People Will Clown On Me For This Because He Killed Two People But I Just Love How Sweet Rodya Is. He

people will clown on me for this because he killed two people but I just love how sweet Rodya is. He is so cruel and mean and uncouth a lot or even most of the time, but then he does things like constantly thoughtlessly give the last of his money away to anyone who needs it more than him, cries when he’s in his psychotic episode and can’t remember who Razumikhin is, has that very sweet and tender moment with Polenka, begs the police to get a doctor for Marmeladov and says he’ll pay for it despite having nothing at all himself. At the same time he is capable of terrible things and is often terrible specifically to the people who love him and want to help, and oscillates wildly between the two. It’s that juxtaposition that holds so much of the interest of the narrative itself for me. A lot of people focus on how awful he is and while that is also honestly such a fun part of his character, that alone is not what makes him compelling to me. I have so much tenderness for his character despite what he’s done because he is just so mentally ill and has been through and been witness to so much hardship. He is not easy to love or understand but it’s so beautiful and sweet that Razumikhin, Sonya, his family and his other friends love him so dearly anyway. I truly think the suffering he is constantly surrounded by is the thing that has driven him to psychosis. Specifically I think of when he goes to the police station in part two and says he has been “shattered by poverty.” In these little moments of sweetness and lucidity towards others, even in the depths of his illness, we can still see the little boy in him who so desperately wanted to help that poor horse.

posts about the alt-right pipeline being compassionate towards young men while radical leftists shun and shame them are not fucking saying "the men are becoming violent because feminists are too mean!" and if that is your takeaway you need to get off tumblr until you've better honed your critical thinking skills.

those posts are talking about how effective the language and approach you take in your activism can be. this is literally cult deprogramming 101. if someone is being taken in by a violent or dangerous group, that violent or dangerous group is usually offering them compassion and solace while working hard to convince them everyone else in the world is their enemy. you are under no obligation to coddle or act compassionate toward these men and their violent ideologies, but if you have the means to try, it is something that you can do to make a tangible difference.

radicalized people are often only one loving friend or family member or external voice away from being de-radicalized. of course that is not always the case, but it very often is. a lot of y'all rightfully understand that you do not carry the burden of being that voice, but a lot of y'all also have a lot of internalized ideas about morals and punitive justice and have simply written off these people as deserving of only the worst and not worth saving.

ten years ago, my grandmother was a fox news watching republican who voted red in every election and very well could have fallen down the qanon rabbit hole if not for me and her daughter challenging her compassionately, walking her through hypotheticals that validated her feelings & proving why they were false, & being patient with her despite our extreme division in political ideology. it was frustrating fucking work! but i decided i wanted to do it, because i could see the horizon and i could see me making a difference!

"misogynists have been saying feminists are too mean for years, get new material" that is not the fucking POINT. the point is that you, feminist, can be the compassionate voice that guides your brother, your father, your cousin, your grandfather away from fucking becoming or staying a nazi. you can show them compassion and companionship. you can be the woman they think of when their alt-right bros try to convince them that women are the enemy. and you can choose to crystallize that image of yourself so wholly in their mind's eye as worth protecting that they may very well choose to reject those harmful ideas.

it's not saying you HAVE to do it! it's saying you CAN do it! don't you 'firebomb a walmart' people all love taking change into your own hands? where the fuck is that energy right now, huh?

Y'all, if you haven't listened to the audible version of 1984 with Andrew Garfield and Andrew Scott.... DO IT NOW!

They are both such brilliant actors and the whump *whimpers* is sooooo good. I'm not a big audiobook person, but Andrew Garfield whimpering and getting tortured (it's incredible), Andrew Scott being a twisted villain, and the loyalty to the actual book is phenomenal.

So please go listen. You won't be disappointed.

If I may, let me add a list of resources to support Ukraine as well.

I know that in internet/24 hour new coverage time it’s been an eternity since Ukraine was attacked, but we cannot forget them.

razomforukraine.org
donate.doctorswithoutborders.org
Boston-Based Non-Profit Helping Ukraine | Sunflower of Peace
Sunflower of Peace
Sunflower of Peace Foundation is a Boston-based non-profit organization committed to providing medical and humanitarian aid to Ukraine since

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

See the Winston/Julia/O’Brien love triangle would never happen because having any kind of queer relationship would never be greenlit by any of those executives (especially if these are the same Netflix executives that decided to make Dorian and Basil SIBLINGS in the new podg adaptation). The homoeroticism would hurt marketability, we can’t have that 😣.

not that there wouldn’t be a love triangle though. They’d probably just write in a new female character.

Everything else about this is painfully accurate.

Just waiting for some braindead capitalists in Hollywood or at Netflix to announce they're producing an adaptation of 1984 "but with a fresh, modern take", and then they're just ageing down all the characters so they can have a dystopian YA story where all the kids get sorted into one of the four ministries and somehow Winston and Julia's relationship gets turned into a love triangle because the producers add O'Brien to the mix for "some drama", and then they have Winston and Julia start a violent rebellion to overthrow the system which is spread out over 4 movies (or 5 seasons on TV), just so they can sell tons of overpriced eyeshadow palettes while an insane amount of "Which Ministry would you be in" quizzes pop up on the internet and ppl make stupid Newspeak TikToks, completely missing the point.

I’m tryna sext two different tgirls right now but I’m actually really bad with bedroom talk so I’m just sending them the other one’s messages and hope they don’t find out. It’s sort of like cheating at chess.

“My poor baby. My poor sweet little boy,” I lament out loud over a whole grown adult man who is not mine but is in fact a fictional character with fictional hurts. What matters is my feelings are real
