I made my own little head canon this morning of the mindscape, BECAUSE SHE’S TRYING HER BEST OKAY not her fault Hyde keeps doing his fuck-uppery all the time, and the mindscape deserves more attention as a whole, the concept at least.
HC: I think after that whole freak-out that Hyde had during the exhibition and a little bit before it, made the mindscape be COMPLETELY wiped out from everything, all the memories, all the people, I mean we saw what happened to Mind!Lanyon DIDN’T WE????? (RIP whiteboard face Lanyon) Maybe the wipe out sent his memories, the creatures in Henry’s brain, deeeeeeeep down below, like an ocean, it sent a twilight zone spot all the way to the challenger deep zone, somewhere so far and cold that only few can survive. CUZ LIKE- HELLO??? THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MINDSCAPE ERAS??? She was slayin… but then being gay and mentally ill ruined her (RELATABLE!!)
We can see that it was more like a library, as all minds are depicted as, glowing like an aura of heaven in Jekyll’s current view, and all around the areas where the shelves and clutter is, it’s dark! It’s hollow like! You can obviously see the levels, but in the newer pages of the mindscape there’s none of it, it’s all WHITE and PALE, almost like a hollowed out fishbone!
AND IF all the places and ideas were sent to a different place in his mind, a place where Jekyll might not even be able to reach-HOW can he get it back??????? Is there even a way???? Maybe getting rid of Hyde is the solution since now he’s like a cancer to Jekyll’s body. Maybe Hyde is the one who absorbed every bad thing, perhaps even everything, and killing him will be like exploding a piñata but instead of candy. ITS EVERY NIGHTMARE AND MEMORY YOU’VE EVER CONCEIVED SINCE 4 YEARS OLD
We don’t even know ourselves how deep his mind is, it’s almost like the ocean, vast and endless.
