January drabbles: Doyle

20 down, 11 to go. Allen Francis Doyle, we hardly knew ya.

Title: Brogue Demon Hunters
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Character: Doyle
Timeline: "City of..."-ish
Word count: 100

"So... Doyle, where are you from then?"

"Tought it was obvious? Ireland."

"Yeah, but where exactly? I've been trying to place your accent..."

"Fancy ya know Irish accents, do ya? Ever been dere?"

"Why, aye. Born an' raa...eee...iized." And Angel set about to prove his birthplace by, for the next ten minutes, speaking in a long-neglected dialect that might - might - have passed for Irish on... oh, say, American TV.

All his tortured vowels earned him, though, was a healthy gutlaugh and a slap on the shoulder. "Nice try, pal. Tell ya what, rent De Commitments again and practice some more."

That was funny, Angel's Irish accent always made me cringe.

Thanks! It always bugged me - Whedon's shows usually pay a lot of attention to detail, yet in 8 year, no one thought to get Boreanaz a dialect coach?

So true, so true!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Thanks!

Haha yea Angel's accent always was really really bad.

I think the nicest thing you can say about it is that it's at least more convincing than Anya's Swedish in "Selfless". Thanks!

snerk.

Believe it or not, I have people complaining about Doyle's accent. I wound up with a case of severe eye rollage.

My initial reaction when Doyle showed up was "Wow, they finally got a dialect coach on the show! Maybe now Angelus' Irish will be better too!" ...Yeah. Not happening. Hehe. Thanks!
