My Citadel theory is that basically EVERYONE is playing at an angle. Everyone's a double spy. Imagine that

The Marlow Murder Club (2024- )

Judith, Suzie and Becks start an investigation. To assist with official police investigation, headed by Tanika, They must suspect witnesses, and face down real danger as they work against the clock to stop the killer in their tracks.

A delightful murder mystery. If you enjoy shows like 'Death in Paradise', 'Beyond Paradise', and 'Signora Volpe', then this will be right up your alley. It's set in the beautiful Marlow, with quirky characters and beautiful interiors. You will love it. There's no stress, no gory murder scenes, just an interesting mystery. It is light-hearted, and I hope they will make more episodes soon!

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

#tintin #adventures of tintin #comic #captain haddock #archibald haddock #snowy #milou #fanart #the crab with the golden claws #i remember tintin crafting a trumpet to communicate with an elephant #and he remarks he must get the accent correct #very odd scenario but it shows he would be a stickler for that sort of thing #i also have to say accents do not indicate how smart someone is #a lot of pundits use an english accent to sound more credible #but i have to say there are a lot of fucking idiots here #me included #thank you 2011 film for validating my scottish haddock headcanon #any french speakers who have read to this point i wonder what your hcs are for his french speaking accent

Jon he's really trying here cut him a break

(tumblr crunched the resolution of this comic a lot rip)

#dracula daily #hello im back from the void with shitty dracula doodles #i actually drew this last year but never posted it #here it is now though #count dracula #jonathan harker #Drac reading the english bradshaw guide is still one of the funniest moments in Dracula to me #i know it is supposed to show how he's planning to infiltrate england and appear local #but it really does just come across like he picked it up in a panic and pretended to be reading it when Jonathan came back into the room #and being the weird guy he is thought reading train schedules was really normal behaviour #bram stoker's dracula is a romcom #re: dracula

ofmd is like not comedy as in sitcom but comedy as in shakespearean where it’s psychological trauma and conflicts of violence but with dick jokes and the promise of marriage in the end

#girl help I’m thinking about genre again #this show has the part of me that was an English major for one semester in a chokehold #has anyone done this yet #ofmd #ofmd season 2 #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd spoilers #our flag means death #ofmd meta

its wild to me that for as much as people rave about the voice acting in FFXIV (and rightfully so), i've literally never seen anyone talk about the performances for nidhogg and hraesvelgr???

like those VAs were having to deal with a conlang that looks like this:

and still managed to give really great performances with emotion befitting the content of each line

anyway this is an appreciation post for simon greenall (nidhogg) and steven hartley (hraesvelgr), absolute legends

#rambles #ffxiv #this post is brought to you by DSR prog #where the highlight of every pull is the p3 transition #when nidhogg shows up hollering SLOSKH AN GAHR / AHM IN LHEIN FHAIL #the latter part of which my static lovingly mistransliterates as I AM NAMED KYLE #also i learned while making this post that nidhogg and lolorito share an english VA lmfao

OUT OF TIME

#artists on tumblr #cinema #goncharov #katya #illustration #love how martin scorsese kept clocks in frame to show these characters are all running out of time #digital art #with a hat nod to saul bass #unreality #<— the goncharov movie doesn’t actually exist it’s a bit everyone is doing #anyway I love noir stuff! this was fun lmao #also Marlowe sorry for recycling your caption I discovered too late that English has NO other good idioms for it #was working off the idea of 'the 11th hour' but that felt too on the nose to put as caption too. i take my shitposting seriously

challengers twitter pointed out something very cool: art's coach speaking to him in german!

the subs says "just invite her to serve." (which doesn't make any sense? and art doesn't even go to her after that lmao?) but he apparently actually says "wirf den ball etwas höher." which means "throw the ball a little higher.".

so art knows what patrick's house looks like which means he went there, he understands when his coach speaks to him in german and he's the only one who can pronounce "zweig", a german surname, the right way.

art learning german for patrick and spending holidays with him and his family is canon, i don't make the rules.

#challengers #art donaldson #patrick zweig #idk if a lot of people actually noticed that but i didn't so!!#showing intimacy in such subtle ways... challengers knows how to talk to me #artrick #patrickart #artpatrick #“ZWWWWEIG” lol #anyway putting little nice things like this for non english speakers only to understand is so cool #this with germans #pensiero stupendo for italians #“l'oeuf” track (beach scene) being pronounced “love” for the french #to me; a french person; “l'oeuf” sounds more like “laugh” but i don't see why it would be called like that #and “love” obviously fits the track and their discussion on the beach wayyyy more so #anyway i love it #idk if i prefer art learning german for patrick OR patrick teaching art some german #art wanting to learn SO patrick taught him is the best i think

I'm not immune to corny tropes

#dirk strider #jake english #dirkjake #homestuck #hom3stuck #hs #galaxicsart #i dont CARE if it's played out #striders being cagey about taking off their shades but letting their partner look at their eyes...#OUGHHH #god DAMN IT #dirk being vulnerable and showing jake his eyes #jake being awestruck by how pretty and orange and unique they are #dirk being flustered by how intently and how in love jake is with him and how handsome he finds him #AHHHHHHHHH #im normal so so normal #theres a reason that its so common #its just so sweet and intimate...

fucking shit here's another one

danny is heir apparent to the realms, and while he cannot be summoned as he has not been crowned yet, he can still receive gifts.

bear with me

as he is heir apparent, his will is mirrored by the infinite realms. so in the middle of English class, as he's staring at Mr. Lancer, his deep, resonating thought is

"Fuck man I don't get any of this, I need like, a really good English tutor."

meanwhile, in the batcave, constantine goes fucking rigid and stares at Red Hood, who he just knows that the High King wants for some reason or the other.

"Hood, were you aware that the High King of the Infinite Realms wants you handed to him on a silver platter?"

"What."

meanwhile all over the world English professors and teachers and straight A students are going missing and turning up in Amity of all places.

cultists are confused because like, normally the King of Death wants cheeseburgers and frenchfries, but now it wants people? weird but alright, they'll send over people they guess.
