The Eternity Code // The Time Paradox

I know that the TEC passage above is often put forth as evidence that Artemis is bad at cooking, but like...

Butler is "resting off" a bullet wound in the other room. The disproportionate "lemur response" of TTP is understood as grief-fueled pique (as much as it was an attempt at financial damage control).

"It's more difficult than it looks," says Artemis, indifferent to whether a single thing he put on the plate during his 10-second trip to the pantry was edible.

#artemis fowl #now do I think Artemis likes to cook? no #but a kind of twee helplessness around recipes is not my thinking either #which isn't to say Artemis doesn't wallow in certain kinds of helplessness -- and relishes in doing so #(e.g. the half-hearted hand-wringing about finally learning self-defense Artemis indulges in like once a book)#now Artemis does avoid being seen as incompetent #hence my thinking with cooking
