Obsessed with how Irving acted in the most recent Severance episode and how it was clearly his past expirence in the military that influenced the way he acted. How he immediatly started thinking about food, his paranoia, his obsession with figuring out what was wrong with Helly, the fact that he immediatly went to waterboarding Helena to use her as leverage. Him calling her the “mole” it’s so great. He doesn’t even know why he’s doing it, why he’s acting this way but he can’t stop it, he can’t control it, it’s a part of him. His emotions and trauma and experiences are a part of him even when the memories aren’t and I love how obvious it was during the whole episode the same way Mark’s grief over Gemma is still felt by Mark S.

Today's my birthday and it also means that I've officially had this account for 10 years. I may not post here much but I'm too sentimental to actually deactivate

You know the thing about Frankenstein media that I hate is how the creature is portrayed physically. It's always some ugly green guy with visible stitching and screws in his neck. In the actual story, the creature is beautiful. Victor spends months curating parts for him, ensuring he is as gorgeous and symmetrical as possible. He is meant to be an Adonis. The only thing movie get right is that he's very big; I believe in the text he is 8 feet tall. But he's no lopsided brute wandering around with neck spikes! He's a beautiful man of enormous size, whose only ugliness is his existence. Victor doesn't recoil from the creature as he creates him because at that point the creature is nothing but a handsome meat statue. It's not until he imbues it with ungodly life that the creature becomes something horrid, repulsive, unnatural.
