Finally, Adèle Blanc-sec series is END!

There were many disappointing parts while watching the Cartoon, but the series' unique crazy story development and the pleasant atmosphere reminiscent of fantasy literature remained.

(And I'm glad the story ended with Lucien Brindavoine alive, who was supposed to die in 1933. XD)

A little rec for sister-shippers who enjoy a wild romp of an adventure/fantasy flick every now and then: The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec by Luc Besson.

The titular character sets the plot in motion by deciding she'll do EVERYTHING in her power to wake her twin, Agathe, from a seemingly irreversible coma. Even if "everything" includes bringing a Pharaoh's royal doctor's mummy back to life to see if his ancient knowledge will be enough to cure her.

Thanks for the recommendation, Anon!

do you have a favorite instance of an art style fitting the tone of the story very well? or alternatively one that clashes extremely?

I've dug around my brain trying to find something to answer this with and I can't find the right picks. My thoughts on this are that a style that doesn't match the tone is by itself a choice and one to take in mind - no matter how intentional it is - when looking at a narrative work of art. How do you make the difference between what you think, what the artist(s) think and the objective truth? Can you even be objective about art?

This being said, while it's not my favorite (don't have one), for an art style that fits the story it's attached to I have to recommend Tardi's "The Arctic Marauder", which uses a mix of the author's own usual style for characters, and one taken straight from belle époque engravings for the backgrounds, objects and paneling. This matches the time period the story is set in and adds to the atmosphere this author really likes of parodying adventure novels of the time. His characters and their thick lines clash with the detailed, "cleaner" yet dated look of the rest of the pages.

Tardi's art style, especially if you are used to american or japanese comics, makes his characters look...ugly? He insists on traits that aren't seen as desirable - assymetry, shaggy hair, scars, badly applied makeup, you name it - this for all of his cast. While his proportions remain on the realistic end, his characters look like caricatures. They don't act fully "normal" either, they'll speak and emote in very literary ways in between instances of more natural dialog. This comic as well as his most famous series "Adèle Blanc-Sec" use this to parody the books they take inspiration on, they recognize both the horrible truths of the time period and how they bled into its pop culture, and the nostalgic fun they represent.

It's visually super interesting and carries what he's parodying well. To make a good parody one must understand if not appreciate the source material, and emulating it's art style a century later by hand sure is a way to flex that

7 Comfort Movies

tagged by @foibles-fables, thank you buddy!!! <3

oh dear oh boy.. this is gonna be a real weird mix, y'all. here goes..

(in mostly alphabetical order bc that's how they're organised in my comfort films shelf, which also includes the Resident Evil series as well as all things related to Alien and Cube, and also American Mary fuck yeah ..bc I'm a weirdo)

Adult Life Skills. makes me cry. every time. without exceptions. but in like a good way. gotta have a little smidge of Jodie Whittaker on this list, too.

Annihilation. duh. obviously. so good. definitely a good distraction from anything else going on in my life. plus so much stuff to think about. (one day I will read the book this is based on. I stg)

Beyond the Ashes / Ash Tuesday. just so wonderful. I know the topic it deals with is pretty heavy, but it's about healing and coming together. and the power of poetry in crisis and the power of music and giant goth/punk boots. do recommend a watch. originally I used to only watch this via dailymotion bc I was in a Pauley Perrette phase, but it grew on me, with me, whatever you wanna call it, so I eventually caved and had to have an imported disc version for safety purposes, to keep close to my heart.

Dredd. what can I say, I just love some messed up future stuff. and Lena Headey. and it's just well made. love it. so good. 11/10. will watch again and again and again. (as with the rest of this list)

Edge of Tomorrow. again, with the messed up future stuff. add some time travel and Emily Blunt as an action badass, and of course I was sold. plus it helps that Tom Cruise keeps getting smushed like a bug. always a plus.

Sunshine Cleaning. hoo boy, I have cried. and cried. and cried. (sometimes I still cry over the lack of fanfic for Norah and Lynn. they are wonderful and I wish there was more of them. plus Norah is def a character I can hella relate to.) something about complicated, messy familial relationships will always get me. even if they are sisters and I only have a brother, it still hits hard. and the scene with the car radio, and the other scene with the sprinkler just fucking wreck me. (if you know you know) also The Decemberists' The Crane Wife 3 in the trailer, good lord. fuck me up

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec. (the funny thing is that I have the DVD but I have never once watched it, bc it's in German and the only alternative on the disc is to watch the original French with German subtitles, and I'm just too used to watching the French with English subtitles version that I downloaded at some point.) anyway, Pterosaur set free in Paris, a goofy detective and a sillier big game hunter, a sister trying to bring her sister back to life, a talking mummy. just sheer wonderfulness, but will also probably make you cry if you are at all affected by, once again, complicated sibling relationships.

I shall tag @nerdsbianhokie @tjerra14 @aimofdestiny @melsunicornonesie @verbose-vespertine @shadowkira @damnwormholes

(as always: feel free to ignore this if you don't feel like it)
