which do u think wld kill a Victorian child more (or faster let’s b honest) - Shririus crabmus or vibemus
ADHHFDH THE NOISE I MADE!!!!
excellent question!
okay so my first instinct was to say vibemus but i think this needs deeper analysis:
I stand by the fact that Shririus is probably the least cursed out of the three and therefore probably least likely to kill a victorian child? Like I am no expert on victorian literature but I'm sure green ogres aren't that shocking to them, the homosexuality might be? But who realy knows? I think Shririus is fine, really.
Crabmus is definitely more cursed. I just googled the dates to get a rough idea and apparently the victorian era is 1837-1901 and the Little Mermaid was actually published in 1837 (coincindence? I think not!) so at least some victorian children were probably familiar with the original fairytale by Andersen. Now I don't remember if there are any specific crabs mentioned in the fairytale but I am going to assume Sebastian was mostly an addition by Disney. But then again stories about people who were transformed into animals and fall in love with people have been around for millenia, so if we're looking at it this way, Crabmus fits into the continuation of themes from ancient greek or roman myths, really is just a continuation of a great tradition/legacy and any smart victorian child would understand and cherish the story for that.
Now, vibemus. Again, another highly scientific quick google search tells me the first vibrator was probably invented in 1869 (amazing) to combat "Hysteria" in women. So (some) victorians also had/knew about vibrators, though under very different circumatances that we do of course. I don't think the average victorian child would know about vibrators though, so for the vast majority of victorian children the concept of a vibrator was probably completely foreign. Also, probably just the concept or sex in general, as I'm sure their sex education was ... victorian. So I think in conclusion vibemus might be the only actual cursed AU on this list, and the one with the biggest chance of shocking and killing a victorian child, due to its modern and sexual nature.
