it’s alarmingly unsung that frankenstein was conceived and written by a 19 year old woman

[insomniac-dot-ink]

Frankenstein’s monster being called just “Frankenstein” is actually poetic justice on a meta scale. Oh, so you’re going to reject your son/creation for fear of God and his hideousness?? You won’t give him a name and only call him “Creature”?? Well everyone forever is going to only remember him by your family name.

How’s that feel Victor?

frankenstein is about self loathing and recognition through the Other. it’s about the original sin. it’s about what we owe to our creations and each other. it’s about internalized homophobia and the monstrosity of a man desiring another man. it’s about Romance. it’s about romance. it’s about playing god. it’s about being transgender. it’s about the absent fathergod. it’s about society. it’s about unethical medical experiments. it’s about gay college dropouts. it’s about a big nasty monster dude who is, and i cannot stress this enough, spooky

the connection between frankensteins monster and a trans high schooler.. you will never understand a warriors bond

I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.

Why am I just finding out that Lake Superior State University prepares an annual list of words that deserve to be banned for overuse.

An actually University. Preparing an actual list. Of actual words that should be banned because they were Overused

“It's definitely disguised as Roald-Dahl-Matilda, yeah. It was kind of like okay, we'll disguise it as speaking to Matilda now that she's all grown up, who's been mistreated by her family, how would you speak to her?”

"I think people have so much guilt with things that they don't necessarily need to have guilt with. It's your right to protect the space around you and be protective of yourself and look after yourself. I think it was a moment where it's not necessarily my place to make someone else's experience about me, but it's just wanting to reassure them that I was listening."

-Harry on Matilda. (20 May 2022)

“It was about an experience I had with someone. The disguise was like: we’ll disguise it as if you were speaking to Matilda now that she’s grown up, has been mistreated by her family etc, how would you speak to her?”

-Harry on naming Matilda after the Roald Dhal book. (20 May 2022)

“It means so much to me.”

“It’s okay for you to take care of yourself over other things sometimes.”

-Harry on Matilda and using the song to remind people of self-care. (20 May 2022)

"nothing about the way that you were treated ever seemed especially alarming till now" because people that hurt you in a way that is not obvious abuse to them will not recognize that they did something until you have a strong change in behavior though they might not even admit they did you wrong at all

[aiwrrys]

it's so important to me that matilda goes from "and not invite your family 'cause they never showed you love" to "you can start a family who will always show you love" because both lines hold such a significance but the difference in them because the "family" in the first line is your blood related family and the one in the 2nd line could be blood related but doesn't have to be because family is who YOU choose and idk it's just so beautiful to me

nothing is worse than software that tells people when I’m online or when I read their message or when I’m typing something. I always want to be as unknowable in my silence as god
