✨ Alysa ✨

When can I see you again? I've been waiting out here for so long and I Don't seem to find the resolve To keep building these castles out of snow

They only melt away When spring is arriving and guilt will be here Waiting to drag me down into your pond

You bury me slowly, you bury me slowly "Take what you can" (Tim) "Give what you don't need" (Angeline) Still I'll let it be known in every parish You are loved, you are loved...

When, Susanne Sundfør

(the bold parts are not the exact lyrics, but what I personally hear)

If Artemis has even only one (1) song that sounds even remotely like that in the musical, to express how he feels about his parents, I'll be a happy woman There is just such a beautifully dark and melancholic undertone throughout this entire book series to me, and I'm so terrified that a musical will not be able to do it justice...

I'll be honest - the only things I know you enjoy are Artemis Fowl and figure skating. So... either of those two things for the fandom asks?

I didn’t think I’d get asked about figure skating, so you know what ? Let’s try that !!

the character i least understand WHY have Guignard/Fabbri and their team persisted with these two god-awful programs for the entire season is beyond me.

interactions i enjoyed the most Kaori Sakamoto and Alysa Liu’s hug at the end of 2025 Worlds temporarily cured my depression <3

the character who scares me the most No surprises here but Eteri Tutberidze needs to be held accountable for all the girls she broke - some of whom we will never know the names. That’s honestly terrifying.

the character who is mostly like me I don’t know any of these skaters personally, and I don’t want to venture into disrespectful territory by pretending that I do. But Alysa Liu’s ‘Promise’ short program has resonated with me deeply - it’s obviously very personal to her, yet the lyrics and the character she portrays also leave enough room for the spectator to interpret with their own feelings. The best comeback program ever.

hottest looks character I don’t go there :)

one thing i dislike about my fave character Kaori, your lutz :’(

one thing i like about my hated character Nothing to like about Tutberidze.

a quote or scene that haunts me The aftermath of the Women’s free skating at Beijing 2022 was just horrible to witness. It was my first time following the Olympics and that almost made me quit watching sports altogether. Thank Frond Kaori was here.

a death that left me indifferent Speaking only about programs here, for obvious reasons. I don’t remember which of Conti/Macii or Carreira/Ponomarenko’s Carmen program ends with the most ridiculous and pathetic Carmen death pose I have ever witnessed, but… yeah, that one. It’s just ugly, and also I can’t stand Carmen programs.

a character i wish died but didn’t Will not answer this one :)

my ship that never sailed Not a ship (again, because we are talking about actual living people), but the “what if” of Worlds 2020 still makes me pause and wonder five years later. Would have Sasha Trusova had a clean free ? Would have Alena Kostornaia faltered after her perfect debut season ? Would have Anna Shcherbakova prevailed with her mentality of steel ? I SO wish I could just take a glimpse at this alternate timeline to see what would have happened to these three girls, had these Worlds taken place.

If this isn't on your list of funniest scenes in any movie ever, the only conclusion I can draw is you haven't seen this movie

Eheh, I’m happy I managed to surprise you with my answer ! But out of curiosity, I’d love to know what character you were expecting here ? :3 I didn’t have the faith to crawl out of bed to search my books, but I had noticed this discrepancy between book 1 and TAC, yes :/ Oh well, another instance of Eoin Colfer’s tumultuous relationship with lore consistency ^^ I completely agree about the different treatment Artemis seems to have received from his father, it’s also my interpretation :) I just wish it was expanded more on, because this premise is so fascinating to me - if Grandfather Fowl was this much nicer with his grandson, then how did Tim feel and react about that ?! Why doesn’t he reflect more about this in TEC ?!! Why doesn’t Artemis think more about his grandfather, the stories he was told, how different or similar he was to his own father ?!!!!! GAAAAAAH this is so frustrating :’(( As for my headcanons on master Arcand Fowl the Third… Maybe someday ;)

🎤 Character you least understand?

That’s such a tricky question to answer, depending on how you interpret “understand”. Thank you for asking ! After pondering for a bit, I think I’ll say Artemis’ grandfather. What I don’t understand about this person, is why we know so absolutely little about him, when he should be SO important to explain why Tim became Tim, and thus how Artemis became Artemis. The little we do know about this grandfather just feels off and weird to me. Basically, he’s only truly mentioned three times : - In book 1, Angeline mistakes Artemis for his grandfather, and talks to him extremely fondly and casually, even calling him (in the French version at least) by the most informal term possible to adress a grandparent/FIL ; indicating a very warm and soft relationship ? Though it might just be her psychotic episode distorting the actual truth of how they interacted ? - Then Tim, in TEC, claims that his father only treated him as a businessman and barely knew him as a person ; if his relationship with his father was so cold and distant, why would Angeline show this man such kindness, when we know how fierly protective she is of the ones she loves ? - And then, in TAC Artemis recalls a fond memory of spending time in his grandfather’s workshop. Sure it might be Angeline’s father in this memory but I don’t think it is. I feel like Tim’s father deserved to be a much more prominent, menacing shadow, even being long dead before the start of the first book. I would have loved to know more about him (like, I don’t know, a name would have been nice ^^”), but that’s also just me wanting to know more about the Fowl family in general. The good thing here at least, is that there is such little lore that it gives a lot of leeway for headcanons 😈 And oh, how many do I have about this man 😈

I was actually in a relatively okay mood today, and then Macron nominated a prime minister and now I want to die o/ How the Frond is this legal is beyond me.

💅🏻 Mullet!Juliet origin story 💅🏻 ... which is : Holly visited while Samsonetta was away, they watched some replays of the fairy sport that I don't know the name of in English ('croqueballe' in French) ; then Juliet showed Holly a few monuments of human cinema (namely, Bloodsport and Samurai Cop)... and they just decided to cut Juliet's hair 💚

I just wanted more Juliet and Holly friendship, we were robbed in canon. I'm happy with their expressions, not so fond of the background but I rarely do backgrounds ever so that's not that bad I guess.

Woke up this morning randomly thinking about this classical music and ballet tv competition that we watch with my family during Winter holidays ; last Christmas, there was a little flutist girl among the finalists who, when asked what she'd want to do with the cash prize, immediately said 'I WANT TO BUY A GOLD FLUTE BECAUSE I ALWAYS DREAMED OF HAVING ONE !! :D' And at that moment I simultaneously thought "hell yeah girl boss", and "... Artemis ? Is that you ?" Hence, this drawing :3

Juliet would obviously be very much into Chappell Roan, and I suspect Butler would too. But I feel the one song that Artemis would really tolerate being blasted full force during car rides is 'Good Luck Babe'. Because there's NO way in hell he resists the chance to sing-yell 🎶✨"I TOLD YOU SOOO"✨🎶 at the top of his lungs like the petty princess he is 💅🏻

Had the passing thought the other day of like… that one scene in TEC where Fowl Senior has just woken up and Artemis immediately begins rattling off stuff about the family finances and like… I know how people usually interpret that scene but hear me out:

Artemis immediately doing so because he’s a kid and he’s been essentially all alone trying to keep all their finances secure (to save his father in the first place) and he’s worked so hard on it, and like… when a kid needs someone to fix something, who do they usually turn to first? A parent.

So Artemis starts rattling it off like “great we can both work on this now, cause now my dad’s here” and then five minutes later he’s thinking “shit!! my father’s doesn’t want to fix it!!”
