Just imagine. Also, they’re all freaks, so you can also say ‘unrealizable narrator, the creature is deeply insecure in his humanity’ and say he’s also hot!!

😔 I did think about that. The only time he’s mentioned as handsome is when Frankenstein is making him, but I think that is because he was so proud of his creation, making him unreliable in that moment bc he ugly af

Since you’re the only other person ik who’s reading it, did you also think Robert Walton lowkey highkey fell in love with Frankenstein?

Yknow, I feel like there was a moment when I thought that, but I can’t remember what it was. But I can see it. I mean, to write out the entire journey of a stranger in a letter to his sister is a little excessive. I think Walton was very fond of Frankenstein at least. Granted, who couldn’t admire such a wonderful mind? (Quoting Walton there)

Walton and Frankenstein were gay as fuck. Thing is Walton was writing his sister or whoever being like “I have found my husband”. Whereas Frankensteins like “one last fling before I kill myself and my creation”.

I’m so glad I’m not alone. I always see people calling Frankenstein gay for making a man, but I have a whole list of every time Walton compliments Frankenstein eyes or voice or intelligence or calls his beautiful and that feels even gayer to me
