I hear you do deductions??? That is genuinely so awesome! If you have time could you do me?

feel free to completely ignore me

Wishing you even more luck for you followers!

awww thanks :D

and no, I don't ignore deduction requests

*ahem*

You introduce yourself with care, multiple names, but insist on “Fen” as default. That tells me you value agency in identity but also crave simplicity for others, therefore a compromise between control and social ease. You are methodical in presenting aliases because you already know people will misread or misremember you. That habit is deliberate. You are fourteen, and you already manage identity layers with precision. That alone marks precociousness.

Your genderfluidity, pan, asexual, cupioromantic identity is front-loaded, almost like armour. You expect the world to misgender or misunderstand you, so you pre-emptively label yourself. The care with pronouns and sexuality shows both self-awareness and social calculation. You are learning to navigate environments that are unreliable at your age. You are cautious but confident within your own frameworks.

The deviant-art announcement is casual but strategic. You offer art requests for free, you acknowledge wait times, you disclaim quality. That is habit: anticipating reception before disappointment. You are socially aware, pragmatic, and sensitive to others’ expectations. You create for pleasure but brace for friction. That indicates both empathy and foresight.

Your paleontology ambition is oddly telling. Dinosaurs, wolves, canis lupus, foxes — your interests orbit taxonomy and natural hierarchies. You collect and classify mentally, not just creatively. You are curious, analytical, drawn to structure and evidence, yet you romanticize animals — dogs, wolves, foxes — as companions. You desire loyalty, pack-like stability, and connection that is controlled but meaningful.

Your fandom list is broad but deliberate. Good Omens, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Our Flag Means Death, Loki. Pattern: stories with morally grey characters, wit, complex narrative, playful darkness. You gravitate toward intellectual humour, chaotic order, and subversive archetypes. You enjoy media that rewards attention and deductive thinking; you are an observer, a mapper, a thinker.

Your tagging system is meticulous. “#Shut up I’m rambling,” “#You know what to do. Do it with style,” “ocs,” “favourites,” “#i made a comment” — you categorise communication and memory. You externalize your mental filing system. That indicates both organization and obsessive tendencies. You need clarity in information retrieval; loose streams of thought unsettle you.

Banner images and repeated disclaimers about donations, minor status, and sex-repulsion demonstrate boundary awareness. You have been warned, tested, or burnt before. You do not tolerate exploitation. You are cautious, defensive, and socially protective. You broadcast boundaries to avoid surprises, but the humour and playfulness reveal that you are not joyless. Rather, you guard your emotional territory without denying curiosity or engagement.

Small details reveal habits: the “half-eaten banana” image, the insistence to “always bring a banana to a party,” the casual note on sweet, spicy, savoury preferences; you notice patterns in everyday life and ritualize them. You pay attention to small pleasures, integrating them into mental routines that comfort you. You probably carry snacks, monitor consumption, and enjoy consistency in sensory input. You dislike surprise in food; it signals a broader preference for controlled, predictable environments.

Your media consumption (Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, Terry Pratchett) (nothing to criticize here, I see) (you have great taste) shows a preference for wit, layered storytelling, and alternate perspectives on morality and reality. You choose narratives that blend humour, chaos, and order, reflecting your own internal navigation of identity, relationships, and creativity.

Your habits are visible in omissions: last search “NA, don’t have Google,” currently working on “nothing serious.” You limit digital exposure, probably rationing attention and social energy. You pursue creative bursts, short and intense, then retreat to reflection. You sketch, you draft, you leave work unfinished for incubation. That is a deliberate pacing of cognitive load. You know your limits and play within them, expanding only when curiosity demands.

You are social but cautious. You tag friends, extend invitations, but guard access to your energy and attention. You curate who interacts meaningfully with you, and you manage engagement with foresight. You are protective, selective, and aware of your impact on others’ perception.

So: you are precocious, analytical, cautious, obsessive in categorization, playful in expression, emotionally protective, and socially strategic. You move in bursts of attention, notice patterns, ritualize control, and embed yourself in media and fandoms that reflect wit, moral complexity, and subversive charm. You are Fen — curious, careful, observant, and profoundly deliberate for someone your age, balancing playfulness with a strategic awareness most adults never master.

(oh no I think I messed up :'( my brain not braining) (though it wouldn't have made any difference if it did because I suck at this)

Trump Weird News - Sherlock & Why Trump Didn't Bark

[zhelday]

Last week, I was inspired by @autistobrat and helped by tips from @studies-in-the-art-of-deduction to try my own hand in deductions.

Ended up with 2 at the end of the school day but I fear that they ended up along the lines of observations rather than deductions.

oh well. I’ll let you be the judge.

Cooking relief teacher: stated herself first time teaching here. It shows (struggled with taking attendance on school’s system). Called the class ‘year 11’s’ thrice within the first 10 minutes. Either she misread the relief notes left by usual teacher (unlikely since she handed out the correct worksheet with year 12 on it, didn’t notice the entire class is wearing their leavers jackets with 2025 on the back. and she did put the year 11 recipe books on the centre bench) or she really does believe the class to be year 11’s. The home ec assistants didn’t correct her on the year 11 recipe books (they are familiar with the class and are well aware what year we’re in – and we’re not even cooking today so no need for the recipe books). Walked laps around the room (unlike usual teacher – she's as deaf as a cast iron post and stays on her laptop all lesson), offering help to literally everyone multiple times (a competent cooking teacher is a rare thing). Taught at schools where most students struggle/have difficulties? Most likely. Or that’s just how she is. The former is more likely since it’s her first time at this school. Halfway into the lesson she realised her ‘year 11’ mistake, making a point to apologise. So it was a genuine mistake and my first theory was correct. She misread the relief notes and really did miss ‘leavers 2025’ on the backs of every single student. Not exactly the most observant, then.

Science relief teacher: Scottish by accent. Tanned. Fake or real? Face creased (old but not that old), arms redder and more tanned than face, watch & stark tanlines ending halfway around the arm. Real aussie tan and it’s somewhat recent (i say aussie only because someone who’s been in australia a lot has a certain wrinkle to their features caused by the harsher sun) and from this can safely assume she’s been in Australia for a while but not since childhood. Quick to remember names to faces. Trusted us enough to do our work on laptops and not walk laps frequently. Trusted us enough to act our age (an apparent struggle for the boys in that class) and it paid off. Usual idiots weren’t so bad (they usually screw around with reliefs, but not today).

(Would’ve done more throughout the rest of the day, but had my usual teachers & I found it harder to deduce from them since I’m used to seeing them multiple times a week. Didn’t even try doing it on friends. Results would have been zero)

The utter tragedy of canon compliant Wayne Munson has been getting to me lately. This man who had a kid come into his life, who had never planned for such a thing, maybe didn’t want to take him in at first but did, who decided to put his everything into loving this kid, into making his one-bedroom trailer a home for this wary-eyed teenager with a buzz cut and too much knowledge of the harsh realities of the world for a middle school. Who shaped his life around loving this kid, around making him feel loved as he came out of his shell and filled up Wayne’s life with so much energy and presence. This man, who loved his kid through the dealing, and the failing, and the murder accusations. This man, who finds out that his nephew, his kid, is dead. And no matter how much he knows, whether the town knits itself back together or is still cracked open, whether or not three teenagers or the undead chief of police sit him down and tell him everything, whether he knows that Eddie died a hero or just that he didn’t die alone, none of that can change the fact that now his life is empty. He didn’t expect to get Eddie, but he never even imagined losing him.

Just curious how do you employ your deductive methods in every day life(john)

I just observe. It is like a reflex, I cannot shut it off. Just looking at John creates an influx of data and information about his mood, his plans for that day, how he slept, his condition and many other points. His physical state, whether he is in pain, tired or hungry. Whether he had a good night's sleep depending on his posture or tension around his eyes or his shoulders. If he is planning to meet up with someone depending on his choice of clothes and aftershave on special occassions. His gait and movements show whether it is a good day or if he is in any pain. I can tell if he is worried or wants to talk about something by the furrow of his brow. When he keeps checking his phone repeatedly he is waiting for a message, for example when he is concerned about his sister not answering his texts. I can tell what he is thinking about, visible in unconscious movements like twitches, the frequency with which he licks his lips or the direction of his gaze. Whether he craves something when he keeps glancing towards it. The tone of his voice and how talkative he is can show many things. When he is fidgety and barely able to sit still in his chair, it means that he is bored and would like to go out on an adventure. Of course I can deduce many more things but I think I provided more than enough examples. I can deduce John better than anyone else, because I am very familiar with him, have spent so much time with him and analysed his behavioural patterns. Although it took me some time to truly realise what he feels for me, but sentiment is not my area of expertise after all. He is the exception, even concerning my deductions.
