I always call him Adam. Since in the book he says “I ought to be thy Adam” to Frankenstein and giving him a real name feels more right than calling him a monster or “the creature”

All the misery from the novel could have been avoided if Victor had just decided to be a good father.

Or just…didn’t play god and tried to revive the dead

@@majathemajorakid9313 Nah, I think Creach would have been mostly find with a bit of love and care.

Ahhhhhh thank you so much!!!! 🥺😭 it makes me so happy when people not only like my new stuff but also rediscover my older art and still like it even years later T-T

Wow that was a while back, I made that animatic when I was in the ninth grade I think?? So happy you enjoyed it enough that it stayed in your memory 🥺😭

In the original 1818 version of the novel, Elizabeth had dark hair and dark eyes. In the 1831 revised version (the more popular version of the story) she was blond with blue eyes. I chose her original traits because I personally think she looks cuter this way lol!

@@tart-miano I honestly thought she was blond in both versions until now. Now it makes sense to see her with dark hair and honestly it does look cute.

That's Elizabeth and Clerval. When Victor and the creature ran away to the mountains to live in peace away from people trying to attack them, they brought Elizabeth and Clerval with them so they wouldn't have to live apart (also in this au Victor isn't in love with Elizabeth but loves her like a sister, and actually romantically loves Clerval which is why he's showing off his engagement ring at the end)

@@tart-miano Oh that's so sweet only I'm a little confused on the last part. You mean Victor and Clerval romantically in love or Elizabeth and Clerval.

@@auroravieracorral1458 Victor and Clerval lol, sorry, I guess I typed that in a weird way X'D

@@tart-miano Ah ok thanks. I love all 3 but Victor and Clerval being together is just wholesome and sweet.

Ok, SO- I remember that during the process of making the animatic, I spent of couple of days doing my research on how to translate a select few paragraphs I'd written into French. Because I am. not that good at French. But I'm pretty sure I still fcked MANY things up, french speakers feel free to throw tomatoes at me bc its pretty terrible- i'm such a big dumbdumb, idk WHY i didn't just settle for making all the text in this video in english?? ig i was REALLY confident in my abilities and thought i could make it more realistic and *so cool* by adding in french (since this was the characters' native language in the original novel) but. i'm not as smart and resourceful as i thought i was, hhhhhhhhh i hate this so much now with that context out of the way, here's the french text in the video, and what it was SUPPOSED to say in english. oofoofoof ... *FRENCH:* (1:07) "Joyeux anniversaire Victor ! J'espère que vous passez chaque heure avec celui que vous aimez. Le moment venu, et que vous êtes prêt, prenez l'anneau central et proposez à Elizabeth." -Bisous, Mère - (1:33) "De retour a Geneve, ma famille adore cheri William, et bien qu'il soit un enfant gate, il me manque, ainsi que tout le monde a la maison." - (3:26) Je suis desole, je ne peux pas expliquer pourquoi mais je dois y aller. Je ne pense pas que nous nous reverrons un jour, mais sachez que je suis heureuse de cette nouvelle vie que j'ai trouvee. -Victor ... *ENGLISH:* (1:07) (Victor's mother sends a birthday present to her son at some point before she passes away, a clock surrounded by two statuettes; Leto, goddess of motherhood, and Prometheus, the father of man. An engagement ring is embedded into the clock's face) "Happy birthday Victor! I hope you spend every hour with the one you love. When the time comes, and you are ready, take the center ring and propose to Elizabeth." -Kisses, Mother - (1:33) (What Victor has written in his diary that the Creature stole before running away from him) "In Geneva, my family loves "dear William", and even though he is a spoiled child, I miss him and everyone at home." - (3:26) (Victor, leaving a goodbye note behind for his father, as Victor is escaping civilization to live in the mountains with the Creature. It's short, almost curt as this version of Victor thinks little of his father after he pressured him to marry Elizabeth, something Victor had no interest in doing) "I'm sorry, I can't explain why but I have to go. I don't think we'll ever see each other again, but know that I'm happy with this new life I've found." -Victor

The Prometheus statue is such a cool detail!! I didn’t even realize
