“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.

Went on another brilliant Hidden London tour, this time of Baker Street Station. I love these tours because you get to visit parts of the stations that are normally locked away and discover treasures such as 1940s posters​.

Here's a reason why you should fight for inclusive architecture and a more disability friendly world.

I had top surgery a week ago and for a while after the surgery, you can't pick up anything heavy because you risk pulling stitches or damaging the incisions. However, I and my Mom stayed for a week in a hotel near the hospital incase anything happened, so naturally we had a suitcase each.

London is praised for its public transport, however, the underground isn't very accessible and we had quite far to travel to get out of London. Mom thought getting in and out of each underground station would be easy, but most underground stations have step only access, no lifts and I couldn't lift my suitcase.

Every station we had to change at had no lift. Mom had to take her suitcase up/down, leave it unattended, then fetch mine. She was shattered by the end.

This wasn't exactly a massive issue, we managed. But my point is, by having lifts, you not only help those who are physically disabled, but also those who may have had surgery, who may have an injured limb, children, a pram, a suitcase, multiple bags, the list goes on. You help a multitude of people.

Been headcannoning Lars as a Londoner because this is the city where it’s socially unacceptable to exist in the direction of a stranger and I think that fits him very well.

So he’s going to DESPISE the Subway. I’ve heard from people that live there that people make a fair bit of noise on it and actually make eye contact and such, sometimes people even play music on there.

I cannot imagine anything more opposed to the London tubes. They literally ran an ad campaign when I was a kid that basically said “Do not play music without headphones in a crowded tube carriage because not everyone wants to listen to your shitty music, Ethan.” Making eye contact? Unheard of. Forbidden. If you don’t have a phone or a book or a friend to occupy yourself with, you stare at the ads or the floor. That’s just the rules.

I think the first time a stranger makes eye contact with Lars he’s going to feel like living up to the stereotype and stabbing someone.
