average oscarina reaction to any ojp gif set is like "smashing him with hammers" "putting him in a cage" "spinning him in the microwave" "biting him soooo hard" "committing several crimes for him" "putting him in my pocket" "taking him by the scruff and dangling him around" "keeping him in a special jar" "actually i'm gonna kill him" "actually i'm gonna kill for him" and i think that's very beautiful

realising that my personal interpretation of the creature in frankenstein comes not only from the threat of the “other” and the fear of that which is considered monstrous found in gothic horror but also cosmic horror’s eldritch dread and fear of the incomprehensible and unknowable, and it makes him infinitely more interesting to me on so many levels

the idea that the process by which victor created him was so deeply unnatural and wrong that the human mind/“being”/whatever you want to call it fundamentally cannot comprehend—and thus seeks to reject—his presence is super compelling to me. it could account for the visceral reactions of fear and disgust that we see in the book, in the sense that the creature is so preternaturally ugly that people react the way lovecraftian characters do when they see a shape or a colour that’s not supposed to exist

dgmw i think the “i would simply be nice to the creature and not run away screaming” reactions that people tend to have makes sense when you read the the creature’s treatment as (among other things) a metaphor for prejudice against othered peoples and marginalised groups, which is very valid—nobody wants to think that they’d react so awfully to a person who only seems to long for connection with others.

but i often find myself wanting a bit more than that straightforward response. like, sure, but what if you couldn’t be nice to him, on a fundamental psychological level? what if he was so hideous that every fibre of your being was telling you that the man in front of you, who should be worthy of basic respect by virtue of his intrinsic personhood, was not a person at all, but something else entirely—a threat? what if you were no better than the people who stoned and spurned the creature because your own ancient human response to fear kicked in, against your best wishes?

personally i find that to be a really interesting concept for a horror antagonist, as opposed to simply thinking of him as a sort of strange and spooky but otherwise relatively conventional looking person who people are mean to because of an arbitrary aesthetic evaluation. to me, both his hideousness and his very existence transcend the scope of typical human understanding (with potential exceptions—victor and walton being able to look past everything and actually speak to him definitely Means Something but i’m not getting into all that here) and the inevitability of the fear and hatred that it invites is what’s horrifying, in the end

all of that is not to say that the characters are necessarily correct to feel those things and act on them, even if it’s instinctual, and i don’t think that it makes the creature any less sympathetic (if you’re inclined to consider him that way) or more justified in his own actions, either. but just consider the implications of victor basically summoning a nightmarish eldritch abomination who has to claw and scrape at any sort of link to humanity or personhood he can get and kinda fails miserably at every turn rather than just a kinda-fucked-up-but-maybe-hot-if-you’re-into-that human guy. isn’t that fun! and horribly tragic! yay!

anyway tl;dr hot take i think ugly ass eldritch horror creech is neat

Nobody asked for it, but since I'm one of the many people who was affected by this situation (and I very much need to talk about it because I'm still sad), I wanted to give my five cents about the Madrid ritual getting cancelled with just 4 days' notice.

I want to first start saying that I don't blame the band for what happened, even though I felt very disappointed. Spain has gotten its share of rituals in the past, it's just that I had never been able to attend a previous one. On top of this, the Spanish concert industry is rotten quite to its very core. These last years have been absolute chaos when it comes to anything related to live music (ticket prices, venues, management, resales...). So, no, I don't trust them to fucking do their jobs and guarantee that the concerts will actually take place as planned. Furthermore, I've been to concerts in the same venue where the ritual was supposed to take place and my experience has been far from pleasant (the heat was unbearable, people in the pit was fainting and the freaking band had to ask management to give us water bottles so we wouldn't have a heatstroke).

This being said, was I heartbroken by the cancellation announcement? Fuck, yes. Did I feel some sort of resentment towards the band when I first saw the post? I'd be lying if I said no, even though it didn't cross my mind to leave some sort of heated comment (like the band's ig was Tobias' personal mailbox...... lol). So, of course I don't condone the behaviour of a part of the fandom that only blamed the band for what happened, but I do understand the anger and the frustration. Most of us are working people and we put our money and vacation days to be able to attend the concert. Again, I don't think the band is to blame and I want to believe that they really tried to find every solution possible, even adapting the show (and a show of such magnitude can't be adapted overnight, I'm sure), but I still felt somehow abandoned and, as I've said, heartbroken. And to see people both on ig and tw getting all holier-than-thou telling us basically to shut up about it... guys, we can criticise and be angry at someone or something and still be respectful and admire it. I promise.

Anyways, I needed to vent a little bit, because I've been waiting for years to attend a ritual and getting cancelled when it was within arms reach...... it hurt. But, nevertheless, I still love Ghost and I'm very excited about the new album (can't wait to yap about it). I hope everyone attending the Skeletour gets to have the time of their lives and, if there's any fellow Spanish ghestie reading this (is there any on tumblr?), be patient! I'm sure we'll get our ritual and it'll be the best fucking concert ever 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️
