What’s this? What’s this? A blog entry that isn’t about ME? Has the world gone INSANE?
Yes. Yes it has. But I’m sure you don’t mind. Most of you were already nuts long before this...
Tom Percival, the wonderful cover artist for Skulduggery, has his own book out for younger readers- "Tobias and the Super Spooky Ghost Book". I could tell you a bit about the story, I could tell you that Tobias is a lonely ghost who sets out to play some scary tricks on the girl who has just moved into his house, but what’s the point of that? Just look at this cover!
Isn’t it awesome? Now, yes, some of you may be thinking that it’s a tad too young for Skulduggery readers (it’s aimed at 3-5 year olds), but I’m fairly certain that fans of Mr Percival are looking at this right now, just itching to get their greedy little hands on it.
Good God, I think I’ve just realised what I’m going to buy for my nieces for their first Christmas.
Yes, fine, they’re still only a few months old, but STILL! This can be the first book on their shelves! Oh I like that. I like that idea. It’s a gloriously fun book, and perfect for preparing them for Skulduggery a little further down the road.
I am seriously going to be the best uncle ever.
For those of you who are interested- and I know there are many- you should pop over to Tom’s site- www.tom-percival.com - and take a wander around. And to celebrate the release of his first book, I’ve asked Tom to draw a piece of Skulduggery “fan art”, in the Tobias style.
Be prepared for an overload of Skulduggery cuteness.

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 3026 Newer› Newest»well there is the nahhhh that would be way to strange it's not even his face
Hey, have you ever read Artimis Fowl and the time parodox?
nope have you ever read Harry Potter
Yes.
hmmmmm actually there might be a way that Val could get together with Skulduggery but it's so foolish and not hmmmmmmm....
Anyways, in the time parodox, an 80 year old elf and a 16 year old boy go through a time warp, and when they come out, the boy is 18 is and the elf is also an adolescent, though how much she aged backwards is unclear.
THEY KISSED. (Cues the EW!s) cuz the time thingy brought their ages closer together. Derek Landy may just do that, but I highly doubt it. too cheesy.
no it's not that something happenes in the fifth book nothing major and it could eventually react to a valduggery but Derek Landy would NEVER do anything like that he would he....
So what's your idea for Val getting together for skulduggery?
Just curious.
well Skulduggery gets a facande tattoo and so now he can have a normal face when ever...
i ment facade tattoo
yess first comment on a new page! sry had to do that
I don't mean cheesy as in the kiss, but to suddenly bring time portals into the world of SP is too sudden, unless it becomes a major plot in a future book. No one is gonna go, "Okay, everyone. Let's hop into the time portal and see if we can't stop Serpine from killing my family!"
I figure if Derek meant time portals to be possible in SP, Skulduggery would have said above quote a LONG time ago.
yeah but it wasn't Serpine who actually led them to their deaths it was China Sorrows i blame here for skulduggery's skeleton form
The bit Derek wrote about the Facade tattoo was pretty short, so it's vague whether the tattoo affects his whole body. We just saw it on Ghastly's head.
sure serpine killed them but China set up the bait and brought them to him
China Sorrows led his family into the trap, Serpine did the actual murdering, and Lord Vile is suspected to be the one to bring Skulduggery back to life.
well it does work on his body cus he has a chest in the story so yeah i guess it works on his whole body
no i also think China did that
So China and Serpine are responsible.
Both responsible, sorry.
i guess we might find out if Lord Vile did kill him cus he's might come back in the sixth book if you read the end of the fifth i beleive he is the next main villan
not kill him bring him back woops miss wrote that
...
I wonder if Derek is aware that there are so many comments not because of his blog (we haven't ONCE mentioned Tom Percival), but because we're holding conversations on how wrong Valduggery is, and such.
i have to leave for now be back on in like two hours more or less if i do not come back before midnight that means i accidentally fell asleep during iron man
I know what happens in the 5th book. Tesseract asks Skulduggery whether Vile DID bring him back, but he doesn't answer.
maybe but have to go BYE!
bye.
Back to being cold and lonely... *sniff*
AH...
Is that...*peers into the distance*...a fellow Canadian I see?...I...I...think it is...odd.
What province are you from Melinda?
Anywho... Bonjour mon amies. Commence ca va?
Also, I have posted some more art. No fanfic though. I will also post pictures on some of my favourite animes (NOT MY DRAWINGS) and give you a brief description of the story line or something.
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY BLOG! It'd be much apprieciated.
Has anyone been to Disney Land in Florida? Did you go to the Epcot portion of it? The Canadian part was hilarious. I think I was laughing the entire time. And then there was the video. *Starts to laugh again* It was a knee slapper that. And the shop sold maple syrup...who doesn't love real maple syrup? And no, not that artificial crap that most everyone eats. I love the real stuff. It's kind of the same with fresh honey though. We eat pasturized honey and so it tastes different than if you just take the honey straight from the hive and eat it... Where am I going with this?
Blessed be,
Miss Mary
Wow, it's 3:20am-ish in Dublin, I think. And it's 10:28pm here. Odd.
ok im back i letteral just finished iron man 2 and it was .....odd i still think Skulduggery will make a way better movie as long as M. Nightly doesn't direct it we'll be fine
wow i was back faster than i thought i would be
Mary? Melinda? Anyone?
Hi!
Iron Man 2 was a great movie. Very good.
random thing just popped in my head here it is
darkness may enslave the mind but thow shall not smite thee of thy spirit for that is what keeps us alive we are mearly memories of a person
ha what do you think i got board and i don't know how but this thing popped into my head
thats the one i saw i thought it was kind of random
so what do you think of my randomness
Good. But it's thou. Just saying.
well im a bad speller so i don't really care it just popped in my head and i had to get it out other wise it would haunt my dreams
and i spelled it like that before i just thought it looked wrong
Ah! I hope I didn't offend. *Bows head in shame*
Have you visited my blog Skulgirl?
no i haven't sorry to say i've had a lot of things on my mind lately
ahhg bad grammar ahhhg my LA teacher would kill me for all this bad spelling and grammar
Hmmm... things on minds are usually bad. I hope not too bad.
no.......just stuff about skulduggery......derek landy.....his books............ARRRRGGGG WHY DID I READ THAT STUPID VALDUGGERY STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, NOW I'm back. My brother and I were fighting over the computer. For your information, I live in Ontario.
I actually think I need to go to bed soon D8. Sorry.
*bangs head on computer repeatedly*
nooooooooooooo!
Yay Ontario! Okay, so that's at least two people from Ontario who like Skulduggery Pleasant. We need more so the books come out sooner.
*deep dramatic sigh* why must i only go on when no one is on
I hate Valduggery. It's *shudders*...creepy.
Am I no-one?
yeah theres like no one in america or at least in the east that know Skulduggery i swear im like the only one who own all five books
no i just thought you left for bed
It's only 10:51pm. I am not going to bed this early...
i know right it's like the creepiest thing i have ever heard of and then i read a fanfic about it and then i read this other story about him kissing some random made up girl and then i got the worst image in my head and i CAN'T.....GET....IT....OUT!!!!!!!!!
same here it's like 10:54
If I knew of someway to get that out of your head, I'd send it to you as fast as possible. But my only suggestion is therapy. Yep, that's my idea.
i don't like therapy it's so.....awkward
your telling this ....stranger all you deep personal stuff i think its very strange
Hmmm...then I've got nothing. Damn slow internet.
i was gonna say it's taking you a long time to post comments
oh never mind
2 bars!
WHAT?
wait is that good or bad
What about telling strangers personal info.
Damnation! One bar again.
Good?...
oh i get the whole bar thing now ha i have four but you just go to this randome stranger basicaly and tell them all this personal junk
try moving around to get a better signal
I'm still not following. (God I feel like an idiot.) Two bars again!
always works for me though for some reason i always have 4 bars no matter where i go
The best I can get is two bars. Believe me, I've pretty much played musical chairs trying to find a good signal.
o forget about the therapy thing move around your.....space *is that right?* or where ever to try and get more bars
did you try moving to a totaly different room?
If I leave this room (my brother's room *shudders*) I might as well kiss the internet goodbye. It only works properly in this room. Gahh.
Oh! I get what you were talking about now! Sweet Jesus I'm slow.
wow you have a very strange internet i'm in my room and i'm loving how my older younger brother is having a sleep over with his friend and there rest of the house is nice and asleep
don't worry my friend is always like that too
*starts to read Mortal Coil again until mary's computer decides to work faster*
I do have a strange internet. I love it when no one's home. Or when it's just my brother and I because he usually goes to bed early and then it's quite.
my house is always in some type of commotion so it's nice to finally have some quiet time
Oh, dear that probably makes absolutely no sense at all. I'm at my grandmother's house right now. And my brother and I have different rooms upstairs. I meant at home for that last comment.
*looks into Derek's computer* how about you Mr. Landy do you always have a hectic house when you're not going around to sign books anywhere but america?
i use to share a room with my brothers and that was when i drew the line i got my own room.....for about a week then my brother begged me to come back then like two years later of that nonsense i asked for my own room and voila i have my own room
But yes. If my mother goes somewhere (Like Montreal, New York, wherever) for work, and when my dad works on Thursdays and my brother goes with him, I'm always by my lonesome and I love it. Because it is nice, queit, and dark. No lights on in the whole house. Good times. And I live in the country so it's even better.
LUCKY! i live right next to an on ramp to the high way im like one house away from it this morning i woke up at 530 because they were repaving the road stupid construction workers
Uh... I've never had to share a room. That's, ugh, horrible. *shudders* I mean, yes, I love my brother. But no, I don't want to share a room with him. And I want to read Mortal Coil so much. Just a few more days now.
Uhhh! Ramp. Horrible! I hate the city, and places near trains, and places like ramps.
i know you guys are luck it actually comes out the same year it's released i had to order the fourth and fifth book from amazon uk to get them the first three were at bans and nobel
it's a town not a city but right now like every where near me is a construction zone it's annoying and stupid
subject amazon uk it's very annoying not knowing how much the object your paying for is because it's in pounds not dollars
Ya, there's actually a lot of construction where I live too. Damn construction.
agreed
You're American right.
there building a whole foods that has been going on for a year now and they haven't even started the actual building yet they are making a new train station and they are remodeling the inside of a store to be a fitness edge
Ah! Question mark! It's a question. There's no period at the end of a question. *Tear spills out of eye*
I have issues.
totaly though i wish i had a british accent i do a really good fake one though to me it sounds pretty convincing
Odd.
it's ok we all have our issues for isnstance i hate lending my books to other people i flipped out when my bro came home from school with my second sp book and the corner was bent
Oh, not to the British accent, to your other comment. I wish I had a British Accent too. Although you wouldn't really notice it if you were British.
I would kill someone if that happened. If a corner of my book was bent, I would probably hyperventilate first.
yeah but i just think it sounds cool......i've read and seen way too many books and moviesset in engalnd i ment english accent i think the one sweeney todd has thats the one
i was hyperventilating the whole day he HAD the book every day was nerve racking i litterally tore the book from his hands when i was nervous he would bend the cornner i barley paid attention in class when he had my books
Anway, I have half the mind to go over to America, just to get a box of Trix (you know the cereal?), because they got rid of it like, 5 years ago from Canada. But I hate American money (it's not colour coded like Canadian money, although I think the American money will be colour coded soon) and Americans won't accept our money. So...phooey.
i didn't even let him bring the fifth book to school i told him he had to read it at home only not to bring it outside yadda yadda yadda so on and so forth
i didn't know that one of my friends moved to canada in like fourth grade and apperently she's supposed to come back next year i probably should have paid more attention to canada
yes i do know the cereal though i prefer frosted falkes
*starts singing frosted flakes theme* frosted flakes are more than good....there great!
I feel sorry for both you and your book.
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Ichapeed, ichapeed, icha...*starts shuddering* ehhhh.
Gaaah.
Ungh.
Any...Anyway, not meaning to offend. Again. But this is one thing that annoys me. (It is a common mistake mind you) It is "barely" not "barley". "Barley" is a grain I do believe. Sorry.
*starts humming Sweeney Todd songs*
sorry im such a bad speller runs in the family *raises fis in the air and shakes it angrily* CURSE YOU GENETICS!
oops meant to say fists STUPID KEYBOARD!
*Laughs*
I'm paranoid now. The damn ichapeeds are going to get me... I really miss Trix.
what are ichapeeds
Give me a second and I'll give you a link to a picture of them. Then you'll see the horrors of ichapeeds (they're not actually called that but that's my nickname for them.)
thanks hey have you ever seen Sweney Todd Demon on Fleet Street
erg meant Sweeney Todd Demon Barber on Fleet Street
No I haven't. Sadly. Here's the picture.
http://www.richard-seaman.com/Wallpaper/Nature/Centipedes/HouseCentipede.jpg
That's pretty well what they are. The one's here have slightly more legs and are generally smaller.
Oh, and they're darker coloured. And are creepier.
ugg can't get on link but thats so mean it's such a good movie Johnny Depp has the most amazing voice ever or at least i think so
I love Johnny Depp. And Johnny Yong Bosch.
Oh great, there are also mice in here.
at your grandmas house?
KALLISTA YOUR ON!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Kallista! Have you seen my latest picture on my blog?
*runs after Kallista and throws a twinkie at her face then laughs menihecaly*
Ahhh...
Ehh...
Ungh...
Icha...Ichapeed...J...Just tried to kill it, it fell, and ran away.
It's going to eat me.
*Screams in head and runs away really fast*
It will...It seeks revenge. Oh god!
"I don't want to die! Well I actually don't care so... I don't want to die like that!"
nooooo i'll save you from the.....creatures *throws self in front of mary ichapeed starts knawing on skulgirls leg*
*screams from getting wet ichapeed runs off from water skulgirl transfoms into camo gear with fully loaded water blasters and attacks kallista* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WILL HAVE YOU!
Yay! I'm in Kallista's fic more I guess. Yep, the Ichapeed is definitely exacting his revenge. Let's call him Felix.
*aims water guns at Felix and blasts at max power* MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*Rocks back and forth in the fedal position*
Yes I know. The day Mary Hiashi gets taken down by an ichapeed.
*knees buckle under skulgirl hand to ears* AHHHHH NO NOT MARIACHI IT BURRRRRRRNNNNNNNSSSSSSSS
SORRY HAVE TO GO sorry caps lock bye!
Bye Skulgirl!
You're leaving too Kallista? *frowns*
Bye...
Felix is definitely going to get me.
Nani?
The circus. That'd actually be kind of funny. I have to post this thing to promote the watchage of Fullmetal Alchemist. Are you absolutely sure Felix is not going to try and eat me?
;) Thanks Kallista. Maybe the mice will also help with protecting me. As extra protection. Just to be 1000% sure.
Bye again!
It was the greatest anime ever. (Not brotherhood though.)
Felix is back. I HATE him so much.
Oh dear god. It's 2:20am. And those mice are busy little guys.
Haha! nice, hey, Mr Landy,do you have any advice for future writers? I'm writing a book and I would like a little advice
http://dragonapine.blogspot.com/2010/10/gta-driv3r-and-general-randomness.html
New blog post for anyone who hasn't read it yet.
Cheese.
Have you been to my blog lately Dragona?
No, not lately, but if you want to laugh at pure stupidity and randomness, go to my blog, some videos that I did on my phone off my ps2, on GTA San Andreas and Driv3r...
I'll check out your blog.
Alright. Sounds good.
Wow, people are actually on this early. I thought you'd all be sensible and stay in bed.
I haven't even gone to bed yet. It is 4:00am.
It's only like 8 55 here.
The only reason I'm up is because I'm attempting to write a book and everyone else is in bed so they won't be reading over my shoulder. That really bugs me
Same Darkane, but I had to get up at 7 anyway for my anti-biotic, but Darkane, there's a new blog post, on my blog!
Ok I'll check it out Dragona. How long do you think an intro for a book should be?
Like a prologue?
At the LEAST, one A4 page...
If it's a prologue it shouldn't be any longer than 5 pages.
Ye, like a prologue. I'm not sure how long it should be. And I commented on your vids Dragona.
I'd say 2-3 pages is best.
Thanks. When I'm done I'm gonna post it on my blog.
S'alright.
Thanks Darkane, I like that one too, I might do one where I jump out of a helicopter from the maximum altitude you can get in the game, with no parachute, then I'll go weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, SPLAT... Wasted... lol
That would be awesome to watch but also stupid for you because you would die
Anyone have a good name for an assassin?
And... I generally do die quite a lot, do you like the top one, watch all of it, it's nearly 4 minuites long, but it's got a flying police car... But I like GTA, because wait, hang on, I might do that this afternoon, after going to my m8s house, and then hw... Then you can comment on my awsome...death skills, but the top one is on Driv3r when the other ones are on GTA.
Did you know that in the newer GTA, ummm... the one where you're in New York, in the Statue of Liberty I think it is, there is a big beating heart in the middle of it?
Bob the Assassin...
lol.
Alfiano the Assassin...
Yeh Mary, that's GTA IV, I have GTA III, GTA Vice city, and GTA San Andreas, but San Andreas is the best, like you can watch random planes crashing into mountains... which is fun... but not when it hits you, or you see a bear in the woods, yes that's right A BEAR!
It killed me, but I found it again and shot it, dead, I think that's why people say there is Bigfoot in the game, I think it's just a bear...
A name for an assassin eh?... How about Kazer?
*Laughs*
Bob the assassin.
Thanks Dragona but I'm talking about about times with castles, no guns and awesomely cool assassins who have names beginning with V.
Yeh, don't be nasty to Bob the assassin...
Darkane, do you like the top video, the one with the bridge?
A bear in New York or San Andreas? That's...odd...I think.
Vlad the assassin, that's russian...
Valacasa the Assassin...
I need a girls name, an awesome on!
I'm not being nasty to Bob. What about Hector if not Kazer?
It was all right.
Seraphina? Does that work?
San Andreas, in Back O Beyond, it's really hard to find, but you can sometimes see it near mount Chillad, where the planes crash... And the serial killer, aliens and other things, but you have a 1/10 chance of finding the bear...
Rockstar said "The Bigfoot myth is a fake, however, always take a camera with you, there is something in the woods"
BEAR!
I can't get the name's Valek and Yelana out of my head. They were two of the characters in poison study.
http://gta.wikia.com/Myths_in_GTA_San_Andreas
Read that, and you'll never want to play the game again... But read it anyway...
Ummm... I liked San Andreas though. The guy looked half decent and you got to steal trains.
Yes... good things...just read it, it won't put you off that much...
I need one more name for a guy assassin.
OHHH NEW PAGE!
I have to go. Talk to you guys later.
Going to get dressed, then I'm going out to my friends house, then coming home and doing a bit of hw...
good luck with HW
Alright then. But the whole (dot, dot, dot) thing seems pretty sketchy.
I like Snow Patrol.
guy assassin... ok...
well 4 guys:
Bolt Ignorance.
or if u r not going 4 taken names then: Ben McClennan, Samuel Andronicos, David Trace, Bailey Spowart, Billey Kray?
Hi Gemma. And goodnight. It's 5 in the morning and I haven't slept yet. *Sighs* I'm a fool.
Oooh... Before I go, how about Alucard Esawitch. Or just Alucard.
Anyways goodnight.
