Just a short note to let you know that if you have any younger brothers or sisters and they like a fun, creepy little scare on the run-up to Halloween (and really, who doesn't?) then my suggestion is to check out Frankenkids, by Annie Graves.
Annie Graves may or may not have been helped out in the ideas department by a gent called David Maybury. The name sound familiar? I've developed a habit- especially in the short stories- of killing off the Maybury brothers in increasingly horrible ways, and the real-life David Maybury is now trying to get his own back. In Frankenkids, the poor boys who are the victims of the terrible Uncle Fraser are named Landy, and the older one is called Derek...
I'm not going to tell you what terrible fate befalls them. All I will say is that David Maybury better watch out. In the next short story, he's getting his head cut off.

«Oldest ‹Older 4401 – 4600 of 4901 Newer› Newest»I finally got my cane!
I don't get it
Oh, that's cool Thrust.
I don't know.. I'd prefer if you didn't use Ivy.
Hi Ana!
Ariana, does it look Solomon Wreath-y?
Yeah, it is mainly just the Thrust that brings my name's coolness down.
Ironic how that works out.
Val, alright, I won't. I'm using Kessie, but there is no magic...:( and she's kinda nice. And she has her family. But she looks the same and has her swords.
Random thought: How hilarious would it be if all the minions went to the same school?
Thrust, I think you're name is cool.
It would be hilarious. And when people visit they might mistake the school as an asylum. And lessons would be on Skulduggery and magic.
http://www.organizeit.com/images/hires/hr_0053walkingcane.jpg
It looks similar to this one. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a cane...
Val, that would be a-freakin'- mazing.
And Derek would be the principle - or, as we would call him, Master Derek.
I would love a school for minions.
Hehe, I could wear a stetson to school everyday...
Obviously. Laura would be Assisstant Principal...
That's gonna be AWESOME, Ariana... It'll be so funny to see everyone dressed up. Did you see the card I made for Derek?
And I would be the kid who always gets called to Master Derek's office for making too many Skulduggery references and lighting kids on fire.
I saw! It's HUGE!
Yeah, we'd all have to live in the same area, though...
Unless it was an online school.
I doubt any of you would like me better if you met me in real life, especially if you met me before you did online.
I would get sent to Master Derek's office on PURPOSE.
On the inside of the card, I wrote:
Happy birthday to you,
The Faceless Ones have come through!
But we won't let them take you,
So happy birthday to you!
No! What card!?
Ariana, it's on my Blog:
http://bringingskulduggerytothemasses.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-new-lizard-and-other-stuff.html
Kes, we'd ALL get sent there on purpose XD
Thrust, I go up to people and start talking in the Ancient Language(from Eragon) I doubt I would dislike you.
I think everybody would break a rule to get sent to the principal's office just to see Master Derek
*laughs* That's very creative of you.
How to identify Skulduggery fans in public:
Say "The Sparrow flies south for winter." and see who gets out of your way.
I will try that one day...
Or say be brave and see who tackles you or tries to stop you from doing anything.
Heh. True.
Or, you could shout, "I'M DARQUESSE! WHERE IS LORD VILE?" and see who sprints away or responds with something Skulduggeryish.
Or scream "DEATH BRINGER!" I did that and a girl with Death Bringer in her hand whirled around and stared like she was amazed I knew what it was...
Lord Vile kind of reminds me of Darth Vader.
Val, I am your doom.
Yeah, Val, but those are a bit obvious.
Except, Lord Vile is niche more awesome. The only reason why Vader is awesome is because he's in Star Wars, he wears black, and he has a lightsabre.
Me and my sister were watching Alice in Wonderland (the new one) and we were at a part with the Red Queens army of cards.
Me: Those kind of remind me of Cleavers.
Jaida: Yeah, a little bit.
*silence*
Jaida: But you know what they remind me of even more?
Me: What?
Jaida: Redhoods.
Typo! :( why is niche is there?
I went to this Halloween festival on Sunday. I was in my costume(Melancholia), and some lady behind us in line asked me if I was Melancholia. I nearly fainted. Because, really, how many Americans are there who would know that? But then it turned out that my mum had told her. :(
I meant much.
Hey, it's still cool that you were dressed as her, though.
Val, yeah. Definitely Redhoods. Have you read The Looking Glass Wars?
For Halloween, I'm going as Val during the Requiem Ball.
Yeah. I know I'm going to be a Skulduggery character, but I don't know which one I'll be.
No, I haven't read them...
And the costume actually has GLOWING EYES!
How did you pull off the glowing eyes?
My friend suggested tha book. It seems interesting.
Ooo, glowing eyes...
What should I do with my hair, for Wreath?
Ooo, glowing eyes...
What should I do with my hair, for Wreath?
I don't know... Maybe you could, like, put it in a bun and pretend no one will notice...
Val, they are like glasses and they curve under your eyes so you can still see, and they fade in and out. They came with the costume.
Are you going to wear your black coat?
That sounds really cool, Kes :D
A bun? Really?
Well, a bun is better than a ponytail.
Yeah, I can't decide which one though...
Wear that one that you usually wear to Amanda's. The one that has buttons and stuff on it.
Tie your hair back at the nape of your neck. Some men still do it.
Put it in a high bun and wear a hat over it.
When my cousin, who's going as Argeddion, gets to the party, my sister said I should block the door and start shouting, "You blocked me! You blocked me out of Valkyrie! So I'm blocking you, Argeddion! TAKE THAT!"
All of my coats have buttons... Are you talking about the one with the belt or without?
With the belt. I think.
Could you send me pictures of them?
Yeah, be back in a sec...
Yes, Val, you definitely should. With makeup that looks like blood on your face and everyone else lying on the floor pretending to be dead.
I really want to do that, but my cousin will be the first one there... :(
Curse him and his need to come early!
You think your parents would be willing to do it?
Maybe my mom and sisters (and possibly Amanda and Ariana) could.
Hmmm... Ariana, I think I like the one with the belt more.
Golden God, it would be brilliant.
My sister said she was in for it, on account of the fact that she thought of blocking him in the first place.
Well, that's good. I have to go, night!
Bye Kestrel! *waves frantically*
Bye-bye LeS!
*pokes Ariana's giant eyeball in her profile picture*
*profile picture eye stares at Derek-lizard* *Derek-lizard turns to dust*
I guess I'll wear the one with the belt then...
*shrieks*
NO! BRING MY LIZARD BACK!
*grabs a handful of salt and chucks it at Ariana's eye* *pours on some lemon juice*
*licks salt and lemon off eye* Yum :)
*drops Ariana in a boiling acid pit*
How sweet of you. Hey how are you supposed to pronounce Crux?
The way it's spelled.
While screaming and burning to death, decides to drink acid and spit it in Val's face.
*holds up arm, making the acid hit my awesome protective coat instead*
Ha.
*rips of coat and gives it to the hobo with the guitar and all the monkeys*
You know which one I'm talking about right?
*takes coat back from the hobo and the monkeys* *feeds Ariana to a rabid, Ariana-eating goose*
* on looks*
*makes a cozy home among goose-insides* Thrust, what are you doing in the Ariana-eating goose?
*takes all the SP books away from the Ariana-eating goose, making sure she has nothing to read in there*
*screams so loud Ariana-eating goose ruptures* *turns Val to dust with the sceptre of the ancients* *puts dust on pasta and feeds to homeless children*
I'm not in the Ariana-eating goose.
It doesnt really like Thrusts.
it prefers Arianas
*is poisonous so all the children die* *Ariana gets eaten by Cleavers for it*
Cleavers don't have teeth.
And Thrust, yes you were. I saw you. You were eating my imaginary friend. You said he tasted like sunshine dust.
I was eating myself...?
I don't remember that.
What do you mean you don't like sushi?
I mean the giraffe has twelve green spots.
I know right!
I've gotta got throw away precious memories now. See you guys later!
And Thrust no more eating imaginary friends, got it?
*go
Bye Ariana! *waves frantically and tosses a wild sea bear after her*
*Watches Ariana disappear under sea bear*
"Don't count on it."
*draws a circle in the dirt to keep the sea bears away*
good for you, Val circles are round.
:D
You are getting the Spongebob reference, right?
Nope :D
1st
now, I dedicate to this blog. Out of all the places on the internet I think this place is one of the most nice, terrifically connected places to chat with people you quickly become friends with, if not family.
I know this has been dedicated to before, but I have recently been intensely enlightened to the fact that not everyone is awesome like you guys. You people are smart, witty, hilarious, and a people I will never fail to love.
Go team!
Oh, and I also dedicate this page to the ampersand. I'm sorry you got kicked out of the alphabet, fella, but you are kinda hard to write.

*has just reread the last chapters of KOTW*
*shudders in terror whenever I can see a mirror*
RTyuio
Hi all!!!
... hello?
How are you?
Meh
Et u?
I'm good!
Coolio
so has anything interesting happened today?
Today?
Where do I begin?!
I suppose by saying no
yea it's bean a pretty regular day for me to!
Hi guys,
Don't be surprised if I disappear,
My bus could come any minute.
So how is everyone
Have you read my fan fic?
wait have you read KOTW first?
if you haven't don't read it till you have!
but here is the first part
http://mistical-future.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/sp-fanfic-other-dimention-part-01.html
Hi Eden!
I'm good!!!
How are u?
I'm fine thanks,
I don't think I've read your fanfic misti.
But I'll get around to it.
I've read KOTW.
Got it the first day it was out,
Got it signed too.
Ok cool!!!
I liked yours!!!
SO COOL!!!
yea i've got KOTW out to re-read!
It's TOTALLY FREAKING AWESOME!!!!
I was going to re-read it but I'm reading lies.
Y'know that page I didn't ded yesterday? I'm dedding it today, but it'll take a few comments. Bear with me. Oh, and I wrote it last night, but the Wi-Fi ws off so I'm posting it now . . . I'm not editting it, btw.
*ded starts* I just listened to "Enough" by Disturbed and I actually started crying. Not kidding. It just got me thinking, WHY? Why are humans like this? Why do we strive for more when we have enough already? What POSSESSES us to march accross the world killing people so we can have more? (Oh golden god, I'm crying again). WHY? Why do we send people off to die just so we can have more stuff? More land, more possessions, more pride? "Oh, I want silk clothes, can you ten thousand warriors go and kill yourselves so I can have them?" WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH COTTON??? Why do you have to kill people and put them in horrible situations just so you can boast about how big your stupid empire is????? Why do people have to lose jobs or get their jobs they like turned into jobs they hate just because YOU want power and YOU think you know best?
I guess I've gone off track here. This isn't a dedication, really, it's an emotional outburst. Was. I'm calm now, as you might be able to tell by my language. But I'm not gonna delete it, because hell, strong emotions matter.
I suppose what I'm dedding to is the hope that we get better. Let's face it, humankind have stuffed up pretty bad, on the whole. In TimeRiders, they say that humans aren't better than other animals, we're just more ruthless. We're a horrible species of animal. We kill for no reason, we kill for fun, we flippin' kill OURSELVES.
We have wars, we have the stupid politics, we have the whole power problem. Y'know, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." My dad was once telling me about communism, and I can't remember it all but it was something about getting rid of the rulers and then putting these other people in charge for a bit, or something. And my dad said that in theory, communism was a good idea, but it never worked because the people they put in charge of the country always became corrupted by the power, and we hadn't figured a way out of that.
My dad's awesome, y'know? He once managed to prove to me that the kids in Gone didn't need a leader, and he hadn't even read the books. (His proof was that I couldn't counter his arguement any more so, therefore, he had to be right). If you want me to, I'll happily talk about Gone and leaders for ages, but not now - I'm getting off track again. Where was I? Oh yeah, humankind. We suck. We're CRUEL. Other animals aren't like that. They kill to survive, and they kill because their instincts are telling them to. Us? We also kill for fun, and we kill because we want more.
Buddhists say that all suffering comes from craving, and if we stopped craving, we would stop suffering. I'm a Christian and staying that way, but the Buddhists really do look like they're onto something there. Human beings, we crave. We always want more. Y'know how goldfish are really stupid, and they don't know when to stop eating, and that if they're food around them they'll just eat until they kill themselves because they don't know any better? We're like that. We're stupid like goldfish. Only we're smart too, too smart. Instead of just killing one person when we take too much, we kill everything around us as well.
We've driven species to extinction. We're killing the planet and everything on it, including ourselves, with global warming. We're stupid like the goldfish, but we're smart too. (YES, I repeated. It's a literary device; don't diss). We're smart enough to know that our actions have consequences. We're smart enough to look at history and see where we stuffed up. We're smart enough to start religions like Buddhism and we're smart enough to write books like Gone and we're smart enough to make music like Disturbed. AND THEN WE DON'T FRIGGIN' LISTEN TO OURSELVES.
We look at the warnings, then ignore them. Look at me, I know about global warming and yet I'm STILL using up electricity on writing this out. *feels guilty* But have I stopped writing? Nope. I want to finish it, so I'm ignoring the fact I'm killing my planet and listining to my craving. We look at the warnings, then ignore them. Look at me, I know about global warming and yet I'm STILL using up electricity on writing this out. *feels guilty* But have I stopped writing? Nope. I want to finish it, so I'm ignoring the fact I'm killing my planet and listining to my craving. I know this, but I still think "whatever" and carry on regardless. I'm doing it now, because I can't bear not to finish this.
Wow.
A bit off the point but how did he convince you they didn't need a leader?
Gtg bus is here see ya later.
We're corrupt, we humans. We do good things, but we do so many bad things and we're killing ourselves. I know we deserve it, and it would be better for everyone if our race died, but the other animals don't deserve to die, and as corrupted as we are, I don't want the humans to die either. But we will, if we don't prevent it. If we humans don't hurry up and evolve into a better species, then I fear for this planet, really I do. I dedicate the page to that happening, then. :)
I also dedicate it to Disturbed, for being amazing, giving me something to ded to, and making me cry.
Works of art that make me cry also automatically make me hold the creator(s) of that work in very high esteem, so well done Disturbed, and well done to all you other people who've made me cry.
And I dedicate it to Zathract Darkshade, formerly know as Zathract Mist. I think I owe him an apoloy; I mean, I've know him since JANUARY and I didn't go and listen to any Disturbed until OCTOBER. I'm ashamed of myself. My only excuse is that I have no access to iTunes or anything, so I don't download songs at all. Yeah, not much of an excuse, is it? But since Saturday, I've been YouTubing Disturbed A LOT, because Zath was right, they're amazing. And because Zath lead me to them, he gets a third of the ded as well. And because I owe him an apology. So yeah.
THAT IS ALL.
...
um i-i don't know what to say about all of that ... other that your right!!!
although some people might axe-dentally kill in self self defense!
how i'm not entirely sure! but i is a possibility!
but other than that we kill each other for no reason but to see who is more superior!
Because I couldn't prove that they needed one. *laughs* FOURS EDEN!
Bye Eden have a good day!
Who that knocken' at mai door?
I put pity in you fool!
so has anything exiting happened today Ink?

The person knocking at the window is Skulduggery and the person knocking at the door is a person with no imagination!
