The extremely literal approach to interpreting Crime and Punishment in the context of Fyodor's skill is making me gnaw my own leg. The relationship between the Eastern Orthodox eucharist in Crime and Punishment is also reflected in Fyodor's skill and isn't a particularly complicated analysis. It only requires a minimal, Sparks Notes-level of engagement, and y'all won't go beyond the title of the book.

Which, I suppose, is an improvement on the collective refusal to acknowledge bsd's references to the irl Great War, but I'm nevertheless. Tired.

#bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd fyodor #sorry i dont mean to be rude or expect everyone to engage the same way as i do #but i thought it was just an unfunny joke at first and no i keep seeing that as an “oh that's why his skill is called that”#/“is like that in dead apple”#and i am in. pain.#but i have no idea what i expected from the “absurdism means war has no meaningful causes” fandom #ive had actual conversations in which people refused to acknowledge the irl parallels until they were confirmed as literal in canon #so that is the level of like. refusal to pattern recognize that we've reached i suppose.#i may cope by sending my high school english teachers emails to thank them. i appreciate them a lot.#especially my 11th grade teacher; she got me into slaughterhouse five based on my interest in catch 22 #and was big into encouraging us to extrapolate lessons and parallels from stories
