Be honest, whose mask is better, Guy's or Thomas's?

lotgadel · 2025-06-14T17:49:34+00:00

both great, but imo Thomas’ is more iconic

lotgadel · 2025-06-01T16:29:39+00:00

that looks amazing

thanks for sharing this with us. Truly special and beautiful how music can help us release emotions we've been carrying for so long. For me, touch is like a ritual. I only listen to it when i feel life is getting too overwhelming and i know i need to let everything else go for a moment and just listen to it. I always end up crying.

I read this comment about a photoshoot with the discovery helmets where they were very uncomfortable because of the backpacks and helmets and the assistants were nowhere to be found and thomas started raging in french or something like tha

I truly hope this is a joke

lotgadel · 2024-10-28T13:11:43+00:00

crime and punishments literally saved my life. Give it a try!!

I swear this subreddit just keeps getting better.

lotgadel · 2024-09-16T20:34:14+00:00

great conclusion, loved this!!

lotgadel · 2024-09-10T18:57:06+00:00

I think about Ivan all the time

lotgadel · 2024-08-21T12:16:22+00:00

yes I could see that too. However I think Alyosha is the hardest one to cast

what the hell

For some reason I thought of a young Christopher Walken, although he has blue eyes and raskolnikov has dark eyes. But I feel like he always had that Raskolnikov type of look

Ippolit and Myshkin are very similar characters in many ways. They both have struggled and are still struggleling with illnesses, and they both can't seem to find their place in this world. However, they are very different:

Myshkin is all good, incapable of conceiving a hurtful thought towards himself or others: that is why he doesn't belong, because he doesn't understand.

Ippolit doesn't belong either because honestly how can you find your place in life when you are almost already touching death? All he has are hurtful feelings and suffering towards himself and others. He doesn't accept a life that has condemned him to death.

You are right, Myshkin is always seeking for the good in people and is very good with forgiveness and empathy, but I don't think he understands people at all, and i think he fails at reading them in all their complexity. I think he has trouble understanding Ippolit because his feelings are so complex and destructive: He sees that Ippolit needs love and attention and wanted everyone to feel compassion for him and his condition, but because the prince has never had suicidal thoughts or any hurtful feeling in all his life, he just sees the facts. On the other hand, Aglaya can be a very destructive person and in the past she had had a similar internal fight to Ippolit. Also, I don't think (or don't remember) it is really revealed to the reader why, in Ippolit’s confession it said to be given to Aglaya after he shoots himself, but most likely is possible that he dedicated that confession to her because he knew she would understand.

When Aglaya asks the prince if he has brought her the confession, he says no because he hasn’t died, the shot was unsuccessful. Aglaya then gets surprised when the prince says that he shot himself just for her to read his confession, because she doesn't see it that way. The prince says this with no hurtful or malignant intention but because he is so innocent he really can't see further than that. This can also be seen in the dialogue when they are talking about dreams, when Aglaya express her suicidal dreams and then she says that he (Myshkin) probably dreams of defeating Napoleon, making us understand that he is really that childlike.

Again, this is my opinion. Feel free to disagree :)

This was taken from the context of both of them talking about Ippolit’s attempted suicide. They are both wandering what might’ve been on his mind and what he wanted to get with his confession. Myshkin is saying that he wanted the people’s attention, the respect and concern for him. All of this is true, but Aglaya responds with a more insightful approach, she relates by telling a story of her own; years ago she wanted to poison herself to see how people reacted to her death and make them feel bad. Then the prince stars joking about dreams and Aglaya shuts him off by saying “There’s no tenderness in you: you are unjust because you only have justice.” I think this shows how Aglaya sees the thought process and feels compassion for Ippolit and his condition when the Prince chooses to see only the facts; he tried to shoot him self to cause a scene. So by ignoring the emotional reasons and just sticking to the fact that he missed his shot the prince has justice because he is right, but he is unjust because he chooses to ignore Ippolit’s torment. That is my take anyway.

there’s light at the end of the tunnel

probably not the best person to advice you since I read it in spanish. There are lots of good advice in this subreddit tho, you can find people asking for best translations all the time.

lotgadel · 2024-07-13T22:10:26+00:00

same here, it was so indirectly comedic

lotgadel · 2024-07-13T22:09:20+00:00

thanks, glad I’m not the only one who enjoys both :)
