rules.  /  about. 

you never named me, victor. you never gave me what little humanity every person is owed. i understand that there are 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐒 that should be forgotten and erased from history — but even HURRICANES have names.

the creature be like ‘yes i murdered three people and indirectly caused the deaths of three others but has anyone considered how i feel’

i know some brands get annoying w memes but sparknotes never fucking misses tbh

heads up to my lovely new followers!! since this blog is so plot-based, i tend to be much slower and more selective on here. i am much more active on my oc, @aleximedicus, and he’s also an easier character to interact with, since he’s not an eight foot tall undead monstrosity. you’re more than welcome to find me there and pester me on that blog if you would like to interact.

EVERYONE GO LOOK AT THIS DRAWING OF THE BEING IMMEDIATELY

potential ways your muse could meet the being. if you’ve been around a while, you know i’ve gotten quite tired of too many interactions boiling down to ‘muse stumbles across the being in the woods.’ i don’t want to put all the pressure on other people to come up with scenarios, so i figured i’d write up a few basic ways our characters could come into contact. and please remember, too, to take the being’s appearance into consideration when we discuss how they’ll interact. i certainly don’t mean to police your character’s reaction, but after writing the being for... way too long, i have come across too many characters who just want to ignore the fact that he is a literal eight foot tall hideous monstrosity. just. take it into consideration. anyway. 

i. as much as i joke about it, i am actually interested in the idea of the being finding some way to interact through the internet. the veil of anonymity that the internet gives could be really interesting to explore. email penpals! meeting on some weird forum! who knows!  ii. if you’re feeling an early 1900s vibe, i am always up for circus / performer settings. a lot of the shit at these early circuses was either straight up hoax (like the monkey torsos glued to fish butts as ~real mermaids~) or blatant commodification of normal human beings, so the being definitely stands out as... an actual monster. your muse can be a fellow performer, a worker in the circus, a guest, etc.  iii. the being helping your muse out similar to the way he helped the de lacey family in the novel, secretly doing little chores like getting firewood or shovelling snow from the path. your muse could start leaving notes / gifts out for the person helping them, the being could leave notes in return, etc. works best with rural muses, probably.  iv. similar vein of anonymity, could do something with the being getting injured or ill and genuinely needing help. leaving cryptic notes at someone’s doorstep asking for medical supplies but insisting on remaining hidden. up to you whether your muse will continue to help him while he remains anonymous or try to sleuth out who needs help and why.  v. if your muse is a scientist or historian, we could fuck around with them finding Proof™ of the being’s existence through frankenstein’s notes / work and trying to track him down.  vi. shit set around halloween. is it february? yes. do i care? no. i’m very into the idea of people seeing the being around halloween, recognising how horrifying and unsettling he is, but just automatically accepting that it’s a costume because it’s halloween, dude, sick costume, that makeup must’ve taken you ages, how did you make yourself look that tall, vii. full-on league of extraordinary gentlemen or penny dreadful shit. let’s just go balls to the wall. dump a bunch of supernatural / classic lit stuff in a blender and see what the fuck happens.

okay so,,, tentative plotting call. reminder to please thoroughly read my rules before liking. 

sometimes i feel unsure if my joking about bee in modern settings ending up basically verbally shitposting is too out of character and then i remember that his canon reaction to frankenstein’s meltdown of ‘ew oh my god you’re so ugly i can’t even look at you get out of my sight’ was to put his hands over frankenstein’s eyes sarcastically and continue talking so like,

bee: i wish i could join society bee: gets a smart phone and goes on facebook for five (5) minutes and learns about qan*n and anti-vax bee: i no longer wish i could join society
