I want. I want Victor Frankenstein to drink hot chocolate.
Vector Frankenstein.
Original:
HOW DARE THEY NOT SAY REANIMATED?? THIS IS A DISGRACE.
The science gay has returned.
Frankenstein AU where the Creature, upon returning to seek terrible vengeance on Victor after realizing the tragic existence he's been forced into, takes a few days extra to actually, you know, observe Victor and see what he's like, to learn how best to enact his revenge. And he comes to the conclusion that, "Actually, I don't need to do anything, this idiot's going to ruin his own life without any outside interference, and I kinda wanna see how he does it."
Victor then proceeds to continue with his previously demonstrated levels of making good life choices, while now also constantly looking over his shoulder for his Creation and having the vapors at every little thing because oh noes, it's The Monster come back to Get Him-!!!
The Creature: (watching all this unfold through binoculars like it's a soap opera while sneaking in to help himself to Victor's larder and library when he feels like it, and also occasionally hiding small but vital objects, like Victor's keys or shaving blade, in weird spots in the house) Wow, it really does take an incredibly smart man to be quite this stupid, doesn't it?
Like, here's how I think a conversation with these two would go:
Victor: So that's how my whole life was ruined by a vile monster created by my hand.
Prometheus, currently chained to a rock in the middle of the sea so dipshits like Victor could progress and think for themselves: ... I wonder if the eagle can peck out my brain this time...
Ok so hot take, but I don't like the phrase "Modern Prometheus" when describing Victor Frankenstein. Because unlike Victor, Prometheus actually cared about his creations (humanity) and sought to protect them (gave them fire). And when he was found out by Zeus, he took responsibility for his actions, but didn't apologize for doing what he thought was right. Sure Victor created life, but he abandoned it for looking at him funny.

Goddamnit Victor, just because your a genius in science doesnât mean your a genius in other aspects of life!
Father and Son
I wanted to show the sheer scale of the creature compared to the average height of people in the Victorian era, so I drew my take on Victor! And, yes, I did use Timothée Chalamet as a reference because no matter what Guillermo del Toro would have me believe, Victor Frankenstein is a skinny, dehydrated college rat in my mind (this was intended as a complement to Timothée I truly think he would crush this role).
Iâd just like to share this warning I came across on Wikihow...
victor frankenstein is very gay and in love with his best friend henry clerval, in this essay i will-
All the cute nicknames Victor Frankenstein called his son throughout the book:
catastropheÂ
miserable monster
demoniacal corpse to which I have so miserably given life
an ugly mummy
a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived,
the filthy daemon to whom I have given life
no human
the wretch whom I had created
sight tremendous and abhorred
unearthly ugly being
too horrible for human eyes
miserable head
vile insect
abhorred monster
wretched devil
you, whose joint wickedness might desolate the world
too horrible for human eyes to behold
the filthy mass that moved and talked
wretch whom I dreaded
villain
monster of my creation
fiend
figure most hideous and abhorred
+ bonus - all the cute ways captain Robert Walton described Victorâs son on 1 page:
a form which I cannot find words to describe
never did I behold a vision so horrible as his face, of such loathsome, yet appalling hideousness
tremendous being
scary and unearthly in his ugliness
Tag yourself Iâm âthe filthy mass that moved and talkedâÂ
Victor Frankenstein
...
another 1 hour screencap redraw this time from the 1931 Frankenstein film
this how that one conversation went btw
thinking about how victor was so horrified and disgusted by his creation because when he animated it, it didnât instantly heal itself. thatâs why the creature was so repugnant to himâhe was mismatched moving parts, lacerations sewn shut. when victor created something, the open wound of his motherâs death didnât instantly heal itself.
I love your art!!
