Heyyy! IDK if you do headcanons on the Dark Parables but if so, can you do headcanons on the fairytale detective pls?
@bffanatic234
Oh.. wow, I was not expecting this! Always wonderful to see and talk to another DP Fan in the wilds, I normally don't write headcannons nor requests but ya know what, I might as well give it a shot, who knows, I'd may be up for doing more of these in the future! So Please feel free to ask! :)
Note: These are just my take with the Fairytale Detective from my POV while playing the games. Right off the bat, The games establishes the the Detective is female via canon, so that's what I'll be working with as well as Including SPOILERS for some of the games, I'll also be adding in bits of my own personal writing headcannons for the series as well so I hope you don't mind that. (And I'm Terribly sorry that this has been so, so long in the making.)
The Fairytale Detective is Autistic hands down, No- I will not fight anyone on this, you can pry this idea from my cold dead hands before I say that is this girlie isn't Autistic.
With being Autistic, her main hyperfixations included but not limited to: Fairy tales, Magic and spooky themed items, Classic lit and Gothic Lit, Puzzles, Constellations and the Moon's phases among many other things but these are the ones that she can list off from the top of her head when asked.
She has extremely long hair but she doesn't like having her hair down around her neck- so she constantly puts it up. Mainly within a ponytail to keep it out of her face. (She can wear it down for a good while but I'd say after at least 2 hours, her hair would need to go back up before it starts bugging her.)
She Has a Black Cat chain necklace with a little golden gem acting as the connector between the charm and the chain, She calls this her lucky charm and doesn't leave anywhere without it.
She loves the very little tiny details within most objects she picks up during her cases, If she could, she would keep almost every overly ornate thing that catches her eyes. Mainly the tiaras from the Exiled Prince case and the Moon Stone and the Moon Essence's Bottle-yes, just the bottle itself- from The Red Riding Hood Sisters Case.
Surprisingly, She is NOT a polyglot. AKA: Someone who knows several languages. Despite people thinking she is one due to her cases, the most she knows is a few phrases and words in both Spanish and French-but she isn't an expert with these unlike her native language, English.
Because of the language barrier, Somehow, The Veil of the fairytale world is able to translate everything for her into english even if it's written in another language.
Due to some of the events from her cases, She will suddenly bolt awake within the middle of the night for almost no reason from time to time. On the good days she's just mildly stunned as she looks around her room wondering where she is before checking the time on her phone and tries to fall back asleep. (Unsuccessfully most nights.)
On the bad nights however- She wakes up crying and shaking in place, out of breath- as her mind begins to replay the events that haunted her dreams for the remainder of the night. (ie: Killing James, Not being able to save The Wolf Queen and Raphael, Watching Snow's grief being used to hurt people Etc.) She doesn't sleep at all when those happen...
Because of this habit of suddenly waking during the night, she has developed a horrendous case of insomnia as a way to avoid the bad nights and this issue isn't helped by the fact that majority of her cases take place during the night. Which causes her to burn more energy due to how active her cases require her to be and in turn, forces her to stay awake for much longer than normal.
Long story short, It's a vicious cycle of her being awake until she's gets a chance to just passes out at home for a long time in a dreamless sleep due to exhaustion. But at least this way... She at least gets some semblance of sleep, however little it may be.
She does have good dreams despite these issues, but they are extremely rare for her to have, but because of this- it allows her to remember them much more clearer than her nightmares.
The one that has been the most recent and reoccurring one, is her in a field surrounded by different kinds of wildflowers all around her as two little girls and, who the detective assumes to be their father, plays with them as the girls suddenly calls out to their mama as they look towards her, all three beings having cat ears for some reason... whenever she wakes from this one, She's crying a little bit because it felt so real to her.
Most days when she's not dealing with cases: she's either asleep, dealing with her classwork, playing computer games/video games, Chatting online with friends, helping her family out or watching Crime shows and animated Movies/shows.
(Some of her favorite crime shows are: Criminals Minds, Psych, and Leverage. and for movies: Beauty and the Beast (Animated 1991), Enchanted, Phantom Of The Opera/Into The Woods.)
She ABSOLUTELY hates the taste of Coffee, she would rather drink tea and other drinks such as: Water, Sweet Tea (American), Lemonade (American) or soda pop before she would even consider touching Coffee, she does like the smell of it when it's being brewed however.
EDIT: She doesn't drink any form of alcohol. She can't stand the smell of it and for personal reasons as well.
Her Absolute favorite scents are Lilacs, Burning Campfires/Burning Wood, Black Cherry, Apple Cinnamon, Coffee Brewing and the smell of a warm Summer Petrichor.
Because she's Autistic, some of her senses get overwhelmed via her cases (Floralia's pollen was killer on her lungs and sense of smell for example.) Due to this- she does need to take a few moments before forcing herself back into action to deal with the case at hand. (After the cases she tends to shutdown for at least an hour or two.)
EDIT: She also doesn't smoke due to her lungs being very weak and also due to hating cigarette smoke among other personal reasons.
Like any normal person, she also has a few phobias such as: spiders and heights, but she fully despises Dolls and Puppets of any kind, seeing or being near them. (This fear doesn't improve after the Final Cinderella case...nor when dealing with a Certain Count's personal collection.)
I personally think that the Detective is a very short girl, roughly around 4'11, as most of the places she goes to seem larger than life than she is. (She's 5'1 with her shoes on though, so don't feel too bad about her height.)
She has a small temper when people do actually bring up her height, She won't yell at people right off the bat, but she'll get the impression that they think she won't be able to solve the case that she was called in for, solely due to her height. She does know it's not out of malice, it really just annoys her in how common the idea is.
Fun Fact: She is actually taking college classes, but people around her, outside of her family and friends, Have thought she's at least 14 or even younger solely due to her height at times.
She doesn't like working on cases while dealing with her class assignments- but when she does get called into action during her projects-she get excused from them without repercussions- she doesn't really know how this deal work and has asked before, but nobody has given her a direct, straight answer. This fact annoys her, but she's not complaining about it, if it means she can sleep before 6am for once and not suffer in her grades- she'll take it.
She has never ever swore in her life. If she needs to express her anger via words, she will come up with her own words. Example: "Sweet Frank Sinatra, Holy Mother Teresa!" her personal favorite of these are "cheese and crackers." and 'Oh...Sugar Cookies!"
Her Music taste is variety. Ranging from 70'-early 2000's, Classical, Musicals show tunes, Everything but Rap Music, she will change the radio or whatever she's listening to from Rap Music automatically.
I personally see her as Asexual- She would rather have just the romance parts of dating and romantic gestures over anything else. I feel like she also considering herself to being possibly sex repulsed due to only wanting Fluffy romance- but she's still questioning that part of herself.
And Because of this, anything with Jack flirting with her makes her VERY uncomfortable to say the least, but Jack seems to be enough of a gentlemen to know when to back off from her and focus on the tasks given to him.
Julian's flirting however, makes her feel even more on edge than with jack's flirting. It makes her stomach do flips whenever Julian does it.
She originally wasn't planning on taking the job as a Detective at all and just focus on schoolwork/family issues, it wasn't until she got personally requested by the Heads of the Detective Agency she now works for to answer the call. So in a way, her bosses kinda twisted her arm on the matter in becoming a Detective. (The Letter was delivered to her via a Black Cat with Heterochromatic eyes... a little odd to her, but hey- weird things happen all the time.)
The Detective understands the lengths some of the villains that she encounters will go to for their goals, it's not right for them to risk the world doing so, but she can see why they were pushed to the brink of everything, and in a way feels terribly sorry for them, due to seeing this route as the only way to reach their goals. She always wants to help them in the end. Speaking of...
The Detective truly believes that she can save everyone from a terrible fate, but time and time again, the world around her proves her wrong. She hates that fact being shoved into her face every time she can't help someone at all.
Due to this, she tends to beat herself up because of it, Blaming herself thinking "What if I did this instead?" Or "if only I was quicker." it's not very often she thinks like this, but it does linger in the back of her mind, which inspires her to be better to do better as an ideal paragon. (she's not a paragon- She's Human.)
Out of All of the goddesses that she has met over her years as a detective, She has made a ranking list of what goddesses she likes, and who she detests because of their interactions or how the detective learns about them and how they treated people and followers.
Her List is the following: Likes- Selena: Goddess of the Moon, death, stories, and oceans and overseer of the Fairytale realm. Soleanna: The Goddess of the Sun, War, Life and Overseer of the Mortal Plane, Indifference- Flora: the Goddess of Balance and Nature, Overseer of Rosaria- The Realm of the Faes. Thalassa: The 'Goddess' of the Sea and Tides. (The Detective doesn't consider Thalassa a Goddess, as she's seems more like a nymph that was appointed by Selena to her.) Absolutely hates-Merida: The Goddess of Maidens and Twilights: Overseer of the Veil.
The Detective has a personal Vendetta towards the Maiden Goddess, due to the sole fact that the Goddess forbade the creation of more Fairy Godmothers and thus forcing young girls, who would normally be considered to be the ideal candidates as Cinderella, the girls The Maiden's Goddess's godmothers strive to find and help, to fend for themselves in (Possible) terrible situations, some of which could have been avoided if the Goddess stepped in and not wash her hands of the issues.
The Detective swears if she ever meets the Maiden Goddess in person, she IS going to call her out on the issues she made and grill her a new one. Noctis: The God of Shadows, Candles, and Forgotten souls is Fine in her book, but will never understand why he hooked up with Merida within all the realms.
She has known about Curseries long before her very first case. Although, she thought they were all just old wives tales while she was growing up and were used to scare kids, not ever realizing that they were very real, and very dangerous beings to deal with.
Yet what surprised her the most was that her own heart would belong to a certain Crooked Cat when she became a Detective later in her life.
Nor the fact that she- herself, would find the abilities of a Cursery, the possibility of Finally having the means to help people, taking a powerful shapeshifter as a lover who's extremely loyal to the people he loves, the Pull of immortality is a very appealing thing to someone who's cases have put her life at risk more than once. It seemed a little Greedy of her to want this sort of thing... but oh temptations are always such a sweet alluring thing... aren't they Dearie?
I Hope that you enjoyed and like all of these little Headcanons! This was really, Really fun to do, I'd be happy to do more of these in the future if the Fandom wants them for other characters or just wanna Pick my brain on things for DP or Cursery or even writing in general lol. And Once again, I'm so so sorry for how long these took! Life just got busy for me.
I Do Hope You Have A Wonderful Rest of your Day/Night!

It’s been long since I drew a character from dark parables. So here it is, Eldra the Wolf Queen from the Dark Parables: The Red Riding Hood Sisters
I was working some sort of redesign on Eldra (The wolf Queen) mostly to make it simpler for me to draw. I went to read and watch some art tutorials on drawing anthropomorphic character and furry character so I could try to add some wolf details on the design. Still not sure on her redesign but I’m working on it.
Fun fact: The outfit is inspired by what Sabrina Carpenter wore when she was performing “Feather”

A little bonus: Some sketches

I just found out that Blue Tea Games and Eipix Entertainment closed down so there'll be no more Dark Parables games and I'm really sad now. I grew up on those games, they were my favourites

The concept of Fairytale Detective in the dark parables games is so funny it's like I signed up to the police force for valid reasons and now my superiors are all like hmm you have to break a curse. And I'm like hello? And they're like yeah listen there's an ancient witch trying to kidnap a prophesied maiden to take over the world. Go deal with her! You have NO magical ability and NO backup!!! I would simply quit and open a bakery

byello Shadow, its Arty/Cel/whatever from Discord >:3 you probably know what sorta headcanons im boutta ask for (Snowfall trio lmao)
Howdy hey Arty! (Quick thing, thank you for sending this ask in! I needed the break from my monster of a 30K fic lol.)
Everyone's favorite Little tiny gremlins! We adore the SnowFall Trio/Snow Patrol here, so I'm more than happy to talk about them. Once again, These are just my takes on the Snowfall trio/Snow Patrol from my POV while playing the games, I'll be including spoilers from the games, along with added in some Personal writing headcanon for the series as well.
If Ya'll Like these little headcanons and would like to see more of them or even some other kinds of writing, Please do feel free to ask!
Now, then Enough Stalling from me, Let's get into this!
First off, I'll be doing the kiddos in order of Kai, Gerda and Gwyn Separately then together as a group. Their ages for all of these headcanons are gonna be spread out- Ie: I may start on them as kids, then Jumped to them as adults then back to teens. (so ya kinda get a 4 for 1 deal here! huge savings in my opinion lol.)
Kai Headcanons.
Kai as a kid was always the adventurous one of the all the kids in the SnowFall kingdom's village growing up, the only one who could really keep up with all his antics, was Gerda.
Kai as a woodcutter's kid goes with his father, Noah, to find different types of wood and what makes for good building supplies, firewood, or what's good to sell, Kai got really into the different types of trees and the surrounding flora that he knew (Mainly things like daisies, Lilies, lily of the valley, and Snowbells flowers.) So seeing this, Noah got Kai a botany encyclopedia book when Kai turned 13.
Because he's a woodcutter's kid- Kai has muscles, he actually has a sleeper build to him.
He's actually Really Short when he was a kid (Unlike the Detective who is constantly stuck at 4'11 all her life.) he standing at the following Heights throughout the ages; Kid: 4'1, Teen:5'7 Adult: 6'4. As you can see, he gains a bit a growth spurt during his teen years!
Kai has a Pollen Allergy that can lead him to becoming sick.
Kai can spend hours upon hours reading into the following morning once he gets started on books- It's usually Snow or gwyn who give him a blanket whenever he visits.
He was the one who was extremely nervous bringing up the idea of dating to both Gwyn and Gerda after his talk with the Detective, beyond relieved after they all felt the same about each other.
Gerda Headcanons.
Gerda's Parents actually died when she was extremely young, possibly when she was around 2 or 3, She was fully adopted by the whole community of the village, but mainly Noah was the one to keep an eye on her the most, as he was also raising his son alone, so it was nice to have another little one to keep Kai company when Noah needed to go for longer trips outside the village. And because of that fact, Gerda and Kai became best friends and starting to develop a deep bond with each other.
She's actually 2 years Younger than both Gwyn and Kai. (Ego, If Kai and Gwyn are 17 then she's 15.)
Most people would think that she's the calm, sensible one- ABSOLUTELY NOT! She is chaos incarnate, Kai and Gwyn are the ones to reel her in when she on the loose.
Gerda as a kid, was really really tall in fact taller than Kai and Gwyn and most kids in the village, but by her teen years her height just came to a full stop. As she stands at the following heights of 4'7, and 5'8 respectfully.
Between Kai and Gerda, Gerda was the more popular- in that she's kinda feeds off of the energy that people gave her, and due to that- people around her suddenly felt better after she interacted with them. (A Hint towards her Golden Child Powers.)
Gerda Golden Child powers are something of a rarity, as when she gets older, so do the strength of her magic- this also allows her some minor healing ability when she's a teen and an extended life, much more than the average mortal. (Some say there are rumors of the Golden Child's powers being able to bring loved ones back from the dead with their blood, if not also grant immortality to the living.)
Gerda developed a minor fear of Snow White when she was a child, and due to this, she never goes up to the palace without Kai, but if Kai is suddenly called away by Noah, then Gerda is attached to Gwyn as someone who she sees as safe, and because of that, they start developing minor feelings for Gwyn and Snow started to improve her standings with Gerda, As a way to make her not seem like a monster to the tiny blonde child.
Gwyn Headcanons.
Gwyn constantly wanted to know where James was, and if he was ever going to see his father after he (Gwyn) woke up from the dreamless sleep Snow White put him under to save him. Snow felt as though she had to bit her lip on this subject matter. Mainly due to the facts that James is dead and the She's been separated from him for centuries, but for Gwyn- it's been only a few days.
Gwyn is amazing at archery, but does struggles with Stringing his bow at times- as James usually helped him with this task. After Kai and Gerda started making countless trips up to the castle walls to visit Gwyn at the request of his mother Snow White to help him get acclimated with the modern world and other kids, Kai was the one to help Gwyn learn a trick about bending the bow to string it, and together they start hanging around together without Gerda, Leading them to develop feelings for each other.
Gerda and Gwyn usually met up for smaller easier crafts like basket weaving or Playing Board games of strategy. Gerda usually wins, but a few times Gwyn wins (Because Gerda lets him.) These little moments is what leads them to developing a Relationship.
People might assume that Gwyn likes the quiet feeling around him, but actually he loves the Noise that Gerda and Kai bring to his life. it makes him feel alive to be around such vibrant people.
Gwyn's height was pretty normal for a kid all the way to his adult years, only outshining Gerda by the adult years, Yet having Kai tower over him. (Kid: 4'3 Teen: 5'5 Adult: 6'0.)
He enjoys baking with his mom, Snow is a wonderful baker with cakes and cookies among other deserts, but she tends to become uneasy a bit afterwards, something regarding her step-mom that Gwyn put together... But He doesn't know why it makes snow uneasy.
The SnowFall Trio/Snow Patrol Headcanons!
The Trio actually Met before running into the Detective. While Hiding from the Mountain Beast, the Gerda and Kai found themselves within the Icy yet heartwarming chamber that Snow put Gwyn into while he was asleep. The Minute that both Kai and Gerda saw Gwyn within the glass coffin they both caught themselves yelling to each other; "Who in the world is the pretty boy? and why is he so pretty?!" which unfortunately lead to Kai getting caught by the Mountain Beast and gerda hiding behind the glass coffin, before tailing the Mountain Beast inside- where she runs into the Detective and her Partner exploring the castle trying to get to the bottom of all this.
Both Gwyn and Gerda constantly worry about Kai and his mortality, while Gerda's cuts can heal to perfection within a few hours, and Gwyn has more durability thanks to his Parent's combined immortalities, Kai doesn't have anything within those traits- so it leads to him being on bed rest from dire issues and illnesses. Both Gerda an Gwyn take turns watching over him taking care of him, worrying about their lover.
The three of them had no idea about what a Polycule relationship was until the Detective told them all about it after she overheard all three of them start to 'talked' (IE: Panic) over who Gerda loved as teens- which then lead to Kai Blurring out that he liked both Gerda and Gwyn so much it hurt his heart, and then lead to Gwyn crying because he felt the same way but couldn't put it into words, and he didn't want to disappoint his Mom. (Snow could never be disappointed by who her kid loves- She wants Gwyn to be as happy as can be.) And for Gerda, she just felt terrible for putting both the people she loves through this.
After seeing all that display of emotions, The Detective gently hugged all three of them, and calmly explained that what they were all feeling was valid and that a relationship between the three of them was actually possible from what she knew of Different kinds of romantic relationships.
When Gwyn and Gerda were planning their wedding- they made absolutely sure that Kai knew the Detective was on the list of honored guests as a bride's maid of honor for Gerda and her catty partner is consider the best man- Due to the fact that if it wasn't for those two- none of them would be here to celebrate this day.
They both wanted Kai's opinion on a type of gift he would like The Detective and her Partner to bring for them. (They forgot to tell him it was ALL of their wedding while planning- Not just Gerda and Gwyn.*I'm sure this won't backfire at all on them!- It will*)
Kai sometimes feel inadequate due to his partners' abilities, so he needs like a sense of validation from both of his partners that he's just as capable as both Gerda and Gwyn. (The both of those two know that he is, and do tell him that, he just needs to believe in himself/prove it to himself.)
They all takes turns with the single brain cell between them, most of the time, Kai or Gwyn has it depending on the day of the week. Gerda gets it for holidays, as a treat.
All three enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate together after playing in the snow- this leads to all three of them having sleepovers a bunch as kids and they still do this well into their adult years, though instead of playing in the snow- it's curling up with a good book as one of them reads to the other two or movies nights. They just all love the quiet moments together.
They will always send letters to the Detective whenever she can't visit them and will constantly update her with whatever is going on in their lives- and will always send her a small gift. (Ie: A desert made by Snow, a little toy they found, an archer's guidebook, Teas- things like that.)
They all consider the detective as 'their mom' and her catty partner 'their dad' They three of them will call them as such when they see them... Before correcting themselves, as they feel like they should call the detective by her title, I mean- she and her partner are older than they are lol. (They all started this as kids and it didn't stop when they were teens. Just don't let Snow hear Gwyn call the detective 'mom', she will get defencive on that.)
Hey hey! I Hope that you enjoyed and like all of these little Headcanons! I love talking about the SnowfallTrio/The Snow Patrol, they are legit so stinking cute as a couple and as people- Side Note: I really need to explore the Snow Patrol in writing, but this was such a good exercise for me to do so, as it helps me understand how I would love to write these three for whenever I tackle the 3rd Dark Parables game within my writing. So thank you so much for these for letting me explore that and for the much needed break from that 30K monster I've made!
(Ps. I'm so so sorry for how long these took to make, I fell down the Fandom Rabbit Hole for a Visual Novel game called Killer Chat, where you as a aspiring writer, accidently join a chatroom filled to the brim with serial killers after asking one to many murder-related questions. The Fandom for this game is absolutely wonderful and full of amazing writers and artists- so It's been very hard climbing out of that rabbit hole of content, so again I'm so sorry about that!)
I Do Hope You Have A Wonderful Rest of your Day/Night!
-ShadowRoxz.❤

Jack from Dark Parables: Jack and the Sky Kingdom.
Fun fact: I could not find any references of Jack in the game where he’s not wearing a hat, even in some sequel games where he appears, he is still seen wearing a different hat. So I had to improvise in these drawings of him😅.
And Prince Julian, also from Dark Parables: Jack and the Sky Kingdom

rêverie
In which the rose refuses to slumber
The dusting of her eyelids terrifies her, sparkling up and down her spine.
Clamoring grey matter that sends out flares, rich rose towers, just to taunt her.
She cannot sleep anymore, not when she knows she is here.
To sleep means to be unable to watch the world pass on, the world she missed.
To sleep means to be unable to see the world pass on, the world she missed.
To sleep means to be unable to witness the beauty lain before her very eyes.
Plucked from the fae that dance their merrie ways across the sky, gentile silk and gossamer slippers of irises.
The rose’s petals curl towards the slumbering sun, resting upon the muslin of primrose. How at peace she seems, how the moon shines and kisses her eyelids with blessings of dreams…
Briar Rose only smiles in sucre, to be able to succor these syrups of quiet moments.
Or perhaps she avoids sleep because she fears it.
Fears the darkness that haunted her whence before, the fairy wind that had plucked her own eyes from her sockets just to force them into the ground.
To rot.
And Rose would have done so, if this scholar had not blessed her with such a gentle murmur.
The kiss of no prince, no princess, but a gentle awakening.
The potion had been able to awaken her, yes, but Rose adored to believe it was a sort of fate.
It lead them to one another, those curling thornless thorns that only serve as a pathway of crimson velvet.
Rose stops the moment she hears a stir from the slumbering maiden fair, covered in primrose cotton and dreams woven into her onyx hair.
It’s nigh the morn, she remembers, her love will awaken soon.
The woman of golden flax lets out a small chuckle, leaning over to press a kiss to the lids of her love.
“I’ll make breakfast when you wake up, but sleep more, I’ll awaken you.”
Like you have done for me.
#Dearest: briar rose#NO ONE LOOK AT ME#anyway i miss rose#ANYWAY YEAH DONT LOOK AT ME#but im genuinely not as smart as the detective and im a scholar of folk tales irl (studied it in college and all lol) so it mKes sense for#Uhhh my “detective” or s/i to be a scholar™️#Anyway dont look at me#Dark parables
