‘You’ve been so kind to me, and I have to go and spoil it, and be disgusting…’ Chang rolled away from him, curling into a ball.

‘What? No! You’re not disgusting. You mustn’t think that.’ He lifted himself up on one elbow, with no idea what to do, how to comfort Chang, when putting his arms around him would clearly be wrong.

‘I am. You just want to be friends and be healthy and normal and good, and all I want to do is kiss you.’ The last words were muffled by Chang’s hands over his face, but Tintin heard them well enough. His heart gave a great painful kick of excitement and his mouth dropped open.

Out of Curiosity how did Haddock react when he met Allan again at The Gypsum Maw after he resigns from being a Criminal???

Allan completely understands his reaction.

alternate ending, per se, to this scene

Even if it didn't go that perfectly, isn't it a shame you didn't take that last chance?

(This is set in my timeline after the fallout of Blue Lotus, but right before Flight 714 to Sydney...Ras could have very easily pivoted his life into a more humble direction, but he wanted back in the "good life". Unfortunately, it just leads to staying in a decommissioned WWII bunker with a doctor who never went to medical school. It probably wasn't worth it.)

I decided to redraw one of my earliest Tintin fancomics! I've been drawing Tintin fanart for a bit before I started posting online.

I can imagine Tintin having a tumultuous relationship with his editor, hardly ever being in the office and having a very low rate of writing articles. Tintin's increasingly liberal politics also clash with the newspaper's conservative values. Tintin and his editor frequently argue over this but Tintin almost always wins out, as he is aware that it is his articles that sell the paper. His editor is reluctant to let go of his golden goose.

More headcanon under the Read More! It's background stuff and things about his editor.

Tintin started his journalism career at just 14, and seeing the dangerous situations he is sent into in his early stories suggests to me that whoever hired him didn't have his best interests at heart. I can imagine his editor taking advantage of Tintin's ambition and naivety, while styling himself as a sort of father figure to the newspaper he runs. I based him off of the editor we see at the very start of Tintin in the Land of the Soviets!

His editor hires him after Tintin demonstrates remarkable skills in investigative journalism, uncovering local corruption for his school paper. He takes advantage of Tintin's naivety, sending him off to various countries to write conservative propaganda pieces for the paper. He hopes Tintin will be easy to groom into a conservative pundit, but after witnessing atrocities and coming into contact with people from different walks of life, Tintin finds himself unlearning a lot of harmful beliefs he was raised with. After he earns global recognition in Tintin in America, Tintin leverages his star power to ensure less editorial interference with his work. His journey away from conservatism is kickstarted upon befriending Chang, who directly challenges a lot of his preconceptions.

Tintin stays with the paper under the misguided belief that he can steer the publication in a better direction with his influence. Deep down he also feels he owes his editor, as it was him who gave Tintin a platform and an oppurtunity to escape his situation, being raised in an orphanage and being deeply unhappy in school. His editor also frequently points out that other papers will not be as lenient with his low turnover rate of articles, and that he's lucky he's still with them.

After Tintin gets Chang a job there as his photographer, Chang ends up befriending a lot of the staff. He's one of the few non white staff members there, which causes quite the stir. While Chang is grateful for the job, he becomes increasingly uncomfortable with working for them the more he learns about the paper. He tells Tintin that by staying there, he's only legitimising the publication.

Tensions at the paper start rising as political tension rises in Europe. Tintin, Chang, and a lot of staff notice their editor acting erratically and making strange demands...
