Bro was a combination of decaying body parts, not a drawn/ animated hunk with a bunch of stitching lines.

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

Not decaying, just formerly dead. He’s described in the book as being quite handsome, actually, except his eyes—which are the eyes of a corpse

[–] TrackShovel@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

If you think about it, we are all a combination of decaying body parts

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Only if you have gangrene.

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 7 hours ago

Well,

a. The monster told his story of travelling through Europe to Victor Frankenstein.

b. Mr. Frankenstein was telling it back to Walton. He wouldn't bother with details that would offend him.

So, there's a non-zero chance it did happen, but V.F. didn't tell.

Read the book on how he did it. The creature travelled at night during times when people stayed at home when it's dark, and avoided villages and towns. Rather simple and realistic.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 9 hours ago

Maybe he just stank like hell. Nobody likes that.

[–] faythofdragons@piefed.social 32 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

So? That's just being an introvert

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 32 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Yes, but it does mean that he was less likely to encounter said monsterfuckers

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

You don't think monsterfuckers wouldn't be stalking the night for strange?

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 8 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

In the early 1800s? No, I don't think so, that would have been how people were labeled as witches or ne'er-do-wells and hung.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 9 points 8 hours ago

Hanged. According to Young Frankenstein the monster was in fact hung.

[–] isleepinahammock@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Now I need a modern retelling of Frankenstein where things actually turn out alright for Mr. Monster. He gets a work from home gig and gets his groceries delivered, so no need to sneak around at night. He mostly just hangs out at home all day. And he develops an active love life thanks to the Internet! He has partners literally flying in to see him.

[–] CheesyFingers@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

wfh gig
partners flying in

Bro's an OnlyFans model lmao

[–] isleepinahammock@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, you try being a reanimated sewn together corpse trying to support yourself in this economy! And the hardest part of making a living on sites like OF is being unique or noticeable. And boy, is Mr. Monster that!

[–] CheesyFingers@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

That's right, and we both know Mr. Monster casts a wide net for audience.

[–] Hamartia@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

You don't think that the Venn diagram of monsterfuckers and introverts have any overlap? At all?

[–] b3nsn0w@lemmy.world 18 points 11 hours ago

they verifiably do, but introverts miss other introverts all the time

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Pre-internet? Pre-social media? In sparsely populated areas? Not really.

Dear diary,

A melancholy has come upon me. I am a fool with an unspeakable, uncurable sickness.

At the tavern this evening, Sir Roger and his friends were speaking of the fairness of the maidens in the village, and I, the fool that I am asked if anyone else did think and agree that;

"Miss Emily would be twice the treat were she to grow the fangs and whiskers of the she-wolf"

They looked at me as a man beset by madness! Realising my error, I panicked and quickly exclaimed;

"Tis merely a jest! Take nothing earnest in mine utterances!"

But they did not stop laughing, until everyone in the room, which is nearly everyone in the village of any standing, was also laughing.

They attempted to mock me by initiating mock-courting, interspersed with howling and growling.

I fled home, ashamed, a fool. As I write this now, every five minutes I hear a howl and some giggling from outside my window.

There must not be another man alive who would understand me and my shameful sickness. Why must I desire this ungodly blend of woman and beast?

I shall leave for London in the morning, to find a cure, or failing that, to meet my end.

[–] 2ndDegreeOWO@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, but introvert monsterfuckers are even less likely to meet the monster, because they're sitting alone at home fantasizing about monsters.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 6 points 11 hours ago

I think you're asking the wrong questions.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 hours ago

So... he had a Lemmy account.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 78 points 12 hours ago (1 children)
[–] TrackShovel@lemmy.today 21 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Lmfao. Easily one of my favorite movies

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 hours ago

This post is peak tumblr and I'm here for it 😄

[–] mrmacduggan@lemmy.ml 15 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Victor Deadlock gets all the attention the monster missed out on.

[–] Djehngo@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Never put in a shirt

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 5 points 12 hours ago

And he's usually blissfully unaware, it's great.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

He does ok in Young Frankenstein.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 5 points 8 hours ago

"You're incorrigible! Aren't you? You little zipper neck."

[–] petrichornetrainfall@piefed.social 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Someone probably wanted Frankenstein's penis. Sorry, Frankenstein's MONSTER penis.

The question is, whose penis was it before it belonged to the monster?

[–] jade52@lemmy.ca 9 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Is Debbie Ryaning like Taylor Swifting?

[–] 13readie@piefed.social 12 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure they're referencing this specific meme

[–] FrChazzz@lemmus.org 13 points 9 hours ago

This is pretty much exactly the language of “Darmok.” Just assuming we all know the meme in order to understand what they’re saying.

“Debby, her bangs swept aside.”

[–] anarcockworkorange@anarchist.nexus 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

For the uninitiated, what meme is that?

[–] 13readie@piefed.social 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Copied from Know Your Meme:

Debby Ryan Funny Face or Debby Ryan's Radio Rebel Smirk, also known simply as the Debby Ryan Meme, refers to a reaction image meme and viral clip of American actress Debby Ryan from the 2012 Disney Channel movie Radio Rebel. Ryan's scene resurfaced in May 2020 after a Twitter / X user posted the moment as a reaction video of their 15-year-old self at a concert in the crowd, trying to act different from others.

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

I don’t know who Debbie Ryan is - the basketball coach, or the actress?
