How do you think, how much Boris Karloff monster could develop intellectually? In one hand, reanimation could make him stronger and smarter as well, in other hand, his brain could affect his abilities.
The main difference between the book Creature and the film version, is that Boris Karloff's Monster was given an abnormal brain. It's emphasised quite a lot. We're given the impression that the abnormal brain is the main reason the Monster acts like he does, why he can never be allowed to live and is killed off at the end of every movie.
In the book, however, the brain is never mentioned (as far as I recall), so it's safe to assume that there is nothing wrong with the brain Victor gave his creation.
I'm certain that the Monster in the film would never have been as intelligent and calculating as book Creature because of the way he was portrayed. If he was placed in an ideal situation where he was allowed to live a relatively normal life without being killed off every once in a while, he probably would've continued to grow mentally as a person, learned to speak better and related to people better. However, I feel that he would never have been like a "normal" person, due to how he was "born" and because his brain works differently to most peoples'. He probably would've always had learning difficulties and interpreted things differently, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have developed further intellectually.
For the purposes of this discussion, I've chosen to ignore the fact that Ygor's brain was transferred into the Monster's body in "Ghost of Frankenstein", I'm only talking about the Boris Karloff version with the original brain.
I like to think that both the book and movie versions would've become good, kind people who could've contributed a lot to society if they'd been allowed the chance.
unstoppable force (you’re bleeding out and will most definitely die if medical attention isn’t sought immediately and the door is open. the door is open and you can leave) vs immovable object (the way his jaw feels beneath your hand and the way his voice sounds begging you to stay and the way those things will surely haunt you for the rest of your life if you leave. if you live. the door is open but his hand is wrapped around your wrist and you can already see him behind your eyes every time you close them and
any freminet crumbs? personally i kinda think he’d be a little crazy like his older brother lyney,, it’d just take a harder push for him to give into his urges
Freminet strikes me as the silent observer type. He's sweet on the surface, but he's picked up a few nasty tricks and habits from Lyney. Freminet doesn't mean to stalk you; really, he's just so...fascinated. It's so difficult for him to put his love for you into proper words because he's just so breathless every time he's near you. He feels so warm and shy when you so much as look his way, and he'll often spend time at the bottom of the sea to decompress and escape his embarrassment (though he's often plagued with more flustering daydreams of you). Escaping to the sea is his version of screaming into a pillow. He's just so overwhelmed; he doesn't know how to approach you, and he dreads confessing. He just can't! It's too much. No matter how many times he practices on Pers, he can't muster the courage.
Freminet is a sweetheart, so he'd never want to hurt or frighten you. This is why he watches you from the sidelines, taking pleasure in the shadows. You shine so brightly when you aren't paying attention to him. He's just happy you even bother to exist near him... He doesn't deserve to be in your presence. If you were a god, then he is merely the ground you walk on. He worships you and everything you are. Lyney often likes to meddle, pushing you and his little brother together in hopes that Freminet will finally tell you his true feelings. It leads to more embarrassing mishaps than actual confessions, but it does bring you and Freminet closer together. It creates the wonderful thing known as inside jokes, which you often bring up when you cross paths with him. Freminet is mortified you'd remember, but then another part of him is flattered to know you think of him. Maybe he isn't so insignificant in your life as he once thought.
Freminet has patience (though mainly it's because he's too scared to admit his feelings to you), so he'll play the longest waiting game ever, choosing to drown in dreams of you. Sometimes Freminet likes you more than he likes himself, an obsessive trait he's picked up from Lyney. He can't help it; you're just so perfect. Everything you do, even your flaws and shortcomings, are perfect and beautiful to him. He wants you all to himself. You may think he's not nearly as severe as other yanderes, but Freminet is an "if I can't have you, no one can" yandere. He refuses to let you slip through his fingers. He loves you too much; you've brought so much light into his life. You stamp away his inner demons like they're nothing. You are a savior, a beauty, and a wonder all in one. He can't let anyone have you. He won't.
He thinks about confining you to the sea. He could find some way to put you in a glass box or construct a little home in which you can live freely but forever trapped. It's possible, and no one would ever know where you went. It will be a magical disappearance. Lyney's been teaching him how to make things disappear. He can do it if he's really determined. He keeps his secrets close and his infatuation even closer to his chest. It's as Lyney always says: the most devastating secrets are often the nastiest, so dress them up or hide them well. An obsession like this is all kinds of wrong, but you must understand that Freminet only wishes to love you. He won't cause you pain or stress, and if he does he sincerely regrets and apologizes for it. But this must be done. Sometimes a little pain is necessary before pleasure, much like how after a brutal storm there is a glorious rainbow (as Lyney once said).
Sometimes Lyney gets in his head, saying things like, "If you sit idly by, you'll miss your chance," or "Maybe I should try my luck with (Name). I wonder how far I'll get..." and then Freminet is so worried about asserting himself so that Lyney (or anyone else for that matter) won't steal you away. Though he's kidding (mostly), Lyney just wants to push Freminet in what he thinks is the right direction. But sometimes he fuels the obsession, gifting Freminet a ribbon of yours or a ring he's swiped from you whilst showing you a magic trick and Freminet treats these fragments of you like they're the holiest of all things.
No matter what happens, Freminet knows you're the one for him. Even if you look at him with disgust, even if you despise him for what he's done, he will continue to love you, for his adoration is as wide and deep as the sea; and he will drown you in it. You don't know it yet, but you'll love him, too. Soon. One day. He's hopeful.
Until then, he watches, a quiet, secret admirer whose love is tangled and twined with something dark and obsessive.
thinking about how alike and different and close and distant lyall and remus are. i am flesh from your flesh but there is a little part of me that was torn apart and that i will never get back and it’s your fault. you are my son and i will never be able to love you again without a trace of guilt, after i know what i’ve done to you. sometimes i wish i wasn’t your son and sometimes i wish i wasn’t your father, even if i love you, but i will never tell you that. i can’t bear to call you my da anymore. the word is foreign on my tongue, i have to look for another one, another one, that doesn’t make me feel this connected to you. you are my son; we are strangers. i write to you daily but your mother is the only bridge between us and i do not know what will happen to us when she leaves. we’ll fall apart, probably, and whose fault is that? mine, father; mine, son.
MRIs involving the eyes are terrifying because like- what is this. you're telling me this is human?? it's not some sleep paralysis demon that's going to stare into my soul and suck it out through a straw??
no wonder the eye is the basis for so much horror media.
I have visual snow syndrome and this is what it looks like irl if anyones interested
It gets worse in times of stress and in the dark, i also see light images? (Not sure how to describe this) like if im looking at something and look away i still see it, kind of like if you stare at a light and look away you still see it. (This is called Palinospia and can come with Virtual snow syndrome) Virtual snow syndrome is more common in males and is also more common in people with Anxiety, ADHD, Autism spectrum disorder, Depression, Dyslexia, Fibromyalgia, a history of hallucinogenic drug use, Migraine with aura, Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, Tinnitus, or a traumatic brain injury (TBI) It also can cause light sensitivity, kaleidoscope vision, and photopsia. The nerve cells in the brains of people with visual snow syndrome may be too responsive to visual stimuli. These very sensitive nerve cells mistakenly send signals to the brain. The brain interprets them as real images. I have asd and visual snow syndrome, if you have visual snow syndrome im curious do you have any of the things its common in, and which symptoms do you have?
