Nesting Guide is out here single-handedly fixing Sky’s homelessness problem

As a heads up. The original ‘Skulduggery Pleasant’ is a nine book series going from ‘Skulduggery Pleasant’ to ‘The Dying of the Light’, along with one spinoff published between Books 7 and 8, ‘The Maleficent Seven’, and one short story collection published between Books 8 and 9, ‘Armageddon Outta Here’. Subsequent books comprise a sequel series set and released a number of years later, starting a new storyline (and featuring some new characters), with a very different vibe, which the writer wanted to call something else (since ‘Skulduggery Pleasant’ would not fit by that point, for reasons you’ll get by the end of ‘The Dying of the Light’, good luck on that), but his publisher wouldn’t let him.

Happy reading!

Ooh, thanks for the heads up! I’m most of the way through the first book already and I must say that I’m quite enjoying it 😅 good to know for the future though

I grew up in urban BC and went to a public high school, so here are my personal answers to the questions:

1. There were no high schools in walking distance of where I lived, so some kids drove, but many of them took public transit because we didn’t have personalized school buses. I mainly took the bus and only got someone to drive me when the buses weren’t running or if I needed to get to school faster.

2. No uniforms in public schools, but taking part in competitions made me realize that a bunch of those rich kid private schools had them.

3. Not everyone got food from the cafeteria, but if you did want food from the cafeteria then yes, you would have to pay. I think the cafeteria at my school offered decent food (I never tried it) but we also had a bunch of shops within a few minute’s walk of my school, so lots of people got their lunches from there instead. We were allowed to eat outside unless it was super rainy or snowy, but most people preferred indoors.

4. We did have mascots. Unfortunately.

5. School sports were not a big deal, I think some of the teams got shoutouts during the morning announcements if they did well at something, but generally people ignored sports.

jock anon here! I have more questions about western schools because I always wondered how much is true :

Do you really drive to school?

Do you not have uniforms?

Do you really pay in the cafeteria? are you allowed to eat outside?

Do you have mascots?

are school sports THAT big of a deal?

(Sorry if these sound stupid but I really wanted to know )

To answer, I grew up on farmland in rural Canada

If you have your own car and a driver's license, you can drive to school. It's definitely too far to walk, but some people might bike. The city bus only goes through every four hours, but the school bus isn't too bad. If these don't work your guardians might drop you off before they go to work.

No, we did not have uniforms, that's rich city bitch shit. I personally enjoyed the fishnets and stompin boots combo but no, no uniform. Loosely-enforced dress code, too.

Yes, the cafeteria costs money. There are snack programs for If you don't have money but it's usually apples and granola bars, sometimes mac n cheese for a dollar or something. We can eat anywhere we want, just not the library, gym, or art rooms, and nobody's allowed up the trees.

We had a mascot but we didn't really use it. There was a costume but I think I only saw it twice.

I could not have given less of a shit about team sports, and I was *on* a sports team. We didn't really watch the teams play, either. From what I've seen in America it is NOTHING like they do. No parades or parties or sirens in the street, just trying to make it to nationals, maybe get a scholarship. (Didn't work for me, I was an art kid.)

It doesn't sound stupid but maybe ask an American for Wilder stories, holy fuck the sport team I saw had a fire truck wailing around town when they won once holy fuck damn near shit meself

I would’ve gotten a gender-neutral version of my name but it sounded too much like a Star Wars character.

i'll go first my parents almost named me felicity. which would've been so cool but i definitely would've been like 5x crazier if i was named that
