✨≽༏≼ 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 🧚‍♂️)

Round 2 of the Artemis Fowl fandom ask game

But this time, I asked my husband to answer 💜 I was curious to see what would his takes be, and I figured it was worth sharing the thoughts of my best acolyte in AF fanfic writing, my eternal partner in crime ✨ (calling him by his nickname Chat 😸 from now on for ease of reading)

the character 😸 least understands Doodah Day. Chat doesn’t understand what he adds to TLC, as to him in terms of character archetype and motivations he is just a pale rip-off of Mulch, with different “powers”. Honorable mention, also in TLC, Qwan : Chat feels that his character should have been a lot more prominent and developed, we never know much about him and he feels like it’s a missed opportunity.

interactions 😸 enjoyed the most Artemis and Foaly ! They are Chat’s all-time favorite duo, he feels like together they should be absolutely unstoppable, and even bigger besties than Artemis & Holly and even Artemis & Butler. Chat finds it sad that their duo is limited to a bratty-yet-friendly rivalry, “what wasted potential 😿". Well, in Pareidolia Agent (next installment of Artemis Experiments Weird), let’s just say Chat and I decided to work on that 😇

the character who scares 😸 the most Foaly ! Because, most like Tokita in Paprika, he is way too inconsequential and childish for the amount of intellect, resources and power he has. Multiple times in the books, catastrophes happen because Foaly pissed off the wrong people or didn’t anticipate that his inventions might be hijacked and used for evil. Even though he is ultimately a lovely lil guy, Chat feels that Foaly is so immature he is a timebomb waiting to explode, and an absolute danger to everyone.

the character who is mostly like 😸 Artemis, “because him and I have way too many flaws in common 😿” (which is kinda true tbh, déso pas déso mon amour)

hottest looks character Vinyaya ! Chat is an absolute sucker for long white silvery hair 🤍 (which he absolutely insists on telling everyone he once sported himself ! now they are still long but only blonde ^^)

one thing 😸 dislikes about his fave character Artemis lets himself be ridiculed to easily, especially after book 4 - worth noting though that Chat barely considers book 5 to 7 to be canon 😅 And this is one of the main reasons why (yes I sait 5 to 7, that is intentional - Chat has refused to read TLG and claims it simply doesn’t exist)

one thing 😸 likes about his hated character Chat absolutely loves the cold cruelty of Opal murdering Root. To him, she was the most ruthless we’d ever seen any character be in the series at this point, and Root’s murder shook the status quo in such a dramatic way, hinting at the series shifting towards a darker, more serious tone that he absolutely loved. It didn’t exactly turn out that way, but he still loves TOD for this.

a quote or scene that haunts 😸 Chat adores the first interactions between Artemis and Spiro at the beginning of TEC - how Artemis ruthlessly (and carelessly) mocks Spiro and threatens to completely ruin his career, then how the shift in power happens in the blink of an eye.

a death that left 😸 indifferent Vinyaya, “because it’s not canon 😾” - and because it felt so gratuitous, absurd and useless.

a character 😸 wish died but didn’t Chat’s hot take (that I do kinda share) : Butler should have died in TEC. Chat feels like Artemis learned his lesson too easily, with too little consequences, and that Holly’s attempt to revive Butler shouldn’t have worked this well. To quote : "Artemis’ fatal flaw is hubris, and he should have paid a higher price for flying too close to the sun ; here, his character evolves without having lost anything”. for those who have read Experiments Weird : no comments

😸’s ship that never sailed Chat isn’t a huge shipper, but after pondering he declared that Holly and Trouble should have been together after TOD. So @ionlymadethissoicouldleaveanask that’s a win for the Holly/Trouble truthers gang 😝 And that’s it ! Chat doesn’t have a tumblr but if his takes stir some conversation he’d read and respond with pleasure 🙂

🥺🥺🥺 My child !!!

Selene and Her Creator

Fanfic of a fanfic. Inspired by Eldewind Dolly's story "Artemis Experiments Weird".

--------------------

Selene was distraught. Artemis, her father, didn't care. Except this time she couldn't run away from that fact. He had said it straight to her face, with no remorse and no regret, before simply walking away. Her creator was her first bully. She had to fix this. She had to do something– anything. So she walked to his room and waited for him. She sat on the bed for a while, then read a book, then drew for a bit, then surfed the web… where was Artemis? Selene was almost beginning to lose hope, when the bedroom door opened. Artemis, Selene’s father, her creator, was standing in the doorway.

Artemis slammed the door and stormed over to Selene. She was wearing one of his mother's old dresses.

“What have you done?” he nearly shouted at her.

Selene was terrified, because she hadn't done anything. She hadn't even said a single word today! The words flowed out of her mouth before she could think about how they could be interpreted.

“Father, please! I didn't do anything, I swear. I just want you to love me! I love you so much, creator. I just wish you'd be like a real father and treat your creation right!”

The silence was deafening. Artemis's eyes were wide in anger. How dare she talk back to him? Artemis backhanded her with a surprising amount of strength, and immediately regretted it. For one, his hand hurts now. Two…he felt guilt. For the first time in a while, he felt guilt that lasted for more than just a few seconds. Selene was shocked by the expression on her creator's face, her eyes brimming with tears. Artemis then cradled Selene's head in his hands, gently caressing her hurt cheek with his thumb. He felt so bad. He kissed her cheek gently and sat down next to her.

“Selene, I'm so sorry. I don't know what got into me…”

Instead of responding, Selene simply hugged her creator and snuggled up against him, feeding on the affection.

Smol Artemis sketches 🤍

Been experimenting with new brushes, now it looks much closer to my actual trad art style. That’s nice 😊

‘A good tragedy is always both preventable and inevitable’ is one of my main hills to die on. It’s literally so important to me. I’m fucking correct

WAIT omg i thought ✨ meant that you would compliment your own writing😭😭 i’m sorry for the misunderstanding

Isn't that what I did ? Sorry I'm silly x')

Spring 1991. Happier times ✨

I wanted to draw something that felt warmer and more wholesome after my previous attempt at a ‘’big’’ piece. Not very happy with this one, I think I was a bit too ambitious for my skill level lol. I definitely could have worked on it more but I decided to call it quits anyways ^^’ Edit to add - one thing I'm very proud about - I drew the piano without any reference picture o/ For no other reason that I couldn't be bothered ahem, and the proportions are a mess compared to Angeline, but still ! *pat-pats on my own back*
