For the request, maybe Tintin and Snowy having a little spa day together at home? (If you can’t, I totally understand 👍)

I need this right now-

Happy (belated) birthday to the disasters! Their birthdays are one day apart so they have one party and cut the cake at midnight!

I like to imagine tintin needing to put a flag on snowy in the winter; he camouflages a little too well in snow

a ton of deliberately vaguely worded information on tintin "entering the public domain in 2025" is being reported by media outlets so just to make sure we're all on the same page -

the tintin that will enter the public domain in 2025 is specifically this iteration of him from land of the soviets.

in america, copyright expires after 95 years - tintin in the land of the soviets was published in 1929. so you can do the math on that. however, any official material to do with tintin published after 1929 is still copyrighted. you're not allowed to do anything with characters like captain haddock or professor calculus given that they weren't introduced until much later. nor are you even allowed to depict tintin wearing his iconic blue jumper or plus fours!

last but not least, this only applies in america - in belgium, tintin's home country, as well as the rest of europe, copyright lasts for 70 years after the death of the creator. this means that tintin himself as a character won't be public domain until 2053! we sadly have a long time to go.

According to this article Tintin won’t become public property until 70 years after the 1983 death of his creator. So if my calculations are correct Tintin fully enters the public domain in 2094.

tintin ship drama is quite silly to me really because what is there to argue about? the karaboudjan is clearly the best ship by far it's not even a competition.

I think we don't talk enough about what a fashion-monger he is...

a scene from the fanfic "Last Night in Bagghar" by @tintinology I love this fanfic so much!! the pining melts my heart🥹💖💖 I will quote the part that inspired me to draw this: "Haddock tentatively offered him a smile in return, and Tintin suddenly looked away. In the low light of the desk lamp, it almost seemed to him that Tintin's cheeks were a shade darker than usual. He watched him push himself off the desk and fiddle with the sleeves of his shirt, still avoiding Haddock’s gaze. “I-I better get going to my room. It’s pretty late, and our flight is in the morning.”

Read it here! 💖💖💖

"Captain Bangkok, I am slowly getting the feeling that you don't like my singing!"

"But no, Madame Cartoffoli. You have the perfect voice for a silent movie."

Happy Fanfic Writers Appreciation Day! 🥳

What's something you love to read in fics that you tried to capture in your own?

Thanks!! And happy fanfic writers appreciation day to you too!! 💕💕

Oooh that's a tough question, I think my favourite thing is that moment when a character realizes that they're in love with the other or that their feelings are mutual, like that little "oh" moment. When it's really well done there's an absolutely delicious buildup to it that makes the moment of realization so much sweeter. I've tried capturing that in some of my fics (Last Night in Bagghar and Rescue, among others), though I'm not sure I'm the best person to judge whether I've been successful at it 😅

[tintinology]

I think we need more of this beautiful man.
