     She sighed softly as a familiar of her Master’s—one among many—pushed a tea cart in. “Indeed it does, <Mister> Hakuba. What do you fancy TONIGHT? I think I shall have what you WISH.”

“Chamomile, if you don’t mind… I’ve got a bit of a headache coming on.”

1, 8, 10

1. Are there any characters in your fandom or faceclaims you refuse to RP with? Who and why?

No, though sometimes I wish I could. There are just certain characters that I know will not yield any sort of interesting interaction with Hakuba, but unfortunately, they’re a thing, so it’s unavoidable.

Not going to name names, though. Rest-assured, it’s not Heiji. I love Heijis. 

8. Out of the really popular pairings in your fandom, what’s your nOTP?

Kaishin. I don’t get it, I don’t like it, and them being together removes the whole platonic brother thing that I am 110% a fan of for them. That said, if you like Kaishin, more power to you. I’m not gonna tell you to stop shipping them. But I’m not going to pretend to enjoy it, either. I will, however, pretend that really well-drawn fanart is canonical fanart that they found online and are freaked out about. 

…seriously, though, I love Kaito/Shinichi as brothers. Actual brothers, friend brothers, whatever. I think they’re freakishly cute like that and  it’s something that I need in my life. 

Also I will probably laugh if it turns out that they are related in the end. Gosho did say in an interview that there was a reason why they looked so similar, and he was talking about an IC reason, not just “I can only draw 4 different faces lol oops” …

10. What’s something you really hate seeing on your dash that seems to be popular with almost everyone else?

Incredibly sexual magic!anons. I have a difficult time taking them seriously, and since I’m here to write stories that actually have plot arcs, I just… I dunno. It’s hard to stay IC and then really hard to maintain it outside of a one-shot thing because it just doesn’t make sense most of the time. 

I get that they’re fun, but I would much rather see things as drabbles than ongoing threads that may or may not influence actual storylines. This is why I don’t do M!As anymore, incidentally.

♐: What is your muse particularly unskilled at?

Fighting. He’s been trained through the London police for self-defense and that sort of thing, but he is just not that great when it comes to much else. Hakuba can take a hit and has a decent right hook, but most of his skill with the physical aspect of catching criminals comes in the form of chasing and body tackling people. 

Violence just isn’t his forte, really. He sucks at climbing ladders, doing yoga, and any sort of martial art.

…he’s not very good at drawing, either, but his stick figures are cute.

“Only four at the LEAST?” she questioned bemusedly. “Proportions are irrelevant when it comes to the subject of these DRINKS. One’s effects generally occur over TIME. The other’s effect happens IMMEDIATELY.”

Dlanor would’ve easily let go, but the presentation of an argument always seemed to spur the feeling of a challenge. Perhaps once upon a time, she’d have compared this to the squabble of two children over the magic trick of candy, but this was the health of someone relatively important that was being discussed at hand. “What you deem a herald upon a throne can easily be overthrown by a well-timed thief in the NIGHT.”

“Hey, now… are you referring to–? I don’t think that’s fair at all.” Though, of course, Dlanor had a point. The detective frowned, shoulders hunching in defense as he shuffled from foot to foot, attempting to come up with some sort of cutting retort. “Tea is… my first love. My truest love.”

He turned with a huff, pulling arms to cross over his chest. “Certainly more willing to show affection than some I can think of. Tea will always be there for me… Scotch, and the others, are just… mistresses for the worst of nights…"

“The impression you give off certainly doesn’t make it seem that WAY." 

Attempts to soften her stern expression seemed to fade more into the neutrality she was once often known for. “Of course, there’s nothing I can do to stop YOU. Do as you WISH. The temperance of one’s indulgences, after all, can be quite a taxing MATTER…”

"Please, Miss Knox,” Hakuba laughed, lifting his chin in haughty air. “I drink tea a fair greater percentage than liquor. Consider the facts- on an average day, I have at the very least four cups of tea. Some days more, some days less. Scotch, however…”  The detective glanced down at his nails, examining them with mild interest. “A shot at best, two or three times a week… along with the occasional binge. You see, proportionally speaking, tea is king. As always.”

So, Whitechapel. Obvious JtR reference? Also, Baron. :D You sure it was a good idea to take up that particular headcanon that you may or may not have even written about yet on this blog~?

White Chapel – yes, this was in reference to Jack the Ripper. The private religious academy that my Hakuba attends as a child in the backstory that I totally made up is (ficticiously) located in the Whitechapel District in London, England… and home to the infamous Whitechapel Murders. Where better to put a horrific past full of abuse and pain? 

It’s really unfortunate, but something that really was/is common in that kind of school. The priests that do the abuse know just what to say to make the kids feel so guilty that the never expose the truth, allowing them to continue preying on them. Sometimes they’ll go for years before anyone hears about it… and even then, a lot of the churches just shuffle the priests around to different schools instead of excommunicating them or whatever. 

Ugh, such a depressing topic… but one that I wanted to include in his past because it lent really well to my theories for his actions. Also, having a detective who is religious, particularly with the rest who aren’t particularly sounded fun to play with. It sets him apart, which is what he should be, given the difference in his cultural background.

Baron – OMG. Yes, it was a good idea, just soul-crushing. That’s where I’m at in the 7 Sins of White Chapel story. The point in the story where some hope is restored to the young Saguru and then we get  the villain with a literal ‘kick the dog’ moment and all hope is lost. 

I will, eventually, finish the story… I just really don’t want to write about poor Baron being beaten to death with screaming 9 year-old Saguru helpless to do anything about it…
