Tanith: I Just Thought He Needed To Listen To Common Sense And Reasonable Discourse.

“Writing is something you do alone. It’s a profession for introverts who want to tell you a story but don’t want to make eye contact while doing it.”

According to the clock on the Bentley’s dashboard, it was 06:23. About 37 minutes before the world had been scheduled to end.

Skulduggery and Valkyrie are used to high stakes and heroic deeds done with minutes to spare. Together, they’ve saved the world a hundred times over. They were bound to slip up eventually.

I will die on this hill

Time for random Dexter headcanons:

- He totally uses his magic instead of a microwave whenever he wants to warm up something. It´s way faster and so much cooler.

- He doesn´t like to stay in one place for too long but if he has to, then he´d always chose his apartment in Dublin. It´s home. Whenever he goes there, he leaves lots of trinkets he found during his travels. By now the apartment looks like a tourist shop. The other dead men call him a clutterer but Val thinks it´s wicked. 

- There´s a framed picture of all the Dead Men together on his nightstand but whenever the others come over, he hides it because he knows that Saracen and Erskine would make fun of him.

- He's an overthinker. Sometimes everything gets just too much and it´s just too much pain. In those moments he really needs a drink - or rather one too many. 

- While Saracen is the womanizer, Dexter is known to seek comfort in someone else´s bed when he´s drunk. 

- All the overthinking causes insomnia. When things are really bad and he lays awake the whole night, he´ll watch documentaries on YouTube. That´s why he´s an expert on the most random and most useless subjects.

- Cats just love him. Even the really grumpy ones. He´s like a magnet for them.

- He heard about what went down between Ghastly and Tanith from Erskine but didn´t realize how much it hurt Ghastly until he talked to him at the Requiem Ball. He never forgave himself for not checking up on his friend sooner. 

- Out of all the dead men he was closest to Saracen but Erskine was a close second. That´s why his betrayal hit him especially hard. 

- Most of the time he prefers to listen and doesn´t talk too much unless he has to say something important. That´s why he´s the go-to person for the other dead men if they need to talk about something. 

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.

okay so we all know that Skulduggery likes to show off in front of young Val. So just imagine him using lots and lots of long, complicated words in order to confuse her. And Val being the little shite she is obviously has to do something against it, so she starts reading dictionaries to be able to keep up with him. Especially, when he´s stuck with the faceless ones she reads them almost obsessively. Consequently, she starts to sound really snooty, whenever she talks. Unfortunately she won´t break her habit of cursing, so anything tat comes out of her mouth is just an utter mess.

Half of the time Fletcher has no idea anymore what she´s even talking about. China secretly thinks it´s the most hilarious thing ever. Tanith has no idea what to do. How the fuck do you handle a fourteen year old whose favorite book is a dictionary? And Ghastly, being the “responsible” one, is just really creeped out. He swears to himself to never! let! another kid! near Skulduggery! ever! again!!!

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

“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.”
