I made a Brothers Karamazov heights lineup based on research for historical accuracy + my opinion!

I made some transparent versions of the figures as well

Katerivan nation do we see the vision

[nikolajrostovs]

tbk characters as decades of 19th-20th century western fashion because i have a really clear vision for this and i'm too lazy to draw it so you get to imagine it instead

Ivan Karamazov - 1800s

This one isn't really about what he would look good or feel comfortable in, but rather the fact that he reminds me of a bitchy tortured Austen man. And that's coming from someone who doesn't like Jane Austen in the slightest. I like Ivan well enough though. I guess. Honorable mention to 1910s men's fashion though.

Mitya Karamazov - 1830s

Big strong man with wide shoulders and a grabbable chest? In 1860s fashion??? The shapeless boxy hell that is 1860s men's fashion? He was robbed. So hard. Put that man in a tight-fitting hourglass-shaped puffy-sleeved coat. For the love of god. Why did he have to be born in 1839? This is the worst thing Dostoyevsky has ever done to me.

Pavel Smerdyakov - 1840s

Dandyism PEAKED in the 1830s-40s. He can get a little cunty with it. He deserves that much.

Lise Khokhlakova - 1840s

I don't care if she's only a supporting character. I'm including her because she's very dear to me. There's something youthful but melancholy about 1840s fashion. Lise</333 be happy..

Katerina Verkhovtseva - 1870s

I think a good bustle would fix her. Also PLEASE appreciate the picture I picked because those ladies remind me SO MUCH of the homoeroticest girlies of all time katya and grushenka. Is that not how that scene with them went?

Alyosha Karamazov - 1880s

Something about late Victorian fashion that just screams Alyosha. He's no dandy but he still wants to look nice. Yes this is influenced by his clothes in the latter part of the Soviet adaptation. He looks good in this American sack suit style.

Grushenka Svetlova - 1900s

This one was really difficult to decide because any era is a Grushenka era. In the end I decided that late 1900s fashion works well for her. It's graceful and feminine, but quite modern, and definitely not well-received by everyone.

Cheers thanks for reading bye

Uh. I drew a weird thing trying to convey my thoughts about Katya's self sabotaging yet overbearing form of love

13 years after the events of the book ivan is a somewhat famous journalist, probably due to some controversies. he's rushing off home after a dull work of editing.

he's been feeling overall depressed in the past few weeks. he's trying to write down the great inquisitor once and for all, but deep down he's concerned about the critics and his own skills. mitya and grushenka are nowhere to be found, alyosha is up in the mountains teaching little kids the abc. he's got no friendly faces in moscow.

he sighs and takes a turn, when all of a sudden he bumps into someone coming from the opposite direction. he ends up on the ground. the first thing he notices are flowers - yellow flowers scattered on the ground. then an all-too-familiar scent of milk and honey. the stranger apologises, lands out a hand, and before his eyes look up his heart has recognised her.

her face seems more tired, a few silver strands peek through her hair, but her charm hasn't left her. katerina is still as beautiful as the day he'd left her. screw the articles, he thinks, and in a matter of seconds he's invited her for a drink.

they catch up, talk about family business and reminiscence the past. she's married. they've been trying for a child but no use. he's all by himself in a big apartment on the sadovaya. seldomely gets visits, never from the people he'd like to see. some things are just meant to be this way.

she's read one of his articles. two, actually. maybe three. perhaps a bit more. there's even a possibility she's cut them out and kept them at the bottom of a drawer next to her bed.

well, if she knew he was in town all along, why didn't she drop by to say hi? they hadn't left on good terms. to be honest, their last goodbye was pretty cold - almost indifferent. she thought reaching out for a stranger was not right. and quite frankly, she was still way too prideful to make the first move, though she never would've admitted it. they were older now. one would expect them to be wiser too.

how about they try again?, he proposes. two seconds later he's already regretting it, but he decides to blame it on the alcohol he's barely touched. she seems hesitant, so he promises to show her a secret project he's been working on as a proof of their renowned friendship.

he leads her to his apartment and she's the second witness ever of his cursed poem. she reads the first page and he's sweating like a sinner in church. she makes herself at home and sits down on the divan, completely immersed. at page five she stops. could he read it out loud for her? it'd be much more impactful. matter of fact, why doesn’t he turn this into a play?

ivan doesn't answer, just complies. she's back with her tortures, but he can't understand why. when he's done he's almost afraid of looking back at her. she's staring at him in awe. she's always known he was one mess of a genius. to think that she'd always despised chaos... what exactly did he do to her?

he should turn it into a play, that's her final statement. a wonderful play with splendid costumes and the best actors of moscow. she can help with the money. she can even help with the editing. it feels good to help, to see right through and not to look away - and this time it's not martyrdom, no. it's something more genuine to inspire her. it's almost love.
