Do y'all remember in the first book when Artemis didn't mind being called 'Arty' by Juliet

Now do we remember in the 5th book when Artemis was mad crushing on Minerva

And then let's consider the ship between Artemis Fowl and Alex Rider (Alexmis)

What do these 3 all have in common?

They're all blonde. ARTEMIS IS INTO BLONDES GUYS THIS IS NOT A DRILL HE HAS A TYPE.

Title: Major Malfunction Pairings: Quackity/Wilbur, Quackity/Schlatt Rating: Explicit Words: 10,700 A gift for @regicidal-optimism, as part of the @mcytblrholidayexchange Summary:

“I just think it’s a little ridiculous, that’s all,” Wilbur says around a mouthful of hash brown. “I mean the theater of it, you know? The spectacle.” “Of course it’s a spectacle," Quackity says. “We’re launching a fucking rocket.” “We launch rockets every day. This one just so happens to have people sitting on top of it.” “I’m not a chump for being excited about this,” Quackity says, setting up all the familiar defenses. “It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal every fucking time.” “I never said you were a chump, Quackity, let’s not be dramatic.” Quackity’s eyes stay on the road, but he can hear the eyeroll in Wilbur’s voice. “I only said that it’s depressingly mundane.” “For you, maybe," Quackity says, and swallows down the rest.  or Quackity and Wilbur are Space Shuttle flight control officers for NASA in the 1990s.

Being aromantic and finding that out in ur 20s is soooooooo funny bc I met the 3 people I consider my soulmates (one of whom is now my qpp) in october of 2016, and both before and after this i dated a few people but as i grew closer and closer w this group and also came into my gender and sexuality over the yrs, id sometimes wonder why i didnt crave romantic fulfillment anymore, and not fantasize about having a long term bf or anything. It didn't really worry me? Like, I wasn't concerned about it, but I would go like huh wonder what's up w that. Oh well not my problem!, every now and then

And then thru making friends w a bunch of arospec folks I was finally like oohhhhhhhh it's because my emotional fulfillment needs are already met and these people and our friendship is an intrinsic part of my being and i love them more than i can ever hope to describe. Got it!

PHOTOSHOOT: THE GUARDIAN

A major throwback for today! Marina Diamandis was lensed by Frederike Helwig for The Guardian on April 30th, 2010. Check out what she wore below!

The Welsh-Greek entertainer donned a signature Alexander McQueen Resort 2010 geometric print pop-art long-sleeved dress with V-neckline (she wore it backwards) and shoulder pads!

The heelless black leather court pumps with studded ankle cuffs were created by Natacha Marro for Pam Hogg's Spring/Summer 2010 collection!
