The Eddie Redmayne propaganda is getting to me

Guess who's doing like minds for their art folio this year!!!

Yeah I didn't consider the fact I don't really have an artstyle before choosing this instead of doing a fashion folio or still life

So I have to genuinely develop skills over the summer (I've been procrastinating this since forever :(((

Also I don't think I've ever seen anyone draw Sally? If so tag me I'd love love love to see

She's staring into my soul as if I'm an evil little fucker

I can take the shine off her hair if it's too shiny

I just saw this photo of the newspaper being brought up again and someone mentioned about the misspelling of colbie

My brain has just decided to justify it by indicating that the real Nigel and the Nigel we are shown through Alex are entirely different. Aka the Colbie Nigel and the Colby Nigel

Or

Colbie Nigel no longer exists in a mortal plain, so that body, that boy in the newspaper, is not Colbie

We're seeing all this through Alexs memories right? In the scene where we see the family lineage from the Knights (I'm pretty sure) it's the ie spelling

This is the initial Nigel, not twisted by Alex's perspective

But this is not towards the end of their relationship, Alex is only just beginning to give into Nigel, to indulge, he's less so aware of how deep he has already actually fallen

Nigel shoots himself, he would forever haunt Alex that way wether or not he's willing to comply

Their relationship twists and shapes into its final form, Colbie exists within him, together united for eternity

Nigel is bound to Alex now (a merging of like minds if you will cause I can't get that speech out of my head)

So therefore to Alex, Nigel Colbie is well alive inside his mind, inhabiting a corner or more

In the newspaper it's a whole different person

After all, the world doesn't know, doesn't understand Colbie like he does

So from Alex's view, that's not Nigel Colbie

nigel is living rent free in my head too much. i oughta start charging him for the privilege

[scrawnyvee]

I think someone said Alex was hard to draw and I was like surely not, but yeah no he's so annoying to draw

Lazy sketches with not so lazy colouring (-_-メ)

[scrawnyvee]

I like how both their characters, while each having very different respective ideas, ultimately changed the other characters own ideas (internalisation).

Friedrich went on to leave the school after Albrechts death, both unable to cope with his close friends death and likely realisation of what Albrecht meant, only after it had actually affected him. (no I don't think he was naive enough to not understand the intentions of the school, but anyone would love the priveledge and opportunities the school gave)

Alex went on to continue Nigels plans after his death, for Nigel and him merged into one like minded entity if you will. There's much we don't know about their true relationship, but assuming Alex changed after Nigel, it seems that his ideas encaptivated Alex and he continued the prophecy/ritual even after Nigels death

(this is also the reason I think Napola is closer to like minds than like minds is to dead poets society, but I might make a different post about that)

Tiktok won't let me upload the full vers there :( so I'll just hide it here

I split it in two on tt cause I was considering making it two halves anyways

When I first watched Like minds, I was expecting the fandom to just go with Nigels flow and continue calling Alex mainly Jack

I guess that would mean we'd call Nigel Spade and that doesn't really have the same effect 😭

I use the name Alex when it makes sense in context and the name Jack when that makes sense instead. It's situational. Even when I call Alex "Jack", I don't inversely call Nigel "Spade"--Jack was a name given to Alex and we often use it to describe him assuming a new role/persona/life after Nigel's death, whereas Alex never named Nigel nor did Nigel use "spade" as a name for himself. A label, yeah, but not really a name per se.

That's not to say no one ever uses "Jack and Spade" as a title or epithet; I've seen it quite a bit over the years.

But for everyday use, Alex is most common.

[scrawnyvee]

That makes a lot of sense thank you :)
