Request/Commission edits

My requests are: open (only for pictures)

Commissions are: closed

Commission / Request rules: You can send in an edit requests regardless if I‘m in the fandom or not, tho I would prefer it if the subject of the request were animated characters cuz I am not very good yet at editing pictures of real people. The only themes I refuse to take up are if the request includes: Pedophilia, Zoophilia (I do not count Furries for this so Beastars fans y‘all are safe), Incest or racist/harmful depictions of POC and other Minorities.

Please keep in mind though that it IS a request, meaning there is no guarantee that I will actually do it like I would for a commission.

I decided to give Blake and Mortimer another try, going by the old school anime rule of “watch 3 episodes to see if it gets good or not”

And while I am still not really clicking with it something I find funny is just how often Mortimer gets kidnapped, taken hostage or held prisoner in some shape or form.

Like I’ve watched 4 episodes so far and Mortimer had been kidnapped in 3 of them.

If I had a nickel for every time Mortimer gets kidnapped I’d melt those nickels down, turn them into a bell and put them on Mortimer so Blake could have an alert system for whenever his husband was getting snatched by someone.

#someone tell blake to put his husband on a leash#my boyfriend has started calling mortimer princess fuzzy peach#has anyone drawn these guys as peach and mario yet? i feel like someone should do that#but yeah i don’t think I’ll ever become a superfan of this show#but i did notice that i enjoy putting it on in the background while i work as the mysteries they solve are no so dang convoluted#that i need a notebook just to keep track of everything#but yeah are the comics any different by any chance?#blake et mortimer#blake and mortimer#franco belgian comics

Awesome tags are awesome.

And yes, even though Mortimer gets to save Blake once or twice, Philip Mortimer is definitely THE Damsel in Distress™©®

My favourite trivia is that in the very official "biography" for these two, the author of B&M says that Francis Blake is completely imperturbable, as cool as a cucumber, the incarnation of British composure, but with one and only exception : when Mortimer is in trouble.

The man deals with megalomaniac villains who want to destroy the world on a near daily basis, but his only weakness is his flatmate's safety ❤️😭❤️

[tyriq-edits]

Omg that is literally such an adorable trivia 🥺❤️❤️ I need to put these old men into a blender lovingly❤️❤️

I may make fun of how often Mortimer gets kidnapped but I do want to go on record here and say that “character A gets kidnapped and Character B or the entire found family must rescue them now because they love character A that much” is genuinely one of my absolute favourite tropes in media.

My boyfriend and I actually are (purely for fun I might add) currently writing a “Spirou Reboot”. Basically a sorta “what if the 2000s cartoon did not suck ahh” kinda thing. And when I say my boyfriend needs to physically hold me back so I don’t add a “Character A gets kidnapped and Character B goes crazy trying to rescue them” subplot in every other episode, I mean it in the most literal sense.

So yeah I might mock Mortimer for his ability to get kidnapped on a near daily basis but I am not “complaining” about it cuz it’s basically my favourite trope played on loop.

[adena-k]

I know right ?! I'm so glad you like it too, you see why it's my favourite !!

And yes, I also find Mortimer's habit/tradition to get kidnapped quite funny too. Especially since each kidnapping is a new opportunity to see Blake rescue him like the dashing knight he is ! (And literally too, they've both been knighted. The two of them are now Baronets.)

So the whole rescue trope is absolutely one of my favourite tropes as well ❤️😆😁❤️

[tyriq-edits]

WOAH! I had no idea they are baronets!

As someone who’s fanfics are 90% fairytale AUs i am kinda tempted to make one for these idiots now. I mean the roles are pretty much set in stone xD

Mortimer - the princess

Blake - the knight in shining armour

Olrick - the evil wizard

today's reread was In the Claws of the Viper and i don't mean to be all "these comics should be pure escapism only no real life horrors allowed" because that's almost never been the case but i do feel like the satire is being done at the expense of characterization. everyone's either an asshole or jaded or both to the point they kinda don't seem like themselves anymore

still chewing this same cud but The Dark Side is so frustrating to me because Z really was the perfect fit for the kinda commentary Y&V wanted to do, but the way Vehlmann approached these characters is so unpleasant and doesn't feel quite right. i was browsing Spirou Reporter's old blog and in this article on Spirou in Cuba what T&J said about Z in particular really struck a chord with me in this context, it goes as follows:

"Zorglub, originally, is a mix between Greg’s thriller elements and Franquin’s whimsy. And so, since we wanted to emphasize the suspense in the adventures of Spirou and Fantasio, it was imperative to have a conflict with a very dangerous enemy."

in other words they basically wanted to get rid of the Franquin influence and that same attitude towards "whimsy" also echoes throughout Y&V's work. i feel like they couldn't quite commit to it like T&J would have though, or Vehlmann was simply too busy getting his point across to put in the care it would've needed to really work. so it's like it's teetering this awkward line between the old and... something. i dunno

[tyriq-edits]

Funnily enough my main issue with Y&V’s run of the comics is that I think they didn’t lean in hard enough with the social commentary.

Like i genuinely adore the groom of sniper alley and in the claws of the viper, they are both some of my fave stories in the entire series….

For the FIRST half of the stories. Y&V set up such interesting talking points in these stories and then just abandoned them half way through.

The groom of sniper alley for example: I am obsessed with the suspense surrounding the character Victor Veritas. How he keeps pushing the narrative that the army is fighting to bring democracy to the middle east and how he essentially uses every trick in the book to keep Fantasio and Spirou from talking to any of the locals and get their Point of View on the war. I was so damn intrigued by it

But then in the second half Y&V just abandon everything they have set up and just revert back to a simple indiana jones adventure story. Victor Veritas? Ni vue ni connue. The whole entire plot point of the war? Never mentioned again the second they enter that temple.

Same with the claws of the viper. When the first half of the story talked about how the natives of the marmalade islands were prized out of their own homes just so VIPER could turn their island into a libertarian’s wet dream? I was so intrigued by it. It’s something that genuinely happens to so many indigenous communities around the globe and barely anyone acknowledges it. And then the SECOND Spirou manages to escape the island it turns into a gigantic chase scene and all commentary on the issue of native people suffering at the hands of foreign investors just is never mentioned again.

In my opinion they wanted to get rid of the whinsey as you said it but then every dang time make a hard 180 turn at the half way point of the story as if they remembered: oh wait we are supposed to write an adventure story! Forget everything that happened just now!

So yeah i genuinely wished they’d lean in harder with the political commentary. Fully commit to the bit instead of literally blue balling me at the half way point by pointing out social issues but not adding any actual meaningful commentary to it by just ignoring it halfway through

[sienineva]

(caveat: i have not read the sniper valley album)

ya we mainly agree, like i said in my op i was also left feeling like Y&V couldn't or wouldn't fully commit to the points they wanted to make so the end result was just kinda awkward and middling in that regard. trying to have their cake and eat it too. the crux of my op was more that Vehlmann's take on the pre-existing characters was overly cynical and reductive without really even adding much of anything to the intended message. like this comic has always had social commentary in it, Y&V didn't need to sacrifice established characterization for its sake. they did it just because and i think their albums are worse off for it

[tyriq-edits]

Yeaaahhh true

Personally i fear what happened to Spirou and Fantasio and the other characters in the Y&V run is a case study in action of this meme

Because like you said it already started with earlier comic runs, and in case of Fantasio’s mischaracterisation I blame the 2008 cartoon as ground zero. Y&V basically went from there and …. Yeah.

Again I genuinely adore the Y&V runs, but I am also very much aware and mostly agree with you on its flaws.

I am in the world’s weirdest writer’s block of my own creation.

I have been trying to write a spirou and fantasio omegaverse one shot for several weeks now at this point but seemingly cannot think of a way to combine all the scenes I have in my mind.

Usually when I face this issue while writing I go to my boyfriend and we spitball ideas at each other until I have a decent sequence of events.

Problem is: My boyfriend may know what mpreg is but he has no idea about the omegaverse and the its rules.

And idk if I or him are mentally ready for a lore-dump-conversation about the omegaverse.

Like I know I NEED to spitball ideas with him to make my Spifan omegaverse fic a reality. But I do not want to sit down and explain to a grown socially adjusted man what heat cycles and nesting are

Tomodachi Life is slowly turning me into an overbearing mother-in-law cuz I keep checking up on all my married Miis waiting for them to FINALLY start making babies like I am begging them to give me grand children.

Man, I wish I can read franco belgian comics more in America. Or heck wish they had them in our libraries and bookstores growing up. When I picked up Asterix the Gaul and tintin when I was in middle school, it was so much interesting and funny than any other comic I’ve ever read. It was simple. It had the beginning, climax, and end, nothing too complicated.

As someone from the United States, I do agree that western comics like Marvel/DC can be a mess. And unless you are continuous reading from the very very beginning to the end, it can be confusing and frustrating. Don’t get me started on the Archie sonic comics when I learned about them when I had a sonic phase.

The only western graphic novel that I bought and I’ve really liked was a short superman graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang. I thought it was a really nice spin of early Superman.

Oh god yeah as a life long Sonic fan I have never even TRIED getting the hang of the archie comics 🫪

But I will say there is ONE American comic series that i am incredibly fond of. That being the Bone comics by Jeff Smith. But! Bone works on the same logic as a manga. You start at volume one, and go from there. It is very easy to get into.

But regarding franco belgian comics, let me give you a hand:

You can find all the adventures of Tintin comics in english on the internet archive and the entire Tintin cartoon series is also on the internet archive. For the comics i do recommend skipping to the cigars of the Pharao though as the first 3 volumes, having been released in the 1920s and 30s are pretty dang racist and just not fun to read. It’s like watching VERY early Mikey Mouse cartoons essentially. The Spielberg movie is probably on Netflix?

Asterix I think are on Scribd too but I am unsure if they have all of them. You could also watch the Asterix movies on netflix I guess if they are available in your country. I reccomend Asterix and the vikings. I used to watch that movie on loop as a kid.

For Spirou and Fantasio unfortunately only a handful of comics have been translated into english but the ones that have been translated are among my favourites (I highly recommend good luck Vito. Oh and just skip the adventure down under. It is not AS offensive as some Belgian comics from the 30s and 50s but still the depiction of indegenous australians aged like piss in my eyes) BUT the 90s cartoon is almost fully available in english on Youtube and the 2000s cartoon also has a pretty decent english dub tho I admit I am not super fond of that one as it basically reimagined Zorglub as Elon Musk.

Gaston Lagaffe has had english translations renamed Gomer Goof but idk where to find them :(

For Johan and Peewit I have only been able to find the english translation of the magic flute

Lucky Luke has some issues in english on Scribd.

My opinions on the Barbie movies

And before the “Barbie and the Diamond Castle” fans come at me and start claiming I hate it because I’m homophobic: I actually hate the movie cuz I thought it was not even NEARLY gay enough.

My Tier List for the adventures of Tintin

Turns out I really love making tier lists xD. Also hello there Tintin nation, how y’all doing

[tyriq-edits]

My tier list for different transformers TV shows.

CW: Personal Opinion

If you wonder where I’d put Cyberworld it’d be in “I like it 👍”

I enjoy it but only when I watch it with my boyfriend and we laugh about all the meme references we spot. It’s not that fun when you watch it alone.

If you want to share your tierlist/opinions on my tierlist, my askbox is open 👍

Content Warning: Personal Opinion

Anyways here are my thoughts on the mainline Spirou and Fantasio comics.

Might make one like these for Asterix and Tintin one day too
