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

Egyszer voltam, esztékás alapon, a Jánosban.
Azóta a Jánosba is csak akkor vinnének, ha éppen ájult vagyok, és nem tudok tiltakozni, és soha többet nem vagyok hajlandó éber álapotban belemenni egy ilyenbe.

I love animation history and one of the things that always baffled me was how did animators draw the cars in 101 Dalmatians before the advent of computer graphics?
Any rigid solid object is extremely challenging for 2D artists to animate because if one stray line isn’t kept perfectly in check, the object will seem to wobble and shift unnaturally.
Even as early as the mid 80’s Disney was using a technique where they would animate a 3D object and then apply a 2D filter to it. This practice could be applied to any solid object a character interacts with: from lanterns a character is holding, to a book (like in Atlantis), or in the most extreme cases Cybernetic parts (like in Treasure Planet).
But 101 Dalmatians was made WAY before the advent of this technology. So how did they do the Cruella car chase sequence at the end of the film?
The answer is so simple I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner:
They just BUILT the models and painted them white with black outlines 🤣
That was the trick. They’re not actually 2D animated, they’re stop motion. They were physical models painted white and filmed on a white background. The black outlines become the lineart lines and they just xeroxed the frame onto an animation cel and painted it like any other 2D animated frame.
That’s how they did it! Isn’t that amazing? It’s such a simple low tech solution but it looks so cool in the final product.
Az egész 101 kiskutya artja fantasztikus, amiatt akartam illusztrátor lenni kiskoromban.
