#train to london

[stars-in-my-damn-eyes]

Unfortunately as someone who needs to take trains in england i cannot be a dedicated máv hater and am in fact a máv defender. A máv lover, if you will. Yes in hungary trains are old shit gross unreliablr unpleasant crowded & lame. But they are old shit gross unreliable unpleasant crowded & lame for 2000 huf a journey. In the UK the trains are slightly less old but equally shit gross unrealiable unpelasant crowded & lame & it's for £50 a trip. For 2000 huf the máv ellenőr could beat me up with a stick and i'd still say thank you for your service king i love you. Also máv has a discount for people 18-25 greater than what is offered in the UK and in the UK you have to buy the railcard for £30/yr to access it too.

“You see, Tintin, Londoners are a particularly miserable subspecies of Englishman. Subterranean, anti-social, you could kill one with eye contact alone-”

“Captain, now is really not the time.”

It’s 1940. London is getting firebombed by Nazis. For the past few years Tintin and Chang have been out of work, having been outed as a couple by the press. They have spent some time travelling around with an ageing Captain Haddock to foil various fascist plots. Upon hearing about the bombing runs on London they go up to check on Chang’s uncle, who has an antique shop in Limehouse.

More story details under the Read More. Let me know if there’s anything you wish for me to tag, cw for mentions of racism:

Chang’s London cousins have since been evacuated to Kent. While trying to get what remains of Mr Wong’s possessions together they run into one of them, the boisterous Wendy Wong. She ran away from her countryside guardians back to London, revealing to have suffered a lot of racial abuse. Being the bravest of her siblings, she and her siblings planned for her to go back to London to find their dad. She’s distraught at her home’s destruction and feels frustrated and powerless. Her father is less than thrilled, and demands Chang take her back up to Kent. 

Tintin is really trying his best to help Mr Wong and get on his good side, knowing full well he doesn’t approve of him and Chang. While searching through rubble Haddock gets talking to some community organisers and learns about locals planning on using the local Underground stations as shelters and agrees to help. One evening he stumbles across a disused service tunnel and overhears some German spies discussing suspicious plans.

Tintin offers to escort Wendy to Kent. A worried Captain Haddock informs Tintin of what he witnessed last night. Wendy overhears and wants to help, wishing to be a hero like Tintin and Chang, and emboldened by a sense of responsibility for her home. Chang, having previously lost family members to war, is sympathetic to her and believes she should be allowed to help. Tintin is reluctant to let Mr Wong down. Haddock feels like he’s herding cats.

TL;DR: Trains! Anti fascism! A story about finding common ground to fight back against nazis.

listen, I'll speak my truth

all the 'colin is meant to give you the ick in the first episode' and 'he's not supposed to be likeable' crowd and I genuinely think the 'ick' came from people only wanting Colin to be flirty with Pen and so the fact that he entertained anyone else was what made people unhappy about it. but I cannot relate. yes, he's not being fully himself, yes he's putting on a persona, but you know what? that persona was still attractive! *I* liked him!!! *I* was that debutante taking her glove off with her teeth giggling and twirling my hair. I do not careeeeee. I was salivating over the first brothel scene. Shit was hot. You can all fight me.

"High-speed trains around France were hit by several “malicious acts” Friday that heavily disrupted traffic on the day of the high-risk opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, according to the national rail company SNCF."

"Government officials denounced the incidents hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, which are happening around France, though there was no immediate sign of a link to the Games.

National police said authorities are investigating what happened. French media reported a big fire on a busy western route."
