#Edward Prendick

i hate having the memory of a senile old man but it makes rereading books almost comedic at times
like how tf did i forget that Moreau casually stabs his own thigh to prove a point?

So I started reading the Island of dr Moreau and now i have thoughts about emotional/instinctive and rational/cognitive morality.
Prendick is someone who has a strong emotional conception of morality (suffering when he hears the pumas, but saying he wouldn't if he didn't hear them). But rationally he doesn't care about its suffering.
So what he does to avoid the pain caused by his emotional affection is go away so he doesn't hear it anymore. He doesn't even consider helping.
Doctor Seward on the other hand seems to have little to no emotional or instinctive conception of right and wrong. Instinctively, he sees no problem with feeding kittens to a patient. But rationally he sees the problem, and that's why he doesn't do it. He may not have the immediate instinctive reaction but he has a very strong understanding of what is right and wrong, even though he sometime struggles to act on it.
So yeah i love to the island of dr Moreau shows how an instinctive knowledge of right and wrong doesn't make one a good person, and comparing it to Jack who doesn't have that instinct and still ultimately acts the right way (at least in the absolute majority of situations and more than Prendick does) because he has a rational conception of right and wrong.

Do Montgomery and Edward Prendick from “The Island of Dr Moreau” come into your AU at all?
Since the Au takes place after the book Montgomery is dead and Edward Prendick was eventually institutionalized, his trauma debilitated him to the point he couldn't function in society. He has improved enough to be allowed to live outside of the asylum though he is intensely agoraphobic and requires frequent supervision from a nurse and his doctor, Jack Seward.

Metamorphoses (Ovid) "A series of stories all about transformation, the flesh being reshaped in radical ways. Sometimes the changes are punishments, other times rewards, but all of them are carefully detailed and totally irrevocable. The other main theme, love and lust, plays into the more erotic implications of Flesh. May have played a role in my own furry awakening.
Particularly Flesh-aligned tales: - Erysichthon, a king cursed with insatiable hunger until at last he ate himself - The Minotaur, the carnivorous offspring of a woman who fell in love with a bull - Circe, who turned men into pigs, rivals into monsters, and more."
The Island of Dr. Moreau (H.G. Wells) "A shipwrecked man, Edward Prendick, reaches a sinister island inhabited by notorious vivisectionist, Doctor Moreau. Prendick suspects that experiments are also being carried out on humans, resulting in hybrid forms; however, the doctor explains that he has actually been changing animals into people."

As part of my ongoing agenda to turn Quincey into a cross between Forrest Gump and a kind of one man League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, I now present Quincey’s past adventures prior getting involved with the events of Dracula (all largely thought up on the spot):
Quincey is a good friend of Sherlock Holmes and has assisted the detective on many cases. By Quincey’s own request, John Watson omitted him from his writings to avoid “drawing too much attention”.
Quincey tried to find the lost treasure of Captain Flint, but was disappointed to learn that someone else had already claimed it a long time ago.
Quincey once helped a strange old gentlemen subdue a group of “doll-licks” and some time-displaced morlocks.
He has fought Robur the Conqueror on numerous occasion, to the point that the latter considers Quincey to be his archnemesis.
In Paris, he investigated and later confronted the so-called “Phantom of the Opera” after the latter kidnapped the opera singer Christine Daaé. For security purposes, Quincey’s role in the events was kept secret.
He tracked down and destroyed a copy of the notorious play The King in Yellow.
Quincey took part in an attempt to slay The Terrible Dogfish off the coast of Italy.
A year before the events of Dracula, Quincey rescued one Edward Prendick from being ravaged by wild Beast Men on an isolated island.
In South America, Quincey discovered a plateau that contained a group of still-living dinosaurs. He decided it would be best to not tell anyone what he discovered (he still took time to lasso a T. Rex though).

the island of Doctor Moreau
summary from penguin: "Adrift in a dinghy, Edward Prendick, the single survivor from the good ship Lady Vain, is rescued by a vessel carrying a profoundly unusual cargo - a menagerie of savage animals. Tended to recovery by their keeper Montgomery, who gives him dark medicine that tastes of blood, Prendick soon finds himself stranded upon an uncharted island in the Pacific with his rescuer and the beasts. Here, he meets Montgomery's master, the sinister Dr. Moreau - a brilliant scientist whose notorious experiments in vivisection have caused him to abandon the civilised world. It soon becomes clear he has been developing these experiments - with truly horrific results" things to consider "medicine that tastes of blood"
the experiments are human like hybrids created from the animals done with a process of vivisection (experimental operations on living animals)
Edward survives and is taken home where he can't settle back into the riggers of life after all that he has seen and moved to the country to live in soltitude studying chemistry and astronomy

Wondering how much of our embrace of Dracula Daily & Jonathan Harker can be attributed to Bram Stoker's good fortune of naming Dracula's first POV character something that would work equally well in the 1890s and the 2020s.
Like, if you went to a bar tonight and met a young man named Jonathan Harker who was studying law or working at a real estate firm, you wouldn't bat an eyelash at his name or his profession. You'd just be like "Yeah, this is Some Dude."
So then I think that makes it easier for us to be like "Jonathan is my new best friend! I just got an email from my buddy Jonathan on his wild Romanian road trip!"
Basically I'm wondering whether we'd have the same reactions to Dracula Daily if Jonathan Harker was instead named Basil Hallward, or Geoffrey Utterson, or Edward Prendick (to list some other characters from British novels of the time who unwittingly get mixed up in Gothic shenanigans).

Forbidden Nights Intermission - R.E.D (Crossover, Jonathan X Dracula, Prendick X Montgomery, etc)
Meanwhile, the AO3 version has reached this far that Dracula cast finally properly appeared!
Summary:
Months passed as Jonathan's whereabouts became unknown as he had vanished off the face of the Earth. However, the Demeters' crash onto the shore of Whitby clued in the Noble's Isle group that everything is not as it seems. What other events will be changed from this moment onward? Qill it be for the better or worst? And who will be responsible for it?

Hope you enjoy it!

The Island of Doctor Moreau
Scientifically minded Edward Prendick is shipwrecked in the southern Pacific and rescued by a passing ship. Aboard he meets Montgomery whose destination is an island belonging to Dr. Moreau. Moreau, formerly an eminent physiologist in London whose gruesome experiments in vivisection had been publicly exposed, had fled England as a result of his exposure. Edward tries to understand and survive…

Tagged by @kotenokk to play funny silly tumblr game. I’m supposed to tag 9 people but I’m too shy so I’m just going to answer the questions for funzies
Last song: Fashion - Britney Manson. I love music for whores.
Favorite Color: Purple, but deep Blue is a close second as well as rich Greens. Love cool colors.
Currently Watching: Nothing I am very bad at watching shows. I typically watch informational YouTube videos about natural history OR vlogs from doll collectors cause I think they’re fun.
Sweet/Savory/Spicy: I have a major sweet tooth. But I like them all. Sweet/Spicy is a legendary combo.
Relationship Status: I’m just Sloan. I just sit here.
Current Obsession: Probably The Island of Dr. Moreau by HG Wells. That shit went hard as hell. That book read me back when I was reading it. The unspeakable trauma, exploration of humanity and horror all resonated with me a lot. The biggest take away though, is that I deserve to be in between Edward Prendick and Montgomery ☝️🤓
Last thing I googled: The Nine of Swords tarot card. I wasn’t even doing a reading I was just thinking about that card.

Does Edward Prendick appear in the story or are the crew unable to find out about him because he isolated himself in the country following escaping the island?
Prendick has been getting treatment from Dr. Seward and he's the character that introduces the crew to the Dr. Moreau plot thread. The poor man's health is in shambles and he's traumatized af but manages to hold a conversation, though he tires quickly these days.
