In case u can't read my crap handwriting:
Alx :Artemis...
Artms: I'll miss u...
Alx: Its going to be ok i promise
Im not losing u again.
Alx: Artemis??
Artms: wait wait wait , is that mud on my shoes?
Artms: Oh hell nah its bad enough im dying with messy hair , this is unacceptable.
Headcanon that Nimona popped up to help Ballister before the actual scene where she introduces herself to him.
Ballister loses an arm, wich could result in his death, and hurts pretty damn much, and nimona just shows up and takes care of him in his early days. she has lived 1000+ years, and probably has gotten hurt a lot, so she just knows how to take care of injuries.
Imagine Ballister wanted to get somewhere safe, passes out in some street from pain, nimona takes him there, helps stop the bleeding, gives him painkillers, cleans the wound, etc.
And Ballister doesn't remember any of that. He remembers those memories shadowed with pain and blurred by painkiller drugs, he just prefers not to ever think about them.
I-
THANK YOU?!
After years of knowing about it but never knowing what was actually in it, I have finally acquired a copy of the rare 2008 UK promotional book “Who is Artemis Fowl?”
I was very excited to get my hands on it, as there was the possibility of exclusive content! To lay eyes on official AF content that I’ve never seen before, in 2022? Very exciting. Join me as I explore this tiny treasure!
First, a little background info on this thing can be found at: artemis-fowl.com/the-books/artemis-fowl-book/
So, it is quite small and thin, being a free promotional item included in a magazine. It’s got 64 pages, and is roughly 4x7 inches in size (11x18 cm).
The bulk of the pages are devoted to short extracts from all 6 (at the time) Artemis Fowl books. It came out before Time Paradox released; it has a little blurb at the end advertising that book as releasing soon, in August 2008.
The extracts are: Book 1: The brief prologue, plus the scene where Artemis enters Angeline’s bedroom and she has the mannequin of Timmy. Book 2: The scene right near the beginning where Artemis views the ransom video message on his laptop. Book 3: The scene where Holly agrees to heal Butler. Book 4: The scene after Holly saves Artemis from the hotel missile and they talk. Book 5: The opening scene where Artemis swaps fingers. Book 6: The exchange of money for lemur between Little Arty and Kronski in the leather souk, cutting off just as Holly and Artemis go in to intervene.
There is also a short extract from the original 2007 graphic novel. It’s the first few pages of the Holly intro chapter, printed in black & white.
The extracts are all well and good, but I was of course most interested in the prospect of exclusive content. And there is indeed some stuff that isn’t found anywhere else!
-A multiple-choice quiz on the characteristics of the different fairy species, with some very amusing wrong answers. -A list of Artemis’ top 10 heroic moments (according to Eoin, I guess?). Not sure what the point of this is. I guess it’s just to hype up Time Paradox, since it wasn’t out yet but it’s included in the list. -A bit from Matt (of AFC website fame) saying why the series is so special, interspersed with other fan testimonials. -A promo for the “2008 LAFTA Awards” that was held on the AF website(?). Lol.
But the most exciting part of this little book, in my opinion? Official illustrations from Giovanni Rigano (graphic novel guy) are included in the Time Paradox extract! There are 3 illustrations, and they’re exclusive to this little book. I had no idea that this existed. We now have official art of the lovely human being known as Damon Kronski!
I am including images of the book’s exclusive content for your viewing pleasure, which I’ve never seen shared online before (though I could be wrong). Since this book is evidently rare and elusive, I think it’s important that this stuff be accessible in the public record. There’s nothing mind-blowing or earth-shattering here, but I think it’s still pretty neat! Now we know what’s in this thing!

Made this in my diary last night
Stop whitewashing Holly Short
I feel like I have to have this talk somewhere outside my head.
I, a 14 year old teenager of color, have always loved Holly Short.
She was described as powerful, with features like a hooked nose, and a dark skin, that made her beautiful. Things that I have always been insecure about, teased for, insulted for, were what made her beautiful.
The powerful woman, who fought sexism and always did the right thing, IMMEDIATELY became my comfort character.
I started to feel better about myself. Draw portraits with my favourite features in my self exaggerated in them. I loved my own features, because she had them.
And then, after reading the whole series and loving it, came the thirst for content. Content in wich, Holly Short, was always whitwashed.
So many fanart, official comics, covers, the goddamn movie! In all of them, Holly wasn't how i imagined her to be. The fact punches me every time. Her skin, her features, are FLAWS that people just prefer to erase from her character.
I still remember how sad i got when i first was raving to a friend about Holly and she said 2 my face how she thought she would be prettier if she were white.
Whitewashing Holly is basically saying the same thing.
Many may go, "whatever, who gives a shit about her color".
But things like this are what make teenagers, kids, like me back at the time, insecure and hating themselves because of simply simply being born the way they are born.
Have some last guardian crap
Remember how shes close to Jack, Imma make some good angst out of that😂
Wip of my take on artemis's children:
First born kid is Aurora Julius Fowl Rider (yes her middle name is after Root, that made Holly tear up.) but everyone calls her Jack or Jacky. The nickname came from a time in her childhood when she wanted to be a pirate like captian Jack Sparrow and Alex started calling her little Jacky and it kinda stuck. Shes got brown eyes and black hair. Shes kind of a mix of both Artemis and Alex. Is very athletic, also very intelligent. Shes obsessed with guns, and builds her own high tech guns. She grew up very close to Holly and also wanted to be an police officer just like her. She takes a lot of risks, loves to party and of course, shes gay.
She graduated academy a few years early and kicked criminals' asses in New York City since she was 16. She also worked as a spy for LEP.
+i just need to add some angst, she dies in her twentis.
Ill be posting about the next two children too.
