pov you’re on tumblr for halloween:
Yes.
Would You Fall In Love With Me Again,
But Merlin to Arthur after he finds out about his magic????
So because I am just a sucker for angst, I can just imagine that after the relics are created (i hc that the rest of DW [minus Irene] didn't realize what the others sacrifices would be) they talk of visiting Hyria and the little girl (i can't name either so) and while they do Shad seems to leave the conversation (mentally or physically) and they eventually just stop talking about it.
Eventually, they end up visiting Hyria again and don't see the little girl, asking where she is. At that the conversation stills and Hyria looks first to Shad, who was on the verge of tears, then to Irene, saying they needed to talk later. After that Hyria just avoids answering the question all together.
Throughout that vist Shad and Hyria seem much closer than ever.
[This is just my silly little rambles. I have hardcore beef with Irene.]
blazeron anon :3 do you ever think about irene and shad's daughter? because i do. a lot. it's a special ability of mine to fixate on the most minuscule characters possible :3 anyway i found an old fic i wrote where said daughter was adopted by hyria because idk man this was years ago never finished it :D
Blazeron anon are we the same person?!
I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT SHAD AND IRENE AND THEIR DAUGHTER LITERALLY ALL MORNING THIS IS INSANE
Anyways I just fully came to terms with this characters existence today when thinking about how I want to develop Shad's character, so I don't have a lot of thoughts that aren't just me making fun of MCDs writing (my bread and butter). But I have been thinking about the kind of life she had before Irene did... That. To her.
Because we don't know how old she was (at least I don't think we do), but I imagine she was at least a toddler, if not older. Alina is like 3 in MCD Season 3, and I want their daughter to be a little older than that so that way Shad feels even more pain seeing Alina because he can almost pretend she never died because she didn't grow past this age for very long the first time but maybe she can this time. I also don't have a name for their daughter because I'm terrible at naming things but I'll figure it out eventually.
Anyways imagining this five year old girl picking flowers in the forest around Hyria's cottage and coming home to give them to Hyria, Kul'zak, and Irene and all four of them weave flower crowns for each other. The Divine Warriors have a whole Flower Crown thing that's evolved into its own beast in my rewrite that's an entire post unto itself. But this girl made soooo many flower crowns. Especially ones for her Mom/Dad when she was staying with the other parent and waiting for the other to "come back home", not quite realizing the decayed state of her parents relationship, and that there's a reason "home" described about half a dozen locations important to her.
All the Divine Warriors probably knew her. Held her. Had memories with her. With Irene, with Shad, with the entire family. And I don't know if Irene ever told any of them the truth about what happened to her.
Every time I think about this child my heart breaks
I’m 💀
Adding a Shadow Knight Miku to the mix

Out of context Malevolent 47
This is still the funniest thing I've heard in the episode lmao
Putting this here so it doesn't go in my forever pit of MCD ideas.
What is Malachi knew that Aph and the gang were okay. Like the same way that Lucinda did but not as strong like a gut feeling. I know that he gets turned back human but I feel like he still has some of the magick that he had as a ghost. That and his response when they reunite. It's just that I find it weird how calm he was but that could also be his just general personality.
This mainly follows my headcannon that both him and Zoey told Levin stories as they grew up. I know he stays for Levin but I also like the idea that deep down he knew that Aph was okay.
