Hope you're doing well, dear 💖✨️

Hope youre doing well too dear💕

hey i don't want to be mean but since samirah is hijabi it's bad form to show her neck or hair. i know riordan does it in the books but his portrayal of her there is quite bad - there are lots of guides on the ways to draw hijabi respectfully if you look them up

Dear I'm a Muslim myself

I know about hijab's rules...

The reason I let a few strands of hair show was pretty personal, as an Iranian hijab was abusively forced to me, and in school they used to terrorise us with threats like if one strand of your hair shows, youre going to be hung over from that on strand in hell.

The way Samirah was described, she isn't very bound to traditions. She has her own beliefs. Even if theyre not totally Islam-accurate, theyre hers, with her allah.

Thats why I let a few strands of hair show, to show its not THAT serious, a few strands is more than fine.

And for the neck, different muslims have different beliefs, depends on you honestly.

Basically, seeing Samirah's fanart on google and stuff, i get it, its offensive cuz like theres a lot a lot of hair showing.

But a few strands of hair will always seem fine to me...

I hope i explained this well?

Sorry if i got too personal. Hijab is something i can talk about for days😅

I-

THANK YOU?!

After years of knowing about it but never knowing what was actually in it, I have finally acquired a copy of the rare 2008 UK promotional book “Who is Artemis Fowl?”

I was very excited to get my hands on it, as there was the possibility of exclusive content! To lay eyes on official AF content that I’ve never seen before, in 2022? Very exciting. Join me as I explore this tiny treasure!

First, a little background info on this thing can be found at: artemis-fowl.com/the-books/artemis-fowl-book/

So, it is quite small and thin, being a free promotional item included in a magazine. It’s got 64 pages, and is roughly 4x7 inches in size (11x18 cm).

The bulk of the pages are devoted to short extracts from all 6 (at the time) Artemis Fowl books. It came out before Time Paradox released; it has a little blurb at the end advertising that book as releasing soon, in August 2008.

The extracts are: Book 1: The brief prologue, plus the scene where Artemis enters Angeline’s bedroom and she has the mannequin of Timmy. Book 2: The scene right near the beginning where Artemis views the ransom video message on his laptop. Book 3: The scene where Holly agrees to heal Butler. Book 4: The scene after Holly saves Artemis from the hotel missile and they talk. Book 5: The opening scene where Artemis swaps fingers. Book 6: The exchange of money for lemur between Little Arty and Kronski in the leather souk, cutting off just as Holly and Artemis go in to intervene.

There is also a short extract from the original 2007 graphic novel. It’s the first few pages of the Holly intro chapter, printed in black & white.

The extracts are all well and good, but I was of course most interested in the prospect of exclusive content. And there is indeed some stuff that isn’t found anywhere else!

-A multiple-choice quiz on the characteristics of the different fairy species, with some very amusing wrong answers. -A list of Artemis’ top 10 heroic moments (according to Eoin, I guess?). Not sure what the point of this is. I guess it’s just to hype up Time Paradox, since it wasn’t out yet but it’s included in the list. -A bit from Matt (of AFC website fame) saying why the series is so special, interspersed with other fan testimonials. -A promo for the “2008 LAFTA Awards” that was held on the AF website(?). Lol.

But the most exciting part of this little book, in my opinion? Official illustrations from Giovanni Rigano (graphic novel guy) are included in the Time Paradox extract! There are 3 illustrations, and they’re exclusive to this little book. I had no idea that this existed. We now have official art of the lovely human being known as Damon Kronski!

I am including images of the book’s exclusive content for your viewing pleasure, which I’ve never seen shared online before (though I could be wrong). Since this book is evidently rare and elusive, I think it’s important that this stuff be accessible in the public record. There’s nothing mind-blowing or earth-shattering here, but I think it’s still pretty neat! Now we know what’s in this thing!
