A series of middle grade novels written by Eoin Colfer.Originally, the tale of an Irish pubescent evil genius and his efforts to acquire money and power by exploiting the secret underground world of fairies using both magic and advanced super-technology.

Aliens Speaking English | |
Artemis Fowl / int_1049848f | comment |
Aliens Speaking English: The People speak Gnommish and have the Gift of Tongues, meaning they can speak in any other language (including certain animal dialects), but the series is riddled with puns, etc. that only make sense in English. Particularly evident in the fairies' names—see Mulch justifying the inscription on Holly's buzz baton (which he stole) by saying his mother always called him Holly because of his "prickly personality." | |

Artistic License – Martial Arts: Juliet is described, at the age of fourteen, as being a third dan black belt in three arts. For someone to earn a single third dan black belt by the age of fourteen, even with a teacher like Butler, is pretty much impossible. Earning three of them in multiple styles? No way. | |

Forgot About the Mind Reader: Opal Koboi has her none-too-bright henchmen the Brill brothers convinced to the point of paranoia that she can read minds, simply by turning on them at random and shrieking "I heard that!". Mervall Brill at one point tests her by thinking treasonous thoughts at her as loudly as possible. | |

Artemis Fowl / int_1a8dc238 | comment |
Underestimating Badassery: Basically the only reason Opal didn't kill Artemis before Holly arrived was that she underestimated Butler, who manages- despite his loss of memory- to recognize the imminent attack and get himself and Artemis out of immediate danger, leaving Holly enough time to heal their injuries and take Artemis away to explain the situation. | |

Vancian Magic: Everyone with magic has a certain amount that they have available for use. When they run out, they have to go through an arduous ritual to replenish it. Also, the mesmer uses up decidedly less power than the other magics . . . unless it's shielding that does that . . . unless it's the Gift of Tongues . . . unless you need to heal the villain's chronic lack of smell. | |

Harmful Healing | |
Artemis Fowl / int_1ff3b1d6 | comment |
Harmful Healing: Butler gets shot through his bulletproof vest. Holly dumps all of her magic into him to save him, and while it works, it has two nasty side effects. First, her magic wasn't enough to fully heal him, so some of Butler's lifespan was used to complete the spell, aging him about fifteen years. Second, some of the vest's Kevlar fibers got caught, replicated by the magic, and irreversibly intertwined with his flesh; it's only a small patch, but it's enough to slow down his breathing without providing any actual bulletproofing. | |

Loves Only Gold | |
Artemis Fowl / int_208942c8 | comment |
Loves Only Gold: The Fowl family motto is Aurum potestas est: "Gold is power". In a flashback in the first book, Artemis Senior notes how gold holds its value better than other forms of investment, and tells his son to "buy gold, and keep it safe"; Artemis takes the advice to heart, as the ransom he demands from the fairies is one metric ton of gold. The trait is downplayed in later instalments as Artemis and his father gradually become more heroic. | |

Fictional Painting: "The Faerie Thief", which depicts an elf trying to snatch a human baby from its cradle. Legends say the painting was stolen soon after completion and has only ever changed ownership through theft; as a result, its existence is known only to a few of the world's most experienced art thieves, and ownership of it is considered a badge of honor and testament to one's skills as a criminal. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
Artemis Fowl / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Several. The finger guns in Book 1. Opal's smuggler's box and a jar of truffles in The Opal Deception. Artemis's laser pointer, the seventh Kraken, and the toy monkey in The Time Paradox. And in The Last Guardian, the Opal clone could count as this or Chekhov's Gunman—she is technically alive, after all. From the same book, we have the eye that Artemis and Holly traded in Book Five. It ultimately leads to his (temporary) death due to a special spell designed to kill any fairies within its bounds. While Artemis is mostly human, the eye is just enough fairy to qualify him. | |

Fire-Forged Friends | |
Artemis Fowl / int_2493b31d | comment |
Fire-Forged Friends: Various characters find themselves growing closer through all their adventures and misadventures. Artemis and Holly are the prime example, gradually going from enemies to allies-by-necessity to somewhat-trusted companions to actual friends to closer friends. Artemis and Butler, at first, are just "the closest thing" each has to a friend. By the end of Book 2 and its travails, Artemis realizes that he truly respects Butler. And by Book 3, Artemis is willing to go through a great ordeal to save his life. Holly and Mulch, of all people, become close enough for him to join her as her partner when she quits the LEP and becomes a private detective. | |

Winged Humanoid | |
Artemis Fowl / int_2588feac | comment |
Winged Humanoid: Played with—except for the sprites, fairies' "wings" are actually jetpacks. It is stated that at one point all of the People had wings owing to their ancestral pterosaur lineage, but adaptation to terrestrial and subterranean lifestyles caused them to atrophy in all but the sprites. Their ancestral flight instinct still makes them better at using jetpack and gliding devices than humans, though. | |

Our Centaurs Are Different: They're tiny, for one thing. The centaurs we see (Foaly, Cabelline, and Mayne) geeky and awkward, rather than majestic, but Foaly mentions other centaurs who sound somewhat more traditional. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
Artemis Fowl / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: In The Time Paradox, Artemis goes back two years to before the first book (which was published in 2001 and uses human technology from that time). Yet the young Artemis there has a mobile phone that can be used to surf the Internet, connects to a beamer, and has a blacklight to test money and an X-ray scanner. He uses his laptop to send a video message to every Extinctionist's phone, and all of them can watch it. Also, Kronski pays Artemis in bills of 500€, while the euro wouldn't come into use (as a physical currency) until a few years later. | |

Breaking the Glass Ceiling | |
Artemis Fowl / int_2629c82a | comment |
Breaking the Glass Ceiling: During a heated discussion with Commander Root, Holly accuses his endless complaints and dressing-downs of being solely based on the fact that she's female. He admits that this is so... but for an opposite reason: As there are two females in the LEP Recon (and one is a bimbo limited to announcements who only got a job because she's descended from one of the fairies' kings), she has to be better than all others so more women will think of joining. | |

Cold Flames: Damon Kronski, leader of the Extinctionists, has a pit lined with flamethrowers which he uses to stage the execution of endangered species for the amusement of his supporters. Unbeknownst to him, another character (who wants the endangered animals saved for selfish reasons) fitted a trapdoor in the base of the pit and replaced the flamethrowers with hologram generators. | |

The gnome Gotter Dammerung, i.e. Götterdämmerung, which either refers to the German word meaning something that ends disastrously, or possibly references the Wagner opera of the same name, which chronicles the events of a war referenced in Norse mythology (Ragnarök) where the gods go to war. Given that this character appears in The Last Guardian and kills young Opal, allowing older Opal to transform herself into something that appears god-like, it could be both. | |

Fantastic Nuke: The "Blue Rinse" is a miniaturized neutron bomb utilizing Solonium-II, which has a half-life of mere seconds (presumably, they use magic to time-freeze it until it's needed). It's just powerful enough to kill everyone in Fowl Manor without breaking or causing neutron-induction in anything. Artemis gets around it by putting everyone Just One Second Out of Sync. | |

Theme Music Power-Up | |
Artemis Fowl / int_2f50c5bf | comment |
Theme Music Power-Up: It may be a series of novels, but Artemis occasionally invokes this trope in his head. In the first book, when he finally acquires his metric ton of gold from the People, he imagines that somewhere, the 1812 Overture is playing. In The Eternity Code when Artemis meets Spiro on the airfield, he thinks that some music would be perfect for this situation. And then in The Time Paradox, when he needs to think some mental music to clear his head, he thinks to himself: Plotting music, I need plotting music. More literally in The Time Paradox when composing a symphony in his head stops his atoms being scattered. | |

Distaff Counterpart | |
Artemis Fowl / int_2fc21a19 | comment |
Book five covers the time period in which Artemis experiences puberty. Being Artemis, the enormous mass of new-found emotions and hormones is little more than an annoyance, but also, being Artemis, he has no trouble mentioning this annoyance whenever he's distracted by a pretty face. This also just happened to be the book in which Minerva- essentially a slightly younger, Distaff Counterpart to Artemis Fowl- heavily features. Furthermore, he actually mentioned feeling attraction towards her, specifically. And yet, beyond these passing mentions, the matter comes up roughly twice: once when they get along incredibly well on the phone, which lasts about twenty seconds, since they are currently attempting to ruin each other's plans, and again towards the end at Minerva's side when she is revealed to have been thinking about Artemis in an admiring sense. | |

And when he comes back to life he and Holly are left in a field of roses.

Stable Time Loop: More or less. The Time Paradox has so many piled on one another it'll make your head spin. Even just planning to do something when he got back to the future made it retroactive fact, allowing him to reap the benefits before actually doing so. Even more, Artemis's obsession with fairies in the first book is the result of residual memories from his future self, in which he learned about fairies and his own involvement with them, after a Mind Wipe. Completely defied in The Last Guardian. | |

Foaly successfully records Briar gloating about his plans to betray the Goblin triads (which Opal is in on) and also have Opal killed so he won't share power. Artemis successfully exposes the first part (though Briar shuts down the message before Opal can hear the rest), forcing Briar and Opal to kill the goblins in the facility sooner than planned (due to the Triad leaders being in the room and furious about what they just learned), and Foaly manages to send the rest to Artemis' phone and play it for everyone to hear, causing Opal to fly into a rage, which results in Briar stumbling into the exposed plasma and getting fried. | |

Batman Gambit | |
Artemis Fowl / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Artemis's plot-kickstarting plan to kidnap a fairy. He knows they have to go to a specific place at a specific time to do a specific thing, but if no one shows up (a very likely outcome) then he just sits in a tent all night. It's mentioned that this is exactly what happens for four months. Artemis's entire plan in the first book revolves around 1. the fairies using a time stop, and 2. the fairies noticing a flaw in his orders which would allow them into the manor once he was dead. Cudgeon's plan to send in the troll banks on the humans calling for help before it kills them, thus inviting the LEP inside. In the second book, Foaly gets Cudgeon to admit to his Evil Plan on tape because he knows his mark will want to brag about it. Used by Artemis twice more against Opal in The Opal Deception and The Last Guardian. The latter example is especially notable as Artemis essentially gets Opal to push the 'off button' on her doomsday spell by banking on her rampant narcissism. | |

Character Development | |
Artemis Fowl / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: As the series progresses, Artemis develops from a ruthless criminal mastermind into something almost heroic. A major part of The Time Paradox is contrasting Artemis pre and post-development. Particularly obvious from the epilogue of the first book, which states that Artemis healing his mother was nothing but Pragmatic Villainy to stop social services interfering in his schemes, that he would continue to exploit the fairies and be a thorn in their side for years after the Fowl Manor incident, and that Holly would become one of his greatest foes. Though the book itself says that the report is "94% factually accurate, 6% unavoidable extrapolation." | |

Captain Obvious | |
Artemis Fowl / int_3eee0728 | comment |
Captain Obvious: Once No1 gains the Gift of Tongues, he delights in pointing out the meaning of human expressions and spouting long lists of synonyms, even though every other character around him (and the readers) know very well what they mean. Self-justifies when he realizes he's been using it to cope with stress. Subverted in book six: "I think we all know what D'Arvit means." Artemis also has his moments. | |

Ridiculously Long-lived Family Name | |
Artemis Fowl / int_43d9dc6a | comment |
Ridiculously Long-lived Family Name: The Butlers have been, well, butlers to the Fowl family for centuries, the first known one (Virgil Butler) being servant, bodyguard and cook to Lord Hugo de Foley sometime in the Middle Ages, leading to in-universe speculation that the job title comes from the family name. In fact, it comes from the Old French boteiller, the man in charge of the bottles of wine. | |

Imperfect Ritual: The fifth book finds the protagonists in deep trouble on an island that is coming to Unstuck in Time and rapidly disintegrating. To save the island and everyone on it, they need to complete a ritual that was meant for seven demon warlocks. They pull it off, though not flawlessly, with two warlocks (an elderly master and a rookie), an elfin police officer, a non-warlock demon sharing his mind space with an apprentice warlock, and a human, Artemis himself, who had stolen some magic on the trip there. | |

Too Proud for Lowly Work: At the end of the book, while fleeing from the LEP, Opal Koboi crashlands in an Italian vineyard and uses the last of her magic to mesmerise the owner into believing she's his daughter. When he immediately orders her to start doing manual labor, Opal is mortified, believing such work to be beneath her. However, without her magic or authority, she has no choice but to comply, and it's noted that by the time the LEP finally catch up to her, she's almost happy to see them. | |

Cultural Posturing: Various fairy characters are fond of reminding Artemis how advanced fairy technology is compared to the "Mudman" equivalent. Unless it's a technology that Artemis himself developed after meeting the fairies and reverse-engineering their gadgets.

Artemis Fowl / int_4832a3bb | comment |
Always Chaotic Evil: Goblins and trolls, although the latter is mostly portrayed as just animals, and the former is beyond stupid. They're directly stated to be as smart as rats. All demons except the warlocks are primitive, bloodthirsty human-hating, but it's unclear whether this is innate or the result of generations of fear-conditioning by leaders like Leon Abbot. Book 6 suggests the latter, as they're mentioned to be re-integrating into fairy society. With some difficulty, admittedly, but nothing insurmountable. | |

Artemis Fowl / int_4ac8b81f | comment |
Humans Are the Real Monsters: According to the fairies, mostly regarding our treatment of the environment. In practice, Artemis is merely Affably Evil (if that), though other human antagonists (Jon Spiro, Billy Kong, the Extinctionists} definitely count. The Extinctionists, however The Man Behind the Man turn out to be the result of a fairy plot. It dies down as the series eventually, though reluctantly, conceding that both humans and fairies can be pretty bastardy. | |

Author Tract: If one were to think "Humans suck! Humans suck! Humans suck!" was the message Colfer was trying to send then it would be an understandable conclusion. Many sections describe the harm humans do to the environment, how primitive their technology is compared to that of fairies, and how devious many of them are. Granted, most of this comes from the fairies, who can be lacking in morality themselves, but it is a persistent theme. | |

Crooks Are Better Armed: The B'wa Kell uprising in The Arctic Incident. The conspirators backing the uprising arm the B'wa Kell Triad with highly dangerous softnose lasers and sabotage the Lower Elements Police's neutrino weapons, leaving the LEP only a handful of obsolete electric stun rifles to defend themselves with. The modified soft noses are supposedly unreliable, what with the misfires and self-destruction (a significant factor in Real Life equipment selection), and a good part of their danger comes from the vast amount of unintentional damage they can do in a high-tech underground complex. Standard LEP weaponry is technically superior in almost all respects. | |

Bodyguard Legacy: The Butler family have been raising their children to become bodyguards to the Fowl family ever since Virgil Butler was contracted to be a bodyguard, servant, and cook to Lord Hugo de Fole in the middle ages.

Green Aesop | |
Artemis Fowl / int_56b53152 | comment |
Green Aesop: The series teems with these, some more subtle than others. As of book five, environmental issues have not featured in the main plot, but the fairy people are quick to criticize humanity's lack of respect for nature and Artemis tends to agree with them in an Even Evil Has Standards sort of way. Book six, The Time Paradox, brings this front and centre with the main plot focusing on an endangered lemur. Even the Easter Egg codes in some of the books are blatantly pro-green. Interestingly, in the first book, Artemis nonchalantly destroys a whaling ship, as a side-effect of some of his other schemes. Despite his apparent aversion to killing, he calls it a bonus (and it helps that the ship was abandoned at the time). The seventh book opens with Artemis unveiling his plan to end global warming. Comes to a head in the eighth book with practically all modern technology being destroyed ('cause of Opal, by proxy) and green technologies replacing them. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
Artemis Fowl / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The fairies are prejudiced against humans. This is presented as partly justified in the sense that, to some extent, Humans Are the Real Monsters, but on the other hand it's obviously a product of the fairies' recognizably human limitations of perspective. The main reason cited is how unecological human actions are, but a favourite complaint is also how disgusting it is that human toilets are indoors. Among the People themselves, goblins and dwarves are mortal enemies, and Arc Sool is fired from the LEP for writing in a journal that he wishes to eliminate the Eighth Family (the demons). Pixies and dwarves aren't so fond of each other either. | |

Magic Knight | |
Artemis Fowl / int_58204b95 | comment |
Magic Knight: Demons are divided into two castes: ordinary demons develop no magical power but metamorphose into monstrous forms when they come of age, while warlocks develop magical talent instead of muscle. Demon warlord Leon Abbott managed to steal some magical power from a warlock when he interrupted a spellcasting ritual and caused a freak accident, and uses the stolen magic to secretly bewitch the rest of demonkind into serving him. | |

Air-Vent Passageway: Artemis has to crawl through a duct filled with fuel for the building's plasma weapons. Before his helmet runs out of air. Without being able to see where he's going. Knowing full well that if anyone turns on the plasma cannons, he's toast. Not to mention that once he gets out, he has to be sprayed with anti-radiation foam or he'll likely develop cancer. | |

Pragmatic Villainy | |
Artemis Fowl / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Particularly obvious from the epilogue of the first book, which states that Artemis healing his mother was nothing but Pragmatic Villainy to stop social services interfering in his schemes, that he would continue to exploit the fairies and be a thorn in their side for years after the Fowl Manor incident, and that Holly would become one of his greatest foes. Though the book itself says that the report is "94% factually accurate, 6% unavoidable extrapolation." | |

The Smurfette Principle: Deconstructed in the first book, when Holly point-blank asks Root if he's harder on her because she's a girl. He admits it, and then points out that she's the first female in Recon, and needs to set an example. The only other female up for the job Holly considers a 'bimbo' who only got the position due to her relation to royalty. | |

Finger in a Barrel: A variation in the first book. Mulch is being attacked by a gang of goblins, and their ringleader summons a fireball and then inhales it up to his nostrils to breathe fire over Mulch. Mulch responds by jamming his thumbs up the goblin's nostrils; he gets his thumbs burned, but the goblin's innards take most of the damage. | |

Train Escape | |
Artemis Fowl / int_659235a4 | comment |
Train Escape: The Arctic Incident has a version of type 2. Flying goblins with artificial wings and laser cannons have trapped Butler and Root in a snow cave beneath an avalanche set off by their blasts, so Holly and Artemis devise a plan to get them out by boarding a passing radioactive train and attaching a rope fastened to Root's anti-grav belt to it. They board the train and Artemis has to get on the roof, make a hole with some acid, and open the door from the inside to let Holly in. The only reason this works is that the goblins assume the radiation will kill them anyway and fear that shooting the train will blow it to smithereens, and them with it. And then the aforementioned Klingon Promotion. | |

Treated Worse than the Pet: Opal's airplane crashes in the vinedo of an old Italian man. To avoid being found by LEP agents, the villainous pixie uses her last bit of power to mesmerize the man into thinking that she is his daughter, Belinda. A big mistake, for Opal's "father" forces her to slave away on the vinedo with a spade too big for a pixie, do the laundry, and cook dinner, under threat of locking her away "with a pile of potatoes to peel and none to eat". Among her endless tasks, Opal has to clean the pigs' place. She is almost happy when the fairy police finally find her. | |

Pseudo-Santa: It's mentioned that the true origin of the Santa Claus myth is not Sinterklaas, but a fairy king named San d'Klaas, who attempted to appease mankind by placing a time field over the Earth's surface and delivering presents to people while they slept. It didn't work, and he picked up the epithet "San the Deluded", but his story does give Artemis an idea for how to escape the time field the fairies have trapped him in. | |

A Wizard Did It | |
Artemis Fowl / int_6bfc52a3 | comment |
A Wizard Did It: The original book says Mulch Diggums lost his magic but The Arctic Incident has him use the Gift Of Tongues to talk to some dogs. Here it's explained that depowered fairies like Mulch and Doodah Day retain one spark of magic that lets them use the Gift. Frustratingly, 'Atlantis Complex says that depowered fairies can't use the Gift and Mulch mentions having to learn English. | |

Retroactive Preparation | |
Artemis Fowl / int_6c05a4f8 | comment |
Retroactive Preparation: In The Time Paradox Artemis and Holly are locked in the trunk of a car, so Artemis decides that later on he'll send a note back in time and ask Mulch Diggums to come rescue them. Soon after, Mulch breaks open the trunk. Artemis tries the same trick later on in the book, but realizes that it only works once. | |

Punny Name | |
Artemis Fowl / int_6d7026fa | comment |
Punny Name: All over the place. Artemis is always in a fowl mood (which numerous chapter titles lampshade). Holly is indeed Short. And also described as "pretty ... in a pointy sort of way." Butler . . . is a butler. Possibly justified if those scholars who think his family originated the noun are correct. Mulch. You mean like . . . dirt? Foaly is half horse. Same goes for his nephew Mayne, and his wife Caballine ("caballo" being the Spanish word for "horse") Dr. J. Argon, the sham psychologist. In The Last Guardian the pirate duo Salton Finnacre and J'Heez Nunyan and the Chinese Warrior Yezwi Khan. The dwarf engineer in The Last Guardian is named Kolin Ozkopy. The gnome Gotter Dammerung, i.e. Götterdämmerung, which either refers to the German word meaning something that ends disastrously, or possibly references the Wagner opera of the same name, which chronicles the events of a war referenced in Norse mythology (Ragnarök) where the gods go to war. Given that this character appears in The Last Guardian and kills young Opal, allowing older Opal to transform herself into something that appears god-like, it could be both. Artemis is fond of using these as pseudonyms. He published some romance novels under the name Violet Tsirblou ("violets are blue...") and submitted articles to psychology journals under the names "C. Niall DeMencha" and "Sir E. Brum". Jon Spiro's tech company is called Fission Chips. | |

From the same book, we have the eye that Artemis and Holly traded in Book Five. It ultimately leads to his (temporary) death due to a special spell designed to kill any fairies within its bounds. While Artemis is mostly human, the eye is just enough fairy to qualify him. | |

Science Is Wrong | |
Artemis Fowl / int_6fb07cc4 | comment |
Science Is Wrong: Subverted. Human understanding of certain scientific concepts is wrong, but only because human observations are limited by the fact that magic is actively hidden from "Mudmen." The scientific method is still a-okay. In The Time Paradox Artemis (a token smart guy) argues against the theory of evolution as part of a distraction, and later tells Butler confidentially that as a theory it "has more holes than a Dutch dam made of Swiss cheese". Probably meant to be a parody of this trope, since by this point in the series Artemis has made discoveries that shatter global scientific consensus already. | |

Hypnotism Reversal: Artemis agrees to a mind-wipe by the fairies after calling on their help. He doesn't know how to counter the mindwipe, but he does know that they're going to use their mesmer powers on him beforehand to make sure he isn't hiding anything. So he arranges for his team to wear mirrored contact lenses that allow him to resist the mesmer, faking being mesmered and telling the fairies about all but one of his backup plans to restore his memory, which turns out to be critical for the following book. | |

George Jetson Job Security: At one point in the first book, Artemis's mother demands that he fire a maid that displeased her. Artemis agrees to, then offers to hire Butler's sister Juliet as a replacement, which is approved. Since Juliet was the maid in question, something Mrs. Fowl was not capable of realizing given her mental state for much of the book, this results in no actual change to the employment roster. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
Artemis Fowl / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: In the first book, an argument could easily be made for either side being the "good guys." In the case of Artemis himself, well . . . on one hand, he is an unashamedly greedy criminal (which his future self readily admits). On the other, he does have some standards and feels some guilt over his plan. And given the set of values that his father gave him, he certainly doesn't think he's doing the "wrong" thing so much as following a twisted sort of "God-helps-those-who-help-themselves" mentality. Plus, two of his less explicit reasons for his kidnapping plot were to heal his mother and raise more money to try and find his father. In the case of the LEP, some of them do very questionable things, such as sending a troll into a house where it will pose a significant danger to everyone inside, including the hostage. Many of the LEP, including those opposed to the troll idea, are later willing to kill several innocent bystanders (Angeline and Juliet along with all of the wildlife) to take out Fowl and ensure that he won't exploit the fairy world in the future. (Recovering the ransom was just a bonus.) | |

Artemis Fowl / int_7374ab13 | comment |
Once More, with Clarity: The Lost Colony shows a scene from both Holly's and Artemis's perspectives that paint two very different pictures of what goes down. After Holly gets stabbed by Abbot, she pleads with Artemis to help her, but he simply glances at her and keeps watching the bomb tick down, making him come across as cold. When we have access to Artemis's thoughts, it's shown that he's already making a plan to save her the moment she's run through, and seeing her die causes him so much pain that he almost loses concentration and screws up the plan. | |

Super Cell Reception | |
Artemis Fowl / int_7bed2677 | comment |
Super Cell Reception: Artemis receives a text message in the Arctic. Sent from a laptop inside the Earth. One could speculate that the fairies have set up underground Internet and cell phone service providers . . . but it was Artemis's own laptop, so it probably ran on a plain old human-run ISP. Then again, it was Gadgeteer Genius Foaly at the keyboard. Artemis himself notes that it should have been impossible for him to receive the message. The story adheres more to actual physics when, asked if they can send a reply, Artemis nonchalantly quips, "Certainly. Just give me six months, some specialized equipment and three miles of steel girder." Foaly himself mentions how hard it was to patch into the human networks. The Last Guardian mentions that all fairy communications halted because the human satellites they were piggybacking on fell from orbit. They probably just install devices to block signals of human origin and use the full capacity of the human tech to their own benefit. Artemis, being Artemis, would have found unblocking the device child's play. | |

Artemis Fowl / int_7d49d74a | comment |
Cultural Translation: The US edition of The Time Paradox, has proudly Irish Artemis start referring to his mother as 'Mom' after making an emotional breakthrough. She gains the title 'Mum' in the UK edition, but even that may be a version of this trope, as she's referred to indirectly as the very Irish "Mam" in the first book. The second book contains a line in which Artemis predicts he will be attracted to Holly when he reaches puberty that was removed from US editions. They needn't have bothered, since he was right, and you couldn't have hidden it in TTP without rewriting half the book. | |

Critical Psychoanalysis Failure | |
Artemis Fowl / int_7efe1c56 | comment |
Critical Psychoanalysis Failure: Artemis tends to have this effect on psychiatrists because he is much more intelligent than most psychiatrists and has read up on all the latest approaches to psychology. He can get them to diagnose him with whatever he wants. It helps that he's actually written some of the books his psychiatrists use to diagnose him. | |

Remote Vitals Monitoring | |
Artemis Fowl / int_82d9561a | comment |
Remote Vitals Monitoring: During his break-in into the Fowl manor, Boxed Crook Mulch Diggums is fitted with an iris-cam (basically a high-tech contact lens) that allows Foaly to monitor Mulch's vision and vital signs (and more importantly, track him down if he attempts to escape). After his job is done, Mulch digs into a rabbit burrow, starts shaking around and yelling that there's a cave-in, and puts the cam on the rabbit's eye before it dies to fake his death. Foaly notices "Mulch's" heart rate hitting that of a rabbit right after the iris-cam is transferred, and in the second book, he and Holly start investigating the possibility that Mulch survived. | |

Artistic License – Law: There's no way Amnesty International would have been able to keep Spiro's fortune, which Artemis donated to them. Even though Spiro will be a convicted criminal, he'd still be able to claim that the money transfer wasn't his — and it is not something a normal millionaire, much less one like Spiro, would be reasonably expected to do. And while Artemis' Swiss Bank Account is likely well hidden enough that the "finder's fee" could never be recovered, this won't be the case for Amnesty. | |

Step Servant | |
Artemis Fowl / int_83c7baa0 | comment |
Step Servant: Played With. A rare Laser-Guided Karma example mixed with Black Comedy. Opal is fleeing from the LEP when she crashes into the plantation of an old Italian man. Having had a pineal gland implanted on herself to become human (though still small as a pixie), she uses her last magic to hypnotize the woman into thinking that Opal is her daughter Belinda. Since Opal once used that trick with a rich man who spoiled her rotten, she thinks that history will repeat. Instead, the old man immediately treats Opal as her slave, forcing to do all the chores (with tools too big for her) under the threat of locking her up without food. And telling her to not make faces because Misery Builds Character. This is just for the first day. When the LEP find Opal, her hands are completely ruined by working on the man's vinedo, doing all the laundry, cleaning the pig pen, and peeling uncountable piles of potatoes. | |

Artemis Fowl / int_8404a0f3 | comment |
Amnesiac Dissonance: An odd case. After recovering from his mind-wipe, Artemis sees that he was regressing to his old criminal ways, as he had predicted he would. After all, his character growth had been the result of his experiences with the People... so removing all memory of those experiences negates all the good they had done him. Holly is visibly nervous when he brings this up because she knows how terrifyingly amoral he used to be. | |

Interspecies Romance Artemis and Holly develop a strong friendship over the series, and then thanks to time travel drawing their ages together and a stressful situation they actually kiss. Artemis quickly ruins it, for reasons personal to him. In Atlantis Complex, however, Orion really has a thing for Holly, and he claims Artemis still does as well. In The Atlantis Complex, Turnball Root's love for the human Leonor is what motivates him. | |

Memory Wipe Exploitation: Artemis and his associates agree to be mind-wiped of all fairy-related memories. Right before the mind wipe begins, Holly tells Juliet if she wants any of Juliet's memories of her to survive, it should be Holly telling her that she isn't cut out to become a bodyguard. Juliet promises to try to cling to that thought, and one of the first things she does after the mind wipe is drop out of bodyguard academy and sign up with an all-female wrestling troupe. | |

Deconstruction | |
Artemis Fowl / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Deconstruction: You know the legend about capturing a leprechaun and getting his gold? The first book deconstructs that tale. First, although leprechauns (or LEPRecons) don't have pots of gold, there is a hostage fund to ransom kidnapped officers. The keywords are "hostage" and "kidnapped". LEPRecons are elite officers of a sapient species much like humans, and they take a dim view of being kidnapped. In fact, humans who successfully abduct a LEPRecon are treated like terrorists, there is bureaucratic red tape involved in accessing the hostage fund, and it takes considerable ingenuity and amorality for Artemis to be able to pull off his scheme — demonstrating exactly what kind of person one needs to be to succeed. Even so, both he and Butler experience a Heel Realization upon realizing how human the fairies are. | |

Just One Second Out of Sync: How Time Stops work. Also how Artemis manages to escape the time-stop: he works out that a person cannot fall asleep or wake up while in the time-stop, so taking a sedative and forcing themselves to lose consciousness will remove them from it. Being Artemis, he tested this using Angeline's sleeping pills first: if it hadn't worked, he would have surrendered to the LEP. | |

Our Fairies Are Different | |
Artemis Fowl / int_90d5b651 | comment |
Our Fairies Are Different: The fairies call themselves "the People". They're technologically advanced, isolationist, and disdainful of the "Mud People" (humans). Interestingly, all of the fairies share a common ancestor: pterosaurs. Species we've seen: Elves: About three feet tall on average, with the proportions and appearance of an adult human. Have pointy ears and exceptionally strong healing powers. Atlantian elves: Some elves living in Atlantis have evolved fish-like attributes such as scales and gills. Dwarfs: Perhaps slightly taller than elves, seeing as Mulch frequently passes as a very short human. Generally resemble squat, hairy elves. Have little magic but a myriad of evolved gifts from their eons of tunnelling. Goblins: Look almost nothing like elves, apart from size. They're humanoid lizards with forked tongues and the ability to conjure fireballs. Magic-less and incredibly stupid. Gnomes: Perpetual red shirts of the fairy world, gnomes are basically fatter, uglier elves. All seem to be Obstructive Bureaucrats. Pixies: Smaller and slighter than elves. Delicate but fierce. Sprites: Like elves, but green-skinned and possessed of functional wings. Demons: Taller than other species, at around four to five feet. Scaly, horned, extremely strong, with stubby tails. Magic-less except for the warlocks, who never "warp"—the painful process of accelerated puberty demon imps undergo. Centaurs: Pretty much what it says on the tin, but much, much smaller. Magic-less; they rely on intellect, which they have in spades. Trolls: Hulking, shaggy, apelike predators, nonsapient, with tusks, retractable claws and venomous bites. | |

Literalist Snarking: When Mulch manipulates Pex and Chips into burying him alive by calling them "a pair of overdeveloped, single-cell Cro-Magnons", Pex manages to mangle his comeback into "Nobody calls me an overdeveloped, signal-bell crow magnet". Mulch's wholehearted agreement with this statement is based less on Pex being intimidating and more on the fact that a phrase so nonsensical rarely gets said at all. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |
Artemis Fowl / int_957e5fc2 | comment |
Villainous Breakdown: Spiro in Book 3, after Artemis not only escapes from him, but calls the SWAT team, steals the Cube, and basically screws Spiro over after he had everything he could ever want in his hands. Spiro goes berserk, shooting up the room in an attempt to hit the disappeared Artemis. He's calmed down by the time the SWAT team are leading him out, but then Artemis whispers a parting shot in his ear as he invisibly floats past, and Spiro "howl[s] at the ceiling like a demented wolf." Kronski suffers a particularly spectacular one, getting his lifelong-lost sense of smell restored . . . in the middle of a leather souk. Things go downhill from there. The entirety of The Last Guardian is one for Opal, not that she was particularly stable to begin with. | |

Then, when they arrive in the past, Artemis is aged and Holly rejuvenated to the point where their age disparity disappears. For bonus points, thinking about this disturbs Holly. That almost crosses the line from Ship Tease to Unresolved Sexual Tension. | |

Heel–Face Brainwashing: The protagonists mind-wipe Loafers McGuire after he finds out about the fairy world.

Later in the book, Artemis, Butler, and Juliet undergo Laser-Guided Amnesia as well, though the LEP are more careful this time and only erase the parts having to do with fairies. Ironically, this wipes out all the Character Development Artemis had over the past three books, turning him back into a Villain Protagonist. | |

Stealing from Thieves | |
Artemis Fowl / int_9ea277d2 | comment |
Stealing from Thieves: In The Eternity Code, after being double-crossed by Chicago Mob-associated businessman Jon Spiro, Artemis gets revenge on him by draining his bank accounts. He gives most of it as an Involuntary Charity Donation to Amnesty International, and keeps a small portion of it for himself as a "finder's fee". The Opal Deception features a Fictional Painting entitled "The Fairy Thief", which was stolen shortly after its completion and has only ever changed hands through theft. Artemis becomes the youngest person in history to steal it when he heists it from a high security bank vault in Munich. After his memories are restored, he breaks the cycle and anonymously gives it to a museum, with a note implying he plans to return more stolen art. | |

Artemis Fowl / int_a18042f1 | comment |
Left the Background Music On: when Minerva is being held captive, she mentally remarks that the situation is as tense as possible, and there's even theme music playing. Then she realizes the music is actually the Big Bad's cell phone ringing. | |

Year Inside, Hour Outside: During The Time Paradox Artemis and Holly spend about three days in the past, whilst for Foaly and No.1 it's ten seconds. This is played for laughs at the end of the book. Doubles as Leaning on the Fourth Wall as the reader leaves Foaly beginning to count to ten, sees the whole of Holly and Artemis's journey and "returns" when he says it was the longest ten seconds of his life. | |

The modified soft noses are supposedly unreliable, what with the misfires and self-destruction (a significant factor in Real Life equipment selection), and a good part of their danger comes from the vast amount of unintentional damage they can do in a high-tech underground complex. Standard LEP weaponry is technically superior in almost all respects. | |

MegaCorp: Koboi Industries, prior to Opal's incarceration, had many legitimate enterprises that manufactured "everything from weapon parts to medical equipment" and even ran illegal front companies that sold obsolete fairy technology to humans. This allows Opal to cripple both human and fairy technology when she murders her past self and causes the majority of Koboi technology to violently annihilate itself. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance | |
Artemis Fowl / int_aabe2fb | comment |
Deliberate Values Dissonance: The fairies have a certain set of cultural ideals that even they usually don't live up to regarding the relationships between civilization and the natural environment. Mostly this is played for laughs, such as them finding the idea of indoor plumbing and waste sanitation disgusting. Sometimes it gets a little weird when they find things that aren't exactly heinous from a human perspective to be worthy of reprogramming or execution. And sometimes they come off as total monsters, such as when the fairy narrator is openly approving, verging on gleeful, of a mass failure of technology with a death toll likely running into the billions, some of them incredibly horrifying. | |

Ridiculously Difficult Route | |
Artemis Fowl / int_ac9bfdcc | comment |
Ridiculously Difficult Route: In The Arctic Incident, Artemis and his friends are trying to find a way inside Koboi Labs. The good news: Mulch has a cousin who worked as a contractor during the labs' construction, and they discovered an underground fissure that leads straight to the labs' foundations. The bad news: the fissure opens and shuts periodically as it expands and contracts with heat from the Earth's core, it will only be wide enough for their shuttle to navigate safely for three minutes at a time, and it's at its widest in the few moments right before the next magma flare. | |

Must Be Invited | |
Artemis Fowl / int_b91eaeea | comment |
Must Be Invited: Any species capable of magic. Forcing your way in without an invitation is a good way to lose the entire contents of your stomach, and repeat offences cause loss of spellcasting. This is actually a weaker version of the original spell; once upon a time it would strike the victim instantly dead. (However, Loophole Abuse can be applied; a cry for help can be interpreted as an invitation, and in The Eternity Code Spiro inviting "all of Artemis' fairy friends" into the building in response to some calculated sarcasm is also accepted.) No. 1 removes this spell in book 6 — though the Council had to approve of it first. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
Artemis Fowl / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: At the beginning of the book, Opal forces Holly to choose between saving Commander Root and Artemis, then compounds the sadism by offering her a false third option. To add even more insult to injury, Opal didn't give Holly enough time to save Artemis even if Holly had left immediately, and it's only thanks to Butler that Artemis survives. When Artemis is given all the facts of the confrontation, he (in his own way) assures Holly that she did everything possible and even he can't think of a way she could have escaped that trap without prior knowledge of the situation she was about to find herself in. | |

She covers it with her LEP helmet, but the helmet crashes away and she has to outrun the deadly blue light. | |

All demons except the warlocks are primitive, bloodthirsty human-hating, but it's unclear whether this is innate or the result of generations of fear-conditioning by leaders like Leon Abbot.

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Dwarves. Seriously, at least one new one per book, kinda like Silver Age Superman. Along the course of the series, we learn that they can: tunnel by eating through earth, fire a devastating barrage of digested rocks/mud/whatever they just dug through, propel themselves underwater and ignore the bends because of intestinal bacteria, have saliva that works as a healing balm, can cling to walls if dehydrated, have glow-in-the-dark spit, which can also solidify to trap enemies AND contains a sedative capable of knocking people out (how exactly is only explained as far as Mulch's comment that "You didn't fall asleep because I didn't do your head"), have prehensile beards/antennae (very handy lockpicks/emergency automatic surgical needles) . . . Lampshaded. "Even the dwarves don't know most of their abilities," | |

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome | |
Artemis Fowl / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Both Minerva Paradizo and Doodah Day move into seemingly significant positions to the story arc in Book 5. The sixth book is set mainly in the past, so it's easy to see why they aren't mentioned, but the justification vanishes in books 7 and 8. At the end of Lost Colony, Doodah is said to have started working as a private detective along with Mulch Diggums. Mulch is actively involved in The Atlantis Complex and not only does he not seem to be working as a detective, but there is also no mention of what Doodah is doing. By the time of The Last Guardian, Mulch is apparently a wanted criminal once again with still no mention of Doodah. Minerva has just had the masquerade curtain lifted and the fairy world revealed to her—not to mention that she's a precocious teen genius like Artemis and shouldn't be able to stay off his agenda if she tries. At the end of Book 5, she is stated to have spent three years obsessing over Artemis, waiting for him to return—she was, of course, set up as a very obvious Love Interest. No further mention in the three books. Word of God says she's dating a skier in the Alpes Maritime and has moved past Artemis. Good to know, but still not very satisfying closure for such a strong character. | |

Hope Spot: Near the end of The Last Guardian, when Artemis tries to escape the Berserker Gate before it activates and kills him. He manages to jump out of the crater and begins to pass through the magical barrier. Holly is holding his hand, pulling him through, and Artemis thinks that a new life is ahead of him as an ambassador between humans and the People. And then the Gate kicks in and Artemis is dragged back in the crater. Butler doesn't make it to pull him out. Of course, it was only a Disney Death, but still. The Berserker Bellico in The Last Guardiannote "Bellicose" means aggressive or warlike. | |

My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Nº1 is intellectual and gentle at heart, but all the other demons he grew up with were "hit first, question later" Blood Knights overflowing with machismo. After years of trying to fit in, this (and some hypnotic prodding) leads him to leave the island. Turns out, though, that he's not like the rest because he's the first warlock to appear in ages, and warlocks just don't have the same bloodlust that most demons do. | |

Artemis is confident that Spiro won't try anything in public, but then it turns out that all of the patrons (even an 80 year old lady!) and staff are armed thugs working for Spiro, who walks off with the tech and leaves the thugs to kill Artemis. | |

Social Services Does Not Exist | |
Artemis Fowl / int_cf6541ad | comment |
Social Services Does Not Exist: An aversion is discussed: in the epilogue of the first book, the person profiling Artemis theorizes that the reason he wanted Holly to heal his mother was not due to filial affection, but because social services were about to figure out that his father was missing and his mother was not functional, and he needed a way to keep them from designating him a ward of the state and sending him to a foster home. | |

Artistic Licence – Biology: Fairy taxonomy. All the fairy families apparently share a common descent from pterosaurs despite each family being physically very distinct. The first book mentions a goblin/elf hybrid, and goblins are reptilian, suggesting they're at most of the same genus. Even more baffling after we learn humans were the Ninth Family before losing their magic. | |

Inconveniently Vanishing Exonerating Evidence: Commander Root has a belt full of explosives locked on him and supposedly the only way to disarm it is to shoot a tiny corner of the attached screen displaying the villain's face. Holly Short shoots the screen to save Root, but the villain was lying and it explodes anyway. To the security cameras surrounding them, the belt and screen were invisible, so it looks like she shot the commander to death. | |

Race Lift: Holly Short and elves in general are described as brown-skinned and, except for the pointy ears, able to pass as short humans in the books, but the graphic novels give her skin as fair as Artemis's. More subtly, the Butler siblings are described as noticeably part-Asian in the books, Butler passing easily for Chinese at one point despite being blue-eyed and terrifyingly tall. It's not noticeable in the graphic novels at all, to the point where Juliet looks like a Palette Swap of Angeline. | |

Science Is Good: The series tends to show science as a good thing used by both humans and fairies. Although fairies have magic, they also use advanced technology and Magitek. It is mentioned that without science and technology, the fairies would be unable to hide underground and probably would have been wiped out by the more primitive but far more numerous humans. | |

Ship Tease | |
Artemis Fowl / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: Artemis hugs Holly to activate a weight-sensitive panel to open a locked door. Holly kissing Artemis in Book 6 and more. They have to undress down to underwear and then hold hands in order to Time Travel. N°1 makes a parting shot about pronouncing them "man and elf". Then, when they arrive in the past, Artemis is aged and Holly rejuvenated to the point where their age disparity disappears. For bonus points, thinking about this disturbs Holly. That almost crosses the line from Ship Tease to Unresolved Sexual Tension. For the non-Artolly shippers, Book 7 reveals that Holly and Trouble Kelp went on at least one date. Also in Book 7, Orion. While he usually spends time pointing out how much he loves Holly, he also lets it slip early on that Artemis also has similar feelings, but chooses to hide them. Book five covers the time period in which Artemis experiences puberty. Being Artemis, the enormous mass of new-found emotions and hormones is little more than an annoyance, but also, being Artemis, he has no trouble mentioning this annoyance whenever he's distracted by a pretty face. This also just happened to be the book in which Minerva- essentially a slightly younger, Distaff Counterpart to Artemis Fowl- heavily features. Furthermore, he actually mentioned feeling attraction towards her, specifically. And yet, beyond these passing mentions, the matter comes up roughly twice: once when they get along incredibly well on the phone, which lasts about twenty seconds, since they are currently attempting to ruin each other's plans, and again towards the end at Minerva's side when she is revealed to have been thinking about Artemis in an admiring sense. The Last Guardian has the scene where Artemis and Holly attempt to out gambit each other from performing a Heroic Sacrifice. Quelle suprise, Artemis wins, but the scene wouldn't be out of place in a romantic drama with more traditional love interests. He kisses her goodbye, too. And when he comes back to life he and Holly are left in a field of roses. Ahem.note She is at the minimum spending a great deal of time with him following the events which are being narrated in The Last Guardian. Ahem. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
Artemis Fowl / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Mulch Diggums is introduced as part of the background noise of Haven in Book 1, then returns to play a vital role in the siege. He goes on to become part of the main cast. Turnball Root, introduced in the short story "LEPrecon", resurfaces as the antagonist of Atlantis Complex. That sprite who told Turnball how to re-acquire some magic? That's the first supernatural being who ever appeared on-screen: the fairy who loaned Artemis the copy of the Book way back at the beginning of the series. Given that she hadn't appeared since the first chapter of the first book, and this was the seventh, this probably is also a Brick Joke. It's also to clean up Fridge Logic, because fairies are shown to lose their magic in certain situations, which this sprite may have been in, yet she retained enough magic power to heal some few human maladies. In Book 4, Opal has herself cloned and leaves the clone in the Argon clinic during a jailbreak so no one will suspect she has gone missing. In Book 8 she gets her hands on a magical superweapon which becomes magically encoded to only respond to her DNA . . . guess who Artemis enlists to disarm the weapon. | |

Artemis Fowl / int_de9047ac | comment |
Gambit Pileup: The first book starts simple enough. Fowl faction vs LEPrecon in a hostage standoff. Then Mulch has his own agenda, Cudgeon has his own agenda, Holly's agenda shifts away from Root's agenda, and then there's a troll. In The Time Paradox, Artemis versus Opal. One particular example: When he takes off in the Cessna, it looks as though they are all trying to make a break for it . . . but then Opal uses her thermal imager to see there is only one passenger. She guesses it is a decoy . . . but then notices Artemis is concealing the lemur's body heat under his shirt. That's what he wanted her to see. | |

Exact Words | |
Artemis Fowl / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: While in the household of a "mud man," a fairy is compelled to obey their orders. However, these orders must be phrased precisely: saying stuff like "You really shouldn't do such-and-such" won't stop them from doing it; you have to actually say "don't do it" or "you may not." | |

Wall Crawl: One of the dwarves’ adaptations is the ability to absorb moisture through their pores, which enlarge when dehydrated. While this is useful if you are trapped in a cave in, Mulch makes use of their suction-cup pores to scale glass buildings. | |

Never a Self-Made Woman | |
Artemis Fowl / int_efc1d647 | comment |
Never a Self-Made Woman: Juliet grew up wanting nothing more than to duplicate her brother's accomplishments as a bodyguard and live up to the family name. Book 3 has her coming to terms with this attitude. Unfortunately for Juliet fans, her refusal of the bodyguard profession and conscious attempt to level in badass mean joining a lucha libre troupe in Mexico and disappearing for the next three books. Subverted with Opal Koboi. Even though her father was already successful in her chosen field, he never encouraged or helped her in any way and basically wanted her to stay in the kitchen. Her company quickly put his company out of business. Averted with Holly. She's actually the first female LEP Recon officer, a major plot point of Book 1. | |

No Eye in Magic | |
Artemis Fowl / int_f0b0f1d | comment |
No Eye in Magic: The fairy Mesmer, which allows the fairy to hypnotize and control a person, requires direct eye contact. Reflective lenses such as shades will block it (and, on one memorable occasion, mirror-surfaced contact-lenses are used to covertly block a Mesmer), but it can be conveyed across video-link, albeit at a significant power-loss. (Strong-willed people can shrug off Mesmer if it's by video. With direct eye-contact, the best you can hope for is to resist violently enough to die rather than carry out the commands of your fairy master). | |

Other fantasy species, while not actually extraterrestrial, have strong sci-fi vibes, given their advanced technologies and stuff. | |

Drives Like Crazy Mulch Diggums, who describes his driving technique as "focus on the wheel and the pedals, and ignore everything else." And in The Eternity Code, he scoffs at Juliet when she points out to him that he can't reach the brakes. Doodah Day is even worse. He's an infamously skilled driver, possibly the best in the world, just very cavalier about it. He flies a pod, meant for riding magma flares, several miles over the French countryside. While sitting on Mulch's lap. | |

Brick Joke | |
Artemis Fowl / int_fe0330fb | comment |
That sprite who told Turnball how to re-acquire some magic? That's the first supernatural being who ever appeared on-screen: the fairy who loaned Artemis the copy of the Book way back at the beginning of the series. Given that she hadn't appeared since the first chapter of the first book, and this was the seventh, this probably is also a Brick Joke. It's also to clean up Fridge Logic, because fairies are shown to lose their magic in certain situations, which this sprite may have been in, yet she retained enough magic power to heal some few human maladies. | |

You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious | |
Artemis Fowl / int_feaf5424 | comment |
You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Bodyguard etiquette demands that Butler never reveal his first name to Artemis, to keep their relationship professional. He reveals it in Book 3, after he's been shot and believes himself to be dying—it's Domovoi, a slavic word meaning guardian spirit. If Holly calls Commander Root 'Julius', it unfailingly means she's about to disobey an order or do something else that will annoy him. As he well knows. In The Opal Deception, Mulch only refers to the Atlantean sea-elf Vishby by his real name once, when he's imploring him to flee a submarine moments before it gets crushed by immense water pressure. The rest of the time he uses the demeaning nickname "Fishboy". | |

Artemis Fowl / int_ffba487b | comment |
Finger Firearms: Foaly arms Commander Root with a Tranquilizer Dart gun attached to his finger and hidden with latex, since he can't be seen to be armed in a hostage negotiation. According to Foaly, they aren't used often because the concealment is so good that people forget that they're wearing them, resulting in friendly fire incidents (apparently, one officer accidentally set it off while he was picking his nose). He doesn't end up using it during the negotiation, and the gun isn't mentioned again until much later in the book, when Root accidentally-on-purpose gets Cudgeon with it when the latter is breaking down over his brief takeover collapsing. | |
