I’ve been thinking about the Dead Men a lot recently. Like, A Lot. I think that the series glosses over a lot of their trauma. I know Phase 2 shows Valkyrie struggling with her trauma but it doesn’t show the others. And after fighting in a centuries long war these guys have a vast array of mental health difficulties. Content warning for the rest of the post regarding mental health, trauma, sex and self harm. These are my personal headcanons

Anton

Anton self-harms. It’s subtle. So subtle that it’s just treated as part of his personality as him being stoic and stubborn. But in LSODM we see him refuse to take some leaves offered to him by Dexter.

Yeah sure he applies the ointment but it would be impractical not to in case it affects his reflexes or fighting abilities later on. But he chooses to continue to feel the pain because he thinks he deserves it. Part of that is due to what the gist does when he releases it but part of it is because of the gist itself. Because Anton has all these “bad” thoughts that are fuelled by anger and hate and they create the gist. If he can create something so violent then he thinks it makes him a bad and dangerous person.

This feeds into part 2 of how he self-harms. He isolates himself. He has his hotel that goes all around the world but in doing so he cuts himself off from his support group. The other Dead Men would be the best people to understand how he feels but he’s too scared of hurting them. Because one day his gist will take over and he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if it hurt his friends.

Saracen

Saracen has PTSD and trust/attachment issues. Yeah, all the others have varying levels of them too but Saracen is constantly in survival mode from his. It’s why he’s secretive about his power. Not because he’s ashamed of it but because if people know what it is he’ll lose his edge. In LSODM Saracen noticeably changes when a wraith jumps out at him.

He’s so used to seeing through things, knowing what’s coming that when something comes that he didn’t know he’s scared. Helpless. Powerless. He doesn’t have the type of magic he can use to save him in the heat of the moment like all the others so he needs to know what’s coming at all times so he can keep them at arms length.

The reason Saracen gets around is because he’s scared of trusting someone. If they get too close to him he’ll be weaker, vulnerable. He won’t know what’s coming. It’s why he goes from country to country. From one bed to another. And it gets pushed aside like it’s just him being a play boy but I think he actually wouldn’t mind being close to someone if he felt like he could. Dexter is probably the closest person to him but he still kept him at arms length by not telling him his power and happily not talking to him for years.

To curb being alone all the time Saracen finds comfort where he can. It’s why he prefers more luxurious things. Because he’s not in a war anymore so why should he have to sleep on the ground? Sex is a good way to get a rush of endorphins so he does it as often as he can. Food is also a good way to get endorphins. Saracen finds comfort in it and the fact that there is no longer the worry that his next meal might be his last. So he feels more comfortable eating whatever he wants when he wants it. It’s his way of getting through the day. It’s also why I HATE the “jokes” that are made about his weight and that all his friends constantly body shame him. But he doesn’t object or correct them because otherwise they’ll know more about him. And he can’t have that.

Dexter

Dexter has body dysmorphia and control issues. He accepts that he can’t control the things around him because he’s a soldier and he’s been in unimaginable situations. But the one thing he can control is how he looks. How much he works out. How defined his muscles are. He’s fine traveling and sleeping rough because he can still control how active he is and how much he exercises. In the same way that Saracen gets his endorphins from sex and food, Dexter gets his from exercise. It’s how he can put up with all of the nonsense that goes on with the others. In some ways, his appearance is all he has. Saracen has his secret power. Erskine had his crusade with Corrival. Anton his hotel. Dexter is known as being the person with the toned physique. If that gets taken away then who is he?

Ghastly

Ghastly has survivor’s guilt. He’s seen too many friends die and so many times it should have been him. It’s why he puts so much effort into making armoured clothes. Because he is going to do everything in his power to make sure his friends don’t die again.

[As a result of a Dead Man mission gone wrong Larrikin, Dexter, and Saracen are hanging naked from the ceiling of a dungeon. Anton enters.] Anton: Oh! Larrikin: Yep. We're naked. Dexter: They couldn't have left our underwear on? Saracen: I wasn't wearing any. Larrikin: Why wouldn't you be wearing underwear? Saracen: I chafe. Anton: ...I want off the team.

Happy late holidays: here's a comic that I totally didn't make just because it grinds my gears to see holly labeled as mistletoe

[Image ID: A digital comic with 10 panels. The first panel depicts two branches of holly strung from the ceiling. The background is green with a red abstract shape to accentuate the holly. There is also a speech bubble which reads "look!". The next panel has Larrikin, a black person with freckles, hazel eyes and curly ginger-and-brown hair tied into a bun with a golden ribbon. Their hair has a single white streak. They are grinning and are wearing a brown sweater, the text of which is not fully visible. They have a speech bubble which reads "It's mistletoe, you know what that means". The text "definitely put it there" is pointed at Larrikin. Opposite them is Anton, a muscular irish-eastern asian man with long, black and gray hair and violet eyes. He has a small scar on his nose and is looking up, mouth slightly open. He is wearing a red turtleneck and a green cardigan. Both of them are cut off at the bicep. The background is green. The next panel has Larrikin looking surprised and Anton pointing up, saying "That's holly". He has a scar on the back of his hand. The background is green. The fourth panel has a red background, and the text "It's a common misconception", along with drawings of holly and mistletoe, with holly being labeled "red berries, spiky leaves" and mistletoe being labeled "white berries, branches". The fifth panel has Larrikin looking embarrassed, rubbing the back of their head, with a speech bubble that reads "Oh of course, I totally knew that" It is now visible that their shirt says "ginger" and has a picture of a bread loaf on it. The background is red. The next panel has a green background and has two mistletoe branches on it, with a speech bubble that reads "this is mistletoe". The next panel has both of them cut off at the thigh, showing that Larrikin is wearing dark brown trousers and Anton is wearing black trousers. The background is green, with a red accent shape. The holly branches are still in place, but Anton is now holding mistletoe, looking away, smiling slightly and blushing. His other hand is in his pocket. Larrikin looks surprised. The next panel has Anton looking surprised as Larrikin grabs his face, the background is red and the motion is accentuated by the text "grab". Larrikin's nails are painted red. The next panel has Larrikin smiling, with a speech bubble that says "You are so silly". The background is green. The last panel has them kissing, both smiling. Anton has one arm around Larrikin's upper back, holding the mistletoe aloft with his other hand. Larrikin has one of their hands on Anton's cheek. The background is red with a green accent shape, and it is now visible that Larrikin's shirt says "gingerbread man" but with the "bread" portion replaced by a loaf of bread. / End ID]

May I perhaps ask about the brain rot?

this is going to be incoherent but something about rue picking his discipline because he was a horny stupid teenager who never had to think and shudder never getting a choice because it was formed by anger. but it was rue who killed his whole family and ends up better off outnumbered in combat. and like they both feel guilt about their discipline but it's for drastically different reasons and just. hm. parallels

shudder found his purpose after the war and his purpose was helping people and his hotel. and he settled down and was happy and had that going for him even with the fucking atomic bomb in his chest while rue travelled and fucked and became a fulfilling prophecy of the reasons behind his guilt

and i just feel like there's a lot to be said about how rue is an addict — sex, booze, anything to take his mind off of things and dull them a little bit. he's this squirming pile of guilt and has this constant ache in his chest that's all the emotions he's trying not to look at, and then you've got shudder who's kept himself as a steady lifeline for people like rue who are running and running

my own personal headcanon is that what happened in and pre-sow was that rue and vex just fucking. lied. like they went "oh yeah the argument was about my discipline" because it was actually way more serious than that and they don't want to talk about it but all the dead men have known for centuries and are in on the joke. but that's another post in itself lol but basically it's like. something something i can see through you i can see every part of you but your murderous rage has made you shield it from me anyway. i can see everything and take and grab and hide and bury because it's the only thing i can stand to do to get these horrors away from me. you know?

Shudder: Does anyone have any cologne? Saracen?

Saracen: No, Ghastly said I’m not allowed to wear cologne again until I prove I can be responsible with it.

Ghastly: I hope you too have a good explanation for this.

Valkyrie: we have three actually.

Skulduggery: pick your favourite.
