Doctor Jekyll - Tumblr Posts
Seasonally appropriate thoughts
We don't talk enough(probably cause it's a random ass heck topic) about how much better Jekyll is compared to Frankenstein
Like Dr. Frankenstein is THE mad scientist, but he's not even an actual doctor
Whereas not Dr. Jekyll is
Then there's the whole mad part. Is "Dr." Frankenstein really mad? We know Dr. Jekyll has a bunch of impulsivity, intrusive thoughts, and urges he feels guilty over, and when he becomes Hyde and longer needs to feel that guilty he fucking kills a guy
He beats him to death with his cane
And it should be mentioned near the end of story Jekyll/Hyde kills himself
(side note, but unlike literally every adaption, in the original story Jekyll and Hyde are the same person. Jekyll is Hyde, Hyde is Jekyll. Jekyll is Jekyll as a nice and respectable member of society. Hyde is Jekyll without inhibition)
So what is is exactly that makes Dr. Frankenstein a better mad scientist? What is it? I want to know, because from where I'm standing only one of which is an actual doctor, and seems way more mentally unstable
it’s crazy to think about how the source material can be completely different from the modern portrayals
take Jekyll & Hide, the original novel is about how some guy created a potion to change his appearance so he could do bad stuff. he didn’t have multiple personalities, he was just a guy who knew some science so he was respected for said knowledge but wanted to do things that contrasted the public opinion of him
Dr Jekyll when he can’t run over little girls and do casual murders:
I love the Glass Scientists!

Desmond / Descole as Jekyll and Hyde
Happy Halloween! I’ve worked a lot as of late on this so I hope this looks alright.
This idea has been stewing in my mind for about a year or two with the hope that someday I can make an animatic for it to the musicals music. But I’m happy to have even made just a poster-esc type drawing.
So, I read this book today and I love this poor boy ;-;
