Starbuck: This means we are all going to die

Stubb: Maybe this means something, maybe it doesn't, whatever

Also me: *Fully aware she wrote other books but just never picked them up for the next four/five years.*

"I'm the world's greatest detective, Deductive Logico, and this is my partner, Inspector Irratino, he's also a detective. Just not the world's greatest"

Obsidian leaving Logico a "hey loser I faked my death and I'm coming back in chapter 4" note which Logico proceeds to Not Read and then react with Shock and Awe when she turns out to be alive

The part where they go to a hotel in the middle of nowhere and there's a whole convoluted love-and-vengeance driven tragic murder-romance playing out and they solve it and then leave and it turns out the hotel Closed Thirty Years Ago! and this is evidence of GHOSTS so they go back and the hotel is GONE and replaced with an EMPTY LOT and Logico's like "idk. Might have been swamp gas"

Irratino like "I can find a murder using astrology :) " and then he uses astrology to pick a spot and Logico calls him a moron who uses fake methodology and they drive all the way out there and there's actually a murder there

One of the reoccurring suspects is Dracula. Just like, casually

A penguin gets murdered and Irratino's so distraught by that he calls out to God and God actually responds. Nobody else can talk to God btw

Irratino sending a text that says "idk lol" thanks man👍

Logico failing to solve a major plot point for like 23 straight cases cause he was holding the clue upside down

Irratino coming up with something that was already IN the clues like ok THANKS my guy I owe you one. HUGE help could not have solved that without Occult Intervention

House Arrest Divorce Arc that turns into the House Arrest Flirting Arc

Runners-up:

One of the Actually Serious Plot-Relevant puzzles has two kids in a trenchcoat as a suspect

may i interest you in the oxymoron miis. miixymoron. oxymiiron. whatever you'd like to call them.

Hey have you noticed that Logico doesn’t get described ever

the guy is never really described in the books except for a select few times when his info card is shown. He’s not in the suspect art museum. We don’t even get a throw-away line about it from Irratino!

But it does mean that with every fic, the readers may all be envisioning an entirely different person. I myself write Logico with no set design in mind at all lol, maybe I should come up with one

Just a snowy renga for your mental health.
