it's still so funny to me about twenty thousand leagues that with the polish to indian edit, jules verne failed upwards into making a far more progressive point about imperialism and period racism by making a man who is by all measures a wealthy genius who possesses knowledge that the western world could barely conceive of
an indian man.
which would have been an entirely unheard of concept. just the other day my mother sent me some stuff her older brother dug up from the indian colonial period (in case this breaches containment: i am indian-american, my mother and her brother were born in india and their parents experienced the end of the colonial period and the partition) including records that indian natives needed a permit to use a chair in a british office.
it might have been a behind the scenes edit to avoid provoking russia but making nemo "prince dakkar of bundelkhand" says something a hundred times more profound than the original draft.
So I just realized that two of my fictional crushes/blorbos- Captain Nemo, the OG literary crush, and Trafalgar Law, my latest interest- are tall, dark, and handsome submarine captains with anti-authoritarian beliefs and tragic backstories that made them devote their lives to enacting revenge against the people/entities that killed their loved ones.
I mean, the similarities end there- Nemo is (in my eyes, anyway) far more morally complex than Law, and while both had their families killed by government forces, Law's revenge is focused not on the government, but on the person who killed his surrogate father figure who helped him after the tragedy that killed his blood family, whereas Nemo's family was killed in a rebellion against an empire that had taken control of their home and Nemo's revenge is focused indiscriminately on any representatives of that empire- but I'm not saying "these characters are so similar!," I'm wondering... do I have a type
i talk at length about it in my video essay i'm working on, but without spoiling too much about that and/or the book itself, this bit in 20k is why the book NEEDS aronnax as the narrator. aronnax isn't just A sheltered white european academic, he's Symbolic Of sheltered white european academics. for all his talk about logic and science and being above emotion, he's still completely overtaken by victorian concepts of race, colonialism, and eurocentrism. and again without spoiling everything, nemo is driven by his incredibly complex relation/opposition to exactly that, and exactly the type of person aronnax is and represents. for how close they are the rest of the time, chapters like these force aronnax to show his hand and reveal why he can never truly meet nemo where he is.
The main plot of BG3?
I don't even remember that tpom episode
Kowalski is giving kinda Gale's profile pic vibes right here.
I can't be the only one seeing this...
Private is... Tav? Wyll? Volo? He looks so creeped out.
And there's also Rico chilling on the side... Astarion? Karlach? Durge?
Imma put Volo, Gale and Durge.
Mario Bros. Movie Impression (Non-English dubbed)
I watched the Super Mario Bros Movie today. It has the features you would expect from a Mario Movie. Liked it well enough. 7/10
The movie is about Mario and The Mario Bros. It’s not like some movies where the side characters leave more of an impression on you.(At least for me)
-Loved Luigi’s little mannerisms. Utter Cuteness
-Felt for Mario the most.
-The soundtrack adaptation was great.
-I understand why some people say it has pacing issues. The scene transitions threw me off the most.
The Dub.
-I didn’t watch it in English so idk about the original vocal performances. It was unexpectedly good for a dub, usually they feel awkward, even the lip sync issues didn’t detract from the experience.
- Since it wasn’t the original English version, I went into the theatre knowing that the choice of the cast wouldn’t personally bother me (in this case, I plan to watch it in English at some point) , though I understand why people are upset about Charles Martinet being glanced over in favour of a standard-sounding voice.
Spoilers(?)
-Disappointed but expected the lack of Bowuigi (we shouldn’t let that stop us though)
-Missed polterpup.
- It could cut some time from the training and racing and put it on emotional moments.
But it’s ok, it felt well connected to the games.
-Loved the family dynamic
-Loved that Cranky was there
-Liked the {[(B)]}romance between DK and Mario
- Mario’s parents looked related in a Mickey and Minnie way.
-I liked that it had a scene with the job that was rated on the Mario Bros. website
I didn’t expect it to be like that. I expected the mess to be dirt and clutter mess at most and that the dog liked them.
What sort of sh*t dog bone breaks like that?
-Loved that all the bad guys were at the Wedding.
-Loved the Bowser playing piano with Kamek part.
- I didn’t get who the mustached guy who wasn’t Mario’s dad was.
-Somehow the penguins left more of an impression on me than Peach. I don’t really have a problem with her, she just seems the most ready to face Bowser and you don’t fear for her.
-The Penguin king seemed kinda regal?....hot? IDK
I did the Math (and it ships Obikin)
According to “The Backstroke of the West”
Obikin (Allah Gold and Ratio Tile) is the Golden Ratio giving the value of the state The Force which is between 2 and 4.
8.12 is the triple 6 of the SW Universe because Palpatine.
My Calculations:
In which the Jedi are still a Hopeless Situation and Obi-wan is visualized as space Jesus more accurately than ever in a 16th century fever dream painting.
So, we know that:
Anakin = (Allah) Gold / The peaceful is willing to (a)
Obi-wan, (Alias the High ground) = Ratio (Tile) / The Willing to Compares (b)
Palpatine = Speaker D (X) = 8.12(4) = √66 [ aka root of (order) 66 ] (c)
So from (a) (b) and (c) we get the Golden Ratio for the state of the Force
C= A/O where
C is the state of the Wish Power/ Force A and O are the dark side values of Anakin and Obi-wan (Average Jedi/ Hopeless situation warrior) respectively and X is the current value (there were worst Siths than Speaker D) of the Sith Lord/ South Host Threshold.
At the darkest value of C ≈ X (Canon) Gold gets roasted and is Reaching the west of reaches and, sticking to the idea of Obi-wan being space Jesus, the High ground is low, so it’s technically Limbo. The Hieronymus Bosh one where Palpatine’s fat head devours his apprentices. (Technically Nihilus would be more fitting but Palps is the Sith Lord in Obi-wan’s story)
At the Realistic and stable values of 2 < C < 4 The peaceful is willing to compare locations for the best conditions for Golden Ratio of the balance of the Wish Power where they can settle down after giving the middle finger to the Presbyterian church and leaving the Hopeless Situation of the end ground for the High Ground.
Technically, Jinn could also be translated as gold but he isn’t even named in The Backstroke of the West, not even in the one line where he’s originally mentioned.
Neloth does the scout lines from TF2.
Meet the Neloth
We’ve all been there when we first go to Solstheim and ...
Neloth: Do you have any idea who you’re talking to? Basically kind of a big deal! I’m a force of nature !
Meet the Neloth from TD2. (Team Dragonborn 2)
(The original team Dragonborn is Martin and the Blades)
Scout has such Neloth Energy in this. Only Neloth owns it though. Also cubes.
Talos and Andraste <3

Andraste was a Mage (?)
If the Statue above the Urn of sacred ashes in the Gauntlet is a depiction of Andraste...
That looks mage-y to me. (Proof?)
This could be the (most likely) unaltered version of what the woman behind the title was.
And the priest cultist of Haven was a mage.

What if we started fake-dating to make my ex jealous but then developed real feelings for each other?
Haha, just kidding....unless...👀

If you stayed the age of your birth DAY forever, how old you would be?
I second this. To me, this looks right before the moment of internally shrieking to exhaustion and crawling up in the corner.
If any of you wondered what sensory overload feels like, my little sister drew something that displays it quite nicely.
I ship it 2! What do you call Sheo/Akatosh ship?
It could be Madragon but Akatosh is sort of already mad lore-wise.
Sheo-tosh? Akagorath?
*Akatosh exist*
Sheogorath:
Pretty much Mage!Warden intro/ harrowing. And the templars answer ‘‘Break a leg’’ and/or ‘‘f**k you*.

Reasons to appreciate Maestro Forte/ pipe organs:
He needs more appreciation. The pipe Organ/Organist made much more sense as a villain than most people think. Stuck in a Disney sequel. Wasted opportunity.
They did a wicked job of animating a Pipe Organ, though.
Who are you ? I don't want to make up stories. I don't want to make OOC. It wouldn't be you anymore. I wish I kew more ....
I remember maestro Forte!
Excellent work! You captured him perfectly!
I just realized he kinda reminds me of Mok Swagger from ‘‘Rock and Rule’’ who is also a musician.
