“Yeah, sure.” She was more focused on the task at hand. She grabbed a branch that had a good amount of nuts on it and snapped it, tossing it down to Adam “Here.”

She climbed back down the tree and stood next to him “See? I told you.”

He caught the branch handily, though eyed it with some melancholy.

“It is bad for the tree to snap its branches so,” he commented as he handed over the branch and its pecan bounty once she was on the ground.  “But it is good that you didn’t fall.”

     All right, he’ll bite.

     Dean Winchester is a name that’s ended up on the FBI’s ‘Most Wanted’. For all intents and purposes, he’s legally presumed dead. Better than being hunted. Can’t get the job done when your face is smeared across everyone’s television, you name a whisper in the dark so powerful one could almost create a tulpa of their idea of who you’re supposed to be.

      People like a mob, they like to fashion a villain out of smoke and mirrors. With the man before him, he can’t imagine it’s an incredibly long stretch or difficult undertaking.

     “Say I take the high road. Innocent ‘til proven guilty. Doesn’t answer why you have an interest in the case. Not exactly on the news at ten.”

Adam shrugged.  “I have no vested interest, true, but I have taken a dislike to bullies over the years.  Even aside from my own reputation, I would rather not allow fear and death to flourish when I may be able to stop it.”

After all, he had caused enough of it himself.  If he could rectify some of that by facing what most people couldn’t... well, maybe someday he would sleep a little better.

He rather doubted it.

“Frequently. 0 out of 10 stars; would not recommend.”

“We are agreed on that, then.”

Pike’s suspicions were heightened by the man’s hesitance to show his face, but as he was willing to obey the captain’s request, he lowered and holstered his phaser.

“Well, Adam,” Pike replied, “I’m Captain Christopher Pike of the U.S.S. Enterprise.  And, you don’t need to fear me, either.  I just get a little jumpy when I hear movement in an area where I can’t see anything; I’m sure you understand.  I won’t hurt you.”

As the other lowered his phaser, Adam relaxed further.  He nodded.  “I understand,” he replied.  “I’m a maintenance engineer here, currently.  I apologize for the low light, I am somewhat light-sensitive.”

He stepped aside, tapping a wall panel to increase the light to a more acceptable level.  “What brings a Starfleet Captain this way, if I may ask?”

starters from the 1818 novel by mary shelley, FRANKENSTEIN

“beware; for i am fearless, and therefore powerful.”

“life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and i will defend it.”

“i have love in me, the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage, the likes of which you would not believe.”

“if i cannot satisfy one, i will indulge the other.”

“if i cannot inspire love, i will cause fear!”

“there is something at work in my soul, which i do not understand.”

“man, how ignorant art thou in thy pride of wisdom!”

“i wish to be allowed to speak.”

“make me happy, and i shall again be virtuous.”

“i was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend.”

“you accuse me of murder.”

“listen to me, ( name ).”

“accursed creator!”

“learn from me”

“i am alone and miserable.”

“only someone as ugly as i am could love me.”

“i shall need no other happiness.”

“it was the secrets of heaven and earth that i desired to learn.”

“i do not understand why men who knew all about good and evil could hate and kill each other.”

“why did i not die?”

“i was doomed to live.”

“be men, or be more than men.”

“this ice is not made of such stuffs as your hearts may be.”

“i am malicious because i am miserable.”

“why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?”

“farewell.”

“my spirit will sleep in peace.”

“i looked upon the sea; it was to be my grave.”

“do you share my madness?”

“soon these burning miseries will be extinct.”

“you shall repent of the injuries you inflict.”

“devil, do you dare approach me?”

“evil thenceforth became my good.”

“my reign is not over yet.”

“follow me.”

“where can i find rest but in death?”

I’m what the kids call ‘an atrocity to god’.

[jbk405]

I’m in the middle of re-reading Frankenstein, and something I never quite realized before – even though I’ve seen it pointed out by others – is just how ineffectual Frankenstein is in dealing with anything.  He whines, and he moans, and laments his life, but he never does anything about it.

When he first brings his creation to life and flees in terror, he takes absolutely no action afterwards.  He doesn’t arm himself and resolve to return and kill the perceived monster he has birthed, he just wanders the streets until he goes home and hopes that it has gone away.  When he gets back and sees that it is gone from his apartment he doesn’t try to marshal a pursuit, he’s just happy that it’s gone and that’s it.  He gives absolutely no thought to what it may be doing out in the world, since it’s not his problem anymore.

When he learns that his brother has been murdered and their maid has been framed, he becomes convinced that the creature is responsible but he doesn’t tell anybody.  He doesn’t even make up a mundane story that bypasses bringing a creature to life, like saying that he made a personal enemy who is targeting his family and that is why Justine is being framed.  He just says that he believes her innocent but takes no action, and expects that to get her acquitted.  He even bemoans that he has it worse than Justine since even though she is executed his guilt is so hard to bear.

After Justine’s death he says he is considering suicide, but he resists because if he did so then there would be nobody to protect his family.  Except, again, he isn’t doing any protecting.  He still hasn’t told anybody the truth, nor has he made up that plausible mundane explanation to get them on their guard.  He doesn’t mount a watch at night or go about armed.  He takes no action.

He is so self-centered that all he talks about is how hard everybody else’s pain is on him, and so spoiled that he does absolutely nothing to resolve any situation.  He just seems to expect it to be worked out because he wants it so.

What a tool.

YES. In 2020 we recognize that Frankenstein was not the monster, or even the doctor, but rather a dumbass little bitch.

All very true.

((Victor never had to confront hardship or having to solve his problems as a child, and so he lacked that skill as an adult.))

“It’s fine, I do this all the time!” Emma stated as she climbed up higher into the tree. It was full of pecans, and she figured why not grab a few to snack on? “If you’re really that worried, just make sure to catch me.”

Adam did not usually make a habit of waiting around underneath trees to catch people climbing too high, but he sighed and remained where he stood.

“Do try not to fall from too high up?  Even caught, the force of the stop could be dangerous.”

[sandersstudies]

Love people who have interests or hyperfixations in morbid or depressing or scary fields because they’re trying so hard to balance “ho boy am I excited to talk about all this information I know” and “I recognize that this is very bad and I’m trying to be a little somber about it.”

[sandersstudies]

Watching a documentary about poisonings during the Victorian era and this historian clearly knows so much about arsenic and is trying really hard to be chill.
