that thing where you're attracted to someone not in a platonic or romantic or sexual way, but in an 'i want to read about their exploits' kind of way

no i don't want to "date" or "hang out" i sort of just want to follow you around while you go about your crazy business. i won't make it weird if u won't

i want to narrate a nature documentary about you

had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”

what the people want, the people get

you see

my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.

evidence as explained:

  • victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world
  • his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression
  • he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest
  • henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces 
  • afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?
  • Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational 
  • the book does not otherwise have central female characters 

Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.

in conclusion, Frankenstein (1818) by Mary  Wollstonecraft Shelley is one of the first examples of mpreg in English literature 

I was reading this calmly and fascinated and then the fucking conclusion hit me with a flying duck

unasked for mini-tour of my gatsby corner

this isn’t EVERYTHING I don’t think. But it’s most of it
