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.
Who are these people…
Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”
and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.
how do you do, fellow Creatives™

lord the peasants are so loud today
Gortash: what were you and your butler prattling about?
Durge: oh, it was mostly sceleritas. But he mentioned you.
Gortash: great. What does he want?
Durge: nothing important. Just wants us to cease all communication with each other.
Gortash: for what reason?
Durge: does it matter?
Gortash: absolutely.
Durge: he believes you're getting in the way of my duties. Moreover, you're a baneite.
Gortash: he wants us to separate ways because I worship bane?
Durge: and because you're an intrusion. But of course.
Gortash: he serves you, why is he ordering you around?
Durge: he is not.
Gortash: yes he is.
Durge: he is just making sure I fulfill my duties, father doesn't look on favour of disappointment.
Sceleritas: that is correct milady, your father wants the best for you, and so do I.
Gortash: gods, were you here this whole time?
Sceleritas: milady, would you not so kindly tell the banite that I do not converse with worshippers of your father's foes.
Durge: he can hear you fel, you're right next to him.
Sceleritas: I see that, I simply refuse to acknowledge him.
Gortash: your butler is unpleasant.
Sceleritas: your inscrutable countenance makes me want to vomit my insides into the bucket of bhaal.
Gortash: so you finally acknowledge me.
Sceleritas: master, I beg of you, slay the tyrant.
Durge: we need him fel.
Sceleritas: there are innumerable amounts of banites, eradicate him, and i would be so proud.
Gortash: kill him, he called me ugly.
Sceleritas: did I stutter?
Late but sincere Valentines wishes!
because of a significan lack of mcr merch in my closet (I'm a newer fan) and also the fact the tour will likely have specific tour based merch, i diy-ed a jacket!
(The colors are way darker in person)
the front is unfinished. And I have no idea what to put in the highlighted areas or on the right sleeve, so thoughts are appreciated!
But here's the back! And I'm very proud of it!
But yeah! Thoughts are appreciated if you have any. I'm fresh out of ideas. I was thinking the demolition lovers but honestly the parader silhouette was hard enough and I didn't want to that
i had a dream i worked in an underwater restaurant and people kept ordering ice in their drinks and then getting mad at me when it would float away. and i’d tell them beforehand that the ice would float away & they’d be like lol no that’s not how it works just give me the ice. I’m fighting customer service battles never seen before
yep. This is a hyperfixatation. Please help me.
Im actually super proud of this. Might digitalize it + color it and make it my pfp. Or maybe keep it black and white. Who knows. Either way I love it.
