Just saying, Stevenson is 100% projecting his guilt on his very liberal views (for the time) and finding a way to cope with the religious trauma of how he was raised and disappointing his father.
He’s making the personification of Edward Hyde devilish to show that he feels he is a monster who disappointed his father. Even tho he doesn’t want to care about what his father feels.
Also just saying Hyde writes with his left hand which was seen as a sign of the devil during this time
I’ve been reading a lot of 19th century literature ever since Nosferatu(2024) came out and I’ve gotten to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
But as I’m reading this, I don’t think Edward Hyde existed at all
From how Dr. Jekyll writes this account he seems to be fully in control and observant as opposed to a passenger in his own body
The only different is this drug he is taking is freeing him from religious inhibition. (the Calvinistic belief that you must deprive yourself of pleasure because it’s sinful.) but because the drug makes him look younger, he’s using it as an excuse to personify the “sinful” urges he has and rid his conscious of blame
Tumblr is now going to be my outlet for talking about books
sexting mutuals will cure me

A Future Beyond War Starts With You 💙
My name is Naser. War took everything from me—
my mother, my sister, my home, and the life I once knew.
In a single moment, my world was shattered,
leaving behind only memories and the weight of loss.
But even in the darkest moments,
I refuse to give up. ✊
Because I still have something worth fighting for—
my three younger brothers.
🔹 One dreams of becoming a doctor 🩺—to heal others so they don’t have to suffer like we did.
🔹 Another wants to be an engineer 🏗️—to rebuild what war has destroyed.
🔹 And the youngest? He just wants to be a kid again 🧸—
to wake up in a safe home 🏠,
to laugh, to play, to feel peace.
🏡 We need a home. We need education. We need hope.
Right now, we are not just fighting for survival—
we are fighting for the chance to live, to grow, to dream again.
We are fighting for a future where my brothers
can become the doctor, the engineer,
and the child who gets to have a childhood.
💙 This is where you come in.
I’m not asking for much—just a chance.
A chance to rebuild.
A chance to give my brothers a future beyond war.
Your support—whether through a donation or simply sharing our story—can make all the difference.
Even the smallest act of kindness can create ripples of change. ✨
🙏 Will you help us rebuild?
Together, we can prove that war doesn’t get the final word—
hope does.
Thank you for standing with us. 💙✨
i don't usually do this unless it's absolutely dire </3
as of april 1st, i'll be staying in my home country where the tension between Lebanon and Israel is really escalating by the day with a risk of war happening. I'll, hopefully, be staying for a maximum of a month or so to renew my passport (and my mom's and sister's) and I'm really really in need of some financial help.
I'll be handling the passport renewals, food, transportation, and rent (and that's minus the bills and the extra pocket money for emergencies). I'll need as much help as I possibly can to support both myself and my mom and sister.
My flight would be on APRIL 1ST and i'd need the money 3 days prior just so I can transfer them into cash to take them with me. this is so so so important and basically my life depends on it as we never know if a war is gonna break out while we're there or not -- and it's making me utterly anxious.
Any donation helps! PLEASE reblog this and consider helping me out! I'd really appreciate it!! 😭🩷
if you want to donate via paypal directly, please send me a message and I'll give it to you!

You can’t see this, but you have the cold, calculated demeanor of someone not to fuck with.
Someone animate John and Author to “A Mask of My Own Face” by lemon
