Henry Jekyll - Blog Posts

FGO中心まとめ | みそかつ [pixiv] 

So I was listening to the Jekyll and Hyde musical the other day and during Transformation I realized that some of the effects of HJ-7 sound oddly familiar to those of contrast.

For those who don’t know, contrast dye is used in MRI’s, CT scans, and other procedures to make certain parts of your body be more visible on the scan.

As for it’s side effects, there’s the normal ones and the dangerous ones, like there is in most medicine.

One of the normal side effects of contrast is a feeling of warmth through your body. (This would be the ‘warm in the gullet’ line).

Some of the negative side effects can include nausea, cramping, itching, and difficulty to breath. (Light headedness, breath taking pain)

I’m not going anywhere with this I just thought it was an interesting coincidence.

Jekyll: I love dogs who are obsessed with licking people. "This human is pleasing to me, I have to put my tongue on it".

Hyde: Dogs treat us like we treat cool rocks.

Jekyll: Your relationship to rocks is apparently very different than mine.

Jekyll: I’m fine.

Lanyon: breaking every mirror in the house as if you’re scared of your own reflection is not fine.

Jekyll: shut.

Jekyll: Selfcare is drinking highly toxic chemicals right out of the anti-contamination beaker whilst letting the darkness that dwells within the depths of your soul overtake you.

Lanyon: No.

Jekyll: Slurp.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!! bite with great love

(beloved naughty boy..)

Ma boi

I see a lot of aus of tgs, and i think we need more ,so here im giving some ideas for aus because im too lazy to write them

THE SCIENTISTS CATALOGUE

"Some creatures called the alternates start appearing more and more in the world, Englad is not a exception."

So basically an au crossover with tmc. Where the society tries to survive the alternates(and maybe some died trying too). Other ideas could also be Hyde being an alternate and killing the lodgers one for one or Jekyll dying saving the lodgers from an alternate who enter the society and becoming a ghost.

EPIC X TGS

An au where the characters change places with the characters of epic the musical. Jekyll being Odysseus and Lanyon being Penelope or reversed, Hyde being Hermes, Frankeistein being Athena, Jasper or maybe a child fan oc could be Telemachus, and the rest you can decide.

And thats are all the aus i could think of, if i think of more im gonna post it, bye 👋

I kin mad scientists so much i am this close to actually robbing graves in my local cemetery.

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

Some more artwork of Henry Jekyll, wearing a corset based on this advertisement for men's corsets circa 1880 as I quite like the more natural shape of it:

Little drawing of what I imagine Dr Henry Jekyll would wear when out and about on the streets of London.

Featuring very important plot relevant cane that was canonically a gift from Utterson.

So, The Glass Scientists by Sage Cotugno is one of my absolute favourite Jekyll and Hyde stories and I would highly recommend it.

It has the same tone of lighthearted silliness mixed with genuine tragedy which I loved about the original novella

I gives Jekyll and Hyde both ample screentime so you get to see both of their perspectives, and get to know them both as people

It doesn't play the "Jekyll's pure good, Hyde's pure bad" card, which I appreciate

The character designs are great and Hyde's facial expressions are priceless!

It keeps in the queer narrative, which is a major part for many people reading the novella but I haven't seen other adaptations do it very well

It has a werewolf, and he's a very nice and sweet young man

And it's Webcomic, so it's free to read on the internet!

Another sketch of Dr. Henry Jekyll.

Every time I draw my design for him he seems to become more of a "tall, fine build of a man" and I think Robert Louis Stevenson would be proud XD

Let's see how many people I can get to join me in the "Henry Jekyll is a strawberry blonde" club.

Another sketch of Henry Jekyll, M.D., D.C.L., L.L.D., F.R.S., etc.

The combination of his bewildered expression and me listening to the Jekyll and Hyde musical in the background while drawing this made it so that about 40% of the time it looked like he was just really unsure if he was being flirted at XD

Just a little sketch of Henry Jekyll.

Dr. Henry Jekyll "a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty, with something of a slyish cast perhaps, but every mark of capacity and kindness"

PRETTY MEN

This is how the comic ends, I will accept nothing else /j

Fluff fluff fluff

I’ve gained a spark of motivation and cooked up these silly little guys, I will go rot forever now thank you.

(Please I want these two to be super duper happy they deserve the world, I need more fluff of them. I desperately want my little skrunkles to smooch again pls🙏🧡)

I made ✨more✨

Hyde’s self appointed job when in shadow form is to make Jekyll think he’s low on sanity when he’s really not (so kinda like canon DNKDKCWKXK-) except he doesn’t do it to take control (mostly).

He just does it to fuck with Henry.

Idk Don’t Starve is in my life again and my friend mentioned small things Henry and Wilson have in common so… TGS Don’t Starve AU ig

Also bonus Wilson. For Funsies!

:3

im back at it again with the same au

the goose incident gave Jekyll nightmares for weeks dhfbdn

One reading of what Mr. Utterson suspects the possible relationship between Jekyll and Hyde, and the 'ghost of some old sin', might be is that Hyde is his illegitimate son, but between Hyde entering through Jekyll's back door (literally and metaphorically), Utterson having a nightmare of Hyde breaking into Jekyll's bedroom while he's sleeping and forcing him to do his bidding in the middle of the night, and thinking of shenanigans around Jekyll's bed a second time, another theory he might have is that Hyde is Jekyll's secret lover, either estranged or ongoing, and between those two possibilities, the latter would be far more dangerous to Jekyll in social and legal terms if it were to be discovered or used to blackmail him.

For historical context, the novella was published in 1886, though as we will later find out, the only information we are given about the temporal setting is that the story is set in the 19th century, though it can't be any earlier than 1850, if you do the math based on Jekyll's age. Homosexuality between men in the UK in the form of sodomy was punishable by death until 1861, during which the Offences Against the Person Act was passed to amend the penalty for sodomy from death to a minimum of ten years in prison; later, and just prior to the novella's publication, the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885 criminalized any and all acts of homosexuality between men (not just sodomy), including those done in private with no witnesses — even a mere affectionate letter would suffice as evidence for prosecution — to the point where it became known as the Blackmailer's Charter (source); this would later be the act under which Oscar Wilde would be found guilty of 'gross indecency' in 1895 and sentenced to prison.

Meanwhile, it wasn't uncommon for upper-class men to have illegitimate children, and while potentially scandalous, it would not necessarily be life-ruining — though of course, the concern in that case could be that Hyde has other information he is holding over Jekyll's head as blackmail, including possible relationships with other men that would be both scandalous and illegal during this time period.
