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

The shifting community has become an absolute mess, full of futile arguments created by people who haven’t learnt to control their egos.

The competition and the need to be correct all the time are destroying the essence of shifting. Instead of coming together and genuinely helping each other, we are getting stuck in pointless disputes about who knows more or who is morally superior to who. I’m tired of coming into this app to see everyone fighting each other over petty things when instead we could be doing something good for each other.

Why are we turning shifting into a contest? Why do we insist on toxic behaviors that only serve to divide and weaken our community that is already so ridiculized?

Shifting should not be about proving anything to anyone. When we focus more on winning useless debates than on our own journey, that’s when we lose ourselves.

Fiver is my favorite character in Watership Down, he's just like me fr. I was afraid this wouldn't read especifically as Fiver, but alas... i liked my initial sketch a lot so i kept it as it was.

Hi! What order would you recommend reading the Sherlock Holmes books in. I began reading the books in order of publication a few years back, but never finished. I wanted to start reading them again but was wondering if I should just read them in order of publication again or if there is a better order, in terms of something like the order of when the books were set.

There are entire scholars who devote years of their lives to the question of 'what order did the stories occur in', shattering their minds against the cold, simple fact that Arthur Conan Doyle did not like Sherlock Holmes very much and couldn't be bothered to make the stories consistent.

THAT BEING SAID, one of the better known scholars is Baring-Gould, whose chronology is here. He tries his best to date the stories based on historical weather records, references, tone, etc. He also postulates that Watson had three wives, which I just don't buy; Watson married once and Holmes faked his own death for two years and he's NOT going to do it again.

I'm doing my own annotated chronology here if you wanna read along with Watson's Sketchbook! I'm trying to place stories where they occurred when there is an actual date attached, but I'm prioritizing a narrative arc for their relationship ;)
