Hey, do you know how meanings change in time?

Sometimes things that used to be obscene are now quite normal: "penis" used to mean "tail" in ancient Latin, but it started getting used as an obscenity. Today, because it's Latin, it's just the non-exciting name for the thing.

At other times, things that used to be normal are now read differently? Like the Flintstones having "a gay old time".

So. I've been reading Jules Verne lately.

I don't recommend him, because he's: a) a writer of geography masquerading as an adventure novelist; b) repeating all the racist beliefs of the day with absolutely zero awareness that people far away are still people; c) the quintessential "this is how old writers wrote women" author. (Most authors tend to see them as people, but not Jules Verne!) d) he doesn't do characters.

HOWEVER. In "In Search of the Castaways", I came across something that probably read as an amusing anecdote to contemporaries, but today it looks like heavy-handed gay symbolism.

The story of the book is this: a message in a bottle is found. Captain Grant has been shipwrecked somewhere on the 37th parallel in the Southern Hemisphere, and a group of Scotsmen led by a noble and brave Scottish laird go search for him. They're joined by the distracted Jacques Paganel, a brilliant French geographer who boarded the wrong ship.

Together they cross Patagonia and Australia, and when they reach New Zealand, they get captured by a Māori tribe. Paganel manages to escape, only to be captured by a different tribe than everyone else. When he gets reunited with everyone else, he's very reluctant to explain what happened. He's fine; he's talkative and his usual self when the topic is anything else, but he's absolutely not willing to talk about his time in captivity in any detail.

Finally, his friends learn this:

the chief of that tribe took an instant liking to him

he was greeted by the chief rubbing his nose against him

the chief bound him to himself with ropes

and those ropes were *especially binding* at night

but finally, Paganel escaped

I mean... I'm not the only one snickering, right? This looks like a walk of shame.

Anyway, the crew returns to Scotland. They're all heroes, including Paganel, who's courted by many women. He likes one, but he's very, very reluctant to marry her. He feels that he's "unworthy" of her. He simply can't marry her! Because of a great secret!

A friend finally pries the secret out of him: Paganel got a tattoo in New Zealand. It's of a giant kiwi with wings outstretched, digging its beak into his heart.

Friends. FRIENDS. I'm quite sure a "kiwi" wasn't another name for a New Zealander back in the day, but omg. If I did this in a book, people would accuse it of being so transparent it might as well not be symbolic at all.

I highly doubt this is what Jules Verne meant with that scene (he was probably just throwing in a bit of humor), but omg. It reads very differenly in the 21st century. I found it a bit funnier than the author intended, I'm sure.

I started a collection:)

The illustrations show Otto Lidenbrock, Jacques Paganel, Horace Paterson and Cousin Benedict. These are characters from different books by Jules Verne, but very similar in appearance and personality.

last song:

i am never beating the wildhorn fucker allegations, but what can i do. it's a banger your honour

favourite colour:

i love deep reds and yellows and oranges.... sunset colours

currently watching:

nothing..... which is a weird state to be in, usually there's some tv series or another i'm watching at da club, but not now huh. i've been toying with the idea of watching all machulski movies, but haven't started on that yet, so idk idk

last film:

passage through the light my beloved <3 <3 <3 < 3 "but jez it's a play" well alright. chevalier then. it was nice but reaaaally uneven and the second half was very predictable and kind of boring in all honesty :// it felt very modern, and that's not a compliment. good for watching in the plane tho [insert thumbs up emoji here]

currently reading:

Still captain grant's children. yes it's been months. yes i'm absolutely crawling through this kiddie book. there's only so much geography lectures you can get through at once i guess. but it's good it's nice i love paganel i would love to bully him myself one day :D

sweet, spicy, sour or savory?

sour sour i love sour things so much!! sweets are good too of course but! sour!

relationship status:

last time someone flirted with me it made me feel so bad i genuinely vomited so [insert even more thumbs up emojis here]

current obsession:

nothing new, just a string of past obsessions that i'm reanimating and playing with like dolls. mozart and salieri. pierre. zorro (well that's not past, but it does fluctuate in strength. i was really into it right before japan, now it's back to being kinds eh just in the back of my mind). nothing exciting, nothing that truly deserves being called an obsession

last thing i googled:

"кутас". i wanted to see if it also evolved into dick in other languages (it didn't, it would seem)

currently working on:

well. not really working as much as procrastinating (thus this post) but i gotta pack and clean my flat :) i have a train tomorrow morning and wen i return my brother will be with me and then a day later my aunt will be here as well so you know. gotta make the flat presentable :)

In Search for Captain Grant

SOVIET SUMMER CAMP JUNE-AUGUST SESSION 2022

Soviet Series Club(tm) is entering summer mode and is already traditionally bringing up a Summer Classique. A captain is lost somewhere in this world: we have a ship, an enthusiastic crew, and this entire world to search. We will explore continents, learn some practical geography, stand against all sorts of baddies and misadventures, acquire friendships and most importantly, a nice summer mood. Additionally, we will follow Jules Verne himself and his surprisingly pleasant little storyline filled with wise words, dumb creator issues and the only 3,5 people of the series crew who were allowed to film abroad.

Comes in a bundle too, for after we’re done with the series, we will watch The Children of Captain Grant 1936 and if you know why I’m so adamant about that, You Know.

A bearer of the uneven amount of episodes curse, the show forces us to awkwardly work around that number 7, so it starts Friday 3rd June with watching episode one only, and then it’s two per sitting after that, all at the usual 10pm Moscow time. Remember! *taps cardboard*

IT HAS BEEN

0 DAYS

SINCE WE BULLIED PAGANEL

#Soviet Series Club™ #pog anel the ultimate blorbo #im going as mcnabbs what'd you think so whoever grabs poggies is in love with me now #but yea if you havent seen this show honestly it's just so Summer Nice #just :) vibes #both grants too

Major McNabbs’s obsession with Paganel

#paganel #in search of castaways #jules verne #the children of captain grant #major mcnabbs

[incorrect-jules-verne]

Prof. Paganel: Sometimes it’s so easy to get focused on your own stuff, that you forget other people have problems too.

Mary Grant: That’s really deep.

Prof. Paganel: Thanks. I feel like ever since I lost my phone, my other senses have kind of heightened.

В общем, эстетика на моего самого любимого француза: Жака Паганеля. Мало кто с ним знаком, потому вот ключевые черты: география (и все, ��то с ней связано), круглые очки, теплые тона, а дальше уже как хотите. Спасибо еще раз

What characters do you currently like? Do you have any original characters?

ohh boyy what a can of mental illness worms you're opening with that question.

i like paganel a completely normal amount (unironically. i am genuinely normal about this). for the past month i've been rewatching the in search of captain grant series, and i'm currently starting to read the book. he's just so he he silley funney, and what an adhd icon! and of course his relationship with mcnabbs is. neat.

and diego de la vega I Guess? i've been consuming zorro media for almost a year now, and we're going through a rough time currently bc of shit he has been pulling in a specific adaptation, but that's fine. it's fine. other diegos are still my friends.

and then there's um. the. the. charles ix king of france as pictured by alexandre dumas in his book "la reine margot". my scrungly brungly son who has every disease. he's been occupying my brain for months at this point, he's so pathetic and miserable and his family is so so toxic, i genuinely feel sick and unwell thinking about him. and the rest of the last valois too, and catherine, and henri of navarre. there's a lot to overthink in that book (and in the other two too, i guess) and you can be sure i Have been overthinking it!

as for oc, i don't really have any, it was never my thing. there was kurzo, my d&d character, a halfling sailor cleric, who liked drinking and was afraid of water :') but ah. i'm not playing dnd anymore. and there was nicolò, a biotechnology student from palermo (as in studying in there. i never decided from where he was actually from, it was not important) who skipped classes to go paragliding. but as you can guess, that was less of an oc and more of a coping mechanism. i guess i just prefer to put characters i already know in situations, instead of inventing a whole new guy :>

#these are characters that are actively living in there #there are of course also characters that are living there passively #ready to awake at a moment notice

Alexander Nevsky

Soviet Movie Club(tm) pays the allegedly last tribute to Stalin’s favourite waifu and not only his, while also being somewhat informative. Alexander Nevsky, the old epic.

Starring the Nikolay Cherkasov, and directed by the Sergey Eisenstein, this film from 1938 is right in-between his classics such as Battleship Potemkin and Ivan the Terrible. Except it’s not that good :)

Alexander Nevsky is the story of the great knyaz (of the same name obviously) who led the infamous Battle on the Ice in 1242, the details of which are well-known to any Russian school student but are probably wholly mysterious for everybody else. So let’s keep it that way for plot surprises, shall we. A classic of Soviet cinema and a cool epic for the time, Alexander Nevsky is infamous not only for that. Bad sound as Eisenstein was afraid to re-record it after it was approved by Stalin, Eisenstein’s classic hilarious style of dialogues, dumbass pathos and subtext that gave the film a second life in 1941, nice characters and the infamous battle itself - all that awaits us altogether with its main attraction, Cherkasov

the bigged bitch  

If you want to check out the Classic, join us on tutturu this Saturday, 30th of January at 8pm UK time.

#Soviet Movie Club™ #yes i am that kind of low opinion about this film #no idea if the new cherkasov thirsting will save it this time but at least it's good enough to meme about #also i think eisenstein managed to conceal cherkasov's height in all these films #it's only last summer when i watched his other films i was shocked by the sudden bigged #the touching unity when we saw the heights of his height and immediately jumped on bullying him #OH YEA BITCH WHY ARE YOU SO BIGGED HUH??? #maybe it's because it was paganel that time and we know he's historically not the most respected character #soviet film fuckers will tear me to shreds reading this bo hooo bitches just watch ivan the terrible instead #eisenstein redeemed himself in the best way possible but for now we've got the memes
