“you’re dead.” (another Frankenstein thing) (o/o) (I am baiting the gothlit nerds out there, come hither)

Okay so I have this wild AU that I wanna expand on. The basics of it are this: Victor Frankenstein decides to not abandon his creation and instead raise it in a house in the middle of the woods, cut off from all human contact except a few surrounding nomads in the countryside and of course, a few other characters who may come into play later on. But not all is as it seems, and perhaps Victor would have been better off having left his creation to die.

So yeah major TW for mature content, but there will be no explicit sex in this. However, there will be such topics brought up as the nature of Victor and Elizabeth’s relationship, extreme violence, unhealthy relationships, unethical science and its consequences and suchlike. I will be playing Victor in this, and basically every other character unless you decide to bring in an OC or something about those lines. You will also be playing the Monster, from the beginning of their “birth” to the moment of their possible death. Have fun, and stay safe!

(Uh I hate to be annoying but I need fwiend so boopity oopity?)

(May I stalk?)

(Yeah! Do you know anyone who might want to join? Because I’m desperate to flesh out this AU here.)

(I don't blame you! It sounds so cool! I'm not sure, but I can ask around!)

(I would tag a few of my friends to see if they were open but I don’t want to be rude… I don’t fully understand all of Notebook etiquette, sometimes people tag others for certain RPs and sometimes it’s considered really rude? So idk.)

(I think it really depends on the person, I usually just tag people if they've asked to be tagged or I'm letting them know something.)

(Oh okay. Yeah, makes sense. Idk I just think Jyn/Eva might like this one but also I’m not sure if I should be tagging people out of the blue.)

(Ah makes sense. Idk, I'm not very good at tagging people lol)

(Lol me neither. I think I’ll just post this in the RP announcements forum and see if anyone takes the bait.)

(That's probably a good idea lol)

(Honestly if nobody else joins I would ask you but I’m not sure if that would be irritating or not.)

(I'd love to! I just figured since we have so many rps you might be getting bored of me lmao)

(Oh I’d never be bored of you! You’re like leagues better at writing than me. Also, sorry for kinda but not really almost dropping some certain RPs, I’m just,,,, I’m tired but I have a lot of Frankenstein brainrot. I am hyperfixating so hard it hurts. I have not hyper fixated this hard since the new Doctor Who came out. Ahhhhhhhh-)

(Hey, hey, there's no rush to replying! Take as much time as you need!! It's okay to drop them too, just let me know lol. It's perfectly okay. Sometimes we all just need breaks, and sometimes we're not in the mood to rp something. Also Doctor Who is amazing. I've been recently introduced (i had no childhood) and I absolutely LOVE itAlso hearing you like my writing means a lot, I've been trying to get better lol)

(I’ve kinda always admired your writing ever since we first started roleplaying together. So, how familiar are you with Frankenstein? If it’s as far as the OSP video you’re probably okay, but I do recommend it as a read if you haven’t read it already because even though it starts slow it’s actually pretty good. I just need to know how familiar you are with the source material so I can write this in a way that makes sense, lol.)

(That made me smile so much. Usually I just try to write like a fantasy narrator or an elegant demon lol. As for Frankenstien I read the book for Ap Literature and I LOVED it. Mary Shelley really knew her stuff. I need to read it again, but I remember the basics. It was so well written, I need to read it again.)

(I just got a new copy of it today because my old one is so battered and the cover is pretty. So yeah, cool, how should we start? When the creature is created? Or somewhere else?)

(Hm, do we want to start it when the creature is created?)

(Hm, do we want to start it when the creature is created?)

(That makes the most sense. Also, baby creature is peak vibes.)

(Like. Just learning about the world. Everything is so new and beautiful and horrifying, and you don’t know how to cope. So you learn. And you grow. And become.)

(I couldn't have worded it better. I love writing characters coming to life lol. Describing it just means more creative processes)

(Aww, thanks! Should we use templates, or just jump in for this one?)

(Jumping in could be fun! Are the characters altered at all because if not, I don't really see the point. Also, are we going based off the fact that the monster is the victim, or are we turning them into the actual villain?)

(Honestly, I don’t see them becoming anything but slightly maladjusted to social norms of society because they’re getting the smallest level of support required from Victor and honestly my theory is that creature=tall baby if they’d just gotten the proper love and support they needed. But mayhaps a tragedy will befall and turn the monster into, well, a monster. Who knows.)

(Sounds good! Would you like to start or shall I?)

(And the characters are altered in the sense that they just. Kinda have different dynamics and canon, I guess, but not beyond what Mary Shelley wrote for established background.)

(Sounds good! Would you like to start or shall I?)

(I can!)

(I’m writing the starter now so if I don’t respond that’s what I’m doing.)
