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.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Helena Ember Sky said...

Yeah, agreed. But not about the hot Dalek-humanoid. He wasn't hot then.

Mistical Future said...

Mistical Future said...

... don't tell me u dissapered because i mentioned the land of the living!


Dam it!

Helena Ember Sky said...

I... didn't.

Jophiel said...

I dedicate this page to tigers!
Tigers are strong beautiful creatures that are estimated to only have 3,200 left in the wild now. They think that by 2022 (the next Chinese year of the tiger) all the precious animals will be extinct. I can not stand if that would happen! I would literally kill myself! Tigers are not as vicious as people think, they are sweet creatures that need understanding. People kill this animals for trophies and for ancient Chinese medicine.
I also dedicate this page to Eden Threatening, my teleporter BF!

Mistical Future said...

... ok i apparently i didn't refresh my page offten enough!

sorry every one mu mistake!!!

Jophiel said...

Mistical Future said...

Luciana said...

Night, Misty.

Jophiel said...

"Mum!" Death screamed. "What the hell are you doing?"
She looked up from her project, startled. "Hon, I... I needed it. You wouldn't even begin to imagine what life would be like without it. It is my baby, my daughter."
Death stared at the pearl necklace her mother held in her hands and roared.
"Dannielle-" She was interrupted by a ferocious snarl.
"Don't call me that! It's Death to you! Not Dannielle! Not some other stupid name! It is Death Rose! Like with my friends!"
Death's mum looked stoned. "I'm sorry lo-" she stopped. "Death, I need it." And with that, Death's mum walked out of her Her daughter's black walled, messy room.

Death slammed the back door as she stormed out into the cold dark night. The air felt heavy but Death walked on, in her black jeans and gray singlet. Her boots clinked as she changed terrain.
She passed house after house of happy families, all enjoying their happy little meals and watching their happy little television shows.
Death hated them; loathed them even. She hated how their hair was always neat and tidy, how their lawn was pretty and green. How the other children didn't get bashed by their mum's boyfriend. She felt a tear slide down her cheek. Weak, she td herself. Don't be so God damn weak!

She approached the abandoned prison where she hung out and howled. There were other howls around the corner. My loyal pack of goths, she bought and hurried around the old brick building.
Something was wrong. Something was very wrong indeed. The musty smell was replaced by the smell of something metallic. It was so strong that it made Death want to stop breathing in the cool night air.
Was that a howl?
Death's breathing sped up as she neared the corner. That was not the howl of a human goth... It sounded like a... Wolf. She peeked around the corner and screamed.
A huge grey muzzle was in her face. There black beady eyes stared at Death coldly as she struggled to breathe.
But that wasn't what made her scream.
The piles of dead bodies around a black wolf. All of her friends' clothes covered in blood. Everyone was there and Death was next; she could feel the intention radiating off it's massive chest.
It opened it's enormous mouth and Death was showed a fine range of teeth and a hot stench of rotting food was blasted in her face. She stared as the beast came nearer and nearer. She froze, unable to run away.

Pain lanced though Death's body and she screamed as the stars above her twinkled. Twinkling lights of millions of stars was her roof and she was happy it wasn't her ugly cream roof of her bedroom.
Death couldn't feel anything anymore and was happily lulled away by the sounds of her own flesh tearing apart.

Jophiel said...

Night Misty!

Jophiel said...

Im mad but that is nothing like my place! My mum and dad are happily married and he does not bash me!

Helena Ember Sky said...

Wow. That was... something.

Jophiel said...

Eve the ROCK said...

By the way, I loved your post about Kallista. She IS a beautiful person, but you are too. :)

Jophiel said...

Just popping in for a moment, is it sad that my whole family were in bed by 10:00pm?

Jophiel said...

And popping out again!

Luciana said...

Night, Death!

Thanks, Eve! I just wish she's believe that...And haha, thanks. (': You can't forget how amazing you are, though!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Anonymous said...

Hey guys! L., wh are you smelling your nails?

Luciana said...

I PAINTED MY NAILS WITH NERDS NAILVARNISH.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Nerds nail varnish?

Luciana said...

THE WATERMELON ONE IS MY FAVOURITE.

Jophiel said...

Knew it! I could feel you on Eden! I better with myself and I won so I get to comment!

Jophiel said...

Eden! *Sqeals and tackle hugs him to the ground* Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay.
*bewildered look*

Jophiel said...

*Betted

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay.

Jophiel said...

Eden? Are you oka- alright? You keep saying okay... *Looks concerned*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I'm coming up with new word to use.
So while my brain works hard to come up with new ones,
I have to use a small amount of time for what I actually say.

Jophiel said...

Okie dokie! So... How was mass?

Eve the ROCK said...

Nah, I'm merely spectacular. :P

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Oh it was fine.
It was because my old school had a new wing opening so me and my brothers went.
They had hot dogs, ice cream and we got to peg wet sponges at a teacher.

Jophiel said...

That sounds like fun! I'm envious! I am so tired but I don't want to leave!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Eve you were one of the main organisers of the requiem ball,
You are more than spectacular.

Jophiel said...

I agree with Eden! ... Yet again! *Takes Eden's hand and squeezes it gently*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* smiles*

Jophiel said...

*Grins back*

Jophiel said...

*Becaomes bored by the silence* *Pokes Eden*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* grins back*

Jophiel said...

Every time someone pokes me, I am reminded of the time you broke your finger! *Winks*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* pokes Death*

Jophiel said...

*Pokes Eden* *Grins evily* I'm gonna win this one too!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Really?
*pokes*

Jophiel said...

Yes!
*Pokes*
Nothing you do can make me stop! Nothing!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Really?
Not even this?
* kisses death on the cheek*

Jophiel said...

*Blushes*
Nope, not even that...
*Pokes*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*pokes*

Jophiel said...

Really
*Pokes*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*tickles*
Surrender or die by tickling.

Jophiel said...

Though it almost made me think twice...

Jophiel said...

I'll never surrender!
*Tries to hold in laughter*

Jophiel said...

Really...

Jophiel said...

Nah, scratch that. That was a lie

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* tickles*
Surrender!

Jophiel said...

*Laughs*
NEVER!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Really.
*grins *
*pokes *

Jophiel said...

Never shall I surrender to such an evil man!
*Laughs and pokes Eden's chest*

Luciana said...

I've talked to hardly any Aussies. :(

And I barely spoke to Joe this weekend. D:

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I'm not evil.
And you shall surrender.
*tickles and pokes*

Jophiel said...

I'm an aussie L!

Jophiel said...

You are evil and I shall never surrender! No matter what you do!
*Laughs really hard and pokes back*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Really?

Luciana said...

I know you are, Death.

Jophiel said...

Really! Under any onslaught, I will not give in!

Jophiel said...

Okay, just so we are all clear! Thanks Lu!

Jophiel said...

Given up Eden?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I didn't want to do this but.
*teleports in a tiger *
If you don't surrender the tiger gets it.
*holds it behind back*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

IT*

Jophiel said...

No! Not the tiger! *Thinks quickly*


Fine, I.... Give up...
*Slumps down on the fround*
Anything for a tiger...

Jophiel said...

You are evil Eden, you threatened a tiger's life... Well Threatening and threatened...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Okay.
I won't give the tiger IT.
IT being a gazelle leg and a leash.
* hands end of leash to Death*
Here's you very own tiger.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*smiles my all knowing smile*

Jophiel said...

What?! I am now so confused! Why am I holding a tiger leash?

Jophiel said...

*Shakes head*
That was so not cool!

Luciana said...

Lu?

Only SHE calls me Lu...

Hmm...

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Because its attached to your very own tiger.
*smiles*
Do whatever you want with it.

Jophiel said...

I was writing Luce and then when I went for the !'s I pressed the delete button... Stupid iPods!

Jophiel said...

Do whatever I want with it hey? *Grins mischievously and looks from Eden to the tiger over and over again*

Jophiel said...

Okay, now, I'm gonna let you go. I'm sorry Eden but the tiger population needs him. Look at my ded!

Uilliam Kinsella said...

I knew you'd do that.

Jophiel said...

*Lets the tiger go and it starts chasing Eden* *Laughs and grabs popcorn*

Jophiel said...

Really?

Luciana said...

Hmm...

Okay...

It's alright if you want to call me Lu...

I could probably do with something mote positive related to that nickname.

Jophiel said...

I will nam him though, I'll name him...



































Uilliam *Winks at Eden*

Jophiel said...

Lucy?

Uilliam Kinsella said...

Yep, I knew.
*teleports behind tiger and teleports him into the wild*

Uilliam Kinsella said...

*winks*

Jophiel said...

*Smiles at Eden*
Thanks!
*Gives Eden a big hug*

Luciana said...

You two are cute...

It's painful.

Uilliam Kinsella said...

* smiles *

Jophiel said...

*Steps away and blushes* *Pulls hair over face*
Why is it painful?

Luciana said...

Because love isn't as simple as you make it seem...

And I am useless with love. Everything always fucks up...

*shrugs* Oh well.

I'll probably grow out of it one day.

Jophiel said...

I know, love in real life if different. It is hard and confusing. My ex and I built our relationship over the Internet, when we met again, everything was different... He said that he was this but he was actually that...
Life sucks
