed to not read a significant amount of the text, why do people belive the victor owes the creature a wife? do you think men are owed wives? that women, without a say in what they want to do, must become a wife to some random man just because he wants her to?

people here woobify the creature so much that they literally act extremely ableist and anti-feminist on accident. i am not saying the creatture is pure evil and victor is pure good, i am very against black and white readings, but is this not common sense? and honestly, the way the creature speaks about the bride is gross anyways. here are two examples:

"one as deformed and horrible as myself [would not deny herself to me]" & "(…) of the same species and have the same /defects/".

is that not odd? how the creature Wants her to be miserable and ugly so she has no other choice but to be with him?

not to mention how the bride parallels elizabeth and the relationship between her and the creature would've probably parallels the relationship of alphonse and caroline frankenstein, how the creature would've (accidentally?) groomed her and how pedophillic it kind of is if you really think about it. but that's a whole different can of worms

i know you guys love adam and hes interesting but jesus fucking christ

“I can fix him!” That’s cute. I can break him. I can make him a shell of a man.
