Honestly, I'd Rather Believe It's Going To Be A Disaster And Be Pleasantly Surprised, Than Trusting Again

💅🏻 Mullet!Juliet origin story 💅🏻 ... which is : Holly visited while Samsonetta was away, they watched some replays of the fairy sport that I don't know the name of in English ('croqueballe' in French) ; then Juliet showed Holly a few monuments of human cinema (namely, Bloodsport and Samurai Cop)... and they just decided to cut Juliet's hair 💚

I just wanted more Juliet and Holly friendship, we were robbed in canon. I'm happy with their expressions, not so fond of the background but I rarely do backgrounds ever so that's not that bad I guess.

‘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

my favourite ship dynamic is “me and the bad bitch i pulled by being autistic” but you can’t tell which is which

I'm gonna miss this blog so freaking much é.è

Am spending a week at my parents', and look who's there ! Do you recognise this owl ? 🦉Yep, that's right ! Baby Artemis' plushy is real baby ! ✨ She belongs to my mum, and her real name is Hedwige 🥰

🥺

remember that 17th century dress I've been talking about ?

Here it is !

Mum helped with the pattern and the structure, and I sewed all the details, by hand mostly :D

This century's silhouette is the least flattering ever but I'm still super proud that we made this entire garment in only a week ! :D

Will probably touch up a few things here and there, but overall I'm ready to go larp >:3

🎤 Character you least understand?

That’s such a tricky question to answer, depending on how you interpret “understand”. Thank you for asking ! After pondering for a bit, I think I’ll say Artemis’ grandfather. What I don’t 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, he’s 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 grandfather’s workshop. Sure it might be Angeline’s father in this memory but I don’t think it is. I feel like Tim’s 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 don’t know, a name would have been nice ^^”), but that’s 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 😈 And oh, how many do I have about this man 😈
