All Limbus jokes aside this is really accurate to the book while also keeping its own Limbus-y identity! I'm really looking forward to the Wuthering Heights summary now as it's my literal fave out of the 13 lol.
Next is heath, i tried making queequeg's screentime with ishmael as romantic as i can. And before anyone ask, Queequeg doesn't have much dialogue even in the book.
Honestly the fact that QQ and Ish are a thing in the book homoerotic style while turning doomed yaoi into yuri is a welcome change but still I squeal no matter the gender change
Couple of notes for stuff that didn't make it into the video (which is great as always) for anyone who hasn't read the original: -I understand cutting the interludes for pacing reasons, but I'm sad Cool Whale Facts with Ishmael didn't make it in, in which he reveals he doesn't have a fucking clue what he's talking about (highlights include insisting whales are fish just on the basis of "they live in the ocean damn it" and declaring sperm whales have to be the largest basically just because he thinks they're the coolest looking). There's also one where Melville stops even pretending to advance the plot for the sake of having a chapter just absolutely shitting on the British royal family, which for a while got censored out of later releases alongside some of the more overtly gay stuff with Queequeg. -The encounters with the two other ships deserve a bit of elaboration (there were also two other ships but cutting those is understandable because they basically just exist to make the Peqoud crew look better because their captains are absolute morons). Captain Boomer, played by Gregor here, is funny because despite having gone through the same thing as Ahab he's doing the actually sane thing and trying to get away from this unstoppable demon whale. He and Ahab are both mutually confused by the other's motives. And it's worth noting that when Ahab refuses to participate in the search for the missing crew of The Rachael Stubb of all people vocally protests, so he's not a complete jackass. -In the last convo between Ahab and Starbuck it should be pointed out that Starbuck full on intended to murder Ahab on the spot, as he (correctly) thought that was the only hope of saving the crew by that point. Ahab opening up about his family keeps him from being able to go through with it, reminding him of his own wife and child (and notably makes the whole scene come off as rather manipulative). The last time we properly see him he's on the verge of a complete breakdown at the realization that his backing down is going to result in his and everyone else's death. I always felt bad for the guy and was sad he's basically a non character in Limbus. -For those confused about the last part of Fedallah's prophecy, when Moby Dick destroys the Peqoud in the climax Ahab ends up attached to him via a bit of the rigging and is promptly drowned. Hince, death via hemp. And on that note, how do you not put that final rant in here: "Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale! Thus, I give up the spear!" -On the subject of the whale, one of the bits I find compelling is how Ishmael spends the entire book bewildered at Ahab's supernatural reverence of it (by the end he's so brainrotted he basically accidentally reinvents Gnostisim by claiming the whale is simultaneously God and Satan and represents all the sins of man since Adam and Eve first left the garden of Eden). And then at the end he takes one look at this impossibly large monstrosity that's absolutely covered in the remains of previous ships its sank, and at one point is described as having runes carved into its forehead somehow, and just goes "Oh. Yeah no that's totally the devil." -And finally to go full English teacher it'd be remiss to not point out the outright comical amount of biblical symbolism in this book. For just a few examples, Ishmael runs into a guy named Elijah in Nantucket who true to his name goes on this impromptu doomer rant about how Ahab will be the death of everyone, though neither Ish or Queequeg take much heed of the crazy homeless guy giving prophecies in the street despite the name. Ahab himself is named after a king of Israel said to be its worst, and at one point there's even a gag of Ishmael wondering who the fuck would name their kid that of all possible names to take from the good book. Not that he has much room to judge of course (assuming Ishmael is actually his real name, anyways), because the name Ishmael is derived from someone banished to the desert, and our Ish is similarly left a lonesome, drifting wreck by the end.
Let this comment get more reach, also the "promise of gold" Ahab made to the crew so they would join him in the hunt if I remember correctly it wasn't exactly a price for the whale's head. It was some sort of medallion that he hanged in the mast as a reminder to everyone of the ultimate goal. Also in that very same scene the speech Ahab made got everyone shouting that they would follow her, even Ismael admitting to be moved by it as well, showing how good he was at making his demon to be everyone's.
Extra note in ishmael's canto I don't exactly remember when she started shouting just like Ahab, something like "I CALL TO THE DOGS" and heathcliff of all people answered with an AYEE!, just how the crew answered Ahab's to aid her in the hunt, at least I think it's referencing that
You know this entire time I was thinking moby dick was an albino sperm whale, perhaps abnormally large due to artistic expressions always showing as just a big white whale. When was someone going to tell me it was a fuck off giant whale with runes carved into its forehead that’s probably the devil???
Man i rly wish i could watch this rn but ive seen sprites ive never seen b4, potentially spoilers. Ill watch this later when i catch up to the latest Canto. Amazing work anyways
THANK YOU, I’M SO GLAD I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED!! I was so excited to see Newfoundland mentioned on the map until I realized that it was incorrectly labeled rip
i'm not sure if you're joking or not but here's the chapter just in case it isn't CHAPTER 39. First Night-Watch. Fore-Top. (Stubb solus, and mending a brace.) Ha! ha! ha! ha! hem! clear my throat!-I’ve been thinking over it ever since, and that ha, ha’s the final consequence. Why so? Because a laugh’s the wisest, easiest answer to all that’s queer; and come what will, one comfort’s always left-that unfailing comfort is, it’s all predestinated. I heard not all his talk with Starbuck; but to my poor eye Starbuck then looked something as I the other evening felt. Be sure the old Mogul has fixed him, too. I twigged it, knew it; had had the gift, might readily have prophesied it-for when I clapped my eye upon his skull I saw it. Well, Stubb, wise Stubb-that’s my title-well, Stubb, what of it, Stubb? Here’s a carcase. I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it laughing. Such a waggish leering as lurks in all your horribles! I feel funny. Fa, la! lirra, skirra! What’s my juicy little pear at home doing now? Crying its eyes out?-Giving a party to the last arrived harpooneers, I dare say, gay as a frigate’s pennant, and so am I-fa, la! lirra, skirra! Oh- We’ll drink to-night with hearts as light, To love, as gay and fleeting As bubbles that swim, on the beaker’s brim, And break on the lips while meeting. A brave stave that-who calls? Mr. Starbuck? Aye, aye, sir-(Aside) he’s my superior, he has his too, if I’m not mistaken.-Aye, aye, sir, just through with this job-coming.
@plasmur sorry for misunderstanding, I just pointed out how reading some subtitles to in-game korean voiceover like if he really said that was strangely entertaining Thank you for the source, though, I like how throughoutly you prepare before every video!
Noticing the thumbnail i never understood a thing Even if height is cancelled,from the mugshots you can tell the sinners' heights,for example Ishmael is 1,70m
TAKEN DOWN.... WITH HEARTS ALIVE!!... OUR HEARTS ALIIIIIIIVE!!.... ... Lurking daaark under grooound, descend to the bottom.. Swim below eternallyyyyy, into the deeeep bluuuue seeeea..... ....

Very cool of Melville to invent the "hotel only has one bed" romance trope

Haha limbussy- wait why is there an entire firing squad knocking at my door-
@IM-N0-L0NG3R-TR4PP3D Don't worry I had to resist using that word too
The eventual Dreams of the Red Chamber video being 2-4 hours long in question:
👁️👄🔵
My favorite part of this is that even in the original novel Ishmael was saying that he was Queequeg’s wife ^^
Next is heath, i tried making queequeg's screentime with ishmael as romantic as i can.
And before anyone ask, Queequeg doesn't have much dialogue even in the book.
Queequeg's dialogues in the books are almost all told through the narrator as a resume if I recall correctly.
"i tried making queequeg's screentime with ishmael as romantic as i can"
Why?
Just why?
@skynetroll8981 my brother in christ they were gay for each other and even slept together
@skynetroll8981 That's how it is in the book i swear, we have an entire paragraph talking about queequeg's muscles in details from Ishmael's pov
They were also heavily shipped in canto 5s' story anyway
my favorite doomed same-sex couple fr
Doomed yuri my fav

Also I feel like they maybe did Starbuck like that because it’d be hard to take him seriously in a post-Starbucks world
Also WHEN the FUCK was someone going to mention that the whale is the devil??? All that art of it just makes it a big white whale!
That bastard has to be alive still/This is how I will chart my own path.
this is what i imagine that gas zaza making me feel and see
Poor pib she doest exist sprites for him
Also imagine bloodfiends pirates
That sounds like a form of torture
Imagine being surrounded by something that you deathly fear
