why does this have footnotes???

here we go again with another victor and eli pair... doubt this will go any better than it did for the other two

Really rooting for Elias and Willem in this one, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I think the cast of alchemists we meet is a bit overwhelming at times but whenever they remind us of past visits, it makes me feel a bit less overwhelmed. Also I think Brogan is so cool and nice.

Victor Frankenstein, I hate you in every universe…

Absolutely loved The Corruption of Hollis Brown, so obviously I’m very excited to be reading this rn… *cue happy dancing*

"Sticky dark satisfaction of revenge" a perfectly straight man would definitely think this.

No matter what time period we are in, a piece of quartz will be there and it will be in your mouth. Check right now, there's one there. :]

Oh the severity of the gentleness which everyone treats Elias with and how unexpected it always is pains me in a visceral way. He does not get to be treated well, he has to let himself be treated well.

The Saw movies if Jigsaw was the embodiment of the queer identity.

I am devastated by "A homosexual like Henry. A criminal." vs "I do not know. I never touched him. I do not know why I was chosen." I am absolutely wrecked over how painful this existence would be.

Gave him all that for a whole load of nothing. I guess the rich are easy to scam out of replenishable resources.

If a man asks you for your hair, tears, or blood (let alone all three) you should hit the deck NOT give them to him. Especially not if he calls you "His Little Spider"

Maybe I am reading too deep into things but you could not convince me at this point that "The Monster" does not represent Victor's homosexuality. He is running from his own identity, tied permanently to the manifestation of his "sin". Also he like killed a guy or whatever, that's besides the point.

Oh the idea of reanimation as a punishment for being queer is deliciously painful, especially with the context of the time period.

Of course the texts about human reanimation and experimentation are going to discuss humans as object or ingredient rather than a living being. What exactly did you expect????? The morality police does not hang out with the guys who experiment on people and strip them of their free will???

I love a good historical citation in my fictional adaptation to remind me of how the progress of science was at this point in time and how it would not have seemed THAT out of place for a man to attempt resurrection.

All his clothes were tailored to fit, but he settled into them like a great mountain of bones
