#nemonnax

[nautilusgays]

When I say I want to meet my future spouse the "old fashioned way" what I mean is: I wish to be in a shipwreck caused by the creature (presumably some unnaturally large narwal) I have been searching for, only to discover that it is in fact the most incredible submarine(!!) and then get saved from the icy waters by it enigmatic captain with whom I fall desperately in love despite knowing it can never be for I am their captive in all but name.

Conseil: Describe your ideal man.

Aronnax: He’s dark and mysterious…

Aronnax: And he can sing, and he plays the organ.

Conseil: I think you just described the Phantom of the Opera Captain Nemo.

Aronnax: *dreamy look* Mm..

some people: ask their partner out on a picnic date in a secluded spot, enjoy watching the sunset together

Captain Nemo: ha, that's nothing. I manipulate my boyfriend into arguing for a dangerous, likely one-way trip under an iceberg to then watch the noontime sun together as a way to see if we've discovered the South Pole.

"Captain Nemo and I"

(or, I'm about to be very emotional and nonsensical about nemonnax)

So I didn't expect to cry this hard. Reading these last two entries, it strikes me so much how not once Aronmax shows excitement to return to land. Not once does he look forward to anything except his friends' safety. He's a marine biologist at heart, who never mentions any relations outside of these two; before the Nautilus his life was the joy he found in the sea and the freedom and happiness he expresses in so many entries contrasts so heavily with his silence on his normal life.

There's this outsider-ness so implicit in Aronnax, this unsaid thing (we talk queer allegory, we talk neurodivergency) that makes him so perfectly fit for the Nautilus and for Nemo's way of life. He talks about his pride for civilization, but his connection to it is as aspirational as Nemo's is bitter. He calls this life, this liminal space with no societal expectations and only homosocial bonds and unjudged room to explore his passion "his element"

Be it what it was, I think Aronnax connected very intimately with Nemo's outsiderness. He saw him as above human, as a force of nature, a savior, a mercenary, but above all, I think Aronnax saw him as a promise. Of understanding, of friendship, of bravery and exploration. And in the beginning Nemo seemed to deliver. He showed him the wonders of the sea, all his secret treasures. But what Aronnax really always wanted, and projected, was a soul akin to his own. A person who understood him in this unspeakable level.

Nemo never gave him that. He could never open up about his past or his trauma or his name. He chose to self-isolate, to give up on what could have been a genuine connection with Aronnax. He fell into despair and Aronnax had to finally accept that his offer of companionship was not gonna be enough to pull him out.

And until the very very end Aronnax was able to let go of him. It's so telling to me, just how many times in this second to last entry he debates whether to talk to him or not, to savotage his escape on the slim chance of Nemo opening up to him once and for all. He knows this man is different in a way he can't describe, in a way he's never going to find again, and because this IS a Gothic Romance, dammit, "whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same". He's still holding on to that promise.

And being honest? I don't think he ever really lets it go. This last chapter is all about his thoughts and hopes for Nemo. He was like him. And he knew him. And he vanished. Everything else bears no use writing about.

The end of this novel is so bittersweet and beautiful. Because Aronnax take refuge on what he did share with Nemo, instead of letting him go. They both knew the sea, the thing he loves the most, the thing that makes them both so different from everyone, like no one else. No one can take that away from him. Wherever Nemo is, I don't think Aronnax will ever be able to look at the ocean without thinking of him.

I hope it brings him comfort.

I stared at the last rays wreathing this peak, while shadows were gradually climbing its gradients.

Just then, resting his hand on my shoulder, Captain Nemo said to me:

...I misread that as "resting his head on my shoulder" for a hot sec. Was just nodding along, South Pole date's heating up I see, etc.

And then I said. Wait.

#voyage of the nautilus #nemonnax #the following dialogue didn't even help bc nemo resting his head on pierre's shoulder then infodumping would be a surefire seduction tactic #lmao

[call-to-the-wyatt]

I just thought about... like...

A fanfiction....

Where Pierre gets injured and dies in Nemo’s arms....

After they finally found love and happiness with one another.....

And Nemo is about to surprise Pierre with a proposal.......

I’m gonna let this live in your head for a while.
