"oh I Love Frankenstein! My Favorite Quote From The Novel Is I Have Love In Me The Likes Of Which You

Me checking the Victor Frankenstein tag every 2 hours as if expecting the tag of the most hated and mischaracterized character of a 200 year old novel to suddenly blow up with content

fellas is it gay to nurse your friend back to health from his nervous fever which incapacitates him for several months despite making a promise to yourself to study languages and then later embark on a joyful and exciting journey through britain with said friend before parting ways and eventually getting killed by said friend's rogue creation because the monster recognised you as one of the things your friend holds most dear, leaving him in a state of near-death at the grief of your loss

The hyperfixation train is a-chuggin, so have some more Frankenstein sketches

Can I ask what the context is behind ur banner image? it gave me a chuckle ::-)

AW so a couple months ago i fell down a rabbit hole of frankenstein “draw my life” type of videos, most of them were really low quality and obviously school assignments from students that did not want to be doing them. that particular drawing was of victor collecting the materials to make creature and it was just funny to me

oh yes their dynamic is so absolutely fucked and weird and sad. i think if victor hadnt died when he did, they would have just ended up making eachother worse and miserable

if victor ever requited walton’s love for him (be it platonic or romantic) i think walton would fall LESS in love. i think walton just loves romanticizing the unobtainable, he chases the unknown, and that’s why he hangs all his hopes on things he feasibly cannot reach - first becoming a famous poet, then sailing to the arctic to find the northern passage, and then victor, who is dying and too hung up on his past to love again

also, if victor HAD lived long enough to recover and be well again, i think walton would have lost interest in victor. victor and walton’s relationship was built and founded primarily on their dynamic as sick and caretaker, and without it i’m not sure walton would know what to do with himself, or he would become overbearing to compensate

at this point, victor would have already exhausted his whole story as well, so there’s no air of mystery around him anymore - nothing for walton to glorify or romanticize

Also it's very uncomfortable to see how much Walton romanticizes Victor's depression. "Noble and godlike in ruin" dude he's just educated in the same way as you and hyperfixating on revenge, please stop

whaetever

Folks often make fun of the fact that Ernest says "my brother" instead of "our brother" during the Frankensteins' reunion after William's death as if throwing shade at Victor but like

There's some 10-ish years age gap between Ernest and William, for Victor and William it's 17. William was most likely not even a year old when Victor left to university and there's been radio silence from him ever since. Victor and William literally don't know each other, for pretty much William's whole life Ernest has been his only brother. It was just the two of them and Liz, Victor was never part of it. So it's natural that Ernest would slip like that.

Victor lost the idea of a brother but Ernest actually lost a brother

go vicube go!! go vicube go!!

we as people should be more like robert walton and henry clerval (hopelessly in love with victor frankenstein)
