    So I woke up this morning and Red from OSP actually gave my vid a shoutout on Twitter ... WHAT!? BE STILL, MY BEATING HEART!
    Seriously, thank you so much and welcome to everyone who's just discovered my channel! I don't know when or what my next video will be, but do expect more!
    EDIT: What's this? A NEW 'Told Through Vines' vid? Darn right it is! ruclips.net/video/ZWkD9GgXVXc/видео.html

I definitely took some inspiration from that portrayal and wove it into my own design, haha! Also, the whole movie may or may not be on RUclips, but you didn't hear that from me, shhh ...

      @flyingkoifish1011 4 года назад +214

      Frakenstien believes he is God. Decides to create life. The creature he made had beautiful bod, but those eyes where too weird. Abandoned him. Monster goes to live under a shack of some nice people, teaches himself to talk and read. The creature is capable of complex though and now wants companionship. Tries to befriend the nice family, bit they think he is a robber (I think, it's something along those lines). Upset by the rejection he burns down their house. Goes to find Frankenstein 'cause all he wants is a bae. Meets Frankenstein's baby brother and kills him, and frames one of Frankenstiens maid for it. Frankenstein knows it the monster, and (if I remember right) runs away. Until the monster catches up to him and demands that he make him a bae, and then he will leave him alone. Frankenstein agrees, makes most of the monster girl, but then chickens and disposes the body. The creature gets triggered and threatens to 'be there on his wedding night.' Frankenstein cant stop being the center of the universe, and thinks the monster will murder him on his wedding night. GETS MARRIED ANYWAY!! Surprise, surprise, the monster visits and murders his wife. Driven to the edge, Frankenstien chases the creature to the south (or north, can't remember exactly) where he is found half frozen to death. Dies on the ship after telling his tale to the leader of the expedition that found him. The monster comes in spoirs some lines, then jumps out of the window, to what we can presume, to commit suicide. We are left with the man that Frankenstein told his whole story to, pondering the tale he just told. And deciding that he cannot fall into the same folly that Frankenstein did, and abandons his stupidly dangerous expedition to the north (or south pole, still cant remember which)

      Idk if I’d agree the books said he was attractive. Almost everyone the Creature met ran away in horror at his appearance. While Victor had “selected his features to be beautiful” when finally awoken the mix of features, along with his size, didn’t seem to mesh well. William, Victor’s brother, thought the Creature was an ogre. Keep in mind the Creature is made of both human and animal parts.

      @@DogNamedWatson Well, why not? I already have written my own things, why not about Ernest? And is it fanfiction if the story I am pulling from is in the public domain?
      I get where you're coming from. I know I could neved write anything that would surpass Mary Shelley, the book itself is quite the beast to adapt, but a one-shot short story about where Ernest ends up could be a fine thing to write. We cannot stop people from taking from good stories and choose to make a fanfiction from it, it is impossible. But we shouldn't limit ourselves by always sticking to creating original characters and never take advantage of the treasure trove that is the Public Domain. But like with all things that are treasure, we should treat it with respect and not throw it around like a toy, and not take too much.
      I might be a little long-winded about this, but it's early in the morning and I wondered how one should respond to this. Have a lovely day!

      @@Doctor_17 I should have been more clear. Writing it is fine, publishing it and profiting off of it is, in my opinion, scummy.
      It is still fan-fiction if it is in the public domain, because just because it belongs" to the people doesn't change anything. How would a story written in 1924 be fan fiction, but a story written in 1923 (the public domain cut off date) not he fan-fiction.
      I don't feel comfortable when people profit off of public domain works, because yes, they belong to the people, but they still have an original author. They're still people who existed and put so much work into their novels and plays--they wrote original characters. It's bizarre for people today to say, "Oh, I like that, I'll take him" as if the public domain were a shopping mall.
      Write it, fine, whatever, but in my opinion, it is gross for people to make money off of something that is not, and never will be, completely original. Think about how 50 Shades of Grey is published Twilight fan-fiction. It's weird and scummy. Why shouldn't fanfiction of better novels, like Frankenstein, be looked at with the same, "How did you get away with this?" I don't see how the publication date matters.
      I love the Public Domain because it lets people have access to the works, and that's wonderful, but people are like vultures, waiting to seize upon what someone else wrote for their own benefit.
      Now, I have some exceptions to this "Don't make money on fan-fiction" rule: 1.) Changing media (I.E. turning a novel into a movie, musical, television show, etc.) 2.) Parody (Such as "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare: Abridged")
      Ultimately: writing a story based on someone else's creation = great, get to it, have fun
      Publishing it and making money = weird
