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

I believe Theo not only can speak french, but is even MORE fluent in reading french than english. The Doctors may have talked to him in both languages but I bet most of their books and notes were in french and Theo got used to only reading in this language

I have this headcanon that the Andersons are half french (mrs Anderson is french)
I don’t know why, but the idea came to me one day, and it stuck with me for at least two months, so I wanted to finally share it

Ok hear me put: doug eiffel french
I’ve had this headcanon since before i really started listening to wolf, just because his last name is eiffel, but since then it’s become my cherished wolf 359 bilingual headcanon (minkowski and hilbert are already bilingual, but i always headcanon a specific character too)
Also i just think it’d be funny lol
i feel like maybe i don't understand what you mean? like... that he's bilingual, or that he's culturally french...? because my hang-up either way is that, canonically, like... his middle + last name are both anglicized pronunciations; i think he probably has french heritage somewhere, but i don't think he'd like being reminded of that, and i really doubt he's first-generation american. i don't think he speaks other languages, and he is canonically not just born and raised in the US, but, like, american american. obnoxiously american. doug eiffel is the most likely wolf 359 character to chant USA! USA! doug eiffel loves thanksgiving and he almost definitely loves the fourth of july.
eiffel is like, painfully uncritical about the american pop culture propagandizing that's saturated his brain. like, i guarantee he would make kinda xenophobic jokes about The French in the same way he does about The Russians. he'd be mortified by this.
... which, you know what? actually, you should keep calling him french as much as possible. i see the value in it now.

ok for most of the criticisms/nitpicks ive seen for OPLA so far, I can usually see both sides - the production side of "we dont want to take this too far/we felt this would be too difficult to attempt in live action/we cant make this work/adaptational changes", and the fan side of "this should remain faithful to the source material all the way to the detail/this is significant to one piece as we know it and to us/this becomes relevant later". (ive been following the OPLA news perhaps a bit closer than the average person?, so ive had a little more time to process some of these changes, and i think I tend to largely agree with the productions decisions so far.) but. but but but.
of all criticisms and nitpicks to have about live action one piece, the one I cannot fathom are people complaining about how iñaki said "gum gum", or people upset he didnt say his attack in japanese. like... gamers. be for real. this is an english speaking show, made for an english speaking audience. They're Not Gonna Do That

❛  when i get out of here, i’m going to kill you. i promise you that.  ❜ (Madeleine to Subyss)
Crimson eyes shone with sadistic glee at the young women verbally lashing out at him.
To her threat, he seemed quite unafraid. "You wouldn't be the first one to try and murder me. And I'm still here. Besides, it'll be rather hard to hold a knife if I decide to stretch you."
It was years since he had the opportunity to actually stretch the rack, now mostly used as a flogging surface.
He leaned back to make sure her bounds were secure (and he did tie quite strongly, nearly cutting off circulation), before slowly removing his jacket and loosening his shift to allow her to see his chest. A large scar stretch around were his heart was, stretching up his stern and pectoral muscles, with some more from the removal. Above it was a tatooed a small cross, much smaller than his scars. He removed some more clothes, baring his upper body, and turned around to let her see the large hedgehog tatooed accross his shoulder palid shoulder blades.
"If this didn't kill me, why do you think you can ?"
Discreetely, he moved forward, allowing himself to do a first crank. Not nearly enough to damage anything, but it kept her muscles and skin taught.

"Now, why don't you behave a little bit. Then, I won't dislocate anything, and settle for a whipping. But be warned, I can change my mind any minute."

After Mushroom Kingdom and Koopa Kingdom, we have...
✨The boos and the ghosts✨
1 & 2) King Boo, Hellen Gravely.
King Boo is the king of the Boos and their shepherd, he really wants to help his kind.
Hellen Gravely is also a pastor, but she is one of the ghosts and also King Boo's assistant.
King boo and Hellen are a couple in this AU
EXTRA HEADCANONS:
-> There is a difference between being a shepherd of boos and of ghosts, King boo doesn't help the ghosts, that is until he starts dating Hellen, now two help both types of ghosts.
-> King Boo is a human being and also Boo at the same time, before he died he was a normal human, after he died he became Boo, he became a "lost soul" but King Brennus saved him, after the former king saved King Boo, he turned into a little Boo, Brennus raised him to be the new king.
Brennus raised King Boo as a son, but I think their relationship is like Granny and Slendrina, they are both piscopaths. Brennus didn't know anything about being a father, he was a little cold towards King boo, after a few years King boo became king and Brennus retired as king.
-> Hellen is a human, she was born as a ghost, her parents were ghosts, when she was born her mother abandoned her and her father. Her father raised her, a few years later he remarried her stepmother, at the time her parents were dating, Helen met her half-sisters, Brittany and Selena, soon she became a great older sister, a year later her last sister to Elena. During her growing up, her father, William Gravely, taught her various spells from several books. When she was a teenager, Helen had an accident, a magic ended up affecting her skin that made her look like the one that appeared in Luigi's mansion 3, she was desperate and went to school with a hood, but someone discovered it and took off her hood and everyone laughed. She cried a lot that day.
Her father discovered that makeup could save her face, he told his daughter "You have a beautiful face" but Hellen thought she was ugly, when she became an adult, she became a shepherdess of ghosts and opened her own hotel to help ghosts.
-> King boo and Hellen met after the events of Luigi's mansion dark moon, King boo ran away from E. Gadd's laboratory and got lost in the forest, Hellen found him and was enchanted because she was his fan, she offered King boo to stay in their hotel, they then came up with a plan to capture Luigi and his friends, in the events of Luigi's mansion 3, they had a romantic atmosphere, right after Luigi's mansion 3, they helped each other escape from E. Gadd's laboratory and then began to to fall in love.
3) Types of Boos
Boos are spirits that have lost souls, when they die they are lost in different places, if they are not protected or guided they are lost.
FUNFACTS:
-> Boos are great helpers, they know how to do different things!
-> It's normal for boos to fall in love with other boos, their sexuality is non-binary and they can be pansexual and polyamory.
-> Because they are lost, the Boos end up becoming shy and afraid of other beings. {This is based on Super Mario Bros 3 where when Mario entered the mansion, the Boos wanted to scare him and then the plumber turns to see them and they look shy and very cute}
-> The role of shepherds is to guide and help their species, when the species is guided by the shepherd, he can become helpers, King boo's duty is to guide them so they don't end up like "lost souls".
4) King Brennus boo/Big Boo
Meet the ancient king of boos, the king Brennus known as Big Boo.
In Yoshi's island, there was an antagonist called Big Boo, when I saw him I thought he was a king, so I had this idea for him.
The idea of ​​making Big Boo is that he is a Boo but he can turn into a big Boo or a small Boo like the others {This is based on Mario Wonder where when they defeat King Boo, he turns into a Boo}
HEADCANONS:
-> Brennus was king of the Boos, at the time that Bowser's parents got married, I can say that he has been king for many years, he was known as "Big Boo" due to the fact that he was taller than most of his species.
However, even though he was king, there was a problem. He needed a successor! It was difficult to find a decent one until one night everything changed...
-> One night Brennus was walking through the forest like he always did, then he found a soul, but it wasn't just any soul, it was King boo! Brennus ran to help the dead king, he was all bleeding and full of marks on his body, that's when he discovered something, King boo had become a "lost soul", Brennus made a room for King boo and went to sleep.
The next day, Brennus and Nurse Boo went to check on King Boo, but when they entered, there was no longer a King there, there was a child, that's when they discovered it was King Boo himself, he had become a half-Boo human.
-> Brennus then saw something different in Boo, he was different from the others, so he made decisions, adopted and decided that King Boo would be the next king, over the years Brennus raised King Boo as a son, but I can say that they have an equal relationship from Granny and Slendrina, taught how to be a shepherd and much more.
After King boo became an adult, he was crowned as the new king and Brennus retired as king, now they both live in the castle.
-------
And that it guys! Bye!
