literally as a pacing and stakes decision it’s baffling because that sets up the precedent that even the main volumes could just be retconned/etc in the future

I get the choice of being able to decide how much/little is real but at the same time there’s just not much clear narrative benefit to it either? I don’t think the surrounding text is richer for “aand none of it was reallll 🪄🪄” certainly

Day five billion and whatever of wondering hey. Why DID bro decide to go “here’s a book full of more lore than your mentally unwell ass could ever dream of” and follow it up with “also almost none of it is real, delete it off your spreadsheet. Now”

Here’s some cosplay photos of Inspector Irratino !! These are my absolute favourites of the shoot, and just thought to post these here for the murdle crowd!

This blazer is so so comfortable by the way, it also gets me so many compliments when I wear it out <3

Counterpoint: Logico owns a houseboat. He did not necessarily buy the houseboat, whether it was a gift to lay low from the authorities, DC, or a secret third thing (Irratino), well!

Working on the assumption most people aren't reading kid's puzzle books (although it is a pretty fun, more relaxed time if you fancy it!), I've compiled a list of main series related observations. Please only read if you don't mind spoilers - and the kids aren't mentioned much since they are Jr originals.

The book seems to take place between books 1 and 2 (plausibly could be during book 1, but unlikely)

Many of the events of book 2 and 3 were in motion beforehand, especially with Tekco

Rose, Raspberry and Indigo all have kids - Indigo's specifically is Olivia, one of the main detectives

This means Logico helped murder his junior employee's dad during book 3 (ouch)

Applegreen, Lapis, Saffron and Ruby work in the same school, alongside Raspberry Jr

Emerald and Earl Grey are neighbours

Logico seems to be a bit famous now, at least enough for strangers to recognise him and to be signing stuff

The Detective club is really well funded, and Logico appears to be in a high-up role, if not the president

Irratino is a "pretty swell" Uncle (likely a second cousin rather than secret sibling)

Irratino is consequently pretty good with kids

Logico is TERRIBLE with kids

Irratino has multiple classic secret levers and switches installed for secret rooms and passages in the II (something we'd all probably do with comical amounts of money to be fair)

Irratino has great memory, and has the entire Institute memorised (which may also be how he can navigate the impossible maze with little trouble)

While it's no surprise, Irratino is confirmed as a habitual wonderer and prone to boredom (AuDHD king)

Irratino is similar to Logico in that he likes being included as a suspect when relevant

Logico either does a decent amount of undercover work, or has a LOT of side jobs

Logico earns what I believe is his first colour association - marzipan! (Suitably beige in my opinion)

At least two of the four detectives don't recognise Logico with a very mild change in appearance (mustache and hat) but clearly know who he is - either face blindness is super common in Murdle, or Logico is gathering an army of specifically autistic children

Logico has a houseboat (unclear if it's a full-time home or for the case - I like to imagine it is indeed his)

Logico is good with computers - at least good enough to stump a tech prodigy

Logico is kinda bad at tone/jokes

The DC and II seem to be at least a little linked together now - Logico tries to recruit two of the kids at the II, and Irratino helps with a DC training exercise as a "favour"

The II has at least one other branch, on the Violet Isles

A funny possible plot hole - Logico knew at least part of SPY was corrupt before the events of book 3 (between that and SoM, I'm starting to think Logico got hit a bit too hard during chessboxing - that or I'm checking timelines in a children's book)

Logico not only successfully pulls off the patented Tino-death-trick, but Irratino (presumably) fails to pull off the same trick

Logico is, and I cannot overstate this, the dopiest, most awkward motherfucker on the planet. Seriously, it's so funny seeing him without his internal dialogue colouring all his actions. It's like if Columbo was actually Like That. He thinks he's super cool and awesome and he's actually Laios from dunmeshi (AuDHD king). He's smart in the logic department but the rest of his brain is empty.

NO BUT SERIOUSLY. He earnestly does the Perry the Platypus disguise TWICE. He wears his hat under a second hat in case he needs to do a dramatic reveal. He lets children go to a wartorn country and solve several murders with no plan while believing that this is a totally planned excursion. HE HIRES A CAT. HE LETS A SMALL CHILD BELIEVE HE IS GONNA BE A DETECTIVE BEFORE GOING "oh no sorry that's for the cat, welcome to the force Mr McPaws" WITH GENUINE SERIOUS INTENTIONS.

If I'm honest, I think the cat might be the smartest detective there (including the adults)

gay people can never flirt normally its always murder

watching everyone else tear through school of mystery while I'm still waiting for an opportunity to go to a bookshop and pick it up

that said I am really looking forward to getting into the swing of everything next month, I've really missed it in my routine :o

Come one, come all, to the show of a lifetime!

being in the tumblr murdle fandom is so funny because anybody can post anything about it and the same, like, 6 people will answer. Any post I see i can reliably guess what blogs will be there. It’s honestly the best. Taking roll call. 😂

I take breaks from drawing murdle men by drawing murdle women so have miss saffron

[inspector-irratino]

yeah I also repeat it to myself but like it's a professor layton climax explanation and that helps keep everything solid

When I solve the daily puzzle on the Murdle website I always repeat the solution to myself like “Lady Violet. Cufflinks. Tennis Court. Hide an affair” as though I were singing the “finance trust fund 6’5 blue eyes” TikTok song

You'll need an account to view this fic. It's also 18+, so if you are a minor then the fic isn't for you.

Oh, Irratino was *smug*. There was so much in that wry smile that Logico wanted so badly to kiss, but such were the rules of the game. Logico tapped the wood of the table with his free hand, trying to centre his thoughts as Irratino was running rings around him. This - he had been assured - was 'no machination of the occult', but that could mean anything. He'd already tried - and been caught out on - the sleeve technique for hiding spare cards, and had rolled his button-down sleeves up and taken off his cardigan to emphasise that that was no longer a route he could go down.

~~

After losing a game of cards, Logico has to meet his end of the wager in the form of Irratino demonstrating the effects of being under hypnosis for the first time, just to see what it feels like.

The opposite of a mansion murder mystery where everyone present is a bounty hunter who really wants to take credit for the murder and the detective has to find out who really did it
