Absolutely enamoured by the idea of a real life person seeing like, a hunting dog or a pack mule, or a farm animal or something, and referring to it as “mysterious creature.”
[walking Route 12, sees a swarm of Magikarp, begins shaking] oh god, oh fuck, what….what ARE you…
Well there’s only, like, 6 people studying pokémon in a given region.
there’s about two people in my area studying animal biology but that doesn’t make me think birds are some kind of anomaly
to be fair, ive seen people refer to cats as mysteries
Victor refusing to make the Monster a wife because he was worried they’d breed is such a cop out. Like, you’re cobbling together body parts from charnel houses. You can just not give her any ovaries. You can just spay her like a cat. Why are you this dumb Victor. You’re a doctor.
the implication that victor spend weeks giving the monster a working dick is also extremely weird
Something to remember is that Victor didn’t just give the monster a working dick! He wanted his creation to be made of the best parts of men-it’s why the monster is made up of so many different pieces rather than one fresh corpse, why he’s so large, and why Victor is disappointed that he isn’t beautiful.
So, what does this mean? It means that Victor looked at the dicks of various corpses, testing not only to make sure they work, but also to find what he considered to be the best corpse dick. Does this mean the monster was extremely hung? Or did Victor simply pick the dick that seemed most attractive to him? Did he memorize the appearance of the dicks, or did he line them up to compare?
We’ll never know, because the original story never touches on the subject, and it’s one of the few flaws in Mary Shelley’s work.
I know I started this conversation but I’m so sorry I did
Considering we know who Mary Shelley was spending time around I guarantee this was a CONVERSATION that she actively and adamantly refused to actually include in the text
Well, there is ONE adaptation which includes this very discussion.
This movie is the only way Frankenstein should be portrayed
me: okay, before we go through with this, i just have one question. is the aversion to garlic like, a lactose intolerance thing where you can consume it but you’ll regret it later, or is it more of a severe, potentially lethal allergic reaction kinda sitch?
vampire: *pausing mid-bite* why… does it matter?
me: i’m just not sure if this immortality deal is really worth it if i can never eat garlic again
no but seriously. how much garlic does it take to actually repel a vampire? there are no specific measurements as far as i’m aware, which on the one hand suggests that it’s just any amount at all, but on the other hand it makes vampires look kind of weak and shitty if they can be successfully warded off by a speck of garlic powder in my blood
vampire: now, i know you’re new to this whole vampirism thing, but using that much garlic in your cooking surely can’t agree with you-
me: buddy, i was lactose intolerant before i turned. i’ve suffered worse for less.
angel: aren’t you supposed to be repelled by salt? that must be so painful
demon: i’m already damned to eternal torment in hell, do you really think i’m going to torture myself with bland, unseasoned food as well? no thank you *pops another salt and vinegar chip in their mouth and winces*
faerie: you are aware that iron dampens our magic, right?
other faerie: i will die before i stop eating chocolate and that is a threat
millennial supernatural entities are unstoppable
Monster Hunter: Is that a real silver ring?
Werewolf: Yea?
Monster Hunter: Silver causes great pain to werewolves. You should be in excruciating agony right now.
*ring finger sizzling and smoking*
Werewolf: Oh I am, but I paid $35 on Etsy for this. Plus my friend made it and I gotta support them however I can
