"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!

The captain has a huge soft spot for calculus. I'm sure he visits him a lot when gardening. Super cute!

i finally started my tintin stats project, where i go thru each book from soviets to picaros and tally up certain things with the occasional note. im mostly doing it for fanfic, cosplay and headcanon reasons, and was just going to do it and then post my findings book by book but then i thought well. it's kind of a resource, and people might have specific things they want to know.

so far my categories are:

vehicles - what vehicles he travels in, which ones he drives, any crashes

health - when he sleeps, if he snores, if he dreams, if he has nightmares; any injuries and what kinds; any time he loses consciousness and the cause; when he eats and what he eats, what he enjoys eating and what he doesn't; any time he gets drunk

any time he is violent to another person

physical activity - any time he swims, climbs a tree, rides a horse

the law - any time he is arrested (including attempted arrests), imprisoned, sentenced to death, or joins an army

emotions - when he cries and about what; when he laughs and about what; when he gets angry, at whom and why; when he is visibly afraid and of what; when he prays; when he sings or dances

le petit vingtieme - any time he actually writes an article lol

QUIFF DOWN!!! - any time his quiff is down lol. this is kind of a joke one bc this only happens generally if he's soaking wet but also i think its funny any time it happens so its getting tallied

at a later point i'm also going to chart the passage of time across each adventure so i can have a rought idea of how long each story lasts. in a similar vein, i'm also going to chart what clothes he wears and whether he still owns them at the end of the album (sounds weird lol but he goes thru SO many different outfits in soviets just bc people keep blowing him up and wrecking his clothes lmao. and at the end of congo he returns to belgium with only a rifle and the clothes he's wearing). i might later add things like, any time certain characters appear, but im still early on and he doesnt know anyone yet lol

essentially, i just finished doing this for congo, so before i get any further are there any other things people would like to see tallied/noted? i am doing this so u dont have to (:

#disclaimer however that i am only human and i do sometimes miss things #so while it'll be accurate to the best of my ability #there may be times where i miss something or count something wrong #tintin #kuifje #tintin and snowy #the adventures of tintin #milou #snowy #captain haddock #archibald haddock #professor calculus #cuthbert calculus #tryphon tournesol #thomson and thompson #dupont et dupond #tintin stats

I will say, Tintin has its flaws, but having the two eccentric old men sharing a house together and living in comfortable domestic bliss was a move.

i have bought the prettiest bookmarks today

my personal favourites: tintin and the professor dancing and tintin welcoming armstrong

#i saw these in the store today quite by accident #and i nearly screamed #i just had to buy them #the only problem with using these is that the bookmark is probably more interesting than the book itself #pretty!! #tintin #the adventures of tintin #captain haddock #milou #snowy #professor calculus #cuthbert calculus #bookmarks #life frames

[earhartsease]

for some unaccountable reason, Uni reminds me of Professor Cuthbert Calculus

edit: I've remembered why! in Destination, Moon! Calculus falls down a chute in the spaceship and conks himself senseless - Captain Haddock tries to startle his mind back and Cuthbert is just sat there no thoughts, head empty, looking like Uni

if I can excavate the book I'll post a photo

edit edit: yer' tis!

The Wind That Pulls Back the Tide

Rating: T

Warnings: N/A

Status: In-progress (1/?)

Summary: Tintin as the god of the wind believes he’s finally deserving of his independence from Mother Nature. However, after a small mishap, Tintin has set in motion a series of events that could exploit another god’s plot to rule the mortal realm, and he’ll need the help of the mysterious god of the sea if he’s to save the day.

New Chapter: Chapter 2- Meeting of the Gods

The outline of land finally began to stand out against the large expanse of blue. Gods’ meetings had been held in many various so-called ‘neutral’ locations as sometimes it was impossible to be neutral to everyone. Tintin wished several times he had been alive to go to the meeting in Pompeii before it’s eruption, or even see the wonder of Atlantis before it had sank below the sea. Instead, nowadays gods’ meetings took place in an office building in Brussels, Belgium. 

Dipping the current he was riding, Tintin jumped and landed on the roof allowing himself and Chang to appear in their mortal form with Snowy nipping right at their heels. 

“You know I was thinking about it, Tintin. Maybe we’re not in as much trouble as we think we are. I’m sure they’ve gotten the cargo ship sorted out by this point!” Chang stated as they rode the elevator down to the right floor. 

They stepped out into the large lecture-style conference hall with every large screen TV blaring the same story.

“And the Karaboudjan still remains trapped, blocking one of the largest canals in the world. To make the story even more devastating, the people of the region who have come to rely on the river’s waters, will not have access until the ship is moved and the dam holding back the river is released. With more insight into the bizarre wind storm that caused this atrocity, we have Professor Cuthbert Calculus on the phone from where he is doing data research in the area. Tell us Professor…”

As soon as they fully entered the room, Chang and Tintin became the center of attention with various stages of dismay and sneers. 

“You know, or probably not.” Chang muttered to himself.

Re: Cuthbert Calculus/Tryphon Tournesol:

“Professor Sunflower” sure does sound like a Pokémon professor to me.

Hergé (Belgian, May 22, 1907 - March 3, 1983)

Belgian author and artist, 1907-1983. Translated into over thirty languages, Hergé’s adventure stories about the brave and resourceful young reporter Tintin are popular with both children and adults throughout the world In twenty-four book-length comic strips, Tintin and his faithful fox terrier, Snowy, embark on a series of thrilling global adventures set in remarkably detailed, meticulously researched landscapes.

Hergé. whose real name is Georges Remi (he devised his pen name by inverting his initials to R.G.), pub­lished the first Tintin adventure in Le Petit Vingtième, the children’s supplement to Le Vingtieme Siecle, in 1929. Published in book form in 1930 as Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, this primitive work is the only one of the series that was not later translated into color, with the exception of Tintin and the Alpha-Art, a work unfin­ished when Herge died and left in sketch form at his request.

The second adventure, Tintin in the Congo (1931), reflects a contemporary European view of Africa based on ignorance and portrays the African people as gullible and naive. Neither Congo nor the fanatically anti-Communist Soviets has yet been published in the United States.

In Tintin in America (1932), Tintin takes on Chicago mobster Al Capone, and Hergé’s sociopolitical satire becomes more sophisticated as he depicts the National Guard driving the Blackfoot Indians away from their ancestral lands. But it is probably The Blue Lotus (1936) that marks Hergé’s refinement of detail and concern for accuracy.

After befriending a young Chinese student who urged him to avoid common stereotypes, Hergé began to delve further into research of the physical and cultural landscape. The story is a clear protest of Japa­nese expansionism on the Chinese mainland and of the treatment of the Chinese people by many Westerners. Hergé’s friend appears as young Chang in The Blue Lotus and later in Tintin in Tibet (i960), a story of true friendship Hergé claims as his favorite.

Ostensibly a journalist, Tintin is seen reporting to his editor only once in the series and follows his sense of adventure and justice rather than any particular assign­ment. In the course of his adventures he encounters a colorful cast of characters who become his cohorts: The bumbling, ineffectual detectives Thompson and Thom­son, the rough old sea dog Captain Haddock with his legendary penchant for drinking whiskey and hurling passionate but innocent insults, and the absent-minded but ingenious Professor Cuthbert Calculus provide both help and hindrance throughout Tintin’s travels.

All of these characters find their way aboard the first manned rocket bound, for the moon in Destination Moon (1953) and Explorers on the Moon (1954), in which Tintin, Snowy Captain Haddock, and Thompson and Thomson set foot on the moon fifteen years before Neil Armstrong landed in Apollo 11.

Hergé constructed a detailed scale model of a German U2 rocket to create the drawings, and his extensive scientific research gives the books remarkable accuracy and foresight. While most of the Tintin stories are noticeably devoid of women, opera singer Bianca Castafiore takes center stage as a strong female character in The Castafiore Emerald (1963).

Charles de Gaulle once remarked, “My only interna­tional rival is Tintin.”
