Clayface reminds me of The count of monte cristo kinda mixed up with Frankenstein. I really liked it.
I've seen a few comparations with The Picture of Dorian Gray, but I haven't read it yet.
As a child I never wanted to be anything. I never wanted anything. I never became anything. I wanted nothing to be forever. I wanted to see the sea rise and fall and lap up against my feet. I wanted to be the altar boy at every funeral
I secretly idolize people like this. Unashamed is something I can never imagine myself being, so when I see someone being openly "uncool" in front of others I feel more jealousy than anything else.
