Dr Jekyll - Blog Posts

Callout to hydj.

Hydj is an artist in the Glass Scientists fandom. They made Jekyll x Hyde art. They support Trump, calling him a hero. They also believe that it would be better if trans people were dead, despite enjoying and making fan art of a trans person's work. This behavior is not acceptable and people should stop interacting and supporting this person.

Jekyll: I love dogs who are obsessed with licking people. "This human is pleasing to me, I have to put my tongue on it".

Hyde: Dogs treat us like we treat cool rocks.

Jekyll: Your relationship to rocks is apparently very different than mine.

Ma boi

I kin mad scientists so much i am this close to actually robbing graves in my local cemetery.

Just saying, Stevenson is 100% projecting his guilt on his very liberal views (for the time) and finding a way to cope with the religious trauma of how he was raised and disappointing his father.

He’s making the personification of Edward Hyde devilish to show that he feels he is a monster who disappointed his father. Even tho he doesn’t want to care about what his father feels.

Also just saying Hyde writes with his left hand which was seen as a sign of the devil during this time

I’ve been reading a lot of 19th century literature ever since Nosferatu(2024) came out and I’ve gotten to The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

But as I’m reading this, I don’t think Edward Hyde existed at all

From how Dr. Jekyll writes this account he seems to be fully in control and observant as opposed to a passenger in his own body

The only different is this drug he is taking is freeing him from religious inhibition. (the Calvinistic belief that you must deprive yourself of pleasure because it’s sinful.) but because the drug makes him look younger, he’s using it as an excuse to personify the “sinful” urges he has and rid his conscious of blame

Tumblr is now going to be my outlet for talking about books

Some more artwork of Henry Jekyll, wearing a corset based on this advertisement for men's corsets circa 1880 as I quite like the more natural shape of it:

Little drawing of what I imagine Dr Henry Jekyll would wear when out and about on the streets of London.

Featuring very important plot relevant cane that was canonically a gift from Utterson.

So, The Glass Scientists by Sage Cotugno is one of my absolute favourite Jekyll and Hyde stories and I would highly recommend it.

It has the same tone of lighthearted silliness mixed with genuine tragedy which I loved about the original novella

I gives Jekyll and Hyde both ample screentime so you get to see both of their perspectives, and get to know them both as people

It doesn't play the "Jekyll's pure good, Hyde's pure bad" card, which I appreciate

The character designs are great and Hyde's facial expressions are priceless!

It keeps in the queer narrative, which is a major part for many people reading the novella but I haven't seen other adaptations do it very well

It has a werewolf, and he's a very nice and sweet young man

And it's Webcomic, so it's free to read on the internet!

Another sketch of Dr. Henry Jekyll.

Every time I draw my design for him he seems to become more of a "tall, fine build of a man" and I think Robert Louis Stevenson would be proud XD

Let's see how many people I can get to join me in the "Henry Jekyll is a strawberry blonde" club.

Another sketch of Henry Jekyll, M.D., D.C.L., L.L.D., F.R.S., etc.

The combination of his bewildered expression and me listening to the Jekyll and Hyde musical in the background while drawing this made it so that about 40% of the time it looked like he was just really unsure if he was being flirted at XD

Just a little sketch of Henry Jekyll.

Dr. Henry Jekyll "a large, well-made, smooth-faced man of fifty, with something of a slyish cast perhaps, but every mark of capacity and kindness"
