More Tintin studies

Sorry to bother, esp cuz this was years ago iirc...But remember on ur tintin sideblog u posted abt the Tintin sim you made? I really, really like it and I'm wondering if u still have access to it perchance? Again sorry to bother... ;^_^

Ha. Haha. Speaking of which.

My harddisk drive that I used for that Sim (and, just the rest of my data, actually) got an error (whether due to a virus or not, I don't know how) and it's unreadable so I'm unable to recover it, and the backup was from 2022, so he looks much different and I lost ALL of my progress on his makeover...

So, unfortunately, I don't, BUT—I plan to remake him again! It's heavy with CC (Custom Content) that I have to look up and redownload again (I would even be lucky if they're not gone from the Internet yet) and unfortunately since I'm busy with college I'm unable to spend time playing games like I used to in high school.

But no worries! I plan to remake him soon and share the CCs needed for you to play (since unfortunately Gallery doesn't support CCs), and if you're interested, I'm planning to remake him as well in a new upcoming simulation game releasing next year, Paralives!

Update: Reblogging since I lost him (and my other refreshed Sims/OCs... so... remodelling in the works soon enough.

Fingers crossed he'll look like what he used to again! 🤞🏼

i tried making Tintin from the 2011 film in my Sims 4 and failed miserably

but hey. at least he looks cute tho!

"But don't let its beauty fool you. This plant can be processed into a powerful neurotoxin which can cause near permanent madness unless treated!"

Professor Calculus, upon developing a state-of-the-art automated hydroponics and pesticides delivery system, has been invited to judge a prestigious international flower show at the largest botanical garden in Belgium.

Botany experts and amateurs from around the world attend - Professor Zalamea is there to showcase his bizarre genetically modified bioluminescent blue oranges, Nash is displaying some of his explorations into living sculpture, and Castafiore is geared up to perform in the evening. Most controversially of all, Professor Fang Hsi Ying, a world leading expert on mental health, is showcasing his research on the Rajaijah plant, a plant historically used to produce madness poison.

It's this exhibit that causes a stir at the event. Security is on high alert. After the poison was used a few years ago in several high profile drug smuggling cases that were embroiled in politics, the plant is anticipated to be a subject of fear and Orientalism. Protestors calling for its destruction flock the event, and there are rumours of a plot to steal the rare plant. The organisers hope that the controversy will generate ticket sales and revenue.

Tintin and Chang are there to report on the goings on, having just confessed their feelings for each other. They're not sure what they are just yet - but even without a madness poison, Tintin's head is in a spin!

I had the idea to bring back Rajaijah juice for some time and was intially going to set it at a garden party, but I received this message from anon some time ago:

And I just loved the Drama of a botanical garden a whole lot more!

Because of the time it takes for me to make stuff and the planning that goes into my posts I do take a very long time to respond to messages, and sometimes multiple people send similar messages anticipating stuff I already have planned, so if I come across as standoffish I apologise, I just have a lot on my plate (by my own design tbh)!

I love every message I receive, I started this blog intending to respond to every message but that's becoming unrealistic ;_; I keep your messages to read back whenever I need motivation, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you if you've sent me an ask!

Hey, guys! So, it’s Valentine’s Day (well, practically) so I thought I’d make this edit for all my fellow Tintin fan friends!

I’d like to say that all of you are so amazing, great artists and great writers and phenomanal people as a whole. I wish that one day I can get the chance to meet some of you. Or Skype, too. Hand over your usernames already so I can add you!

Anyways, I apologize for this being the crappiest edit ever. I just threw it together. Also, I suck with words sometimes, but basically what I’m trying to say…

Is that;

I love you guys.

ALL OF YOU. TO BITS AND PIECES.

It's the first Tintin Day of the year! And our boy recently turned 95, isn't that amazing? 🥳🎉🎂

In related news I've been thinking about that Anastasia AU from a million years ago...

[a-journalist-from-belgium]

It’s Tintin Day again! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

It’s also Tintin’s 92nd birthday (in lockdown!), which is wild since I remember doing pieces for 89 and 90! How long have I been running this joke on my blog? At least they all qualify for priority vaccines!

first minister, tell his majesty to change the guards

It’s Tintin Day again! ﾍ(=￣∇￣)ﾉ

Based on a text post I saw somewhere. Haddock may not like flying (especially after the seaplane stunt he and Tintin pulled in Crab with the Golden Claws) but Skut works with the very best pilot crew! 🐶💕

Tintin & Captain Haddock trying out the "Grimace Shake"

Well it is Tintin Day! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

Great snakes! But don't worry, Haddock will be fine. Probably.

1st-14th: Almost Tintin Day (･ิω･ิ)

15th: It's Tintin Day! (≧▽≦)

16th-31st: So long until Tintin Day ＿|￣|○

On a more serious note, I love all the art you post. It's so... alive? I don't know art words, but I do like it! I'm always happy when you post (｡>﹏<｡)

Also, I'm very intrigued to see your take on the showerhead scene. Would that be happening some time in the future? 👉👈

Also I have no clue how tumblr culture works and if this should be an ask or message so sorry if it's wrong 🙇

This is the sweetest message ever, omg! Thank you @dailyduring!!! 🥺

Of course I take forever to get to these things, but I really appreciate how much people look forward to Tintin Day every month. It's been a constant on my blog for so long (even if the quality varies wildly) and the fact you guys are always interested makes me so happy!

And of COURSE you get the showerhead scene, an absolute classic I kept meaning to get around to. Very strong, very powerful! 🌊

i destroyed my friends at go-karting today and also heard about the tintin rally from le mans to château de cheverny! 

what else could i possibly have drawn than the “everyone ends up entering a car race together for some reason” western trope which was clearly missing from these comics? meet the marlinspike team in the pit, rastapopoulos, it’s rainbow road and tintin’s not going easy on you.
