my honest opinion is that all fictional romantic couples should be separated by death and the surviving one should develop an unhealthy and offputting obsession with the dead one’s rotting corpse

me talking about horror to normal people: its not torture porn, horror is an incredible medium to explore personal complex emotions and the genre at large can really speak to a society’s unspoken fears at a given time in history

i just really enjoy characters who aren’t just “weird” but who genuinely experience the world differently than most people especially wrt how they experience their own emotions like i will always be a sucker for characters who don’t really know if they CAN experience “normal” emotions figuring out how they can relate to other people etc. and i basically never enjoy the “solution” to this being assimilation or like exceptionalism of a love interest character. i never want to see a character realize that they’re experiencing “normal” romantic feelings but the tension and possible conflict of “idk if i can even feel love like that but this might be the closest i can get” do you see the difference??? and i also love low empathy characters and never want to see a low empathy character get “positive character development” where they can suddenly feel empathy like “normal” i want them to be bad at it forever okay thank you

no dude it’s so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood

not to be dramatic but I am feeling somewhat unwell and perhaps like my body is rotting painfully with my flesh desiccating and sloughing from my bones

The gore and body horror in that film was fucking sublime as well. I felt like it was made for the flesh freaks like me. I am so fucking captivated

del toros victor funniest guy of all time. tries to steal his brothers bride to be who looks like his mother who died in childbirth of said brother in an attempt to take something from his brother the same way his brother took something from him (their mother) but he can’t hack it so he creates life immediately treats it like his father whom he hated treated him in turn leading to the death of both his brother and his bride. and himself. and several hundred innocent bystanders. wants to fuck his mother. turns into his father. recreates himself. forces his other self to live in perpetuaty. dies. 👍

distort-opia:

it’s also an interesting difference to the novel how in GDT’s Frankenstein, Victor does not even entertain the idea of saying “yes.” he doesn’t bend to anyone. not to society’s qualms and the protestations of his college, the demands of his disciplinary hearing. not to Harlander, who in the end essentially begged just for hope. just for Victor to say “yes”, since after Harlander’s death (which would’ve been necessary for his brain to be put inside the Creature’s skull) Victor could’ve simply not used his body. he could’ve simply lied to give him peace. but, completely caught up in his own head and failing to consider the consequences, he denies Harlander. who then obviously reacts violently, trying to force Victor’s hand.

it’s a parallel to how, when the Creature asked for a companion, Victor could’ve said “yes,” but he doesn’t even entertain the idea, he rejects it outright. he refuses to give any hope to the Creature, and fails to consider what reactions this might provoke– that the Creature will be angry. that what he keeps denying will be sought after by force, that the people around him won’t simply abide his whims however they come. that there will be consequences to his selfishness, like Harlander and Elizabeth and William dying.

“It’s still all about your will, Victor”. ultimately that’s the reason for the Creature declaring later on “You may be my Creator, but from this day forward, I will be your Master.” the Creature accurately identifies the source of the tragedy and sets out to break that horrible, horrible will, to force Victor to let go of his delusion of “conqueror”. the madness that set all of them on this path, the madness that couldn’t abide being told “no” by Elizabeth but refused to say anything other than “no” to the people around him. “The miracle is not that I should speak, but that you would ever listen!”

he’d told the Creature to kill him after Elizabeth and William’s deaths, but that would have simply proven him right in his view of the Creature as the villain, the monster, so the Creature becomes the eagle feasting on Prometheus’ liver instead. him dying then would have been too easy of a punishment. it’s only after a long series of hurts and dealt pain, it’s only on his deathbed that Victor truly listens. his will is allowed to bend when he has no other choice, when his body is broken and dying. when he doesn’t have to live with himself after admitting to his wrongdoings, when he doesn’t have to be the one who “wins it all” anymore. “My father gave me that name”, and all Victor had done afterwards was try to measure up to it, to be it, but in the end it meant nothing. as he’s dying, he wants it given back to him but not with fear, not like when Elizabeth begged the Creature to take her away from the man who’d killed her, not like when William told him he’d always feared him as his last breath left him. he wants it given back to him as proof of having once been loved.
