Aronnax the scientist with āØRizzāØ
(Iām about to yap, so be prepared. This wonāt include everything. Comment below if you have more.)
Iām looking back after reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for like the millionth time⦠and I couldnāt help but notice how everyone just collectively seems to be into Professor Aronnax
Lets talk Conseil first. My man would do ANYTHING for Aronnax with no hesitation. Yeah maybe heās just loyal butā¦let me just get some lines from the book that are kinda crazyā¦.let me..find some lines.
Here is one from āaccident or incidentā
āI seized Conseil's hand. Our looks expressed our feelings better than words.ā
ugh how sweet! And Conseil would literally do ANYTHING for Aronnax. Like hereās some other lines.
āāOh, if only I didn't have to breathe, to leave more air for Master!āIt brought tears to my eyes to hear him say these words.ā
My sweet baby, no one deserves a man like Conseil. But then again it could just be Conseil has some tough loyalty. But he did jump into cold water to save his āmasterā heād probably take a bullet for Aronnax. Like I said, he could be loyal BUT, he seems quietly and hopelessly in love.
ok ok, now letās talk about Ned Land, because the first few lines we hear about Land was, something.
āTo say Canadian is to say French, and as unsociable as Ned Land was, I must admit he took a definite liking to me. No doubt it was my nationality that attracted him.ā
āTook a certain liking to meā ok Ned, I see you, I see you š
The first words I pronounced were words of appreciation and gratitude to my two companions. Ned and Conseil had kept me alive during the final hours of our long death throes. But no expression of thanks could repay them fully for such devotion."Good lord, Professor," Ned Land answered me, "don't mention it! What did we do that's so praiseworthy? Not a thing. It was a question of simple arithmetic. Your life is worth more than ours. So we had to save it."
Goodness Ned! I-if someone said that to me?! Yeah weād be married and that would be it!
Now the moment you have been waiting for, Captain Nemo! Buckle in! This will take a while!
first thing is that Nemo immediately seems to admire Aronnax because Aronnax wrote his favorite book, and then he separates him from Ned and Conseil by making Ned and Conseil leave to get some food, but for aronnax he lets him eat breakfast with him. Like, whaaa??
oh and he gives Aronnax the nice room, connect to his room. Hmm..ok, ok.
Then they have another breakfast date before they head to the under water forest. Let me read them lines.
āāProfessor Aronnax,ā the captain told me, āI beg you to share my breakfast without formality. We can chat while we eat.āā
Already Nemo is like, yeah..screw having a professional relationship! He wants to..get up and personal..wink wink
here is another thing: this happened after the Nautilus crashed in chapter āTorres strait.ā
āāNo, professor Aronnax. The Nautilus isnāt consigned to the perdition. It will still carry you through the midst of the oceans wonders. Our voyage
is just beginning, and Iāve no desire to deprive myself so soon of the pleasure of your companyāā
You are not clever at ALL Nemo. Like. Say you want this man in your bed. Please!
ok! The whole ass Atlantis scene. That was, insane! It also happened after the two got into an argument. Basically Aronnax learned how much money Nemo has and thought the money to be useless, but Nemo mad about it. Then the next chapter took Aronnax to fucking Atlantis. Alone mind you.
āI saw neither my companions nor any of the crewman would be coming with us on this excursion. Captain Nemo didnāt hadnāt even suggested the fetching of my Ned or Conseil.ā
hmmā¦.just them two. Okayā¦okay.
Fast forward a bit. Aronnax is seeing cool shit.
āāwhat an experience!ā I exclaimedā¦.. āand why must we be reduced to preserving it as only a memory?āā āWould you like,ā Captain Nemo asked me, āto bring more than just a memory?āā
and then Nemo has his crew take a picture just for Aronnax. Oh Nemo. You are. Truly amazing to this man when youāre not being an asshole.
ok ok! This one! This was when! Basically they get trapped in ice, let me show you.
āāI think as you do, professor Aronnax,ā Captain Nemo replied. āIāll only point out that after raising so many objections against my plan, youāre now crushing me under arguments in its favor., Captain nemo was right! I was outdoing him daring! I was sweeping him to the pole! I was leading the way! I was in the frontā¦but oh no, you silly fool! Captain Nemo already knew the pros and cons of this question , and it amused him to see you flying off into impossible fantasiesā
if thatās not flirting. Than what is?!!!
ok thatās it. Everyone was in love with Aronnax, yep. Comment š¤š³ļøāš if you got this far and share your thoughts below!
