The era of British and American Frankenstein is OVER.
OVER, I TELL YOU!
The next time I see Victor Frankenstein in visual media he better be wearing lederhosen and a funky little felt hat blowing on an alphorn trying to sell me extra strength Ricola that'll raise a man from the dead
"Little fanfare"? I mean, yeah, I guess, if we count the principal celebration here as being "a vicariously enjoyed memeing of the burning of the goat by Americans keeping up online", rather than being the celebration experienced after it burns by the people for whom this celebration is like... in their city. Look: the Gävle Goat has been burned to the ground most years since its first appearance in 1966 -- by 2021, 35 out of 55 goats had been destroyed or damaged in some way (and every year since, it has burned)! Even being generous to certain framings in this post, there have been deeply sincere -- not tongue-in-cheek -- viral news articles and posts by non-Swedish users about celebrating the burning of the goat for probably a decade!
girl help. like to be fair the main characters are two men and tumblr is right they are gay about it but the way nobody talks about klaasje or ruby who are both EXTREMELY plot relevant AND canonically gay about it (things jean does not have going for him) is insane.
