This gorgeous design is by @arythusa @glass-scientists ! and I found the peice to be very tattoo worthy.
I absolutely adore The Glass Scientist! and I thank my friend who suggested it to me.
I couldn't be anymore proud of how it turned out, it hurts like a bitch! but so worth it.
PS: was the shy anon that asked for permission to use one of your designs.
Thank you so much!
I think Hydj might be obsessed with me.
Yeah, this dude is a weirdo. This guy claims to hate trans people, but wants to date me? He tried sending messages but I turned them off so they can't message me anymore since I don't follow them. Now they're following me.
Callout to hydj.
Hydj is an artist in the Glass Scientists fandom. They made Jekyll x Hyde art. They support Trump, calling him a hero. They also believe that it would be better if trans people were dead, despite enjoying and making fan art of a trans person's work. This behavior is not acceptable and people should stop interacting and supporting this person.
Hyde: I didn't do anything illegal!
Jekyll: That's not very reassuring.
Jekyll: I love dogs who are obsessed with licking people. "This human is pleasing to me, I have to put my tongue on it".
Hyde: Dogs treat us like we treat cool rocks.
Jekyll: Your relationship to rocks is apparently very different than mine.
Jekyll: Whenever I meet a problem that makes me sad or frustrated because I can't seem to fix it, I look at a photograph of all the Lodgers together.
Jasper: Aawwwww-
Jekyll: And I think; "If I can keep these dumbasses alive and out of prison, I can do absolutely anything".
Jasper: -... Oh.
Jekyll: Let's ignore the fact the Lodgers are, in fact, the cause of most of my problems.
Lanyon: Self care is stupid, I want to beat my dad with his own bones.
Jekyll: Did you just-- Did you just say what I thought you said?
Lanyon: I'm-- what?
Jekyll: Did you just... Threaten to murder the source of your problems and trauma with a vague and ominous plan of action?
Lanyon: I... I believe so, yes?
Jekyll: Oh my god.
Lanyon: What??
Jekyll: You are turning into ME.
Lanyon: I... oH NO I AM-
Jekyll: Jasper-- Jasper, hey Jasper, Jasper listen to me-
Jasper: I- Yes??
Jekyll: What do you call a werewolf that knows a lot of things?
Jasper: I... Don't know?
Jekyll: An... AWARE-wolf :D:D:D
Jasper: I...
Jekyll: Get it??? Aware like WERE-
Jasper: Sir, please, I get it, but when was the last time you slept?
Jekyll: I have NO IDEA :D:D:D:D
Jekyll: I turned out perfectly fine! I'm perfectly okay!
Jasper: Sir, this morning you thought a ghost made your toast.
Jekyll: I DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN! YOU DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN!! NO ONE ELSE PUT THE BREAD IN!!!
Jekyll: Sitting on and touching warm rocks... Now that's the good stuff...
Jasper: Are you... A reptile?
Jekyll: What are you-- a cop? Mind your business...
Lanyon: Jekyll, please, may I ask WHY there are a bunch of frogs in your office?
Jekyll laying down in a pile of frogs: They looked so cold outside! I had to bring them inside! :(
Lanyon: Henry, they are frogs-- frogs are supposed to be cold! They are wild animals!
Jekyll: :(
Jasper: Sir, on a scale of 1-10, please rate your pain.
Jekyll: Pi.
Jasper: Pi?
Jekyll: A minimal but a never ending number.
Jasper: What the actual f*ck.
Jekyll: Selfcare is drinking highly toxic chemicals right out of the anti-contamination beaker whilst letting the darkness that dwells within the depths of your soul overtake you.
Lanyon: No.
Jekyll: Slurp.
So, The Glass Scientists by Sage Cotugno is one of my absolute favourite Jekyll and Hyde stories and I would highly recommend it.
It has the same tone of lighthearted silliness mixed with genuine tragedy which I loved about the original novella
I gives Jekyll and Hyde both ample screentime so you get to see both of their perspectives, and get to know them both as people
It doesn't play the "Jekyll's pure good, Hyde's pure bad" card, which I appreciate
The character designs are great and Hyde's facial expressions are priceless!
It keeps in the queer narrative, which is a major part for many people reading the novella but I haven't seen other adaptations do it very well
It has a werewolf, and he's a very nice and sweet young man
And it's Webcomic, so it's free to read on the internet!
I made ✨more✨
Hyde’s self appointed job when in shadow form is to make Jekyll think he’s low on sanity when he’s really not (so kinda like canon DNKDKCWKXK-) except he doesn’t do it to take control (mostly).
He just does it to fuck with Henry.
Idk Don’t Starve is in my life again and my friend mentioned small things Henry and Wilson have in common so… TGS Don’t Starve AU ig
Also bonus Wilson. For Funsies!

A Collaboration Between My Friend And I
Spoiler alert!!
I can't stop laughing about this
The face
The fact that they were 100% ready to do this
The fact that like all the Lodgers were there
Lanyon's face in this one
And many more
Mirror, Mirror
Hyde: Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the tallest of us all?
Jekyll: Definitly not you, Edward. I know that you are standing on a stool
I figured I would post that TGS essay that I did for my english class that I was posting about before.
The Strange Case of the Glass Scientists
Stories reflect the time period they were written in. Authors use their life experiences as inspiration for their stories. As society changes, so do the life experiences authors use to write their stories, therefore the stories themselves change to reflect society. When a story is rewritten by an author from a different time period, the changes the rewrite makes reflect the changes in society that have occurred. Such is the case for The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Louis Stevenson, and its rewrite, The Glass Scientists by Sage Cotugno. The differences between the two stories show how society has changed over time. The format of the story has changed, the way the characters speak has changed, and the story has been rewritten with queer themes.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written in prose. At the time, for a story of its complexity, prose was the only way to record such a story. However, technology has advanced since the writing of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, allowing for more varied forms of storytelling. Along with prose, stories can now be told through movies, video games, comics, and other such mediums. Even if Stevenson wanted to , he could not have told the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde through a webcomic, the technology just did not exist at the time. His options were much more limited than those of storytellers today. Cotungo had a greater amount of options available to them when deciding what format to tell their story in. They were able to make the choice to tell their story as a webcomic as society has advanced enough that the technology exists to give them that option. Comics are a popular form of storytelling nowadays, whereas when Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written, they were unheard of. The internet also did not exist when Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written. In order to read the story, the reader must have had a physical copy of the novella. To read The Glass Scientists, the reader needs a device and an internet connection. The Glass Scientists is a retelling of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but advancements in society have allowed their formats to be drastically different. The difference in format shows just how much society has changed over time.
Along with the medium, the language used to tell the two stories is different. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is approaching one hundred and forty years old. People do not talk the same way they did one hundred and forty years ago. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written in the 1880’s for an audience of people living in the 1880’s, meaning the language it uses is appropriate for that time period. The Glass Scientists on the other hand, was written in the 2010’s to 2020’s for an audience of people living in that time period, meaning that the language is much more modern. The English language has changed between the 1880’s and now. This is clearly shown through the difference in the dialogue between the two stories. In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, while explaining his relationship with Dr. Jekyll, Dr. Lanyon explains, “But it is more than ten years since Henry Jekyll became too fanciful for me. He began to go wrong, wrong in mind: and though, of course, I continue to take an interest in him for old sake’s sake as they say, I see and I have seen devilish little of the man. Such unscientific balderdash would have estranged Damon and Pythias.” (Stevenson, 36) While this was once how people talked, it is evidently different from the way the characters in The Glass Scientists talk. The following is a conversation between Jekyll and Lanyon in The Glass Scientists,
(Cortungo, chapter 3, page 12)
Both characters are Lanyon, however they are speaking in a different manner, one which is appropriate to the time period they were written in. Lanyon in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde speaks much more formally, whereas Lanyon in The Glass Scientists is much more casual. Comparing the language between the two stories shows how society has changed over time.
Just as the language changes between the two stories, so do the themes. In Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the faults that Jekyll uses Hyde to indulge in are never revealed. One possible explanation , and one of the explanations The Glass Scientists gives, is that Jekyll is using Hyde to conceal his queerness. In his full statement of the case, Jekyll writes, “And indeed, the worst of my faults was a certain impatient gaiety of disposition, such as has made the happiness of many, but such as I found it hard to reconcile with my imperious desire to carry my head high, and wear a more than commonly grave countenance before the public” (Stevenson, 81). It is not the only possible explanation, however it is possible to interpret Jekyll’s so-called ‘fault’ as queerness. During the period when Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was published, being queer was considered improper, and not something that was openly discussed. If Jekyll is queer, then as a man of high society, he could not both be out and maintain his reputation. This taboo also would have prevented Stevenson from confirming Jekyll’s queerness in the text, if it were to be the case. In the modern day though, queerness is much more accepted and discussed. As such, The Glass Scientists is able to directly explore the queer undercurrent in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In The Glass Scientists, Jekyll is canonically queer. The following panels are from an interaction between Jekyll and Lanyon,
(Cotungo, chapter 11, page 21)
While he is not comfortable being out, Jekyll in The Glass Scientists is undeniably queer, as shown through his relationship with Lanyon. Society’s views on queerness have shifted since Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was written. It is no longer taboo to discuss or write stories about queerness. As such, The Glass Scientists is able to be explicitly queer, and is able to explore this angle of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This shift in attitude around queerness in the two stories shows how society has changed over time.
The Glass Scientists is explicitly queer, whereas Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is not, which is one of the differences between the two stories, along with their difference in format and their difference in language. These differences reflect the changes in society that have occurred between the writing of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and now.
@lalottered and here’s one for Hyde too ;3
Some sketches (1, 2) with Hyde and with dr Jekyll and mr Lanyon AU (3,4)
That's my "kind" AU. When Jekyll drank the potion, it wasn't his bad side that was released, but his good side. I saw a similar scenario in the book. Here, Lenyon swapped places with Hyde, and now he's annoy Jekyll!
Hyde is scientist, and he creating explosives, bombs and smoke bombs.
Sorry for mistakes, I bad in English
I drew Hyde in the train... It was wonderful, but... Hard 😀
OMG I'm shipping Jekyll with Hyde 😭
It's so... So strange. But I love it. Very much. I writing fanfic about them, but my favourite site of fanfiction was closed in my country... I'm so sad with this.
