The Real Monster, Frankenstein

The gift of life he gave, but not the wisdom for living

Hiding behind the veil of illness, ever deceiving

No, he is not a doctor, only a concoctor

A creator, yes but also a deserter.

Frankenstein’s scientific endeavor has come into fruition

This is the result of his virulent ambition;

A blasphemous violation of the rules of nature

He worried himself sick, for his creation was a failure.

When the creature finally opened his eyes

He was docile yet denied, downright despised

But everything was new, and oh, so fascinating

He ventured into society, unaware of what was awaiting.

He loved many a thing;

Walks in the forest, foraging and even reading.

He learned to hate many a thing;

Like pitchforks and torches, and the sound of screaming.

The poor creature cried, he could not understand

Everywhere he went he was condemned, cursed, and damned

Why was he born,

If only to be scorned?

“Acceptance and love is all I need...

Yet thou hast drivest me from joy for no misdeed,

No misdeed of mine,”

Wept the creature of Frankenstein.

“You are but a hideous monster, bereft of the divine,”

Answered Frankenstein.

“Then I ought to act as such, if that is how I am to be defined”

Said the monster of Frankenstein

Carry on, Carrion

Every single one of you is the same

Choking on brain matter every 2 am

Wishing you had cartilage for hearts

Or more machine and less flesh for parts.

You only close your eyes to wince

When the throbbing in your temple begins

Almost rendering yourself half-blind

In pursuit of validation at the cost of your mind.

You've chosen numbers and prestige as your vice

Digging a rusted scalpel into your unblinking eyes

Radioactive glass pouring poison in your brain

Achromatism melting sulfur in your veins

Self-inflicted optical torture

Trying to please authoritarian vultures

Feeding off of your demolished dreams

Scholars, work till you vomit on your screens

Haven't you noticed? You are a walking pile of carrion

Carrying yourself through a concrete jungle

Trudging through the endless labyrinth of Asterion

Squandering years pursuing honor in a frantic tumble.

My Dostoevsky Collection so far, minus the ones I read online cause I'm just a broke college student living in a cramped room with its yellowish, cracking paint with only termites for company.

Randomly posted a note at 1 am and woke up today realizing how good it looks with Dostoevsky and his cunty bow.

hey sorry your boyfriend said that russian classics are about that life is bleak. yeah he meant dostoyevsky and tolstoy. no, he didn't look beyond any of the lowest lows of the stories. he didn't even see the overarching themes of beauty and hope and connection. frankly we have all been laughing about him and we're gonna beat him up now. sorry

My tryhard aesthetic bookstagram era

Now I don't even try any more, which is more fun for me.

Imo these are the big 3

I shouldn’t have deleted all my pics of when I was reading The Secret History. Should've made this blog sooner, I could've had a place to just dump all those pics.

I miss nights like this...but Leo Tolstoy gave me the nastiest reading slump. And so I'm making this bookish blog instead of reading.

Dostoevsky fan art...why he look like that tho

[wormsareallthatsleft]

Got my 7th Dostoevsky book

Authors that I own the most books of are Dostoevsky and Daphne du Maurier and Yoru Sumino.

[wormsareallthatsleft]

Got a bunch of new books. Decided to grab some H.P Lovecraft even though I don't usually gravitate towards that genre

[wormsareallthatsleft]

I was so happy when we were assigned to read The Aeneid for school. (We don't usually do that, not in my country and small af college in some small af province in the middle of nowhere)

[wormsareallthatsleft]

Daphne du Maurier + summer because I love reading her stuff even tho they're pretty creepy and would be perfect to read during the spooky months. Maybe her books + summer nights are just my ❤️‍🔥💋

Reaching for a book first thing in the morning has got to be one of my favorite things to do

"I curse my stars in bitter grief and woe,

That made my love so high, and me so low."

~William Blake~

Made this account to have somewhere I can just keep all my literary stuff like my pictures of books, my fave quotes, and just random thoughts about my current reads. Maybe even my own poems. This is like, my way to keep this stuff in one place instead of just floating around my phone gallery.

Anyway

My favourite poet is William Blake, obviously, and I'm writing this here so that future me has something to look back to since this is the only book I have on William Blake right now. I would be so happy to get a copy of his Poetical Sketches in the future since rn it's not available in my country🥲
