#who overvalues the hoes doesn't deserve the bros

[facelessxchurch]

I suppose the reason Skulduggery might not have anything of his family is because he was dead for a few years. Whatever house or property they had probably got looted or burned, but hey I don’t want to make excuses for Landy.

One thing that always bothered me was when Skulduggery was resurrected, and when he came back from his time as Vile, Landy made it seem like everyone was just okay with it…? If my best friend was murdered by the enemy and his body put on display (which guaranteed Ghastly and the other Dead Men saw) and then comes back years later as a skeleton, thats just not something anybody would automatically fine with.

And then Skul disappears AGAIN with no reason or warning for another like 5 years and then just reappear one day with little to no plausible explanation

I find it hard to believe that their friends and family didn't save some stuff from their ransacked home, or if it was destroyed completely, didn't have something of theirs in their own home. Like, Skul's wife's side of the family would probably have a portrait of at least their daughter and grandchild (all SP mages are rich, so they could afford it) and some other keepsakes. For example, a drawing or a bracelet the grandchild made or whatever kids were making in 17th/18th century Ireland.

Like, my grandparents kept my first shoes and then gifted them back to me when I turned 18. I find it hard to believe that there wasn't something.

Imagine Ghastly took it upon himself to sew clothes for the still always-growing Skul-Child and when Skul returned from the dead he gifted him the last outfit he sewed for the child, a gift the child never actually received this time.

Imagine Skul had a pocket watch with his wife and child engraved into the lid or maybe it simply was a gift from his wife with a phrase that meant something to them engraved into it. Serpine took the watch off him when he captured Skul and kept it in the same case he kept the dagger he used to poison him in. He had a nagging feeling it could still be of use to him. Imagine when Skul returned from the dead, Nef carried the watch with him at all times until one day Skul had him cornered. He taunted him with what a sweet gift from the wife the watch was before throwing it as far as he could, sending Skul scrambling for it just long enough to escape.

Only Ghastly was friends with him before he died. And honestly, Ghastly takes more shit from Skul than he should. He's like the Baron of the Dead Men. The Dead Men only formed AFTER Skul's death. I think it was Dexter who said he joined bc he wanted to fight side by side with the 'miracle soldier'. But fact-check me on that bc I don't really care about the DM.

As for the 5 Vile years: yeah, it's so stupid that that didn't make them figure out Skul is Vile. Especially since phase 2, they shared the same GF of which everybody knew she was a bad influence on him. He really said "hoes over bros" :/
