HOW I MET MONSIER TINTIN?
This is something that I thought of a little while and that is how did Walton's Mom meet Tintin & Captain Haddock? Simple back before she was engaged or even date her future husband she made a pen pal friend in the name of "Agustin" who is describe to live in Belgium. For some past few sending letters to each other if it's often until that faithful time he wrote to her if she would like visit, Coincidentally she went on trip to France with some friends and they met up in a local Café not knowing Agustin is full name for Tintin. He asked if she would stay for the weekends at his home and she agreed, after an hour on train she arrived to it's destination to Marlinspike Hall where she is soon realized that Angie is being introduce to Captain Archibald Haddock & Agustin Prosper Remi themselves... or Tintin for short.

It’s Tintin Day again! And here’s another Disney AU suggestion I couldn’t resist.
I drew everything with familial intentions but interpret as you like! The concept is that the Rackhams cursed the Haddock bloodline after the incident on the Unicorn, so the Captain has been cursed to live as a beast inside an enchanted Marlinspike Hall. And Tintin kicks his way in to uproot everything, of course! :P
#beauty and the beast#disney#the adventures of tintin#tintin#captain haddock#snowy#josie's art#i think we already know who gaston is. the slimy bastard who won't leave tintin ALONE#i slapped this out in like two days lmao my hands hurt. and yes snowy is phillipe but may also be the footstool puppy later; my city now

I'm curious about the eating pick, how would you compare using it to using a fork?
It's a lot more fiddly - stab not scoop - and having used both a pick and a two-tine fork it surprises me that the three-tine fork with less space for things to fall through (or maybe even something like a modern spork) wasn't an immediate next step, rather than taking more than a century to arrive and then, AFAIK, only for fruit.
Medieval food was mostly eaten with knife-spoon-fingers, and the pick (again AFAIK) was used more like a carving-fork, to hold large pieces in place so they could be cut to spoon- or finger-size, than to convey those pieces to the mouth.
The well-researched "Wolf Hall" series shows Tudor table etiquette, eating with a spoon and with right-hand fingers kept clean by using the napkin worn on left shoulder or forearm.
Earlier table manners were similar; there's plenty of reference to hand-washing, napkins and so on.
IMO “The Private Life of Henry VIII” (1933) is probably to blame for the pop-history notion of “historical” dining involving whole chickens pulled apart with both hands and bones thrown over shoulders or onto the floor.
This link is to the full scene on YouTube, where the dialogue proves that it’s being done partly for comedy, and partly to show how nervous Henry made his court.
People in the Middle Ages didn't cut their food with daggers; yes, they'd have worn baselards or rondels or ballock knives because those were part of everyday costume (including women, there's pictorial evidence for it), but they wouldn't have used them at the dinner-table any more than they'd have used a sword.
I wonder sometimes if those who claim daggers were table cutlery know how big a medieval / Renaissance dagger could be, or how out-of-place it would look at a dinner table.
There's plenty of evidence for picks and small eating-knives as personal possessions. Here’s a 14th-century painting and a modern reconstruction of the thing on the belt.
...and another painting, “The Peasant Dance” by Breughel, showing both a big fighting-knife (Messer) and - worn by the red-hosed dancer in the middle - an eating-knife and maybe pick.
The armed man is also showing off (look at his hat!) that he owns a pewter or maybe even silver spoon...
Eating-knife and pick, collectively called "by-tools", could also be slotted into the scabbard of something bigger, such as that Messer in the Breughel painting as recreated by Tod Cutler...
...or a dagger like these Swiss ones...
...whose scabbard ornamentation with human figures proves how they were worn...
- horizontally (usually across the small of the back) so their decoration was right-way-up for proper admiration.
By-tools could be part of even larger weapons, a sword or Kriegsmesser (war-knife) like this one, which belonged to Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I:
Besides holding down or picking up food, a pick had other functions for which a knife with edges wouldn’t work as well such as an auger to drill holes in leather, or a fid or marlinspike for splicing rope or laces.
By the mid-1500s, people on the cutting edge (hah!) of fashion started to carry the ornate version of that little eating-knife-and-pick sheath; they had a “dining trousse”, personal table cutlery with its own separate case or scabbard, and a REALLY stylish trousse might even include the latest toy, a fork.
But that was often regarded as a pointless (hah!) affectation, because after all, everyone had fingers...

I HAVE A TINTIN HEADCANON!
Yes, another...
ANYWAY
At Marlinspike Hall, Nestor is not the only one whobuses the kitchen. Haddock is often find of fixing himself something to each when he's bored, and Calculus s been known to sneak a cheese or five from the refrigerator.
There is one person who is banned from baking in there and that is Tintin.
Sure, Tintin can cook the basics; he can make toast, heat up canned and frozen food, the whatnot.
But Tintin cannot for the life of him bake.
The first time wasn't too disastrous: he tried to make melting moment biscuits but forgot the butter.
The second time, Nestor walked in to two failed batches of cupcake batter dumped in the bin and Tintin frowning at the recipe. Nestor couldn't help but laugh as he explained that Tintin had been reading the recipe in grams, not ounces, to which the boy dropped his head onto the kitchen counter, unaware that his hair was now white with flour.
It got progressively worse until Tintin managed to put blotting paper in bread.
Blotting paper.
In bread.
When asked to explain himself (through hysterics, because Haddock was wetting himself with laughter,) he sheepishly recounted how he forgot about the dough when he left it to rise, so he had put it in the tin and sprayed it with oil so it didn't dry out and left it to rise again. He forgot about it once more, and went to re-knead the dough, but because of the extra oil, in had grown greasy. So, he had gotten some blotting paper, rested it on the dough and, as he told himself to not put the paper into the dough, he pushed the paper into the dough.
From that day on, Tintin was not allowed to bake unless supervised by a more experience adult.
He was not happy about that.
#Based on my own disasters in the kitchen#This is leaving out the burnt rice#And the Anzac biscuits turned apple crumble because I didn't read the recipe#Yes I should not be trusted with anything#tintin#les adventures de tintin#the adventures of tintin#captain haddock#Nestor#Headcannons

With the Spielberg/Jackson sequel becoming less and less likely to ever happen, here's a look at another Tintin movie we could one day have if Moulinsart stops being such a little bitch
English translation under the cut:
The Castafiore Emerald: Patrice Leconte dreams of a "slightly artsy" film in the style of Wes Anderson
In 2020, we learned that the director of Les Bronzés wanted to adapt Tintin to the cinema. More precisely: The Castafiore Emerald. Patrice Leconte swore he had already chosen the interpreters of the singer and Captain Haddock, but very quickly, the question of adaptation rights posed a problem, and the filmmaker finally directed Maigret with Gérard Depardieu.
Just as he releases a book devoted to the Belgian investigator published by Moulinsart Casterman, entitled Tintin de A à Z [Tintin from A to Z] (which takes elements from the famous cover of Emerald as can be seen above), he gives an update on this film, which he still intends to shoot.
"The Castafiore Emerald film project is not completely down the drain, but it's so complicated, what with the rights issues with Paramount and Moulinsart," deplores the filmmaker, relayed by BFMTV [a French national television channel]. "Maybe to calm my impatience, Moulinsart offered me this Tintin primer. They gave me carte blanche."
He then justifies his choice of the only Hergé comic strip taking place entirely at Marlinspike Hall ("I dream of making an adventure film without adventure") and specifies that he already has "the whole film in mind". Quoting the works of Wes Anderson (whose universe sometimes openly refers to the work of Hergé, notably in The Grand Budapest Hotel, where some shots seemed to be taken from his comics), Leconte speaks of a "slightly artsy film": "I will not take the album in my left hand and the camera in my right hand, but I will try to respect everything that the album visually communicates: the fabrics of the Castafiore's outfits, the step that is missing a chunk of marble... I really believe that we can make a film in a ligne claire style [...] We can allow ourselves liberties if they are in the spirit of comics, but otherwise it will be extremely faithful. I want it to be very close in terms of frames, colours, flat tints, absence of shadow."
On the casting side, if he had mentioned actors in 2020 (without quoting them), he no longer talks about them here, simply explaining that he will undoubtedly bet on an unknown actor for the title role: "What will amuse me when I shoot, it's to only have known actors for lines like ‘Hello, is this Mr. Cutts, the butcher?' and that the only unknown actor is Tintin. But I don’t see any known twenty-year-old actors who look like Tintin. I prefer to do a complete casting to find a Tintin." As for Snowy, he assured three years ago: "We will take any pooch, that won’t be a problem."
While he has "the whole film in mind", Patrice Leconte has not yet written his screenplay. He specifies that he wants to team up again with his accomplice Jérôme Tonnerre (Mon meilleur ami, Confidences trop intimes, etc.), but adds in the process: "We are not going to spend three months of our life writing a screenplay if the film never ends up being made. I don't want to get too involved. You can't live too long with fierce hope, because afterwards you can only be disappointed." Finding the process of adapting Tintin "too long", he concludes by saying that he won't do it after his 77th birthday (to respect the saying that Tintin is aimed at readers aged 7 to 77?): "I said that I only had a year and a half left to make the film, because I'm going to be 77, the age limit for enjoying Tintin. It was an irrefutable argument, but it didn't bother them too much."
Finally, evoking all of Hergé's comics in Tintin de A à Z, he proclaims his admiration for the adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg in 2011, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn: "It's the best adaptation of Tintin. Pure Hergé and pure Spielberg. He understood everything. He managed to translate without betraying. I really enjoyed it."
#tbh not sure if this would work#i've said it before and i'll say it again: castafiore emerald works best as a sitcom-type comedy#otherwise people who aren't familiar with tintin won't enjoy it (and might even end up hating it)#but hey any adaptation is better than no adaptation so fingers crossed moulinsart gets their shit together and green-lights this#tintin#the adventures of tintin#the castafiore emerald#french#translation

Wolf Hall, the arrival of Marlinspike.

he’s the adult supervision, he’s the voice of reason, he’s a cringefail king, it’s Captain Haddock! Quite a few people asked for a timeline post for Haddock after I posted one of Tintin.
I found the whole idea of the Haddock family curse to be very interesting, and the implications behind it to be pretty dark... cw for alcoholism and childhood abuse. Let me know if you need anything tagged.
To figure out the timeline the evidence for Haddock’s age I found was in an animated adaptation of Explorers on the Moon where Haddock mentions he has around forty years of sailing experience. I doubt he was running around on ships as a newborn so that places his age during the canon comics at around 60ish, give or take a few years, which in my timeline places his childhood during the late Victorian era!
Left to right, top to bottom:
Child - Archibald Haddock had a pretty rough childhood and family life. The legacy of the “Haddock family curse” weighs heavily on him, and so does the alcoholism that runs generationally. His father is often drunk, taking his anger and frustration out on Archibald. Fully believing the family curse, Archibald’s father drills the idea that he is destined for failure into his head.
Archibald’s only respite is his grandfather, who tells him stories of Sir Francis Haddock and other tall tales from the sea. His grandfather also would take him out on fishing trips, the lochs and the sea being his refuge.
Teenager - It’s the 1880s and Archibald is left aimless after his grandfather passes away, passing the time by hiding from his father and drinking during the day. He fully believes he has no real future and lets himself get swept up by whatever will come along next.
Young Adult - Archibald decides to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and becomes a sailor, feeling at home at sea. He cleans up somewhat after befriending George Chester as the two train on the same merchant vessel. Chester drags a reluctant Archibald along into all kinds of crazy antics, with Archibald wanting to stay on the straight and narrow.
Archibald is drafted during the First World War, serving in the Grand Fleet. He is stationed at the Orkney and Shetland Islands with Chester.
Canon - After the war Archibald relapses on his addiction again, but is able to hold onto work in the merchant fleet. He eventually becomes a captain of a merchant vessel where his mental health issues are taken advantage of in the Crab with the Golden Claws.
Seeing his crew mutiny, kidnap (and attempt to murder) a boy on his ship was a major wake up call - Haddock is now imbued with a sense of responsibility for Tintin (even if Tintin seems to handle things better than Haddock!). He doesn’t understand what Tintin sees in him but he’ll be damned if he proves him wrong. He’s not above calling him an idiot when the time is right though.
Post Canon - After Tintin loses his job Haddock does his best to support him. He uses his wealth to further causes he believes in, donating money to artist collectives and scientific research that was repressed by fascist governments. Before Belgium even joins the Second World War he and the Marlinspike team proactively go out and foil various Nazi plots. Marlinspike Hall is firebombed by the Nazis in retaliation, but after the war Haddock funds various housing cooperative projects. Coming from a working class background he hasn’t forgotten the hardships a lot of people face.
Elderly - At this point Haddock is secure in his found family. He’s been living with his partner Ramo Nash, and has taken up various arts and crafts as hobbies. Looking back, he never expected to be a father, but is incredibly proud of Tintin. He never officially adopts him as a part of him still fears the family curse (plus they both agree “Haddock” as a name definitely does not suit Tintin)!

Here’s the second of my new Tintin OCs.
Meet Elodie Haddock, the daughter of Captain Haddock. She really loves exploring the ocean, and even has dreams of commanding her own ship.
Some more info on Elodie:
Elodie is the only child of Captain Haddock.
She was born on March 21, 1915, during a heavy rainstorm.
Elodie was a very active child, which meant that Haddock had his hands full trying to keep her from getting hurt.
She loves the outdoors, especially exploring large lakes and rivers. In special days, Haddock would take her on fishing trips or to just enjoy the view.
As a kid, Elodie loved hearing her dad tell bedtime stories about her ancestor Sir Francis Haddock. As a matter of fact, Haddock gave her the name Elodie because, to him, she was his most precious treasure.
Sometimes, Haddock would often try to get Elodie to act like a proper young lady. And this often resulted in some hilariously awkward lessons. So Haddock had to find someone to show her.
Which brings me to this: There were times when Elodie sometimes refused to act proper. She never seemed too happy about being told what to wear and how to act. But as a young adult, she got the hang of it.
As a teen, Haddock had left to command a trade ship. He told Elodie he’d always write to her every day, and Elodie never forgot about his promise. She wrote to her dad every day, telling him all about her life back home.
But after some time, Elodie had never gotten a single letter back from Haddock. At that time, she was not aware that Haddock’s ship had been taken over by a crew mate who backstabbed him.
Over time, Elodie went into a brief period of depression, upset that Haddock never wrote back to her, or even sent her a package. Then there was Haddock’s drinking, which made the situation worse.
Even after Haddock had returned home, Elodie still never forgave him for what had happened before. They were estranged from each other for some time.
Up until Haddock had acquired Marlinspike Hall, he and Elodie gradually mended their relationship. Through every hurdle, not to mention Haddock joining Tintin in his adventures, they made it work.
So here she is!

Tintin X Annie Warbucks Headcanons (This Is With The Original "Tintin" Cartoon):
-Are basically around the same age. Tintin's birthday is January 10th, 1914 while Annie's is February 29th, 1913-1914 (her in the comics is so confusing with the research. One source will say she's 10 at the start of the comic and the other source would claim she was 11. And the mention of her being born on a Leap Year doesn't help....).
-They first met in 1933, shortly after "Tintin In America" when both were 19.
-While Tintin is an ENFJ, Annie's an ENFP.
-Pretty much EVERYONE was playing "matchmaker" with these two! Castafiore, Haddock, Warbucks-even Sandy and Snowy!
-While Tintin and Annie were drawn to each other during their first adventure, they didn't get romantically involved until they had met again in 1935 when they were 21-years-old.
-What drove Tintin to Annie was her hard-working attitude, her kind heart and her ability to hold her own in a fight. The complete opposite on what he and Haddock thought the Warbucks heiress would like.
-With Tintin, Annie adored his compassion, his bravery, his love for adventure and his sense of humor.
-The two would marry in 1949. As a result, Tintin and Annie would spend half the time at Marlinspike Hall and the other half at Warbuck's Mansion.
-In 1942, Annie and Tintin would welcome twins; a son and a daughter (their names I'm still trying to come up with...). While the twins would grow up to be philanthropists in their own rights, the son would be either a successful detective or sea captian (like his "Uncle Haddock"). As for the daughter, she'd be a journalist focus on criminal cases.

The sky was dark and overcast, it had been raining heavily these past few weeks in the countryside region of Belgium, but that didn't stop the numerous guests from attending the very important event at hand.
Multiple vehicles littered around the property, people dressed in dark colours whipped out their umbrellas, as they began to exit their cars and make their way towards Marlinspike Hall, seeking shelter from the pouring rain.
The doors were wide open, on each door hung a black ribbon paired with some white lilies and forget-me-nots, to signify the tragedy that has brought them all together. People from different parts of the world, from different statuses of life, came to Marlinspike to give their condolences and grieve over the young life that has been lost.
“He was only 20 years old.” Haddock laments, his tone was eerily calm, which was a little concerning if you knew him, because this man was rarely calm like that, he's usually bursting off the handle with his emotions.
Despite being in a formal suit and having an almost well-kempt appearance, you could tell this man was absolutely crumbling on the inside. The large, dark circles underneath his reddened eyes showed that he hadn't slept for a couple of days, to put it lightly... And the more prominent smell of alcohol on his clothes implied that he's been trying to drink (himself to death) away his grief.
The man's trying his absolute hardest to keep himself together in front of all these people.
He has to, he'd want him to, but it's been getting more and more difficult to do so since they've been referring to him as his son. He doesn't deserve to be called that, what kind of father would let something so horrible happen to their own kid?
And it cost them their life?

What's Marlinspike Hall like when it's raining?
Hi! When it rains, it’s really quite nice (most of the time). We’ve had a lot of it lately, and a few high winds, and it’s got pretty muddy, so that you wouldn’t know it’s supposed to be August. A few roof-tiles got blown down so we had a leak in the roof, directly above the bath in the bathroom the Captain usually uses, which the Captain discovered to his chagrin while he was in the bath! Happily everything is fixed now.
Watching the rain from the warmth is lovely, though, and when the three of us are all in, we pass a bit of uneventful time doing not very much at all.
