Another Day At The Office… Or When Foaly Ropes Holly Into His Shenanigans.

Oh dear oh dear. So many things. Here's just a lil snippet : > Artemis still wears suits (sorry fowlblue), but more... vintage ones. I want him to acknowledge that everyone sees him as that "creepy ghost of a Victorian child" and go "oh? alright then" and show up at work looking like a full-on scary baby dandy, most notably ditching the tie for a lavallière (pinned down with a golden Celtic fibula, maybe?) and the loafers for leather laced boots. The vibes? Immaculate. > More acknowledgment that the fairies folklore is Artemis long-standing special interest/hyperfixation since early childhood that even his father's disapproval (bUt mAgiC iSn'T ReAl gRoW uP) couldn't shut down. That child is deeply autistic and it seems like a not too obnoxious and cute way to show it. > MORE 👏 ANGELINE 👏 AND 👏 MENTAL 👏 ILLNESS 👏 > MORE 👏 JULIET 👏 ARTEMIS 👏 FRIENDSHIP 👏 SIBLING-LIKE 👏 RIVALRY 👏 BANTER 👏 TOUGH LOVE 👏 Now for the fairies: > Half-goblin Holly for the win !! Already developed a bit of her backstory in a prev post, but so much fun stuff to alter in the books with that concept. She lives in a goblins neighborhood were only the kids like her, all the adults think she's a traitor and a sell-out. At work she's not as much harassed for being a woman, but almost all the officers hiss-hiss-hiss when they walk past her. Book 2 changes massively, because Holly is absolutely torn by the B'wa Kell rebellion, she feels like she should choose sides but doesn't want to. Artemis can bond with her on being branded as a criminal just because of your birth certificate. I repeat : Artemis can bond with her on being branded as a criminal just because of your birth certificate. > Let the fairies be just as judgmental, racist as they are in the books, but let them be called out on it and damn, just explore it. They call themselves pacifists yet they are are run by an all-powerful police-state. It's actually an amazing idea but it's just... left there. Explore it ! Corruption and immorality isn't just a humans' problem ! > Justice for the goblins. Everyone believes they are the stupidest fairy family? Fine. Maybe they are - but does that mean they deserve to be treated like inferior beings, only worthy of mockery and disrespect ? Nope. Also, according to who's standards are they the stupidest fairy family ? There are so many forms of intelligence. Maybe theirs just don't correspond to the golden standards of the elves and centaurs but nobody bothered to try and understand that. > More fairy and supernatural folklore from various cultures incorporated ! Banshees, selkies, onryo, aswangs, changelings... So many possibilities ! And bonus round, if I were to adapt AF to the screen (in an animated series because I do believe this is the way) : > Make it a mockumentary true-crime show, from the fairies' POV. Featuring interviews from all the main cast, video and sound archives (from the LEP ? from the Fowl family ?), reconstitutions... hell, even actual memories extracted from the Fowl gang after TEC. Not very ethical I know, but again - a true-crime show. > Controversial take, but I would majorly revamp dwarves. No more dwarves, they just are not a fairy species. Mulch would stay more or less the same character in terms of personality, but I would change his species from dwarf to troll - a nordic troll, the ones that change to stone when hit by the sun and change back at night. Make them a mineral species, that are literally made of dirt, rock and moss - how does Mulch because a burglar then ? Well, he's made of dirt and sand. He can sip through walls. He can shapeshift, maybe. That idea is still very much a WIP, but even though I know it's iconic, I don't thing a farting dwarf can actually translate from books to cinema. I don't see how it can't be anything else but extremely cringe. Let's stop there for now, but yeah. I have a lot of more or less unhinged ideas :D

Y’know what? I’m curious, and I wanna talk again-

Fellow AF fans, tell me how you would make Artemis Fowl if you were behind the writing wheel. It can be anything from “Juliet features more heavily in the plot” to reframing the LEP and fairies as a whole. I want to know!

I’ll give you mine- I’d make Artemis more interested in magical creatures than tech alone, and I’d have him wear suits less!

Woke up this morning randomly thinking about this classical music and ballet tv competition that we watch with my family during Winter holidays ; last Christmas, there was a little flutist girl among the finalists who, when asked what she'd want to do with the cash prize, immediately said 'I WANT TO BUY A GOLD FLUTE BECAUSE I ALWAYS DREAMED OF HAVING ONE !! :D' And at that moment I simultaneously thought "hell yeah girl boss", and "... Artemis ? Is that you ?" Hence, this drawing :3

😭 MY MAN ONLY WANTED TO SAVE THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE FROM AN ETERNAL AFTERLIFE OF TORMENT 😭 THEY ONLY WANTED TO HAVE A NICE HAPPILY EVER AFTER 😭 è.é I will not let anyone speak ill of my darling Imhotep è.é

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

reblog if you think sign language should be taught as a language in schools.

:(((

So apparently there is going to be a musical theatre adaptation of Artemis Fowl. I love musical theatre, but honestly I just cannot see this going well.....

Absolutely AMAZING fic. Go read this if you haven't, it's a jewel.

hello fowldom! do you think that artemis and holly are the friends of all time? does the passage about artemis’ magic in the time paradox perpetually rotate in your mind? do you enjoy our teenage criminal mastermind also being an awkward loser? then do i have the fic for you!

i finished this one up last week but i figured i could try yelling about it into the void for a bit :)

🥺🥺🥺 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.
