A while ago a friend of mine got into an argument about Frankenstein and was told that the Creature “can’t be judged by human standards” so nothing he did could be held against him. If a human did all those things, sure, it would be evil, but since the Creature isn’t human, then the blame has to land elsewhere.

And good god I can’t imagine a worse way to miss the point. Mary Shelley is SO vocal about her feelings on society and justice and structural failures in the story, and draws the reader’s sympathy to the Creature despite the blood on his hands. She draws attention to how he met neglect and cruelty in his formative years and how this directly led to him turning to violence and cruelty himself.

She frames it as a heartbreaking tragedy that makes you yearn for a more forgiving society with more support for those who are struggling. The heightened drama and fantasy of it takes you by the hand and leads you to a very real-world application: What if a human was neglected and raised in cruelty, but then got caught up in crime, even violence? What if we offered them understanding, what if we did our best to prevent the cruelty and neglect in the first place?

Imagine throwing all that out the window because it all comes down to human vs nonhuman, as as soon as the framework changes it’s “well of COURSE if a human did that they’d be evil, but we can’t judge the Creature by human standards.”

something something donna and ten and casual platonic intimacy. naps on the couch. hugs. arms over shoulders in that annoying way of someone who is taller than you.

me when the antagonist trusts the love interest so much that they let their guard down around them and they're vulnerable and suddenly you realize they're actually really sweet and touch starved......... and they laugh and make jokes and smile and OUGHHHHHAHAAA

Literally so upset rn

Like a huge chunk in the episode he's so separated from his self image

By the glass

And having his choices shown to him by a projector on that window

Literally look at him interacting with the projector version of him and the way he's just overlayed into the graduation ceremony

And then accepting the projections and the truth of his own actions BECAUSE YEAH HE DID DO ALL THAT OF HIS OWN FREE WILL

But also the white window holding a memory of the kiwi caper

And then that stupid ass test going

He sees

Darkness->authority-> carmen?? She shouldn't be here she is good! It's not her nature

And then

She breaks that window where he's been constantly coming to terms with who he is

Breaks that sucker, obliterates all the evil bs in that building and the window and

This is his expression

then they said YOU in particular will obsess over this forever over this. Because I

Thrice the window thrice she interrupts thrice with the understanding she is a force for good

And in this particular episode how that force of good affects HIM by existing when he thought it shouldn't or doesn't in HIM

I cant-
