π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί My child !!!
Fanfic of a fanfic. Inspired by Eldewind Dolly's story "Artemis Experiments Weird".
--------------------
Selene was distraught. Artemis, her father, didn't care. Except this time she couldn't run away from that fact. He had said it straight to her face, with no remorse and no regret, before simply walking away. Her creator was her first bully. She had to fix this. She had to do somethingβ anything. So she walked to his room and waited for him. She sat on the bed for a while, then read a book, then drew for a bit, then surfed the webβ¦ where was Artemis? Selene was almost beginning to lose hope, when the bedroom door opened. Artemis, Seleneβs father, her creator, was standing in the doorway.
Artemis slammed the door and stormed over to Selene. She was wearing one of his mother's old dresses.
βWhat have you done?β he nearly shouted at her.
Selene was terrified, because she hadn't done anything. She hadn't even said a single word today! The words flowed out of her mouth before she could think about how they could be interpreted.
βFather, please! I didn't do anything, I swear. I just want you to love me! I love you so much, creator. I just wish you'd be like a real father and treat your creation right!β
The silence was deafening. Artemis's eyes were wide in anger. How dare she talk back to him? Artemis backhanded her with a surprising amount of strength, and immediately regretted it. For one, his hand hurts now. Twoβ¦he felt guilt. For the first time in a while, he felt guilt that lasted for more than just a few seconds. Selene was shocked by the expression on her creator's face, her eyes brimming with tears. Artemis then cradled Selene's head in his hands, gently caressing her hurt cheek with his thumb. He felt so bad. He kissed her cheek gently and sat down next to her.
βSelene, I'm so sorry. I don't know what got into meβ¦β
Instead of responding, Selene simply hugged her creator and snuggled up against him, feeding on the affection.
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 heβs a kid and heβs been essentially all alone trying to keep all their finances secure (to save his father in the first place) and heβs worked so hard on it, and likeβ¦ when a kid needs someone to fix something, who do they usually turn to first? A parent.
So Artemis starts rattling it off like βgreat we can both work on this now, cause now my dadβs hereβ and then five minutes later heβs thinking βshit!! my fatherβs doesnβt want to fix it!!β
Γ©.Γ¨ I think I can die in peace now. This is just too lovely for my sick old heart !!!
Because that's me with this.
love this lil guy with all my heart π₯Ή

Also, again for the ask thing: since I love how you write Artemis, do you have other inspirations for him outside Colfer's books? Like, music, or other characters in books or series, that helps you "channeling" him :3
Oooooh, I love this question !! (and thank you so much for the compliment youβre so sweet π₯Ή)
To be honest Iβve never really thought about it that way ; Artemis is just a character that Iβve thoroughly obsessed over for almost a decade now :β) so the child is kinda part of my dna now ^^"
But my interpretation of him is probably very influenced by mtv series Daria. This show has been my absolute favourite forever ! My mum had all 5 seasons and 2 feature films on DVDs, and I watched them on loop absolutely everyday, I knew all the dialogues by heart and Daria and Jane were my spirit animals.
I really recommend all of the Fowldom to check this series out ; the main character Daria is extremely intelligent, witty and cynical, she is a great source of inspiration for me in writing Artemis ^^ and also the show is just absolutely great and so freaking funny. (also worth mentioning that Iβve always headcanoned that Juliet had an early teen phase where she was a lot like Quinn ; when I write Artemis and Juliet Iβm always inspired by Daria and Quinn ^^)
Another big inspiration, though more recent, is definitely Aurora. She is my absolute beloved, my Stendhal syndrome, her music is everything to me ; and since I am a maniac and cannot be trusted not to combine all my hyperfixations, Iβve always felt like Aurora is very much a βwhat Artemis could have been", had he had a shot at freedom in his childhood. A lot of her songs (All My Demons, In Bottles, It Happened Quiet, Conflict of the Mind, My Body is Not Mine, Invisible Woundsβ¦) I strongly, strongly associate with Artemis - my interpretation of him at least.
Thatβs what the key thing must be, though. I think over the years, Iβve really crafted an interpretation of Artemis that really feels like my own. I see him as an initially extremely empathetic, emotionally acute person ; who was broken by his fatherβs neglectful and abusive parenting, and forced to learn to silence his feelings in the name of Family and Business - and his journey is all about reconnecting with his emotions. I know itβs not that far out there of a take, there are a lot of hints in the books that can point this direction ; but this notion that within Artemis there is a permanent thunderstorm of emotions and deeply embedded guilt, a desire to prove himself worthy of love and respect, is really my main guideline when I write him :)
Thank you so much @laeliana for letting me ramble ^^"
That morning in 1999 ; they just found outβ¦
First time trying a big piece on procreate, iβm glad I went for a monochrome so I could work on my (non existent) shadows skills. I donβt draw scenes like this very often even on traditional media so Iβm quite happy with how it turned out.
Sorry for the angst, mental health is a sh*tshow right now π« So iβm torturing my favorite characters because iβm a terrible person β¨
