Messing around with procreate some more! To be honest it’s really useful, especially with how you transport files, but I must say pretty tricky to figure out.
Was this considered an unpopular opinion?
Sometimes I will refer to artemis as a privileged rich asshole and yknow? I'm right. He grew up wealthy.
Yes, he had a shitty childhood of bad parenting negligence and forced maturity, but never lacked basic necessities to affect his childhood and was extremely privileged due to that.
And because of this he doesn't understand struggles that characters like Holly, who grew up in a working class family, face. Artemis says some shitty things to those characters without realizing. He's used to being prioritized first with the attention from the Butlers he gets (his employees) and the child prodigy status that makes him untouchable.
To summarize, yes, you're right that he had garbage for parents and suffers from trauma. But that doesn't make him 100% redeemable: characters can be flawed, and one of Artemis' is his privileged upbringing and mindset.
yada yada yada please rb for a wider sample size because i am actually VERY curious

(^.^) excitement!
It has been far too long, but I finally got round to it! And I also went through the trouble of splitting some chapters so everything wasn't so long.
Hope y'all enjoy!

yo so here are some things the ddos attack on ao3 should NOT provoke you to do:
decide that this is an excuse to be racist and islamophobic about who you think the attackers are (which is likely a front anyway)
assume that the people who care about fighting racism and the mistreatment of volunteers by otw are in alignment with this (if we were, why would we be doing all this work to try and make otw better)
use this as a reason to defend any lack of change on ao3 because it's too "at-risk" (fixing otw's dysfunction could only better serve the organization in emergencies)
think that the only way you can support the volunteers who are working hard to fix this is by donating to otw (the volunteers aren't going to be paid, and otw has $2.5 million in surplus that not only isn't being used for anything but has only earned $90 in interest in a year because it's not even invested well, it's just sitting there)
what it should provoke you to do - push the otw board to make changes, including:
addressing the racism that already makes ao3 and otw a hostile space for many fans of color, including volunteers
paying for workers and services with that budget surplus to help keep volunteers from burning out constantly
hold the board and the legal committee accountable to the volunteers who have already been mistreated and put at risk by their actions
probably more things! these are just off the top of my head idk!
tbh there's so much dysfunction in this org that it's really hard to know where to start. but the knee-jerk racist and "it's the antis out to bring ao3 down!!!" reactions are ridiculous, come on
