Isobel, 23, chemistry PhD student, Jewish, they/them. Mostly a miscellaneous blog with stuff about radio with sufficient presence on here (e.g. Hitchhiker's, John Finnemore's work, The Magnus Archives, Bleak Expectations, Wooden Overcoats, Welcome to Night Vale), One Piece, Jim Henson's works, Phineas and Ferb, birds, and Weird Al, but I occasionally link to radio programmes I've enjoyed. I have a slightly stagnant side blog:
https://hello-folks-calling-folks.tumblr.com/ for non-commercially available radio programmes of dubious audio quality off my cassettes. Header ID: the top half of the "corporate needs you to find the difference between these pictures meme", showing two photos held out side by side. The left photo shows me on my eigth birthday, a white child with brown hair down to my jawline, grinning at the camera with my arms folded with a large cookie with candles in on the table. The right photo is the adult Ronnie from Inside Number 9's Wise Owl, with a similar haircut holding a birthday cake with candles. Icon ID: a black and white line drawing of a boy grinning with individually defined teeth and looking at the viewer, the left side of his face in slight shadow. He has light skin and light hair sticking out to the sides, and his visible ear is large with a spiral inside. Just visible is his left hand making a thumbs-up and his checkered pattern jumper.
Obviously this is an adorable bit but I'm so struck by how different this is from so many little kid shows today like.......the muted colors. no background noise. no sound effects. you can literally hear Jim Henson breathing between his lines. Ernie is talking very slowly, meandering, letting the kids digest the info. it's a full minute before you get the payoff of it all. man
It's been only half a year and my custom Tintin doll has been through so much! @tenderlyhands and I have been taking him travelling, and last week they've taken him to Athens!
He's acquired some friends - Haddock is a Made to Move Ken and Chang is a slim Ken Fashionista with joints stolen from a bootleg doll. Haddock and Chang are also traveling - Haddock is currently in Japan and Chang is currently in Romania.
He's even gotten plenty of new outfits. So far I've made his Scottish outfit from The Black Island and his yellow shirt he wears in the earlier comics. A friend from work wants to take him diving - perhaps his diving suit would be a good thing to make next...
If you want to follow along on his adventures check out my Instagram @professorcalculusstanacc - I post more doll content there while keeping my blog more for comics and longer form stuff!
"have you learned how to drive yet" i have the spirit of friendship in my heart. the joy of lifes little things in my soul. the whimsy of magic. the beautiful enjoyment of nature. the answer is no though
