Victor Frankenstein

[mmmthornton]

“The queer subtext of Bride of Re-Animator can be detected elsewhere in the film, not just through the basic idea of two men creation life together, but also through the melodramatic of West and Cain’s relationship, which often seems deliberately fraught with jealousy and unspoken desire. It is probably unlikely that Lovecraft had intended a frisson between his two creators, but there is something about the living arrangements of these two bachelors that hints at homosexual domesticity, a detail deliberately enhanced by Yuzna’s staging. Combs’ unrestrained performance verges gleefully on camp, and often it does feel as thought West bears a repressed sexual attraction toward his colleague, particularly in an early scene in which Cain tries to break off his working relationship with West. Presented as though we are watching a lovers’ quarrel, the scene is shot and performed with a knowing wink, made even more obvious by the fact that our mismatched pair are fighting over the creation of a new life. They are like a couple arguing whether or not to take the plunge and have a baby.”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is science in a nutshell

[doitforbobby]

sometimes you fall down in life and it sucks!!!!!! like it’s actually terrible but… hey. u gotta get back up champ bc u r a STAR. in other words, i have fallen down recently and this is how i plan on getting back up. bc i am a star.

starting easy

clean your room bc outer peace brings inner peace

clean yourself bc outer peace brings inner peace and this means removing your makeup washing your face brushing your teeth combing your hair wearing nice-smelling clothes

drink a glass of water because hydration. important.

play a happy song like rlly whatever u want that makes u happy and want to dance

i know this might sound hard but like u got this i believe in u

moving on

ok this is hard part but u still got this love

think about everything that is wrong literally like EVERYTHING but maybe not everything bc maybe it will stress you out but maybe writing it will be cathartic whatever works for u

find solutions for those problems

i know i make it sound super easy and i know it’s actually really hard but usually u know what the solution is just something is holding u back

so rlly decide that that is the solution

tell urself, “this is how i am going to fix this”

to make this very hard and difficult step, please be nice to yourself by listening to cool tunes and rocking eyeliner

it rlly helps

organising your thoughts is also useful bc organisation

i have heard a bullet journal is rlly gr8 for this because like u get to plan ur days but also write random crap that’s not actually random crap but instead very good crap like “how to cheer up when sad” it’s all there in one notebook !!! radical eh

the step where you get back up

set urself up for success by sleeping early and waking up early bc sleep is like soooOo important u have no idea

exercise bc endorphins and all that good stuff and drink water and eat yo vegetables

do the shit that u planned to do in the previous step even if it’s hard i know it’s hard life is hard but u r hardier u r a star

stay on track

k so a lot of ppl r like “discipline > motivation” which i 100% agree but like motivation is also nice

have someone believe in u/someone u can talk to and be ur ray of sunshine like this is rlly helpful

find a purpose for whatever u want to do like what is ur reason for going through the shitty path of life and choosing this hard decision

typical motivational quotes like idk about u but i fall for those every single time

pep talk urself and fake enthusiasm even if u don’t want to like isn’t it radical how the only person holding u back is u

forgive yourself

ur life will go on track and then back off again!!! bc u r a human and humans make mistakes

don’t u get all mopey on urself and be like “i have ruined my life” like stop being so dramatic tough love ik but like U R ALIVE AND THAT MEANS U GTA KEEP KICKIN AT SMTHING

u can mope for a bit and when u do mope mope ur heart out like cry and use tissues and whatever u need but like limit ur moping period bc u need to move on

bad things will happen to u bc life and no matter how much ppl want to help u only u can rlly help urself

ur life ur decisions. forgive urself and start over again (refer to beginning of this post)

fun little reminders

u have the most beautiful smile

my inbox is always open if u need a pep talk and i will always fight ur negativity with my jaw-dropping, amazing, radiant positivity

u! r! a! star!!!!11!11!!1111!!!!!!!!3

cake makes everything better

leonardo dicaprio is still single

i love u unless ur mean don’t be mean plS

<3

Henry Clerval | “He was a boy of singular talent and fancy. He loved enterprise, hardship, and even danger for its own sake. He was deeply read in books of chivalry and romance. He composed heroic songs and began to write many a tale of enchantment and knightly adventure.”

"I, ah, you are quite welcome!" Victor said, still utterly perplexed by the conversation in which he had found himself.

Decellularization is the name for a tissue engineering technique which is designed to strip the cells from a donor organ, thus leaving nothing but connective tissue that once held the cells in place. It’s referred to as a “ghost organ” for it’s pale appearance. It can then be reseeded with the patient’s cells. The goal is to render an organ that can be transplanted into a patient without of the tissue being rejected.

Jemmy Maddzz

Sorry about the weirdly elongated face, I didn’t use a reference and when I think “James Madison” I think “triangles.” It must be because of that magnificent widow’s peak. We could write off the face shape as this being a young Jemmy, but that’d just be silly because we all know he came out of the womb as a forty seven year old.

His eyebrows are so uneven. Stop trying to wax, dude.
