Gregory Peck is so very much my Alexandr Block face claim. Like that is Sasha to me.

he, of course, would never say “Bullets spare those who are in love” though…

Second page: "We've all lost, honey"

I love so much dad Alexander figure in the theatre play. In comparison with Aglaya, it seems like the stage fetters Block. That's why he seems more humane but at the same more nervous about all of this responsibility and not wilful at all.

The pressure is seen in his voice, posture and gestures in front of other actors, Mark Immortell and more relaxation with Clara. I love these two. (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)💖

The idea of Aglaya and Block as a pair of chess pieces is already so complex, but the thought of it through a romantic lense is killing me.

Block is the gun and its up to Aglaya to pull the trigger, but shes a doll in the end and all of this is no longer her story. She loses the ability to manipulate him as a weapon and must see him as a man whilst KNOWING that other dolls are lining up to take a shot. She tries to manipulate the doll, as a doll, into pulling the trigger but fails to accound for the player behind them. She succeeds in every story you're not playing because YOU are her foil and all she can do is watch as Block executes the outcome she didn't want. She goes from the person behind the trigger to the person infront of it and the only person who stays static in ANY sort of predictable way is. Alexander block himself. But he cant help it. its in his nature to be a weapon. He's not in control no matter how finely crafted and humane and in love and consistant he is. He is the weapon and he is the trigger and he's a tool in the end. Imagine being aglaya and loving him anyway. What a shell of a man. What a shell to love.
