"None Other Has Ever Known..."
Here is my grand, ambitious project:
Mysterious Island pictures. :) Yes. Because I am a geek like whoa. But I don't want to lose them ever, and I'd rather pretend I have a safe place to put them; at least for a while. So here they are, ladies and germs: select illustrations from Jules Verne's L'Ile Mysterieuse. (Dial-up connections, beware.)
Part I: Castaways From the Sky
Pencroff and Cyrus, at the beginning. They will never look like this again, anywhere in the book.
Gideon. /He/ will never wear this hat again. Also, he is angsting. *pets him*
Pencroff, trying to light a fire. You know it's him because you can see his hat.
Harbert, Gideon, and Cyrus. Observe that Harbert is a midget. Also, am rather concerned over what Pencroff and Neb are doing in the background.
Pencroff and Neb, 'preparing' the thingummy. Pencroff does not look like himself, but his hat is on the wall.
This picture is in here to display the Neb-ness of Neb. The kerchief, the earrings, the noodle-like pose--this is Neb.
Part II: The Outcast
This is the most adorable picture of Pencroff ever, even if Cyrus is completely and scarily out of proportion.
Pencroff, running out in the storm to protect his beloved wheatfield. *loves on picture forever*
Joop and Top. This is my OTP. Except, you know, not.
Ayrton. This picture still makes me giggle madly. The bulging muscles are completely unnecessary, truly.
The first Ben Gun picture. In actuality, Cyrus Giving Ayrton His Hand. Am still trying to figure out what in hell Pencroff thinks he's doing.
Joop is the world's most adorable quadrumane. Also, Harbert is short.
Harbert the Pale Lady. Still a midget; but rather endearing picture.
Part III: The Secret of the Island
^________^ The picture off of which 'Casu et Certum' is based. Note Bob Harvey's head floating to one side.
Best picture of Ayrton in the book (he being to the far left), as well as one of the best pictures of Neb (to the far right). Cyrus still short. Harbert completely out of proportion.
The picture that forever sealed Harbert's doom. A pale lady indeed, but an undeniably squee-worthy one.
Cyrus Smith, looking oddly like Gideon Spilett. Once again, must call into question what in hell is going on in the background.
The second Ben Gun picture. However, Pencroff/Ayrton OTP!!1!!!!1eleven!
Captain Nemo. I love this picture far too much, and am aware of it. However, the luxurious divan forever commands my abject devotion.
Am sure this picture makes Nemo fume. Harbert, Cyrus, and Gideon look respectfully at him. Ayrton, Pencroff, and Neb look with eerily zombie-ish facial expressions at the jewel box. The curse of money, &c &c.
There. Isn't it all too, too squee? ^_____________^
Want very much to write a Harbert fic from when he is All Growed Up and looking back on things. Want to write about him and Ayrton, and his father before Pencroff, and possibly Nemo too, because the bit where he kissed Nemo's hand was one of the loveliest scenes in the entire book (not slashily, either! Nemo/Aronnax forever! *waves flag*).
