Christmas is coming...
My Christmas tree is up, the Nightmare Before Christmas decorations hang happily beside the boys from South Park, there are presents... Every time you turn on the MTV Christmas channel you're treated to "All I Want For Christmas" by Mariah Carey...
Soon it will be time for "Love Actually" to appear on TV. I do love "Love Actually", actually.
And to help you, my Minions, prepare for this holiday season, we at Skulduggery Towers have made for you a Christmas card that you can send out into the digital world. Because we're nice like that.

«Oldest ‹Older 1801 – 2000 of 4919 Newer› Newest»I don't think anyone actually understands what's happening. At least not all of it.
Blogland. Is that what you call this place?
Hello Blake, nice to meet you. I mean why do most people write in parentheses and are you role playing and is it in the Skulduggery Pleasant world? Those sort of questions.
(Yes we call this Blogland, home of the awesome and the imperfectly perfect!)
(Yes we are role playing, yes it's in the skulduggery world, I speak in parentheses cause it's me da author speaking not the character)
Sounds nice!
I have to go in about 3 minutes but I may be back, depends on if I have work to do next period.
Oh ok, thanks Silente.
Tempest and Audra. Both storms. Hmm.
(It is!
Most of the time!
Just dont get emotionally attached to characters in the roleplay! You'll cry..)
And with that I'm gone.
Goodbye
(Ohhh is audra a storm? Huh..
We will either get along well..
OR BE SWORN ENEMIES!)
(Audra thank you, you've just reminded me! *runs up to Audra and gives her a huge hug* ITS MY ONE MONTH BLOGVERSARY! *starts partying and throwing handfuls of cake in the air* *runs up to everyone currently on, handing them cupcakes with my face on* But enough about me! *goes up to Audra last* Welcome to Blogland, I am Velvet (Velv/Vel) Shadows, obsessed with Skulduggery Pleasant, Sherlock BBC and CAKE! *curtseys* Lovely to meet you! *gives Audra an huge cake with streamers, sparklers and my face on it*)
Velvet: Yeah, well my parents died when I was five, I had to look after my two year old sister when we were fostered but beaten, then we went to an orphanage where we were bullied... No... Didn't really have time... *grins* But you don't want to hear my life story! Do you want to go do something?
(Storm Dream? Hmm..)
(And she's gone... Damn! *runs after her* Take the cake! *chucks the cake through the door*)
Ashlea: Oh..I'm sorry about your parents...at least you didn't kill them...and you grandparents..and the rest of your family...and anyone who helped you...
*frowns* I never remember any other family... Anyway! Want to grab a snack or a drink somewhere?
Ashlea: sure! Although..I should wait in case Leri..comes..
(I am back. I presume, Silente, that you would like Dragona to come on?)
Bethany: No one can take me out of this realm... It's only if I try to leave.
Storm Dream :)
(@Soph nah. I don't mind. *cuddles* Ashlea is fine. Email is keeping her happy.)
And what if they try make you leave? Trick you into leaving..
(Storm Dream is an interesting name.)
(*cuddles her back* It is not like I will be leaving if he comes on. I believe it is possible for both of us to be here simultaneously.)
Bethany: I'm not stupid.
(yeah but it means you comment slower. Plus velv seems to have disappeared.)
Says the dead girl!
-winces-
Sorry..
Bethany: It's... fine. I just don't understand...
-rests her forehead against Beth's-
Beth I love you, I do, but.. I can't commit like that..
Bethany: But why?
I like the way they sound together and what it translates to
(So do I. It's a good name :)
I..just..can't Beth..
Bethany: Okay...
I'm sorry..
It's safe here, for now
Bethany: It's fine... I just... *sighs* It doesn't matter...
Thanks, I like yours too.
I was going to use tempest but then I saw you used it and it works better in your name :)
Hello Adra, are you doing ok?
(Hello Adra. -hugs, if she wants a hug-
@Aurdra oh sorry!)
No..it does matter.
No, I like yours better! It's an awesome name!
(Hello, Adrasdos.)
Bethany: I thought that we meant enough for a commitment...
(Thanks! I rather like it myself..yours flows better though!).
We do...I-I just..I'm not good at commitment..
I'm no different than I usually am, but I'll spare the blog from my poetry today.
Your poetry is beautiful Noelle, I enjoyed reading it.
(If the poetry makes you feel better don't hesitate to post it Noelle.)
Bethany: Please could you try it?
Beth..I...
-sighs and rubs her temples slightly-
If..you want me too..
Bethany: You could always get it reversed again? I... Just want you to try?
..right.
Hey Adra. :)
*hugs*
What Sil said - if the poetry makes you feel better, feel free to post. :) And if it doesn't, feel free to not. :)
*Noelle
*Candle
I'm all out, hell. :S Sorry - I slip up on names really badly, it's nothing personal. :P I still look at my friend sometimes and receit about three names before getting the correct one. XD
*I can still look at one of my friends
Hello Star
Hello, Audra. :)
(Plus, your poetry is really good..)
I'll try..again...
Hello.
Noelle, please.
I don't want confusion
SORRY
GTG AGAIN
:/
Hi Rhos.
(Hello, Star.
Hello, Garrett.)
Bethany: *hugs Silente* Thank you...
(I will be back soon.)
Noelle. Okay. :)
*hugs*
That should be easy; your name's it. :)
Oh ok, goodbye Star
If you're leaving?
(Bye Star.
Hello Rhos.
Okay Soph.)
*hugs her back*
I'm..doing this for you..
Hello Audra, are you new?
Hello Soph *nods in your direction*
(I like the name Noelle..)
(Hello Jai *hugs* (I just really need to hug someone... So I chose you (totally honest here) )
(*hugs Rhos back* its okay. I'm sorry you're having such a bad night.)
It should be easy. I just don't want someone to get Adra and Audra confused.
Noelle is my birth name, so..
(I like your name Noelle, it's a pretty name. I vaguely remember you saying something about you not liking it..)
(-hugs ..., if they wish to be hugged-)
Hello Noelle.
Tis okay Jai, there isn't anything I can do about it so I'm just going to get on with shiz and keep going *nods* because there's no point in trying to fix something you can't fix. (and you don't mind me using your author name right? )
(My Chemical Romance are amazing.
And that is one of their best songs.
I'm fine with you using my author name Rhos, if anything I prefer it.)
Right. Well.
This is weird.
Okay Jai *nods* (lol that rhymes...... Yeah my randomness is at work again....... )
*huggles .... Tightly* because it needs to be done!)
(@Noelle sorry. I'm not the best at making conversation..
*rolls eyes* Yey! Random Rhos is back.)
Hey! My randomness is a virtue (or it was a virtue but now I don't know.... But anyway enough moaning from me!) *flicks Jai's nose*
(-frowns- that's my nose.. -attempts to flick his nose back-
-flicks his eye-)
Ow *holds eye in pain* cheers bub...
Good morning, afternoon, evening, or other time of day, Blogland.
(-smirks- you're welcome Rhos.
Hello dear Sir. How would one and ones author be?)
Hey Sir *hugs* how be you and your author?
Jai *smacks your foot with a wooden mallet* merry Christmas *grins*
Greetings, Ms. Tempest, Ms. G, and Ms. Noelle and Ms. Traum, if the two of you are still here.
As well as can be expected to be, thank you very much.
(AHH! *hops around clutching her foot* gee thanks!)
Hi, Sir.
...
That's good Sir (slight problem though, I'm a bloke *nods* )
(Chloe if you're still here you don't need to say sorry and earlier when you did say it I was really pissed off at family and my life at home so that's why I said nothing so can we just thrash this out tomorrow? Because we're both pissed off, (you're pissed of at me I can tell so there's no need to deny it) so if we talk about it tomorrow we can come at the problem with fresh minds (hopefully.....) )
No probs Jai *grins*
(I am back.)
Bethany: I know... Thank you so much...
And my anxiety goes through the roof
id rather nt thrash it out tomoz cos im going into Cardiff with my parents
(Welcome back.
I've no idea who you're talking to ... ?)
-sighs-
You're welcome
(Ohhh...)
Phaestra: *appears in a flash of light which solidifies into her form*
I know you sent me an email apologising but you didn't need to because you haven't done anything wrong! You had a good reason to disappear and not reply and I'm fine with it because I care for you even if I looks like I don't! And I'm sorry for not replying to it but at that time I was in the right mood to swing for someone, and i didn't want to let my anger leak out you see? We've both had a shit day so there's no need for us to make it worse.....
So lets just stop for tonight and come back to it tomorrow?
Who are they talking to, Silente?
Because my Anxiety tells me that it's me, and it's scaring me
fine
night
(Its okay Noelle she's talking to Rhos, not you. No one's angry at you :)
-flinches slightly-
And okay so lets just sort it out another day... Whens best for you?)
its not you Noelle
im going now
so just forget my existence
whenever you feel ready to talk to me
Bethany: I... We want you to try and merge our souls again...
no need
cos im going now and im drinking so I feel totally numb
Oh... Okay.
...my dad's an alcoholic.
This is making me uncomfortable
Goodbye
I return. :)
@Noelle: *nods :/* Fair enough.
(Its okay Noelle.)
-flinches again slightly at the words and presses against Beth-
Sorry i disappeared, I'm back now.
Rhos don't you dare kill yourself.
I mean it. You're not a waste of space and you shouldn't hate yourself
don't say that...
what have I done
Bethany: *presses back against Silente*
Phaestra: *her hand flashes white and Silente and Bethany begin to feel an influx of each other's thoughts*
I still love you
I thought you were mad at me
so I drank and listened to suicidal songs
I thought you left me...
*hugs Chloe tightly*
You're amazing.
(Rhos, Chloe, please, both of you TALK now..and calm down Rhos..)
-winces and panics slightly, clinging to Beth-
(*huggles Audra* hello, we haven't met have we?
im sorry, im not usually like this
im normally the one doing the cheering up...)
Rhos please don't...ive made you feel this way
No you won't Rhos. You won't be doing anyone, especially yourself a favor.
*huggles Chloe back*
No, but I've read comments. I've seen how amazing you and Rhos are.
Bethany: *hugs her tightly* It's okay...
(thanks Aud, you are a great person
and Rhos, I apologise...I thought I was helping you, but I wasn't)
Look, guys.
Like Sil says, talk.
You're both awesome human beings, and you know, really, that you are worth something. If you really wanted to kill yourself, if you really really really wanted to, you'd be doing it as opposed to telling us, because you know if you tell us, we'll try and stop you. So the fact you're telling us, Gar, emans that you don't really want to die. Don't die. If you die, you will never get a shot at life again. Over, got, kaput. Whereas if you stay here, there is every chance that life will get better, particularly if this is a bad time for you - if this feels bad to you, it's because it's bad in comparison to the rest of your life, yes? Because it's BELOW AVERAGE. And that means, life is like this AT LEAST less than half the time, which makes it more than a 50/50 chance that things will get better.
Yes?
-nods, burying her head in Beth's shoulder, slowly calming down-
I'm going to pop in for one last comment and say that I don't think this is really appropriate, and you two should be better off settling this private matter... Well, in private. Not on a public forum.
It's making me uncomfortable... I don't like all the talk of alcohol.
It takes me back to my past.
That's all.
Bye
*or that you want to die, and that scares you/you want to be talked out of it/other, which means it isn't a full 100% desire to die. Wanting to die enough that you have to talk about it is still bad, though, still horribly bad and you should always tell us. :)
I'm sorry, Noelle. :/
*hugs*
Bye . . .
(*hugs Rhos tightly* don't you dare call yourself that...I should have replied to you...in any case...you're still the only one able to reduce me to tears
remember that long txt you sent me about me being your primum mobile? just for that txt proves you are a bloody brilliant person
and If you die then im coming with you
I got to go. Goodbye.
sorry Noelle...I think im turning into an alcoholic...;.
Byii Aud! see you next time
(There is a brass band outside playing Christmas songs..)
awesome Sil
I feel it deep within,
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
Says it all ^
Bethany: It's okay... *cuddles up to her*
funnily enough that's one song I was listening to earlier
please Rhos...be okay again
*cuddles her back, opening the eyes that she had screwed shut, looking scared but offering a shakey smile*
And Star you are right I don't want to die I'm all mouth no trousers!
But when I get like I am all kinds of shit spills from my mouth and on that note I'm leaving for tonight before I say something I'm going to regret.....
email Rhos
Look, folks, I know everyone's like "Ooh, dying for someone you love, that's so romantic", but actually, no, not a good idea. Number one, suicide = bad idea, full stop. Number two, do you think that the other person would want you dead? Number three, I don't believe in The One. Most humans aren't even naturally monoamorous. If someone breaks up with you, yes, it is bad, but it is NOT A REASON TO KILL YOURSELF. You WILL GET OVER IT. Most things people will get over in time, and even if you won't ever really get over something because it's really bad, like the person you're going out with dying, you can usually get past it after a while. Number four, what exactly are you trying to achieve? If you feel like a waste of space and like you accomplish nothing in life . . . presumably you don't want to make the situation worse? Because that's what you'll be doing, if you kill yourself. You have people who love you and care about you, and if you kill yourself, you won't be doing them a favour. You'll be permanently scarring them.
It's okay, Rhos. :) *hugs* I hope you feel better after you've gone to sleep (which you maybe won't do NOW, but soonishish) and wake up tomorrow. :)
Also, I called you Rhos. Ooh, that's new. :P Sorry, must be rubbing off on me.
Bethany: I know it's scary... But I can be with you now wherever you are...
or txt actually
*nods*
Right..y-yeah..
(Thank you, Star, for making sense.)
Bethany: Are you alright?
Just..scared.
Also, if you don't really want to kill yourself, would you mind refraining from saying you do?
There was someone on AVEN the other day on a thread on the topic of people saying they're depressed when they're not, and this person was saying how they had depression and when it gets really bad, they can't even move, they can't even function. It's not like "oh, I feel a bit sad", it's a serious mental disorder. And this person couldn't go in to work for a few days because their depression was so bad (like, they couldn't move), and when they went in and said they hadn't been in due to their depression, their boss said everyone got depressed and it wasn't a real excuse.
This wasn't the only example I could have given, but it's my best one. Because people say "oh, I'm so depressed" because they haven't got the Christmas present they wanted or whatever, because someone breaks up with them and they say they're going to commit suicide when they're not, people who really struggle with very serious mental illnesses are being overlooked and told to just deal with it beacuse 'everyone else is', and people don't understand that people who have depression and similar things aren't just sad occasionally, it's much more serious than that, and it is not something you can just 'get over'. And like . . . life is hard enough for these people without everyone making it worse.
So please. Be considerate. :) If you didn't think, that's okay, I'm just putting thes ethoughts in your head so next time, you can think them. :) And if you overreacted to what you were feeling, that is also okay. I am a bit of a hypochondriac sometimes, and so I know how overracting is. But if you know you're not seriously going to cmmit suicide, please help make the difficult lives of some people easier by not saying you are.
Star its okay to use my proper name..... And I'll have a look now Chloe and everyone on this blog I'm sorry for the crap I spouted it wasn't right and I'm a ashamed of myself for saying it....
Bethany: There's no reason to be scared... It's alright. *smiles* I promise.
I DECIDED TO TXT YOU INSTEAD OF EMAIL
- nods and tries for a smile-
Bethany: I'll be with you, always. *smiles again*
-smiles a bit more-
That's good.
I've read the text Chloe and I'm in pieces, I'm just not sure how to reply to the text, because I don't think I can justify how I feel, so lets try here and I'll reply to the text, in a moment
CHLOE I LOVES YOU
CHLOE I LOVES YOU
CHLOE I LOVES YOU
CHLOE I LOVES YOU
CHLOE I LOVES YOU
CHLOE I LOVES YOU
(that x 100 )
I feel the same Rhossie *huggles tightly*
Bethany: So you don't have to choose between me and your friends.
*huggles tightly* there's a text for you *smiles* and I'm sorry for all this crap....
don't be...I should have replied straight away in the first place,,,
It was never a choice..
Bethany: *cuddles up to her* But you can be with both of us at the same time, now.
It's fine, Rhos. :) *hugs*
It's okay. :)
(Sorry for poofing, mum was out and dad came home early and we did the tree!)

*smiles and hugs self, nuzzling the air*)
(*adds Sil into the hug* group hug!)
(*hugs da trio*)
Bethany: So surely it is better for you?
(I will be back soon.)
(*brings Sil into the group hug and looks up at Inky and Gar* You too happy again...? Remember, was it yesterday the anniversary for the day you two started emailing?)
(Okay Soph..)

*hugs Chloe Jai and Vel*
I am better now thank you Vel and yesterday Chloe and me first met (blog wise) its tomorrow that we started swapping emails
And Chloe tomorrow is our 6 week anniversary *smiles*
(Yay! *pulls streamers and party poppers and rummages in my pocket* *whistles nonchalantly and hangs mistletoe over Inky and Gar, stepping back and dragging Sil out*)
(*steps away from the mistletoe, quickly*)
(I realise sweetie

*smiles* thank you Vel *looks up at the mistletoe*
