Lots and Lots of Photos

Okay then, as promised, documented evidence that show you Minions are an incredibly creative bunch...

Here is the first batch of stuff I was given while on the KOTW tour.


I've started to only pack half a bag every time I go away, because the amount of things I'm given while signing is just astronomical. What usually happens is that my publicist takes anything I can't fit onto the plane and sends it on to me afterwards. Well, the final package has arrived, so here I am to give you a brief pictorial rundown.


A skull! Signed by "le gang"! And a picture from the irrepressible one, Becky...


I don't have room to put up all of the artwork I was handed, but here are some pieces that stood out...







And I was also given books! One Minion had illustrated my biography blurbs- wonderfully unique idea! And in Liverpool I was handed Project Baguette, a collection of letters and notes and drawings and all kinds of coolness.



And elsewhere in the UK I was given a box! A wonderful little box!


But what's INSIDE the wonderful little box? Is it, perhaps, a set of wonderfully TINY Skulduggery books? It is!


The pic below is so cool. For those of you who can't spot the similarity, this is Super Derek, sitting on a stack of books, reading one with, er, his tongue hanging out of his mouth...

Quite simply one of the CUTEST things I've ever been given.



I've shown this one before, but I figured I'd do it again, and add in another two Skulduggerys (one from this tour, another from... three years ago, maybe...?)



And this! This Raggy Skulduggery that SHE WOULDN'T LET ME KEEP!


Because of the unfortunate lack of Skulduggery merchandise, many of you have had to improvise. Some of you, ahem, have improvised better than others...





Ah, the Tall Bonde! One of my favourites! You've seen her picture here before (I doubt you've forgotten it) but here is a picture of the BACK of Sabrina Sparrow's T-shirt...


And this is Sabrina's partner-in-crime Becky, giving a suitably deadpan freedom sign...



Naturally, Sabrina and Becky came with their banner- much like they did the LAST time they turned up...

(Present)

(Past)

And here's a picture of Mable and Sherlock totally agreeing with the message in my kitchen...


As I was shifting these pictures from my phone, I came across a few I'd taken in Germany a few years ago...



See that? Stylish AND practical!

And to finish it off, here's a picture of my cousin Michael, who came to one of the events in Australia and looked, it has to be said, AWESOME.


Once again, thanks to everyone who came along, and an extra special thanks to those of you who did something extra special.

Master Derek, you may use my name when ever you want for whatever you want!

In a fight.

The Tiger. Easily.

Eden threatening is available too for half price, maybe even free.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Oh come now Kes.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

It's just an animal and I'm a smart human.
All I need is a weapon and I'd easily beat it.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I give you permission to do whatever your heart desires with Zaf. If you need to know her object is a black necklace shaped like a skull.

And Kes has a vendetta against Skulduggery. Cause he left China(her mentor) for dead at the end of DB.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Derek can Eden either be a mercenary or a sanctuary operative?
* holds on as the tiger bucks*

Anonymous said...

*poofs*

Jophiel said...

*Gets up and looks at torn clothes* *Frowns*

And Kes, it used 'versed', one of the girls in my class hits people who says verses becuase it is not a word

Jophiel said...

Master Derek can use me as anyone he wants! I can be an evil guy or a very nice good guy! All I want is my name mentioned!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Eye haw
* still holds on *
Can someone throw me a lucozade?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yee*

Jophiel said...

*Throws Eden the sports drink*

Jophiel said...

*Changes clothes behind a bush*

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Hey i only mentioned my object because im a Necromancer and if he does mention me or has me fighting at least its known what my object is,

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* catches it *

Did you like the trip to India.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Eeers i gtg bed i thinks i may be back if not

NIGHT BLOGLANDIANS!!!!

Jophiel said...

Yes, it was... Interesting... I rode an elephant, got attacked by a tiger and got hit in the head...

Jophiel said...

Good night Zaf!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

See I told you it would be fun.
And I only ask for one thing in return.

Jophiel said...

And that is...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

This
* leans in and kisses Death on the cheek*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* smiles*

Jophiel said...

*Blushes* *Giggles and looks down*

NOM Ominous said...

*shifts weight.*
standing is hard sometimes.

Jophiel said...

*Stands on tip toes and kisses Eden gently*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* blushes *
You wouldn't have to do that in real life because I think your taller than me .
* grins*

Jophiel said...

Well, you wouldn't have to lean down either
*Laughs and grins*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* grins and laughs*

Jophiel said...

*Laughs again*

Jophiel said...

You remind me of a poem I can't remember, a song that might never have existed and a place I've never been...

Jophiel said...

*Punches Eden lightly on the arm* Are we in France or the hotel room?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* smiles *

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I don't know which would you prefer?

Jophiel said...

Which ever you want!
*Grins*

Jophiel said...

Eden? You still there?

Jophiel said...

*Pouts*
He must've fallen asleep, I don't blame him, it is 4:52am there

Jophiel said...

I'm going to eat lunch, bbs

Jophiel said...

I happen to be eating a ham and cream cheese sandwich now

Jophiel said...

I have to take my meds, be back momentarily!

Jophiel said...

HAS SILENCE FALLEN YET AGAIN?

Jophiel said...

It been an hour and four minutes since I've spoke to Eden!

NOM Ominous said...

I'm not eating food. I'm typing

NOM Ominous said...

Now I'm only leaving...

Jophiel said...

Okay, I'm probably going to get these tiger wounds looked at! *Shimmers off to Dr. Nye's office*
So the verdict is...?
It is quite confusing actually, that tiger wasn't a tiger to begin with, he was a human.
What? You are reminding me of werewolves!
Yes, exactly! Well good enough example anyway. That tiger had a toxin in his saliva that turns others into beasts like them...
So what you're saying is that I am a weretiger?
Yes, if you would allow me to study-
No, it is fine, thanks! I've got to go back to Blogland now, bye! *Leaves money on table and shimmers away*

Jophiel said...

Bye Thrust!

Jophiel said...

Is anyone here? Derek?

Jophiel said...

Don't you just love it when your are in a serious situation, you ask an important question and the other persons laughs, hen says the opposite of what you want them to say?

Sparky Braginski said...

Sparky Braginski said...

The band isn't cute, which I like.

They're just awesome.

Sparky Braginski said...

Jophiel said...

Sorry, I poofed! And I can't look at it yet, sorry! I'll be distant, I'm doing homework

Sparky Braginski said...

Star Inkbright said...

Mistical Future said...

Hi Lucky!

Mistical Future said...

I'm good!

Luciana said...

I'm tired. Still. So, msd. I keep falling asleep and then waking up at random intervals. :s

And I'm not even going to mention the pain.

But I'm really happy about my Mockingjay t-shirt!

Star Inkbright said...

Lucky? *raises eyebrow* Sequintial is a puppy from 101 Dalmations?

. . . I used to be obsessed with 101 Dalmations . . .

Jophiel said...

L! I'm so envious about the shirt! I'm in a lot of pain too and I think I've fallen asleep... Eleven times?

Star Inkbright said...

THERE ARE SUCH THINGS AS MOCKINGJAY T-SHIRTS? O_O

Jophiel said...

I know how you feel!

Star Inkbright said...

:'(

Hope you both get better soon.

Mistical Future said...

Cool! Good job with geting that Lucky!

Jophiel said...

Thanks Ink! My throat is on fire! Water doesn't put it out! *Laughs*
Death's throat is on fire, how strange does that sound?

Mistical Future said...

Yes i hope u both get better to!

Luciana said...

It's a Mockingjay on fire.

It's sexy.

And wins.

It also makes me look even thinner than normal. :P

But, yeah. I have a Mockingjay t-shirt. Might post a picture of it on my blog later. c:

Or I'll wait until my birthday because I'll have even more HG related things.

I should be able to make more SP related things in October. c:

Jophiel said...

Thanks Misty! Oh, I seem to be a weretiger! Yeah, I know, if you want details, look on the other page, towards the bottom... *Laughs*

Mistical Future said...

LOL that reminds me of the "Ghost Rider"
but he is littarly on fire so that is a bit different!
but still cool!

Lynxia Lost said...

Morning Blogland.

Jophiel said...

*Lightly glares at L*
I might storm your place tonight... You just need to tell me where you live... (Wink wink nudge nudge)

Luciana said...

LYNXIA! *tacklehugs*

Jophiel said...

Hi... Lynxia...

Mistical Future said...

Hi Lost

Lynxia Lost said...

*falls to floor* What's with the tackle-hugging??

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm tired at the moment, Mystical, you?

Jophiel said...

A question I ask myself all the time Lynxia...

Mistical Future said...

i'm good!

Luciana said...

Not heard from you in a couple of days.

I missed you. :P

I've lost track of my e-mails, you see. Too many.

Jophiel said...

And I am day snoring! Well, evening snoring!

Lynxia Lost said...

Fair enough Luce. I can imagine.

Jophiel said...

I'm not evening snoring anymore...

Lynxia Lost said...

That's good, Death.

Star Inkbright said...

HI LYNXIA!

Sorry, I poofed. :/

Jophiel said...

Omg, World's Dumbest is the best! *Hugs Leif Garret*

Luciana said...

I literally just realised Star's name change. :P

Jophiel said...

Wow, I didn't even notice!

Lynxia Lost said...

Star's named changed?

Luciana said...

If I fail to make sense, it's because I'm tired and ill.

And it isn't fun...

It's rather irritating.

Jophiel said...

Believe me, I know what your talking about!

Star Inkbright said...

Sorry. I just like this name in this form. I did keep up the rrrrrrrrrs for a few day, but I missed the (Ink!)

Luciana said...

*laughs* I like this one better, Star! (':

Mainly because Derek calls you Ink!

Lynxia Lost said...

Hey Zath.

Luciana said...

Zath! C:

Jophiel said...

Hey Zath! What happened to Mist? It is confusing!

Will be distant

Zathract Mist said...

Hi guys.

Zathract Mist said...

I changed my last name, Death. Which you would know if you read my blog.

But I missed my old picture, so I kept it.

Lynxia Lost said...

I'm going swimming now, bye guys.

Zathract Mist said...

Bye, Lynxia.

Luciana said...

I prefer this picture.

And, I prefer Mist, but it is your choice. :3

I DIDN'T GET THE US EDITIONS OF SP YESTERDAY SO MY GRANDPARENTS PROMISED TO BUY ME ALL THE US EDITIONS ONLINE. C':

Luciana said...

Bye, Lynx! *hugs*

Zathract Mist said...

I might change back to Mist. Dunno yet.

Star Inkbright said...

FOURS LYNXIA!

I prefer this picture, Zath. Mist is awesome, but then so is Darkshade, so . . .

Zathract Mist said...

I like this picture better too.

It's more...

...

It's blue.

Luciana said...

And blue is an awesome colour! C:

Blue and green are my favourite colours. I think.

Green has always been one of my favourite colours.

At one point it was pink. Then purple. Then black. But then I realised black isn't a colour so it's back to green and now with blue. xD

Mistical Future said...

Sorry everyone i got lost in my Fanfic

Hi Zath
how are u?

Star Inkbright said...

I love blue. All my profile pictures have to be blue. Or usually I don't like them.

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello?

Jophiel said...

Oh, that's why! Well I am related (somehow) to Murder Rose... *Shudders* All hail the evil older cousin of mine! Otherwise she will cut out your hear and show it to you before you die! I've seen it done! *Shudders again*

Zathract Mist said...

Hello, Future.

I'm bleh/meh/dunno-how-to-fell/alright-ish-maybe/kinda.

Yourself?

Zathract Mist said...

Hi Sparky!

Jophiel said...

My fav colour is black and red!

Jophiel said...

Hey Sparky!

Jophiel said...

msd

Sparky Braginski said...

Hello Zath.

*collapses*

So much drama.

*waves at face*

I'm gonna cry...

Sparky Braginski said...

Hi... Death...

Luciana said...

Hello...Sparky...

I WANT AN ICY BLUE PROM DRESS. XD

Sparky Braginski said...

Oh.

Lu.

I need to ask.

That e-mail you sent me.

Did you see my reply?

Zathract Mist said...

I got a Suicide Silence album yesterday!

So happy.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Sparkerifics!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hey guys, I fell asleep a while ago.

Jophiel said...

Food time! BBS!

Zathract Mist said...

Hey Eden...

Luciana said...

I read every e-mail I receive. So, yes, of course I saw your reply.

Jophiel said...

Eden, stay on! I'll eat quicker

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I fell asleep
* blushes*

Sparky Braginski said...

Okey dokey then!

*holds up 'OK' sign with fingers and then let's it drop, with little dizzy swirls floating above my head*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay.

Mistical Future said...

Hi Eden
how are u?
*shakes hand* i don't think we've met!
Hi



and i'm good thanks for asking Zath

Hi Sparky!
How are u?

Star Inkbright said...

Hi Eden!

Luciana said...

Sorry if I'm distant...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hello mystical.
I think we've met,
If not nice to meet you.
*shakes hand*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Hi star.

Luciana said...

Morning, Eden.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Morning Luce,
How are you?

Luciana said...

Still tired. Still ill. Still lacking emotion. So, I'm okay, I guess. You?

Mistical Future said...

well if we had my bad sorry if i forgot u! ... i am kinda bad with names!

oh well Hi anyway!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Well I don't know how I could compete with that ,
Since I'm only tired and a little annoyed because my Dad went on a call so my Mom has to come down and mind us.
And he promised he wouldn't go on calls when we were with him because he used to do it at like 2 am and my little brothers would wake up and realise he was gone.

Mistical Future said...

gtg i've got to have a bath i'll be back latter hopefully!

see u all!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yeah hi anyway, mystical.
* smiles*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Goodbye mystical.
I hope you remember me the next time we meet.
* grins*

Jophiel said...

I'm still eating, just saying I'm almost done!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay.
* note to self think of different word*

Jophiel said...

Kay, I'm back!

Luciana said...

This weekend is going too quickly.

Tomorrow I shan't be here.

Which annoys me.

But I know it's for the better.

I'll probably stay for a while in October break and then return for good November 14th, but...

Gah. I hate life, sometimes. It's so goddamn complicated.
