So when playing through Rhythm Doctor for the first time, I noticed that Dr Edega fits into there! And then act 6 tells us that his first name is Gabe, which also fits that!

So now I'm replaying through Rhythm Doctor, and encountered his theme, which either I forgot existed, or wasn't in the game until recently

And. Would you like to know the notes of the melody XD

"Big ass bouncy ball with big ass feet"

Gonna post the art without the rant here too, tldr; I don't like the new megas so I tried making one of my own

what the people want, the people get

you see

my professor’s take is that mary shelley is feminizing victor throughout the novel, as a way of flipping gender roles and putting a male character through female experiences.

evidence as explained:

victor is creating life. he is putting his health at risk (spends two years with little sleep or socialization) to bring life forth into this world

his illness after he is shocked by the creature coming to life is akin to both ‘hysteria’ and postpartum depression

he pretty much swoons, let’s be honest

henry clerval, a man who has been characterized as manly and heroic, has to chase after damsel-in-distress victor and care for him as he convalesces 

afterward, he hides what he did and went through, for fear that others will label him crazy and emotional and not believe him. sound familiar?

Victor in general is more emotional than the other characters and is constantly tempering his reactions to not be seen as irrational 

the book does not otherwise have central female characters 

Also, Shelley’s mother died in childbirth. It’s interesting, then, that Shelley presents the creation of life as something horrific and damaging. She parallels Victor with her mother.

Sometimes things don't work out like they do in my head though, this took me three attempts to get close enough to what I'd envisioned 😅 Still not perfect, but happy to get this idea out of my head and out there, hope y'all like it!
