Crime and Punishment: Incorrect Quotes
I would never stop thinking about this novel. I never will. So here I bless you with some incorrect quotes that I wrote on our beloved characters! Hope you like it!
Porfiry, giving a whole damn monologue throughout the novel:
Raskolnikov, internally resisting the urge to not bring his axe out again: .. you're all good, Rodya. You're all good.
---------------------------
Raskolnikov, talking about Luzhin: I said, that I don't think that he's good for you!
Dunya: How do you know what's good for me?
Raskolnikov, in an outburst: That's my OPINION!
Dunya, shocked:
Pulcheria, confused:
Razumikhin: .. oh.
---------------------------
Raskolnikov: I might have to beat someone up just to get rid of all this blind fury.
Razumikhin: Oh, wow..
Raskolnikov: Now I feel pretty sorry for the next guy who looks at me funny.
Razumikhin: Hm.. what about that guy?
Raskolnikov, turns around to see Porfiry smiling at him sinisterly:
Raskolnikov, faints and passes out: Bozhe moy—
---------------------------
Luzhin: Yup, sometimes you got to beat the ladies off with a stick!
Luzhin, swinging his stick: Back woman! Back, I said!
---------------------------
Sonya: Ha! Footprints in the sand.. but then you turn around and see another set. Cause Jesus was with you, all along.
Camera pans to the next person beside her: .. but my name is Raskolnikov?
---------------------------
Svidrigailrov, when he kills his own wife so he can marry Dunya but gets rejected after getting almost shot by her:
Svidrigailrov: Well, guess I'll die? *shrugs with the gun in his hand*
---------------------------
Raskolnikov: I'm Napoleon. I'm a hero. I'm strong. I'm brave. I did something for society and humanity. Why should I be —
The old artisan: You're a murderer.
Raskolnikov, walks away: Nope. I'm not Napoleon. I'm a failure. I've been sinned. Sorry Mama. Sorry Dunya. *soon faints in between*
---------------------------
Luzhin, exists:
Raskolnikov: How dare you breathe in our presence?!
Luzhin: Then am I not supposed to breathe? Why don't you do the same?
Raskolnikov: At least I'd be happy to die knowing you died with me too. *flips off at him*
---------------------------
Alyona, lying on the floor dead:
Raskolnikov, stares at her dead body: .. well shit.
Raskolnikov, making a cool pose: But at least I've got that money!
---------------------------
Fyodor Dostoevsky, creates Crime and Punishment:
Me, travelling back in time, and bowing down next to him: Thank you for writing such an amazing book. It changed my life.
Fyodor: But I just wrote this book about human suffering?
there is an IMAGE in my HEAD and i cannot DRAW IT. hatred and rage.
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.
Wait that’s fucking weird lol
Behold! Arani!
His name comes from the word arachnid. Cause like... spider... lily.
Hes like a true being of chaos and I love him for that. I even digitized him!
Then we got chari, the negotiator of the spider lily. I swear he's looks better in practice, I just didn't do him justice.
Here's his og design. I redid the clothes but the face is the same.
Then we got cethin, the treasurer.
He's the brother of chari, but they have a rivalry due to their difference in rank. Chari covers his left eye, which is an indicator of their bond.
All I got for them so far. But I mean, whatever. They're fun.
Next is my favorite in their dynamic! The court of the aconite.
Made with love, a random pencil, and a dollar store calligraphy pen.
Its.. it's just a stickbug samurai that my sibling wanted me to draw from their weird critter universe.
he looks like he's in a manga panel, and I love him dearly.
Edit: I added Japanese maple leaves to the background.
someone please draw gortash as a cat right now.
shoutout to this lady in sorcerous sundries that named her cat lord pawtash btw
I genuinely can't stand pop psychology I'm not an expert on this stuff but the damage it has done to the general public's understanding of mental health and psychology must be notable. People with low empathy are evil. NPD is The Abuser Disorder. here's how your partner is subconsciously manipulating you. OCD is when you like cleaning. If you ask him a question and he looks away for one second he's lying to you and abusing you. Follow for more dark psychology tips. Letting my intrusive thoughts win and dyeing my hair. I thought this guy was into me I'm so delulu. Anyone who comes to you with their problems is traumadumping and abusive. Anyone who gives you gifts is lovebombing and abusive. Being neurodivergent means Liking Things. Neurotypicals don't like things. They are empty shells without feelings. Neurodivergent means ADHD or ASD. What, BPD? Schizophrenia?? That's not very quirky or fun. And that's what neurodivergent means. That's just weird. Being mentally ill isn't an excuse to be weird. Only Evil People manipulate and abuse. There are certain people who Are Evil by nature (people with NPD) and they Will abuse you. Loving someone means it's impossible to abuse them only Evil People Who Hate You are abusive. Have I mentioned that people with NPD are evil. I really want to drive that home
