Whenever I think about how Kars is floating in space somewhere. and how Diavolo is stuck in his deathloop. I alway feel a little bit sad for them.
(Only a little bit, both of them were awful people)

Princess Alexandra of Denmark, July 1862 (x)
When Albert saw a photograph of Alexandra, he declared, ‘From that photograph I would marry her at once.’ She was evidently ‘a pearl not to be lost’, and the royal parents now became desperate to bag this treasure for their son. ‘May he only be worthy of such a jewel!’ exclaimed the Queen.’

After finding out that tintin age is between 16-18 i thought
That child literally be driving cars and crashing airplanes since age 3
A little while back, in my bande dessinée Discord server, we sat down and watched The Adventures of Tintin (2011), directed by Stephen Spielberg. I’ve formulated some thoughts based on our collective response to Haddock’s portrayal.

She is Cleopatra.
Contrary to popular belief, her name is not Egyptian, but Greek.
It means “father’s glory,” in the sense of “glorious lineage” (from the greek , κλέος, kleos, “glory,” and πατρός, patros, “of the father”). Cleopatra isn’t actually Egyptian, but Greco-Macedonian. She belongs to a dynasty of invaders who have occupied the Egyptian throne for almost three hundred years: the Ptolemaic dynasty, with different customs and a different language, Greek. Her full name is Cleopatra Thea Philopator, literally “Cleopatra, the goddess who loves her father” from the greek Θεᾱ́, thea, “goddess,” and Φιλοπάτωρά, philopatora, “who loves her father). Although we perceive her name as unique in history and belonging to an equally unique queen, she was not the only one to be called that. We know of six others preceding her, which is why, to avoid any confusion, modern historians refer to her as Cleopatra VII.
