what's with this...sassy, lost child?

funny how dramatically one can change as a person

(and to answer: yes, they are both Archie! the left one is the one you know and maybe love(?), while the one on the right is how he used to look! banana soft boy became avocado feral boy)

holy crud I haven't checked in on this blog in so long, I don't even know where to start or if I should start lmao. perhaps just share some quick notes about what I'll likely try to do with this blog when I have the time and motivation:

- I'll try to go through the left asks in the askbox as I previously had them closed for the majority of being inactive here

- for the most part this blog will likely remain a bit subtle/not too active aside from occasional posts of/about this silly lil' AU and such (as it was mainly intended to be if I remember correctly lol)

the following weeks will be a bit busy for me irl so I can't guarantee much else soon, but other than that I suppose this was just a quick random post to toss out into the void in case some thought I was dead lol (I never was that good at social media management, but I can try)

tried pushing myself to do some more digital art on medibang paint, and doodled a digital Archie for your digital Archie needs.

am

am I allowed to just drop this in here with no context after months of silence?

Maxie: he has now, if he didn't before.

[likely the continuation from previous ask]

[WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER THE COMMERCIAL BREAK!]

Archie: she's really nice and fun to be around! and probably the only one who sometimes agrees to try my rad ideas whenever I come with them on their investigation thingies

Archie: that's a.....strangely specific question.

Archie: there was this one time....

Archie: it was when I tried licorice for the first time, when I was little. it was during a family gathering or something? and it was one of the "candies" in the bowls. having never tried one before, curious little me decided to nab one to eat.

Archie: the bitter taste caught me off guard, and I managed to accidentally choke on the piece....Arthur saw me choking and freaked out, but our parents didn't even notice. luckily Lance saw and saved me from the black candy of death. and to this day I haven't tried eating it again, in fear of it finishing what it started.

Archie: he's had a rough day, so don't wake him up, okay?

yikes, Archie, could you like, back away a little? your silhouette is too close

Archie: I uh, heh.....I don't really like where this is going, n-next question please....!

whew! that sure took a bit of time getting all those asks done in one day! blamming them down left and right as fast as I could! and as promised, the askbox is open and back in business!

but that's not all: I am now including magic anons for these next sets of asks! (oh, and you can now send asks to Maxie too, hopefully that outta be fun as well!)

M!A RULES! (pls do read): also srry I can't put this under a read more, I'm on mobile when posting this and don't know if I can do it on my phone :^(

- since this is the first time I'm doing this, I may have only a few rounds of m!a shenanigans for Archie! so if your m!a doesn't get selected I hope you can understand.

- you can either just have something happen (ex. maybe you teleport him to the top of the Eiffel tower for an ask bc why not), or have a m!a thing happen and last for a few asks! (max duration of m!a will be maybe 10 asks at most, but around 5 asks is ideal too)

that's all! hopefully nothing will go to chaos with this, I'm trusting you guys!

oh great, now you've summoned him!

I guess I have to introduce him now, don't I?

to keep things simple, this is Maxie, he's related to the Pepper family, and basically a distant cousin to Lewis (not blood-related to him or anything), whom he looked up to before his disappearance.
