Gothic literature must be cursed to forever be misinterpreted by mainstream public because how did this happen

Dracula book: an evil count who only sees the world as a resource to be drained for his own pleasure is stopped by the group of people who deeply care for each other

Dracula in media: a tragic romantic hero, main love interest of one of the protagonists who must be liberated from her dull little life

Frankenstein book: any human has capacity for evil when completely abandoned and shunned by the world and the people who brought him into it

Frankenstein in media: don't play God because it's against nature's laws

Jekyll and Hyde book: repression and only caring about external appearances can cause your worst impulses to indulge themselves in dangerous ways if ignored for too long

Jekyll and Hyde in media: what if there was two of the same guy but one of them was evil and gross?

i find it interesting that natural philosophy in the early nineteenth century was itself a contested, hierarchical space, but victor gravitates toward the occult (agrippa, paracelsus, magnus), before being redirected toward more “legitimate” science at ingolstadt. his initial attraction to discredited, feminized knowledge (alchemy being historically coded as secret, embodied, irrational) versus the rational, masculine, institutionalized science he is meant to pursue reflects a broader pattern of gravitating toward modes of being that fall outside proper masculine epistemology. he is corrected by professors krempe and waldman but never fully converted—the creation process of the creature remains essentially alchemical, and thus the knowledge victor actually wants is the “wrong” kind for a man.

no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood

[mmirg0]

Yeah yeah. Totally normal.

Wildfire

(short au explanation below)

Two years after the trial of seven, a letter reaches Dunk and Egg. It travelled from Kings Landing, and bears the sigil of House Targaryen, the three headed dragon.

Aerion, the monstrous, the prince who thought himself a dragon. He’d gone mad, locking himself in his chambers and refusing to face anyone, swearing he felt scales on his back. Pleading, Maekar asked the two to return, as Aerion would name the hedge knight as the only person he wanted to talk to.

As the two arrived at the Targaryen resident, hell broke loose. The prince had been lost, somewhere in the castle where the kings guard couldn’t find him.

Found in the entrance hall, by Duncan and the younger Targaryen, he held a cup of wildfire. With a single chug, the liquid streamed down his throat, but instead of burning, a terrifying crack echoed from the tall ceiling. The prince’s limbs broke, stretched, muscles pulling apart and reshaping, while the prince screamed.

The hedge knight and his squire were only able to watch as Aerion turned into something truly monstrous, withering from pain. As the kings guard tried to keep him in check, the dragon prince lifted his wings, pushing himself out of the castle and away, far from his home.

Having nothing left to do at kings landing, Dunk and Egg leave to continue their travels again, but are soon met with an unlikely companion.

Training day at Summerhall. Dunk and Aerion have been going at it for a while, but Dunk's been holding back.

You could cut the tension with a knife and the rest of the training yard is watching to see if they'll just kiss it out or not lol

Excuse me, my prince asked for no pickles.
