He's Very Brutal

Chang for the character ask (if you're still doing that)

(Tumblr decided to only show me this message like 10 days after it was sent, so I can absolutely provide! Tumblr fix your Javascript already)

First impression: My very earliest recollection of Chang is of rewatching the 1991 series in high school, and thinking, "This kid's cheekbones are angular"

Impression now: Chang is a delight! I love his hijinks with Tintin, and I really wish we got to see more of him in the series.

Favourite moment: Probably the scene at the end of Blue Lotus when Tintin is having dinner with Chang, the Wang family, and the Sons. It's a joyous but bittersweet moment where Chang now has a family again, but Tintin has to return to Belgium, leading to Chang saying he has a "rainbow in [his] heart". It's the gayest canon moment in the series and I can't believe it hasn't caught on more.

Idea for a story: Chang integrating with the Wang family. He's lost his family twice before, and it must be difficult to try and get adjusted again...oh man, I just realized he then almost dies in a plane crash months later. He's been through so much. If anyone wanted to make a big hurt/comfort fic, try writing about the series from Chang's perspective

Unpopular opinion: the 1991 series really did Chang dirty. He has less to do in the animated version, and he's suddenly younger and has razor-sharp cheekbones. I wonder if they were trying to make Chang look less like the real-life young Zhang Chongren? That's the only reason I can think of for why they changed his design so much

Favourite relationship: Tintin/Chang; I kinda headcanon them both as asexual, and that they'd be the most ridiculously schmaltzy couple ever

Favourite headcanon: I really like @professorcalculusstanaccount 's take on an older Chang in their Roswell AU...he's got a sort of greaser style too, slick but still fashionable, since the setting is somewhere around the 1950s-60s. It's a very clever take on his character!
