Tim Ledsam yearns for tunnels in which he is given immortality he never asked for. Jonathan Sims yearns to recount others' tragedies for our entertainment. Jessica Law yearns to play an inanimate being that speaks using a stolen voice. Frank Voss yearns to engage in an investigation that ultimately leads them to their doom.

Had an excuse to put the Mechs in my final project for graphic design history and fucking RAN with it. Behold an art nouveau/Alphonse Mucha inspired Tim

Overly Specific Typecasting in podcasting/adjacent (compilation)

- Jessica Law as sentient inanimate objects that enjoy violence, putting on shows, and stealing vocal chords from living people they have murdered

- Lydia Nicholas as woman with too many knives and not enough social skills

- Alistair Stuart as Ship Dude

- Tim Ledsam having a bad time in tunnels

- and. I cannot get over this. Jonathan Sims as tortured academics named Jo(h)n recording the horrors they uncover into an audio format

Okay, accent/pronunciation post.

In Hereward the Wake, Tim pronounces “duty” with a /j/ (yod) which creates a pronunciation something like /ˈdjuː.ti/ in the IPA or “dyoo-tee” in English phonetic spelling. From what I can tell, this is one of two common pronunciations in English accents, the other being /ˈdʒuː.ti/ in the IPA or “djoo-tee” in English phonetic spelling. This second pronunciation features coalescence of the d and yod to create a dj sound. This can be contrasted by Rachel’s pronunciation of “duty” in Alice, which features yod dropping, and can be written as /ˈduː.ti/ in the IPA or “doo-tee” in English phonetic spelling. Although Tim is doing a very odd accent in Hereward, it doesn’t really matter in this case. In Riddle of the Sphinx he pronounces “introduced” with a coalescence of the d and yod (/ˌɪn. trə ˈdʒuːst/ or “in-truh-djoost”) and regardless of whether it is coalesced or not, as long as it’s not *dropped* it works for our purposes.

Okay, now we get into why this is funny to me. The yod-close back rounded vowel pair (/ju/ or “yoo”) comes to English from French. The French close front rounded vowel sound (/y/, I have no idea how I’d write this in English phonetic spelling, but make the inside of your mouth like you’re gonna say “ee” and your lips like your gonna say “oo” and that’s how you make it) came into English and was separated into /i/ and /u/ (or “ee” and “oo”) but then the /i/ was replaced with yod. This was not only applied to words that came from French, but also some pre-existing English words as well (and is now applied to foreign words once they’ve been in English long enough, like “Cuba”).

Now, when did the yod-close back rounded vowel pair enter English? Well, when was English heavily influenced by French? That’s right, when the Normans took over. And who fought the Normans? Hereward!

This lead me to the idea of an Anglish translation of Hereward the Wake. Has anyone done that yet?

[Note: information on the yod-close back rounded vowel pair came from this video by Dr. Geoff Lindsey; IPA representations were taken from the online Cambridge Dictionary and Wikictionary and adjusted where necessary (such as making “introduce” into “introduced”). Also I’m not actually positive that Tim doesn’t coalesce the d and yod in “duty”, it sounds kinda like both to me, but either way it comes from the French which is the important part for this post.]

#baaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh #okay so nothing i state in this am i sure about. this is my understanding based on what little i know about linguistics etc etc #also the point was using pronunciation that we ultimately have because of the normans in a song about a guy who hated the normans. #i fucking love the accent he does for hereward. i could just talk about that. about what i like about it. #but mostly it boils down to enjoying it *because its interesting.* #i do not know *why* he does such an accent for it. but i like it. #the mechanisms #hereward the wake #gunpowder tim #tim ledsam #accent discussion #i guess also part of the point is that i suspect it was not intentional and thats just part of his accent #but i dont know. i havent specifically listened to everything i can to search for another instance of consonant-yod coalescence from him. #well. consonant-yod coalesnence that isnt present in my accent is what id be looking for. because some words have it in english generally- #speaking. like ‘picture’ (pic-chur or sometimes pit-chur) and ‘actually’ (ack-choo-lee or ack-choo-uh-lee)

Ok so out of all the mechanisms Tim is most likely the one from Earth right? It means he should be aware about atleast common myths and fairytales right? Do you think he ever hears someone's name and be like "Guys we should follow this one, i swear they are gonna have some kickass story. They have the same name as a character from tragic story from my home, just trust me on this one guys-"
