I Can't Stress Enough How Much I Miss StumbleUpon

I know. Somehow, I’ve always known.

Carrie Fisher as Leia Organa in The Skywalker Saga (1977 - 2019)

I made a Skulduggery Pleasant tier list! :D

If anyone’s interested in ranking some of the characters:

PS: sorry if the character names are a bit small

Bothering the beast

i see so many posts interpreting nat’s ‘are you incapable of letting go of your ego for one goddamn second?’ line as a defensive dig at an undeserving tony and i just need to say something about this line (as someone who loves both nat and tony!)

if you don’t think tony’s ego is a bit contributor to cacw, you’re looking at the definition of ego too narrowly. in the strictest sense, tony’s cacw isn’t about his personal moral values about oversight - he’s not thinking about himself in terms of winning an argument or anything.

however, that in no way means his ego isn’t involved.

Ghastly: If Skulduggery knew I was helping you open a portal to the faceless ones’ dimension, he’d-

Valkyrie: I don’t care. He’d do it for me. Tell me he wouldn’t. If I were missing-

Ghastly: He’d burn the whole world down till he could dig you out of the ashes. I know. Hell, you think I don’t want to burn the whole world right now? I’m just trying to be a responsible adult.

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

carol & crystal

re-reading (well– listening, technically) has made me realise how SAD the plotline with the twins and beryl + fergus is ):

when i first read it, i just saw them all as comic relief and the death didnt hit me that hard, but now?? its honestly heartbreaking,, having seen the massive character development of the twins and then seeing the effect that carol’s death had on the rest of the family even though they didn’t know what had really happened etc etc is rlly sad

Skulduggery headcanons that I love and need to share 

- Dexter giving Valkyrie piggie back rides, when Sulduggery doesn’t oblige to do it - “DExter, you undermine my auThorITY!”  - “What authority?” - Tanith and Dexter are punch line people who sit in the back and high five each other whenever they say one - Ghastly once got super drunk because of the whole Tanith situation and Skulduggery accompanied him, listened to his sorrow and afterwards drove him home and tugged him in. He’s a friend like that.  - Dexter Vex is ticklish af  - Valkyrie first sees him get tickled by Saracen and she finds it adorable especially bc Dexter is like the most flawless looking guy on the team - Skulduggery actually adores hugging and cuddling Valkyrie, but he is self conscious bc of his bones - China and Saracen are the only ones who have absolutely no doubts about Dexter’s sexuality  - Everyone else keeps wondering  - “He never tells us anything!” “Well, maybe, he doesn’t want to!” “Ghastly, that’s not the point! We’re his friends.” “What if he has a thing for… monsters.. and aliens?”  - Saracen laughing nervously in the back after he’d just spent night #120053 with Dexter  - China remembering that moment she’d realized Dexter was like the only person in existence who doesn’t crush on her in the slightest bit and sighing  - on Dexter’s and Saracen’s wedding Dexter slowdances with Tanith and she cries bc for some reason it reminds her of Ghastly and of all she was robbed of  - Skulduggery and Valkyrie watching crappy TV and Skulduggery tugging her in afterwards when she fell asleep  - Ghastly gives the best hugs and Valkyrie keeps stealing them, especially when a mission took an extra toll on her  - “Val, I’m a very respectful member of the Elders…” “I respect and cuddle you!”  - He can’t help loving it even tho he keeps making a show of how big of an exception this is it’s not  - Dexter gets tired when drunk, Ghastly gets mad, Saracen gets funny and Valkyrie causes riots - we don’t talk about tanith, she rarely drinks for good reasons  - Saracen is basically Valkyrie’s mom when Melissa isn’t around  - “have you had any breakfast yet?” “are you alright?” “should we call a doctor?” “write me a message when you got home safely.” skulduggery: “I’m literally driving her to the front door!!!” Saracen: “I’m painfully aware!!”  - tanith and saracen have this amazing vibe that only people who used to have a thing going on but mutually decided it doesn’t work out have: they wear sunglasses and judge others and it only takes one meaningful look for them to communicate  - it drives Dexter crazy  - “What are you guys telling each other???”
