new fun ask idea: sort the romantics into folks who say "hehe" and folks that say "bruh"
wordsworth: thinks both of them are a degradation of the good nature of language. for this, de quincey, a hehe, thinks he’s pedantic. he is right.
*bonus: dorothy wordsworth: on the inside hehes, on the outside she looks deeply unimpressed
coleridge: bruh
p. shelley: bruh
mary shelley: hehe
john keats: keats says ‘lmao’ to express anguish. dwells into hehe,
byron: bruh and hehe, his name isn’t a bi pun for nothing. his early poetry was hehe, evolved into bruh
blake: hehe, the chimney sweep is proof enough of this
polidori: m’lady, le sigh, i loled
claire clairmont: began as a hehe, went into ‘why are we here in this world? to suffer? every day i read emails’
leigh hunt: B R U H
tl peacock: (exasperated) BRUH
might do more if i think about them.
made a uquiz so you can all find out which fun anecdote about a romantic writer you are
All the cute nicknames Victor Frankenstein called his son throughout the book:
catastrophe
miserable monster
demoniacal corpse to which I have so miserably given life
an ugly mummy
a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived,
the filthy daemon to whom I have given life
no human
the wretch whom I had created
sight tremendous and abhorred
unearthly ugly being
too horrible for human eyes
miserable head
vile insect
abhorred monster
wretched devil
you, whose joint wickedness might desolate the world
too horrible for human eyes to behold
the filthy mass that moved and talked
wretch whom I dreaded
villain
monster of my creation
fiend
figure most hideous and abhorred
+ bonus - all the cute ways captain Robert Walton described Victor’s son on 1 page:
a form which I cannot find words to describe
never did I behold a vision so horrible as his face, of such loathsome, yet appalling hideousness
tremendous being
scary and unearthly in his ugliness
Tag yourself I’m “the filthy mass that moved and talked”
OH MY GOD William Blake did a thing in response to Byron’s Cain AHHHHHHH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
oh yeah? well *i* met a traveller from an antique land who says that’s total bullshit
Life of William Blake (1880), Volume 1, Songs of Innocence - The Lamb.
I dreamed that there was a Broadway musical made of Frankenstein, which was wildly popular and a huge success. Early in the first act, Victor had a song called ‘Wonderful!’ which was sort of a fast-forward of ‘I’m engaged to this wonderful girl, I’m attending this wonderful school, everything’s great, I’m going to create life’. It got a minor-key reprise in the second act, after the creature had killed Elizabeth and Victor was resolving to destroy him once and for all.
The reprise started out being all about worm facts and how wonderful worms were, and ended with Victor singing about how wonderful it was that they helped the process of decay by feasting on his fiancée, and how wonderful it would be when they devoured his misbegotten creation.
Everybody on this site was like ‘I know the reprise is supposed to show the rock bottom of Victor’s mental and emotional breakdown and all but…worms really are wonderful and I love this song’.
Ok first of all that is exactly how Tumblr would react and secondly I need that musical to exist immediately

Mary Shelley: We need to think, how do we usually get out of these messes?
Percy Shelley: We don’t. We just make a bigger one that cancels the first one out
