OC time! This is Knight. he's an amorphous protozoic mass that pilots an empty suit of armor. A real whizz at the halberd too. Wants to make friends but usually ends up spooking them. Humans can be so terribly complicated!

[kusnechik]

your me assigned organ: the liver. I will not be elaborating muahahahha!

hmmmm pretty accurate, what can I say I too store a whole bunch of vitamins, help emulsify fats and take the brunt of detoxification <3

[kusnechik]

HAPPY PRIDE

THANK YOUUU YOU TOO QVQ

to russian speaking project hail mary fans who can do edits… a thing of Grace and Rocky set to прекрасное далёко.

Слышу голос и спешу на зов скорее По дороге, на которой нет следа

listen… it's one of those nostalgia trigger scifi franchises and it's just? you know? That odd mix of nostalgia and hope and fantastic undiscovered things and loyalty to friends and augh

[kusnechik]

o u G H H...

"I hear the voice and hurry to follow its call. On a path that is yet untrodden."

Screaming crying throwing up etc etc. How right you are OP. Why didn't I think of that.

May I also suggest:

"Я клянусь что стану чище и добрее. И в беде не брошу друга никогда."

"I swear I will be better and kinder. And will never abandon my friend in his troubles."

^ The song in question. Not only is it absolutely beautifully hearwrenching, the lyrics also may or may not fit phm like a glove. Alas I don't have the skill to make an edit of Grace and Rocky so all I can do is spread the word of this song lmao.

Anyone got voice claims for any jekyll and hyde characters?

[kusnechik]

Hyde will always sound like Alan Cumming and/or Murdoc Niccals to me

[kusnechik]

Big fan of the bottomless well that is the crossover potential of Sherlock Holmes x Gothic/Classic literature as a whole.

And not always in the sense of grandiose adventures and cases surrounding them (though I love them dearly and they are, to my unpleasant surprise, a rarity) but like just...a subtle nod sometimes. Holmes just happens to *know* a handful of other characters from other works and it's up to us (and Watson) to imagine the how and where of those accquaintancs.

Exhibit A:

(in a letter to Watson):

Dearest friend. If you are not busy this evening, I kindly ask you to visit Cavendish Square and deliver this sample to Dr. Jekyll for analysis. If you are busy, deliver it all the same.

-S.H.

PS: Hurry up to be there before 9, lest you should run into his much less civil housemate.

Assumption from the ask game:

You seem like someone who likes stop motion films a lot or would like clay like body horror.

oho? (looking up from my suspiciously body-horror filled blog) however would you knowwww? :3 On a different note, stop motion films are supreme. They are marvelous. I have been entranced by them ever since my early childhood. The superior form of animated media.

[kusnechik]

HALLO

Another one for the artfight profile. Finally giving Henry a good proper outfit fr Details under the cut:

Not sure if I'll add more gothic lit characters to my profile. Might even revive some old OCs idk

[justenny]

Grace gives Adrian a homemade gift 😌

[kusnechik]

every once in a while I think of this at the most inconvenient moment and then break out into stupid giggles.

[strangestcase]

i make two types of Jekyll and Hyde content:

Earnest serious text analysis

Turning Hyde into mustard gravy

[strangestcase]

secret third type: we need to go back in time to 2014 and get the glass scientists off the adaptation menu

[bug-enthusiast]

Secret fourth option according to bug: drawing Jekyll in gay little poses just self indulgent enough so I won’t get stoned

[kusnechik]

Secret fifth option according to Ku: See how much body horror that middle-aged upper-class shapeshifting scot can take <3

[kusnechik]

busy making more refsheets for artfight. May I offer you a gooberine Jekyll in these trying times?
