Went to FF.net for some good time reading
>go to the games section
>looking through titles
>wait a minute
you know tony totally uses every single clichéd pick up line in the book on steve because steve hasn’t heard them yet steve is from the 40’s so tony goes around going “do you have a map? because i just got lost in your eyes” and steve is like wow tony you’re so clever how do you come up with these
meanwhile natasha is wondering what floor she would have to push them off of in order to ensure maximum injury while still making it seem like an accident
I know none of you give a shit about this, but I DESPERATELY need to make a list of my favorite Darren Shan characters.
Ok, so I’ve finished both The Saga of Darren Shan and The Demonata after about three months and… I didn’t think it was POSSIBLE to love this author and his books even more than I did two months ago. Like. OH MY GOOODDD. He’s so brilliant. For so many reasons. But I need to make a character appreciation post or I’m going to explode.
The Demonata (in no particular order)
- Bec
- Dervish Grady
- Lorcan
- Connla (before he went all…you know)
- Kernel
- TIMAS BRAUSS!
- Beranabus
- Shark
- Juni Swan in Slawter
- Meera Flame
- Fiachna
- Drust
The Saga of Darren Shan (in no particular order)
- Steve Leopard/Leonard
- Larten Crepsley
- Kurda Smahlt
- Arra Sails
- Mika ver Leth
- Arrow
- Darius
- Alice Burgess
- Sam Grest
- Evra Von
- Shancus
- Hibernius Tall
- Madam Octa
- Rudi
- Streak
- (from Saga of Larten Crepsley) (early) Tanish Eul
- (“”) Wester Flack
- (“”) Malora
And favorite couples? They would have to be…
Dervish/Meera (or is it Meera/Dervish? :p), Beranabus/Bec, Lorcan/Ronan, Grubbs/Kernel, Shark/Timas, Larten/everyone, Kurda/Darren, Wester/Kurda, and that’s all I can think of for now…
Also that character development for Kirilli? SO GOOD. While he didn’t end up making my favorite characters list, I was able to go from disliking his character to appreciating and respecting him.
You think your friends are never going to die, that all the people you know and care for will be with you forever. Then the world makes a fool of you, so quickly, so simply, that you wonder whether any of your family or friends will see out another day intact.

How bloody awesome is this?
Theory on werewolves in Darren Shan’s YA works
People on my follow list can disregard this since I doubt anyone really follows Darren Shan.
This has probably been brought up, but any else feel that the world where the Saga of Darren Shan and The Demonata series has some significant crossovers at least in regard to the werewolves of both series?
They’re permanantly changed feral beings who lose all traces of human emotion when they’re transformed. The wolfman in Cirque du Freak is basically a textbook Grady clan werewolf.
It could be. I mean, there are several universes, as The Old Creatures explained. Maybe the Cirque IS in one of those universes and, somewhere, somehow, a Grady werewolf got sucked into.
“I have never cried as much reading a book as I have throughout the Darren Shan series. The first time was with Gavner and at the end with Darren, then there was Bill-E in the Demonata books, but when Larten Crepsley died, I had to put the book down and cry for a solid 15 minutes before I could keep reading.”
Hell’s Heroes
Clearing my throat, to a chorus of good-natured groans from Kernel and Bec, I chant solemnly. “In the beginning Grubbs created the heavens and the earth, and everything was dark. Then Grubbs said, ‘Let there be light!’”
And there was light.
Coolio!
im going to post this separately because i actually really like how it turned out
also because meera and timas are perfect
But stories don’t end. They continue as long as you’re alive. You just have to get on with things. Turn the page, start a new chapter, find out what’s in store for you next, and keep your fingers crossed that it’s not too awful. Even if you know in your heart and soul that it most probably will be.
