I Can't Do This Anymore! I Mean I Can, And I Will, Obviously. But I Can't Fucking Do This Anymore!

as soon as i saw the tiktok notification “thanks to president trump for yadayadayada” I immediately went “wow, that was the most obvious manipulation I’ve ever seen in my life, we just got played” and I’m not sure how anyone came to any other conclusion

"kill them with kindness" WRONG. chair attack 🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑🪑

Can we go back to mistaking Frankenstein's monster for Frankenstein please. Imagine how pissed Victor Frankenstein would be over his creation having his family name. How fucking funny is it to imagine him just losing his mind at the very thought of his son creation just being casually called Frankenstein like it is so hilarious to me. Please it's what he deserves.

Saw some memes that made me think of em

do henry and elizabeth know who their murderer was? did they piece together in their final moments that the creature taking their life was made from victor’s hand? did henry put two and two together, remembering the mess that he cleaned up in victor’s dorm and the months victor spent ill raving about a monster, then looking at the creature in front of him and recognizing him from that? did the creature say something to either of them? he specifically mentions to walton that murdering henry was torture to him, but why? did he simply know that henry was a loving and caring person from observation, or did he experience some of that kindness himself? were henry’s last words that of kindness to the creature, or merely screams of terror? and what about elizabeth? she knew that victor was haunted by something, and did that realization of what it was finally come to her as she died? or was she just lost and scared and confused and alone, hoping for someone to come and help? was the creature so heartbroken after killing henry that he didn’t even try to converse with elizabeth?

if they both knew who the creature was, what did they think of victor in that brief moment? were they horrified, disappointed, disgusted? what would the two people who loved victor most think of him if they realized that his creation was the one killing them? what did they think, how much did they know and understand, in their final moments??????

this transcript of a percy shelley letter written to mary will remain the funniest thing ever to me because it’s so obvious that whatever happened at byron’s palace was torn out on purpose to protect all their reputations

Source: Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley, ed. Ingpen, vol 2 ——— p.s. the beach convo shelley mentions was turned into his poem julian and maddalo - as this copy mentions in the notes!

Traveller the ice is dark and closing in 

Wherever did you come from, what weighs you down within 

Traveller your eyes are dark and your voice is somber 

Wherever did you come from, why are you here? 

We haven’t sailed in fourteen days

The nights are getting longer. 

I’m sensing fear upon your face, I see you don’t belong here 

 Our spirits started off as great, I’m sure you did as well 

Oh traveller, before you’re dead you must your story tell

The North Carolina Prohibitionist, Archdale, North Carolina, December 2, 1887
