π§‘ young Tim & Angeline redraw π§‘ So many things I'm unhappy with in this drawing, but since I draw mostly for my mental health, when I start to get frustrated is my cue to just let the piece be done. I'm still quite pleased to see how far I've progressed with Procreate since I first started ! I won't repost the original drawing though, even though it's a testament of my journey it still makes me cringe, it's so bad x')
I love it when decision-making for writing a fic boils down to 'what's the most fucked up thing I could do here?'
Thanks @laeliana for tagging me !
Rules: In a new post, list the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.
Artemis Fowl WIPs : - Fragments of Artemis Fowl - Pareidolia Agent (titre temp) - Experiments Weird III (trouve un titre merde) - Oiseaux moqueurs
Film WIPs : - Insubmersible - P(e)aupière - Carnation - Ctrl+Z - Couilles de chat (yes, I keep my fanfic WIPs in the same folder as my work WIPs. as one should)

π€ Character you least understand?
Thatβs such a tricky question to answer, depending on how you interpret βunderstandβ. Thank you for asking ! After pondering for a bit, I think Iβll say Artemisβ grandfather. What I donβt understand about this person, is why we know so absolutely little about him, when he should be SO important to explain why Tim became Tim, and thus how Artemis became Artemis. The little we do know about this grandfather just feels off and weird to me. Basically, heβs only truly mentioned three times : - In book 1, Angeline mistakes Artemis for his grandfather, and talks to him extremely fondly and casually, even calling him (in the French version at least) by the most informal term possible to adress a grandparent/FIL ; indicating a very warm and soft relationship ? Though it might just be her psychotic episode distorting the actual truth of how they interacted ? - Then Tim, in TEC, claims that his father only treated him as a businessman and barely knew him as a person ; if his relationship with his father was so cold and distant, why would Angeline show this man such kindness, when we know how fierly protective she is of the ones she loves ? - And then, in TAC Artemis recalls a fond memory of spending time in his grandfatherβs workshop. Sure it might be Angelineβs father in this memory but I donβt think it is. I feel like Timβs father deserved to be a much more prominent, menacing shadow, even being long dead before the start of the first book. I would have loved to know more about him (like, I donβt know, a name would have been nice ^^β), but thatβs also just me wanting to know more about the Fowl family in general. The good thing here at least, is that there is such little lore that it gives a lot of leeway for headcanons π And oh, how many do I have about this man π
πΈ
But this time, I asked my husband to answer π 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 β¨ (calling him by his nickname Chat πΈ from now on for ease of reading)
the character πΈ least understands Doodah Day. Chat doesnβt 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 βpowersβ. 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 itβs a missed opportunity.
interactions πΈ enjoyed the most Artemis and Foaly ! They are Chatβs 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, βwhat wasted potential πΏ". Well, in Pareidolia Agent (next installment of Artemis Experiments Weird), letβs just say Chat and I decided to work on that π
the character who scares πΈ 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 didnβt 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 πΈ Artemis, βbecause him and I have way too many flaws in common πΏβ (which is kinda true tbh, dΓ©so pas dΓ©so mon amour)
hottest looks character Vinyaya ! Chat is an absolute sucker for long white silvery hair π€ (which he absolutely insists on telling everyone he once sported himself ! now they are still long but only blonde ^^)
one thing πΈ 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 π 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 doesnβt exist)
one thing πΈ likes about his hated character Chat absolutely loves the cold cruelty of Opal murdering Root. To him, she was the most ruthless weβd ever seen any character be in the series at this point, and Rootβs 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 didnβt exactly turn out that way, but he still loves TOD for this.
a quote or scene that haunts πΈ 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 πΈ indifferent Vinyaya, βbecause itβs not canon πΎβ - and because it felt so gratuitous, absurd and useless.
a character πΈ wish died but didnβt Chatβs 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 Hollyβs attempt to revive Butler shouldnβt have worked this well. To quote : "Artemisβ 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 anythingβ. for those who have read Experiments Weird : no comments
πΈβs ship that never sailed Chat isnβt a huge shipper, but after pondering he declared that Holly and Trouble should have been together after TOD. So @ionlymadethissoicouldleaveanask thatβs a win for the Holly/Trouble truthers gang π And thatβs it ! Chat doesnβt have a tumblr but if his takes stir some conversation heβd read and respond with pleasure π
βPlease draw little Artemis comforting Angeline after his father has gone missingβ
Couldnβt tag the requester anyway have some angst

Itβs 4:30AM and I canβt sleep, Iβm too mad at the scores at figure skating US nationals, Amber should be in first Γ¨.Γ© Anyhoo, hereβs my darling Angeline π Iβm slowly getting the hang of this procreate thingy
for the ask game, oiseaux moqueurs!
This one is a revamp of a very very old unfinished fic, originally titled "Les oiseaux moqueurs ne chantent pas en hiver" (mockingbirds don't sing in the winter) The initial idea was following Adult!Artemis who grew up to absolutely hate and despise his father, but has to collaborate with him after Angeline has mysteriously disappeared. One even earlier version was Artemis having to investigate his father's murder instead x') This one is my WIPs but I'm not sure it will end up happening, it might instead merge with the plot of my Experiments Weird trilogy
