Angelina: It’s nice of you to drop by, Holly.
Holly: I was on my way back from completing the ritual. And someone has to keep a close eye on you, humans.  You always go mad - well, madder - this time of year. It’s all those holidays you have squashed together. Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s...
Artemis: You missed out Diwali. Speaking of, I made samosas in Food Tech. I’m quite proud of them.Try one?
Holly: Ha ha - oh, you’re serious.....Oh,oh, would you believe it? An emergency call! A cat wandered into a shuttle port. I must fly immediately. See ya!
Artemis: I’ll have you know that I earned a C + and five credits for those samosas!...she’s gone....Mother, would you -
Angelina: Is my phone ringing? Yes, I think it is. I better go and answer it.
Artemis:...Alone again....

Rotten tomatoes was never place for objective opinions and highly politicized. To often films with bad rating can turn out good and vice versa. User verified score highly manipulated too, studios by our seats and leaving reviews by bots. Score not change at all from 100 reviews to 5000+ like try find someone who will believe this. I saw film and it's definitely not 95% and not 50% all audience score truth something in between. Cinema score and IMDb usually much closer but this time ppl there just tired from Disney cash grab and race swap instead of creating own black characters. Nobody there against black panther or miles morales if u look bo tracking. Just food for the mind. Disney will lose money on this one and unfortunately for Halle she was great.

That can definitely be true.

That's probably true, but I'm more likely to believe the "verified" reviews from people they can prove that actually SAW the movie, and aren't just rating the movie w/out seeing it because they're haters. 🙄
Cinema score and IMDb usually much closer
IMDB.com is highly manipulated as well. Just look at the graph of the ratings on certain films. For a lot of "Black" films, the graph doesn't resemble a bell curve (like most normal graphs), but more so resembles a field goal.
but this time ppl there just tired from Disney cash grab and race swap instead of creating own black characters.
Funny how people are just NOW tired of Disney's "cash grab", when just about EVERY single movie that Disney puts out is for a "cash grab".
Tumblr media
Nobody there against black panther or miles morales if u look bo tracking.
First of all, a mermaid is a fictional and mythical character. It's not real. Nor is Ariel real. Funny how nobody has any issues when white actors have played people of color in certain films:
Scarlett Johansson - Ghost in the Shell
Rooney Mara - Pan
Katherine Hepburn - Dragon Seed
John Wayne - The Last Conqueror
Ben Affleck - Argo
Fred Astaire - Bojangles of Harlem
Majority of the Cast - 21
Lara McDonnell - Artemis Fowl
Liam Neeson - Batman Begins
Kris Kristofferson - Blade I & Blade II
Laurence Olivier - Othello
Majority of the Cast - Exodus: Gods and kings
Mickey Rooney - Breakfast at Tiffany's
Angelina Jolie - A Mighty Heart
Just to name a few.....
See..... Y'all don't seem to be upset when it's the other way around....even when the film is about ACTUAL real people in history. 😒
Just food for the mind. Disney will lose money on this one and unfortunately for Halle she was great.
Disney hasn't lost a single thing. The movie JUST made nearly $180 million it's FIRST opening weekend, and is the 5th highest-grossing film for Memorial Day Weekend at the box office lol. 😅
It's not a flop by any means. It's not going to gross as much as an MCU/Marvel movie, but I predict that it's going to make back what it took to make the film and more.

TAG GAME
10 characters from 10 fandoms (in no particular order) tagged by @beardedblack thank you darling
its actually really hard to think of 10 i had to come back to this like 3 times lol
1. Edward Teach, OFMD (90% of the active blogs that follow me are ofmd blogs so I don't think I need to explain this one lol. also just to weigh in on beardgate he's def hotter with it, sorry besties. imagine running your fingers thru it and tell me im wrong)
Tumblr media
2. Dean Winchester, Supernatural (bc i used to be spn trash and that shit is hard to shake off completely, also he's the best character to make cry or bleed sorry i don't make the rules. also the most bisexual character ever created don't @ me)
Tumblr media
3. Ezio Auditore, Assassin's Creed (mainly out of nostalgia bc AC2 was my gateway into fandom/shipper culture and my first time writing proper fanfics (ie not dumb quizilla stories about my chemical romance lmfao, if you're old enough to remember quizilla hello fellow olds). also bi af, him and fucking Leonardo da Vinci were my first OTP)
Tumblr media
4. Lara Croft, Tomb Raider (on the subject of video games I gotta give Lara proper credit for 1. representing badass women in games, especially in the 90s and 2. being what in retrospect was clearly my first gay crush, compounded by bicon Angelina Jolie playing her in the movie 😳🥵)
Tumblr media
5. Buffy Summers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with honorary mention to Spike (following on the theme of badass women, Buffy needs no explanation. also Spike gets a mention bc of how in love with him i was when i was like 12 lol)
Tumblr media
6. Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean (speaking of people i was in love with, potc kick-started a Johnny Depp obsession when I was a teen and I still think he's one of the best characters ever. also proof I've always loved pirates)
Tumblr media
7. Guybrush Threepwood, Monkey Island (before Stede came along he was the og loveable cringefail pirate wannabe. also the monkey island games are so good and make me think of my nan who was cool af and the reason i found monkey island in the first place. also maybe loving pirates is hardwired into me?)
Tumblr media
8. Eowyn and Arwen, LOTR (can't choose bc in retrospect they were both early Gay Crushes(tm) and Badass Woman representation, don't think I need say more)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
9. Holly Short, Artemis Fowl (realised I hadn't included any book characters so here's another one included for nostalgia's sake (avoiding HP). Holly is a badass making her way in a male dominated field and constantly kicking ass. also she's an elf, so.
10. Sybil Vimes, Discworld (also a badass, but more importantly the fact that she was fat but also still totally cool and Worthy of Love, thank you Terry Pratchett (gnu))
this was really fun to do but also made it apparent that i have a type which is 1. Badass and/or 2. Pirate. so um yeah, do with that info what you will.
gonna tag @littletugtinytug and @jellybeanium124 and anyone else that feels like playing ☺️

Angelina Fowl thinking Artemis isn’t her son still really hurts. I know she mistakes him for her father later on and I don’t really know which is worse

Willow locking herself away and spiriling deeper into depression due to the disappearance of a loved one is such a parralel to Angelina Fowl that I cannot!
Besides any possible coincidences, you must admit, it would make a very good nod to the books.

"Back in time" for Psyche and Rockwell, some moments after she was forced to run, please!
From this
Little fingers stretch across the strings of the guitar, straining to reach and pluck at them. She's determined though, tongue poking out between her teeth as she sits sprawled out on her bed. Undoubtedly, the little girl struggling to practice with her instrument is Psyche. She's young, maybe about nine or ten. Her hair is a light shade of orange than it is presently - the color of a growing flame trails far down her back and fans out on the bed all around her. Her golden eyes are so big and so lively, even now as they squint in frustration. She strums idly at the instrument before tuning it and returning to playing a simple melody on it and humming along.
"I'm so young and restless..." she mumbles under her breath. She seems to find her groove, beginning to play freely and singing along. It's powerful. Passionate. She pauses for a moment, cheeks flushing as she notices someone in the doorway. Angelina Takamura stands from where she was leaning in the frame and comes to sit beside her.
"You're getting pretty good at that."
"Thanks," Psyche accepts the compliment shyly, looking down as Angelina begins to play with her hair. "Still think I could be better at it though."
"Hey, don't sell yourself short. No one gets good in a day. And besides, you haven't played in a while. Haven't been able to."
"Yeah..." Psyche's gaze grows distant, her expression saddening. "I don't think I'm very good at this training thing. Not cut out as a warrior Phoenix I guess."
"Like I said, no one gets good in a day. And besides, our goal is not to make you a warrior, Psych. Our goal is just to make sure you can defend yourself. We're not expecting you to take up service in the war after this."
"Could always use more fighters though." The firebird commented, swinging her legs over the edge of the bed. "Humans are ruthless."
"Yeah," Angelina sat up, patting Psyche's shoulder and swinging her legs over the edge to mirror her. "They sure are..."
---
"So, fish face, what's new in the water?"
Flotsam scoffed at Psyche's nickname for him, looking at her as she came to lean against the bar beside him. She was still fairly young. Perhaps just a few years younger than she was now.
"Fancy seeing you here, feathers? Got a mark in town?"
"Nah actually, I came lookin' for you." She raised a hand to get the bar hand's attention. "Two Red Hot Passions."
"Drinking? This early? Rookie mistake, tweets." Sam joked, turning to face her.
"Isn't that what you're doing?" The firebird shot back as their drinks arrived. She was quick to grab her glass and down a sip. Sam rolled his eyes as he followed suit.
"Fair enough. Just don't get too comfortable, Psych. You're still new to this game." He paused. "What did you need me for?"
Psyche smirked. "Came to take you up on that offer. Like you said, we worked pretty well together. Figured I could come and see where else we might be compatible."
Sam chuckled, running his tongue over his teeth as he looked her over again. "Yeah? Well, damn, you picked a hell of a time to show up."
"Why? You busy on a job?"
"Something like that. I'm on the clock to get out of tail. Mob's on my tail again and looking to put me in a sushi roll. Gotta cross state lines before they find out where I'm sitting."
"Shouldn't be too hard. I know you travel light. Let me fly you out of here."
"Ha, very funny." The Axie snarked, sipping his drink.
"I'm serious." She nodded, looking at him.
"So what? You proposing we dine and dash."
"Sure, if you're into the risk of being caught." She wagged her eyebrows, a sultry smile clinging to her lip as she pulled another sip from her drink.
"You filthy fowl." Flotsam laughed, sitting a bit closer. "You've got a deal. We'll head back to mine after this then. I don't have much packing to do."
"You mean you we're gonna spend all day fucking on every surface at your apartment, hop in my car, head south until we pass the border, then crash at the first motel we find so we can fuck whatever else is left out of each other and pass out?"
"Damn, you've got this down." Flotsam chuckled again, setting down his empty glass. "This another one of the services you offer?"
"On the contrary, you should consider yourself lucky." She mused, setting her empty glass down next to his along side some cash. "We heading out then?"
Flotsam stood up, gesturing for her to follow. "Yeah, let's go."
---
This is the Psyche he's come to know and recognize. But somethin's off. It still doesn't feel up to date. Her hair is quite a bit shorter than it is now. It's down and she's laying in bed, embraced warmly and protectively by a much bigger Mythic than herself. One hand loops around her to rest on her back, rubbing small circles on it with his thumb. The other is combing idly through her hair. He breathes out low and smiles as she stirs against his chest.
"Morning, sunshine." She laughs softly at the nickname, her warm palm resting against his chest. She leans up to kiss his chin.
"Hey, Gus. Fancy seeing you here."
"Yeah? I'd reckon that this has become my bed as much as yours these last few months." He nuzzles into the crown of her head, sniffing several times and purring at the scent he finds.
"Mmm, what time is it?" Psyche yawns, trying to push herself up and away from him. The minotaur grumbles in discontent and glances over at the clock on her night stand.
"Going on twelve. Why?"
"Shit, I'm gonna be late." Psyche pushes herself up with a bit more energy, neglecting how the bed sheets fall off her body and leave her naked as she moved to the edge of the mattress. Gus sits up, letting the covers pool around his hips as he watches her.
"Late? For what? Where ya goin'?" he moos softly, watching as Psyche steps into her bathroom and begins wiping herself down and washing her face with hot water before applying her makeup. It's not the clean, elegant way she usually does it. She doesn't put any jewelry on either.
"Got a job. Gotta get going."
"You sure about that?" Gus eyes the bandages wrapped around her side warily. "You don't look like you're in any condition to go looking for people to put down."
Psyche pauses where she's stepping across the room, running a comb through her hair and turning to look at him with a coy smirk. "Took you just fine last night, didn't I?"
Gus sighs at her joke, unamused. "I'm serious, Psyche. You push yourself too hard and I'm worried it's going to get you hurt. Even worse than that." He pointed towards her bandaging and she subconsciously turned away from him to try and hide it from view.
"I'll be fine, Gus," she said dismissively, tugging on her pants from the night prior, a fresh shirt, and a jacket. But it's different. It's not the one she always wears.
"Psyche-"
"Hey," she cut him off, coming to kneel on the bed in front of him. "I'll be careful. Promise. And when I get back..." She giggled, trailing her fingers up his arm and pressing a soft kiss to his lips. "Then you can dote on me all you want, alright?"
He hums like he's about to protest but she kisses him again, quieting him. He reaches up to touch her cheek, wanting to pull her closer when she draws back. He trails his fingertips along her jaw.
"Take it easy, will ya?" He whispers, resting his forehead against hers as he looks into her eyes. "I worry about you so much."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah... I know how you are. Always so angry and bitter and hurting. I'm real worried one of these days, I'm gonna lose you to all that hate in your heart." His voice is soft and sincere. "Psyche... you gotta let it go."
Her hand comes up to rest on his as she leans into his palm. His fingers leave her face to hold onto hers and he sulks as she sighs and shakes her head.
"You know I can't. Not after what they did to me. To us. Maybe one day I'll learn to be like you. To finally forgive all of it and let go. But today is not that day."
"I know..." Gus says with recognition, watching as she pulls away to grab her purse and walk out. After she's gone he hangs his head and whispers again. "I know."

Notes on the Artemis Fowl movie by yours truly.
Bear in mind I wrote these while watching the movie. There’s a lot of them.
1. If you think the police and/or reporters would ever be anywhere near fowl manor you’re wrong.
2. Mulch isn’t bad so far but he’d never be caught by police. 
3. Is our first introduction to Artemis him running? I think not thank you very much. 
4. Plus it looks like he’s going to do some water sport. Also wrong.
5. Surfing!!??!!?
6. Artemis doesn’t have even close to the coordination to do that.
7. I don’t even think he knows how to swim. 
8. He doesn’t love Ireland.
9. Of course he doesn’t love school! Have you seen his teachers’ remarks on him? They aren’t nice.
10. It was a boys-only school but that’s definitely one of the smaller offenses.
11. He did do the chess thing if I recall correctly.
12. Same for the opera house.
13. He didn’t clone a goat or name anything Bruce.
14. Unusual is an understatement. 
15. Dr. Po?!
16. Fake chair! Yeah!
17. That exchange from the Arctic incident wasn’t a bad choice to include. Too early though I think. We’ll see how the rest of the movie goes. 
18. He’s got blue eyes. At least there’s that.
19. He doesn’t have a biography!
20. His mom isn’t dead! Disney is just scared of showing mental illness.
21. If you think Angelina Fowl can’t control Artemis you’re wrong. She calls him Arty for god’s sake. He loves his mom.
22. Mysterious absences my ass. He’s the one that should be presumed dead.
23. “This is a sensitive area doctor” sure.
24. Fake chair ftw. 
25. The burden of his father’s name?! He’s proud of that name.
26. This scene wasn’t so bad. We’ll see how the rest of the movie fairs.
27. Who does he think he is? He Artemis freaking Fowl!
28. Skateboarding! I’m about to have an aneurysm.
29. Also, why is he wearing jeans? Get this man a suit!
30. He did not like being at home with his dad. Not in the first book anyway. His parent being out of the way allowed him to do what he did.
31. His dad’s actor looks good for the part.
32. His father is a criminal. World-famous. He did not just deal with antiques and rarities.
33. His dad also didn’t care for fairytales.
34. Music’s nice I guess. 
35. Why is arty wearing a hoodie?! He would never!
36. Artemis was not taught about fairies. He discovered them himself with basically no help.
37. So much physical contact between Artemis sr. and jr. No.
38. His dad did not believe in any such legends.
39. They shared only a passion for crime and that didn’t even last.
40. He wasn’t determined about any such thing. See point 36.
41. He wasn’t preparing Artemis for anything like that.
42. Fairy stones? What are those?
43. There was no peace made between humans and fairies.
44. Tuatha De Danaan? What is that?
45. Artemis would want to get to the point I guess.
46. His work was not coming to an end. What is going on? Can we meet Holly soon?
47. I’m ten minutes in and suffering.
48. Artemis wasn’t really one to smile unless things were going his way.
49. You are a child! You are still a kid! You’re like a literal baby still!
50. The whole point of him being 12 in the books was that he could still believe in magic as well as science. Wtf is going on?
51. I do know the Hill of Tara.
52. I take issue with “all I really want is to believe in you” but I don’t have time to get into it here.
53. He’s still wearing a hoodie. >:(
54. Hugging his dad. No.
55. I will accept the helicopter on the front lawn if only because it seems one thing that could’ve happened in the books. 
56. Where are the Butlers? Why are neither of the fowls being guarded? I need more Juliet and Butler in this movie NOW.
57. And Holly.
58. Pretty sure they don’t have a lighthouse. Also, pretty sure fowl manor wasn’t next to the ocean.
59. Might’ve been near a Forrest. I don’t quite remember.
60. Legos?! LEGOS?!??!!
61. Also, star wars? I don’t think Artemis has ever seen a sci-fi movie. He’s too busy making them a reality.
62. Artemis would also not sleep with a book.
63. Why did Butler’s name in the subtitles appear as Domovoi? You know there’s a whole thing about his name and why Arty doesn’t know it right?
64. So his dad disappeared. Not bad. A little late but okay.
65. Everyone has already aired their grievances about Butlers actor so I shall refrain from doing so as well. I’ll just say one word and leave it at that. Eurasian.
66. Also, fowl manor doesn’t look bad. I can accept this house.
67. No no no. No one should be calling him Domovoi. Only Butler.
68. Also, that isn’t the training he had.
69. He is the butler though? I mean. Only sort of but like. ???
70. No. You could not call him Dom or Domovoi. 
71. Very large man in a suit is slightly acceptable.
72. He could totally snap you in half but not without good reason. Come on, guys. He’s a nice guy. Scary, but nice.
73. Like, the dude cooks and gardens and whatnot. How is that not nice?
74. Also, I’m still hung up on the goat thing. Like I don’t deny that he could clone a goat but why on earth would he name it Bruce. Is it a Batman reference or something? I don’t understand this movie.
75. World wide manhunt? Pardon my doubt.
76. Superyacht? Owl star?
77. I get it. It’s a stupid pun.
78. I guess the South China Sea is close enough to Russia.
79. Again. Not an antiquities dealer.
80. Robberies? He ran a criminal empire!
81. Not sure how one would go about stealing the Rosetta Stone or why but sure.
82. I’ve never even heard of Boru’s Harp.
83. Nor the book of kells.
84. Why are you calling Butler Dom???
85. Yes! He is a criminal mastermind! Thank you for slightly acknowledging that!
86. Also, Artemis is not that rash.
87. He’s your dad and a criminal.
88. Why must Disney do this to my boy? He was an incredible character, smart, cunning, and a criminal and now he’s just a sort of smart kid. Lame.
89. I swear if this “raspy voice” is opal I will be so disappointed.
90. What is this? Artemis is supposed to be kidnapping fairies, not the other way around!
91. What is this Aculos and why should I care about it?
92. Also, why isn’t it Christmas? You could at least set it in winter. For crying out loud.
93. That isn’t word for word Artemis. I know you can remember it exactly.
94. I’m starting to think Orion is better than this fool.
95. Why is he wearing a hoodie?!??!???!
96. Just going to have a secret basement full of whatever secret stuff shoved in there because of course.
97. Also. As if butler would know about any of this.
98. Bunch of bottles of water. Okay.
99. ‘Cause Artemis Sr. totally knew about the fairies. 
100. This is a stupid basement.
101. I’m so done with this.
102. Ah yes! An important journal! Predictable.
103. Stupid poem. Stupid way of finding the journal.
104. That was opal I see. I’m dying.
105. Beechwood. Isn’t that guy related to Holly or something? Also, not from the books.
106. Yes, Arty fairies exist. Surprising no one.
107. I like how they made the city look I suppose. And they kept the name the same. Of course, it must be noted that not all fairies live in haven. There are other cities.
108. Why is holly a baby? She shouldn’t look like a child. Also, tons of people have already spoken on holly’s appearance as well so I won’t say anymore.
109. Koboi mentioned. It was totally opal.
110. The fairies don’t look bad either. Though I don’t know if the little things are supposed to be goblins or what?
111. I guess not. These goblins also seem way too smart.
112. “You and I would make a great team” foreshadowing.
113. I do think mulch being taller is kinda funny.
114. Briar Cudgeon looks about how I expected. Do you think he’ll get his face melted?
115. Opal and Cudgeon working together. Unsurprising if a bit early.
116. You spy or you die. The CIA’s motto.
117. L.E.P. Recon. Nice.
118. I’m also not going to address the changing of roots gender and the fact that Holly is supposed to be the first female officer because again, many people have spoken at length about that. Still upset though.
119. Kelp and Verbil are around I see.
120. What is the Aculos? Like I get that it’s a weapon by why should I care?
121. Also, I think Root should be smoking.
122. Holly’s father? Why should he matter or even be a part of this?
123. They kept Holly 84. Good.
124. Reinforcements? Juliet?!!!!
125. She’s 12? She’s supposed to be sixteen! No!
126. Niece!!!! She’s supposed to be his sister.
127. Also, screw Disney for changing the fairy alphabet so we can’t read it.
128. Artemis should be able to decode it though. He’s not much of a genius, is he?
129. Foals needs a tinfoil hat and should look way way nerdier.
130. Troll! Time! Yeah!
131. Yeah! Lava chutes!
132. Foaly’s CGI is a little wonky but whatever.
133. So that’s why Holly’s father is important. Stupid.
134. The executors. You mean the council.
135. Don’t just fly over the surface unshielded, you dolt!
136. Butler your camouflage sucks ass.
137. Butler wouldn’t complain.
138. Butler’s eyes are freaking me out. No one’s eyes look like that.
139. The LEP helmets are stupid looking.
140. That isn’t what a troll looks like. Stop it, Disney.
141. Time Stop. Not a time freeze.
142. The magic looks cool.
143. That’s not how a time stop works. But at least it looks cool.
144. I suppose I can accept that’s how they do mind wipes.
145. “This is a strange wedding” is the best joke so far.
146. Why are none of the fairies shielded?
147. Holly has such boring motivation.
148. You shouldn’t just read your dad’s journal Arty. It’s rude.
149. I’m so over arty’s dad already knowing about the fairies as well as this beechwood fellow.
150. Why does this Aculos exist? If it’s so dangerous, why not get rid of it?
151. Opal Koboi. Finally. 
152. Like Arty would ever dress like that. He’d still be wearing a suit and be spotless.
153. “They’re real.” No kidding!
154. Fox!
155. I’m surprised they included trying and succeeding to shoot holly.
156. Kinda wish they’d kept the bury an acorn to get magic thing but small fish and all.
157. Now it’s starting to remind me of the real Artemis Fowl story.
158. Cudgeon is slimy and annoying and I’m here for it.
159. That’s a shitty looking cage.
160. “Not happy” I wonder why?
161. Reflective glasses! Yes! Give me the fowl crew in cringey reflective sunglasses.
162. The Mesmer is done nicely. Love Juliet’s glasses.
163. A flannel and reflective sunglasses. That classic Artemis fowl look.
164. So he did decode their language.
165. The acting isn’t terrible. 
166. Most humans are afraid of gluten how do you think they’d handle goblins is a good line.
167. Again. Not how time stops work but okay.
168. So let me get this right. Instead of the fairy bible which Artemis poisoned a fairy to get they just replaced it with his dad‘s journal. great.
169. Don’t give Artemis a weapon! He’s gonna cut his own arm off!
170. The time freeze does look cool though.
171. I can appreciate them gathering on the beach. That’s kinda cool.
172. Finally a suit! Get this kid properly clothed!
173. Though that tie is a little sus. Why’s it so skinny?
174. That fight scene wasn’t too bad. Again Arty is definitely not supposed to be good at anything physical but it’s whatever.
175. Flair for the dramatic? This is hardly as dramatic as the book.
176. I hate opal’s voice.
177. Waged war on your people? That was 10,000 years ago!
178. Opal’s motives are also super boring.
179. I’m sad we don’t get to see arty practicing his evil smile in the mirror.
180. In one of those pots. From under the rainbow. Fun.
181. Glad they kept the whole while I’m alive stipulation. 
182. Glad to see the goblins still have fire powers.
183. These goblins really shouldn’t be so smart.
184. I hope we get to see mulch unhinge his jaw soon.
185. I do like mulch.
186. This heart to heart is stupid. Artemis wouldn’t trust holly just like that me thinks.
187. I like that mulch is up on all the human pop culture. I do wish he’d make a Gordon Ramsey reference though since he likes him.
188. Mulch not wanting to be tall is excellent character motivation though.
189. Now this is the heart to heart I needed.
190. Is he gonna unhinge his jaw?! I’ve been waiting for this the whole time!
191. Yeah!!!!!!
192. Eat that dirt!
193. Mulch!
194. “What would your parents be?”
195. A really really big dwarf.
196. Sick safe. Nothing mulch can’t handle.
197. That definitely isn’t what I expected from mulch’s hair but that’s okay.
198. Yeah! Holly punched Artemis! Now there just needs to be a lollipop remark.
199. Is that the Aculos? It looks stupid.
200. Also, I do appreciate the inclusion of the iris cam.
201. Opal, you’re so boring.
202. Cudgeon is taking over. Kinda wish it was of his own will because that’s more interesting but whatever.
203. Troll time part two. I doubt butler is going to almost die fighting it. Maybe he’ll wear a suit of armor though. That’d be cool.
204. How is it we’re an hour in and only just now get a d’arvit? Surely many other scenes warranted that.
205. I do like that mulch pickpocketed butler.
206. Don’t just stand in front of the door when A Troll is about to be sent in!
207. The wings do look really cool though.
208. Also, Juliet really shouldn’t be trying to fight a troll.
209. I mean. None of them should but you know.
210. Mulch eating the Aculos is very in character. I’m glad Artemis’s bedroom is being destroyed. It was terrible.
211. While I don’t care for the way the troll looks (Far too human, not enough claws and venom) the amount of destruction it’s causing is appropriate I feel.
212. I guess that’s how the fight can go. 
213. Also, Juliet is so smart and strong yet she can’t pull herself over a ledge? Pathetic.
214. Don’t move butler to a completely different room! He’s got a back injury! You probably just made it worse!
215. Butler isn’t going to die. This is stupid. 
216. Trouble doing the lords work. 
217. I told you butler would be fine.
218. One of the times Butler would nearly die. If we’re following the books then more should follow.
219. Also what is this room they’re in?
220. Butler would not be ashamed to cry.
221. I’m living for everyone’s reactions to where mulch stored the Aculos.
222. I like the way it looks when they get grabbed by the time stop. 
223. She’s gonna save Artemis. Obviously.
224. I like the way it looked when the time stop broke.
225. “Breaking every rule in the book” we haven’t even seen your book! Just his dad’s stupid journal.
226. He and holly should not be friends yet. He kidnapped her!
227. Ooh, forever friends how sweet! Get fucked. Both of you.
228. Now are we in Russia?
229. Opal annoys me so much.
230. So are you trying to tell me that this Aculos is the movie’s version of the book? Holly’s saying that poem.
231. This isn’t how magic is supposed to work.
232. >:(
233. I will admit it looked cool. Begrudgingly.
234. Your dad isn’t dead.
235. He’s in the secret basement that still exists for some reason.
236. Also, I didn’t note this before, but I doubt Arty ever called his dad, dad.
237. Opal is thwarted. 
238. Why she so ugly looking? Pretty sure she was supposed to be pretty.
239. This is so stupid.
240. Opals accomplices, you mean those two dunderheads she had helping her?
241. How are there still fifteen minutes of this torture left?!
242. Again. Butler would not be ashamed to cry.
243. Just wait until Artemis gets magic of his own.
244. I’m so tired. It’s 12:14 at night and I just want this torture to end. Please god just let the credits roll already!
245. And now they’re famous. Whoop de do. Just tell us how mulch gets captured and escapes and end the movie. That’s all I ask.
246. You know he hasn’t been referred to as Artemis Fowl the Second throughout this whole disaster. What a slight to him.
247. Ray bans.
248. Oh yeah. Brag to opal. Great idea. 
249. Criminal mastermind. Juvenile Genius. Same difference.
250. Why is his tie so skinny? 
251. Is he gonna fly the helicopter?! Finally something in character!
252. Now just let mulch escape and finish this godforsaken nightmare!
253. Fowls? Protecting us? Pardon me while I laugh.
254. They do the unhinging of mulch’s jaw nicely.
255. And now they mission impossible him out of there. Perfect.
256. I’m dying. Let it be over. Please.
257. No more!
258. Fly off into the sunset. Of course.
259. Thank god! Credits! I’m free!
260. And another thing! They didn’t have the follow-up scene with Dr. Po! That would’ve been a way better ending! And you can’t just have one scene without the other!

So, Whitley is basically described as being a miniature version of his Father in both appearance and personality, just like Artemis Fowl.
Also has an alcoholic mother who isolates herself, is rarely seen in her own home and is implied to be mentally ill, just like Artemis Fowl's mother Angelina Fowl.
Mocks Weiss as he watches her try to escape when she is more or less trapped in her own bedroom, much like how Artemis mocks Holly as he watches her try to escape the room she is imprisoned in at the Fowl Manor during the first book.
Also 90% of the plot of the Artemis Fowl series after the first book is Artemis making unlikely alliances with people he's wronged in the past so they can take down an evil disgraced scientist trying to ruin everything for everyone.
Now gee I wonder if we have a disgraced evil scientist anywhere around here?
Tumblr media
Adding in Whitley being suspicious of him
Tumblr media
This boy's definitely gonna try something down the line against Watts. Only concern is that he might overestimate himself and it's going to backfire like in Eternity Code (which also ended up with Butler temporarily dying and forcing him to ask Holly for help)
KLEIN NO
Also placing bets that while he's mainly motivated by wanting to live up to his Father's expectations of him, that he also has a soft spot for his Mother too. With the Kai/Snow Queen allusions Whitley and Willow have I'm thinking the first time we see Willow onscreen will be with Whitley.

[A little snapshot of Angelina]
Angelina: What’s going on? Tell me!
Trouble: Mrs Fowl, under the circumstances -
Angelina: Under the circumstances I think you should shut up! Holly, there is a giant glowing fire ball monster destroying my house - and Artemis is playing violin to it. What is going on?!
Holly: Right...well, the monster is sort of Domnu....at least, Domnu’s hunger and rage....you know Domnu? Jealous, trickster sister of Dana, mother of all creation?....Anyway, Artemis is playing to feed it some emotion, while we think of a better plan.
Angelina: But it’s killing him! And have you heard him play?  he was always too busy looking after me to practice...You fairies wait outside!
Holly: No, Angelina, come back! 
Trouble: She’s right - we need to back off, we’re distracting it and him. Come on!
000
Domnu growled deeply, the whole house shook. She was sucking the life out of Artemis.
Artemis: Aren’t you full yet?....Very well....You know, it doesn’t matter how much of my energy you take....I’m not going to give in....At least, not for another minute anyway....
Behind him, Angelina starts playing her violin, and stands by his side.
Angelina: Posture, Artemis, I taught you better than that, didn’t I? A terrifying energy sucking monster is no excuse.
Artemis smiles: Sorry....
Angelina: Follow my lead, we’re going to play something a little more...passionate...
0000
Foaly: Wow, did you know the mud woman could play like that? I mean, given that this was the crazy attic lady who spent her days talking to a scarecrow version of her dead husband...She’s come a long way.
Holly: Yeah...not so fragile anymore...I guess this what happens when a human plays out their emotions...
000
Artemis sat exhausted on the floor, the strings on his violin frayed and snapped. He was watching in awe as Angelina danced around, playing her violin at high speed. Domnu was absorbing her energy, but she wasn’t slowing down.
Even Domnu had stopped growling.
Artemis: Foaly, I hope you’re recording this...I’m coming to join you, I have a better plan...Mother,mom, play on.
[I like coming up with random scenes, but can never really think of the fic to surround it. Anyway, I liked the idea of Angelina being strong again and showing it through playing the violin. Ji-Hae Park was my inspiration, she uses her depression to fuel her passionate playing.]

Okay. I'm ten minutes into the Artemis Fowl movie and I am not happy with the changes they've done. Angelina is dead? Artemis Senior is there? ARTEMIS ISN'T WEARING A SUIT? Outrages! All of it! Not to mention whatever craziness they're pulling with Mulch being interrogate and being a narrator!
I seriously love the Artemis Fowl books and I don't know how they can recover such a great series with the changes they've made already!

lisatelramor replied to your post: **spoilers for Artemis Fowl (2020)** I need you to...
…well that’s a huge disappointment.
I could not stop screeching.  Artemis calls Butler “buddy”.  Angelina Fowl apparently died years ago, despite the fact that curing her illness is a plot point in book one.  Artemis Fowl Sr was a good dad who read his son fairy tales.

Title:  The Fowl Twins Author: Eoin Colfer
Thoughts:  I was initially jazzed for this book because it followed closely on the announcement of the new movie being produced, or the release date being finalized. Something like that.  Then I watched the movie.  And that was...well yeah.  Honestly, having read and watched all books and movies associated with Artemis Fowl and Percy Jackson, I have to say PJO fans have been over exaggerating a bit.
That’s not the point though.  The point was the movie already lowered my expectations and the book still managed to not meet them.  I’m honestly torn on whether or not it was a good thing I didn’t reread the Artemis books before reading this. I’m not sure if I wouldn’t be more disappointed or not.  Some of it is not necessarily a bad thing. This book, over all has a much more comedic tone and the narration is very Douglas Adams in nature, which stands in stark contrast to the other books.  And is kind of a shame because this makes all parts of the book, even serious parts, not land at all. There’s like, a very real issue that was the result of the Artemis books and government organizations have a risen to investigate it but don’t worry, these two kids can handle that.  A character straight up dies but there’s no real emotional weight to it because everything has been so silly up to that point. More hijinks than heist.
This is made so much worse by Beckett Fowl.  I did find Miles annoying at times, as he’s basically a mini-Artemis and therefore is just Artemis only MORE and that can be grating.  But it’s miles (pun intended) above Beckett who comes across as downright deranged. He actively puts the twins in mortal danger multiple times with no regard for any one else and mostly just spews nonsense.  Going into the book I thought they’d do a fun thing where in Miles is book smart, but Beckett is people smart.  It would have been a fun thing where they both got traits reflective of the parent they most look like. Plus I was expecting these Fowl boys to have turned out very different from Artemis given their parents’ drastic lifestyle change in between. But nope.  Instead Miles is the brains and Beckett is the brawn. Which would work a lot better if they weren’t 11!  
Then it’s revealed that Beckett has magic and it’s given him the ability try to understand all languages. That’s a neat idea, would have been really cool.  Maybe explain some of his concerning behavior, since he can understand things that most humans cannot (like animals).  But it only explains him talking to animals and such, not his other bizarre behavior.  It’s also weird because like, in past books, humans who get over exposed to magic sometimes have very adverse reactions to it.  So I thought that was possibly the reason he’s so unhinged. But nope. It’s never addressed.
There’s even a point wherein Miles goes off on Beckett but instead of telling him off for things he really should be mad about: i.e. climbing into a helicopter with a complete stranger, he just complains about Beckett holding him back. Which is true but not my biggest beef.
Over all I was disappointed because I was really excited to see more of the fairy world and see Artemis being more emotionally mature and stuff like that. And while I do like Lazuli Heights, Artemis is pretty much written out of the book and the twins are too annoying to be enjoyable.  I do not know if I’ll read any of the future books.  Artemis had appeal for people of many ages, this book is too frustrating to read as an adult.
Also Angelina only gets like one offhand mention and she’s not there for the whole book and that’s bullshit!
Recommend:  Not really.  Fine for kids I guess.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: The Unexpected Task
I know what a guinea pig is but what is a guinea fowl?? Ok I just looked it up and it’s a turkey looking chicken thing
Of course Neville’s still had feathers
Lol, Professor McGonagall, if you want Harry and Ron to act their age you’re going to be disappointed since that’s what fourteen year olds do, they fool around doing dumb things in class constantly
“Lavender Brown let out a shrill giggle. Parvati Patil nudged her hard in the ribs, her face working furiously as she too fought not to giggle. They both looked around at Harry, Professor McGonagall ignored them, which Harry thought was distinctly unfair, as she had just told off him and Ron.” Lol, way to be subtle Lavender and Parvati. Also, way to be dense Harry.
See, I always assumed that dress robes were a thing that existed before Harry Potter, I never realised that they don’t actually exist in the real world
“‘Your partners for the Yule Ball, Potter,’ she said coldly. ‘Your dance partners.’ Harry’s insides seemed to curl up and shrivel.” Same
It is wild that he didn’t think about the girls at Hogwarts until this point
It’s actually even worse for Harry because everyone actually knows him, everyone’s going to be interested in who he’s going to take, or who’s going to reject him. The poor boy can’t catch a break.
Ok they need to be nicer about the girls asking him to the ball, at least they had the balls to do it (ba dum tss) and the same can’t be said for either Ron or Harry
Draco is just plain obsessed with Harry. Quoting Rita Skeeter’s article?? Really???The boy memorised an article just so he could quote it to Harry?? OBSESSED.
Aww Flitwick spent their last class of the term talking to Harry about the perfect summoning charm. Do you think Harry reminded him of Lily in that moment since she was so good at charms as well?? Am I reading too much into this?
“Ron was busy building a card castle out of his Exploding Snap pack - a much more interesting pastime than with Muggle cards, because of the chance that the whole thing would blow up at any second.” Ok but at that point would it be interesting? Or just plain annoying?
“‘Who’re you going with, then?’ said Ron. ‘Angelina,’ said Fred promptly, without a trace of embarrassment. ‘What?’ said Ron, taken aback. ‘You’ve already asked her?’ ‘Good point,’ said Fred. He turned his head and called across the common room, ‘Oi! Angelina!’ Angelina, who had been chatting with Alicia Spinnet near the fire, looked over at him. ‘What?’ she called back. ‘Want to come to the ball with me?’ Angelina gave Fred an appraising sort of look. ‘All right, then,’ she said, and she turned back to Alicia and carried on chatting with a bit of a grin on her face.” Iconic
I know I’ve said “Hermione’s got a point” one too many times here but she really does!! It’s not my fault that she does!!
Also if Harry had built up the nerve earlier instead of putting it off for later, he might’ve beaten Cedric to asking out Cho
Oh Harry, good luck… I’m getting secondhand anxiety from this
“Wangoballwime” good stuff Harry, that’ll get her to fall in love with you
Oh sweet Lord make it go away
“Now he suddenly realized that Cedric was in fact a useless pretty boy who didn’t have enough brains to fill an eggcup.” Good Lord, that was unnecessary and vicious Harry
If Fleur had actually gone with Ron to the ball, all three of them would have been opening the ball for everyone lol
Ooh, I wonder why Fleur was talking to Cedric
Ohh, she just wanted to ask Cedric to the ball, nevermind
“‘I asked her to go with me just now,’ Harry said dully, ‘ and she told me.’ Ginny had suddenly stopped smiling.” I NEVER NOTICED THAT SENTENCE ABOUT GINNY BEFORE!! I thought she was just really sad that they both were so pathetic. Or just that Harry was rejected. I don’t know why I didn’t realise, of course it was because she liked Harry still! OF COURSE!
Oh and earlier she was fighting back a smile when she was consoling Ron so I guess when she stopped smiling I just assumed that she definitely felt bad for Harry. I thought because she liked Harry that she felt bad for him since he got rejected by Cho. What an idiot I am. 
NEVILLE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO’S ASKED SOMEONE HE ACTUALLY KNOWS AND CARES ABOUT LIKE HERMIONE. It’s his own bad luck that he was too late which is sad.
Awfully presumptuous of you to think that Hermione only told Neville that so that she didn’t have to go with him, she’s not you Ron
Thanks for sticking up for him Ginny!
“‘Because - oh shut up laughing, you two - because they’ve both just been turned down by the girls they asked to the ball!’ said Ginny. That shut Harry and Ron up.” Thank you Ginny.
Oh Ron, you’ve really done it now
Oh SNAP! Neville already asked Ginny! She could’ve gone with Harry but she missed it by that much! I mean sure, it would’ve been a little weird since it was by Ron’s suggestion, but still!! I think it’s good that she didn’t though because the Yule ball ended up sucking for everyone. Maybe if it had gone this way it might’ve not sucked? Who knows.
“‘I’m going with - with Neville. He asked me when Hermione said no, and I thought… well… I’m not going to be able to go otherwise, I’m not fourth year.’ she said, and she got up and walked off to the portrait hole, her head bowed.” See, anyone who hasn’t finished the series would’ve thought that she was miserable because she was going with Neville and everyone was going to make fun of her. To a wise person like myself however (who only just noticed this, some 13-14 years after reading and rereading the book) it’s because she was so close to going to the ball with Harry, it’s actually comical how close she came to that happening. That’s why she’s miserable. It’s like something out of a sitcom.
I guess Harry isn’t as dense as I thought?
Poor Padma Patil
Padma Patil’s nose doesn’t have to be dead center, Ron’s head just needs to get out of his ass.
I’ve only just realised what ‘The Unexpected Task’ was lol
