I have full analyses I've been wanting to actually do and gather images for over the entire past year, but in the meantime, have this <3.

Yeah, sure, I'll make up stuff about those blue things that show up for maybe 2 seconds at most. Why not.

I imagine it's very funny to be reused graphics.

Carl and Monogram knows Stacy knows. Vanessa knows Perry's secret and being a former OWCA intern. Stacy and Vanessa are now friends. Vanessa and Monty dating again. Candace was present during the robot agent fight of Where's Perry. Candace is friends with Robot Candace whose scrap metal was presumably picked up by OWCA. Candace accepted Perry as a secret agent in AT2D with ease. She casually accepts the Talking Zebra's presence. Candace saw Perry fighting Doof at the same time she saw the Zebra. Candace is on better terms with Perry than she used to be. Candace knowing Doof is Vanessa's dad. Candace as an unofficial agent of the alliance and a trusted ally of Meap who works as space law enforcement. Candace took down Super Super Big Doctor, and Mitch several times, and was Queen of Mars. Candace is a future lawyer. And OWCA is… well… OWCA….

Candace at the very least doesn't know that Stacy is now affiliated with OWCA.

Stacy, Vanessa, Monty, Carl all associated with OWCA (whose jurisdiction extends only to the US and is otherwise morally grey) and Perry's secret.

Candace associated with intergalactic law enforcement, lawyers and busting.

You know, it sure would be a shame if these came in conflict with each other.

shin [magikey user "veridic"] basic information #magikey au by @quartztwst (ft.shinii the magical girl hunter)

"can someone tell crowley to stop watching over me?? i didn’t even do anything! (lie)"

origin story

shin is a relatively new magical person, having been one for only seven months at the age of 16. unlike most people, they were never a fan of the magical people. they were either neutral or subtly critical, questioning the situation while others gushed over the heroes.

"does no one find it suspicious that these enemies keep showing up? or that some of them resemble the past magical people??"

convinced there was something sinister brewing beneath the surface, shin began investigating. though they looked like any other average high schooler, shin was already a well-known figure among the city's police officers, often assisting the law enforcement team (whether it wanted the help or not) with tricky cases.

but during one of these investigations, they got caught in a villain attack. injured and cornered, shin thought their time was up—until a glowing key appeared before them.

with no other choice, they used the key to transform and defeated the villain. becoming a magikey user, however, was a double-edged sword. on one hand, it granted shin a firsthand view of the magical society and its secrets. on the other, it placed them directly under the scrutiny of crowley, someone shin didn't fully trust.

now, seven months into their role as "veridic", shin walks a fine line, balancing their secret investigation with their newfound magical responsibilities.

status

mental/emotional strength: ★★★★☆ (veridic's experience growing up under pressure had taught them to stay calm and focused.)

physical strength: ★★★☆☆ (while slightly below average in strength as a civilian, the magikey boosts their strength when transformed.)

stamina: ★★☆☆☆ (long fights drain veridic quickly. they excel as a support and rely on allies for extended battles.)

strategy: ★★★★★ (veridic is brilliant at forming plans and adapting them on the fly, allowing them to stay several steps ahead.)

strengths: veridic's intelligence and adaptability make them invaluable in investigative work.

weaknesses: veridic struggles in direct combat, relying more on strategy than brute force. enemies who are both strong and intelligent present a major challenge.

a hunter’s pattern

it had been an ordinary tuesday when shin walked into the police station, expecting the usual exchange of banter and case updates.

"yo! your favorite menace is back here yet again oof—"

but immediately, they were almost sent to the floor as an officer bumped into them. he muttered a quick apology and a "car accident” as he and others rushed out the door.

accidents weren’t part of shin's specialty (murder cases were). usually, they would leave it to the professionals, but this one happened near where they lived, so shin felt they should at least check it out (and honesty they were kinda bored). without asking for permission, they slipped into the police car, and by now, the officers knew better than to argue.

when they arrived at the scene, it looked like any other tragic car accident. nothing was out of the ordinary, except for the fact that shin recognized the victim: a magical girl they had once worked with as veridic. as shin scanned the area, their eyes landed on the victim's bag, items spilling out beside her, and immediately felt off.

only after approaching the bag and watching an officer carefully sifted through it, placing items aside to check for the victim's identification, did that feeling of unease suddenly clicked into place—the magikey was missing.

initially, shin didn't think much of it, writing it off with excuses like maybe it got lost during the crash (after the clean up, they asked the officers if a key had been found. they didn't.), or maybe the victim left it at home (unlikely, magical users usually keep their keys with them at all time).

but over the next few months, more similar cases unfolded—magical users shin recognized, all found dead, and each time, the magikey was gone.

by the fourth case, shin was confident. this was no coincidence. it was a pattern.

someone was targeting the magical people and stealing their magikeys.

Red bull can spin this however they want, clearly but you don’t just go from having two title sponsors to zero title sponsors in less than a year for no reason. And it’s not brand cohesion or simplifying the messaging…

@orangerosebush's post here, with my comment and @fowlblue's tags today got me thinking.

Artemis Senior has been teaching his son matters of business from a young age. Not only was Artemis, at 11 years old, discussing stocks with his father, but Fowl Senior had been imparting his wisdom onto his son for years by that point, discussing the ever-increasing value of gold with him before tucking him into bed. Even outside of pure monetary value, Sr. had tried to go legitimate with his business dealings, leading Artemis to have a few legal ventures of his own.

We also see very early on in the books that Artemis has been regularly using Butler as a resource for his plots: bouncing ideas off him was apparently a fairly common tactic when he was scheming.

Both Artemis Senior and Butler are interested in (or at least, not opposed to) educating Artemis on the ways of their lifestyle(s). It would be Artemis Senior who would have taught his son the value of banks and safety deposit boxes and hidden safes but it was Butler who was actively working with Artemis to rob those safety deposit boxes.

In the same vein of breaking-and-entering, TLC also gives us the fun little moment where Butler hands Artemis his own lockpicks, to get into the workings of the bomb.

With one line we learn that Artemis knows how to pick locks, but does not have his own set of lockpicks. Butler, on the other hand, has both the tools and knowledge how to use them. Partnered with a brief mention in TTP of some the specific trades of those previously employed by Artemis Senior (including such things as crime lords, insider traders, and cat burglars), we can extrapolate that Artemis Senior would generally hire someone to pick a lock for him, rather than do so himself.

It's pretty logical to conclude then that Artemis learned big-picture management from his father, and day-to-day skillsets from his bodyguard.

Essentially, Artemis Senior taught Artemis how to run a criminal empire. Butler taught Artemis how to be a criminal.

i see your "Rachel Bronev". i also see all those true and wonderful "Rachel Bronev deserved better/should have lived/could have escaped/could have joined Targent/no fridging etc" takes. and i so bring to you:

Rachel Bronev survives, escapes Targent and becomes the Descole of the AU

TL;DR she heard her husband now runs the cult that kidnapped them and separated them from their children, and she's making that everyone else's problem (but especially Targent's).

i admit i haven't come up with a villain name or a proper set look on her costume yet lol. but she looks fabulous anyway.

(i also call it the "Putting the 'Domestic' in 'Domestic Terrorism' AU" for fun, and because i haven't come up with anything better/funnier to name yet :U)
