Well, okay, well, actually the bonus chapter, which is called "The Curse of Thumbelina"

This time we play as Gerda, our golden girl 🥰

So! It seemed to end well, but no, something went fucked up again: some nightmares with my brother and some micro-girl. What are we doing?? That's right, we're going to deal with it!!!

We found the back door to the castle, and there's stuff lying around, and where's the dyed brother himself? It's not clear. We dig, we dig, we go into the cave, and there, SUDDENLY, Snow White's son is hanging from the ceiling in a spider shibari. What he forgot there is not clear, he says, just went for a walk and well… stuck beautifully))

What about Gerda? Nothing, she unraveled it, they went to find out what happened, they found a micro-bead. And she turns out to be the same one! She's either a girl or a thing! Wow! So what is this? A dream come true? Holy shit!

Okay, this little girl said she doesn't remember a damn thing, she knows Kai is gone and she's being eaten by flying monkeys (literally). Sow, me and my mom's friend's son promised to protect her-- -fucked up the little girl in a second good for us))

We went bushwalking and found our painted brothel boy, Kai. This fool decided to shrink down to the size of Thumbelina (a botanist who brews potions - woe in the family).

Gradually we learn that it turns out that Thumbelina is not Thumbelina at all, but the entire GODDESS OF HARMONY (no, not Celestia, but I wanted to (9(( ), and she was cursed by Gothel. How did that happen? Well, she just poured tea on her, poisoned her, insulted her well, and now the world is in decline, and the Goddess is depressed at zero years old, and her HP is reduced.

Anyway, somehow we found our micro-goddess, they tried to drag her into a portal to the world of the dead, but MOMMY'S FRIEND'S SON SHOOT ACCURATELY, the portal doesn't work, the little girl is saved, everything's fucking fine ✌✨

We took her to the throne, she remembered everything, "from the heart to the soul, thank you, I went to recover, because it is not good to be a micro-girl, it is not authoritative it turns out"

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!

My pride lately🥹

[my-desertroses]

I'm a bit sad. I have been a long time fan of the Dark Parables games that were developed by Blue Tea Games and Eipix Entertainment and released by Big Fish Games and I just found out that there probably won't be any more. The reason for this is that Blue Tea Games has been inactive since sometime in 2019, which was the year of the release of the 16th, and probably final, game in the series; Dark Parables: Portrait of the Stained Princess. So I checked Eipix Entertainment, ya know, just in case, and it turns out Eipix Entertainment was acquired by Playrix Entertainment that same year and has not released any new games on its own since so now I'm sad. On the bright side, I do have all 16 games and can play them anytime I want but I'm still sad that there probably won't be any new ones because they're so good!!!

Just wondering, how would you rank the Dark Parables games from least favorite to most favorite?

Ooooo okay so these are going to be ranked by story, mechanics, designs and just how much I love them!

Least Favorite- Most Favorite

15. The Little Mermaid and the Purple Tide: I feel like this is not a surprise given my rants. Bad story. Bad mechanics.

14. The Thief and the Tinderbox: Again I feel like this isn't a surprise. Bad story. Bad continuity. Bad designs.... but! The mechanics were not bad.

13. Queen of Sands: it felt off in a way. Like it didn't belong in the series. Mechanics okay. Designs/art decent. Bad story.

12. Return of the Salt Princess: nothing wrong with the mechanics or designs or anything. I liked the story somewhat, it just overall isn't a favorite.

11. Portrait of the Stained Princess: it was alright, I liked the art and such. I just felt like it could have been more. Story wise, I mean. I don't know. It didn't engage me as much as others.

10. The Swan Princess and the Dire Tree: it's sad because I'm a sucker for swan princess things whether it be the Swan Lake ballet, the barbie movie or the Don bluth ones (only the first and second ones though) and I was excited for this game but it ultimately hadn't been something I expected but I did enjoy it a bit. Though again, continuity threw me off since there was barely any.

9. The Red Riding Hood Sisters: I do like this one, but not as much as others. I liked the concept, the designs, the mechanics, and the story somewhat. I just wish I could have been more engaged in it.

8. Exiled Prince: Look, I like it a lot, it is arguably one of the most iconic games in the series but the mechanics are what put it here. It had a wonderful story and everything it was just those mechanics that hung me up.

7. Curse of Briar Rose: another one I really love, but those mechanics just hurt. If they remade it it would definitely ranked higher.

6. The Match Girl's Lost Paradise: such a fun story!! It was so interesting and I really liked it and was very engaged!

5. Goldilocks and the Fallen Star: fun game! Engaging! Also, bonus for Jack, just not a top five fav.

4. Rise of the Snow Queen: Snow White is one of my favorite fairy tales, and the fact they merged it with the Snow Queen story had me elated! I loved it! I was so engaged!

3. Jack and the Sky Kingdom: Has some of my favorite characters of the series! Had an engaging storyline! The mechanics were great! And the puzzles were fun.

2. Ballad of Rapunzel: SO fun! So interesting! So much lore given, and I love lore! It was unique with its endings. Overall a very great game!

1. The Final Cinderella: I am biased. Very biased. Cinderella is my favorite fairy tale. I have so many different versions of it. I have watched everything Cinderella or so I'm convinced. The story was so fun and engaging and the art! Oh man the art! And I cared for all the characters!
