I finished to read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Seas by Jules Verne, which is a unique masterpiece of science fiction literature, that is adventurous, creative and thrilling.

Battle of the Captains

Round 3 Part 2 Poll 2

Propaganda

Captain Flint was the captain of a pirate ship, The Walrus, which accumulated an enormous amount of captured treasure. On August 1, 1750, Flint and six members of his crew bury the plunder on an island located somewhere in the Caribbean Sea. Flint then murders his six assistants, leaving the corpse of one with its arms outstretched in the direction of the buried treasure. The location of the treasure had been marked by Flint on a map and while he was dying it entrusted to his first mate William "Billy" Bones. The only person Flint was said to fear was his quartermaster John Silver, who later even called his parrot "Captain Flint" in mockery.

Finding out that Mr. Heathcliff is a person of color I wonder if past adaptations also portrayed him like that or casted a white man for his role

This is my first personal character design project, it’s a younger version of captain nemo from 20000 leagues under the sea.

Esse é o meu primeiro projeto pessoal de design de personagem, uma versão mais nova do captão nemo de 20.000 léguas submarinas.

Hi Dave!!!! How was travel??!! How was vacation!!!! I hope you had fun! I have nothing particularly profound to say I just wanted to say hi :)))))

MAURAAA HIIIIII HELLOOOO <3333

travel was exhausting. we had our flight at 9pm last night and we arrived at around midnight, and i was home at roughly 3 am. plane was awful mostly due to sensory issues. got to sleep real long and chill today so :-)

as for vacation!! it was really fun. very very hot, i enjoyed the sights a lot, got a lot of inspo for architecture drawings, though ngl i was kinda going through it mentally 😭 im much better now though

i read a lot (lotf, about 3/4 of 20.000 leagues under the sea, and half of good wives) and while i was reading good wives i got to *the* part. and it was in the plane and i tried SO hard not to cry. and in general i was getting very emotional over it (as always.. it was the same thing with little women)

AND HOW'RE YOU DOING !!? HOW'S STUFF!!!

Summer reading/writing/arting tag

Tagged by @naivesilver loved reading your answers :D

1) Describe one creative WIP you plan on working on over the summer. Oh that's tough. I have too many WIPs, out of them I think Leon crossdressing would be the one I really want to see finished. Also my The Old Guard DP art!

2) Recommend a book! 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea: it's light enough that it's a good summer read. There's underwater amazing stuff that will refresh your thoughts. You got that homoerotic subtext of a sweet French scientist with everybody else. And the story is actually good.

3) Recommend a fic! the wilderness that waits by van1lla_v1lla1n if the ocean is not enough to cool you, this is an amazing fic from The Terror. Tozer is snowblind and his feet are frozen, but Armitage takes good care of him <3

4) Recommend music! My brain is empty atm, but just go listen to Italian music.

5) Share one piece of advice! Install Air Conditioning. If you're on the fence because "but I can tolerate the heath if I try harder" we don't have to suffer!! It will make your life better and summers are not getting any cooler. (obviously if you love heat or you live in a country where's cold already it doesn't apply XD) So I guess advice is really: if you can do something legal to suffer less DO IT.

Tagging everyone who wants to do it.

I've been getting out too much in this week, I'm not built for this all I want now is to just perish somewhere- Apart from my less-than-fantastic thoughts and my almost collapsing, I've been to a bookstore for the first time ever! It was, fabulous, fun and aesthetically beautiful to see all those books together, I also felt incredibly out of place and I think my legs almost gave out on me during my time there due to extreme social anxiety, but all in all, it was great I returned home with Eragon (the first book) and 20.000 Leagues under the Sea, the first due to recommendations (Hi Era, hi Rok), the second because I am currently reading another of Verne's books, which is Journey of the World in 80 days, and I got pretty hooked on it, so more Verne will probably be a good thing for me Oh, I also passed by my local Gamestop and got Tales of Arise used at a reasonable price, so triple win today And that was my blog about my day that nobody asked but I'm going to do regardless much more often, I guess (and hope) I'll see you next time, good night (I'm dying over here-)

20k Leagues as science fiction

Mod Pluto: As a participant in Dracula Daily, I've been following the discussions of how technology is celebrated in that novel, and makes for an important part of it. I'm excited to see the similar discussions that I'm sure will spark in this book club as well, due to 20.000 Leagues Under the Seas being a science fiction novel.

We'll get to see more exemples of how Verne explored the theme in further chapters, but for now we can see how science contemporary to the writing of the novel fails to explain what we know to be a submarine. In 1870 only 5 submarines existed in the world, and they were all small, the first being made to accomodate only a single crewman. So the characters' confusion , and the conclusion by some of them that this can only be a monster, are completely understandable.

I like the detail of the isosceles triangle. It shows early on how scientific the mysterious "creature" truly is, and increases the mystery as to how such a thing can come to be.

I'm also fond of the line "wit had defeated science", as it reminds me of several occasions in the real world in which science is disregarded or mocked by people who think that, because they're not personally interested in it, it's not important. I don't know if that's what Verne had in mind, but it's where my thoughts went.

All in all, I'm excited to see all the 19th century science and science fiction that are still to come in this book!

Round 2 Part 2 Poll 4

Propaganda

RHS is my current fictional crush. It’s been years at this point. He’s a pirate but amazing. He is one of the least seen characters and yet he is one of the most important to the series. Luckily the story is winding down so his role is increasing!!! He has the legacy of the King of the Pirates but whatever he’s doing is a different end game. He is generally taken to be a slut. But like positively. He taught Luffy all the kid knows about what is important about being a Pirate, including knowing which fights are worth you time. He also gave luffy the Hat. It was Rogers hat first. Plus the current emperors (himself plus 3) are all connected to him somehow. His crew is 100% there to back him up, and his fleet seems to be made of rejects, which is so kind and welcoming of him! And he’s probably the nicest (before Luffy) emperor to live in the territory of. And finally his appearance is Amazing! He’s got that giant scaring on his face that increases his hotness. And we still don’t know how he got it exactly, but it promises to be a great story! Plus he lost his left (dominate) arm saving little Luffy. And his hair is Red. And I’m obsessed with his clothes, especially the pants patterns.

Fox Host’s Walz Attack Backfires BIG TIME

COMMENTARY:

The leading edge of the Green New Deal is the fan based of Taylor Swift, the fan base of Beyounce and Mark Cuban's DEI/ZenBusiness performance technology that is being driven by Biden;Harris Build Back Better capital budget. That's the story you need to get out. In 1956, we were all living, globally, in a Yellow Submarine in a 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea kind of way,  Eisenhower proposed to transform that Yellow Submarine into Starship America with his 1956 Presidential Platform,. We Have almost completed Stage 2 of that transformaion process with the completion of Reagan's New Federalism, which is providing the social, material and legislative infrastructure pushing  the DEI performace cultures of the production companies of Taylor Swift and Beyounce, This is waht the Studion v SAG negotiations were all about: the Quality Assurance buiness model of Mark Cuban's resume, beginning with Indiana Univerity, and the Green New Deal. One of the mistakes Marx made about large system performace was to scoff at England as a nation of shop keepers. Eisenhower's transformation outcomes included making America a nation of self-actualizing entrepreneirus is a pursuit of happiness kind of way, George Bailey and Amos and Andy were Eisenhower's architype for the community banking emphais of Nixon's banking and securities policies. Reagan understood exactly what Eisenhower's intentions were with his bddget because Governors were at the heart of the new States Rights model of Reagan.s New Federalism. Reagan was going to take credit for everything that came before him and win a Nobel Pricze for eisther Polcitical Science or Economics, which  would have been a monument to the social engieering of Eisenhower's brain trust at Columbia before he became POTUS. The New Federalism was never implemented by the any Republican White House because of Project 2025, In contrast, the Democrats bought in completely to the New Federalism because, if Carter had been re=elected, Stuart Eizensdt would have created the critical mass necessary to laundh the paradigm shift to the Green New Deal, Eisenstdt was sitting on the bridge of Starship America and the next step was to mobilize America like after Pearl Harbor and invent the Green New Deal. Eisenstadt was a cunt hair away from that critical mass when he had to pack up and hand the keys to the Reagan people And, if Reagan had seriously foucused on keeping his campaign promise like Nixon had, we would have achived the Starship Capitalism of 2001:A Spce Odyssey by 2001. If you replace Pan Am with SpaceX, that squandered  40 years because of the cunti hair of Project 2025, Biden/Harris have been making up for lost time with Build Back Better and Mark Cuban is leading the way into Starship America.

I've only put titles translated in English here, this actually doesn't reflect French SF scene very well.

French SF has a good reputation (so far, I'd say it's an honest one) so I find it quite pluzzing that so very few works had been translated in English (I had to look at the SFF Translations Awards to have enough different names on this poll. I couldn't find 9 names of authors translated in English). I won't talk. We had French SF writers after Jules Verne...

I mean.... Damasio, Bordage, Wul, Merle, Dufour, Klein, Curval ? (And all the others I didn't think of)

We even have a 'young' generation with Gaborit, Lucazeau, Colin, Clavel, Genefort and Calvo (I love her works).
