#the skinjacker trilogy

[sundewhasaudhd]

Hi Tumblr :D 👋

My name is Sundew, I’m a MINOR (high school age) I’m pan, trigender, ambiamorous, and use all pronouns

I’m an artist, actor, script writer, theatre kid, and AuDHD haver

Current hyperfixations: DSMP, musical theatre, Trolls, my OC's

Current fandoms: DSMP, musical theatre, Trolls, Hazbin Hotel, Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus, Amphibia, TOH, DDLC, The Skinjacker Trilogy, ROTTMNT, Helluva Boss, Ramshackle (kind of), Percy Jackson (kind of), QSMP (kind of), Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Nimona, Mitchel's vs the Machines, Chikn Nugget (that counts as a fandom right?), Bluey, SheRa, Ducktales, Adventure Time, Luca, LMK (kind of), Vocaloid, Tangled the Series, DHMIS, and probably more tbh

I'm currently working on 5 different DSMP AU's/ animated fanfics, and one day I would like to make 'DSMP the animated show' and my high fantasy OC's cartoon, both of which would be indie animated and available on YouTube (but we'll cross those bridges when we get there)

This blog does not support cc!Wilbur or his actions, cc!Wilbur supporters DNI

I post very sporadically because of school, but when I do post, it’ll mainly be DSMP stuff (especially my own AU’s), but I will also post stuff for other fandoms

I’m absolutely obsessed with c!TNT duo and with take pretty much any opportunity I can get to draw/talk about them

Like I said earlier, I don’t not support cc!Wilbur in any way shape or form. That being said I really really super like c!Wilbur (o!Wilbur and q!Wilbur are neat too) and most of my AU’s have him as a big role

Feel free to ask me about my DSMP headcanons (or headcanons for any other fandom listed above), just know I might not always answer immediately because of school and shit like that

Anyway, I hope you all have a nice day and enjoy my Tumblr :D

Mikey McGil

He's a tween ghost who got so angry one day that he sunk into the center of the Earth, and then got so angry that he crawled his way back out again (this took several years if not decades). When he crawled out he was a mutated crab monster. When he's introduced he's the captain of a tween ghost pirate ship.

My Top 100 Ships (#90: Allie/Mikey)

Source: Skinjacker Trilogy (by Neal Shusterman)

Fanfiction Rating: F There are eight fanfictions for this fandom between AO3 and one of them features this ship. There are twenty on ff.net. This is... not an active fandom.

When Did I Start Shipping Them? I remember this series through a haze because I read it in middle school, yet these two were so important to me that they survive on this list. I think that I shipped them even before Mikey was revealed to be another kid, when he was still acting the monster. Why Do I Ship Them? I've been a sucker for the beauty and the beast archetype since I was younger than I can remember. Damaged and twisted creature kidnaps someone that it sees as an example of perfection? And then they fall in love? This is far from the last time the trope will show up in this list, but this one is special for stealing my heart at a very early age.

Favourite Fanfiction Tropes/Staples? More body horror please! Neal Shusterman did an impressive job with a YA horror book but I'd love to see these characters taken a little further into the horror direction without the limits of needing to not traumatize preteens.

I think there’d be a lot of balloons in everlost, kinda like how the fortune cookies are, but when they’re popped rather than broken. But because they start floating away, untethered, as soon as they appear almost no one get to see them.

man.. rereading the arc of a scythe trilogy!!!!

[thetonethetollandthethunder]

Why does no one talk about the skinjacker trilogy, good books! (Well the first book is good havent finished the rest but yk)!

[7scorpio]

the underland chronicles. the midnighters trilogy. septimus heap. the missing series. the skinjacker trilogy. the one about nicolas flamel

[best-childhood-book]

Could I submit Everlost from the Skinjacker Trilogy / Everlost books for Children's Worlds (assuming it hasn't already been submitted)?

Of course!

[nealshustermanreal]

It makes my day to see these older books of mine popping up on my timeline. This put a smile on my face @theblonderegistry 😊

If you'd like to pick up a copy of Everlost or any of the other books in the Skinjacker trilogy, you can go ahead and use this link: https://lnk.bio/NealShusterman

book recs (sorted-ish by vibe). also i am not good at understanding what books are stressful and i’m not sure what will shatter your heart but i will try :)

books that made me feel things (but not heartbreak and pain):

Howl’s Moving Castle (and the whole series) by Diana Wynne Jones — is it a children’s book? yes. is it beautiful and wonderful and makes me so so happy? also yes. if you’ve seen the movie disregard it when reading the book. they’re similar in concept but not really the same. the movie is great but the book is great in a different way so i’d recommend it if you want something calm and magical and perfect

i am realizing that i don’t have any nice happy books

weird / lots of metaphors:

Vicious by V.E. Schwab (one of my fav authors) — this book,, is kinda fucked up. it is.. weird. the main character is in a rivalry with another guy that is so hateful on both ends that it’s actually kinda homoromantic ngl. it is a very revenge-focused book and it does get dark sometimes but overall it won’t shatter you i prommy

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett — if you haven’t seen the show (doubtful, everyone has) and even if you have seen it it’s wonderful. the show is fantastic obviously but book crowley and book aziraphale will always have my heart

I really really recommend anything by Chuck Palahniuk. Fight Club is his most famous novel but it gets really fucked up so if that’s not your vibe maybe skip him. if it is your vibe i’d recommend The Invention Of Sound (really fucked up actually might shatter you i think it changed me irrevocably) or Invisible Monsters (mildly fucked up but I’m only halfway through it rn so it might get worse?)

The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater (book one is The Raven Boys) — this series is gay and also weird. very weird. i don’t think i can explain it kind of weird. i think i read this whole series in 3 days when i got it. it has a definite vibe. i don’t know what that vibe is but it has one. also technically probably a ya series but i don’t remember

anything by Neal Shusterman — i was obsessed with his books for years i think i’ve read almost everything he’s written. a lot of his books are ya novels but they focus on a lot of serious issues in very interesting ways. one of my favorite series by him is called the Skinjacker trilogy and oh my god that sounds so sinister it’s not i prommy. first book is Everlost. it reads almost like a children’s book based on the vibes but it has some deep topics and i don’t remember if it will shatter your heart or not. would also recommend the scythe series and the unbound series but those also deal with heavier topics so keep that in mind

classics (some have a particular writing style that some people have a hard time understanding so if you do then ignore these):

read anything by Jane Austen but especially Emma it is so good

if you haven’t read the Great Gatsby do that. defiantly some gay vibes but a sad-ish end so idk. and it’s important to read. i read it every year. it’s so good

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde — one of my favorite classics i was obsessed with this for years, kinda fucked up in the way that all classics are but it’s only sad depending on your outlook

the ones i’d recommend the most are Howl’s Moving Castle, Vicious, Good Omens, and Invisible Monsters

tbh i’m the type to look for heart-shattering, thought provoking, really weird books so i tried to recommend the less messed up ones. i was combing my bookshelf and looking through my drawers (i have so many books) but most of them make people cry so a lot of the ones i recommended were ya or on a thin line. except for Howl’s Moving Castle. it’s my #1 favorite chill book (and only chill book apparently)

but if you ever want books that will kill you on the spot i can recommend you great things

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! v much appreciate the recs!!! to be fair most of the time idek what will be stressful or shatter my heart. like the last book i read which i Loved was extremely heartbreaking. i am just a mentally ill guy so i like to read things that don't make me have a complete emotional breakdown :-) i DO love weird/metaphorical books tho. also can you believe that i have a degree in english and i've never read the great gatsby OR any jane austen??? having professors who fought against the western literary canon was truly a blessing and a curse

of Course literally all of the books you rec'd are checked out from my library jghjhgjh but i will be bookmarking this list so i can check them out in a few weeks!!!

[hyper-revenge-sio]

I got a book by Neal Shusterman for Christmas, and recognized his name because I (think) did a project off of something he wrote for an ELA assignment a bit ago, but no. I read the back because I can and find out he wrote the Skinjacker trilogy, of which I was all over in middle school

I literally can't believe this

[sundewhasaudhd]

It’s 1:09 am, and I’m bored, and instead of script writing, or drawing, or going to sleep (all things I should be doing), imma just draw my long ass kin list instead (if anyone wants to, you can ask why I kin/to what degree I kin with, I’ll explain):

[rhythmloid]

FOR BOOK RECS may I suggest the Skinjacker trilogy by Neil Shusterman 👀 it's got a couple of books but a really great storyline, paranormal tones but not anything too goofy

I’ll check it out! Thanks anon!

[tonitheloftwing]

Can’t wait for Neal to drop his next big series, The Red Nintendo Switch 😤
