#miraculous ladybug#mentor au#A Matter of Trust#felix sphinx#richard sphinx#josie's art#possibly my favourite page so far; oooh the dramaaaaa#and putting a lot of my own neurodiverse experiences into richard's dialogue :'V#deconstructing and rebuilding the entire universe with an ancient magic artifact may be a step too far but isn't it tempting sometimes???#reason 900 why felix is so protective and tolerant of adrien in the future#if his fate is to be an emotional crash mat for this undersocialised adhd menace hyperfixating on both him and ladybug then so be it :|#or so he tells himself when he confiscates chat noir's baton to stop him sending a rizz-tastic skibidi meme to his partner :|||

I’ve followed you for a long time and your tintin stuff always looked so cool so I’ve been curious is tintin a book or a show if someone wanted to get into it where do you think they should start?
It's Tintin Day again, and an EXCELLENT question from a poor unsuspecting soul who fell right into my trap!!! >:3c
I've compiled a basic Tintin menu with some ways the character differs between depictions - not fully comprehensive but a nice selection of flavours! 🍦
Personally I'd recommend the 2011 Spielberg movie as a starting point; it's the most standalone piece of media and a real love letter to the whole franchise. Plus it's breathtakingly gorgeous, whether you enjoy the plot or not it's worth it for the visuals alone!!!
If you choose to continue - I'd pick either the comic books (the source media!) or the 1991 Ellipse/Nelvana cartoon series, which closely retells many of the same stories but shuffles the timeline around and generally sanitises things for a young audience. My late paternal grandparents rented the VHS tapes from the library whenever we visited - it's so very, very cute and has a real soft place in my heart! 💖
The 60s live-action movies are lovely; but less accessible and probably better with preexisting knowledge of the franchise. The 50s Belvision cartoon... exists. And we don't talk about 1929 Tintin, he isn't real and he can't hurt us.
I hope this is helpful, or at least fun! And it's important to remember that while the comics do contain period-typical racism, xenophobia and other outdated views; part of the joy is watching Hergé's deeply conservative stance change as 50 years of research took him around the world meeting real people and learning about their experiences. He shared his own education through Tintin and that's such an important thing!!! 🌎✨
#tintin#the adventures of tintin#josie's art#josie talks about things#ask#i want to watch the movie again so bad uuUUUUGH#maybe i'll force my friends to stream it on our next hangout >:3#you are not immune to tintin media#and i firmly believe they had to make tintin CGI in 2011 because they couldn't improve on jean-pierre talbot; nailed it first try :V

#miraculous ladybug#mentor au#A Matter of Trust#bridgette cheng#felix sphinx#richard sphinx#josie's art#THE DRAMATIC CLIFFHANGER#hopefully it's clear why bri made this choice; because it sounds like chat noir has been playing a long con with help from the butterfly#which might not be true; but it sure makes sense and she CANNOT risk it when the universe is on the line!#and felix is having a panic attack right now so there's no rational response in his head. fight/flight/freeze and he freezes :'(

#miraculous ladybug#mentor au#felix sphinx#bridgette cheng#A Matter of Trust#josie's art#the most 1999 gift possible :')#and a Croco Duo mention! since anarka and jagged would be JUST on the edge of splitting up#assuming he left either while she was pregnant or just after the twins were born#also assuming luka and juleka were NOT the result of a one night stand like 10 years after a breakup lmao#the ''present day'' in this comic is 2015 so it lines up pretty well; GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME#felix and bri are 15/16 here and 30 when adrien meets them :D

Due to scheduling conflicts we're celebrating Tintin Day early this month! 🥳
Someone said in tags that they could totally see Tintin needing International Rescuing at some point. What better way for the Hood to put iR's integrity on the line than revealing all to a world-famous reporter? Would the Tracys jeopardise their whole operation to save just one life?!
(Un)fortunately Tintin hasn't shown up at work since 1929, so the only sacrifice here will be an old man's dignity. Again. 🪦
#the adventures of tintin#tintin#thunderbirds are go#thunderbirds#scott tracy#the hood#josie's art#obviously the answer is yes they would; and tintin wouldn't out them anyway#he's a good noodle and only hashtag-EXPOSES those who deserve it#but how is the hood to know that? he stole photos of the thunderbirds and scott and virgil nearly killed him#a last resort by refusing to give up the chase but even so. AND the whole ned cook thing#it's so funny to me that ToS scott LOSES IT at the sound of a camera shutter; RIP whoever takes their family photos#it's why john stays in space; scott's kneejerk reaction of socking him in the face when he tries to take a nice polaroid :/#almost as funny as tintin not having shown up to the office for a century but somehow maintaining his job#i'm sure his newspaper just keeps him employed for the clout at this point lmaoooo#anyway i'll stop with the tags but i firmly headcanon the boys calling hood out in WILD ways whenever they cross paths#their dad will NEVER date him; kayo will NEVER return his calls and if he even LOOKS at alan he's a predator!!!!#eventually he'll leave them alone because it's just too humiliating :V

Omg I've been headcanon-ing that felix is like that cause he's autistic for years it's great to see The Felix Agreste Enjoyer agreeing
(Mentor AU) Felix is so deep on the spectrum he classifies as shrimp colours!
He masks with minimal social interaction and an intimidating aura. Only Bri knows what a creature he truly is (and that's why she loves him)! 💖
#miraculous ladybug#mentor au#A Matter of Trust#felix sphinx#josie's art#tzilaopal#Ask#i also headcanon bri as chronically ADHD; but felix is such a doomprepper they balance each other out :V#catching his beautiful fiancée by the ahoge as she tries to leave the apartment in her pajamas#because this is NOT following felix's incredibly specific 35-step morning routine >:|#meanwhile bri leads their social life and felix is very content to just follow her instead of panicking about everything#her zest for life enraptures him :)
