Frankenstein in Kids' Media: Far Out Fairy Tales: Rapunzel vs. Frankenstein by Martin Powell and Omar Lozano (2019)
Frankenstein and the Monster Themselves Or A Parody Of Them: This Dr. Frankenstein is named Ernest instead of Victor and has a monster made out of clay.
Is the Monster Called Frankenstein: The Monster is called Clay.
Is there an Igor/Fritz: Frankenstein has a pet cat named She-Gore. There is a villager called Fritz, but he’s part of a mob against Frankenstein.
Premise: Rapunzel comes to Dr. Frankenstein hoping for something to help her cold, but when Frankenstein brings to life his clay monster, Rapunzel’s hair comes in contact with his life-giving formula, giving it a mind of its own.
Connections to the Frankenstein Novel And/Or Adaptations: Several things in common with Universal’s movies, including a nearby village having a “Mayor Burgo”, referencing the Burgomasters and the Monster coming to life during a storm. Frankenstein using a potion to bring his creature to life calls to mind the novel’s Victor Frankenstein’s interest in alchemy and how that likely played a part in that fateful experiment. Ernest, like Victor, also initially abandons his creation upon seeing what a monster it is, and went to University – though it was the University of Transylvania and he actually graduated.
Other Notes: Plenty of these childrens’ parodies and spin-offs have made Dr. Frankenstein into more of a supervillain, and here he has probably his most stereotypical supervillain design to date, complete with monocle and goatee. Despite this, the title and the fact that Frankenstein replaces Gothel in the Rapunzel retelling, Rapunzel doesn’t really fight him and in fact, saves him from a broken dam. He is still something of a villain, refusing to cure Rapunzel’s sentient hair (which she still learns to love) and of course, locks her in a tower so he can be recognised by the scientific community, but at the end he reforms and even helps Rapunzel, Clay and the villagers in repairs after the flood. Clay is completely innocent as well, so this is another Frankenstein story similar to Del Toro’s before Del Toro’s was released.
Rapunzel is an unorthodox choice of fairy tale to combine with Frankenstein, but given Gothel was an abhorrent mother figure to Rapunzel like Victor was an abhorrent father figure to the Monster, so it’s no wonder Rapunzel and Clay become fast friends. Despite the end of the book running through the similarities and differences between this story and the original Rapunzel, this is more Frankenstein than Rapunzel, or at least the popular culture interpretation of the Frankenstein story, given that it yet again ends with the villagers storming Frankenstein’s castle.
Ah, I had forgotten that in the original novel, Victor did have a brother named Ernest, one of the few surviving characters of the novel! And Ernest's descendant was the main character in Our Hideous Progency!
More about the character here:
What happened to Ernest Frankenstein? He ultimately slips away from Shelley's narrative. Here are some books that explore his unknown fate.

Thank you so much!
important info for those reading awful hospital for the first time/rereading it and want to see the comments!!!
What happened, unfortunately, is that disqus comments were tied to page URL, but then my hosting service updated to where it always automatically removes the ".html" when you view a page, so disqus thinks that's a different URL and there's no setting to change that
Also, if you want to see the comments under Creepypasta Cookoff entries (like if you're an author there and want to reread the comments people put about your work), put the ".html" after the "creepy[year][storytitle]" bit. Like, look for "creepy16thescarything" and change it to "creepy16thescarything.html".

Diabetes isnt the 'ate too many sweets disease'. It just fucking is not. It's your body slowly losing an integral function needed to nuture and energize it. Its your pancreas shutting down, its your blood cells rejecting your attempts to feed itself, its not enough insulin to go around. Its you slowly getting colder and weaker, gorging yourself with healthy food and getting next to no benefit, its being so exhausted you cant sleep. Diabetes used to kill, straight-up KILL. So no, I don't think I will be laughing at your diabetes joke.
Do you know why diabetics eat so many sweets? Because we need sugar, and we need sugar FAST. Everyones' bodies rely on sugars for nutrients and energy, and in a non-diabetic body sugars get absorbed at a normal rate using your normal amount of insulin into your normal red blood cells. This happens to healthy carbs, superfood vegetables, and some proteins!
Diabetics dont have that luxury! Without medication, our body is in a constant crisis where we need more sugar and the sugars that break down the fastest are sweets! But then they dont all get absorbed, then the unabsorbed sugar hangs out in our bloodstream then gets flushed out, and then we still need more. All those healthy things break down too slowly for when we're in a crisis, and then we STILL dont absorb all of it! And I'm only talking about type 2, type 1 cant absorb anything at all because they dont have any insulin!
You cannot healthy eat or diet your way out of diabetes. You cannot lose weight out of diabetes. Once you get diabetes, even if you manage your symptoms perfectly you HAVE diabetes. You have a chronic illness. And that means its time to see doctors, get on medications, and practice self care.
And sometimes self care means you eat dessert first while dinner is cooking so you have the energy to finish cooking. Sometimes that means eating many small meals to match your body's absorption rate. Sometimes that means eating at midnight so you have the blood sugar to sleep.
Im just tired of diabetes being seen as a joke or only something you get if you're 'bad'. And diabetics? I love you, talk to a nutritionist about diabetic eating, and don't forget your meds.
THANK. YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I’m not a Diabetic, but I’m pre-diabetic, I’ve been pre-diabetic since I was 10.
I cannot tell you how much shame and self hate and anxiety I’ve had in my life over the fear of getting Type 2 Diabetes.
I cannot count how many times I’ve heard people make jokes about getting diabetes. Jokes about “wow that’s gonna give me diabetes”, jokes that tie in being Fat with being Diabetic because “Uh oh you ate too much sugar and carbs and junk. You’re fat and eat too much junk so therefore you’re probably diabetic!”
There is an DANGEROUS level of Fatphobia that comes from misinformation about Type 2 Diabetes, jokes about Type 2 Diabetes and just the general stigma of it.
You know that it’s not just from eating too much carbs/sugars? People who suffer from traumatic events can also have a spike in their blood sugar and can get type 2 diabetes that way. It’s also very genetic in nature - not everyone is bound to get it just because they eat a lot of carbs.
People need to be aware of how it works, and type 2 (and type 1 I ain’t forget about yall) deserve so much more love and respect then they’re given, beyond just being a punchline.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
i need all the help i can get for finals
Hey so
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
I could use some luck
This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years.
If you reblog her picture within the next twenty-five seconds you will have good luck and fortune for the rest of your life.
I reblogged her late last year and my 2024 has been very satisfying work-wise and (secure enough to not stress out) money-wise so far. Money Snake is wise and good.
always reblog money snake
what they dont tell you about adulthood is that it’s startlingly easy to go long periods of time without having any fun at all not even a little bit. btw this causes ur brain to try to kill you with knives and hammers.
Yeah the thing is, when you're a kid, there are often a lot of people going out of their way to make things fun for you: parents, other family members, your friends' parents/families, adults at school and at community places like libraries...and that's on top of your friends your own age, and the general fact that as a kid having fun is one of your top priorities.
And then if you go to college, there aren't quite so many people making things fun for you--although there are RAs, and the student life office, and various clubs and organizations doing activities, etc.--but you're in an environment where your friends are nearby and you all have similar schedules and responsibilities, so a lot fun just kind of arises spontaneously.
But once you're out on your own, in the workforce and whatnot, all that just drops of a cliff. Planned activities for adults exist, but you generally have to seek them out, rather than having them relentlessly advertised to you and/or taking place in locations where you will bump into them on the way to breakfast. And your friends are all spread out, and everyone's busy at different times, so you aren't just bumping into people and getting sucked into whatever adventure they have going on, you have to make arrangements.
It's a big shift! If you have kids, you generally figure out pretty quick that your role is now the Planner Of Fun, but without that big obvious signpost, it can feel like the world just gradually stopped having fun things in it.
But it hasn't; you just have to plan and seek out opportunities for fun yourself, because it's no longer anyone else's job to put them in front of you--it's yours!
TL:DR, when you're an adult you've got to take yourself to the aquarium and pick out a plushie in the gift shop and pay for it with your own credit card; you don't just wake up one day and find out that's happening. (Or that it's a have-dinner-on-a-picnic-blanket-in-the-living-room day, or that you're going to your cousins' house where you can splash around in the creek and look for frogs, or that's it's the day when we put the speakers in the window and let the music echo in the alley down below while we wash the car, or anything!)
“I don’t know what my goals are, no. Thanks for asking.”

Frankenstein in Kids' Media: The New Woody Woodpecker Show: Frankenwoody (2001)
Frankenstein and the Monster Themselves Or A Parody Of Them: Woody’s nemesis Wally Walrus plays Dr. Wallystein and…there’s no Monster. Closest thing there is to the character is when Wally’s badger sidekick quotes Lurch from The Addams Family.
Is the Monster Called Frankenstein: Again, no Monster.
Is there an Igor/Fritz: The badger seems to be in this role.
Premise: Again seeking shelter from a storm, Woody ends up at the castle of Dr. Wallystein where pizza delivery fox Inga Smorgasboard falls in love with the little bird. A jealous Wally uses a mind-exchanging device to put his brain into Woody’s body and win Inga’s heart.
Connections to the Frankenstein Novel And/Or Adaptations: None really other than a mad scientist concocting a dangerous experiment, and the expected castle and Igor analogue.
Other Notes: Most childrens’ cartoon versions of Dracula get the basics of the novel right; the hero visits a vampire’s castle, the vampire attacks the hero and enacts an evil plot, the hero stops the vampire. Dracula’s powers and weaknesses – turning into a bat and mist, no reflection, aversion to garlic – is almost always present. Kids’ toon versions of Frankenstein, however, usually have nothing to do with Shelley’s novel aside from an artificial monster, and this version doesn’t even have that. The only justification for using the Frankenstein name is because all mad scientists were inspired by Victor in some way, and without the book, we probably wouldn’t have villains creating shrink rays and time machines.
Frankenstein in Kids' Media: Woody Woodpecker: Franken-Stymied (1961)
Frankenstein and the Monster Themselves Or A Parody Of Them: An unnamed mad scientist and his own version of the Monster – a robotic chicken plucker.
Is the Monster Called Frankenstein: Halfway there; the Monster is called Frankie.
Is there an Igor/Fritz: No, but the scientist sounds like Peter Lorre, the go-to impression for most Igors.
Premise: Seeking shelter from a storm, Woody races for a sinister castle, only to find it’s owned by a scientist who wants to test out his humanoid chicken plucker on Woody.
Connections to the Frankenstein Novel And/Or Adaptations: Frankie looks like a more robotic version of Boris Karloff’s portrayal, there’s a homage to the classic “It’s alive” scene and at the end, turns against his creator.
Other Notes: This is not a Monster made of flesh and cobbled body parts, but of metal and gears, and is one of the most, for lack of a better word, robotic versions of the Monster. Had he gained sentience, he might be angrier at his creator than the original Monster for dooming him to a life of mindless plucking and making that his sole purpose. Nothing else worth mentioning other than the nicely rhythmic sounds Frankie makes while moving.
There’s another Woody short – “Monster of Ceremonies” - which features a mad scientist and a Karloff-esque monster. In this case, though, the Frankenstein Monster is what Woody turns into only briefly, and the scientist’s goals are dissimilar enough from Victor’s that I feel it shouldn’t be included in this series.
