#artemis and holly

[beautifulenemychild]

Right, but didn’t it turn out that the only reason Artemis did that was because of how Opal had been manipulating him too? Holly and he seeming on better terms by the end of the book, but his guilt then leading into The Atlantis Complex, which almost entirely focused on their relationship, that “moment of passion” as Orion and Foaly called it? Leading to those final moments in The Last Guardian. Haven’t read The Fowl Twins, but apparently there’s some sort of subtext about this about a character called nani? And a short story somewhat addressing it? And the author saying if he does another main book, it’d be the focus?

Agreed, their relationship does heal and I have read the fowl twins and (no spoilers) but Holly is a very big but background-y part of their home system (it’ll make sense I promise)

ARTEMIS FOWL BEST QUOTES/ WHY WE LOVE HIM SO.

………...……

“If I win, I'm a prodigy. If I lose, then I'm crazy. That's the way history is written.”

“I want you to know, my dear friend, that without you, I would not be the person I am today." He leaned in close and whispered, "I was a broken boy, and you fixed me. Thank you.”

“Trust me. I'm a genius.”

“Butler could kill you a hundred different ways without use of his armoury. Though I'm sure one would be quite sufficient.”

“I don't like lollipops.”

………….……….…..………………………………………..

“I am not concerned with us all, just myself. And believe me, I shall be perfectly fine. Now, sit, please. “

“I don't suppose you would consider peaceful surrender? “

“Let’s save some time here. I grow weary of your clumsy bluffs. In the case of an abduction, the LEP will send a crack Retrieval team to get back what has been lost.. You have done so. Excuse me while I titter. Crack team? Honestly. A Cub-Scout patrol armed with water pistols could have defeated them. “

“I prefer scared to dead. If possible. “

“Let us proceed under the assumption that the fairy folk do exist, and that I am not a gibbering moron.”

“But my father is so close, Butler. I can’t give up now. “

“The problem is that I know the textbook answers to any question you care to ask.”

"I think it's mine"

“Certainly, Doctor. Let's talk about your chair. Victorian?”

“Let’s just say I’m a very smart boy, Mister Spiro.”

"I'm glad to hear it Holly. But my eyes are blue, as you well know."

“And one more thing. About my name — Artemis — you were right. In London, it is generally a female name, after the Greek goddess of archery. But every now and then a male comes along with such a talent for hunting that he earns the right to use the name. I am that male. Artemis the hunter. I hunted you.”

“I never tell anyone exactly how clever I am. They would be too scared. “

"Honestly, Butler, the second we return to the hotel, I am disposing of this outfit. I miss my suits."

“I do remember, Holly. I remember it all. Especially you. It’s a real comfort to have you here.”

"If we make it through this, we will be friends. Bonded by trauma."

“Butler! You’re here!”

"Finally, some intelligent conversation."

"I am not most humans."

"No one ever calls me just to say 'Hello'."

"I have a friend, he knows all the numbers."

"Holly, let me look at you. "

"Fabulous. We're planning a june wedding. "

"I know magic can be stolen... because I stole some myself."

"I have a trick for you. "

“Extraordinary, thought Artemis. What have I lost?”

“Remember the pain?' thought Artemis. I hate myself. I really do.”

"I hear you went on a date with Trouble Kelp. Are you two planning on building a bivouac any time soon?"

“Me. I’m the nut.”

“I love you, Mother. I love you more than life. If only you could know what I have been through to find little Jayjay. Just be still for five seconds, then this nightmare will be over.”

“I am prepared to invest everything I have in this project.”

"Five. Five is everywhere."

"Does the T-shirt have any writing on it?"

“Ah, my princess. Noble steed. How does the morning find you both?”

"You were here to rob me!"

"Inkblots! Please, doctor, my lifespan is considerably shorter than yours..."

“Is this a joke? I have travelled through time, Doctor. I think I know a little about relativity.”

“Perhaps we can win, he thought. But there will be no happy ending.”

““Artemis Fowl will never be secondary.”- “I thought you were Artemis Fowl the Second? Said Holly.- “That’s different."

The fairy definitely did not expect the walrus.

(And Artemis is just in a mood.)

[ahren-the-puppeteer]

Stumbled upon this old fanart of Holly that I did a while back, gave it a little touch-up - just for fun (? hehe-

[mercykatze]

rereading my childhood fav book series out of nostalgia and felt compelled to draw them the way ive always pictured them

[aprill-99]

Character A: “The real tragedy was the friends we made along the way.”

Character B: “Don’t you mean ‘treasure’?”

Character A: “No. Having to care about other people has been a real bummer for me and my personal goals.”

[eldewinddolly]

😡 Reluctant allies 😡

I just love early series Artemis and Holly foes-to-frenemies dynamic. Even though they hate each other's guts, you can feel that Artemis respects and looks up to Holly ; and that Holly empathises and genuinely wants to understand Artemis. I'm relatively pleased with Artemis' suit ; I absolutely despise drawing suits with every fiber of my being. ... Which is a little bit of an issue when you want to draw Artemis Fowl, as you can imagine.

Don't look at the background though. It's trash 🫠

[kings0kc]

Listen I don’t know who will see this but, for years I’ve seen art and fan art of Artemis Fowl when he died in like a suit and very groomed looking. Do you guys not remember like in the middle of the last book he,butler and Holly changed into camo gear, proceeded to swim through the fowl estates pond and then Artemis and Holly crashed a plane, and he says there’s blood on his face so most likely that’s an open wound on his head to, HE will NOT be best dressed I doubt that was even on his MIND. And also when he went to go meet Opal it literally states he was pushed down a hill and he smiles, theres blood on his teeth. So all the art should have been him looking far worse than it portrays. Also he Fr sprinted to the gate and jumped over a hole (?) you KNOW that boy must have been sweating his ass off😭

[constantinemaddentheenemyofdeath]

ANY ARTEMIS FOWL FANS OUT THERE!??!!

I feel like we don’t exist, the books are so underrated(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)

[tsitoge]

artemis fowl is probably like one of my favorite series’ ever I read it around 2020 and was ENTRANCED to the point where I begged my older sister to draw art of it (and she did and she posted it too it’s still up on insta lol) and when she would send me letters she would doodle the characters for me on them for me and i would constantly draw them

anyway this series is coming back to rot in my brain so I had to draw art for it

real talk okay thinking back on it couldn’t have Artemis took out his eye to survive the gate??? Also i know Butler was canonically too distraught by Artemis’ death to come to the funeral but I drew his shoes anyway

ALSOOO the fandom is actually gone like I’m in shock Like there is tops 1-2 people I see on tumblr that actively post Artemis fowl stuff and other apps have AF posts that range from 2-6 years ago maybe I haven’t looked too hard but let’s bring AF back🙏🙏

To Artemis, Myles, and Beckett: Have you been to Disney World and if so, which was your favorite ride/attraction and favorite snack?

Artemis and Myles: Mission SPACE.

Beckett: The Incredicoaster was SUPER COOL!

Holly: The Rise of the Resistance ride was really cool. I liked all the effects and the story.

Lazuli: The Haunted Mansion.

Holly: As for favorite snacks, I'm a fan of the classic Dole Whip, Beckett is a disgusting little carnivore and likes the turkey leg, Lazuli likes to make herself sick trying to eat the jumbo pretzel all by herself, Myles will only eat frushi, and Artemis's favorite, of course, is something called Croque Glacé.

[pandafruit]

Ok, I’ve been tossing this AU around in my head for AGES, and I have to get it out or I’m gonna explode.

So in TEC, it’s made pretty clear that there are numerous risks to reviving Butler that even the fairies can’t fully account for. No healing like his had ever been attempted before, and there was really no telling what was gonna happen.

What if, in the face of all this, Holly refuses to heal him?

She’s not a trained medical warlock. She’s on her own. And she’s being asked to desecrate the body of her friend, with unknown, possibly catastrophic results. She refuses, tries her best to console Artemis and goes home.

Now, a lot changes from here.

Artemis obviously isn’t giving up hope. He transfers Butler to longer term cryogenic storage and has human surgeons fix his wounds as best they can in the meantime.

Artemis and Holly’s friendship is shattered. Artemis could never forgive her for not even trying to heal Butler. Holly doesn’t hate him in turn, but she does (mostly) believe she did the right thing, and wishes he would see her point of view. The LEP might still occasionally contact Artemis for help (though not for long - I’ll get to it) but the two of them remain, at absolute best, frosty around each other from then on.

Spiro and Blunt are no longer getting the “off to prison” treatment lmao. Artemis contacts Carla Frazetti and convinces the Chicago mob to turn on Spiro and assassinate both him and Blunt. Afterward, Artemis ends up taking Spiro’s place as benefactor and strategist for the mob. In return, Carla provides him with a security detail when needed (which is how I’m getting around Artemis not dying without Butler every 5 minutes lmao). The relationship proves very beneficial to Carla, and absolutely horrible for Artemis’s moral compass.

Artemis becomes obsessed with learning how to use magic - if the fairies won’t heal Butler, he’ll do it himself. This strains his working relationship with the LEP to the breaking point, and he eventually becomes a fairy fugitive. (I’ll be honest, this one is just bc I think Warlock!Artemis is cool as hell. They should’ve let him keep the magic >:(((( ) (Also cue tragic-yet-awesome scene where Holly is trying to bring him in and they get into a magic fight. The drama. The cinema).

Speaking of his magic! Artemis is no longer actively monitoring Foaly’s work, and the calculation error for the demons goes unnoticed until far too late. Thousands die in Hybras’s return to Earth, and the fairies come dangerously close to being revealed altogether.

When Artemis’s Atlantis Complex hits, because of his decidedly more amoral life path and extra dabbling in magic, it’s a hundred times worse. He has full blown hallucinations, panic attacks, multiple alters, and can no longer access fairy help for any of it. He stumbles by with human OCD treatments, but it’s not nearly as effective. He still refuses to see a psychiatrist.

Eventually, years down the line, Artemis masters magic well enough to revive Butler. It’s both better and worse than it would’ve been had Holly healed him - he no longer has to deal with the Kevlar strands thanks to the human medical intervention, and Artemis was able to train for years specifically to heal him, but the extra time in stasis means it takes even more of Butler’s life force to revive him.

When Butler finally awakes, he no longer recognizes the cold, paranoid, angry young man he used to dutifully protect. Butler may have been the one who was revived, but it’s Artemis who came back wrong.

There’s a million different ways this AU could go, but this is the stuff I’ve been tossing around. Also I know for a fact I haven’t hit every plot hole - PLEASE please share what you guys think would happen with me!! As of rn, I have no name for this AU, so I would appreciate suggestions for that too lmao

Wishing you a joyful birthday, Artemis! ✨

Hi! I haven't been around for a long time hehe, but I've missed drawing Artemis so darn much! Books have always held a special place in my heart 🌻💖

I wanted to doodle Butler and Juliet too

Time for a little disappearing act lol, see you soon!

[iesnoth]

This is the piece I made for Eoin Colfer last week. I had only a short time to finish it, but I like how it turned out: I like the texture of ballpoint pen.

Thank you all for your suggestions of what to draw! I ultimately went with @karlyanalora's suggestion of a book scene I enjoy, as well as many of you suggesting I draw Holly.
