PSYCHE talking about skulduggery's religious beliefs now i got you!!! you thought this was about post-event plotting??? that's crazy!!! and stop telling me the lights are too dim!!!!
the william tell overture playing as he wakes up feeling probably more rested than he has in.... 50+ years?
potentially experiencing Some Issues but none that anyone would Notice or Care About (i'm sure!!!)
entirely likely he's going to start laughing the moment he wakes up out of just how fucking wild that was
making wild assumptions here for all i know the captain is gonna keep skulduggery in the bridge like his little stay at home husband
sits in here
whittling bones
sincerely hope he does carve a lil decoration into it so skulduggery can be like "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"
lmao
a little secret hint to his secret romanticism
ill regain skulduggery a bag of bones so izzy can have more arts and crafts supplies
I bet Izzy can make a really decent sharp carrot
what IS the ship name for SkulCap?
handsoplenty he did sharpen the end of the rib in case he needed to stab anyone at short range so you're not wrong
coz a skullcap is a hat innit
Skulls will get the video as promised.
yeah don't make too many plans yet
oh dear
is the captain gonna wear skully around his waist?
I've heard of keeping your frenimes to lovers closer but this is ridiculous
insert sex toy joke about bones here
the boat: so we're gonna kill the captain?
comesailaway: i knew this would flush you out
skulduggery: IM GONNA FUCK THAT OLD MAN
you KNOW WHERE I AM AND HOW EAGER I AM FOR INFORMATION
that's not the only thing he's eager for 
the post is written i just need my brain to wake up a bit more
you just need someone to bid your blood to run
before you come undone
and so on
oh no
comesailaway: WAIT
IS THIS THE GAY TRANSITION???
IS THIS THE GAY TRANSITION???
skulcap fandom explodes in 3 2 1
just did a series of squealing high kicks in my kitchen
Stede will officiate their wedding
good luck there theyre taking their vows while flying over another cliff
oh my god
the energies in this plurk
Stede will go fast
but like otoh it's not as if they dont' come back from the dead so he can be like
sorry, guys, can we do another take? I think I flubbed that last line
traditionally at sea if the captain marries it's the first mate who officiates, so it would make sense for stede or ed to officiate as alternative captains
technically Stede is the captain's captain
as some dumbass signed a contract in blood
sure is
Stede needs to officiate yup
and their wedding present can be like what Stede and Mary got... tombstones
I hereby pronounce you uh skeleton and...whatever
....which I suppose makes the captain some distant relative of Gonzo that they never speak about
hes a fellow muppet???
no wonder he joined the ofmmuppets crew
what if skulduggery doesnt want a christian wedding though 
Whatever he wants <3
Stede could dress in leather and you could have a badass wedding, skully
to whose benefit is that?
...theirs? because it's cool??
well that is true
Hand fasting hand fasting 
i was thinking about it in the shower and it's probable that in his reality, the sorcerers beliefs were probably the foundation of celtic paganism? or at least they likely developed closely together
at some point Skulduggery needs to end up in the bathtub with a rubber ducky stuck between his ribs
i could probably make a decent argument for the faceless ones being adopted by mortal spiritualism and turned into various gods
except when the christians came in they really walloped the mortal beliefs so there's probably a sudden branching off where the sorcerers are concerned
uggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh derek landy just make cohesive historical lore please
skulduggery's ancestors the ancients worshiped the faceless ones until xxx time where they turned on them, because they were evil, and banished them from their dimension
(unbeknownst to them, this would lead to the faceless ones slaughtering billions of lives as they ripped their way through reality after reality to return back to their home dimension)
(unbeknownst to them, this would lead to the faceless ones slaughtering billions of lives as they ripped their way through reality after reality to return back to their home dimension)
(and the only way those gods even found their home dimension again was because skulduggery failed to stop the grotesquery from calling to them and he failed to stop the portal from opening. no pressure though 
)
)
so anyway at xxx time they arguably had to... fill their spirituality with something. but maybe it really was just athiests vs believers in the war?
(the war being the big centuries long fight between believers of the faceless ones and Literally Everyone Else)
yeah i guess they wouldn't need to come up with another filler religion, they know their gods are real and they have rejected them
maybe like a sideways proto unitarianism
but after a certain point, basically by the time skulduggery's a kid, the whole faceless ones/ancients thing is kind of mythologized i think? so they wouldn't actually believe it was real
because by the time the books start everyone is like "skulduggery, that is a CHILDREN'S FAIRY TALE. that cannot be true."
i would pay good money to know what the religious breakdown of modern sorcerers is b/c like. some of them got to be christians
in IRELAND?
come on
