#archibald reid

[fancygeorgejones]

I’m starting a collection of bisexual romance-able npcs who are healers and also have manifestos. If I had a nickel etc.

[agniyagrif]

I don't tHink... tHere are any spoilers Here... "WHen you cHoose romance novel over murder mistery" or tHe crime against Humanity I perfomed in my game. I'm sure someday I'll manage to solve tHe case, because I really like ArcHie( sucH a sunsHine( He deserves better tHan tHis... BUT ALSO IT'S REALLY FUNNY

[jane-d-ankh-veos]

Elaborating some more on this and that:

As I see it: Archie is nice, innocuous and idealistic to the point of naivety, while May kind of assumes the classic role of a devious alluring mysterious stranger who tempts this ingénue with a forbidden fruit of knowledge (of Archie's true past) and dangerous revolutionary schemes, eventually leading him into the Calendar Council. (Bonus points for May being a supernatural ancient immortal aristocrat full of torment and passions and villainous inclinations, fitting this gothic trope perfectly...)

(...and Harjit, of course, completes the triangle as a righteous hero who wants to protect his true love from this suspicious dark influence.)

Reimagining of archetypal scenarios is such a delight. Especially with gender inversions. Especially when temptation is something other than romance. And when "corruption" turns out to be beneficial guidance (yet still being deliciously perilous and illicit).

Also last year I've written a whole fic about them and this dynamic, although haven't translated it into english yet. But... hmm... maybe I should, if at least someone would be interested...

[hellhoundmaggie]

Archie reminds Effie of her little brother Benedict. Archie has auburn hair. Benny had auburn hair.

Archie is a big-time science and medicine guy. Benny was a budding naturalist.

Archie wants to defy the Masters’ regime. Benny chafed under his parents’ and tutors’ authority.

If Archie can’t beat the murder charge, he must die by hanging. Benny died of diphtheria, which attacks the throat and causes the patient to suffocate.

Effie couldn’t save Benny. She has to save Archie.

Archibald "Archie" Reid

A taciturn gentleman with a heart of gold, Archie probably ended up in the completely wrong career path. Sure, he finds it easy to enforce company policies he agrees with, but when it comes to refusing people raises or leave, his employers would say he's a bit too... Soft.

Despite his cheery and friendly demeanour, Archie finds himself with very few friends. He is one of the oldest employees at a data broker company masquerading as a super cool IT pioneer - a company that attracts 20 somethings en masse. As such, he has an incredibly difficult time fitting in, and that's ignoring the fact that he finds a lot of social interaction stressful and overwhelming. And besides, it's very hard to find someone who is happy to listen to an old man ramble about his passions. Or his child's death. Or how desperately he wants people to pay for her death. But hey, that's a story for another time...

[ladymischievous]

Repostober Fic Collection

Not art, but writing instead. Here's links to a few of my works that I am particularly proud of from over the years:

Mask of the Rose/Fallen London

Dreams of Home

Archibald Reid had finally returned to the surface. He hadn’t realized just how much he had changed. There was a time where he wanted nothing more than the sun and returning to Glasgow. But now, he found himself a stranger to all the things he once found familiar. Archie tries to find solace in his dreams. WARNING: This fic contains spoilers for the 'Baptism' ending of Mask of the Rose.

World of Warcraft

A Twist of Fate

Type: Alternate Timeline, Did a lot of mixing of lore sources from things like 'The Last Guardian, The Movie, WoW, and Hearthstone's One Night in Karazhan to make this.

Warnings: In later chapters there's a bit of horror and psychological horror. This is a character study and exploration of both Khadgar and Medivh.

Main Characters: Khadgar and Medivh

Pairings: RavenTrust (Friendship and eventually romance (not there yet currently)

Curiosity was considered both a valuable trait and horrible vice of mages. It was his own curiosity that got Khadgar shipped off from the only home he had known.

AU Snippet: Dark Deals

Type: Modern!AU, Snippet based off an old RP

Main Characters: Medivh and Kel'Thuzad

Pairings: Kel'Thuzad/Medivh, hinted RavenTrust

Warnings: Spiders, Dubious Consent

Modern!AU. A crime intertwines the worlds of humans and of magic and mages. To help Lothar and protect Khadgar, Medivh must pay a visit to the dark underbelly of his world. Important Note: This is a snippet I adapted a scene from a past RP I did with a friend. I took it and adapted it into a oneshot as a writing exercise.

The Dragon Prince and the Recluse

Main Characters: Medivh and Wrathion

Pairings: Mentioned Hinted Raventrust, (Once I continue an) eventual friendship with Wrathion and Medivh.

It took a bit of work on Khadgar's part to convince Medivh to let the 'dragon prince' stay in his home. Wrathion isn't sure what to make of Karazhan, the ghosts within, or her reclusive master. He heard stories of Medivh, a guardian of Azaroth who fell from grace. Even his father was quite wary of the mage yet Wrathion is far from impressed. A Guardian is meant to protect Azeroth, not lock themself away in self-exile.

Dark Eyes Over Stormwind Keep

Pairings: Wrathion/Anduin, Wrathion & Medivh (friendship)

Warnings: Mild Body Horror

Haunted in his dreams, Anduin teeters on the line between light and shadow.

My Hero Academia

Heroes are for Fiction

Type: Writer!AU

Warnings: This one I wrote when I was in a particularly dark place. Feelings of depression and suicidal ideation. It was a theraputic bit of writing for me as I was navigating heavy emotions at the time.

Main Characters: Toshinori Yagi, Inko Midoriya, Izuku Midoriya

Pairings & Relationships: Inko/Toshinori, Izuku & Toshinori (Fatherly bond)

After a devastating personal tragedy, author Toshinori withdraws into loneliness and depression--at least until a face from his past comes back to remind him that heroes are not just for the fiction he writes.

[scotianostra]

Dugald Stewart the noted Scottish mathematician and philosopher was born on November 22nd 1753 in Edinburgh.

Dugald Stewart  was a Scottish philosopher and mathematician. Today regarded as one of the most important figures of the later Scottish Enlightenment. 

The Scottish Enlightenment began in the mid 18th century and continued for the best part of a century. It marked a major shift from religion into reason. Religion had been influential in every part of Scottish life. A little over a hundred years before it resulted in a war between the Royalists and covenanters causing countless deaths in period known as the killing time, indeed during the Enlightenment the strict Calvinists Government meant some people were punished for crimes such as blasphemy.

Dugald’s father was a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, his mother Marjorie Stewart was the only daughter of Archibald Stewart, writer to the signet, so he had a good pedigree, he was schooled at Edinburgh high school from then entered the University of Edinburgh where he took an arts degree although he also attended courses in natural philosophy. On the advice of Adam Ferguson, Dugald Stewart spent one year in Glasgow where he attended the lectures of Thomas Reid. On his return to Edinburgh University he spent 13 years teaching mathematics.

In 1775 he was appointed joint professor of mathematics with his father. However, when Ferguson resigned as professor of moral philosophy in 1785 he was succeeded by Dugald Stewart who held the post for 25 years.

His writing included: Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind, published over 35 years in three volumes, Outlines of Moral Philosophy and Philosophical Essays.

Stewart left Scotland on a number of occasions to visit France. In 1806 for example he accompanied the Earl of Lauderdale in an attempt to negotiate peace with Napoleon. On a previous visit to the country, he had witnessed the outbreak of the French Revolution.

He spent much of his retirement at Kinneil House, Boness, a stately home owned by the Dukes of Hamilton since the 17th century. 

My favourite wee story about Dugald Stewart involves other big hitters of the era like Dr Joseph Black,  Professor Adam Ferguson, John Home and two other poets, Robert Burns, our national bard, and Walter Scott, famous for may poetic works as well as the Waverley series and Ivanhoe. I’m not sure about how Walter Scott had come to be at the meeting on Edinburgh Southside in  Sciennes Hill House as he was only 15 at the time, but he must have been a bit star  struck, these guys were the creme de la creme.

We know what happened, because Scott left several accounts of the meeting. Burns, it should be said, did not do so, but by then Burns was well on his way to fame and no doubt met many of Edinburgh’s literati in the Oyster Clubs and other clubs such as the Crochallan Fencibles Club, one of many he became a member of.

Scott recalled in 1827: “I was a lad of fifteen in 1786-7, when he came first to Edinburgh, but had sense and feeling enough to be much interested in his poetry, and would have given the world to know him; but I had very little acquaintance with any literary people, and still less with the gentry of the west country, the two sets that he most frequented.

“Mr Thomas Grierson was at that time a clerk of my father’s. He knew Burns, and promised to ask him to his lodgings to dinner, but had no opportunity to keep his word, otherwise I might have seen more of this distinguished man.

“As it was, I saw him one day at the late venerable Professor Fergusson’s, where there were several gentlemen of literary reputation, among whom I remember the celebrated Mr Dugald Stewart. Of course we youngsters sate silent, looked and listened.

“The only thing I remember which was remarkable in Burns’ manner, was the effect produced upon him by a print of Bunbury’s, representing a soldier lying dead in the snow, his dog sitting in misery on the one side, on the other his widow with a child in her arms. These lines were written beneath, – ‘Cold on Canadian hills, or Mindens’ plain, Perhaps that parent wept her soldiers slain: Bent o’er her babe, her eye dissolved in dew, The big drops, mingling with the milk he drew, Gave the sad presage of his future years, The child of misery baptized in tears.’ “Burns seemed much affected by the print, or rather the ideas which it suggested to his mind. He actually shed tears.

He asked whose the lines were, and it chanced that nobody but myself remembered that they occur in a half-forgotten poem of Langhorne’s, called by the uncompromising title of The Justice Of The Piece.

“I whispered my information to a friend present, who mentioned it to Burns, who rewarded me with a look and a word, which, though of mere civility, I then received and still recollect, with very great pleasure.”

i write for almost every character played by evan peters, including american horror story ones, and excluding smut for tate langdon, kyle spencer, and his other underage characters.

i write for most of the criminal minds team, excluding ones who enter beyond season seven, as i have yet to be introduced to them.

i write for a large percentage of the marvel characters, excluding tony stark, clint barton, and peter quill, and i will not write smut for minors such as peter parker.

i write for a large percentage of the arrowverse characters, but only upon request.

i will not write sexual content depicting minors.

i will not write anything depicting r@pe, abuse, racism, or homophobia towards the reader/other characters. the only occasion in which any of the stated may be depicted is in fictions that centre around law enforcement characters and their attendance at, or job surrounding, a crime scene, such as criminal minds.

if you wish to be added to my general taglist, please send an ask! in the meantime, i will be compiling a google form for this.
