do you ever stop and assess your outfit based on how easy or difficult it would make things for you if an adventure began today?
#it's obviously good to dress cute but can you run in those shoes#do you have pockets#this is why girls want our dresses to have pockets#in case of an adventure!#of course people do manage to have adventures without being able to run in their shoes all the time#hercule poirot couldn't run in his shoes#he had trouble walking long distances#because he had this weird thing about wanting his feet to look small and dainty#so he wore very small tight-fitting shoes#no I don't understand#anyway he had plenty of adventures!#I still think that the person best dressed for adventure most of the time was Tintin#I mean the classic blue jersey and plus fours outfit is the gold standard#but honourable mention goes to The Black Island where he spent most of the time wearing a kilt and knee socks#and he captured and tied up counterfeiters (while calling one of them Puss In Boots) and befriended a gorilla#Tintin is amazing#there's a graphic novel by guy delisle where he visits iirc shanghai#and there's a panel where he's just like (with a smile of absolute wellbeing) 'I feel like Tintin'#it is one of the best feelings you'll ever get to feel like Tintin#I have most often had it while scrambling over rocks at the seaside#which is also pretty strongly Black Island-influenced#anyway the two most important belgians are poirot and tintin that's all
