9yo heathcliff van bretus sneakily took out his loose baby teeth on his own because the alternative is grander pulling them out with her bare hands in full force.

if you think about it, the lumensis order is famous for not giving any benefits nor treating kindly towards concubines and children born out of wedlock, so its unlikely that anyone in their right mind would volunteer themselves to become and/or bear one. this actually suggests a much darker implication that they might have been victims of sexual violence (and possibly kidnapping. and even worse, grooming. after all, they did have a history of taking little girls away from their own family) — which makes the lousy tradition of branding their bastard children even more insane. its like screaming at the whole world to let people know that some of their most well-respected members are not only a cheater but also a sexual predator, and the holy church of lumensis is proudly letting them get away with it acting all high and mighty while punishing their innocent victims with death sentences.

@aroacettorney No wait- I forgot about that Casey does do that! Lmao. So that makes them both little corvids- head cannon that ludger cherish makes fun of Casey’s unkept way of storing her precious little shinies but secretly is very impressed with just HOW MUCH she has.

yknow. we have zero information on what casey and moriarty talked about during her visits to his office, so i hc that they both brought little trinkets they collected to show each other (and occasionally made trades :D). its a fun little detective game between them, too, since you can learn a lot about the other person based on what they had in their possession. moriarty showed her something that he thought its impersonal enough that she would get nothing from him, but she ended up reading him to filth. casey showed him something she got from her distant childhood, and he correctly deduced her strained relationship with her family.

@aroacettorney And perhaps they continue the tradition later, once Casey found out about Ludger being James. (I’ll be completely honest I’ve only read the manwha so I only know so much) but perhaps later down the line they continue this tradition. And maybe it’s a little bit more bitter sweet now, maybe it’s a bit more careful, but perhaps they continue it.

i just know casey would be that girl updating his wikipedia pages with citations and everything

until i get better ideas for ludger & caseys terms of endearment, ludger will be her "soggy lamp" (thanks @certainchaostyrant), and casey will be his "little sprout." im also taking suggestions.

LMFAO you know what. this is canon now actually.

every day i think about the real purpose of the fake fiance arc when sayren could have just skipped it as ludger was destined to end up in dreamland anyway.
