#miraculous ladybug#mentor au#A Matter of Trust#felix sphinx#bridgette cheng#richard sphinx#josie's art#over here doing my best to get fresh pages out no matter what :'V#bri absolutely had a kickass fight scene before getting overpowered but felix was too busy doing ridiculous sky parkour to see it :/#one day i'll do the same story from her POV because there's so much we miss from felix's perspective! she has hobbies and adventures too!!!#she spends all night fighting supervillains and dealing with chat noir then rollerskates late to school with toast in her mouth!#and tikki sleeps in a barbie palace like a queen while felix keeps plagg in a tupperware box :/

Page 42 of my Miraculous Mentor AU comic A Matter of Trust! In which Felix might have lost his magic, but everything he learned from balancing Misfortune could just pay off... ☯️✨
Also, I'm aware there's a slight layering issue with the text in the first panel - unfortunately my tablet broke this week so short of delaying the page there's nothing I can do right now! I hope it's not too distracting and I'll replace the image when I have it sorted! 💕

#miraculous ladybug#mentor au#felix sphinx#richard sphinx#A Matter of Trust#josie's art#i'm so mad; i even saved a fixed copy of this page but didn't transfer it before my tablet died >:'0#and to be fair it held on for a LONG time; it's been half-dead for a while but affording a new one has been a problem#plus of COURSE they don't manufacture that kind any more; so i'll have to switch to a new brand and relearn everything ; n ;#fortunately all the comic lineart is backed up so that shouldn't be a problem but AAAAA (old man yells at cloud)#ANYWAY isn't it cool felix learned extreme parkour just by working against the Bad Luck energy he was cursed with? :V#without the ring he's an agility demon and i like to think that still applies in the current day#he's no longer protected from throwing his back out; but that's the price he pays for living to see 30 AND adopting an adhd catboy :/

#miraculous ladybug#mentor au#A Matter of Trust#felix sphinx#bridgette cheng#richard sphinx#josie's art#i lay claim to ''felix can reject being akumatized'' because I PUBLISHED THAT CONCEPT BACK IN 2019. CANON TOOK IT FROM /ME/#any other character is coincidence (chloe for example) but felix specifically? who wasn't even in the show until 2 years later?? YEAH SURE#i'm half joking but truly... i have no reservations putting it in the mentor au lmao

#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 :'(
