how i sleep knowing some old russian man in the 19th century mentioned all my angst in his books and i am not universally alone with these feelings

[godsladyknight]

I can't wait to be redeemed

am i too avoidant or was ivan so real when he said 'and do you know she attracts me awfully even now, yet how easy it is to leave her' and 'i believe it’s always best to get to know people just before leaving them'

[dogmotif-deactivated20240505]

its always "what are your plans for the future, you should really be planning for the future" and never "wow that character you're obsessed with sounds so cool can you explain them to me. im sure you get them more than anyone else"

is that a gun to the back of my head or are you just happy to see the back of my head?

that part in tbk when dmitri sees alyosha and is overcome with how much he loves him and so the normal course of action his brain provides is to scare alyosha to death

[common-prose]

I want to live and I am living, even though that defies logic. Even if I don't believe in the order of things, I still love the sticky leaves as they open each spring, the blue sky, and some people whom you love, do you believe it, and don't know why; I love some great deeds performed by men, in which, perhaps, I no longer believe but which I still treasure in my heart for old times' sake. Look, they've brought your fish soup: eat to your heart's content.

Fyodor Dostoevsky, from The Brothers Karamazov

It's important to have at least two blorbos that fit into specific roles in your life

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and ask yourself what they would do in a situation, and draw motivation from them on how to be better and stronger!

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and remind yourself that no matter what happens, you probably aren't going to fuck your shit up as much as they did even if you actively tried

[falloutnewnobody]

rakitin is my favorite tbk character because he never has any business doing anything he does and always manages to fuck it up

like we start off with him having an unexplained and weirdly intimate friendship with alyosha. and now he's actually secretly grusha's cousin. and now he's hanging out with mitya in prison. and now he's teaching impoverished children socialism. and now he's trying to fuck alyosha's friend's mom because he finds her injured foot kinda hot. and now he's testifying at the murder trial. look at him go noone does it like him.

I bet Mitya listened to 2000s party girl music on his way to find grusha
