i can't do this anymore guys. dostoevsky never wrote this. please. can anyone hear me. if you do proper research the earliest version of this quote is from like a 2010 facebook quote with a magenta flower on it. it's gotten so bad that it's even credited to him on goodreads but nobody can source where he wrote it because he fucking didn't. i can't keep seeing this in your web weaves. dostoevsky the author of crime and punishment did not in fact write "you were destined for me. perhaps as a punishment". that is just simply not true. please nod and tell me you understand

"this quote was attributed to me. perhaps as a punishment." -dostoevsky

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

My vocaloid Crime and Punishment song, “Extraordinary Man”, has been released on YouTube!

Here are most of the frames from the promotional video, though I encourage you to listen to the song and watch the video because I spent a lot of time producing and editing it aghhg. It is a bountiful day for the Raskolnikov lovers today...

I've seen people talk about modern day Dostoevsky headcanons. like Pyotr would generate AI images of Shatov to fool von Lembke or Ivan Karamazov would be a nerdy ragebaiter on reddit or something

Well personally I like to think that modern day Raskolnikov would have a guilty pleasure of watching ASMR before bed every night. i think hed totally lay on his crusty couch in his tiny apartment with a badly cracked Samsung Galaxy S7 or something and, in his half-asleep state, would be absolutely mesmerized by those squishy wax cracking videos. and then he'd hit those micro-sleeps that happen as you're doom scrolling and eventually start snoring with "30 minutes of creamy tapping ASMR" still playing. and that's how he gets any sleep at night

free, too much free, one mustn't be this free. why must i, me? be untethered like this. give me back restraint, return the bars which limit the consciousness. please. your infinite possibilities scare me. i don't wish to see your endless sea of is and can be. i don't wish to know each twist and turn, ending, beginning, doing, being, step and jump, and stair below, above or side to side. do you hear me? can you even listen? box me back in. stop tormenting me like this. listen to me. if you hear me, listen. please

I HAVE SOURCED MORE INFO!!!! from my friend who works at an nz audio archive and they HAVE THE TAPE THERE? COVER:

[itwashotwestayedinthewater]

Final info ive put together after i have just looked over the insert notes (inside the other tape) sent to me by my friend:

This band had Steven Wells and Andrew Bain in it - they went on to be in a pretty popular NZ rock band called Fur Patrol from late 90s-2000s, so this is a precursor to that. in the notes they also thank Campbell Kneale, a prolific underground nz musician in bands like Birchville Cat Motel and Black Boned Angel. they also thank "Drinkwater".

[itwashotwestayedinthewater]

alright everyone. after 33k+ notes on an obscure 90s indie song from Aotearoa i gotta admit many want to hear the rest, & as i cant think of a better format to supply this, here's the rest of the tape in this post. please let it stay here where it needs to be, don't spread it like its yours. its not mine either! i now present to you: Clayflower - Still (1993, Aotearoa, Cassette, Shoegaze/Indie Rock)
