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.
Gods, that would be awful. In the livestream today tho he said that Valitsa was his favorite ship ... and joked about Fletcher only having a minor appearance in SOW. So I guess it's not likely
I really….really hope Landy doesn’t pair Valkyrie with Fletcher for the end of the series? Like I’ve just realised, it’s the exact kind of shit he’d pull.
Text post you’d make: I’ve decided that Seb*stian T*o eats strictly cardboard because at least cannibalism will be something interesting about his character. Yes this is a fact. No I don’t take constructive criticism.
god DAMN, there is no way in hell I could ever come up with something like that but I am nonetheless flattered
sometimes i just want to laugh at how absurd everything is. like, jeff bezos has enough money to literally end the war in yemen. he could literally end it. nearly any celebrity in the world has the money to fix the flint water crisis. like there is a handful of rich people who, if they just put their money where their fucking mouths were, could solve so many problems. but they dont!!! they just buy another house, or a car, or a company where they don’t pay their workers fair wages so they can get richer. it’s just!!!!!!! sometimes i want to laugh bc it’s so absurd and this is why we say eat the rich.
Natasha Romanoff & Tony Stark throughout the MCU
So the new SP cover is actually super lit??? Who would have thought. The purple colouring looks amazing and I actaully love how Skulduggery's Skul is drawn.
Only downside is how big Omen is depicted ... it suggests he'll play a big part again and I couldn't care less for his chapters
This!
When you think about how Val and Tanith first met, their relationship is really fucked up. Back then Val was twelve and had huge bruises all over her body (because of a fucking tree but still!). Instead of being concerned Tanith complimented her for it. Like, how fucked up is that??? Next thing we know, Ghastly and Tanith take Valkyrie along to Serpine´s castle, even though they thought they were gonna get caught or killed.
To make things worse Melissa and Desmond have no idea about any of this. Sure, they think their daughter is kind of an outcast who spends to much time alone in her room but they also think she is safe and happy and stable. It´s a fucking miracle they didn´t literally kill Skulduggery when they found out what he put their daughter through...
So yeah, Tanith definitely should have protected Val from all that shit because no one else could have. Skulduggery didn´t see the problem, her parents didn´t know, China didn´t care, Ghastly was too close to Skulduggery and saw that Val was good for him and Kenspeckle didn´t have the influence. It´s really sad that Tanith sees Val as her little sister and still didn´t protect her. They could have still trained and everything but she shouldn´t have fought criminals at twelve.
y’all know i used to love tanith, but recently my feelings about her have become kind of complicated.
she was deeply traumatised as a kid when she was abandoned by her parents to become an assassin and was forced to kill someone at the ripe old age of 13.
on one hand, maybe this would make her think that valkyrie’s got it pretty good in comparison to what she went through.
but on the other hand, you would think that this might make her feel more protective of valkyrie and realise that skulduggery effectively training her to be an emotionally stunted ex-mass murderer (exactly like him) is more than a little bit fucked up.
it bothers me that she was so completely fine with a twelve year old being endangered by a man who is so clearly insane and dangerous, and has no sense of responsibility for her wellbeing.
ghastly, to his credit, tried a little bit in the beginning to stop skulduggery dragging her into this, but was very easily persuaded. ghastly had known skulduggery for hundreds of years, and knew more than most about all the heinous things he’s done, before, during and after the war. unless ghastly’s also a sociopath, there is no way he’d be okay with this then again, he knows skulduggery and yet still chooses to be friends with him, so idk.
of course china didn’t really care, but the way she’s written, especially in the beginning, makes it clear that she was never going to. frankly, i actually find it a little out of character that young valkyrie gains her respect so quickly, considering how little she had for almost everyone else. that said, valkyrie was trained from very early on that acting exactly like skulduggery was the only way to get his approval so he would keep teaching her magic, and skulduggery is one of the few people china does respect.
idk where i’m going with this but i guess it just makes me really sad that all the adults in her life completely failed her (minus kenspeckle, who tried, but wasn’t in a position where he could do anything about it and then DIED).
#he really said we cope through humor
And then there´s me: still hung up over Skulduggery Pleasant even though it´s been literally 8 years since I entered the fandom and yet it´s still my main one
Do you guys remember when we used to spend years and years in one fandom? Years, guys! Things are changing so quickly now. Sometimes that overwhelms me.
