i wonder what their accents are meant to convey
#liveblogging#series: arcane#ep: 1.2#rank perhaps?#like the ppl with english accents so far are all either leaders of their community and/or upper class#i cant distinguish specific regions very well cause im not from these places so my knowledge is limited but even that seems to be a factor#vander's and the male enforcer leader's accent seems to be some kind of middle-class english accent based on what i know#no idea of the region tho#the kirammans accents are incredibly posh and while theyre not the richest ppl in piltover theyre undeniably upper class#its also the accent that gets associated with english ppl (esp royalty and the like) in media quite often#and the kind that ppl usually try to imitate when asked to do an english accent#which in my mind is contextually important considering theyre actually born in piltover#unlike mel and heimerdinger who have more of a londoners(?) accent#neither of whom were born in piltover and also have supremely high positions in the governing body#which is where the royalty of england is located; where a lot of media focus regarding england is located#where the most diverse population in england is; and where there tends to be a lot of tourists; travellers; and other ephemeral populations#silko hasnt shown up much yet so i'll edit this later when i hear more of him#i cant really distinguish any particular regional american accent so far but regardless theyve all been more average rank#followers or at the very least of a lower rank than the ppl with english accents#viktor i think was meant to feel ''other'' and perhaps even mysterious with his slavic accent#im not entirely sure what the female enforcer's accent is esp with how raspy her voice is#but it might be british of some kind????? not entirely sure#mmm idk i need more samples im still less than halfway through ep 2 lol#edit: oh silkos accent is a londoners; interesting but also it makes sense considering he more or less runs zaun#or the undercity rather; i keep forgetting they dont call it zaun lol
