Honestly mildly obsessed with this Tintin for idea that's just floating around my head that's also me projecting onto him

I have a headcannon that Tintin's mother was blind due to a genetic condition called retinitis pigmentosa, where the cells in the back of the eyes slowly die off until, in some cases, you're completely blind. Most cases however have some form of central vision remaining.

Anyway thinking about Tintin moving into Marlinspike with Haddock and Calculus and they're all learning new things about each other, and one night they all hear a noise and Tintin comes stumbling down the stairs with glasses and a torch, even though it's a full moon and there's plenty of light. Haddock soon discovers that Tintin has an astigmatism and has simply been wearing contacts everywhere because heaven knows what his enemies would do if they discovered his eyes weren't perfectly functional-

Anyway a couple of years pass, not much happens except for Tintin changing glasses every now and then and also getting a pair of sunglasses "to protect my eyes from the bright sun, Captain. Just a simple safety precaution, that's all." No one really says anything about Tintin and his eyes, (Haddock made a couple of jabs when Tintin tripped over the carpet, which only earnt him a withering look,) until Haddock noticed a book on Tintin's desk one morning.

A book for learning Braille.

Now, Tintin's eyes were far from perfect, but surely he didn't need to learn Braille??? Haddock brings up his concerns later and surprisingly, Tintin responds rather quickly. "I may not need it now, Captain, but the future holds many uncertainties that we can only guess."

Haddock shrugs it off, but a few days later he and Tintin are walking across the estate at night under the moonlight. Haddock jabbers on about the different constellations he points to, talking about how they guide sailors across vast spanses of seas. Tintin, meanwhile, seems to be more interested in the ground.

"Goodness, lad, what's so interesting about the grass?"

"It would be more interesting if I could see it, Captain."

"What do you mean, you can't see it?"

They both stop. Tintin sighs, staring up at the sky. "Are there many stars tonight?"

"Of course! There's not a cloud in the sky... can't you see them either?"

"I see Venus, faintly... and I think Mars over there."

"What is going on with your eyes, laddie?"

"I have no night vision left, Captain. I can't see anything past sunset."

Silence. Not a word spoken, only the gentle breathing of the Earth.

"That doesn't sound normal, Tintin."

"I know."

"Have you seen an eye doctor?"

"I've seen an optometrist and an ophthalmologist, Captain."

"And?"

"There's nothing we can do." A pause. "We can only wait for the inevitable and enjoy what we have left."

It hits the Captain harder than a ton of bricks, harder than any punch or blow. He can't help but stare at the boy's- no, the young man's eyes, like azure crystals twinkling in the night.

"You're going blind?"

A small smile.

"How long have you known?"

"Since I was 14. At least, that was when I received the diagnosis. I think I've always known, deep down. My mother had the same condition, you see. Everyone always told me I had her eyes."

Silence again. The earth let out a breath.

"How long do you have?"

"It's hard to say. Perhaps before I'm 30. Maybe not until I'm 60. Even then, we don't know how much I'll lose."

So calm. So sure. As though he was simply discussing the weather.

"Are you scared?"

"Not anymore. It's life, after all. We have no way of controlling what happens; all we can do is accept and adapt."

"Will it be easy?"

"Heavens, no. But it is possible."

They walked back to the mansion, arms linked and steps slow. As they walked, Haddock couldn't help but think of the young teen who had crawled in through the porthole of his cabin all those years ago. The boy with blazing eyes, unafraid of anything but the future. And now, this young man next to him, so peaceful and sure, was unafraid of anything except the past.

alright so I have decided to write a book about an ace person who still participates in intercourse but also identifies as ace this is to piss off anti ace people and because I wanna

a romance because from what I have read and what I know there aren't many books about ace people who end up in a relationship.

Quick thing....

For those of you kind enough to follow me AND write... I was wondering if you could tage me in your stories when you post them?

I will have to spend less time on tumblr and so... not so much trime scrolling and I don't want to miss something (well I will but...)

Don't worry, it's not for something bad, but, after a discussion with my hubby telling me : "if you want to become an author, go for it" (a very serious discussion about budget and work and... becoming an author), I thought that I really need to spend more time on my writing if I want to finish one story and... well you know how many I have.

Tumblr, and most specifically, you that I follow and love, are very helpful with my writings, when I am stump or when I want to exchange so, no, I am not cutting tumblr. I will just time my time... or something like that.

So.... if you could tag me? That'll be awesome.

And yes. it's awesome my guy is pushing me.

𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 some of my favourite quotes 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊

“Do not fall in love with people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people." - caitlyn siehl

“It's not my responsibility to be beautiful. I'm not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me.” - Warsan Shire

“She wore flowers in her hair and carried magic secrets in her eyes. She spoke to no one. She spent hours on the riverbank. She smoked cigarettes and had midnight swims...” - arundhati roy

“If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.” - masaru emoto

Genuine question here!

Lately I’ve been really into drawing (Especially the turtles from rottmnt) and have found out that it is near impossible to get a good picture of a sketchbook that doesn’t look too grainy, shiny or weird. (If you have tips with this I would appreciate it!)

So I’ve been wondering what drawing apps would be good for a person who has no clue what to do, doesn’t have the right supplies (For Example- A drawing tablet, or pencil) and only has a phone (and possibly a fire tablet?).

What would I use these drawing apps for?

- I would like to make a comic/comics with it

- Character Sheets and Sketches

- Amateur Animation

- Along with stickers/keychains I’ve been wanting to design for months for my Etsy.

Budget- Mainly free. Kinda tight with money. 😅

Also any drawing pens that you would recommend?

What spurred this on?

- I’ve always wanted to get into art but couldn’t really find anything I truly wanted to draw (anatomy has been a struggle and I couldn’t really find a ton of time between life and my writing so I put off this desire to draw or make any sort of comic in favor of things that I could do without much trouble. Rise kind of spurred on some ideas that I definitely didn’t just want to see on a google doc. Hence why I’ve suddenly became very interested in drawing (that and tumblr and all the amazing artists/writers!)

Any and all help is appreciated!!!

I hope you have a good day!! Bye!!

An introduction

Hi!

I'm Jess, a 22-year-old student and Teaching Assistant. I am also a student at the OU.

This blog is just for me to share all sorts of stuff. I will also be writing some fanfiction and sharing some of my poetry.

I love music, movies, TV shows such as Taylor Swift, Harry Potter, Brooklyn Nine Nine, House MD, Sherlock, Dr Who, Twilight, Dead Poets Society and How To Get Away With Murder to name a few haha. I doubt I’ll write for all of this but feel free to request anything for them.

I do hope to have a more thought-out posting schedule soon but for now, it'll be as and when for original content at least, but I hope to post at least once or a week or so

Everyone is welcome here and I will keep asks, submissions and DMs open and welcomed at all times. Just don't be rude.

I have tipping available if you enjoy my writing and content and want to help me buy a coffee for each of my writing sessions but there's absolutely no expectation or pressure of course!

Six Sentance Sunday (It's Tuesday but oh well)

I was tagged by the fabulous @tintinology (cue me fangirling slightly) to post 6 lines (or 6 sentences in my case) of my current WIP :D

Another station pulled up, signalling to a handful of the children that their journey had finished. In a frenzy of chatter and giggles, they grabbed their suitcases and jumped off, tags fluttering from their coats. Tintin looked down at his own tag looped neatly in his buttonhole. Tintin. Last name unknown. DOB: 10th(?) January, 1929. Skeldale House, Darrowby. His gaze drifted back to the hills, staring blankly at the black and white smudges of cows. Skeldale House. It sounded like an orphanage. Or some kind of children's home.

Ok so I went over but SHHHH

I tag (with no pressure): @kaslynspeaks @friendofthefellowshipsnerdblog

Do you ever just like... fantasize about your novel? I don’t mean Worldbuilding™. I mean lying in bed, wide ass awake at 11:17 PM just daydreaming about how people will react to your book. Good and bad reactions.

I just did this for the past twenty minutes while listening to music and trying to wind down. Ah, but I was foolish. I put on the playlist I made specifically for my novel, and now I just want to write it and get people to enjoy and/or despise it.

Seriously, I imagined an entire video essay made up by a nonexistent creator on YouTube, discussing the good and bad parts of my nonexistent novel and I could hear their voice in my head and everything.

Is... Is this how it feels to be a real author™? Or is this just my fanfiction author self leaking into my ear while I try to sleep? Idk and frankly I don’t care either. I just wanna write now-

But like-

I promise I have perfectly valid reasons why I’m not. Such as, uhh, I haven’t, err-

I haven’t planned the novel yet-

So my first OC is Corbin.. He doesn't have a last name yet..

He's a 25 years old trans man, but that's not the focus of his story. His favourite food is cheeseburgers and he's going to college to get his master's in history. He's got brown hair and blue eyes tho I haven't decided on his race yet..

Corbin's into cryptids and the supernatural. Loves to read but he hates having bad breath so he always carries gum on him.

Here are a couple pics I found on Pinterest that I feel like they match Corbin. I do not claim these pictures as mg own.

Hello, Writerblr!

Hi everybody! I’m Oishiiwrites, it’s about time I introduce myself to Tumblr after looking for a new app to help boost my writing. I want to learn so much about writing like my idols, so I know this app will help! About me: - You can call me Oishii - She/her - I love writing, baking, dancing, figure skating, drawing, and generally anything in the arts! - My asks are always open and feel free to tag me in anything you think I’d be interested in! - My favorite genres are: Historical Fiction, Historical Murder Thriller, Historical romance, Psychological horror, Smut, dystopian, apocalyptic, and so much more! I don’t have any WIP’s at the moment, but I want to have this here so people can get to know me while I do! I’m thinking of something with a touch of romance and the dynamics I absolutely go LIVID for. I hope you’ll accept me in your care, it is really nice to meet everyone. Here’s to my future friends!
