Happy Public Domain Tintin Day, everyone!!! โจ
Only very specific versions of these characters are free-range, just like Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse - but our violently unhinged vodka-drinking Soviet convict isn't the only one to escape copyright jail this year! โ๏ธ๐ฅ

Happy New Year!!! โจ๐๐
Starting out with some Thunderbirds! A dazzling fireworks display as new year rolls across the globe is part of John showing EOS how amazing the world can be, but she's just got to make it murder-y somehow. She's on a learning curve! ๐ฅบ
#thunderbirds#thunderbirds are go#john tracy#eos#josie's art#john has one hand on the spray bottle at all times#she's SUPPOSED to be finding this beautiful and heartwarming but can't take the violence out of the sentient AI :/#which is fine actually because we all know how much john will put himself through; he needs a good murderous bodyguard#a VERY high chance that's why ridley stopped coming over after the ship towing debacle; EOS would have HAD her >:V#i like to think scott had a mildly threatening word with NASA as well and john knows nothing about it#also never mind how high fireworks can go; it's 2060 and i get to pick the unrealistic technology

#miraculous ladybug#mentor au#felix sphinx#richard sphinx#A Matter of Trust#josie's art#i'm aware the timeline is all over the place but in my defence so is the canon show lmao#the idea is that felix and bri's growing friendship has taken about a year#so actually this story starts in 1995 with felix moving to paris; he gets the ring in early 1998 and NOW it's late 1999#blame it on felix being an unreliable narrator because he's nervous around adrien and keeps forgetting details#i refuse to take responsibility for my own errors when i can blame it on a depressed catboy in thigh boots :V

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! ๐

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

Iโve followed you for a long time and your tintin stuff always looked so cool so Iโve 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! ๐ฆ
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! ๐
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 Hergรฉ'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!!! ๐โจ
#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
