The Glass Scientists...Midnight Predictions?
Pupy and his creatures hath returned and I immediately wanted to start this week’s predictions after last week’s page. If the tgs tag wasn’t so cozy I might have made like seven different posts by the time this Sunday. As it stands I feel like if I do more than three posts a week I’ll end up swallowing everyone else’s hard work because of the frequency. These posts are long because I still have some restraint left in me to wait...but then I spend way too long on this post and Monday rolls around...whoops. So now this is...a Glass Scientists MIDNIGHT Predictions post!!!
Anyway tailors are scary and they scare me, but I wonder why Jasper’s a little frazzled at the thought of them? Also Jekyll what are you doing with Jasper’s collar? Are you straightening it or loosening it? I hope its the latter because my child must be set f r e e. F R E E H I M ! ! !
After exploring these questions regarding tomorrow’s page I’ll be talking about Jasper’s immunity to the nightmates. Last week I actually came close in predicting that Jekyll can still concentrate on doing productive things like helping Jasper, but last page reminded me of what makes Jasper unique in the story as well as my predictions made for this chapter as whole. It also reminded me that Jekyll’s desire to be depended upon is going to be even more prominent now than I thought, and its going to get worse before it gets better. Hopefully it gets better. Please let it get better Miss Sabrina.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you this one was going to be long folks.
Tomorrow’s Page Predictions (Ch. 8, Pg. 8)
Tailoring Troubles
I feel I need to acknowledge the elephant in the room here: Jasper is queer. This isn’t up for debate. Sabrina made it very clear that almost everyone in The Glass Scientists is Bi, and she specifically referred to Jasper and Jekyll as queer. I don’t think its much of a stretch to assume Jasper doesn’t feel great about being measured because of this aspect of him, which he might not be proud of yet and is also scared of what might happen if that part of him is revealed. Not to jump the gun here, but maybe Jasper calling himself a monster in Chapter 2 wasn’t in reference to him being a werewolf.
“I’m not a real scientist! I’m not even a real human anymore! I’m...just a monster.”
“Just” meaning “what’s left for them to be,” and not “what they’ve become.”
However I’m not going to get into specifics as to why Jasper’s identity plays into his fear of tailoring here, because I think that requires us knowing more about how Jasper actually identifies, which at this point in time is still pretty vague. So instead I’m making a list of all the other reasons why Jasper might not want to meet a tailor.
Tailor might judge him for his usual attire.
Tailor have long snake-like ropes that wrap around you that don’t have cute doggy faces so whatd the point I ask of you.
Tailor might make comments about Jasper’s body like, “oh nice collarbone,” or “you could lose some weight a bit here,” and it might be a nice gesture to ease tensions but don’t
While being measured Jasper is scared breathing will mess with the measurements and consequently almost passes out.
Jasper has a bunch of bites and scratches all over his body due to his creatures (plus the werewolf that bit him) and he thinks its fine and normal but the tailor might faint in horror.
If tailor accidentally pokes him he might jump out of his skin and attach himself to the ceiling.
Jekyll wht r you doin?
While Jekyll is making Jasper uncomfortable at the mention of tailoring he is doing something that would make me uncomfortable in Jasper’s situation. Don’t just go messing with other peoples clothes, Jekyll! Especially when its around their neck! Anyway what he’s doing with that bow?
Option 1 - He’s rearranging the bow to make it even - alright fair, but he should have warned Jasper first! I feel like a PTA mom ready to call the principal.
Option 2 - He’s removing the bow altogether - F R E E H I M. In Sabrina’s blog waaaaaaaaay back when one of the sketches introducing Jasper showed him sitting down looking like he just went through a sauna and is giving the dopiest look. I feel like releasing him from the bow prison and being able to take a full breadth would give him the same feeling. Listen we got the Hungry Jasper we will get the Dopey Jasper!
Option 3 - He’s replacing the bow with a bow that might suit him better - No keep it off let Jasper be f r e e.
Option 4 - He just wants to play dress up - I’M CALLING YOUR MOM!!!
Option 5 - Jekyll doesn’t have the chance because Jasper backs away at the thought of tailors - You win this round uneven bow.
---
General Predictions
Before Chapter 8 started I predicted that Jasper would join the Concerned for Jekyll Club. I was also going to add that if Jasper does try to show concern for Jekyll, Jekyll would hit back that concern and center it toward Jasper. He wants to help and fuss over Jasper, and NEVER wants that help and fussing over to be geared toward him. Being fussed over implies he has a problem. Jekyll doesn’t have a problem, Jasper has the problem! That’s why he needs to help Jasper, see? Its important they keep that dynamic, otherwise Jekyll would have to confront his own issues and that’s just not as fun.
And what do you know: Lanyon, who is a professional Jekyll fusser-over, is deeply affected by the nightmates, but Jasper, who’s still preoccupied with his own worries, isn’t. Hyde said so himself-
“Jasper’s the only person left who isn’t yelling at, gossiping about, or relentlessly fussing over Jekyll. And that’s a problem.”
Now Hyde’s not mad at Jasper here, because this has nothing to do with Jasper and has to do entirely with Jekyll’s perception of him, which is as a reprieve, or to put in the Broadway show Wicked’s terms, a “new project.” He’s a opportunity for Jekyll to practice his hobby, like a office worker getting the chance to write a few extra pages in his novel about snails. And a novel about snails wouldn’t ask its author to take a break now would it?
Jasper’s not targeted by the nightmates because he hasn't done anything yet to change Jekyll’s view of him. He’s a nice young man who has agreed to be a respectable mad scientist under Jekyll’s wing. Both parties get something out of this arrangement, and there is no possible way for this to go wrong. Easy peasy...
So How Does This Go Wrong
For me, there’s three ways for Jasper’s nightmate-free bubble to burst: Jasper confronts Jekyll, Jasper is negatively affected by Jekyll’s attention, or Jekyll is forced to recognize how dependent he is on Jasper’s need for his help. Here’s how we could get to any of these points-
Jasper Starts to Put the Pieces Together - I still have my money on Jasper being more observant than he lets on, but is easily distracted by outside situations or inner fears. If Jasper starts to remedy these self fears he might have a moment to register how Jekyll is much more enthusiastic about helping him than he is with, say, helping a sick elderly mad scientist up in the attic. Or how Jekyll looks at his fellow lodgers and Lanyon versus how he looks at Jasper. Or how Jekyll doesn’t seem to do have anything else to do on his free time. Oh he still treats Frankenstein and go to important meetings, but if Jasper asks what Jekyll does on his off-time would Jekyll give him that same blank-eyed stare he gave him in front of his door? I don’t think he’d be creeped out right away, but he might start to think that Jekyll needs to like, sleep or something...
Lodgers Gossip and/or are also Worried - The Lodgers gossip about Jekyll, that’s pretty clear from Hyde’s comment, which is why they’re affected by the nightmates. And what’s this? Jekyll seems to concentrate an awful lot on Jasper. Why is that? I think there might be a mix of Lodgers who will gossip about Jasper alongside Jekyll, Lodgers on Team Frankenstein who want to bring Jasper on their side of the playing field or at least out from under Jekyll’s “respectable” thumb, and maybe Lodgers who realize that Jekyll treating Jasper like his personal therapy tool is, like, bad and want to either tell off Jekyll or tell Jasper this isn’t a great situation. Jasper might not see it as a serious issue, but he might be inclined to start doubting it.
Lanyon Confronts Jekyll on it OR Tell Jasper About Jekyll’s Situation - Hyde’s annoyed at Jekyll being around Jasper basically because Jasper’s NOT doing things that Lanyon would do, which is hilarious given how much Hyde tooootally hates Lanyon. So wouldn’t it be funny if Lanyon was the one to burst the bubble? Anyway there’s a likely chance that Lanyon will notice how Jasper seems to be the only Lodger who doesn’t see Jekyll stressed, because he doesn’t realize that he’s the de-stresser. And if he does than Lanyon will have to first go, “Really Henry, ANOTHER werewolf!?” and then go, “How do I handle this situation in regards to Jekyll’s problems, not to mention finding Hyde?” He might find issues with their dynamic (n-not that he’d be jealous or anything! b-b-baka!) and tell Jekyll he should probably take a break, or tell Jasper he needs to refuse Jekyll’s help every single time he offers it, because it could hurt Jekyll in the long run. He could also try to set aside his concerns and use it to his advantage. Jekyll doesn’t seem to want Lanyon’s company or answer his questions, but maybe if Jasper asked questions Jekyll would be more willing to give answers, even if its not truthful answers. I do a lot of predictions centered around problems Jekyll, Jasper and Hyde have, along with a little bit of Rachel’s flaws, but I think I might talk more on Lanyon’s faults as well at a later date.
Frankenstein - Just Frankenstein. That’s it. That’s all it takes. I’ll leave you to imagine how she’d affect the situation.
---
Okay I need to stop here. I might come back to the topic later because it involves Jasper but for now I think it filled my quota. I hope you enjoy this while we wait for tomor...this morning’s page.
And since this is a midnight post...
That’s it for this midnight prediction. Now go to bed!
