The Version Without Sunglass Of This And Its Lineart Bc I’m Really Happy With How Nef’s Face/the

There are so many people in this fandom who just hate Valkyrie or think she´s annoying, but honestly I love her character. 

She´s so incredibly flawed. She´s arrogant and rude. She often doesn´t think about collateral damage and thinks the end justifies the means, because that´s what she learned from Skulduggery. All those things make her a round and more dimensional character. I don´t wanna read about someone perfect. perfect is boring. I wanna read about someone who fucks up, someone who has bad character traits. Valkyrie does. She fucks up, she sometimes is a shitty person, but she always gets up again and tries her best.

In spite of her many flaws, she doesn´t stop trying to be a better person. Unlike Skulduggery she is able to get over herself and to admit that her (past) behavior is often questionable. Even though fate dealt her a shitty hand with the whole being Darquesse thing, she still tries her best. Obviously, she didn´t handle the situation very well back in phase 1, but she still basically was a kid back then. A very frightened kid who was told by Skulduggery again and again not to tell anyone else because they would find a solution... 

So yeah, Skulduggery and everything in phase 1 fucked Valkyrie up, but at the end of the day she at least tries to be a good person and i respect her for that. Also, can we all just take a moment to appreciate how fucking much she loves her family and Xena?

Dexter puts this sign up in front of his house in phase 2 because he’s sick of skulduggery returning into his life and messing it up

Missing the old Dexter

A/N: This is completely self-indulgent, since my Dexter Vex feels were at a peak. This is set during SOW, but there are no spoilers involved. Valkyrie and Tanith miss the old Dexter and Skulduggery knows how to get to him.

„I’m worried about him.“ 

Tanith looked up from cleaning her sword and sent Valkyrie a clueless look. „I’m worried about all of us.“ Meaningfully she motioned at the all surrounding death threats of the Leibniz Universe. „But do specify.“

Valkyrie put her head up on her hands and sighed. „Dexter. He is … not himself.“

Taniths’ shoulders slumped down a little. It was true, she had noticed it herself. But what was there to do about it? He was marked by all the things that have happened to him. He didn’t take life as lightly as he used to. He wasn’t an adventurer anymore, but a man who had seen too much, had endured too much, had lost too much. He was slowly but securely turning into Skulduggery. There was still a spark inside of him that reminded her of the old Dexter - a friendly wink, a sudden uncontrollable laugh, an instinctively done dance move during a fight. But a lot was missing. So much of him wasn’t there. And the sparks didn’t last long. They vanished, making space for the grim, scarred, silent Dexter whose beard had replaced his smile.

„Do you think there is anything we can do to…“ Valkyrie stopped mid-sentence, sighing like any attempt of restoring the old Dexter was hopeless from the start. Her sad face combined with the sad surroundings and the sad situation made Tanith wish for a medicine strong enough to cure her friends traumas alltogether. All of them wiped away, making space for happy memories and happy new experiences. 

Skulduggery started getting up from where he had been meditating close-by and put on his hat. He stayed standing there, seemingly checking if Saracen and Dexter were returning from their hunt. Gently and surprisingly moved he said: „I can help.“

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

I’m kinda upset that the girl in the Music Video for Galway Girl did not have black hair??? Like come on, that would have made the Valkyrie vibes perfect

Last Stand of Dead Men - Chapter 60: One little word

Everyone drop what you're doing it's Paget day ‼️ happy birthday to the sweetest woman ☹️💗

a character you think isn’t appreciated enough?

I actually really like Militsia?? She seems really sweet and I like her interactions with Val (although sometimes they can feel a bit one sided)

Like she actually raises some good points early on when they first meet + genuinely cares for Val (so far..) rather than using her as some weird ego boost and entertainment unlike a certain scamdullery pheasant
