#and its adaptation

[stereden]

Okay but as Belgian that grew up with Tintin and actually interned with the Moulinsart publishing house at one point, I absolutely love this

This is a really insightful and on point analysis, that also applies to the perception of various french accents!

Because Tintin is from Brussels - he's native french speaker, but it's not 'France french', it's 'Belgian french' which are not quite the same things - think British Vs American English, with the French (specifically Parisian area french people) making a lot of fun of Belgians for not speaking 'proper french', the difference in vocabulary and for their Belgian accent. It's never quite specified if he's from a rich family originally, but it's not impossible that he would have grown up in middle or lower class areas of town and have a native 'brusseleer' accent. This is further proven when looking at Hergé's other works, in particular 'Quick et Flupke', a series of bande dessinée following the antics of two brusseleer kids from the Marolles district of Brussels (their names are Brusseleers variation of Patrick and Philip, respectively )

And the brusseleer accent is, to this day, in the eyes of many, not a desired accent/an accent seen as very professional.

As a reporter that travels the world *a lot*, Tintin would probably have had to adapt his way of speaking and his pronunciation to appear more professional, and would probably have defaulted to the french equivalent of RP when speaking French. His English accent would probably depend on who taught him, but again he would probably have caught on quickly on which accent/pronunciation was preferable and adapted to that

And it's also interesting to note - looking at the various movies and animated adaptations of Tintin, along with the radio adaptation

6 out of 8 Tintin actors/voice actors were French, not Belgian. The movies in question (3 movies but two of the movies were with the same actor) were produced in 61 (Tintin et le Mystère de la toison d'or - Jean-Pierre Talbot plays Tintin), 64 (Tintin et les oranges bleues - Jean-Pierre Talbot) and 72 (Tintin et le lac aux requins - Jacques Careuil) respectively.

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

ID in alt and under cut

ID: digital painting of Cinderpelt and Brightpaw from Warriors. They are two cats curled around each other. Brightpaw, a ginger-and-white cat, is badly injured with cobwebs as bandages around her face and other injuries. She is unconscious and lying on her side in a moss nest. Cinderpelt, a gray cat, is curled around her with her tail over Brightpaw's back, looking at her with concern. They are in a shaded den surrounded by autumnal ferns, with a pool of water in the corner, and a strip of bright sunlight illuminating their faces. end ID.

Friendly reminder that in the lightning thief musical the first song(the day I got expelled) doesn’t even start with Percy.

It starts with Luke.

Because in all actuality the story started with Luke.

rhaenyra outsourcing motherhood to rhaena and assigning her that passive feminine role was REALLY interesting….. rhaenyra as a character is at her most fascinating when she is forced to navigate and ultimately perpetuate the gendered structures she despises and wishes she could transcend— the seeds of her tragedy already sewn here. just great character work
