like, i know it’s widely accepted (is it canon?) that tlt characters have kiwi accents but i so clearly hear ianthe calling harrow “Harry” in an american accent, something about it makes the nickname even more annoying and obnoxious in my mind. idk if it’s because i’m american so i read in my own accent but i can’t hear harry in any other accent it just doesn’t feel as effective

She gives ianthe an EXTREMELY obnoxious posh british accent, and I’m very attached to it, even though as someone with a strong regional accent, I support tamsyn’s make everyone sound kiwi agenda

the 3rd do cannonically have an accent different than Gideon’s and described as posh

I don’t know enough English to tell if it’s meant to be australian vs kiwi or straight-up British.
