We don't possibly talk enough about this scene. And theres no valid excuse for that!
We all, including Holly, know what he did was for the better; and he did not in fact let her die.
But imagine being stabbed through your heart with a fucking cursed sword, and you ask the one and only person you trust to save you in that situation for help, only to be watched to death before their very eyes.
And Holly had never asked for help. I don't remember her doing it after either. She does shit on her own. The agony, the pain, and oh boy the TRUST, for her to do that.
Its painful.
Yes, Artemis in fact didn't let holly die, but she is to forever have nightmares about that moment. And in her dreams, Artemis does indeed only care enough to glance her way briefly.
I’m so excited to be participating in Fowl Feat this year (thank you for making these @shortace! This meme was inspired by that one heartbreaking scene in Artemis Fowl and the Last Guardian:
Fowl Fest Day 31, fan day/collab with a fellow day! I haven’t visited the Fowl fandom much lately (sadly losing interest in it) but i had lots of fun making this drawing collab with @alma-n !! This is a drawing of our AU’s of Alex and Artemis’ children! I drew Almas and she drew mine
I like to think both Bradford Buzzard and Black Heron both personally interviewed all of FOWL’s key members together. And during the hiring process they both approved each members for different reasons
Buzzard: How said person would be beneficial to FOWL’s evil goal for world domination
Heron: Said person’s evil aesthetic and their villainous qualities
Bradford: Well Ms. Dee, all though your methods are quite unorthodox, you do get results and your work speaks for itself. Now if we were to contact one of your previous employers such as…{glances at resume} Mark Beaks, would he speak as positively about you?
Gandra: Oh…yeah, probably not. I did do the job he asked me to do, but at the last minute I sorta betrayed him for my own personal gain
Black Heron: Oooh! How delightfully villainous!
Bradford: Heron, please. And what exactly was this job?
Gandra: I had to seduce one of McDuck’s scientists and trick him into saying a passcode for Mark Beaks.
Black Heron: {writes down in her notes “evil scientist, spy, wears black, temptress, love it!”} I see…
Bradford: And this employee you had to “seduce”, you’re not still in contact with him, correct?
Gandra: Whaaaat? Of course not. I dumped his ass right after I betrayed Mark Beaks.
Black Heron: OH THAT IS COLD!! SHE IS IN!!
Bradford: I still have other questions to a-
Black Heron: {grabs Gandra’s hand and shakes it} Oh you do NOT know how happy I am to finally have another villainess on our team and one that’s a spy no less! It’s a real sausage fest in the inner circle!
Bradford: Heron!
Gandra: Actually I would prefer to be referred to as an “anti-hero”.
Bradford: Enough! We’re not an evil organization!
Black Heron & Gandra: Uh-huh…
Bradford: {sighs} Well regardless you start Monday, please dress a little more formal for your job
I don't know if I can do the rest of Fowl Fest at this rate, got exams to study for lol SO as penance for dipping out early, I did my best with this prompt. Tried to go all out.
Today we share our history with the Fowls :) here are my favourites!
