The Faceless Ones

Side by Side-ish

Completed: April 26th 2024

I have never posted about this anywhere on the internet but I am literally so obsessed with the Skulduggery Pleasant book series. Like for being aimed at 9-12 year olds it’s so good. Also I’m like lowkey down bad for Skulduggery, he’s a silly guy.

Anyway Solomon Wreath has like, objectively one of the funnier names in this series.

He’s named after King Solomon, a Hebrew judge in the Old Testament, who famously decrees that a dispute between two women over the parentage of a baby can only be resolved by cutting the child in half, and giving each woman an equal share.

A full three books after he’s first introduced, it’s then revealed that Wreath believes the only way to end all suffering in the world is to cut the population in half.

His name and character arc are like, a tongue-in-cheek, exaggerated misinterpretation of the moral in the original story - which was obviously not meant to be “the only way to solve your problems is by cutting them in half.”

And when Wreath is killed, his death is Darquesse cutting him into halves.

Incorrect Skulduggery Quotes

Fletcher: *exists*

Valkyrie: Hmm, so daddy issues?

[the-ghost-of-a-spirit]

I FIGURED IT OUT

I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED

I KNOW WHY SKUG LEFT THE CITY GUARD

Kinda

So, remember Somnolent? From resurrection? when skug said "I didn't want to tell you about Somnolent" yeah

WELL GUESS WHAT

China was ordering skulduggery to kill serpine, he said "that's not what i do" then china said "oh really? Tell that to detective Somnolent"

this implies that skulduggery had to kill Somnolent (and might have been ordered to by china)

Idk if any Skulduggery Pleasant fans still follow me, but-

(Spoilers for phase 2 btw!!)

I was thinking earlier… I reckon a much more interesting way of doing the blood of the faceless ones thing, instead of just making Valkyrie even more unbelievably… special, is if the person with the high concentration of Faceless Ones blood had been China.

Like… it’s been a while since I read the books and I don’t have them on me atm so I can’t quote specifically, but mid phase 1 China is going through her family crypt and reflecting how her grandmother used to tell them all that their family knew that they were different, that when the Faceless Ones returned they wouldn’t be overtaken by them. China sniffs at the conceit.

But what if that was because they are actually strongly descended from the Faceless Ones themselves? It would have been interesting I think, and could have posed an interesting conflict between her and Valkyrie’s respective bloodlines. Plus we could have had some actual meaningful China content. Idk.

Tell me about your young justice skulduggery pleasant au!

ok so basically it's the skulduggery pleasant world but like with dc characters, so it's not following the events of books just the lore and universe of it, though the war did happen, and theres still like the sanctuary and council of elders and faceless ones, ancients, etc. its just adapted for my wants because this is my au.

the justice league were all present for the war and they all fought in it and stuff, they're all like super powerful and stuff

the council of elders is comprised of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman

idk who the grand mage is quite yet

for like specifically young justice stuff I've only really figured out their like magic and a bit of their backstory

Tim like saw Batman and Dick doing magic and stuff and then kind of stalked them before jumping into battle to help Batman one time, and has been working for him since

Tim and like the entire bat family are all elementals

Bart kinda grew up with this magic stuff because it runs in the family and stuff

he's an adept and his ability obviously is speed

Cassie also like forced herself into magic like Tim did, but shes more connected with her civilian life than he is

she's also an adept, which gives her her like wonder powers and shit

Kon I don't quite know his full back story but I'm thinking a sort of magic clone of Superman or something

he's an adept and has his TTK

he definitely lords the fact that hes an adept and isnt just "element stuff" over Tim

his whole no aging thing also works because using magic rejuvenates the body and slows the aging

Cissie was trained into this by her mom so she never had the chance to live a normal life without magic

she's an adept because of her mother

Greta is a Skulduggery situation, except she's a ghost instead

she's an elemental

secret identity stuff is gonna be like super (heh) interesting with the whole three name stuff. their given name is their secret identity name, the ones they got at birth (though for superboy, he was given the name Kon by Supes so that's his given name) and their chosen name is something along the lines of or their hero name, though I'll probably change them to fit the naming scheme in the books, especially with legacy characters.

also I'm moving the sanctuary and book of names and all the artifacts to america instead of Ireland because that's where yj is set

More sillies I made

[Image ID 1: A doodle of younger Anton and Saracen. The first doodle is of the two walking side by side. Saracen, aged around 11, is looking at Anton, who is nonchalantly saying "Willow trees get up and follow people at night btw". The next doodle is of Saracen, looking at Anton in abject horror. / End ID]

[Image ID 2: A doodle page of younger Anton and Saracen, set up like a comic. The first doodle has Saracen, aged around 15, with a small moustache going on, smiling cheerfully with the speech bubble "The best way to get people to trust you is a charming smile". In the next doodle he is smiling with his eyes closed and sparkles all around him, with the speech bubble "Like this!". In the next doodle Anton is looking stoic, with Saracen's speech bubble "Now you try it!" next to him. In the fourth doodle he is trying to force himself to smile, accidentally grimacing threateningly instead. The text "*wood creaking.mp3*" is placed next to him. In teh fifth doodle Saracen is looking puzzled, with his hand under his chin. The last doodle is the same, except Saracen is now pointing with one of his fingers, and has the speech bubble "We're going to have to workshop that". / End ID]
