#i also don't remember what arctic incident and opal deception even are

[artificialkids-2k23-official]

I actually was in the Artemis Fowl fandom, insofar as I was able to be in any fandom, when I was in high school... but there were only I think four books out at that point.

Stealing this, which is wild because I'm awful at doing tag games.

Thank you thank you thank you for tagging me for my fic, though! That made me feel so good, you don't even know

1. I really like Minerva. Contrary to what Colfer says, I think she would have been a great addition to the cast to contrast Artemis. If you (over)analyze her lines and scenes and such, she is very clearly different from Artemis in a way that would play off him very nicely, even if it's just for a chapter at a time

2. There are a lot of little moments that I love. Single paragraphs or tiny dialog exchanges that really stick with me. Orion saying "I think I am sad, now. We have lost a friend" lives in my head rent free

3. Probably a pixie, maybe a sprite

4. I honestly don't read as much AF fic as I do other fandoms, but I will probably dig through everyone's responses here for recs

5. Best to worst is different from favorite to least favorite, so here we go

-Eternity Code

-The first one

-Lost Colony

-Temporal Paradox

-Opal Deception (probably)

-Arctic Incident

-Last Guardian

-Atlantis Complex

I haven't read TOD and TAI in a while so it's possible they deserve to be higher. TAC is my favorite book in the series but it's also the worst one, so :/

6. To any of them but mostly to Artemis: Go to therapy. Please. Find someone who isn't bad at their job and actually try to engage. Therapy works if you allow yourself to be helped

7. Artemis has a physical disability after the end of the last book. General pain/fatigue/mobility issues that come and go and don't necessarily fit under a single diagnosis (maybe fibro?) He has crutches and a wheelchair for different days based on how he's feeling, and though he has some internalized ableism to get over, he is generally pretty accepting of himself

8. Does all of TAC count? Because basically all of TAC. I wish Orion wasn't comic relief, I wish Artemis hadn't been """cured""" in sixth months, I wish I wish I wish. Colfer, please do any amount of research into DID, OCD, and all the other mental illnesses you mixed together to make Atlantis-ex-machina

9. Saying book 1 Artemis doesn't count probably excludes book 6 Artemis (young) and maybe also Minerva, so I guess Spiro? It's been a hit second since I've read TEC but I remember enjoying him a lot. I also wish Turnball was in a better book. He had a lot of interesting potential with the runes and the way he interacts with his wife

10. Golly that was ages ago and I do not remember. I do remember being in, like, elementary school and seeing the first book lying around the house and mentally connecting the surname Fowl to the teacher in Jimmy Neutron and being uninterested because of that. The cover was plain gold so I had no idea what it was about, and I finally actually picked it up and looked at the back (which just had the "you don't know what you're dealing with, human" on it) and realizing it was very silly to think there would be an entire book about a minor character from an okay TV show, so I finally read it and fell in love with the series

I'll throw on @shortace @artemis-fowl-incident-report (Gaby specifically) @emmas-cozy-nook and @iesnoth (Zoe, you already got tagged but I tagged you in my heart)
