In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.

So it's been some time since we had an update, but I thought it would be nice to take a moment to thank @allgirlsareprincesses for A Song of Ash & Sky. Looking back at my moodboards, I'm forever grateful to your words that inspired them.

Merry Xmas & Happy Holidays, everyone! ❤❤❤

Update: I found some relevant extracts from HERO Magazine where Louis opens up about this topic a bit more in conversation with his co-stars from past projects. You can read about it HERE! c:

Wild how I spent years of my life not hearing Louis Hofmann utter a word of English until now. It’s been two weeks & I’m still *SH00K*, TBH. In my defense, I was knee-deep into my studies @ uni in 2017, so I didn’t have much mental bandwidth to spare for Dark, even though I liked what I saw of the show. So, I set it aside & sort of forgot about it. Fast forward six years later, the ATLWCS trailer pops up on my feed & I recognize the actor who played Jonas in the YT thumbnail, piquing my curiosity. Now imagine that I’ve only ever heard Louis Hofmann speak German, as it didn’t occur to me to look up cast interviews/promo materials when they were right THERE. Silly me, huh? Nothing could have prepared me for the on-point RP in the press. It’s not so much that I’m surprised he speaks well, but what gets me is HOW well. He could easily blend in with the British crowd unless you’re listening closely.

P.S. His current accent & level of proficiency took years of dedication, which I can confirm after going through his interviews over the years. He always had solid foundation, but he improved so much within that time frame.

Louis Hofmann - HERO Magazine Extracts (On Accents & Acting Abroad)

In Conversation w/ Thomasin Mckenzie (12/1/2023)

TM: I did, and this is something I wanted to bring up with you. Something that people will find very interesting about you is your accent. 

LH: Yeah, I remember you asking me once, “Why don’t you just use your own [German] accent? [when speaking in English]” But there’s no such thing to me as my own German accent, this is my own accent. This is the accent I feel most comfortable in. I speak in an English accent because I’ve been training that accent for more than four years now to eventually be able to portray English characters and not only English-speaking German characters.

TM: Was it difficult as a German actor to transition into a more international realm? 

LH: It’s been a long journey, I suppose. The first English language thing I did was at the age of nineteen, and now I’m 26. I started working on the accent around the age of 21, 22, and only now feel extremely comfortable in the accent and language. I remember 2017 was a crazy year for me at the age of 19. It was my first time doing English work, and I went to the Oscars ceremony that year. I remember doing my second English job and thinking, “Oh, this is how it’s going to be now. I’m just going to focus on English work.” Then the next year came around, and I had [prior engagements I worked on] that meant I couldn’t continue following that path I was so excited about, so that took me back a little bit. But then I took away the pressure because I put myself under a lot of pressure that year. I had to take a step back. I left out the stress and constantly worked on the language, the accent, spending time in London, and then eventually moving here. It’s been a long journey but a very fulfilling one. Also, I can nerd out about accent work so much. I read in an interview that you really love it as well. I’m not nearly as good as you, what you do is outstanding.

TM: You speak two languages or probably more. I just speak English. 

LH: But the accent work you do is amazing. When I knew I was going to work with you I was so intimidated, like, [puts on a nervous voice] “I’m going to work with Thomasin McKenzie, she’s such a great actor!”

In Conversation w/ Lisa Vicari (4/27/23)

LH: It’s a bit weird we’re going to do this in English because obviously, we’re both German. I remember once we met in London and I refused to speak German, I think that was the only time we actually spoke English to each other. I was so strict about it because it was the first time I went to London to work on my language.

LV: Do you still do that now or do you speak German when you’re in London?

LH: I stopped because it just took away part of my personality. You’ve been doing English work and, to me, it is quite different from acting in the German language. I was wondering how that is for you, do you feel speaking in another language or accent helps you because it instantly creates a character?

LV: I was really pleasantly surprised by how natural it felt to act in English because I did go into it thinking, “Let’s see how this plays out.” Working with an accent was something totally new because it’s not very common in Germany. For this part, I had accent training for American English and it was the first time I approached a character like this. I really enjoyed the process because it instantly gives you a certain something to build your character from, I also enjoyed how on-set we’d sometimes jokingly do other random accents, like a really bad Irish one in between takes. [both laugh]

LH: It’s something you can hold onto instantly. I’m in London at the moment and I’ve been doing some acting classes because I’ve never really done any before and I was really interested in learning something properly. [both laugh] We’ve been doing some animal work lately, I’d heard of it but never tried it. I thought it was really interesting because when I did it I felt like I had something to hold onto while doing the scene.
