Shadowgeist of Fanfics

You assume he would? He doesn't even need to attack Sholmes; he could just misstep and fall off the desk

Did he get clonked on the head or did he just pass out? I mean, at least he doesn't look badly hurt

Probably an odd new thing to pick up in Genshin and Jigoku's eyes, but no doubt they're just glad he's enjoying himself. After all, Yujin's looking WAY happier now than he was before they left Japan.

Gotta love Klavier and Trucy being in-law besties

Welp, time to deal with a week of fucked up sleep, appetite, and body temperature regulation.

Whoop-de-doo...

You too? I was wondering why I was weirdly teary-eyed for the past few days. Joke's on me for forgetting how SAPPY I get when my shark week rolls around!

The children yearn for Electro-Swing, as the meme goes.

Kinda weird to see that knowing Barok presumably has a full sword of his own, or else his sword sprite wouldn't exist.

I think most of the music from Hollow Knight and Silksong fit pretty squarely in the category of classical music. Christopher Larkin made a lot of incredible music for those games, with and without vocal performances involved.

This seems like them talking to a suspect. I would imagine both of them are a lot nicer with witnesses, at least unless they find something amiss about what they're saying that might incriminate them.

Also, underage witnesses almost definitely bring out their parental sides.

This feels like it was originally a Hollow Knight post, seeing as husks are a good bunch of enemies, vessels are technically main characters intended to have no thoughts or will of their own, and a malevolent entity piloting the husks AND one of said vessels is the overarching villain of the story.

Genshin, just be glad you and YOUR white boyfriend have a white GIRLfriend who can balance him out.

I don’t think either of your injuries should really be found desirable over the other gentlemen. By the time you three get home, the wife will be fussing over both of you and your injuries by about the same amount either way.

Copypasted the link in a reply to see the thumbnail. Nice try, Var

Probably says smth that 1/2 the Christians in my life might call his "let God decide" line blasphemous, so I'd be less surprised if he was an atheist. Especially when combined with his struggle with grief & the disillusionment with religion that his line of work can easily cause.

Makes me kinda curious whether or not atheism would fare any better

The baby dragon is so adorable oml it's precious!

Accurate. Even if the kids say they want to keep him because he's funny and does such cool stuff, the dads know he'd just be one BAD influence who may or may not even like kids at this point anyway.

Story of my life, both as an introvert and as a night owl who normally sleeps late. I can't tell you how many times the first thing I would hear when I wake up (usually no earlier than 9 am) is some iteration of a mildly condescending "Morning, Sleeping Beauty!"

In case a certain few factors of Merletta's appearance and personality didn't give the immediate impression, yes, she is a mainline ancestor. Specifically, her descendant is the one and only Great Thief of the Investigations games, Kay Faraday!

Whichever one I wind up going for, I'm planning on a happy ending.

Haven't really given much thought to Merle having an active love interest in DGS, canon or otherwise. The only two options that really come to mind are Albert Harebrayne and Satoru Hosonaga.

Definitely some kind of black bird. A starling would be my first choice. A "Starletta" charm, if you will.

Sherlock Holmes. If it seems he might make a wrong call during his Dance of Deduction, she's the first to railroad him in the right direction. She immediately calls bad vibes on Lord Mael Stronghart as well, not wanting to be near him. Even Jigoku is a little iffy to her for associating with him.

The Van Zieks brothers, naturally; primarily Barok and his friend Albert, since they're all about the same age. She easily becomes a dear friend of Balmung. Merle even earns Genshin's favor and trust along with the friendship of Lady Adelia, Klint's wife, for accepting and helping them when needed.

Living and working alongside the Van Zieks family and their associates, -- namely Genshin and Yujin -- she essentially becomes something of a sister to Barok and Klint, and eventually Iris's godmother.

Thankfully, no. In fact, she's meant to keep a good chunk of them from happening, at least as we know them.

Precanon, as previously stated.

Merletta grew up on a farm in the territory of Wales, her family being known for the entire textile process, from raising sheep to tailoring clothes.
She arrives in London as a newly-graduated legal student certified by Klint's own mentor: the Lord Chief Justice, Leonard Blackmoor.
