cadaver cain, mii vs my interpretation of his design

#skulduggerypleasant

i can't believe i'm saying this, but this might have surpassed death bringer as my favourite book in the series. i'm guessing the soul full of shadows was about val's whole thing. or was it about winter. or was it about cadaver's plans. fuuuck i can't tell.

LMAOOO ghastly just sagging at cadaver. peak dynamics honestly.
CADAVER YOU LITTLE SHIT BASTARD. I HATE AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH OH MY GOD.

VAL AND MILISTA WEDDING INCOMING? OB I'M SO HAPPY YUPPEE YIPEEE YIPPPEEEE.

'don't slag off the harpy' LMAOOO
i hope she was just like owl beast eda, cadaver almost definitely used the laser pointer technique on her at least once.

oh shit surge with sensitive winter. huh, neat, i kinda like that. and it makes a lotta sense if you ask me. i approve of this decision.

god i'm having so much fun reading this. not much else to say about it really.

'my sister cannot settle for normal' LMAOOOO. oh winter i love you so much you're such a good character. i'm so glad you're okay.

i love koa and winter's dynamic so much. i want good things to happen to them. derek please i can't handle any more heartbreak after fletcher.
ALTERRRRR GRRRRRRR

lmao why do i kinda liike tacent.

val please don't bleed out. but also you're cool as hell, so keep doing these stunts it reads well.

hateable, sure, but they're still well-written.

ghastly :(((. i hope you're okay after all this.
TANITH NO- I CAN'T DO THIS AGAIN NOT AFTER LAST BOOK. SHE'S SAFE HELL YEAH.

clown car, reminds me of the tumblr post about the funeral and it's what they would've wanted. hang on lemme find it.

cadaver stop fucking murking people oh my GOD. i think you got too used to malice not staying down for too long. oh nevermind, cur's alive

hand bones. that's all.

cur's goofy i kinda love him. i don't think there's any badly written skulduggery character, those who are made to be hated are

too.

cadaver snoozing it up i see. not actually. wonder if he's goofing around with his necromancy shit that he definitely still has mhm yep i am definitely predicting the reveal for later on. can't wait for him to become vile suddenly and just, be the exact fucking same like a dumbass.

guys please stop discussing the bone throne, why are you like this.

cadaver please stop antagonising enemies. actually, keep doing it it's funny as hell. he must be happy to have normal human interactions after living in a world where everyone worshipped the faceless ones for so long. i'd go nuts

funny.

hell yeah cleaver support systems
glad it's happening after, y'know, the black/white cleaver incident.

'thank you, cadaver cain' is basically coldheart's motto and that is hilarious.

hell yeah prison stealth, you go val.

goddammit they're even more obnoxious working together HSNMFMF.

oh my god i hate the brothers so much /pos. tanith you're right they are insufferable.
they squabble like children and one's late 400s and the other is like, mid 500s in terms of age.
bone chair. god they'd both hate that, being stuck together for all eternity.
now throw vile in the mix and it'd be

tanith threatening to tell val is peak, get their asses. you would not think they're both centuries old.

malabathrum is cool. i hope nothing bad happens to him.
i also hope nothing bad happens to koa i like him already.
DAMMIT DEREK STOP MAKING LIKEABLE CHARACTERS /vpos
winter suffers part 5000

CADAVER AND SKULDUGGERY REUNION WOOHOO.

cadaver please stop why are you like this 😭😭 /pos
i love their back and forth so much, like the head switching and stuff. i wonder how alike they sound, if cadaver's accent is more fadedd than skul's, or if it's smoother or more manic. grgrgrgrgrgr.

only one i don't see him disrespecting and meaning it is ghastly, but that's just bias.

val hating this therapy is so me coded, we are the same except she's not non-binary (unless i make her mwahahahah >:3 /silly)

HARPY VAL MENTION HELL YEAH. tempted to design her and past/current cadaver tbh

cadaver being a good warden is hilarious as a concept to me.
i love following winter this is such a neat concept. grgrgr, wouldn't mind a full spin-off with her. at least she has her soul now lmao.
skulduggery basically disrespecting every official is still funny all these books later

i forget just how fucking cool val is sometimes. oh wait, no i don't, i literally named myself after her.
oh ew, winter i hope you survive this. i love your growth so much.
damn skul's, uh, skull is worth a lot. hopefully he's still using murder skull, just to freak em out a bit. it'd be funny.

BOOOO. BOOOO. BOOOO. what if cadaver jumped you with a steel chair grigoras? hm?

i missed tanith and skul goofing off. ah, the moment early on with paper men bits in hair and val and tanith freaking out. back before skul was undoubtedly even more traumatised in the faceless ones' dimension.

i uh, i forgot china was the principal of corrival. peak honestly. meemaw sorrows.

cadaver and skul typa people to glare at each other from across the room like they wouldn't die (again) for each other.
skul ribcage switch woohoo.
tranformers mention hell yeah, not as funny as luke but still great

DEAD OR ALIVE AND THE APOCALYPSE TIMELINE WAS BAD ENOUGH.
CADAVER PRESENT HELL YEAH. HE DOES HAVE A COAT, TRENCHCOAT CADAVER BELIEVERS STAY WINNING.
OH CADAVER YOU LITTLE SHIT HELPING HER OUT I KNEW YOU CARED YAYYYY.
skul and cadaver are basically petty brothers and it's so fun. now where's vile?

cadaver you're not beating the dad allegations by giving her actually good food.
CADAVER'S GETTING OUT FUCK YEAHHHH. WHY ARE YOU BACK TO THE VIDDU DE LMAOOOO.
'CADAVER'S YOUR FRIEND. CADAVER PROTECTS YOU' WHAT THE FUCK MAN OUGHHHH.
WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS CADAVER STOP MAKING ME EMOTIONAL ALREADY

ough tanith and ghastly i'm so glad you're happy
one chapter in and skul is already a lil shit.
OH MY GOD ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE IS UNAPOLOGETICALLY CANON.

ough melissa and desmond i'm so sorry for you two :(((
CADAVER MENTION
OF COURSE HE GIVES VAL SPECIAL TREATMENT THAT'S STILL HIS DAUGHTER.
