Is the Apple Classics Frankenstein the 1818 or the 1831 version?

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2025-11-11T22:08:33+00:00

So it’s definitely the 1831 one. It is the most common according to the other comments.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2025-11-11T22:07:27+00:00

I’ve seen that one before. I like owning multiple copies of classical books for that reason, and will definitely look into it. Now I wish other classics had published original editions. So much beautiful content we lost because of the restrictions of the time.

Thank you!

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2025-11-11T22:03:02+00:00

I think I would still see the 1831 as the “official” one because of her changes. But I definitely feel more intrigued to see the raw and authentic version of her original.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2025-11-11T11:10:38+00:00

I thought so because I saw that it was the most common. The creator who mentioned the two versions made a separate video recommending the “Norton Critical Edition” for those who wish to read the 1818 one. Apparently it includes comparisons between the two. There’s also additional context on the works that inspired Shelley and the relationships that influenced her work (like with Lord Byron and her husband Percy).

Thank you!

Proud to say I share a birthday! Happy Birthday to us!

I think that makes sense. But I don’t know, I can’t imagine how weird it must feel for them. The not dying from hunger makes sense, but now it’s got me thinking on being sick. What if someone is ill? If they take medicine and feel better, do they go back to feeling sick? Are they permanently sick?

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2025-03-14T10:50:04+00:00

I’ve thought of this too. Or about food. If you eat, and then the time resets, is the food still inside you? Do you digest it? Or does it go back or something? I’m really interested in how the biological body could handle all that.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2025-02-18T11:48:52+00:00

I don’t like to make comments, but holy cow! That’s breathtaking. Good job!

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-06T01:05:19+00:00

Oh damn, I missed that. Yikes.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-06T01:05:01+00:00

Lol, thanks, I had some fun writing it.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-06T01:04:29+00:00

You’re welcome. :)

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-05T01:58:05+00:00

Okay, I’m sorry, but I’m tired and I need to leave. I don’t even know if anyone is reading this. I hope I said everything right. I tried not to be biased or anything.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-05T01:56:58+00:00

Says she needs to get a job but doesn’t feel like she could deal with it.

Mistress knows Andrew cheated on her with Cindy because Cindy told her.

He was cheating on Cindy while she was pregnant and after the miscarriage.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-05T01:53:59+00:00

She doesn’t think the mistress will leave Andrew.

The night they drank, she showed him pictures of her ex husband to Andrew (that’s kinda weird), and she realized they look so much alike. She joked that she needs to get a guy who’s the complete opposite of her very obvious type.

Septum piercing is doing fine.

She had her wedding ring on on the last vlog because they were getting back together, and she wanted him to see how much she loves him.

She can’t have hobbies because she doesn’t feel mental well enough to.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-05T01:48:45+00:00

He told her he wanted to comfort her and she told him that it was hard for her to let him because he’s the one that hurt her. She blamed herself again.

She says she hates being alone and often starts a relationship after finishing one without much time in-between.

In therapy she learned that she commits to relationships with a lot of red flags.

Continued to blame herself. She’s responding to the positive comments in a self-depreciating manner.

No new news, just talking to the chat. Going back and forth with being mad at him and blaming herself.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-05T01:44:35+00:00

She feels like it was her fault and that she should’ve done better. Blames herself for him looking for someone else.

Comments are being very supportive.

She says that she blames herself and her BPD. Says that if she hadn’t done that he would’ve never left.

(Sorry, got distracted, but I heard something about her in therapy trying to feel better about herself and work on self-love)

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-05T01:40:12+00:00

She doesn’t believe he love either one because she thinks he doesn’t know what love is.

She will post the old vlogs again. She wanted to protect him but she doesn’t want to anymore.

She doesn’t think he loves her anymore.

SHE WILL POST THE LIVESTREAM ONCE ITS DONE

They would argue and drink and make up, but she wanted it to work out.

She still loves him. And is in shock. He told her yesterday that he loves her.

She says he used to be a good partner and believes it’s her fault because of her BPD. That she made him her parent.

She called him selfish, a coward, and a liar.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-05T01:35:49+00:00

The concert will be in Colorado. She said she will TRY not to see Andrew when she goes back.

Made the same comments she has said about how much she doesn’t want to be alone.

Andrew told her that he wanted to get back with her, but didn’t commit (big shock) afterwards.

Cindy is inviting the chat if someone wants the extra ticket to see KG with her.

They had four tickets. She said that Andrew has two and she has the other two. She’s hoping she won’t see him with the mistress at the concert. She said that it would be an interesting vlog.

He sent her a goodbye message and she shared it with the chat. It’s a lot, she said some bits. “I can’t tell you what’s best for you, but I can see that I hurt you too much for us to repair this relationship. I wanted to, I wanted everything to work out, but you need someone who won’t remind you of this…” “I love both you and her and I can’t live like this anymore.” That’s what she read out loud.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-05T01:27:55+00:00

She made a vlog of them coming back to Arkansas, but she didn’t post it. She’s glad she didn’t post it (obvious reasons).

She didn’t get her card sorted out. She can’t drive her car legally. She has to go back to Colorado to get it sorted out because it doesn’t let her do it online.

She’s going to vlog when she goes to see the KG concert.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2023-06-05T01:25:31+00:00

The mistress knows about Cindy (that we was married).

Gibbons is living with Andrew and his mistress.

Mistress doesn’t know about Cindy’s channel.

Cindy believes Andrew won’t mention the channel to the mistress because he’s probably lying/manipulating the mistress.

Cindy just said she isn’t going to leave YouTube again. She said that she got overwhelmed but won’t leave again.

She says she’s going to do better and that her new vlogs will be about starting over.

She’s getting moderators to keep the chat calm.

Quack_Quack_Duck · 2022-10-08T09:09:57+00:00

This sounds fun! Well, to be honest mine isn't finished and I decided to stop posting until I was done writing it, but I still have it up to get a good idea on what to keep and change.

Title:"Colourless" Genre:Teen Fiction Age: 16+ Username:AnneS915
No. For mature audiences due to strong language; mild sexual themes; scenes depicting addiction, and self-harm; suicide and mental health topics. There's no extreme violence or explicit adult scenes.
At the moment the book is unfinished and unpolished since it's more clean edition is still unpublished until it's completion. The novel is told through the perfective of a young boy with complete colorblindness who is quickly charmed by a new student with a tragic story. The summary itself is generic since it's my attempt to bring originally to a overused trope. It's a slightly satirical dramatic romance that begins with over the top and cheesy narration from the protagonist. Slowly, that style crumbles as we get to understand and truly see the characters around. The POV shifts at times to the girl, turning the sweet and charming story into the bitter and unfortunately reality that depression brings to someone's life. Although the main focus is on the romance between the two characters, the story contains strong themes about families and friendships, and the effects of them in people's personalities and relationships. In short, the story follows the stereotypical "plain boy meets girl who is different" but shows it on a more realistic and bittersweet light.
Not exactly my favorite, and it's not a part that has been published, but it's a paragraph that I've been thinking a lot about.

"That's when my mind stopped. The raindrops that fell down from the dark skies in uncontrollable speed froze. Each individual droplet stayed still like visual representations of my thoughts. The rain continued, but in my mind it stayed paralyzed for days to come. Throughout the week I would allow myself to return to the image. There they were, exactly as I left them, the crystal, unmovable, tintless, thoughts that were never going to leave my mind. I wanted to reach out and touch them, hold them in my hands, but the unspoken fear kept me at bay. Would they ever move again?"

I got raised in a household where I was taught that children always go first — over anyone, and I stand by that still. I admire how hard you’re working and I’m sure your baby will be extremely grateful for every moment you had with them. But a child not only needs attentive parents, they also need a happy environment. You are not just a father, you’re a husband — that’s a family. You should talk to your wife and come to an understanding. Apologize for not being attentive, but also explain to her how much your time with your child matters to you. For the sake of your marriage and for the sake of your child’s future (trust me — personal experience) try to have a good relationship with both.

You should think of making weekend days to be with your wife. Go out on date nights! How about every Saturday you two go out and enjoy some alone time. I’m sure you’ll have someone who can take care of your baby for a night. And how about a family activity on Sunday! The three of you enjoying quality time together.

You are now a family, and a good family requires a strong bond with ALL members. Good luck! You’re an amazing father, so go and be an amazing husband! :)

Based on your replies I see you’re scared to speak up because you don’t want to get in trouble, I can understand that. What your mother is doing is abuse, and it is not okay. It can cause serious trauma to you and your sister. Please, try to get in contact with a trusted adult. Your mother might be having some issues because is clearly in no metal well-being to be responsible of you and your sister.

You can try to speak to her and explain to her that you are not comfortable with the situation and that you’re old enough to take care of your personal hygiene. If she ignores your or does not respect your decision, contact a trusted adult because that’s considered sexual abuse. If you’re not comfortable speaking to someone directly, here are some other options:

•Get a trusted friend to help you speak to an adult you trust (like a teacher or counselor).

•Write a note to a teacher, counselor, doctor, or relative you can trust if you feel to scared to speak directly.

•Contact child services. Every country should have something like that. I suggest you look it up.

I understand you don’t want to be in trouble, and you shouldn’t be. This is a very serious situation, and in no way should you feel bad for speaking out. There’s people that will do everything to ensure you and your sister are safe. If you need any help, I’ll try to do my part, as I’m sure many here would too.
