i honestly find it laughable whenever i hear people say that lucy harris from the jekyll and hyde musical is an “empowering” character, who is “so much better than lisemma carew”. because she isn’t. she, like lisemma, is a byproduct of misogynistic writers who didn’t care to develop her character beyond the basics. the misogyny of the way lisemma is written is so blatant, that some people think that lucy is better.

throughout the musical, lucy harris exists to go through the worst pains imaginable and love jekyll (and also be abused by hyde because this woman deserves to be brutalised, i guess). her suffering and eventual murder is treated as jekyll at his worst, never centring her.

okay. yes, she does have dreams and aspirations for a better life, but we still don’t know much about her. what exactly are these dreams and aspirations? what are her hobbies? why does she live in london? does she have a family? if not, how did she navigate life up until then? how and why did she start doing her sex work? these could’ve been elements of her character, but it doesn’t matter to the musical. she mostly serves as hyde’s punching bag and jekyll’s 2nd cheerleader (only being bested by lisemma, of course). she was never developed beyond that.

oh well. who cares? let’s get back to the other somewhat notable female character who only serves to adore jekyll and nothing else! this time, she isn’t additionally getting fridged, so be grateful for what you have!

maturing is realising that demeter is AN EVIL CONTROL FREAK who wanted to restrict persephone from her childhood and isolate her from anyone else ignoring how persephone literally had friends. she hates persephone and her happiness! why can’t she realise how much of a loveable dork hades is?? hades is a total soft boy who is a victim of the manipulation of zeus. oh and it’s also hera’s fault because she’s also an evil manipulative control freak who probably manipulated zeus into manipulating hades. hades has never done anything wrong. he named his dog SPOT!! HE’S SUCH A SWEET BABY BOY! he’s better than that evil wench, ATHENA! FUCK ATHENA! she’s an evil pick me who finds the mere company of women repulsive and disgusting! she’d never help a woman in need so ignore nyctaea/nyctimene, coroneis, auge, and the danaids … unlike hades who freed persephone from her evil mother! he’s such a sweet baby boy who did nothing wrong! athena and demeter aren’t like OUR SWEET FEMINIST BABY BOY ARES! he’s the protector of women because … flips notes HE KILLED HIS DAUGHTER’S RAPIST! please ignore that the other gods have done that, and this specific act happened in a time where a woman’s rape was viewed as a violation against her male relatives. but aww! odysseus is such a sweet guy who has never lied a day in his life. he’s better than that evil monster JASON. BUT JASON IS BETTER THAN PERSEUS! perseus’ cult erased the fact that he actually raped medusa in her sleep but they turned him into a hero and yes ignore that heracles had a hero cult and his rapey behaviour was never erased and please never ask me where i got this source from. andromeda actually loved the monster who wanted to eat her, so perseus is evil for disrupting the monsterfucking. … wait what? perseus x medusa?? THIS MEANS THAT ANDROMEDA IS A HARLOT!!! how DARE she thing the monsterfucking??? oh and hades is a sweet baby boy who only wanted love! he shines in comparison to another sweet baby boy in the form of apollo! apollo is soooo great! how dare daphne refuse him?? she was so lucky to have him!! he had never raped anyone in his life yes please ignore dryope and creusa. oh and did i mention that hades is a sweet baby boy who only wants love? wait who’s polydectes again?? demeter bad. HADES IS A TOTAL SWEETHEART WHO DID NOTHING WRO —

i won’t edit the older posts where catherine’s name was charlotte. i wanted to just archive my previous decisions while making the story.

[sapphicenstein]

i eat up non-twink jekyll for breakfast … which means i have breakfast once a week.

[sapphicenstein]

i’ve figured out the official name for the jekyll and hyde au. it’ll be called “her strange case”, because of the fact that most of the characters are women, including my versions of jekyll and hyde themselves.

idk if it works though.

everything about catherine (used to be named charlotte) stays the same in this universe.

[sapphicenstein]

update: i’ve changed the name of genderbent henry jekyll. it went from charlotte to catherine.

[sapphicenstein]

i just found out that there’s a movie that romanticised the “relationship” between artemisia gentileschi and her rapist. how misogynistic can you be to make that shit?

i’m beginning to … dislike my victor frankenstein design. i’m thinking of changing his suit colour from green to red. and also i can make his hair light brown and his eyes green (i have a soft spot for green eyes).

i haven’t touched the world of lottie jekyll and essie hyde in a while, so here the established facts (which were changes from the previous drafts).

the time period: the whole story starts on january 1st, 1872 and it ends on august 31th, 1872.

the other characters from strange case of dr jekyll & mr hyde: other than our genderbent versions of our jekyll and hyde, the characters from stevenson’s original novel stay the same. they won’t be the main focus of the au, but they’re there. utterson, lanyon, enfield, and poole are kinda in the background, but their roles remain the same. carew still gets killed, which isn’t great for him.

each character’s ages: charlotte is 31. esther is 26. felix is 35. irene is 31. lilavati is 25. jane is 23. wilfred is 38. utterson is 42. enfield is 37. lanyon is 38. the kids’ ages remain the same.

the newest edition to the main cast: althea utterson — aged 28. close friend of charlotte and irene. younger sister of gabriel j. utterson. fiancée of vincent milton (another original character i haven’t properly developed yet). she’s a social butterfly within both her inner friend group and her social circles. she’s a sensitive soul who writes poems about nature and love. within the context of the story, she ends up being a mother figure to charlotte and felix’s children once both parents … yeah i won’t say anything yet.

charlotte and felix’s relationship (no i haven’t come up with their ship name, so please give me your ideas): instead of felix being nearly a decade older than charlotte, he’s 4 years older than her. they got married when she was 20 and he was 24. they met a year prior, because he was her father’s client and the two fell in love.

charlotte’s sexuality: she’s bisexual. and so is esther.

irene sinclair’s role within the story: she is a detective, primarily because she realised that the police were deeply incompetent and she could help solve crime effectively, due to her wit and determination. she still struggles because of how society is built on misogynoir, though. that part of her story doesn’t change.

this is what i’ve gotten, for now.
