La ingenuidad es solo la falta de conciencia de algo pero la gente piensa que "inocente" es una persona que está libre de culpa o de pecado, que no tiene malicia o mala intención. Solo que este concepto no tiene sentido, por que las personas tienen malos pensamientos. En algún momento todo el mundo a deseado que alguien más deje de existir, que les suceda algo, que desaparezcan... Y los pensamientos son nuestros impulsos. ¿Cómo podrían ser inocentes si a pesar de que no lo muestran, lo sienten?

[itsawritblr]

Jam!

Hark! A Vagrant! creator Kate Beaton did two Holmes & Watson cartoons I just adore.

Another Case of Watsons.

She also created the Edgar Allan Poe/Jules Verne comic that's been used for many memes.

Professor Otto Lidenbrock (Journey to the Center of the Earth) "Because he has a deep and abiding obsession for what lies below. Even as his companions are losing their sanity and hope, he urges them to just keep going deeper. He has a deep and abiding obsession for geologic formations, and longs for the places in which there can be no sky. Yeah basically our boi loves his caves."

Montresor (The Cask of Amontillado) "He not only buries his "friend" alive, but does so with a calm and pleasant demeanor all while listening to the increasingly pleading and desperate screams of Fortunato."

ok finished at the mountains of madness.

it was actually really good, i would even say great, i was glued to the page by the end. lovecraft knows how to write a climax.

and with that concludes the antartic trilogy! final thoughts?

verne is definetly the loser here, his story is a lot more tedious and the slavish way in which he sticks to poe's canon plays against it. he was much more interested in the human element, in dirk peters and godon pym and captain guy and he basically ignores all supernatural hints dropped in gordon pym.

lovecraft on the other hand grabs those few supernatural elements and runs off in an entirely new direction, all his own. he builds upon, he extrapolates, at times divorcing himself entirely of the original story and doing his own thing only to connect it back with a thin thread at the very end.

between poe and lovecraft i have to say poe is the better classical writer. gordon pym is a proper novel of adventures and he is masterful in letting the tension rise and fall and the emotions flow. in a sense its the perfect balance if you were to mix antartic mystery and mountains of madness in one single book. on the other hand lovecraft is too good at being lovecraft, noone does lovecraft like he does and that hews much closer to my own heart. the fact that his story is shorter also helps.

there is a definite throughline here about man vs nature. i figure the miniseries the terror makes a great companion piece for this, albeit that one happens literally at the other side of the world. the polar lands are alien and impenetrable and how disorienting, how vertigo unducing is the fact that this other world is actually part of our world. if i were to condense the themes of this trilogy in one single phrase, it would be the classical and undying script at the border of all maps "here be monsters"

What will it be like if Digimon Adventure 02 had a "Neverland" arc?

If that was the case, we see a crossover with Digimon and Peter Pan. Plus, if Digimon paid tribute to classic literature, poetry, and drama, the arc would've featured original texts and dialogues from these great authors of all time.

William Shakespeare

Hans Christian Andersen

The Brothers Grimm

Rudyard Kipling

Victor Hugo

Jules Verne

Arthur Conan Doyle

Edgar Allen Poe

Robert Louis Stevenson

Charles Dickens

H.G. Wells

A.A. Milne

L. Frank Baum

Lewis Carroll

J.M. Barrie

Imagine the astonishing adventures the DigiDestined and their friends will have if they encounter Peter Pan and travelled to Never Never Land. I figure it would've been amazing to introduce kids to the world of literature through the stories and characters created by these brilliant writers.

a thing I learnd that made me happy - Jules Vern wrote and published Edgar Allan Poe fanfiction

[feeshies]

Tbh, my interpretation is that Captain Nemo was too caught up in his own revenge and trauma to feel any emotional attachment towards Aronnax, but Aronnax always gives all of their interactions more weight and importance than they actually had.

Captain Nemo: Hey. Aronnax writing in his diary that night while kicking his feet in the air: Captain Nemo said hey to me. What does that mean?

Aronnax's story is about discovering the wonders of the ocean, and perhaps a queer allegory.

Nemo's story is about anti-imperialism.

Midnight Pals: Desert Planet 2

Frank Herbert: hey man Fitz James O'Brien: hey Herbert: so uh Herbert: you got any more of that Herbert: special stuff? O'Brien: maybe O'Brien: why don't you sit down and play some mariokart with me for a while

Herbert: also they have to use the space cocaine to fly cuz computers are haram Herbert: hey is anyone eating this san pedro cactus? Jules Verne: what? no Herbert: anyone mind if i…?
