Titya Karamazov

So I’m still rate limited on Twitter and the site managing of it still sucks, so I guess I’ll go back to using Tumblr a lot more…

good evening to youngest siblings that are the glue holding their families together, bpd girlies, religious people with weird genders, women that have homoerotic tension, middle siblings plagued by visions, lapsed catholics, kids that bite fingers, broke eldest sibling alcoholics, and dying monks

"Those innocent eyes slit my soul up like a razor."

Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

The album cover of Porcupine Tree’s Fear of a Blank Planet, but it’s a cover for Dostoyevsky’s Demons.

Textless version and reference under the cut!

Opposite of "came back wrong" is "stayed exactly the same." Oh you want so badly to pretend that you have changed. You changed your face, you changed your name, you started leaning into a whole new role, but I know you. I know you. I know who you used to be, and I can see that person shining through you still. You can fool the world you can fool your friends you can fool yourself but you will not fool me.

I just saw a post talking about Jesus in Luke 22:42 and the quote was very familiar… Then I realized that it’s very similar to what Mitya says in Book VIII, chapter 8, “remove this cup from me”… Which belongs to Mark 14:36, after the Last Supper and before Jesus’ arrest and torments… Mitya quotes it when he abandons the celebrations, in a moment of suicidal urges, agonizing over the guilt over the murder he thought he had committed and his shame… Even when he returns to his “queen”, his heart knows suffering awaits. As someone who didn’t have any religious education, I learnt of the context of the Bible quote just now, and I’m just amazed at how prevalent the imitation of Christ is in this work, even more so when it happens in such a Dionysian chapter. I find the contrast and convergence between Heaven and Earth fantastic (something similar happens in Book VII chapter 4, “the mysteries of the Earth touch the mysteries of the stars”).
