I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

#tintin #adventures of tintin #comic #captain haddock #archibald haddock #snowy #milou #fanart #the crab with the golden claws #i remember tintin crafting a trumpet to communicate with an elephant #and he remarks he must get the accent correct #very odd scenario but it shows he would be a stickler for that sort of thing #i also have to say accents do not indicate how smart someone is #a lot of pundits use an english accent to sound more credible #but i have to say there are a lot of fucking idiots here #me included #thank you 2011 film for validating my scottish haddock headcanon #any french speakers who have read to this point i wonder what your hcs are for his french speaking accent

CRIMINAL VS DETECTIVE

a detective who is obsessing over solving a case involving a ‘criminal’ who steals precious monuments but does bring these items back under a ‘one’ condition…

which is forcing officers of the law in san myshuno to reveal their deepest injustice secrets, that are long hidden from the public eyes..

#MWAHAHAHA IM INSANE. #g-guys english is not my native language so ignore any odd word placing hskshhs #yes. they needed their official post with their original identity hehe #these shots are kinda an AU were draco finally realize the identity behind that culprit… #the pictures are kinda a intro/promoting thingy?? for the Criminal vs Detective #I would say those scenes are not official… yet. these are like faaar in the future :3 #floyd cyprus #draco almond #ts4 #simblr #sims 4 #criminal vs detective???? this time I couldn’t get creative with their official name aaa #also this song lyrics.. especially the bridge part gosh. its them. #“do you see what we've done? were gonna make such fools of ourselves” #“how did we get here? when I used to know you so well..” #Spotify #CvsD

While the trick-or-treating comic was very cute, I cannot imagine Vasco not being a little treat kinda guy

Are you telling me he doesn't randomly buy himself candy just for the dopamine and the child-like joy? That he doesn't indulge on halloween spirit and buy spooky candy just for him and Machete?? (who barely eats it but halloween spirit comes first, practically second)

.

#I actually thought about that for quite a while before choosing to go with a simple and neutral soda can #because yes I do think Vasco is a little treat kinda guy #but the treats he goes for probably aren't straight up candy #he's into hot chocolate and sweet coffee drinks #ice cream (particularly odd and seasonal flavors) #pastries and desserts probably #I can see him being a nutella enjoyer #and if he buys actual sweets I think he'd go for chocolate bars #(not like mars bars but thin flat sheets of chocolate that you break into smaller pieces) #(do those have a specific name in english or are they both just chocolate bars?) #none of the above are very easy to share unexpectedly with unfamiliar children #like I said in majority of Europe halloween isn't widely/officially celebrated and trick-or-treating isn't customary #families with young children teens and young adults might do halloween activities on smaller scale #but a childless couple in their thirties (and living in an apartment) is unlikely to have halloween candy in reserve methinks #Machete doesn't eat that many sugary things regularly #if Vasco is having something he probably goes along with it #but his health anxiety kind of affects what foods he deems acceptable and which ones should be avoided #which is ironic because modern Machete has a history of stress smoking #as a habit that's quite a bit worse for you than having an occasional ice cream sundae #I think he managed to quit when their relationship turned serious #answered #anonymous #modern au

LIKE THAT WAS INSANE so shoutout kenny for speaking french i can understand i rly appreciate the confidence boost #anyway i hope hope hope to see new members soon yesyes #be it purg2 returners (i have my wishlist but the wishlist does have Everyone soooo i win) or a new language!!! OR MULTIPLE 🙏 WOULD BE NEAT #i have said before that i think it would be fun if they drop two+ languages in at the same time #have the new languages work together to do puzzles and get used to the translations before dropping the full force of like #20-30 odd streamers who are unbelievably loud and extremely excited to meet them #would mayyyybe mitigate some of the french arrival where everyone DESCENDED on them and it was SO LOUD lmfao #anyway i will now sleep it just makes me happy to see everytime i see it #i'm excited to meet (hypothetical) everyone too <3

Godrick could just walk down to Liurnia, he fits through the doorways (+ headcanons)

I've been writing little ficlets and headcanons for myself where I tend to include Godrick just walking down to Liurnia because he indeed fits through every doorway and passageway all the way there, but I don't think I've ever shown the pictures. Here you go!

Imagine him seeing a gorgeous sunset after thousands of years of being inside the castle, only seeing its walls. War, loss, self-mutilation, ridicule, false hope. And yet, something as simple as the colours of a sunset remain constant. After all, Radahn could not hold back the sun.

So here are some sweet little headcanons, why not:

Godrick x Tarnished headcanons - Sunsets ignore war

imagine finally being able to convince him to take the path leading from his throne room to Liurnia

it would take conscious effort to convince him, even after proving your loyalty to him, he'd expect being attacked and would refuse for quite a while

you'd have to remind him that Liurnia remained neutral during the Shattering, and also that you just cleared the area and there is absolutely no one there to disturb him (Thops is just chilling, he doesn't need to know about him)

timidly he'd agree, would insist to go at night though

you'd convince him to go at sunset to see the beautiful colours, being in the castle for several thousand years would make anyone go mad

you are aware of his homesickness, and you thought maybe this occasion would take his mind off of being hyperfocused on returning to Leyndell

he is grumpy on the way there, repeating that it's a bad idea and if something goes wrong, you'll not be excempt from punishment

you know well he is just trying to mask his nervousness so you just quietly lead the way

once there, the sun is already setting, painting the sky with beautiful colours; you are happy it isn't a foggy evening this time

you both stop shortly after exiting the castle, looking towards the ocean where the sun is setting

you stand next to him, he has been awfully quiet ever since he stepped out of the castle

usually he is vocal, be it in a positive or negative way, he'll make sure you know what he thinks; the sudden change indicates that he is processing emotions unusual to him

you don't look at him directly to provide some level of privacy, but from the corner of your eye you can see that he is in complete awe, just quietly admiring the sky

Godrick thinks he is lucky for the enormous height difference now, he is happy that looking at his face would require conscious effort on your part to turn and look up at him

he knows you are more considerate than that... he hopes at least; otherwise you would have seen something glistening in his eyes

surely, the Stormveil winds made his eyes very sensitive, no other reason

Every time I think about it too much, I go utterly insane over Noé's little "I'm glad you're the person you are now" speech.

Like, no matter how you read their relationship, it's undeniable that by that point, Noé cares about Vanitas so much. He's clearly quite upset by Vanitas's "as if anyone could fall for a person like me" line. And because of that, he goes out of his way to try and reassure Vanitas that he's good and worthy of love, and he specifically crafts his reassurance in a way that he thinks Vanitas will be able to accept.

He prefaces his kind words with "I still don't like you," because he knows that Vanitas reacts poorly to outright being liked. He adds on the line about his statement being "arbitrary" in an effort to pretend that his speech wasn't prompted by hearing Vanitas spill his self-hatred. He goes to lengths to make things look as much as possible like Noé's just sharing a thought, not trying to comfort Vani, but his intent comes through crystal clear.

Yet at the same time, the way he ties his speech to his thoughts on having met Astolpho shows that he really is being genuine. He goes out of his way to say all this because he wants to reassure Vanitas, but he doesn't say a word that isn't from the heart. Regardless of whether he “likes” the way he is or not, he’s genuinely grateful to have the Vanitas that he has.

It's so telling that Noé's reaction to hearing Vanitas speak self-hatingly is to go out of his way to contradict that hatred with affection. And that he tries to go about it so delicately. It speaks so much to his depth of feeling and his emotional intelligence. It’s just such a good scene.

#Noé is such an odd character because he is so very often oblivious to both his own and others’ feelings #he is not at all perceptive in the sense that he just Does Not Notice stuff #but when he’s invested in something/someone? #it’s like he suddenly turns on an emotional intelligence searchlight #and becomes *so* attentive and perceptive #and this scene is such a good example of that attention #anyway I wrote most of this post in a fugue state while half asleep the other night #when I reread this scene and was violently seized be the Vanoé Emotions #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #Noé Archiviste #noé archiviste my beloved #vanoé #the vanoé agenda #english major hours

the sos awl development team really looked at rock and said “even if we could fix him (we can’t) he would never agree to it, carry on king”

#and i’m eternally grateful they responded this way #my odd worldview king has every possible brain disease and disorder and he’s perfect just the way he is #cora clownposting content #sos awl #multiple interviews stress that rock was left unchanged because he was always a fucking weirdo and will remain so eternally #i also love that they use the same logic i do. sorry couldn’t redesign him he wouldn’t let us. sorry rock insisted on being drawn this way #what? just change his personality? sorry our hands are tied because he would not fucking say we can rewrite him #explains why his risqué first heart event dialogue was left entirely unchanged in the jp yet maya can’t call him a nanpa anymore #english localization toned it down this time. natume used literal translations and some roughly equivalent english double entendres #sometimes just ignored them #xseed did decide to make him wink when inviting you to be fun-buddies so idk #xseed definitely held a gun to his head for his toned down lines they have Hostage Situation vibes #‘hi there platonic buddy pal!!’ *winks in morse code to spell the words ‘SEX NOW??’* #psychic damage posting #bokumono #hm awl #rock (awl) #this was in my drafts when the heck did i write all this #rock tumbling (sos)

“Lines to ⸻.” also known as “Sonnet to Byron” written by Percy Shelley (1821, fair-copied in 1822) and published posthumously. Shelley had threatened to give up writing due to his lack of success. Byron’s fame and Shelley’s great admiration for his recent works often frustrated Shelley and worsened his depression, despite Byron generally encouraging him. In an early draft below, Shelley began with the line “I am afraid these verses will not please you, but” before seemingly drawing over it with trees.

“If I esteemed you less, Envy would kill

Pleasure, and leave to Wonder and Despair

The ministration of the thoughts that fill

My mind, which, like a worm whose life may share

A portion of the unapproachable,

Marks your creations rise as fast and fair

As perfect worlds at the creator’s will,

And bows itself before the godhead there.

But such is my regard, that, nor your fame

Cast on the present by the coming hour

Nor your well-worn prosperity and power

Move one regret for his unhonoured name

Who dares these words. — the worm beneath the sod

May lift itself in worship to the God.”

The fair-copy was made about six months before Shelley, Edward Williams, and their boatman Charles Vivien all died in a sailing wreck during a storm while returning from visiting Lord Byron and Leigh Hunt. Thomas Medwin said that Byron never saw the poem, and it’s likely, given that it was never shared or published until long after Byron died (about two years after Shelley).

I just learned Rammatra's character (design and lore) is actually just a rip off of two Argentinian fans' overwatch oc named Voltikko. Made months before Ramattra was released. Never contacted or compensated for thier work.

Blizz is using Ramattra to sell overpriced skins and further predatory monetization, and worse yet they are monetizing STOLEN WORK this way.

https://twitter.com/MarioKMentasti/status/1589124322937143296?t=z0E8Y_vn_JNVaBvVJcfZJw&s=19

Seriously what the hell. There is NO WAY that Ramattra wasn't lifted from Voltikko's design, the big extra arms, face + cord hair, and Ramattra's construction skin, and lore bites, are all lifted from Voltikko's design and lore created by two fans. The way I honestly thought it was paid concept art just to realize no, it was stolen from.

#ramattra #omnic #omnics #eff blizz #Overwatch #overwatch 2 #ow #ow2 #Rams extra arms popping always felt odd bc usually characters have animations to explain it. ie dva out of mech or bastion reconfigured. #nuh uh that was added last minute #blizz is scummy to profit off of stolen work like that #they two ops live in argentina and speak english as a second language so they may not have easy access to legally dealing with this theft #such bs #im mad #ram was like the only main thing that got me excited for ow lore #the only way i am touching lore is to check in on zens future lore #im so mad rn fr
