I'll just leave this here.
Art Zone
Personal Zone
Misc. Zone
This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
I get really busy and don't get around to thanking folks for +Faving my pictures and I feel like a lazy ass! (Psst - don't ever feel obligated to thank me for a +Fav! I'm fine without it! :3 )
So, a big grateful thank you to everyone who's +Faved any of my work! Glad I pleased my fellow Deviants. :>
Indeed. I'm of the more conservative/Michael Farr persuasion, insofar as I am convinced that Herge meant for them to be friends, and only friends.
In the past, I have had a hard time with some who disagreed with me on that and saw a homoerotic slant to it all, mainly because they tended to belittle my "simple" reading of the books. They became so wrapped up in the myriad conspiracy theories that they completely lost perspective. They forgot that the discussion was about a bunch of children's books written before any of us were in diapers, much less out of them.
From your gallery and other items, it seems that you are more light-hearted and laissez-faire about the issue, and I thank you for that.
I welcome most interpretations of the stories and can certainly appreciate the more conservative view. I just think in the back of my head that it'd be awfully sweet if a lonesome old sailor who nearly drank himself dead was given not only a reason to live and assurance of his worth by some stranger tumbling onto his head out of nowhere (who really had more important worries weighing upon him at the moment, no?), but that he might find a little tenderness from someone who really, truly has seen him at his worst and respects him anyway. I'd see it more as cute than anything, especially given Tintin's outright asexuality. It doesn't seem fitting to me, given the tone of the books, to have a sweeping, epic romance that tinges every page with a bodice-ripping subtext, fun as that might be.
Redemption for Haddock truly came in the form of a diminutive boy with the spark of goodness in him, be it romantic or simply platonic. Eh... sorry for the rant!
