#fairies and fowls

[macroglossus]

forever obsessed with artemis fowl who, upon realizing that he needs a fuckton of money in order to keep searching for his missing and probably dead father, doesn’t reach for his impeccable hacking skills or his ability to flawlessly recreate artistic masterpieces in order to commit art theft but instead runs the most absolutely insane and convoluted plan that’s ever been constructed (rivaled only by the insane and convoluted plans he constructs when he’s older and aided by time and practice). based solely, by the way, off of what basically amounts to the fairy bible which is written entirely in verse AND in a language that no human being has ever been permitted to see let alone translate. and the plan WORKS

Rereading Artemis fowl is so delightful. That child is committing atrocities but it's okay he has adult supervision

The fairy definitely did not expect the walrus.

(And Artemis is just in a mood.)

At once, Artemis sees Butler as a father figure who must acquiesce to all his whims.

Yet, it is true that :

1) Butler doesn't see Artemis as a son per se (eg B1 and B5, Butler thinks of Artemis as akin to a little brother or younger close friend - hard to see yourself in a paternal role for someone over whom you have little power)

and 2) Artemis takes up the space in Butler's life that would be occupied by a child.

Relatedly.

Can you even like. imagine. how much of a nightmare Artemis would be if Butler ever had a child

i see a lot of posts about alex and artemis meeting or alex meeting butler but has anyone talked about yassen and butler meeting. what would that be like

Had quite an epic dream last night, though much of it is rather jumbled in my memory by now. BUT the clearest memory stood out enough for me to try and illustrate the main character!

A sprite based on how they appear in Artemis Fowl, super badass but kept by an SCP Foundation style organization until she managed to escape and gets on the run. Chased after by agents from the organization wanting their fairy specimen back.

Pretty happy how I got the design down based on a dream. I oughta give her a name maybe.

Anyways, enjoy

been thinking about AF and daemon AU.

i read one fic where artemis had a lemur demon, and i really liked that 👍🏻 like with ms. coulter's daemon, primate daemons are associated with intelligence, but also an element of the cold and calculating, which obviously suits artemis.

however, for me, monkey and great ape daemons also have a touch of brutality or connection to baser instincts. and i don't quite get that same feeling from lemur daemons? i see a lemur daemon as being more in touch with the creative or unconventional. a little more contemplative and reserved. just a touch of whimsy. just as artemis prides himself on maturity, but also chases after fairies.

i get the most artemis vibe from the fork-marked lemur and the silky sifaka, though perhaps the latter is a little too on the nose. they look a little more silly than he would probably prefer, perhaps before she settles she's often in the form of a magpie or other corvid? similar vibe but a little more subdued.

next, butler :) i think a dog daemon is essential for butler for their association with service. my thought process was that it needs to be a dog, something huge and menacing, bite as bad as its bark, but also deeply loving and caring.

regular guard dogs felt right out because there's a persistent hardness to them as daemons. they serve and protect, but where's the softness? now livestock guardians are perfect. they blend in with the herd, take them as family all their own, and the teeth come out for anything that threatens their wooly friends.

here i chose the kangal. the daemon needed to be something big and muscled, but not too fluffy or sweet looking. great pyrenees got ruled out for fluffiness, central asian shepherd dog because their faces look just a little too goofy :p kangals win because they're huge and have a resting bitch face. i also like that the breed is from turkey, a bridge between europe and asia, since butler is described as eurasian.

juliet is a hard one, especially since it's been a while since i've read the books where she's a significant character. the key characteristics i associate with her are strength, extroversion, glitz, and unconventionality, particularly in family expectations. so, my two thoughts:

my first thought was to pair juliet with a wild cat. i think it creates a nice juxtaposition between the butler family expectations of service to the fowl household and her choice to strike out on her own. the same way wild cats may look so much like our pets at home, may not even be physically imposing, but are still dangerous predators. i like caracals specifically because they're a bit stockier in build, and also the ear tufts make them eye-catching like juliet's wrestling outfits :p

not as much thought in choosing the rainbow stag beetle as another option, except that i wanted another option because feline doesn't feel like a 100% fit for juliet to me. "rainbow" stag beetle because jade princess, and a stag beetle because they look tough but mostly they just like to show off (not that juliet isn't actually tough, but she's more interested in the performance than viciousness or sadism.)

Mildly unhinged 1 am thought: dealing with the fowls for fairies must be like dealing with villagers for minecraft players

Incredibly frustrating and disagreeable but also vitally necessary little creatures with important but annoying skills.

And you hate this awful little thing, it’s so infuriating and it just REFUSES to cooperate, it knows that you need it and it uses that to charge astronomically high prices.

But you have to be nice to it, cause if you aren’t, not only will it hike up it’s already ridiculous prices, but the Indestructible, freakishly strong and fast GIANT that follows it around and seems to spawn out of nowhere will SMITE YOU air you so much as flick the annoying little shite.
