Tumblr will bring back SUPERWHOLOCK in this new age of serialized classic novels by email, but it will be the SUPERNATURAL horror of fighting Count Dracula, the question of WHO is Captain Ahab (or maybe Captain Nemo, you could go either way on this, your choice) and SHERLOCK is actually still Sherlock but like the original one this time.

okay to understand why I laughed at this you first need to know that the French word for "pencil" is "crayon"

You know I want you to reblog this so I get more answers

I AM CRYING this book is a COMEDY they’re about to be attacked by a sea monster and they’re straight up inventing abbot and costello routines

Shout out to Ned Land for calling it like it is. Conseil is too polite to mention it, but Ned don't care. If this is going to happen in front of his (seaweed) salad, then he's not letting anyone forget it.

but a hate so monstrous or so sublime that the passing years could never weaken it

Aronnax was so gothic heroine for this....

I’m going to say, because it doesn’t hurt anyone, that this whaling ship was the Pequod, and that this counts as a Whale Weekly/Moby Dick crossover.

Nemo literally taking Aronnax on a midnight hike to Atlantis and showing him his secret sanctum at the bottom of an extinct volcano like what in the blatant romance tropes

I've been daydreaming about my imaginary 20k Leagues adaptation all day

Character design notes:

I wanted Aronnax's clothes onboard the Nautilus to resemble Nemo's the most both in color scheme and silhouette, signifying how he was thoroughly won over by the captain's way of life. Similarly, Aronnax's facial hair and grown-out hair texture starts to resemble Nemo's as well the longer he stays onboard.

Conseil's clothing is closer in style to Aronnax's. Also his appearance barely changes over the many months he stays onboard the Nautilus.

Ned's style stays the same onboard the Nautilus, but his color scheme becomes gradually more muted as the story progresses.

Nemo's clothing (and the clothing of those on the Nautilus) is not supposed to accurately resemble any real-life historical clothing. This is to represent how Nemo has distanced himself from the rest of the world and how ahead of their time his inventions are, and definitely not me copping out because I'm afraid of getting things wrong with drawing period-accurate clothing.

no more sailing

I could barely glimpse the swift passing of longnose sharks, hammerhead sharks, spotted dogfish that frequent these waters, big eagle rays, swarms of seahorse looking like knights on a chessboard, eels quivering like fireworks serpents, armies of crab that fled obliquely by crossing their pincers over their carapaces, finally schools of porpoise that held contests of speed with the Nautilus. But by this point observing, studying, and classifying were out of the question.

You know it's bad when observing, studying, and classifying are out of the question.
