Something about how Skulduggery avoids the consequences of his actions. How he keeps on receiving divine punishment to such a degree that he’s convinced himself that it’s atonement for his crimes rather than just gods being cruel.

When he’s in the realm of the Faceless Ones, he’s so utterly convinced himself that he deserves it that he’s actually angry that Valkyrie would come and save him and force him to return to the “real” world where he has to live with all that he’s done. How she was the only person who was set on saving him while everyone else was willing to accept his loss.

In Death Bringer, he goes to fight Melancholia instead of Valkyrie because he’s decided in his head that fighting and dying to the Death Bringer in order to protect the girl he lied to made up for his deceitfulness and for all the damage he caused as Vile. Because it’s punishment. It’s what he deserves. And the only reason he doesn’t die right then and there is because Valkyrie saves him.

There are surely more examples of things like this happening to him as well, but I’m too tired to remember them right now.

I’ve talked a bit about this before, but Skulduggery HATES taking responsibility for his actions, and considering that he’s a very agnostic character, it’s interesting to see him repeatedly view punishment as something he deserves and would rather do instead of, say, admitting that what he did was wrong and accepting punishment from mortals for it.

There’s also something to be said about how it’s always Valkyrie’s responsibility to save him, even though she’s the person who causes him so much guilt. He’s not a good person, he doesn’t care if he hurts someone unless that someone meant something to him. And she means the goddamn world to him. And he spends a long time denying it, but I honestly think he’s often horrified by how much he hurts her without realizing it (think of his reaction in the scene in TFO where she only cries from her broken tooth when Kenspeckle shows concern over her) and he uses the divine torture he receives very often from protecting her as a way to sort of morally make up for it, even if it benefits neither of them.

It’s also interesting because she keeps turning into a god, and yet said god always shows no interest in hurting him because of what he did to her (yes Darquesse wanted to kill him, but that was less anger and more unhealthy obsession), even though she SHOULD feel angry.

I’ve probably said this a million times now but I think the religious aspect of their dynamic is extremely interesting and something that I have a difficult time putting into words, so I might continue trying to explain it over time. Do have patience with me, please

Once again yearning for a community

Trying to organize my ao3 with my steroid scrambled brain and blurry eyes was NOT a good idea. Now I wanna eat and nap like an useless baby again.

I even did whiny sounds while curling up. So embarrassing. Today was my last steroid so I hope this shit diminishes fast from now on.

I want my eyes to stop pulsing, I want no brain fog (these stupid pills were the only ones with that side effect so I know it was these steroid bitches again.) I want no under chin swelling that chokes me.

Blah, blah, blah... Anyways I'm TRYING to catch up on fic reading, fic reviewing, bookmark organizing, answering/approving old old OLD comments, meeting readers (yeah I had some trying to just hang so I'm checking if they're good people

And all sorts of wonderful organizing things. Also... there's me considering moving wattpad protected stuff little by little over to ao3 cos I don't think you guys have even seen the other DL, Bleach and Naruto stuff I've written... Plus wattpad readers kinda ignore us.

Gin and I are from there so we know 😆.

Anyways, that's somewhat of an ao3 update thingy. Feel lik2 napping again. It's like all the sleep I lost is coming back with a vengeance...

(Literally me. I do be having my phone like that on my lap whilst the lights are off LMFAO)

writing tip fo today:

blue eye light sensitivity !!!

so whats so different about blue eyes vs all the other colors ?

simple. blue eyed folks (like myself and my siblings) have a higher sensitivity to light than people with other eye colors. for example, walking out of a store in the middle of a sunny day will hurt. a lot. we get all squinty-eyed and take longer to adjust to the bright sunlight. sunglasses are a huge help when outside, especially while driving. cute-but-effective sunglasses are the key. cloudy days are our best friends.

go forth and use this knowledge well, writer friends <3
