Hey! Hey! He wouldn't be Horatio if he didn't sulk and stomp and make horrid facial gesticulations!
Actually, I suspect that I kinda feel about Archie the way that you feel about Horatio. I keep trying to work my way into his head and take him seriously, but it's ridiculously hard to strike the right tone. Half the time, I'm like, "STOP BEING SO CULTURED; NOBODY UNDER THE AGE OF 45 NEEDS TO REFERENCE DANTE, BUNYAN, AND SHAKESPEARE IN THE SPACE OF THREE EPISODES" and the other time, I want to hit him for being so crazy and reckless and working out his issues from prison/Simpson.
So yeah. I've decided that I'm going to learn to write Archiefic if it kills me. Swear to God I will.
