he’s the adult supervision, he’s the voice of reason, he’s a cringefail king, it’s Captain Haddock! Quite a few people asked for a timeline post for Haddock after I posted one of Tintin.

I found the whole idea of the Haddock family curse to be very interesting, and the implications behind it to be pretty dark... cw for alcoholism and childhood abuse. Let me know if you need anything tagged.

To figure out the timeline the evidence for Haddock’s age I found was in an animated adaptation of Explorers on the Moon where Haddock mentions he has around forty years of sailing experience. I doubt he was running around on ships as a newborn so that places his age during the canon comics at around 60ish, give or take a few years, which in my timeline places his childhood during the late Victorian era!

Left to right, top to bottom:

Child - Archibald Haddock had a pretty rough childhood and family life. The legacy of the “Haddock family curse” weighs heavily on him, and so does the alcoholism that runs generationally. His father is often drunk, taking his anger and frustration out on Archibald. Fully believing the family curse, Archibald’s father drills the idea that he is destined for failure into his head. 

Archibald’s only respite is his grandfather, who tells him stories of Sir Francis Haddock and other tall tales from the sea. His grandfather also would take him out on fishing trips, the lochs and the sea being his refuge. 

Teenager - It’s the 1880s and Archibald is left aimless after his grandfather passes away, passing the time by hiding from his father and drinking during the day. He fully believes he has no real future and lets himself get swept up by whatever will come along next.

Young Adult - Archibald decides to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and becomes a sailor, feeling at home at sea. He cleans up somewhat after befriending George Chester as the two train on the same merchant vessel. Chester drags a reluctant Archibald along into all kinds of crazy antics, with Archibald wanting to stay on the straight and narrow.

Archibald is drafted during the First World War, serving in the Grand Fleet. He is stationed at the Orkney and Shetland Islands with Chester.

Canon - After the war Archibald relapses on his addiction again, but is able to hold onto work in the merchant fleet. He eventually becomes a captain of a merchant vessel where his mental health issues are taken advantage of in the Crab with the Golden Claws. 

Seeing his crew mutiny, kidnap (and attempt to murder) a boy on his ship was a major wake up call - Haddock is now imbued with a sense of responsibility for Tintin (even if Tintin seems to handle things better than Haddock!). He doesn’t understand what Tintin sees in him but he’ll be damned if he proves him wrong. He’s not above calling him an idiot when the time is right though.

Post Canon - After Tintin loses his job Haddock does his best to support him.  He uses his wealth to further causes he believes in, donating money to artist collectives and scientific research that was repressed by fascist governments. Before Belgium even joins the Second World War he and the Marlinspike team proactively go out and foil various Nazi plots. Marlinspike Hall is firebombed by the Nazis in retaliation, but after the war Haddock funds various housing cooperative projects. Coming from a working class background he hasn’t forgotten the hardships a lot of people face.

Elderly - At this point Haddock is secure in his found family. He’s been living with his partner Ramo Nash, and has taken up various arts and crafts as hobbies. Looking back, he never expected to be a father, but is incredibly proud of Tintin. He never officially adopts him as a part of him still fears the family curse (plus they both agree “Haddock” as a name definitely does not suit Tintin)!

what angers me the most about the italian gov's unwavering support of israel is that they're justifying it with "we need to protect the jewish community" from "islamic fanaticism" when these are the same people who cosplay nazi generals and have busts of mussolini in their homes and refuse to celebrate april the 25th (the day we celebrate the liberation from nazi occupation) because its "too political" and who continue to allow marches to mussolini's home in his honor every year (<- im fully aware the current gov isnt the only one allowing that and if you're wondering how i feel about the previous "leftist" governments allowing it too i feel nauseous)

real Christians don't excuse Nazism.

"b-but!! the Jews killed Jesus!!" NOPE. the government and corrupt religious leaders killed Jesus.

If you didn't already know: calling certain kinds of art 'degenerate', 'gross', and/or 'sick' is a nazi/fascist dogwhistle, and it's related to their pro-eugenics narrative.

Here's the deets:

From wikipedia:

The Degenerate Art exhibition (German: Die Ausstellung "Entartete Kunst") was an art exhibition organized by Adolf Ziegler and the Nazi Party in Munich from 19 July to 30 November 1937. The exhibition presented 650 works of art, confiscated from German museums, and was staged in counterpoint to the concurrent Great German Art Exhibition.[1] The day before the exhibition started, Hitler delivered a speech declaring "merciless war" on cultural disintegration, attacking "chatterboxes, dilettantes and art swindlers".[1]Degenerate art was defined as works that "insult German feeling, or destroy or confuse natural form or simply reveal an absence of adequate manual and artistic skill".[1]

Hitler's rise to power on 30 January 1933 was quickly followed by actions intended to cleanse the culture of so-called degeneracy: book burnings were organized, artists and musicians were dismissed from teaching positions, and museum curators were replaced by Party members.[2]

From the holocaust encyclopedia:

When the Nazi Party assumed control in 1933, its leaders began a campaign to align German politics, society, and culture with Nazi goals. This process of Nazification was widespread. The effort became known as Gleichschaltung, the German word for “coordination” or “synchronization.”

The Nazi regime disbanded organizations of every kind. It replaced these groups with state-sponsored, Nazi professional associations, student leagues, and sports and music clubs. To qualify for membership, a person had to be a politically reliable citizen and able to prove “Aryan” ancestry. All others were excluded from these groups and increasingly from the rest of German society.

In September 1933, the Nazis created the Reich Chamber of Culture. The Chamber oversaw the production of art, music, film, theater, radio, and writing in Germany. The Nazis sought to shape and control every aspect of German society. They believed that art played a critical role in defining a society’s values. In addition, the Nazis believed art could influence a nation’s development. Several top leaders became involved in official efforts on art. They sought to identify and attack “dangerous” artworks as they struggled to define what “truly German” art looked like.

The Nazis also claimed that the ambiguity of modern art contained Jewish and Communist influences that could “endanger public security and order.” They claimed that modern art conspired to weaken German society with “cultural Bolshevism.” According to Nazi ideology, only criminal minds could be capable of creating such so-called harmful art. The Nazis called this art "degenerate." They used the term to suggest that the artists' mental, physical, and moral capacities must be in decay. At the time, "degenerate" was widely used to describe criminality, immorality, and physical and mental disabilities.

The campaign to define and control art was shaped by disagreements among leaders. Officials competed for influence within the party and government. In this case, chief Nazi ideologue Alfred Rosenberg clashed with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels led the Reich Chamber of Culture. As a young man, he had admired prominent avant-garde German artists. He even hoped that a form of “Nordic Expressionism” could become an official Nazi style of art. Rosenberg led a more conservative faction called the Combat League for German Culture. This effort was more aligned with Adolf Hitler’s tastes. Hitler prefered more realistic and classical styles of painting, sculpture, and architecture. Goebbels won this clash with Rosenberg by conforming to Hitler's tastes.

The regime attempted to clarify what “truly German art” looked like in summer 1937. The first annual Great German Art Exhibition opened in Munich at that time. Hitler reviewed selected artworks the month before it opened. He furiously ordered the removal of many examples of German avant-garde art. Goebbels witnessed this outburst and began making hasty plans for a separate exhibition. He intended to define and mock the types of art that the regime considered "degenerate." Hitler approved of the plan. The Nazis began confiscating thousands of artworks from German museums.

Roughly one third of the most valuable confiscated artworks were ultimately sold to enrich the Nazi regime. Another third of the artworks disappeared. Some have reemerged over the years. With few exceptions, none of the works were returned to the museums from which they were taken. German museums have not received financial restitution. In rare cases, some art from private collections was returned to its rightful owners. Several European and American museums still possess artworks taken by the Nazis.

Edit: To the pro-censorship antis who are reblogging this, congrats on missing the point COMPLETELY.

Enjoying Harry Potter feels like a dog whistle now. It feels like by still actively enjoying the franchise and buying merch for it despite everything you have taken a specific stance. It's political now. I think the excuse that people just "don't know" is now impossible. You can ask any Jewish or trans person. We see the way people talk about this stuff. We're not stupid. People don't just "like" Harry Potter anymore. There's ulterior motives behind it. It's the same reason people started getting into PewDiePie again once he was being put under fire for his bigotry. It's them choosing to take a stance in a more sanitized way, one with plausible deniability. They aren't racist/transphobic/antisemitic, they'll say. They just like it because it's nostalgic right? It makes them happy "You people are insane let people enjoy things, it's not that deep" when in reality it is that deep. and they know it. anything to make them look like hapless victims being unfairly put under fire by this irrational "woke" mob. Anything to make the subject of oppression look like petty playground bickering and undermine the severity of it all.

Hello! I see many Catalan twitter accounts with this triangle 🔻, what does it mean? Is it pro-independence? :o

Hi!

No, it's a symbol for the Spanish left-wing, often used by members of the Spanish political party Podemos. It represents the symbol that political prisoners had to wear in Nazi concentrations camps.

However, it's worth saying that Spanish and Catalan political prisoners in Nazi concentrations camps only wore the red triangle when they were arrested in political activities (some people on exile joined the French resistance). Most of them did not wear the red triangle but the blue triangle (for stateless people, since Franco had declared all who escaped the dictatorship on exile to not be Spanish) and usually with an "S" on it that stands for "Spanien" ("Spanish" in German).

enjoyed spyfall overall but. do you think it ever occurred to chibnall that he could just not write the part where first the master worked with the nazis and then the doctor undid his perception filter so they'd see he was brown and turn on him. that didn't have to happen did it

[CW: Nazism, eugenics, severe ableism]

It was as part of their racial education that a group from Freiburg’s Ludendorff secondary school came to tour Emmendingen in January 1938. Afterward, each of the forty-two pupils was asked to write an essay about the visit. The results show how well the propaganda worked and how public allegedly secret Nazi “solutions” for psychiatric patients had become. A few of the Ludendorff students clearly hung on to a vestige of pre-Nazi morality, empathizing with the patients, writing that it was wrong to use the sick as “exhibits,” or asking whether a reasonably healthy person might not go insane in such a place. Several were disappointed that the inmates did not look nearly as “repulsive and disgusting” as they had been led to believe. Most, though, followed their teacher’s lead, describing how they had seen the “high point of horror,” or “human ruins with bestial instincts,” and comparing the inmates with animals. No one in the group questioned the necessity of racial legislation. Most surprising was the fact that a possible “euthanasia” action against the mentally ill was openly discussed, and every single pupil remembered to write that the principal argument for such a policy was to save public funds. One even specified that the money should be used “for the purpose of armament.” Thirty-five of the forty-two pupils clearly supported the sentiment that the German people should be “freed from such evil appendages”—meaning the patients—and anticipated that asylum doctors would not be necessary for much longer. The teacher did have to correct one student, though, who failed to identify the Reich’s preferred psychiatric treatment, writing “Hemlock, according to [WWI-era 'euthanasia' proponents] Hoche-Binding,” on the paper in red ink.

The fastest way to get blocked around here is LITERALLY HAVING FUEHRER AND A NUMBER CODE IN YOUR USERNAME WHAT THE FUCK??????????

[coulsonlives]

Is your nazism post related to something things-antis-say said.

Ummm I was really confused by this ask because I don't really look at that blog much lol, but I looked at their latest posts and

???

What the fuck is going on with them, did I miss something?

But no, it wasn't prompted by them, it's a coincidence.. An unfortunate coincidence, it's never good when ppl use dehumanizing words like sub human or degenerate, it doesn't matter how shitty the target is
