haven’t even been on this blog since before pinned posts were a thing, so time to make one. this is a blog for frankenstein’s creature, most commonly referred to here as ‘the being,’ of mary shelley’s frankenstein. this blog is 100% book-based, with no inspiration drawn from any films, tv shows, plays, or other adaptations. it will also be heavily plot-based, due to the difficulty of constructing interactions with an eight foot tall monstrosity. please read full rules before following. 

rules.  /  about.

you never named me, victor. you never gave me what little humanity every person is owed. i understand that there are 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 that should be forgotten and erased from history — but even HURRICANES have names.

independent & selective 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐈𝐍𝐆 (frankenstein’s monster), of mary shelley’s frankenstein, or the modern prometheus.  /  penned by 𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐒.  /  mun and muse 21+.  /  POEM CREDIT.

So is the creature a vegetarian or full on vegan? And no I'm not asking this because I am baking him a cake

vegetarian! there’s no mention of him eating meat, but he does eat cheese on at least one occasion, so i think he’s fine with animal products when he can get his hands on them. so feel free to use eggs and milk in your cake, he will appreciate it all the same.

The Creature be like: murder of an entire family is valid for being disowned at birth

the creature be like ‘yes i murdered three people and indirectly caused the deaths of three others but has anyone considered how i feel’

[owochimuwu]

I've done nothing wrong. Except for all the atrocities. Besides that I'm innocent

heads up to my lovely new followers!! since this blog is so plot-based, i tend to be much slower and more selective on here. i am much more active on my oc, @aleximedicus, and he’s also an easier character to interact with, since he’s not an eight foot tall undead monstrosity. you’re more than welcome to find me there and pester me on that blog if you would like to interact.

EVERYONE GO LOOK AT THIS DRAWING OF THE BEING IMMEDIATELY

[anabioun]

you: the being looooves sugar he can't get enough of it he eats sugar with everything!! me, knowing that craving sugar is the result of severe depression: 😬

listen if he’s gotta be a depressed bastard living in a cave he might as well at least be a depressed bastard living in a cave with a bag of haribo that’s all i’m saying,

ok, so — i made a post like this on my other blog and it ended up being pretty helpful, so i wanna do it here, too. when it comes to plotting, it can be a little awkward to ask every time if people have read the book, and i often end up not asking and just relying on assumptions, which is worse. i hate overexplaining to someone who’s read the book, and i hate underexplaining to someone who hasn’t. so — for my own references, can mutuals like this post if you haven’t read the book and comment if you have? this is not meant to make people feel bad if they haven’t read it!! reading it isn’t a pre-requisite for interacting with me in the least. this is solely for my reference so that i know how to approach plotting. having a masterlist to refer to makes it much easier than having to awkwardly bring it up in a plotting conversation with every person i wanna thread with.

potential ways your muse could meet the being. if you’ve been around a while, you know i’ve gotten quite tired of too many interactions boiling down to ‘muse stumbles across the being in the woods.’ i don’t want to put all the pressure on other people to come up with scenarios, so i figured i’d write up a few basic ways our characters could come into contact. and please remember, too, to take the being’s appearance into consideration when we discuss how they’ll interact. i certainly don’t mean to police your character’s reaction, but after writing the being for... way too long, i have come across too many characters who just want to ignore the fact that he is a literal eight foot tall hideous monstrosity. just. take it into consideration. anyway. 

i. as much as i joke about it, i am actually interested in the idea of the being finding some way to interact through the internet. the veil of anonymity that the internet gives could be really interesting to explore. email penpals! meeting on some weird forum! who knows!  ii. if you’re feeling an early 1900s vibe, i am always up for circus / performer settings. a lot of the shit at these early circuses was either straight up hoax (like the monkey torsos glued to fish butts as ~real mermaids~) or blatant commodification of normal human beings, so the being definitely stands out as... an actual monster. your muse can be a fellow performer, a worker in the circus, a guest, etc.  iii. the being helping your muse out similar to the way he helped the de lacey family in the novel, secretly doing little chores like getting firewood or shovelling snow from the path. your muse could start leaving notes / gifts out for the person helping them, the being could leave notes in return, etc. works best with rural muses, probably.  iv. similar vein of anonymity, could do something with the being getting injured or ill and genuinely needing help. leaving cryptic notes at someone’s doorstep asking for medical supplies but insisting on remaining hidden. up to you whether your muse will continue to help him while he remains anonymous or try to sleuth out who needs help and why.  v. if your muse is a scientist or historian, we could fuck around with them finding Proof™ of the being’s existence through frankenstein’s notes / work and trying to track him down.  vi. shit set around halloween. is it february? yes. do i care? no. i’m very into the idea of people seeing the being around halloween, recognising how horrifying and unsettling he is, but just automatically accepting that it’s a costume because it’s halloween, dude, sick costume, that makeup must’ve taken you ages, how did you make yourself look that tall, vii. full-on league of extraordinary gentlemen or penny dreadful shit. let’s just go balls to the wall. dump a bunch of supernatural / classic lit stuff in a blender and see what the fuck happens.

okay so,,, tentative plotting call. reminder to please thoroughly read my rules before liking.

sometimes i feel unsure if my joking about bee in modern settings ending up basically verbally shitposting is too out of character and then i remember that his canon reaction to frankenstein’s meltdown of ‘ew oh my god you’re so ugly i can’t even look at you get out of my sight’ was to put his hands over frankenstein’s eyes sarcastically and continue talking so like,
