Oh, my friend. Imagine if this were how it actually happened. I think I would have just passed away on the spot.

looking at this really puts a picture to how hyde's (forgive me for being on the nose), hydeness was sanded away. its like every next drawing, hyde looks less and less like himself.its like im seeing him wither away.the first drawing is hyde. the second drawing is hyde,but he looks more restrained.more nervous.and definitely less glowy, which makes everything feel Wrong™ in a way I can't describe.when I looked at it first, it just felt like he looked less ethereal.like someone took him, this little chaos gremlin, embodiment of impulsivity, and forcefully grounded him.planted his feet on the ground in a way so that he can no longer float back up.and then the third drawing is just "What If Hyde Was A Normal Gentlemanly Dude?" and I do not likey. he's so barely recognizable as hyde,that without the other two drawings visible alongside the third,i can think this is somebody's OC called Maddie who has just graduated college and is looking at herself in the mirror in her new waitress uniform to make sure nothings out of place before she goes for the first day of her new waitress job.(no joke, that is exactly what I thought the third drawing looked like without context). and the scary thing is,without the context, the image looks ok.looks normal.it doesn't feel wrong until you look back at what was before,and what is now.and you realize how Wrong™ the now is, and how did you not see it before? but thats the tragedy of it. and the worst part is,HYDE DOESNT REMEMBER THE BEFORE ENOUGH TO GET THE FACT THAT THIS IS ALL SO TERRIBLY MESSED UP.THAT HIM WORRYING ABOUT BEING RUDE IS SO OOC FOR HIM IT MIGHT AS WELL PUT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE OUT OF ORDER. anyway, that were my thoughts on your artwork at 1:52 AM on a Tue night! thank you for looking at my heart and crushing it into a million tiny pieces/lh(lighthearted). PS:Read most recently published chapter on this fic(chap 5).wont spoil for those who haven't gotten there yet, but hope? maybe?

Yes!!!! Oh my gosh, yeah, you get it! The uncanniness of Hyde not being Hyde anymore, but not seeing anything mg wrong with it because he can’t Remember— it makes for an incredible unsettling sequence that I wanted to capture. I’m so glad I accomplished that!!! Thank you for your wonderful comment jfksjd <3

Careful What You Wish For - Chapter 1 - casualcannibalisms - The Glass Scientists (Webcomic) [Archive of Our Own]

I think neither Jekyll nor Hyde will die. Not after the recent chapters showing that both of them just wanted to be happy and free. Not after them discovering the acceptance and respect and care they've been looking for for years. Things they've found in the very Society Jekyll founded so that other people could find the support he never received or couldn't, wouldn't ask for until now.

Not when both of them have finally started asking for help.

Not when their parallels, Victoria Frankenstein and the Creature, were found to be alive and have started healing from their self and mutually inflicted hurt.

Not when either or both Hyde and Jekyll dying would devastate so many people who care about them.

The two of them living in the comic's ending fits thematically in the retelling that is The Glass Scientists.

However, I agree with the speculation that Sage could and would make the characters believe that one or both of them have died. Specifically, I speculate that Jekyll - as a parallel to chapters 15 and 16, where it was Hyde who thought that Jekyll was gone - will temporarily believe that Hyde's gone. But not sunken into the void. Gone entirely.

man, Tgs is such a delightful ride of an adaptation, what do you MEAN I wholeheartedly, at this point in the comic, would trust Hyde more with the lives of the Lodgers and freaking Jekyll, than I’d trust him with himself?

"doomed by the narrative-" WRONG!! The narrative is doomed by ME!!
