I don't think I'll ever feel as betrayed by a book title as I did by the second to last book of the Skulduggery Phase I. Because I saw it in a German bookstore and got really excited upon seeing the title - Die Rückkehr der Toten Männer (lit.: Return of the Dead Men). And then I opened it to take a look at the original title and got hit over the head with Last Stand of Dead Men and suddenly had a very, very bad feeling.

Dead Men Halloween costumes circa 1970s, Happy Halloween!

[Image ID: A digital drawing of the Dead Men posed for a group photo. The background is dark. To the left, Larrikin dressed as Gomez Addams and Anton dressed as Morticia Addams. Larrikin's hair is slicked back and he's drawn himself a pencil mustache. He's wearing a pin-stripe suit and carrying Anton in his arms, smiling up at him. Anton has dark-colored make-up on and is wearing a black dress and shoes, and holding a rose in one hand. To their right is Skulduggery Dressed as Miss Marple, wearing a pink jacket and skirt combo, white tights and gloves, black shoes and a pink bowler hat with flowers. He also has a gray wig on. To his right is Erskine, dressed as 60s Joker, with face paint, dyed green hair, a green shirt, a black bow and a purple 3-piece suit. Knelt by his feet is Hopeless, shapeshifted to look slightly more feminine, with curly hair and a pink, blood-stained dress and heels. They are dressed up as a Night of the Living Dead zombie, with black lipstick and eyeliner running down their face. They are snarling at the camera. To Erskine's right is Saracen Rue, dressed up as Han Solo, winking. He has his arms crossed and his outfit consists of a white low-cut shirt, a brown vest, brown trousers and shoes and a holster belt. To his right is Dexter, with long wavy hair, dressed as Boromir from Lord of the Rings. He is smiling and his outfit consists of a red cape with a fur lining, a silver tunic with a brown belt and a silver collar with a white gemstone. His trousers are gray and his boots are brown. Finally, in the right side of the drawing is Ghastly Bespoke, dressed as Dolly from Hello, Dolly!. He is wearing a gold dress, and a ginger wig. / End ID]

Anton deciding whether or not he likes someone entirely based off of how they treat Ghastly is the cutest damn thing I've ever seen

Anton is a sweetheart!!!! He adores his friends so much!!!!! And you fools sleep on him!!

Thinking about how in the book Skulduggery Pleasant, the titular character named himself “Skulduggery” and then years later became a living skeleton, which was a completely unrelated event.

What's your favourite Hopeless AND Ravel headcanon???

Hiya anon, I just love the idea of them being besties before the war even starts. I love the idea that they're each other's lifeline, that however messy it is they are the one that helps the other get through. I love the idea of them being complementary opposites, of being able to challenge each other from heading down the wrong paths while still being able to see and understand each other. I love the idea that Hopeless' death is what pushed Ravel over the edge. I love the idea that Hopeless' survival would have helped Ravel save himself.

I hope I get to read more this year. It's been like 3 yrs since I read a new book n ab 2 yrs since I reread one. I'll be busy w school for a while but it would be nice to find a good book again

#thinking of my bookworm upbringing #16 years it was so solid #what happened #how do i return to that #im also picky w the books i like so tbat doesn't make it easy #but i want to give more sci fi a chance #fantasy yes but i never really got exposed to any i found interesting #but now i have the urge to find the best one #even tho I don't like the author anymore nor am i confident the second half of the series written is good based on feedback from it #i want to reread skulduggery pleasant again. i mostly remember the first 2 books n last stand of dead men/the dying of the light #tho i did get gifted ressjrection i didnt read more than like the first 2 chapters #but the first part of the series genuinely had really good plots nd esp the plot ab the man w the golden eyes #nd like thinking to each book there was always something that stuck out that just was so good #ive reread that entire series at least 9 times. individual books even more #i want that kind of magic again #ziza🗣️ #sp

auuuugh there is only skulduggery pleasant in my brain right now.

#i support women's (valkyrie cain's) wrongs #like. okay. i grew up on this series and it's absolutely fundamental to my psyche #and i dont even care about the quality of the books i will read all of them forever #but also like. valkyrie is my og blorbo. my og Character I Rotate In My Mind #i also had a huge crush on her. and then derek landy made her bisexual thank u derek<3 #but like. i just finished reading hell breaks loose. the dead men prequel set in 1703 #and. as a connoisseur of Imagining Scenarios #i am particularly fond of constructing time travel scenarios in my brain featuring my Characters of choice #in this case my best friend my chew toy ms valkyrie cain #so i was reading the book slow. spending my spare time imagining scenarios where valkyrie time travels back to enter this narrative #IMAGINE MY SURPRISE #when HALFWAY THROUGH THE BOOK #one of the mysterious masked characters is revealed to be VALKYRIE CAIN TIME TRAVELLED BACK FROM THE FUTURE #my scenarios!!!!! my little scenarios!!!! they happened in the book!!!!! #anyway im so beyond over the moon. that book was so sexy. ive got to reread the series now. #ive got to put valkyrie cain in my mouth and suck on her like a hard candy (NOT SEXUAL!!!!) #i feeel like a dog tearing apart a much beloved chew toy. except the chew toy. is Character #i need to find one of the og series books where valkyrie murders the most people and then i need to eat it #on god i wish these books got more tumblr fame because they fuck like hell. i mean. i love percy jackson as much as the next guy #but i feel like tumblr would eat the sp series up #like. its about a skeleton detective and the world's most violent teenage girl and theyre so platonically obsessed with each other #that theyd both blow the world up in defence of the other. #and also both of them have the magical potential of a nuclear bomb and are trying sososo hard all the time to not just snap #and kill everyone in a ten mile radius. but also they're not good people and they love violence so muc h #god i really did read some extremely violent books as a teen/preteen #at least skulduggery pleasant was aimed at that age group. i was also obsessed with the valhalla trilogy and. dear lord. dear lord

Hey, I‘m kind of a die hard DMW fan. Since I discovered them in 2021, your works have replaced Canon in my heart and I‘ve been much happier about the SP fandom since my friend recommended me your fics. I‘ve actually drawn some fan art on my Tumblr if you‘re interested, and last year for Christmas I (very clumsily) bound the first book for myself and 3 of my friends.

All that being said, I‘ve been dying to know if you‘re still planning on continuing the series eventually. I know you‘ve been busy IRL and I‘ve been trying not to get my hopes up, but it would really give me some closure/make my day to know.

You deserve the world for DMW and all that you and AmaraqWolf have already written in that verse, I‘ve never loved a fanfic that much before. You made me love characters that barely even existed in canon and DMW makes me feel safe while still being exciting and suspenseful. Just, thank you for writing.

Oh and if you would like to have the pdf I formatted for the books I‘d be happy to send it to you.

'Clumsily'. Those are gorgeous is what they are. I'm very glad you've taken them offline where you can't lose them, especially in such a lovely manner. Not that I remove my creative works, as a rule, but there's no quite telling what the Internet will do, so I always encourage people to make copies.

To answer your question: yes, I am still writing DMW. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. When I might, I dare not speculate, let alone promise. Sometimes the knowledge that people are waiting on it has its own dampening effect, so I'm slowly training myself not to be bothered by the expectation. (Don't feel bad about being hype, though. I'm a reader too. Sometimes you just Want.)

It's funny to me when people say 'I know you're busy irl' because honestly, writing *is* my irl. If I'm not writing one thing I'm writing another (or trying to figure out my shit so I get back to writing. Unpacking from the move comes under this header). The biggest competitor to my time is video games. And the need to work for income for shelter and sustenance, I GUESS.

There's a lot I want to write and each has their season, but the writing will always be there. The series is not over yet. Until it is, it will be there waiting for me. Hopefully that's as reassuring as I meant it to be.

I bought HBL as ebook BC it was only 5 bucks on German Amazon and it unlocked at midnight.

Friendly reminder that this is not a spoiler free blog, but all spoilers will be tagged with "HBL Spoilers".

I sadly lost my love for Landy and Skulduggery somewhere during early Phase 2, but for no specific reason I picked up Armageddon Outta Here again just yet, and honestly, Across A Dark Plain in particular is still a brilliant little piece of writing.

EDIT: Oh I forgot Dexter, he's not a big fan but will smoke occ, only when saracen is smoking with him and Anton tho. If Dexter smokes alone he tends to get rlly freaked out and spacey the next few hours after. Reality gets smudged and he can't tell the difference and he freaks out when by himself but with Anton he knows he will be with someone experienced and saracen is someone he lives with and knows is real, it keeps him on reality

Hi everyone here is my thoughts on what the dead mens smoking habits are, specifically referenced to my other hc; "I think Anton smokes weed" (while also being high)

I haven't posted Skulduggery Pleasant art in a bit, so here's a wip of a bigger piece I'm working on!

[Image ID: A digital drawing of two stained glass windows. The first is orange in color, with rowan branches and daisies. Larrikin, a black person with freckles, hazel eyes and curly ginger-and-brown hair, is pictured standing in the middle of it with one leg bent, and their arms lifted in a sort of jazz hands motion, with small halos around them. They are wearing a 3-piece suit with red trousers, brown shoes, a red tailcoat with gold details, a red and green striped waistcoat, a white shirt and a green cravat. They are smiling and they have a halo that looks like the sun. The other stained glass window is blue, with Anton, a muscular irish-eastern asian man with long, black hair and violet eyes, pictured standing in the middle of it. His feet are submerged in lashing waves, and the background is a starry sky with rhododendrons. He has his arms crossed over his chest, one hand placed on his opposite shoulder. The gist's arms protrude from the waves, trying to drag him down. His outfit consists of a long black coat, black trousers, a gray waistcoat, a white shirt and a blue bow. He has a halo that looks like the moon.

#skulduggery pleasant #anton shudder #larrikin fetter #fanart #it will include all the dead men when it's done #Fun fact! It's actually a redraw of like my first sp fanart #which i never posted because even then i felt it didn't look as good as my other stuff
