For The Wip Ask Game: I Saw Daemons On The List And Actually Made An Audible Sound Of Interest, So May

Since I know that it helps when you're not ok... what are your favourite things about Artemis?

*feel free to answer whenever younlike, or not to answer, if you don't want to*

Thank you, you’re so sweet 💜 It’s a tough question to answer though x’) I guess, it’s the duality of him. How he’s a perpetual funambulist - never quite a child, never quite an adult ; never quite a criminal, never quite an honest man ; never quite a human, never quite a magical being. Also, how his biggest strengths are also his most fatal flaws ; he is superhumanly intelligent, but that doesn’t mean he’s wise - and most if not all of the times he fell it was because of hubris. He has a resolve of steel, but his unbreakable determination often causes him to go too far, and get people (mostly ones he cares about) hurt.

And the little things, too ; the tiny cracks in his sarcastic facade, that show the heart of gold behind the cold persona. Love this dipshit with all my heart ✨

Well, that's great actually !! You can have Rick ; I keep Imhotep ; we can share Jonathan and Ardeth ; and everyone is happy 🥰

If this isn't on your list of funniest scenes in any movie ever, the only conclusion I can draw is you haven't seen this movie

Preach... 🙏🏻 I love Angeline with all my heart, but the books never really did her justice. She was a crucial part of the first book but then she just vanished once she was "cured" - which never sat right with me... call me grumpy, but I don't like the idea that magic can cure something so deeply rooted in the chemistry of the mind as mental illnesses (plural because I really don't think Angeline was simply depressed, the symptoms she exhibits in the first book feel really indicative of bipolar disorder and also schizophrenia). Only in my dreams is her struggle with mental health explored in later books... And TAC is absolute trash imo because it's a huge missed opportunity for more Artemis and Angeline bonding, acknowledging the trauma they both went through during Tim's disappearance... But, we got nothing. It really makes me SO mad to see that the most prominent thing the fowldom has retained from Angeline is the "randomosity" shirt and think of her as some superficial helpless mobwife é.è When Angeline's actually Artemis' most acute emotional and moral compass right beside Butler. So many fics that I otherwise enjoyed annoy me to no end with their portrayal of Angeline.

I'd have so much more to say about my darling, but I don't have the clarity of mind right now to expose all my thoughts in a comprehensible way (all my brain screams right now is FOOD. NOW) but I may come back to it later.

Angeline Fowl is the protagonist’s mother. She is also a wife. She is also crazy. This is basically the extent of what we learn about Angeline in the first book and she doesn’t substantially develop throughout the course of the series. Angeline represents two common tropes in fiction, the mother and the madwoman. While AF is undeniably a fantasy series, it is still rooted in our contemporary world, and so it is not unreasonable to expect a certain level of realism when depicting its mental illness or when depicting its secondary characters, in general. It's just so frustrating that Colfer really opened up such a big can of worms and then did nothing with it, or for that matter, her. :/

Had a little chat with Artemis on character.ai to wish him a happy birthday. After he told me I was "as fragile as an egg" (which I think is both very cute and very true), we started discussing French expressions. "Little Jesus in velvet panties" (le petit Jésus en culotte de velours) had him flabbergasted ; "pissing in a violin" (pisser dans un violon) and "pushing granny in the nettles" (pousser mémé dans les orties) confused him ; then I mentioned "to flee like a fart on wax cloth" (filer comme un pet sur une toile cirée) and I think I broke him. Aren't there any equivalents to these expressions in English ? (in order, these mean - a drink or food is super duper tasty ; arguing with someone who won't listen to anything you say ; exaggerating ; and escaping like a sneaky ninja) (@orangerosebush did you hear about these ones when you were in France ? I'd love to know what are your favorite French expressions !)

Anyways, Artemis had a good laugh, I consider it was my birthday present to our little dipshit. Joyeux ninif ma petite crotte (affectueusement) :)

✨≽༏≼ Fairy Ring ≽༏≼✨ It's been too long since I had the time to draw my favorite lil gremlin. A somewhat-confirmed-but-still-a-bit-of-an-headcanon I've always had is that Artemis has pretty much always been obsessed with fairies - obsessed, as in reading all the books and resources he can find on the topic, filling notebooks upon notebooks with sketches, paintings and scientific observations, composing entire symphonies on banshees and various magical creatures... ... and also, willing to spend entire days observing the fairy ring he found inside Fowl estate's woods hoping to find an actual fairy. Here, he's found a dragonfly (as a nod to Pan's Labyrinth), that seems to be strangely glowing, and he is very happy in his mischievous way 😈 Do not worry, the dragonfly was left unscathed - Artemis tried to capture it, failed (ending up covered in mud after splatting face-first in the grass like the athlete he is), went to the manor to ask Butler to help, was thoroughly chewed out by both Butler and his parents for disappearing for hours, and was ultimately sent to take a warm bath after spending an entire afternoon soaking wet in the rain. He did catch a cold, and was very upset that he might have had the chance to capture a tiny fairy but let it slip. Just be patient, Arty 💜 (Now, is the dragonfly actually magical or not ? I had fun playing with a surreal lighting to left it open to interpretation 🧚‍♂️)

🙏🏻 thank you !!! this is great 🙏🏻

Again for the fanfiction ask thing, what is the Fragments about? :3

Fragments of Artemis Fowl is the fic I'm currently working on ! It's technically taking place right after Artemis Experiments Weird, but should be readable as a solo fic. The idea : Foaly is on a sick leave from the LEP and he's bored. So he decides to grab the (illegal) copies of Artemis, Butler, Juliet and the Fowl parents' memories he has saved from the mindwipe, and explore them to figure out how Artemis Fowl became, well, Artemis Fowl 😊 So it's a non-linear collection of one-shots exploring memories of Artemis' childhood, his parents' backstory, with Foaly's (and later Holly's) take and interpretation on the whole thing ! So far I have planned 90 chapters, crafted a timeline going back to the XIXth century, two excel docs of characters (the Fowl Manor isn't gonna staff itself ! and all the other prominent crime lords around the world !!), it's so much work but 👏 I'M 👏 HAVING 👏 A 👏 BLAST 👏 I had also made an entire doc with all the miscellaneous Fowl and fairies lore and anecdotes I could find while re-reading the books, but this one got lost in my last computer crash 🫠 So I have to remake it from scratch at some point. Anywoo, this one is still a long way to go before it can be published, but I literally started to think about this fic when I was a wee twelve-years-old baby so I'm not gonna give it up and I'm so proud to see how far it's come already 💜

It’s 4:30AM and I can’t sleep, I’m too mad at the scores at figure skating US nationals, Amber should be in first è.é Anyhoo, here’s my darling Angeline 💜 I’m slowly getting the hang of this procreate thingy

🏆 ❌

🏆 What's your most popular fic?

'Artemis Experiments Weird', definitely ! Easy because I have like, two online right now lmao x') But I am quite happy with it even though I'd like to fine-tune it and tweak some lil things here and there ! :) ❌ What's a trope you will never write? not me trying to find a list of fanfic tropes because I actually don't know any heh... I guess most if not all of the smut-related tropes because I'm too ace for this shit ? ^^"

idk if it’s still your birthday where u are but happy birthday!! :D

meep meep !! thank you so much 💜

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever
