You're welcome! The story is small, something like "A Strange Case..." about 100 pages. I recommend reading the translation by Arvil Pyman. (the meaning of jokes and puns is successfully preserved there)

There is also a Soviet film adaptation of the same name in 1988. (The film is available on YouTube with English subtitles) There is a well-chosen cast of actors.

And I'm drawing the image of Sharikov from this movie, hehe.

Sick awesome Jekyll and Hyde illustrations by Gary Kelley

It’s been a while since I shared some illustrations! (Leik 2+ years…) BUT! Ive been meaning to collect and share these because they are irritatingly hard to find…and lowkey! One of my favorite styles I’ve seen Jekyll and hyde illustrated in.

I really like that first one in particular, (which was the first one I’ve ever found) the gesture is great and I just had it rotting in my camera roll for the longest time until I rediscovered his work <\3!

BUT FR… I literally had to use tiny eye to retrace the image because I lost the artist, it was embarrassing. Anyhow, I dug these up from his Instagram and website, but they do not seem available anywhere else. Not even a printed edition of wherever these are from! a bit unfortunate but oh well vro…

I also just genuinely enjoy his art sm…

Link to his gallery, as he’s selling the original of the first and has some more artworks for those who r into art

there is something SO funny with like. okay so listen i know a major criticism of the original 1937 snow white is that our titular character is very passive in the film. she just kinda lets things happen to her. which i understand as a criticism despite that kinda being the Basic Fairytale Structure. i get it. i do. esp since her main thing is wishing for someone else to come get her. which i've defended in the past as not explicitly anti-feminist since she's literally an abuse victim child who has been made to take care of an entire castle solely by herself and blah blah you've all heard me fistfight for this movie before

all that to say. it's really funny to me that the snow white reboot that nobody cares about has given her a new #feminist anthem but called it "waiting on a wish." in contrast to "i'm wishing." they changed it from the active tense to the passive. they made it more passive than it was initially. and again i know it's just a Title thing, that the og "i'm wishing" is also her being passive. but it's so funny. and so lowkey symbolic of the disney reboots' failed Updating™ of the source material. that they changed the active tense to passive. in trying to make her more #girlboss. am i making sense

Got a favorite dwarf? Adriana Caselotti replies: "Grumpy. See he really wouldn't let anybody know, but he really loved Snow White but he was the one that was going to show that he hated the whole world...but he always had a wink in his one eye, and I knew that wink was there."

Oh, yes, I almost forgot.

Professor Preobrazhensky is played here by ‼️Max von Sydow‼️

Not Vincent Price, of course, but nevertheless...

Poster for the 1976 Italian film "Heart of a Dog" ("Cuore di Cane").

Yes, there was another film adaptation of this Bulgakov novella. In the German box office, the film is called "Why is Mr. Bobikov barking?" ("Warum bellt Herr Bobikov?")

I agree!

The petition is for the Russian version of Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Edward Hyde to be called Доктор Геннадий Димитров и господин Эдуард Пряткин.

(Dr. Gennady Dimitrov and Gospodin/Mr. Eduard Pryatkin)

Пряткин = прятаться = hide = Hyde

Petition to make the German names of Jekyll and Hyde Doktor Imord (I mord- i kill) and Mister Värsteck (Versteck- Hide- Hyde)

The Rorschach-, or Inkblottest was introduced by swiss Phsychoanalyst Herman Rorschach as a method of determining a patient's personality traits based on their interpretation of random, abstract, symetrical inkblot images

What do you see in them?
