RE-BLOG THIS IF YOU ARE ASEXUAL AND PROUD β οΈπ
everyone drop whatever you're doing right now and go read this.
another amazing work by @bittersuite-iv who is very surely becoming one of my favourite AF fanfic authors right now.
hi fowldom! i finally finished chapter one of my arcane-inspired artemis fowl au!
if you enjoy dark magic, apocalypses, knights, light biopunk, lemurs, or complicated relationships, this could be the fic for you :)
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
On top of May being mental health awareness month, itβs also BPD (Borderline personality disorder) awareness month. I donβt even have enough words to describe what it feels like living with BPD. It has been my tool to survival and will eventually be my demise. Life with BPD is the hardest. You are emotionally fucked. You are toxic to everyone you come into contact with. Everyday is a struggle. Every hour is a caution tape. Living with it is like living in a gas chamber that is slowly leaking toxic fumes. Your breath is always caught. Your tears are always flowing. Even with therapy and medication for the symptoms, there is so much left to deal with. It never really goes away. At a moment's notice you can change feelings from βI love youβ to βI hate youβ. Having someone love you feels fake. Like you are never going to be loveable. That no one could ever love you. Youβre too much of a burden. Too damaged to be loved. BPD is from trauma. And well, I have generations of it. No matter how much I try, no matter how much I grow it never feels enough. Emotions feel like suicide. Thoughts scream too loud. Demons control you like a puppet unable to run away. Hallucinations come and go. You really never know when they'll come or go. Sometimes the episodes will be minutes, others months. Distance or slightest voice change feels like abandonment. Happiness or peace feels like an illusion. Losing someone is like the world is the knives across your skin. Anger feels like jumping off a cliff. Every time someone tries to comfort or love you feels like a trick. You either feel alone or feel like a god. Living with BPD is the hardest thing to live with. It's comparable to giving my children up for adoption. Either youβre high on top of the galaxy or youβre at rock bottom over and over in a vicious cycle. We are so stigmatized. People think we are βticking time bombsβ. Hell Iβve even had therapists leave or deny me because of it. For all of my borderlines out there, you deserve love. You deserve happiness. You canβt just cope, you have to heal. It will take every ounce of self control and inner power to get through each episode. But I promise you when you find peace, true peace youβll know what Iβm talking about. Your trauma does not make you. You are not your trauma. You are not crazy. You are not a burden. Just hang tight, weβve got this.Β

Let me reciprocate!
Your headcanons about Minerva, and your favorite headcanons about Angeline!
:3
Minerva, Minerva... The Minerva of my dreams is vastly different from the canon one. I always thought she would be a much more interesting foil to Artemis if she came from a different sociocultural background - what if the rich Irish boy faced a poor French girl from the Seine-Saint-Denis suburbs ? I think it would give her a different kind of grit, and also her motives for turning to crime wouldn't just be a Nobel Prize, but just... financial stability. For her and her family. I could develop more but I want to keep some surprises for my next fics :3 As for my darling Angeline, oh my. I tried to come up with a top 3 to keep myself in check ^^" 1) She's a fierce redhead π₯ 2) She had a musical career as the lead pianist of the jazz quartet The Silky Silfaka Lemurs π΅ After she had Artemis she stopped playing in the band but she kept composing music. 3) Her favorite beverage is jasmine tea πΈ
see you all in a few days ! o7
