It Would Be Better If Disney Made A Remake Where Snow White Falls In Love Not With The Prince (or The

"Is it a magazine? Is this a teacher?"

"Heck no, this is my daddy-o Preobrazhensky. Bormental, you fucked me up with the Rorschach tests for schoolchildren!"

what is preobrazhensky doing there

Do you think that, under different circumstances and expectations of each other (and a lot more compromising), Preobrazhensky and Sharikov could've gotten along?

It sounds like an option for a separate AU or fanfiction. But it seems to me that this is not possible in principle. Personally, I like how tense and comedic their relationship is in the book. And here their main confrontation lies not only in the fact that this is a struggle between the Creator and his Creation, not a struggle between the middle and lower classes, but a struggle between two identical and domineering characters. None of them compromise. So Sharikov teases Preobrazhensky for a reason, calling him humiliatingly "daddy-o" (this is a more correct translation of the word "папаша" into English, I heard this translation in an audiobook). Both of these characters are very stubborn. So I think their ideal relationship is to live separately and preferably as far away as possible.

AND ALSO, WHAT THE HELL IN THE FILM ADAPTATION, THEY SOMETIMES SIT ON THE COUCH IN THE SAME PRETENTIOUS WAY.

Why is Polygraph Polygraphovich Sharikov doing work on the topic:

"The most famous headcanons about Edward Hyde in goth lit fandom"?

Just imagine Mr. Hyde doing all this shit.

THEIR BEHAVIOR IS IDENTICAL!!

Damn, it turns out that a terrible disease called "twinkification" also affected Comrade Sharikov in the 1976 film adaptation.

Why...

It's the same shit as it was with Edward. WHY...

Two scientific abominations walk into a bar...

@bedbabayka-art Tumblr has eaten your ask for some reason, forgive me, but it was basically a little prompt on what if Sharikov and Adam met (aka Preobrazhensky's monster meeting Frankenstein's monster lmao)

So I've had a little comic in the making and for quite a long time lol. This is merely a silly wip, I'll put up the second half soon after!

Little dump of unspecific gothic literature headcanons, feel free to add your own:

- Adam's favourite animals are birds, especially sparrows and robins

- Victor has had asthma since childhood and has conducted multiple attempts for a more effective homemade treatment

- Jekyll and Hyde both like classical music. Former is a big fan of Mendelssohn and Bach whereas the latter prefers Liszt and Paganini

- Holmes' comfort piece on the violin is Caprice No. 24

- Jekyll is NOT a morning person. But his profession and status requires him to be one

- Sharikov has the flirting skills of a wet sock

- Also the fancy taxidiermied owl doorbell in Preobrazhensky's hall? He promptly destroyed it a second time once he was already human

Maybe it's somewhere in the novel but how old is Dr. Preobrazhensky anyways? He's always struck me as mid 70s, but maybe his hair was just greying early on lol

Some of the characters have ages listed in the book. Preobrazhensky is 60 years old. And yes, as I remember, the story says that he has gray hair, a bushy mustache and beard.

there is something SO funny with like. okay so listen i know a major criticism of the original 1937 snow white is that our titular character is very passive in the film. she just kinda lets things happen to her. which i understand as a criticism despite that kinda being the Basic Fairytale Structure. i get it. i do. esp since her main thing is wishing for someone else to come get her. which i've defended in the past as not explicitly anti-feminist since she's literally an abuse victim child who has been made to take care of an entire castle solely by herself and blah blah you've all heard me fistfight for this movie before

all that to say. it's really funny to me that the snow white reboot that nobody cares about has given her a new #feminist anthem but called it "waiting on a wish." in contrast to "i'm wishing." they changed it from the active tense to the passive. they made it more passive than it was initially. and again i know it's just a Title thing, that the og "i'm wishing" is also her being passive. but it's so funny. and so lowkey symbolic of the disney reboots' failed Updating™ of the source material. that they changed the active tense to passive. in trying to make her more #girlboss. am i making sense
