hey not to drop box you like, immediately and before this character even exists but were you thinking about the sweaty t shirt experiment when you created archie bc he kind of reminds me of the sweaty t shirt experiment

(that's the one where people smelled a bunch of sweaty shirts and researchers found that if you had a different MHC allele (which codes for a component of the immune system) from the person their sweat smelled nice to you but if you had the same one it just smelled rank and unfuckable)

I HAVE HEARD OF THAT EXPERIMENT and then forgot about it so it wasn't something I specifically had in mind when writing Archie but THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME. That's precisely the kind of vaguely uncomfortable material I want to reference for this terrible child.

Archie's so lucky he's on a team where being garbage isn't a deal killer.

I love it. The creep in him will never die.

Casper needs to stop being tolerant of Archie immediately.

DON'T FALL FOR IT. He's just easily freaked out by authority figures and all these upperclassmen running to check in on him.

should marie send some FAUX ROMANTIC CHOCOLATES to noel or has archie got that covered? i definitely dont want to make you do all the work lol

(Reply to this)(Thread)

ARCHIE HAS THAT COVERED ♥ I just sat down and did a ton last week doooon't worry. On the other hand, Archie's not very organized so if there are doubles on fake candygrams from multiple sophs... he didn't plan very well.

(Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

Hey I'm sorry that Nisha is a scourge on all of Archie's posts.

(Reply to this)(Thread)

No he adores her so much and this is a fantastic, enlightening conversation.

(Reply to this)(Parent)

I added a ward to Archie in Lucas' post here. :] Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know.

(Reply to this)(Thread)

AH THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW, I was absorbed in non-internet stuff but I'll be with you soon ♥

Cam............ you're a gift. Thank you for supporting my worst child.

that REMINDS ME

i was going to ask what your thoughts might be re: panda going heart eyes at archie for the amortentia experiment??

i doubt she'd be extremely performative about it or anything -- like she wouldn't launch herself at him exactly -- but i was talking to katie about it & had this image of her just like crying over how he takes notes, haha

but of course, nooo worries if not c:

(Reply to this)(Thread)

OH YES that would be so cute. Archie would be a little terrified but at least he can justify IT'S FOR SCIENCE so he won't bolt like a loser.

(Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

HEY I also had Archie on a list of potential ppl for Tally to ~fall~ for during the Amortentia plot but I see Panda's gonna crush on Archie too. I can pick someone else... but also it'd be kind of funny if Archie's potion backfired and made all his awful tiny girl friends fall in love with him maybe??

(Reply to this)(Thread)

IF YOU GUYS ARE UP FOR IT I'M UP FOR IT. He'll be soooo.... something.I agree it'd be funny, and it'd give me a chance to push Archie out of his comfort zone.

(Reply to this)(Parent)

Hey I love Archie a lot.

He's 99% baggage but thank you.

(Reply to this)(Parent)

Hey, so I just had.......what might be one of the worst ideas I've ever had. But I wanted to tell you because it made me laugh and I have no shame. I thought it'd be funny if Nisha recruited Archie to do the romantic tea with her so she can WIN A CROWN (and show up her brother) and they dosed themselves with Amortentia before hand to REALLY SELL IT as "authentic".

This is a bad idea. And I would not presume that you would actually want to do something this pot stir-y. But I thought it was funny and wanted to share.

(Reply to this)(Thread)

oh my GOD

That sounds like exactly the kind of terrible idea Archie would be in for. He doesn't need to be weird about romance stuff if he can blame it on the potion!!!

(Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

SORRY

(Reply to this)(Thread)

NEVER APOLOGIZE, I love Cash from the bottom of my heart.

Archie is just having to face the discomfort of "did my thoughtless callousness result in someone I like being unhappy?" again.

(Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

Just so you are not blindsided Nisha is totally going to blindside Archie with questions about how his family stuff is going here

(Reply to this)(Thread)

Ahhhhhhh ok excitiiiing time to put on some sad plinky psuedo-Victorian goth music to get into an Archie serious mood

Spamz ur Dropbox

Hey I know you have been busy and exhausted and not feeling well (and I hope you're feeling better soon), so all of this is said with 100% no pressure. I love our wee eccentrics and their closet thread and will keep hitting it unto completion if you are up for it, but just in case I wanted to let you know that Nisha def would've tried to smooch that boy (because she really wants to, she's drunk and who can resist those sweater vests) and probably had a bunch of messy live wire feelings about it/him. I'm hype to keep going but if it's not in the cards we can just talk out what happened, too!

(Reply to this)(Thread)

Luv u in my dropbox

OH MY GOD NISHA go for what you want girl. I'm definitely planning on continuing to tag that but obviously I'm a liiiiittle sluggish right now. So it's good to talk about it!!! Unfortunately Archie is Very Stupid and while at the time he kissed back, he's probably been.... extremely skittish since??? This evening I might make him ward people like HELP. KISSED BY ATTRACTIVE GIRL. PLS ADVISE ON PROPER HUMAN REACTIONS TO KISSES. EXPERIENCING 4 DAY LONG PANIC ATTACK OVER IT.

Ari: His alibi is I hate him and I'm saying he didn't do it

(Reply to this)(Thread)

Ari not letting Archie hang even though she hates him is character development.

(Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread)

My brain has been mush lately and I forgot to make a gift post for what Nisha got Archie over break. It's a few small bottles from the potions tent at Circus Nox. Mostly they were picked based on what bottles she thought were pretty, but she was sure to include 2 different non-amortentia love potions (that may or may not just be snake oil) for him to fiddle with and there's probably like a random "this'll cure all your aches and pains" thing and some sort of "make you smarter/more beautiful/more energetic" potion in there, too.

4 little bottles, total. Fancy little things like this and this

God I love these awful children.
