not aromantic but I believe in their beliefs.

"there's no platonic explanation for this" try harder bucko

love is a beautiful wonderful multifaceted nebulous thing that shouldn't be reduced to the strict bounds of Tier One: Romance and Tier Two: Friends. get weird with it. love your friends deeply, wildly, passionately and platonically. cowards

Miss negativity 👻💗

Sometimes I get annoyed by how many people in the PHM Fandom gloss over that fact that Grace HAD a partner before. Plus the very iconic line "Rocky hate Mark" came from that scene.

I think people are missing out on some very funny aroace discovery shenanigans. Imagine Grace's previous partner being annoyed that Grace is treating them like a REALLY good friend instead of a romantic interest and sexual partner and having his "head in the clouds". And Grace still in the events of the movie not realizing that theyre aroace and thats probably why the relationship fell through, because she was looking for something else in a partner.

Like this absolute ditz of a man is confusing every person he reels in with his absolutely lovely being. He has everyone in the movie at some point going, "What are we?" Lmao. Something about the concept of being "unattainable" being incredibly attractive to a lot of people.

Grace's Ex, a few hours after one of their first dates where they watched a movie at their place:

Omg he didn't make a move once! And we had deep, engaging and funny conversations! He's such a gentleman!

The Project Hail Mary Crew watching this disaster of a golden retriever, fumble his way into their hearts:

Would.

ID: A youtube comment with 11 likes by Niceone, it says "I've lived 46 years without knowing this. How nice of life to save some of the best bites for later." End ID.

Normally, people tend to get frustrated, even jokingly, if they miss out on something. This comment was on a song from 1974 and it made me smile quite much. Simply appreciative. Like a dessert after dinner.

It is genuinely mind blowing to me just how many Tumblr posts have changed my life for the better and taught me to be happier. Not all of the thoughts originate on Tumblr, but the way people collect and frame them has literally changed my brain chemistry.

Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

had a fascinating english class that resulted in the notes header “the forcefeminization of victor frankenstein”

[plant-based-person]

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 

[just-call-me-the-old-hag]

[ziamontri]

Not to mention that Shelley also literally uses the word "abortion" TWICE to describe the creature! Once used by Victor (abortive creation) and the other used by the creature himself (abortion)! So!!!!!

And, not from the book itself but from multiple analyses on this subject, Victor's lab is referred to as an "artificial womb." Mpreg has been real since 1818 /silly

I'm so glad this post was sent to me bro this was LITERALLY what my final paper for one of my last gothic literature class (I just graduated) was about. It was actually about how both Victor and the creature pretty much perfectly describe my gender identity, but I HAD to talk about the feminization of Victor as one of my points! Makes me so happy that I share views with a professor 🥹
