Incorrect Artemis Fowl Quotes #1

Mulch: ”I have an alpha dwarf diet. What does that mean? It means I only eat predators. Do not put a prey animal on my plate, I will no touch it. Now, who’s the number one predator? Spiders! Spiders can take down an animal a thousand times their size. So I eat anywhere from 3 000 to 4 000 spiders a day. People are saying ’that’s too many spiders,’ people are saying ’you shouldn’t be eating any spiders.’ And I’m saying you’re listening to the beta FFDA telling you you need a ’bALanCeD dIeT’ when the natural dwarf diet was spiders until vole curry made us soft.”

I just got a new phone, which means I can play Stardew Valley again! So that's all I'm going to be doing for the next 2-3 weeks. But, there's the age-old question...

(no Abigail or Emily because I've already romanced them on other saves)

18/04 Update I haven’t been able to write pretty much anything the last few days because of my job, but did get some done today, and hopefully I’ll get a lot more done this weekend.

I wrote 618 words today, brining the total to 2 533. Since this post has 66 68 notes, that mean I still have to write 4 267 more words to complete the challenge.

I have a question for the Artemis Fowl fandom

Let me know what you think in the notes, I am genuinely curious what people think about this since I don’t recall it being brought up a lot

Explanation/ramblings under the read more

I spent pretty much my entire drive home from work thinking about this, and it might just be driving me a little mad… If I start talking about chocolate truffles, shoot me.

In The Arctic Incident, Opal is depicted as sadistic, psychopathic, and megalomaniacal. But throughout most of the books, she remains calm and composed, until Cudgeon’s betrayal sets her off and she flies into a rage (and then a wall).

When she returns in The Opal Deception, her sadism, megalomaniacal-ness, and delusions have been dialed up to 11 and then some. She’s lost the plot, gone bonkers. And this is explicitly stated in the book, that the coma changed her.

Then comes The Time Paradox, where we get to meet Opal from before The Arctic Incident… but she behaves the same as she did in The Opal Deception. Which is a bizarre inconsistency, I don’t get it.

I dunno, maybe pumping herself full of animal brain juice was making her loopy, but I don’t recall that being stated… though it’s been a while since I read The Time Paradox.

I think it would’ve been interesting if Past!Opal acted more like TAI!Opal than Present!Opal. Maybe instead of having her pose a physical/magical threat, she could pose more of an intellectual threat. That’d make an interesting AU come to think of it… if I had all the time, motivation, and energy in the world…

Yesterday’s Lie, Today’s Truth, Tomorrow’s Promise chapter 4 Sneak Peek

Here is an official sneak peek of the next chapter I’m working on. This is just the first scene of the chapter, something to whet your appetite.

Previous chapters are HERE

Keep in mind that this is still a work in progress and is still subject to change. In fact, I know I’m gonna add a paragraph about Clara’s eyes hurting because she forgot to take her contacts out before she went to sleep, and that she’s wearing her glasses.

Regardless, please enjoy!

Lamp Entertainment presents…

Clara felt like her head was going to explode.

Thursday. Fourth best day of the week.

Thursday morning. Just survive two more days and it was sweet, sweet weekend.

She moved through the familiar corridors and hallways of school like a zombie shambles towards the flesh of the living. An empty shell of a human, a robot of meat and bone moving along a predetermined, programmed path.

It was the day after the girl with sharp teeth showed up outside the window. Her visage followed Clara into her dreams… that is, when she actually got some sleep.

It was strange though. In the night garden, Clara didn’t feel afraid of the girl, even though she looked scary. She couldn’t really remember anything that had happened, only the feelings. The witches, they scared her. The girl didn’t. She only made Clara curious.

She woke up after a nightmare at around two and laid awake staring at her clock, thoughts spinning around her head, a head that felt too small to fit everything. Too small, like all the thoughts and feelings were pushing on her skull from the inside.

That girl, who’s she?

Maybe she was a good witch. Like those books Luz never shut up about. That’d be nice, a hero from another world come to save them.

Clara stood in front of her locker. It took her way too long to remember the combination. She put her math books back in the locker. When she did so, her hand brushed against the new backpack charm Krom gave her, a small bear. It blinked at her.

Clara tried to pretend like she didn’t see it. Tried to pretend like it was just a normal day, like she didn’t have a splitting headache, like everything wasn’t wrong.

First lesson of the day was English, so she grabbed the appropriate books, closed the locker, and turned around.

When you speak of the trolls… there she was, Luz.

Luz Noceda, how would one describe her? Who’s she?

Kinda cute, kinda endearing. Just way too much. Way too much, all the time.

Most people would just call her annoying and leave it at that. Some people said far worse things, some when they thought she couldn’t hear them, some when they thought she could.

It always made Clara’s stomach turn, especially when some of those things they said about Luz were things they would say about her too. She should speak up, tell them to cut it out, or maybe get new friends. But she never did. She was not brave like that.

Luz looked at her with big bright eyes. She looked concerned… almost like she knew something was wrong.

”Hey,” she said.

”Hi,” Clara said, almost on reflex.

”I would say ’good morning,’ but you don’t look like you’ve had a good morning,” Luz said with a nervous smile.

Shit, was it that obvious?

”Yeah, I had a nightmare last night,” Clara said. Technically true. She did have a nightmare. And then a few more. ”Had a hard time falling asleep again.”

”I know what you mean,” Luz said, nodding sympathetically. ”I had a nightmare the other night… dreamt I was stuck in a cage, like an animal…” She paused for a moment. ”But really, how are you? Are you… okay?”

Shit. Fuck. It was that obvious.

”Why do you care?” Clara snapped before she could stop herself. Part of her was mad. Since when had Luz ever cared about anything or anyone from the real world? There was another, quieter part of her that knew she was just lashing out because of the pent-up frustration. Didn’t stop her from snapping at the person trying to be nice to her, even though she really hadn’t made herself deserving of that kindness.

Luz blinked and tilted her head slightly. Her eyes darted around lighting fast, studying her, like an interesting insect.

”I dunno,” she said with a little shrug. ”I just noticed you’ve been looking down lately. Thought I’d check, you know. Just trying to be nice.”

”You haven’t exactly been a ray of sunshine either as of late,” Clara said dourly.

”Yeah, I’ve been going through it,” Luz said with a very fake-sounding chuckle. ”Which is why I thought, I dunno, I could help you. Even if it was just someone to talk to.”

”…thanks… I think?” Clara said slowly. This was so weird, and not weird in the way Luz was usually weird. But she did seem genuine… and if there was anyone who’d believe her about the three witches… ”B-but I’m fine, I promise,” Clara lied. ”I just, uh…” She raked her brain for some kind of explanation.” Seasonal depression, she blurted out finally. ”It’s getting dark and cold and it makes me feel down.”

For a moment, Clara thought Luz could see right through her , but then she blinked and nodded.

”I get it,” she said. ”I hat the cold, It makes me wanna find a nice hole to crawl into a hibernate until spring.”

Clara tried to force a laugh. It didn’t go well.

”Maybe we should do that, just sleep through winter.”

”I’ll think about it,” Luz said. ”I just gotta find a hole big enough for the both of us. I’ll let you know if I find one.” Now there was the Luz Clara knew, with her silly ideas and jokes she took just a little too far. ”We should probably get to class now,” she added.

”We probably should,” Clara agreed, and started walking. Luz followed closely behind.

Clara felt like her head was going to explode. Beating and banging on the inside of her cranium. Her brain felt like every thought had to wade through mud and brambles. Her eyes hurt, full of sand and water. Her body weighed a ton, she moved so slow, like her blood was made of glue.

Her soul was on fire.

If Clara had turned around, she would’ve seen Luz’ expression change into a frown and how her eyelids closed vertically instead of horizontally.
