my life is ruined and i am in shambles do you want to know what MY "roman empire" is? The only constant thought it in my life?

That time when Artemis was dying on the operation table thing in the time paradox and he called his mother mama. Who's his mama? Angeline. She's dying. OUGH. OUGHHH EOIN COLFER YOU HURT. YOU WOUND.

Throwing this out there, does anyone have headcanons for what fairy weddings would be like?

I… hadn’t realised how long it had been since my last Atlantis Complex re-read but it’s 100% been since before I really accepted I had OCD and Artemis at the start is acting a little to relatable to not-on-meds me for my liking.

12 year old me: Yes, Artemis is a bit weird in this one. You know, because of the whole Orion thing. The number thing and paranoia prior to him having his mental break are both Totally Normal; we all have routines like this. Yes, they’re ridiculous but they’re Safe and they Work.

23 year old me: Ohhhhhh nooooo, that was the Diagnosis™️ speaking.

alexmis is such a funny ship to me because it’s just a bunch of people who read alex rider and artemis fowl around the same time when they were kids and went “why do they kinda look good together” and now they’re probably watching some grumpy rich ceo x poor/middle class hard worker kdramas

Artemis reading Freud and Jung throughout his adolescence 🤝Angeline becoming a psychologist after recovering from her mental break in AF

Gifted-kid-burnout Artemis Fowl is so important to me. He gets half-way to Mars and is just like “oh no… I don’t believe I want to think anymore??” And spends the rest of the trip just staring at the stars and Not Thinking.

Hi yall, long time no post!

Here's a quick little watercolor I made in effort to break some major art block.

I think I'll always be fixated on the orange rose imagery from TLG 🌹🧡

I just know Artemis is (lightly) hitting curbs when driving the Bentley

I was going thru my google docs and found notes that I apparently took while watching the Artemis fowl movie when it first came out and some of my notes r so funny out of context

Now that I am thinking about it, it's wild that until the age of 13, Artemis had never spent more than a week apart from Butler.

As it is in TAI (with Artemis attending St. Bartleby's) that this changes, Artemis must not have been boarding. We have canonical report cards that indicate Artemis wasn't homeschooled (though, could some of those report cards have come from schooling by private tutors?).

Still, there's not much textual evidence to suggest Artemis has formed childhood friendships with same-age peers.

Though Artemis indeed seems a bit socially maladroit by nature, I'm not sure he's ever meaningfully learned how to engage with people other than Butler (and Juliet, when she was away training -- and, she's still 4 years older than Artemis is, so she's still not quite a same-age peer).

Been thinking about Artemis Fowl's journal again today.

This kid's idea of normal is to wake up and IMMEDIATELY think "How am I gonna get more rich today?" Contentment is foreign to him, and he's fully aware of that fact.

And then there's this gem:

A thunderhead of moody contemplation? My lil dude, this is your journal, not one of your romance novels!

Something about this scene from TAC (where Artemis is ~15) is one of the most depressing moments in the books IMO. Artemis is subdued in a way that pricks at the heart.

Artemis is like the "It Follows" monster but re: friendship. Like you say you hate him once (1) and it kicks off a 5-year plan where he'll traumatize you by getting killed in front of you right after you admit to yourself that you kind of enjoy his presence
