Just about finished part 4. This... has been a hell of a ride
how do you do, fellow Creatives™
plus some yellow cat. Still working on their design. But I'm pretty happy with this so far.
I wanna do more work on yellow cat in general. I like the idea of the camellias in their tail. Kinda like it got stuck in the thick fur when gardening? I can see leshy trying to take a bite from their tail
Top image is my version of the official art of him playing the flute. Thought it would be a good reference.
Also, leshy is totally going to eat the flower crown when yellow cat isn't looking. (Im going to need a name for them...)
when she says she doesn’t send nudes
How are y’all gonna call Gortash the smelly one when Ketheric has ‘crypt breath’ (according to Orin) and Orin herself bathes in blood, guts, & sewage on the daily? :/
Like Gortash objectively smells the best of the Dead Three, his hand-signed pass to his own coronation ceremony canonically smells like vanilla and rosewood; this man does indeed shower and I will not hear otherwise
saving this
I'm starting a collection
He really calls himself an athiest and then does all this stuff that's symbolic to things from the Bible.
He tells his bud to take care of his mom and sister because he probably won't be seeing them again, paralleling Christ telling John to take care of his mom when he was hanging on the cross.
He kisses Sonia's foot similar to Jesus washing the feet of his apostles.
He harrases Sonia into reading the story of Lazarus (seriously, he barged in and started putting her down, the jerk, then wouldn't leave till she read to him). While Lazarus died physically and was sepreated from his loved ones, Raskolnikov and Sonia have expierenced a spiritual death beacause of their sins. This point is accentuated when after she finishes reading, the book makes a comment about the harlot and the murderer, referring to Sofia and Raskolnikov. Then later they become seperated from their siblings when they go to Siberia like Lazarus was seperated from Mary and Martha.
There's probably more that I missed but those three really stuck out to me. He goes on about being an atheist and wanting to be in the same class as Napoleon but bro is acting like he's a martyr or something if he confesses to murdering 2 people who were minding their own business. Delusions of grandeur, indeed.
dostoyevsky was surely a master of nomenclature as well. i don't know if all editions include this, but my copy of crime and punishment (penguin) includes info on the names of the characters and their meanings. dosto's versatility is unbounded since even the names of characters match with their actions and character traits.
from raskolnikov's name, "raskolot" means to chop or split. "raskolnik" refers to religious schismatic. "razum" in razumikhin means intellect or reason. "zametit" from zametov's name means to observe. most importantly, sofya who is mentioned often as sonya, refers to wisdom.
Maybe it's like a new cover/album for the concert coming up? Idk. Or maybe its like the deluxe version of the black parade like what they did with three cheers (doubt that)
it doesn't show if you look at it in a playlist. So maybe something weird is going on with spotify
Edit: I'm an idiot
