Intro post because my slideblog has one so it'd only be fair
Hi I'm Archie (she/him), I do a lot of mixed art and I write.
AO3
I have a whump sideblog but like u can't have it
My pattern is to be having a lot of active periods, surrounded by months of posting jack shit. In that same vein I change fandoms relatively fast, with some exceptions.
She finally got her dragon! I love the idea that somewhere along the journey (or maybe after it) Lae'zel found a little dragon. Not the majestic red one she dreamed of at the start, but a small one - yet still hers C:
Some time ago I drew Laezel with a little dragon, and finally - I've dug this subplot up 😆 Came up with all sorts of fun interactions for it within the party x)
With the upcoming release (and we assume wild success) of GOBLINS on 22nd June, Tim is worried about going about his life in anonymity. So here we see him trying out a clip on pony tail, and I think we can all agree the transformation is stunning.
Some random scene bits for Robin Hood. Of course he’s captured, but he tries to keep his smug look as long as possible.
And then Guy Gisbourne saves him, this would be later on in the show, so Sheriff Nottingham discovers him.
And finally, in the hospital under Dr. Marian’s care. Guy has lost his job and is a criminal along with Robin’s Merry Men. Robin has an actual genuine moment.
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

In which you exchange pleasantries during the world's most awkward dinner
(Mystic & Remnant) "Your son's art.. it's incredible." You remark, trying to break the ice.
The tiniest of smiles sneaks onto the doctor's face, even so she still looks tight sprung like a drawstring.
Reese smiles a bit sheepishly, his cheeks turning the slightest bit pink.
Then that imaginary string snaps and the doctor's face turns to ice cold, and very hard stone as she answers, almost practiced, "He has a lot of skill, honed through practice and dedication.
I can't say I understand a lot of his pieces, but of course I find his art is very impressive."
The expression on Reese's face sours too, "Thanks Doc."
As you say nothing a momentary silence falls over the table. None of the others speaking up, which strikes you as strange, since surely they know the participants of this occasion much better than you.
Although then again maybe that is why nobody speaks up.
Hot:
"Ugh. Surely there's something we can say to break the ice.."
Book smart:
"What's the point of dancing around the important questions."
Street smart:
"It's safe."
Hot:
"It's polite."
(Remnant) "Hey doctor, are there and roaches in your house? I've been looking for them, with no success sadly."
The table turns so quiet you can hear Kaneeka fidgeting with her fork. A crow outside the window caws.
Hot:
"It's all over. It's all over I am dead. Remnant you've done it you've kill—"
(Hot) You stop abruptly mid sentence.
Hot:
"What I mean to say is. Why??"
The answer is simple.
Remnant:
"The roaches interest me."
You don't see the issue.
At the other end of the table the doctor glowers at you with what you think is disdain,
"Of course not. I keep my house very clean."
Book smart:
"Is it just me or is she a little more tense than last time we saw her?"
(Remnant)(Lie) "Oh.. well that's strange cause if I was a roach I'd kill for this food.."
…
That's a lie. Everyone knows it.
(Remnant) "Eheh, thanks for making this doctor-ma'am."
"That's just doctor." She scowls.
Stella let's out an on edge chuckle, "It kind of reminds me of when we were kids.
It's been a while since we've done this."
That seems to get to the doctor, her expression momentarily softening.
Actually, old memories seem to be a source of comfort to all at the table.
The doctor shakes her head, but there is less sting to her words this time,
"I should've charged your parents for all the food you went through, honestly. It was like I was running a restaurant, not a doctor's office."
(Hot) "What were Stella and Kaneeka like as kids?" You continue this line of questioning.
"Noisy and messy. Like all kids," For a moment it seems like that's all doctor Kelly will say on the subject, but then she continues fondly, "And they always had their little projects. Video crafts or animal rescues or whatever it was that had captured their imagination that week.
So, like I said, noisy and messy."
Stella taps her chin with the back of her fork, "Didn't we bring a dead squirrel into your house once?"
"Oh god, not the squirrel," Kaneeka shudders at the words, clearly experiencing a vivid flashback.
"I remember that squirrel, didn't you think the doc could Frankenstein it back to life or something?" Reese tilts his head.
"I was like twelve! I was very susceptible to what I saw in media. And sad about that squirrel." she sighs, "That's one of those things that keeps me up at night. I still feel guilty about bringing that into your house Doctor Kelly.."
The doctor waves her away, "I'm just glad you didn't make it a habit."
(Book smart & Remnant) Enough stalling, time to gain information, "So have you.. perchance, seen anything weird?" You ask.
"Weird what?" The doctor responds bluntly.
what to ask her about..
• (Explore) "Do you know this Wayne guy?"
• (explore) "Are you poisoning your son?" That'd be pretty weird
• (explore) "How about strange creatures in the woods?"
• (explore) "Has anyone come in suffering from hallucinations?"
