Why not smear cow poop over it? (Use throwaway gloves while doing so, and burn them after).

Hmm, actually let me look for that movie. In what scene exactly does Tintin’s passport get shown?
Edit: found it! About halfway through, when (spoilers)
Tap for spoiler
the passport gets stolen, near the start of the second half of the movie.
In there, it says 1929, indeed. More extensive research here.
TL:DR; below.
Hergé actually never mentions his age explicitly, he said he’d guess him as being 14/15, but he later said he thought of him as about 17.
Halfway through the movie “The Secret of the Unicorn” from 1991, Tintin’s passport is shown, saying he’s born in 1929.
Let’s assume the passport is right. Tintin’s adventures starts with a visit to the USSR. Stalin, Lenin, and Trotsky are mentioned in unison, as well the Red Army (founded in 1918). He wears a knickerboxer in there. Plus fours were commonly worn after 17 years of age, when they then replaced the knickerboxer; Tintin wears the latter during most albums after the Soviet adventure. So, Tintin might be 14 in the start of his adventures, which would place it as starting in 1943 at its earliest.
The second adventure, i.e. the one in Africa, precedes Congolese independence (1960). When, is not mentioned; but Tintin wears a pith helmet, which became uncommon in Francophone African colonies by 1955, so I would estimate that adventure to take place between 1943-1955. Tintin drives a T-ford in there, which stopped selling in 1927; but those could have been maintained for a few decades.
One issue is that Al Capone occurs in there (named at page 52); he was released from prison in 1939, and got early treatment for syphilic paresis, yet did gradually deteriorate; by 1946, he had the mind of a 12-year-old kid, and he died in 1947.
Assuming the second adventure took place after the Soviet one, that places it around 1944-1945. I will assume 1944, since after the war, worldwide people were much more inclined to liberation from colonialism, which we don’t see yet in that cartoon. That makes Tintin 15 in there.
However, a problem rises. In the third album, Tintin in America, 1932 is specifically mentioned, the Depression as well, and Al Capone still reigns supreme. The mafia still occurred in the 1950s, so that part isn’t a problem; but him reigning is. Thus, the movie (made 9 years after Hergé’s death) and the cartoons directly conflate each other. It could be that it was a flashback, and the rest of the cartoon is about him trying to gain back power, and the Depression didn’t end fully until after the war. It is much easier to assume the movie’s passport date is simply wrong.
In the Cigars of the Pharaoh, we don’t find many hints. Tintin escapes in a very particular plane, but what model, I do not know. Perhaps a Fokker?
In the Blue Lotus however, we already get more of a hint; the Japanese invasion is commencing, in 1932. Thus, assuming the movie passport to be wrong, he’d have to be 24 here. So he’s certainly good from then on.
In “Destination: Moon”, album 16, the costumes resemble the first Soviet suit from 1961-63, albeit inflated; and the rocket is V2-like.
In the “Tintin in Tibet”, album 20, the crashed plane depicted seems similar to the Douglas C-47 in the 1956 Kathmandu crash.
In the last fully finished story with the Picaros, Tintin no longer wears a plus four, which fell out of fashion (outside of golfing and niche stuff) in the 1970s; and they drive in a Jonckheere DAF Coach SB 1602, from 1974.
So in a nutshell. Assuming the passport is right, Tintin’s fully written adventures would’ve occured between 1943 and 1974, and he’d have been 45 when those adventures ended (and looks wise, if Hirohiko Araki can barely wrinkle until 60, so could Tintin), and currently be 96 years old.
If we don’t take the passport in the movie as canon, but take Hergé’s word only (and I do), then an indicator is Tintin encountering starvation in the first adventure; that may point to the famine of 1921-22, which affected a large part of the western USSR.
If Tintin is indeed 17, this would place him as being born in about 1906, maybe 1907 - Hergé’s birth year. That would make Tintin currently 118 years old, meaning he most likely died in the 1980s or 1990s; and his adventures would’ve taken place between 1922-1974, starting when he was 14, and ending when he was 67.
In a nutshell: Tintin would be fine after the fourth album.
FORGIVE ME FOR ALL HARM I CAUSED. NONE MAY ATONE FOR MY SINS BUT ME, IN WHERE THEY RESIDE. THANKS FOR CATCHIN' ME IN TIME. I'M ALL SORRY.
In short;
“equal rights except i’m dependent on cretin billionnaires and so i don’t do shit”.
FYI might be worth putting up a NSFW spoiler tag. That said, historically accurate meme woohoo!
Seiðr, feminine one included, was practised by Odin, and vǫlvas, which were almost always women, had enormous respect. Priesthood was primarily a female affair, but I wouldn’t be surprised if mingling occurred.
A myth is that “effeminacy” in those cultures is frowned upon; instead, it is a lack of courage, to be yourself, that the earlier Germanic cultures derided heavily.
And so, Thor dressing as a gal, and Loki transforming into one, is actually super brave. The sages describe it more humorously, even, rather than insultingly.
But that’s the thing. Tate isn’t a success story.
How is someone who beats wives and rapes children alike a success story? Applies to both.
How is someone a success story, when they get into crippling debt and can’t even get their dick up, yet claim to be the perfect image of a virile guy?
For me, as one of those “success stories”, true success lies in empathy and respect. Hard work must be used to give back to society, and whoever gives not back, must be respectfully shunned and made to give back, until they reach out and ask for help; and then answer is given in the form of unionising, protesting against oligarchies trying to break down mental health facilities, protesting against hatred that must fail to divide us.
Types that may seem beyond saving, I think can be saved; if they radicalised once, they can deradicalise once again. But it does require effort.

1·3 months agoTrump’s a fascist child fucker billionnaire.
There are billions of other options and he’s the worst. He IS a criminal cartel ring.
The only truth is that from the Jacobin.
You probably are a highly un-American Russian bot alt. Please, go spend your time better and mow some grass, grow a garden, be compassionate. A real patriot is kind, instead of being weak and filled with hatred.
Ahh, nothing as healing as a fascist getting what he fucking deserved. The best of course would’ve been for him to see the error of his ways, and renounce his hatred. But hey, oh well.
Fuck the British government
Fuck Tories, Reform and Labour
mrrp rmrrrp rmrrrrp :3

Grindr is one big flesh market, honestly. It’s a 10/90 gamble, 90% dick pics and 10% the occassional deep … discussions.
Share it also with others and tell them to likewise share!
proud of u :3
That is very mature to realise, honestly. Can commend that.
Hang on, what’s going on over there?
2 weeks and I already had it. I suppose I’m speedrunning it…
