Jekyll and Hyde: the first alt account gone wrong
Act of Gratitude
This is hella ANGST. I was actually hesitating to post this comic due to my hc about Lilia 'letting baby silver wander in the forest' (made it before last chapter of Book 7). But I think it's still on par with the story.
Fellas it’s that time of day again
IT WAS ERIC AFTER ALL!!!! I'm so glad we got to meet him (before Vil snaps him away with those Infinity Gauntlets) (can't wait to see what happens when we get the matching Infinity Tiara to go with them, there will be no survivors)
(sorry to be so slow/rough lately, just got a lot of stuff on the ol' brain at the moment! alas, if only I could spend all my time drawing incredibly stupid characters I mean I do but)
brightest day in Diasomnia
Yknow rewatching gravity falls makes you realize how batshit insane Ford truly was
1. Lights his face on fire instead of shaving because “it’s faster”
2. Suggests Rudolph should’ve murdered the other reindeer for making fun of him
3. Had a situationship with a triangle
One thing that pisses me off is people seeing fish in aquariums (the establishments, not home aquariums) and being like “It’s so sad because the ocean is so big and the tank is so small and they’ll never know freedom blah blah blah-“ I’m not talking about sharks and marine mammals here but the majority of fish are not at all bothered by being in an aquarium instead of the open ocean. Like, I personally would love to be a little clown fish in one of those big reef tanks. Fed regularly. Whole team of people monitoring my health and well-being. No predators. Medicated if I show signs of illness. Aquarium fish have cushy gigs in comparison to their wild companions.
Care for a ramble card? Ramble about anything and everything and anything you want for as long as you want
Aha thank you, this is a good excuse for me to talk for no reason /lh I suppose I'll discuss one of my theories about Jekyll and Hyde. One of my main theories is that Dr Jekyll lives at 28 Leicester Square. I'm pretty sure most people have this as a head canon but I'd like to go into a lot more detail about it. So, first of all, John Hunter was a surgeon in the mid-late 1700s and he was known for buying bodies and taking them in through the backdoor of his house so that he could experiment and dissect them. This, obviously, caused an uproar amongst the people of England and the debate ensued about whether it was "for the greater good" because the only way we can learn about the human body so that we can treat people is through an autopsy. Now, how does this relate to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? Well, at the beginning of chapter 5 it was said that Jekyll "had bought the house from the heirs of a celebrated surgeon" Suggesting that perhaps he had brought the house off of Dr Hunter. There is also a similarity not only in house the house is structured, with the main part of the house being separate to the theatre and cabinet to the point where the back door and the front door face completely different streets, but also on the basis that R.L.S also created a short story The Bodysnatcher 1884 (2 years before J&H was published) which suggested that Stevenson already had knowledge of bodysnatching and therefore must have heard about the tale of John Hunter. Thus leading me to believe that whilst it is not a directly spoken element of the story, Jekyll's House was heavily and consciously implied to be John Hunters house. Another reason why I particularly like this idea of this is that Leicester Square is only a ten minute walk from Soho which is where Hyde lives. I like this because Leicester square is shown to be quite a middle class residence (as shown on The Charles Booth 1898 map) whereas Soho was riddled with a mix of people ranging from those living comfortably and those who lived in extreme poverty. This links to the duality of man showing that despite these neighbourhoods being close, there is still such a difference between them. However it also relates to the profiling theory that some criminals like to stick close to their home base, showing that Jekyll chose a house for Hyde in Soho so that he could easily retreat to his own home if something were to go wrong, hence why Hyde has run of Jekyll's house. So to conclude, Stevenson made a conscious decision to have Jekyll's house at 28 Leicester square because it was John Hunter's house who was an unethical doctor too and also because it's close to Soho. :D So sorry this is very long but nonetheless a fun ramble. Thank you
Adaptations focus on Carmilla as just an Evil Seductress so much that they neglect that she has abilities that rival Dracula's and has ones that he doesn't.
She can shapeshift into a terrifying giant cat, into a black wraith. After biting she can join the dreams of the one she bit, she can manifest into an apparition like a psychic vampire, slip through cracks and locks. Physically, her one bite will normally kill within days (which seems to be part of her vampirism). Weapons shatter before her; she's indestructible at night. Even at day, she has super strength and can toss a grown man away like a mosquito, despite her languidness she'll dodge and block blows from trained army men, can disappear from sight without a trace, and her grip can numb one's limbs permanently.
She has no weather control like Dracula, which is a unique trait from having sold his soul to Satan with top grades. But she has nothing to envy about him. And she's only 150ish, and not a trained wizard and a vampire out of desire to become a powerful undead warlord, but was forced to become one.
