My Beloved Darling Jason 🥹☘️

When can I see you again? I've been waiting out here for so long and I Don't seem to find the resolve To keep building these castles out of snow

They only melt away When spring is arriving and guilt will be here Waiting to drag me down into your pond

You bury me slowly, you bury me slowly "Take what you can" (Tim) "Give what you don't need" (Angeline) Still I'll let it be known in every parish You are loved, you are loved...

When, Susanne Sundfør

(the bold parts are not the exact lyrics, but what I personally hear)

If Artemis has even only one (1) song that sounds even remotely like that in the musical, to express how he feels about his parents, I'll be a happy woman There is just such a beautifully dark and melancholic undertone throughout this entire book series to me, and I'm so terrified that a musical will not be able to do it justice...

Foaly ! 🥕

I firmly believe that one of the main reasons he likes carrots so much is that they kinda look like Root’s mushroom cigars and he can pretend to smoke to drive him mad (and it works wonderfully)

be bored. find a short film titled 'Juliet dans Paris'.

think of Artemis Fowl. watch the movie.

... yeah. erm. not the same Juliet.

Honestly, I'd rather believe it's going to be a disaster and be pleasantly surprised, than trusting again and be disappointed at the outcome. The interview snippets with the staff do seem to indicate a more faithful take on the books, but it was also kind of the case with the movie at first and we all know how that turned out, so :/ Here's to hoping Eoin Colfer and Disney Theatrical make me eat my words o7

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.....

Shuffle your on-repeat playlist, post 10 9 songs, tag 10 some people!

Thanks for the tag @valhelos ! I did rearrange the results a little bit so there was a little variety in this selection, otherwise it would have been only AURORA songs ^^" (yes I'm hyperfixated, how can you tell?). Also I only did nine songs because it's a better number :3 ... And yes half of them are still AURORA. Sue me.

Song links: link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4, link 5, link 6, link 7, link 8, link 9

If so inclined, y'all can give it a try : @kayden-i-guess @amaristheowlcat @unlucky-number-4 (I'm scared to tag people please don't be mad at me)

:333 I'm super happy you liked my lil ramblings ! As for daemon choices, I read all your posts ! A swan for my darling Angeline is just spot on. I was dead set on a butterfly for years (for all the reasons you listed), and more recently on moths, for their association with silk (elegant, soft, expensive) and light (always chasing it, often at their own expanse). Some moths are also specifically associated with change, which I feel fits her intense emotional lability quite well. Some species are also considered pests, some as bad omens. It's a vibe that fits how she can sometimes become a danger not only to herself but others. I was specifically thinking of moths like the Luna or the White Witch ; and the Madagascan sunset because it's so pretty. But the idea of a swan for her ? *chef's kiss*. I love it. Tim, I agree with you, is tough. I like all your ideas, but my favoured one is the snake. Butler, if his daemon is female, I'd love it to be a bear. It would be terribly impractical in daily life, but this dude is the most mama bear ever and they would make an absolutely deadly duo. But as you develop in your tags, I'm also very partial to queer Butler, and love the idea of him having a male daemon. Livestock guardian dog is perfect for him <3 (and now I have an immense urge to draw Butler's daemon carrying baby Artemis' daemon around scruffing her neck é.è) Juliet, it's funny but she's the one I've always envisioned with a lemur or a lil monkey. She's a smart fun-loving daredevil and I feel like it fits her the most. But I agree that a nod to the vivid green and overall bright colours would be so cool ! Why not a grasshopper ?

And now, Artemis. I have a special theory for him : I think his daemon would not settle and always keep her shifting abilities. I know it sounds a bit Mary Sue-esque, but if you consider it, doesn't it fit him perfectly ? Artemis to me is most characterised by his funambulist dynamic - he's always, always walking a tightrope between two extremes : innocence and dangerousness, good and evil, fairies and humans, empathy and ruthlessness, justice and criminality... and childhood and adulthood. One of the most striking thing he says in the first book is how he's still just enough of a child to believe in magic, but enough of an adult to exploit them. It's his greatest strength, but it also isolates him so much. That's why he's such a lonely character, to me ; he never belongs quite anywhere, because he's always toeing the line between one thing and its complete opposite. At his core, Artemis is unique and a trailblazer, a changeling never quite a human, never quite a fairy, never quite a child, never quite an adult.

How to better express that than a daemon that forever keeps shifting like a child's ? I also love this idea because it doesn't have to be obvious. Artemis and his daemon are both smart ; they know how to take best advantage of that. I feel like by the time they know most daemons settle, they'd pick a shape they like (a silky silfaka lemur, or my two favourites - a raven, or a rat) and pretend to be settled. I believe of his close ones, only Butler and maybe Holly would know the truth. Artemis' daemon would only shift when it's necessary - to complete a plan (like turning into a smaller animal, a fish, an insect to sneak stealthily somewhere) or to scare an enemy to death (WHAT THE HELL THIS GROWN MAN'S DAEMON IS SHIFTING WHAAAA...). Now combine that with the TLG idea of the daemon now being capable of roaming around miles away from Artemis... He's as powerful, and as othered as can be. And that's just so him.

also the idea of AF plot with daemons is kind of upsetting, like wtf happens during butler and artemis' respective deaths. does butler's daemon fade away for that time butler is dead?? or does her body remain because artemis kept his brain on ice???

and for artemis' death.... if his soul was torn from his body but remained tied to earth, what does that mean for his daemon? his body dies but his daemon remains alive and conscious??? that would be so fucked up within the lore of daemons. my fucking god. like she's a symbol of hope and certainty that artemis can be brought back, but it's also horrifying and upsetting to see her walking around like a ghost, like something reanimated and fundamentally against nature.

how do these deaths affect their relationships with their daemons? or the invisible strings between them? like, would artemis' daemon be able to travel freely apart from him after his resurrection- oh my god i just remembered the cloning thing, what are even the repercussions and implications of that

:(((

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.....

🥺

Midsummer Night Dream??? 👀

Tell me more!

Just Artemis and Holly doing a little trip down memory lane, to the oak tree where they first met ^^

I will definitely finish this one at some point, I really like the idea.

I want to have fun with the coloring, I want to add a lot of fireflies ✨ I was also thinking of adding Butler chilling either in the foreground or in the background, because 1) he was there too and it’s as much his memory as it is Artemis and Holly’s 2) I don’t want the drawing to have romantic undertones (because that’s just not how I personally see Artemis and Holly) and I feel like Butler’s presence would help in that regard ? Also I just need to draw this lovely big man more ^^
