#Journey to the Center of the Earth

[a-book-of-creatures]

Illustration of an ichthyosaur encountering a plesiosaur, from Figuier's La Terre Avant le Déluge (1865).

This image by Édouard Riou was impressive enough that it inspired the battle between the ichthyosaur and the plesiosaur in Jules Verne's Voyage Au Centre de la Terre (Journey to the Center of the Earth) (1867).

Better still, Édouard Riou did the art for that book.

And best of all, he drew the battle twice, once for the frontispiece and once for the actual part in the book.

They don't really do much in the book besides pop out of the water, startle our protagonists, and rip each other to shreds, but it's one of JTTCOTE's most iconic moments. Wouldn't you want to witness a battle to the death between antediluvian marine titans on a vast sea in the center of the earth?

if i had known my hollywood crush when i was 11 year old was going to come back at just the absolutely most chaotic time in my life--adulthood--i would have no idea the repercussions

Josh coming back to take over teenage girls' world again and again.

Saw a comment like "Josh Hutcherson is the real Pennywise, he comes back every few years and then goes back to hiding in the dark."

It had me snorting. Lmao.

It would've been even funnier if Universal wasn't being such a dumbass and had promoted FNaF and given it a proper theatrical release. It had the potential to break several records set by It. Josh could've beaten Pennywise himself.

Jules Verne write a neurotypical protagonist challenge

[measlybeesly]

Josh Hutcherson has haunted me at every stage of my life.

When I was a kid, he was Walter from Zathura, Carl from RV, Jesse from Bridge to Terabithia, Steve from The Vampires Assistant, and Sean from Journey to the Center of the Earth. Then, when I was a teen, he was Peeta from The Hunger Games. Now that I'm an adult, he's Mike from FNAF. I can't escape Josh Hutcherson.

Though Jules Verne’s “Journey to the Center of the Earth” has a scientifically inaccurate title, his original title of “Journey to the Traversable Limit of the Asthenosphere” only sold 12 copies before the name was changed.

It had been three hours since Peeta hit the force field and Finnick had to resuscitate him.

You have been keeping a frantic eye on him, just in case there was another deadly object he wants to bump into (silly lil Peeta. You can’t take him anywhere fr fr). 

“y/n- I swear I'm fine. You don't have to keep watching me.” Peeta mumbles and glances at you.

“I know, I'm just scared.. Maybe you shouldn’t be so clumsy.” you tease, trying to calm some of your nerves.

“Ok, ok. I get it. I thought everyone knew I was the weak one in the alliance.” he chuckles and shakes his head.

 “What do you mean? You’re not weak, Peeta. You won the games.” you look at him and raise your eyebrow.

“Are you sure? I won the games because of you. I was just.. Lucky.” he looks back at you and shrugs.

“Lucky? Peeta, I’m the lucky one. We probably wouldn’t have made it together if you didn’t find those berries.” you sigh and scoot closer to him. He wraps his arm around your shoulder and squeezes you gently. “y/n.. Just because I found some berries, doesn’t mean I’m not weak. I’m just a baker.. You deserve someone who can take care of you.”

You gently grab his chin and turn his head to face you. “But you can. You’re the only person I feel safe with. And I like that you’re a baker. It makes you more adorable.” you giggle softly and stare into his eyes. 

“You’re just saying that.” he blushes faintly and rolls his eyes playfully.

“No, I'm not.” you brush away a piece of his hair and shake your head.

He smiles at you and wraps his other arm around you.

You rest your head in his lap and lean against him, smiling back up at him as he strokes your hair. 

“So it's true. I guess the ‘star-crossed lovers’ are actually real.” Finnick snorts, nudging Johanna next to him.

“Isn't it obvious? I thought it was hilariously clear when she started whaling on him and shouting at all of us after his heart stopped.” Johanna laughs, nudging him back.

“I thought she was gonna start punching me after i gave him mouth to mouth.” He laughs with her, glancing at the two of you.

“‘Peeta! Peeta! Omg Peeeetaa!!’” Johanna mimics you, laughing even harder with Finnick.

You glare at them and sit up from his lap. “Do you two ever shut up?”

“Oh please, we all know how you got that ‘baby’ inside you.” He grins and wiggles his eyebrows at you.

You roll your eyes and scoff. “You two make me sick.”

“Whatever, lover girl.” they laugh again and walk back over to the rest of the group

You sigh and lean back against him “I can’t stand them sometimes.” 

“Me either.. I just wish they would give us some time to ourselves.” he mumbles and kisses you on the forehead. 

“‘Wanna go for a walk? For a break?” you smile and raise your eyebrow

“Yeah, why not?” he smile back at you and stands up

“Hey ‘love birds’! Come back with another bun in the oven so we can get some sponsors, eh?” Finnick shouts and laughs harder. 

“Don't make me shoot you!” you shout back and grab his hand as you head deeper into the jungle.

You lean against a tree next to him and rest your head on his shoulder. “I miss home so much. I would do anything to have your cinnamon buns one last time before my stupid inevitable death.”

“Cmon y/n, you’re not gonna die. I’ll make sure of it.” he strokes the side of your head with his thumb. “Once we get home together, I’m gonna make you your own batch.” he chuckles and pecks the top of your head softly.

“Peeta, you know it's practically impossible to get out of this together, right?” you glance up at his face and smile sadly.

“I know, but I'm willing to risk those odds. I’m sure I'm lucky enough” he smiles back at you and moves his hand from your hair to your cheek.

You grin and pull him into a soft kiss. Not a forced one, for the cameras or for the capitol. A real kiss. 

“you don't have to kiss me if you don't want to.” he says after you pull away.

“I know.” you nod and kiss him again.
