These Blood soaked Hands.

Man this art is from last year on the dot, but I still love it. Reference and rants under the cut

I don't know something about how the red (obviously) represents blood and death, and the placement of such amongst the monochrome of the rest of the drawing makes it pop. I did that on purpose, and while both Nikolai and Fyodor have pretty black and white designs, I made sure their little bits of color were muted.

But the placement of the blood represents a lot of things I don't quite remember cause I made this a year ago lmoa. But the jist is the idea that Fyodor thinks his hands clean because of the necessity of cleansing the world (we see this also in Crime and Punishment, which is where I get this part of the analysis, Raskolnikov questions if what he did in killing the two women was wrong because of their lower station and how no one really liked or cared for them.) In this, Nikolai is one of his servants - in Fyodor's mind, not Nikolai's lol - in whatever Fyodor's goals are. His hands are gladly bloodstained, and he while he also had his reasons, he understands what it is. Something something Fyodor thinks himself the savior yadda yadda we've heard it all before.

The hands around Nikolai (again obviously) represent the gilded cage. The lack of freedom even in the release of killing another human. The hands more harshly grab him as opposed to the hands that gently hold Fyodor (they are thanking him for giving them the punishment for their crime because he knows that it was the correct one, which isn't true but is what he things. Probably. What do I know I've only seen the anime?)

crazy how much your life can improve if you just Move Somewhere Else

[crabussy]

my mental health was abysmal when I lived next to a 10 lane motorway in a tiny cramped city that was too hot for me... as soon as I moved back home to aotearoa and got to live by the sea in a small town with lots of green spaces and libraries and cafes and art galleries and sea lions and dolphins and penguins and native birds my mental health SKYROCKETED to the point where it's honestly ridiculous. like saying "I LOVE BEING ALIVE... WOW WOW" out loud on occasion ridiculous. I'm so happy.

moving somewhere better is lifesaving. wishing everyone trapped in a shitty area the absolute best of luck moving somewhere someday that makes you glad to be alive [: it makes such a huge difference.
