Feuer! Feuer! Manderley in Flammen! Rettet, was ihr tragen könnt, schneller, schneller, schneller!
in this essay, i will explain why queer people are obsessed with goth couples that are infatuated with each other & how they are the standard
So true. Looking back on this series as an adult - or a not twelve year old - has made me question a lot of what happened in this series. Still love it with all my heart though. Can’t wait to properly re-read and be completely horrified!
Honestly I think that Tanith and Skulduggery’s friendship is CRIMINALLY underrated in this series. They are so unhinged.
They really said “hey why not?” And decided to illegally co-raise a teenager for YEARS together in spite of barely knowing each other. They’re both hyper-violent and get mad when they can’t punch things for long periods of time. They try and kill each other a LOT. A WHOLE LOT. And they just…don’t care the next time they see each other. These were the people that decided that it was alright to use a thirteen year old as vampire bait and to NOT come with backup.
When all the Teleporters were dying off and there was only a few left, Skulduggery fully trusted that Tanith wasn’t the one killing them while not trusting just about ANYBODY ELSE. But yeah, this bounty hunter lady he’s known for two years cannot possibly be the culprit.
When Skulduggery is yelling at Valkyrie for hanging out with a vampire after he got back from the Faceless Ones dimension, everyone else was too scared to say anything EXCEPT for Tanith, who told him to shut the fuck up.
She also saw him turn into Vile while they were all in Dimension X? And as far as we know, she HASN’T TOLD ANYONE??
There’s more as well, they are such a crazy duo. They aren’t even codependent on each other and yet keep coming back to team up with each other, even if all safety and reason would say to probably not trust the other. Why do we not talk about them more.

Being a grandpa theory diehard is all about walking the fine line between Yana's same face syndrome and Francis actually looking like Undertaker
@anewp0tat0 and @missgrelle recognized the ones for Ron and Sebastian/Grell respectively and they inspired me to finish the rest
I understand this. I love how Allison isn’t the modern goth stereotype - she feels, and isn’t afraid to admit she cares. She isn’t a content loner, she wants friends - she doesn’t want to be ignored.
Leaving school recently, I’ve found myself lost. I am sometimes afraid my heart has already died. Everyone else seems excited about what adulthood will bring, but I’m just lost and sad. I have every privilege in the world, but can’t make anything of myself. Can I revive my heart?

I loved the plushia flower arrangement - I need to get my hands on one of those things…
Great art! I love how dramatic and cartoony it is.
Listen, I know Mayura hasn’t been on screen in years, and that Nathalie deserves better than Gabriel, but I can’t deny how great of a villain duo they were! I don’t even ship Gabriel and Nathalie anymore, but Hawkmoth and Mayura will always hold a special place in my heart. Mayura was hands down my favourite character in the show, and I loved seeing her get to be evil alongside Hawkmoth. She was so cool! And way smarter than Gabriel - she got closer to winning in a few episodes than he ever did. Anyway, I have a soft spot for early miraculous, mainly because I grew up watching it. I could write an essay about how Hawkmoth was better - and more enjoyable - before he became melded with Gabriel (it’s so weird how the villains seem to act and speak differently once transformed - Nathalie is a lot more affectionate, for one)
Anyway, great art, love it. Keep it up!
