#and just behaving like half corpse with occasional mood swings

[hanakihan]

oh my fucking god

my friend just texted me after finishing watching Monte Cristo adaptations and asked me why man went so hard on revenge shit because it’s not like his time in prison was that bad and he had treasure on him why not just move on or do it other way

head in hands

see that’s what I mean by adaptations missing the key point of his imprisonment time

without knowing what happened in château d’if, without understanding how much of his life was destroyed here along with his psyche and morals, without understanding that he was so destroyed that by the time he met abbe faria, even faria himself high key was regretting teaching/telling dantes who screwed him over because at this point he helped to finalize monster in dantes, because if faria didn’t tell him that, dantes would’ve never even decided to have revenge because he didn’t had need/target for it

i just keep noticing that people who watch adaptations without reading source material always get confused on ‘why’ of his revenge because the start and result don’t weight the same for them and such people more than right to ask the question what stopped him from starting new life with treasures faria left him

dantes with his wealth honestly could’ve simply hired assassins or mercenaries to kill people he deems responsible for his demise and call it a day. but no, he wastes even more of his years for a revenge and even went overboard with it because it’s extremely personal for him in his broken unhinged mind. his broken psyche concluded that death would be too easy for them, they need to go through equal amounts of hell he went through. because his revenge is more psychological torture focused than physical one, he is a broken man who doesn’t understand he overstepped boundaries of equal revenge and only snaps out of it when his plans backfire on people uninvolved.

his hyperfixation on such hard to execute and too complex revenge is pretty much what is keeping what remains of his broken mind and morals intact, since he in his head (as well as narrative) justifies his actions and goals based on what he went trough in prison. because if abbe faria didn’t unintentionally given him a goal, a target of revenge, even if he proceeded to escape and find a treasure, he simply would’ve started his life anew.

so yea adaptations missing on fatalism and mindfuckery of his time in château d’if is what ruins them all. book really gives you time to savor the shit he went through here, starting from time passage, changing of his cells and how ‘life’ around goes up to his mood and behavior changes through years, from hopeful hysterical boy to depressed apathetic half corpse who ironically considered his jailers as some sort of friends he can talk to even if they don’t talk back to him anymore

- ‘Plague” - Richard Sanchez - Admitted for being mentally insane, cannibalistic, and a serial killer. Judge deemed it unsafe to just put him into a prison. He was placed under the care of Dr. Sanchez to see if he can be ‘fixed’. He must wear a half face mask when out in the commons so he doesn’t bite others. He is also required to wear locked gloves as to not claw at others. If he behaves he may go outside on walks with a Nurse or the Head Doctor. Interviews maybe allowed if he is strapped down as to not hurt the outsider. If his muzzle is to be taken off in Common area’s it is only to eat and he must be monitored! He seems like a gentlemen, but that is how he lures others in. Is known for getting others to trust me, or play mind games with others. Night time he must be locked in his room, as this tends to trigger the more aggressive side of Plague. He can be found talking to Shadows in his room, as if they can talk back. Be very cautious when approaching, Nurses are advised to not approach him alone if he is in his room and unrestrained. - “Mort”  Mortimus Sanchez @itstherickestmorty - Admitted for showing signs of early aspd, disregard of human hygiene, multiple murders as well as self inflicted wounds on back and lower waist. has a god-complex, must wear straight jacket and muzzle to avoid biting and mutilation. sociopaths and recovering from a psychotic break.

Avoid removing it from him if possible and sedate him if it is a necessity.

-  ‘Ricky/Starry’ - Ricardo Sanchez @rickw-210​ - Admitted for having a mental breakdown, after a suicide attempt, it was believed that Rick had murdered his wife and unborn child as well as 4 other people.. He actually gained extremely bad amnesia from his attempt. He tends to be fairly innocent and avoids contact with people. He is not allowed to be alone and if found alone must be escorted to his room. He must take his pills for depression and should be forced to sleep within his bed then within his blanket pile. But he is usually forced to have to go therapy and hypno therapy.

-    “Mr. Winter” - Ryszard Sanchez @bloodykissboy-   sentenced for committing mass murders, serial homicides, taking part in homosexual acts and orgies, disrespect of corpses, tortures. Took for questioning he admitted his victims were either looking “In the wrong way” at him or “had demons in their gaze”. The most preferable way of taking the others life was choking to death or performing surgeries and harvesting organs for “latter researches”. Mr. Winter is isolated and chained during the social activities for the sake of other fellow prisoners. His hands must be  tied during social activities which don’t involve manual working and chains during activities when he have to use his hands. If he starts to get violent or sexual towards others, put him into a straight jacket right away. -  “Dead Eye” – Rick Sanchez @ask-36-e​ – Admitted after being discovered assaulting multiple individuals by police. It is thought he lost his left eye in a similar situation, but he will not say. Family killed in front of him – has night terrors and sudden mood swings as result – make sure tranquilizers are always at hand. If pushed too far, or asked or told something specific that reminds him of the incident, he can snap and become violent very quickly - towards both fellow patients and staff alike. Often quiet, being either soft spoken or remaining silent. For the most part seems blank, emotionless, tired. More often than not, he treats the staff with respect, mostly due to the fact that they are the 'authority figures'. Won’t participate in group activities unless heavily coerced (which can trigger a violent episode). When outside of room can commonly be found in the day room, seated in the corner or staring out a window. Can only have visitors with staff present. Room alone

-   “Void” Diedrich Sanchez @voidyrick  - Admitted for murder related to cult activity. Displays a persistent grandiose delusion consisting of the belief that they are being inhabited by a ‘living void’, the god of their former cult’s religion. Reported behaviors include hyperphagia and pica. Must be supervised during meal times to prevent harming themselves- as they will not stop eating.

Rivet is extremely nervous and unpredictable, whether he experiences a hallucination, or has a panic attack, he can often be a danger, although mostly to himself. He is terrified of loud noises, sudden movements, and new people. He is to be taken out at least twice daily for interaction to attempt to ease his paranoia and allow him to become more comfortable interacting with others. Experiences night terrors and is often willing to do anything to get away from someone. Even if it means killing himself. There are a select few that he feels safe with. His Morty was killed by another Rick, whom Rivet murdered gruesomely but was exempted from charges due to the nature of the murder. Should be restrained during any of his episodes, and carefully monitored. He is afraid to take his medication therefore must be administered via injection.

- “Space” Morty Smith @lostinspacemorty - refused to give a more proper name, and one could not be found, admitted for many murders and taking part in homosexual acts.  He is often oddly calm, but sharp objects can easily send him into a state of panic unless he is the one holding them, and he sometimes attacks others for no ostensible reason.  He was found sitting with his latest victim, watching them die, and he attacked the officers who interrupted his ritual.  He killed most often by disembowelling, though he has been known to slit throats.  His first victim was his Rick.  He is often seen touching his old scars and fights any attempt by anyone else to touch them, though he does occasionally show them to those he trusts.  He may be physically weak, but he is fast and clever, and has overpowered those three times his size and strength.  Soft objects seem to calm him, though not always.  He is not to be allowed outside without an escort, and he should be watched when interacting with others.  If given any medication, avoid syringes if at all possible.  If impossible, restrain the patient as much as possible and sedate.   ___________________ [[ I will also be playing NPCs in the AU, so if you want something to happen that would require one, let me know! ]]
