#but no one ever sees them bcus of the gloves

y'know what would be funny if the fairy tale detective was a cryptid that is human passing. (possible spoilers for jack and the sky kingdom, and more rambles under the cut)

like when Jack is first interacting with the detective he is like 'oh another human dealing with all this weird magic bullshitery' and then a little bit later he turns to talk to det and just sees eye glow for half a second but it's so brief he questions whether or not he saw anything, and then they meet back up with Emma and she notices it too, and they're both like wth?? do the ask the detective about it? absolutely not! that would be so awkward... cut forward a little to a unspecified adventure and the detective needs a ladder for something and is hanging out with Gerda and company, and they find a ladder and Gerda turns to the group and is discussing working together to move the ladder to where they need and turns back to see no ladder?? the detective is just standing there where the ladder was waiting for Gerda to finish talking. when they get to where they needed the ladder the detective seemingly just pulls it out of nowhere and places it against the wall. the detectives allies/friends now have bimonthly meetings (provided the worlds not ending) trying to figure out wtf the detective is and where they came from and who old they are, because they are weirdly spry after at least 20 years dealing with weird magic stuff.
