I feel like Never is supposed to be the sassy best friend but he’s just straight up mean to Omen and it kinda makes me sad

Clarabelle: If I wore a shirt inside out, the entire universe would be wearing the shirt except me.

Kenspeckle: Congratulations, you just explained Gödel's theorem in a single sentence.

Well... at least I'm alive, I guess?

gUys @b0nes-r-us reminded me exactly why I used to spend 8 hours a day takin buzzfeed character quizzes so I made another sp quiz if anyone’s dying of boredom

Two sides of INTJ

INTJ: *wanders around city in the night while dreaming about living the life they read in books, lays on sofa with candles all around and theater music on, stares at a painting for ages because it reminds then of something important*

Also INTJ: *has their life in an excel sheet, knows when dreams are too crazy and scale then down into achievable format, and wants to make sense all the time*

AGREED, I ship the hell outa Chinduggery

Why do practically N O N E of the skulduggery pleasant fans actually ship chinduggery? These two are my life (except for Ghanith but RIP Ghastly) And NO ONE actually ships them 😑

This is getting ridiculous... I filtered any tags that have something to do with SoW spoilers, but whenever I see blocked posts on my dashboard I just click on them anyways, because I´m curious and keep telling myself that one teeny tiny spoiler won´t hurt

My self control is like non existent :(

Valkyrie: I can take care of myself.

Kenspeckle: You don’t always have to.

That probably actually happened, because let´s face it, Knespeckle is the only f*cking responsible adult in Val´s life

Everybody keeps posting about how good SoW is and I´m just here waiting until my paperback copy finally arrives in two weeks :(

At least now I´m positively hyped to read it as opposed to just hoping Landy doesn´t kill or destroy my favs.

but as someone who was actually around when the first movies came out in the seventies, the new ones would probably be a huge disappointment for Tan

I can so imagine, her going really overboard with her reaction and being in actual despair over the bad plot of the new movies... Val would be stuck between fits of uncontrollable laughter and trying to console Tan

Would Tanith know about the new Star Wars films? Because of the remnant? If not, I can totally see Val telling her about them and Tanith practically screaming with delight.

she goes to grimwood (grimwood???? i think it’s grimwood) and she and val marathon them together while tanith sneakily feeds xena popcorn

valkyrie cain: i'm not like other girls

valkyrie cain: i'm darquesse

Militsa: We’re not naming our first child Skulduggery.

Skulduggery: You say that now but when you’re high on the pain meds and I’ve arranged for Valkyrie to be in another dimension without a shunter and I’m filling out the birth certificate how are you going to stop me.

Valkyrie: How much of this do you have planned.

My favorite dramatic new Skulduggery headcanon for book 13 is this: 

the gang (which will def consist of Tanith, Dexter, Saracen, Skulduggery and Valkyrie right) finds out that Darquesse is still existing, still apocalyptically dangerous, still linked to Valkyrie. There is a grave silence upon them after they find out. Then suddenly Dexter grabs Skulduggery’s gun and points it at Valkyrie’s head. Her face shows signs of shock, but it vanishes quickly to make space for another emotion: resigantion. She understands. She agrees. The crew reacts less understanding. Saracen gasps and makes a step forward. Tanith jumps to them and puts her sword under Dexter’s chin. Skulduggery pushes Valkyrie back with a rush of air, but she blocks it. She shouts STOP very loudly, making everybody freeze. The only sounds that can be heard anymore are the sounds of heavy breathing from everyone. Dexter’s blue eyes are hard. But his voice cracks when he speaks. “We can’t make the same mistake.” Saracen steps up to him very closely, sweat running down his temple, sheer panic in his eyes. “How can you know that killing Val will do any good? How can you know that it will destroy Darquesse, Dexter? How can you know this? Please. Lower the gun.” Tanith keeps the blade on Dexter’s throat, she doesn’t budge, her look is stern. But her nose is twitching and her lips are trembling slightly. Dexter is her friend. They are all friends. Dexter and Valkyrie have danced together, they have laughed together. Skulduggery is very quiet. But the wind he is conjuring and ready to toss at Dexter is pulling at his clothes. There are fireballs in his eye sockets. Never has that happened before. “Dexter. Drop the gun.” Tanith urges. In Dexter’s eyes is reflected everything and everyone he has lost already. There is the fear of losing even more. And there is the fear of everyone who has lost just as much and more. People he thinks he must protect from even more harm. He lowers the gun. Valkyrie looks at him with surprise and hurt. Surprised he didn’t shoot, hurt he even considered it. “It is not your fault.” He says with a sudden conviction and drops the gun. He looks sad, so tired and sad. “None of this is your fault.” Tanith pulls the sword away and takes a deep breath. Saracen closes his eyes in relief. Skulduggery is still raging with wind and fire. Valkyrie takes a shaky breath and raises a hand in Skulduggery’s direction. “It’s okay.” She whsipers and Skulduggery’s rage disappears almost instantly. Dexter looks at her with a grief-stricken expression. “Val…” He starts and is cut off, when she steps close to him and pulls him into a hug. They stay like this for a long time. When they let go off each other, everyone is still in shock. Skulduggery walks over, pushes Dexter out of the way and picks up his gun. The wind starts to ripple through his clothes again. Valkyrie takes his hand and pulls him back slightly. “Calm down.” He looks at her and the rippling stops again. He wraps an arm around her waist. “We’ll be back in an hour.” then he flies away with her to talk in private about the Darquesse situation. Mostly because he knows he won’t kill Dexter then. 

this turned out longer than planned

I don’t ‘zone out’. Being zoned out is my default state, and I occasionally zone back in to check how things are going.

I know Val is generally categorized as an INTP or ISTP, but this aesthetic really suits her

Could you make an INTJ female aesthetic?🖤

INTJ Female Aesthetic

For my favourite INTJ.

INTJs in theory vs in reality

Intj in theory - done with work weeks before the deadline

Intj in real life - procrastinating till deadline is looming over their head

Intj in theory- described as “INTJ strode up to the counter and demanded the bill, leaving no room for anyone to mess around”

Intj in reality- sits in the corner, hides behind a book, asks enfp to do the talking

Intj in theory - has everything organized in neat little compartments

Intj in reality- “ladies and gentlemen, watch as I conjure from this pile of rubble anything I desire”

Intj in theory - calm cool and collected

Intj in reality - loses all shit if someone moves their things around

Intj in theory - cold, without feelings, hearts made of stone

Intj in reality- cries to sleep every night

Intj in theory - sends brief to the point messages

Intj in reality - rambles on using big words

Intj in theory - deathly stare plotting your murder

Intj in reality - gazing into space trying to come up with an equation to measure stupidity

YES please

I pose you the following: Robert Sheehan as Nefarian Serpine. He's Irish, has the devil smile, and, most importantly, astonishing real green eyes. Search his name + "BAFTA" and you'll find pictures of him with hair like you draw Nefarian's + a suit.

And you can search “Mr and Mrs Jones Billy Delaney” to see the devil smile level in action

Ooohhhh, he certainly would make for a pretty Nefarian! I would not be opposed to him playing Nef, not at all  👀

He also got the kicked puppy look down which is very important considering how Nef gets treated like a punching bag in the books lmao

Especially in this gif he feels very Nef-like .3.

[ Gif taken from here, had to crop it to at least save the quality somewhat when converting from webp to gif ]

Ngl tho, with those thick eye brows and the brown hair Robert Sheehan would also make a neat teen!Mevolent.

I just wanted to see if anyone else experiences this as well. So throughout my whole life i have never felt ‘understood’? I’ve never felt 100% comfortable telling anyone anything even till this day there is so much stuff i keep to myself. Even from my best friends who I’ve known for over 5 years…something in me just feels like even though they would tell me anything i feel like i can’t do the same? I’ve always had different interests as them and sometimes when i’m around them i catch myself thinking ‘what am i doing here? I’m not like them i’m just fooling myself i don’t belong here’ but then other times we’re having so much fun and i can’t believe i’d ever even think i don’t belong in our group. I just feel so alienated from people sometimes. I don’t know maybe it’s just me who is the problem maybe i just expect to get more from people because i would give them anything without thinking twice about it but i guess some people just can’t because that’s just who they are. It just sucks because they aren’t to blame they are good friends it’s just me who is looking for more, a deeper connection that i can’t seem to find with anyone.

“People think they know you. They think they know how you’re handling a situation. But the truth is no one knows. No one knows what happens after you leave them, when you’re lying in bed or sitting over your breakfast alone and all you want to do is cry or scream. They don’t know what’s going on inside your head—the mind-numbing cocktail of anger and sadness and guilt. This isn’t their fault. They just don’t know. And so they pretend and they say you’re doing great when you’re really not. And this makes everyone feel better. Everybody but you.”

Fun fact:

In Bedlam the German Grand Mage is called Sturmun Drang.

Sturm und Drang is actually the name of a movement in German literature that took place during the Enlightenment. It's all about expressing extreme emotions and the original human genius.

The latter would make kinda sense for a name, but the first one doesn't really fit Drang, because he seems dry and cold in the novels...

Anywys, just stumbled over this and thought it was cool!

“Wow…. People don’t like me? Oh, I have a bad attitude? Well cry me a river and DROWN in it!”

@sierralafontaine said he looked soft on my to do board and it fueled me to draw him again!

Okay, but can we all just appreciate how fluffy and soft Sanguine looks even though he´s drawn in red and black only? 

I doodled Billy-Ray and Dusk on my to do board

This is so pretty!!

China, 6? Or Tanith, 5?

I'm praying romantic Valdug never becomes canon. It would just be wrong on so many levels.

some thoughts on valdug

currently waiting on my mentor to arrive and frankly i hope she’s still alive but i figured i may as well start typing this out

this. might get long, but essentially it’s Why I Don’t Think Valduggery Would Be A Good And Healthy Romantic Relationship, But It Would Be Interesting To See It Explored

the basis of their relationship is about missing someone else

val and skul met for the first time (excluding when valkyrie was a baby) at gordon’s will reading - personally, i think they see one another as a replacement for gordon.

skulduggery lost one of his best friend’s to his worst enemies; it’s only natural that he’s going to cling to someone who reminds him of said friend. however, the fact that this was literally a twelve year old is a bit ://, but whatever.

valkyrie just lost her uncle, and in some ways, her mentor. i feel like, unconsciously, they both looked for someone to replace gordon, found one another. which is like. yeah. odd, but whatever.

i’m also 100% certain gordon and skulduggery were shagging. and the reason why this was never mentioned is because gordon’s family (fergus and beryl) are religious, and might not have appreciated gordon fucking a guy

and also, because introducing your dead boyfriend to your mortal family might not have been a great idea

valkyrie’s personality and many of her values have been influenced by skulduggery, which isn’t necessarily a good thing.

once again, valkyrie was TWELVE when she met skulduggery for the first time. throughout her entire teenage life, she had him as a Main Adult Figure; like a parent or guardian to look up to.

she’s still going to see him, even now, as someone like that - she seemed to aspire to BE him, and i don’t doubt many of those habits are with her, even now, as an adult.

romantic valdug = them being friends, work partners and lovers. that’s a fucking lot.

essentially, with romantic relationships, you’re going to be around your partner a lot. shocking. but valkyrie and skulduggery work together, solely, for the most part. meaning that if they got together, they’d be around each other nearly constantly; which seems like a Lot. not necessarily a bad thing, no, but holy shit that’s not going to be great if they fall out over, like, laundry and have to work together on a murder.

skulduggery and valkyrie, mentally, are off the shits

neither of these two are mentally healthy in any way, shape or form. both of them are in/have been in borderline abusive relationships (see: abyssinia and vile, valkyrie being a little shit to militsa) and this sort of abuse could wildly escalate if they’re together. there’s a reason skulduggery has his reputation as a cold hearted, brutal murderer. this guy was so cold and angry he turned into lord vile. valkyrie isn’t in a good place, mentally, and skulduggery’s naturally manipulative relationship is not going to help with that at all.

if it doesn’t work out, then what?

this is more why i WOULD like to see it explored. it’s a relationship that might not work out well, have an unfair power balance, could go sideways so fast and explore things that ever should have been explored. its the exact opposite of valkyrie’s cutesy, wutesy relationship with militsa.

but if it doesn’t work out and they split up, that’s something that’s going to change them both and their opinions and views of one another forever. they’re not going to get over that one in a hurry.

and! some more personal reasons why i don’t like the idea of valduggery

bones aren’t hot, you guys are just weird

skulduggery is like one of those perfect, wattpad-esque, “what the writer would love to be in an ideal world” versions of landy. i feel like he’d treat valduggery like his and laura’s relationship, which grosses me out.

i refuse to support anything laura supports

m/f purely platonic relationships are so rare in fiction, i would genuinely love for this one to stay that way

bones still aren’t hot

i could not BEAR to find out if skulduggery has a fake dick

i had another good point here but i forgot it

OH YEAH the age gap thing being a normal part of magical society does weird me out personally, again mostly because of landy’s personal relationship. :/

Anti anxiety.

Y'all remember that scene in phase 1 where Val aknowledges that the thing that most sets her apart from other people her age isn't magic but knowing what she wants to do with her life?

That shit hits way too close home.

I'm about to graduate amd I have like no idea what I wanna do... it's kinda scary. Like how am I supposed to chose sth to do for the rest of my life when I can't even remember the last thing that actually made me happy
