Aroace who's extremely confused by their tertiary attraction call that a disoriented aroace
At least once every day, I think about Primo’s costume and Nihil’s costume and I almost want to laugh because just look at this shit
The contrast is just wild.
Primo’s costume is exactly that: It’s made with that same shiny materials as a Disney Princess dress-up outfit is. Meanwhile, Nihil’s is all extravagant and I look at that and I’m like “Yeah, that is indeed a Satanic Pope of the Satanic Church, mhm.”
And I absolutely understand why this is. I completely understand that when Tobias started Ghost, there just wasn’t enough in the budget for something too insane. I mean, Primo’s mask is a generic old man’s. They just needed enough of the costume to communicate what they were about and, for as costumey (derogatory) as it was, it did just that. Well done, Tobias and Primo.
But then. Ghost’s costuming just gets more and more intense and ornate with each passing guy until you wind up with Copia, who is essentially a blue art deco disco ball.
So you kinda just. Have to look at Primo and try to reconcile some sort of in-universe explanation as to why his father and brothers are all dripped to the devils while he’s. Like that.
Personally, I like the idea that his devotion to Satan means he doesn’t care as much about his appearance because, in his mind, obsessing over detail distracts from his message about his god.
Or, better yet, as we recognize that Primo was actually batshit insane and hated people, he probably was just asked by the satanic tailors what touches he would like done to his chasuble and he just went “Idfc we’re all trash and are gonna die anyway, just make sure it has red on or or whatever 😒”
hello saw tumblies here is yet another saw edit i hope u like it 😁
There’s no way he’s not her father. I love the little, quiet moments. I read a fic once where she forced him to tie up his hair because it was messy, which was adorable. A very strict, no nonsense six year old Frannie is a very cute image. And, of course, Cedric would have to humour her.
If they could have father daughter moment

Always fascinated by this.
Love the effect of friendship and love on behaviour, especially that of villains or otherwise morally grey characters. This also suggests that the fundamental difference between Lord Vile and Skulduggery is love - love is what created Vile (Skulduggery losing his family and being consumed by rage) and love is what killed him too (Val’s companionship and love of Skul allowing him to move on and improve himself.)
I adore this duo so much - platonic soulmates for the win!
I’m a little obsessed with Skulduggery telling alt Vile that he’s the superior one in DotL because it’s such a fascinating trope subversion.
The typical trope is that a character who is a morally good person is faced with an alternate version of themselves who is stronger, but also evil. Then said character must battle with whether or not they value being strong or being good more.
And this is why I love Skulduggery here so much. He has spent nearly his whole life being the despicable one. He’s cruel. He’s strong and he bullies those weaker than him. Even if he is clever, he is ultimately a brute who’s spent so long being used as a weapon that he’s come to love it. He’s been strong his whole life, he doesn’t want to be strong anymore. He wants to be good in order to please Valkyrie.
And finally, he is faced with a version of himself who is even stronger than him, but also a worse person. He is finally the better person, even if that makes him weaker. He’s happy to be the good one. Even if it means getting literally dragged off and tortured, he gets to know that he’s not as awful as he could be. It is no moral battle for him, it is finally being able to claim moral victory.
And he’s never really worried, even when they take him away to be tortured. Because Vile is alone, there’s nobody in the world who loves him. Skulduggery, on the other hand, has someone who’d burn the world down for him. He doesn’t need to be stronger because he has someone he can rely on. And that’s how he gets away with claiming superiority to Vile. His growth as a character over the series has resulted in there being someone who will break him out.
Anyways, subversion of annoying tropes for the win. Skulduggery’s relationship with Vile fascinates me.
I understand this. I love how Allison isn’t the modern goth stereotype - she feels, and isn’t afraid to admit she cares. She isn’t a content loner, she wants friends - she doesn’t want to be ignored.
Leaving school recently, I’ve found myself lost. I am sometimes afraid my heart has already died. Everyone else seems excited about what adulthood will bring, but I’m just lost and sad. I have every privilege in the world, but can’t make anything of myself. Can I revive my heart?

I love this art, and I love the new album! So gorgeous! I love the line work. It looks so similar to the official art in the cd books.
Peacefield took me a second, but it’s fine because so did Lachryma- and I love that song so much! So Peacefield until Satanized is great, but the next two are kind of hit or miss for me. Cenotaph until the end is incredible and fabulous. I knew I would adore ‘marks of the evil one’ just from the title😂. I am so excited for my cd to arrive!
happy skeleta day 💜
