" Elias gazed at him with such an indefinable expression that on seeing it one might have said that his whole life was concentrated in his eyes." WHY DOES THAT SOUND SO

Was it casual when you willingly jumped in a river when patrol came, and you sacrificed flesh, bone, blood, life, soul and your political standpoint for him?

I do believe Ibarra is based on Rizal but I wouldn’t really say he is his self insert. Rizal is wealthy, he did study abroad, he loved his country, etc. like Ibarra. However, Ibarra left it, became Simoun and contributed to the suffering of his motherland. Rizal sprinkled his traits on Ibarra but he didn’t write Ibarra to be him. Ibarra feels more like a criticism and a warning character, someone whose flaws and mistakes should be avoided. Elias seems like someone Rizal would like to be. (like uh an oc whos sort of written to be a better version of you in a way) Tasio also seems like he has a lot in common with Rizal, I don’t remember but I think he studied being a doctor to cure his mom as well? I forgot, I just know Tasio shares something with Rizal too

TLDR: I don’t think Ibarra is a self-insert. He’s more of an oc based on himself; same with Elias and Pilosopo Tasyo

Stop going insane over popular but not really popular among people to latch unto too much and make your entire personality base off of it or draw 25

Fandom: Noli Me Tangere & Related Works - José Rizal

Characters | Ships: Elias/Crisostomo Ibarra

Summary:

In a faraway, foreign land, Crisostomo Ibarra finds home in a man that smells like the sea.

"One room please," Crisostomo says in fluent German. Being a polyglot has uses - for instance, booking rooms at inns in order to escape the tyrannical clutches of the Spanish authorities.

Days of looking over his bloody shoulder as Elias dragged him to safety had turned into weeks of hiding from place to place. From the humblest bahay kubo to a rich friend’s abode, they sought mercy and compassion wherever it was found.

Unfortunately, such doesn’t seem to be found in Wilhelmsfeld. At least, not until Crisostomo fishes out silver coins. They were nearing the end of the supplies he’d brought, but it was no matter.

is this seriously the closest thing we're getting to the boat scene?? 😭😭😭

Elias and Ibarra Fanart

[crazyfortheclassics]

Did they make Elias more aggressive in Maria Clara at Ibarra???

Here’s what I remember from Noli

Elias attacks the Spanish authority but doesn’t kill them

Elias doesn’t believe in killing people. He held the man that was going to kill Ibarra in place and he doesn’t believe he murdered that man

Elias doesn’t believe in a necessary evil. Harming innocent people is the last thing he wants to do

Maria Clara at Ibarra Elias

Burned a Spanish officer to lead the Spaniards to believe he and Ibarra were dead

Murdered officers with guns with Fidel

What happened to a man can’t condemn another man to death Elias 😦

part of liking elibarra is acknowledging the uncomfortable truth that they would never work out in their universe. not just bc of the obvious real world implications but bc they simply clash too much. ibarra may try to look past that (as seen in him inviting elias to run away with him abroad) but elias knows its simply not possible. they are worlds apart.

ibarra has caused elias so much pain, even if he had no intention of doing so. he hurt him by being part of the eibarramendia family, by thriving at his family's expense. he hurts him by being dismissive of his pleads for reform, by siding with his oppressors, by chiding those who he deems below him- people that are just like elias, reduced to criminals. and he will hurt him again by being capable of change, by being someone worth saving. if ibarra continues down the path of violent retribution, he will hurt the many eliases of the country. elias knows this, and jumps off the boat anyway.

ibarra will hurt elias again and again and again. but elias will always choose to save him. because it's the right thing to do. because he has a real chance at sparking the revolution, even if their ideas of how it should happen differ massively. because unlike elias, ibarra was not made to suffer.

what im saying is jose rizal was a pioneer of toxic doomed yaoi
