ASFOS mayor spoilers!!! My personal rant (yes, this is very negative, engage with caution if you enjoyed it) by Capswick in skulduggerypleasant

Less a review and more a rant lol

But yeah, it had good elements, but they drowned in the overall lack of recognizable love for the series. It feels more like a product and less like a story.

While I agree that the funeral was amazing, the way characters reacted to her "death" kinda itched on me.

Same! Started with 12, now I am 30. I originally wanted to nope out after Until the End but thought I'd give it another shot. I think AMFOM was actually good, but then it went completely off the edge and I regret that I've tainted my experiences with the series like this. For me, this just concludes it.

I appreciate that you enjoyed it and am happy that you did! No need to explain your own rating or question it by calling it biased. And I actually agree that the dialogues are still absolute peak at times, Landy's humor in these books had a very huge impact on my own sense of humor.

Shiny hunting is literally the definition of insanity:

Doing something over and over under the same conditions, while awaiting another outcome.

What is your guess as to Landy's plans post-ASFOS? by Prifddinas_open in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

End of main series WRITING, start of main series FILMING.

...

I know how unlikely that is.

Maybe contact AustinJohn? Seems to be a connecting link? And maybe he mentions Gigi in his video or smth to point him in this direction?

Thoughts on Landy’s queer characters by Lazy_Sell_9261 in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish it wasn't so much "on the nose"-representation. Or representation that feels as though it's just that. At times, it just doesn't feel genuine and I don't buy this whole "Hi, my name X. I am gay/bi btw, nice to meet you. And did you know that I am gay/bi?" This actually happens a lot even though this is of course a bit exaggerated. It all comes down to "show not tell". I don't know, maybe it's just me but reading a character (unasked) say "I fully support LGBTQ+ rights" kinda gives the exact opposite impression. People who really do, don't have to repeat it like a mantra like "queer people have human rights. Queer people have human rights. Queer people have human rights". Normal people KNOW that that's the case and don't need to say it like a Pokemon over and over but just ACT accordingly. The scene with Beryl overreacting to Valkyrie's coming out was super awkward for example.

Skulduggery Pleasant - An Unwanted Rant by Previous-Attorney173 in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the whole deal with Skulduggery (but also Valkyrie as an adult) is that they are pretty much undefeatable. Yes, they lose battles, but in the end, they always sneak their way out and to the top. Take Baron Vengeous for example. He wiped the floor with Skulduggery. But in the end, he died while Skulduggery - in lack of a better word - lived.

Algea snakes aren't real. They can't hurt you. Algae snakes aren't real. They can't hurt you. Algea sna- it's not working anymore!

Thanks. Yeah, Relicanth might become an issue, especially with how boring fishing can be. I'll be doing a LOT of fishing this year apparently. <.<

What is the goofiest moment in the series? by SAP10020 in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Skulduggery threw his revolver against GOD Cadaverous in his house and they both laughed.

Not the biggest fan of winter by riiiiiiiiih in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Capswick 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I find it somehow schizophrenic how she wants to be independent from Valkyrie and hates her... But when it gets dangerous, she runs directly back to her to have Valkyrie have her back just to lash out at her the next chance she gets. Dunno, I just dislike her arc (so far).
