@orangerosebush's post here, with my comment and @fowlblue's tags today got me thinking.

Artemis Senior has been teaching his son matters of business from a young age. Not only was Artemis, at 11 years old, discussing stocks with his father, but Fowl Senior had been imparting his wisdom onto his son for years by that point, discussing the ever-increasing value of gold with him before tucking him into bed. Even outside of pure monetary value, Sr. had tried to go legitimate with his business dealings, leading Artemis to have a few legal ventures of his own.

We also see very early on in the books that Artemis has been regularly using Butler as a resource for his plots: bouncing ideas off him was apparently a fairly common tactic when he was scheming.

Both Artemis Senior and Butler are interested in (or at least, not opposed to) educating Artemis on the ways of their lifestyle(s). It would be Artemis Senior who would have taught his son the value of banks and safety deposit boxes and hidden safes but it was Butler who was actively working with Artemis to rob those safety deposit boxes.

In the same vein of breaking-and-entering, TLC also gives us the fun little moment where Butler hands Artemis his own lockpicks, to get into the workings of the bomb.

With one line we learn that Artemis knows how to pick locks, but does not have his own set of lockpicks. Butler, on the other hand, has both the tools and knowledge how to use them. Partnered with a brief mention in TTP of some the specific trades of those previously employed by Artemis Senior (including such things as crime lords, insider traders, and cat burglars), we can extrapolate that Artemis Senior would generally hire someone to pick a lock for him, rather than do so himself.

It's pretty logical to conclude then that Artemis learned big-picture management from his father, and day-to-day skillsets from his bodyguard.

Essentially, Artemis Senior taught Artemis how to run a criminal empire. Butler taught Artemis how to be a criminal.

I need a bookcase for my new apartment!

I want the antique mahogany bookcase with elaborate carving

I can afford the antique mahogany bookcase with elaborate carving (it's actually a steal)!

the antique mahogany bookcase with elaborate carving is in Gloucester and I live in Boston an hour's drive away. and I haven't driven in eight years

Every day I think about the Australian rental car guy who tells Colt his car is "one of only two" and tells him to drive carefully because apparently stuntmen "seek to destroy everything he loves"

and then Colt absolutely demolishes the car in a high-speed chase on the Sydney Bridge

. . . <- about to keel over.

landlord did not send me the lease until today. i signed it and have done everything except pay the prorated rent. they wont give me access to the apartment until i pay. however, the amount they're asking for is based off the full rental amount and not based on what should be my portion. i dont know what my portion will exactly be, the housing people haven't told me. emailed the housing people, i get an autoresponse "hey we're closed today! we'll respond next business day (monday) (day after ur supposed to move)." this is funny to me, bc landlord had to send the signed lease over to the housing people and housing people sent me a form earlier today, so like. someone *was* working.
