"You don't see characters in classic literature telling people their pronouns" I mean, if we're gonna get technical, Captain Nemo only has pronouns.

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.

[The poll runner -hi !- has been informed that Nemo is so against propaganda he'd refuse to use any for his sake]

I appreciate reblogs for this post.

If Jules Verne didn't want me to make Captain Nemo a lady, he should have done more to fuck up the copyright system when he had the chance

Also a non-fem Captain Nemo

20k Leagues Under The Sea memes I made while weeping over the Nemo/Aronnax breakup playlist:

@penquinlori had the /fantastic/ idea to have Little Nemo from the old comic strip “Little Nemo in Slumberland” could be the son of Mira (my oc adopted daughter of Captain Nemo) and I loooove that! Especially since I was already thinking she could have adventures in Lovecraft’s Dreamlands after getting picked up by The White Ship or something. So her adventures there could make it so that her son is later able to slip into the Dreamlands as well. And he definitely grows up on a heavy diet of stories about his grandfather and mother’s adventures in the seas of Earth and the Dreamlands.

I am starting up my Patreon again next month! Consider joining for only a few dollars and see my upcoming Nemo comic development, as well as a backlog of designs and rambling :>

No propaganda yet for Captain Nemo

i am still salty about how they adapted him when book!euron is such a terrifying and disturbing villain.THE most evil motherfucker, he's dabbling in dark sorceries, he's trying to summon a kraken, fun stuff. his lips are stained blue from the weird wizard hallucinagens he's drinking.

“Captain Nemo remained motionless as if petrified in mute ecstacy.”
