I Was Watching HBO's The Pitt The Other Night And Thought That They Looked Similar... So Naturally I

i miss them 😔 💛

thinking about them again…

i just realized i need some school spirits merch 😭 I don't have any but i can get pretty crafty... what the hell do i do?

would we want hand holding magnetic charwall charms? holding two halves of a heart? GUYS WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE !!!

a little sneak peek, if you will.

this might not be the final draft but it's a scene I find extremely adorable (I love my OCs)

p.s. if anyone speaks/reads Tagalog pls help bc I do not and am relying on google translate and other websites lol

p.p.s I don't have names for Simon's mom and sister so I'm open to suggestion

Xavier the type of guy to ask Simon to be his Valentine (and be nervous about it) after they’ve been dating five years.

Simon thought it was dumb the first time he asked, he quickly realized how sweet it was.

oh wow... i don't know why that hadn't clicked for me while watching the episode... fucking hell

what do you mean simon had to hold maddie's dying body

Although School Spirits is rated as TV-M, it isn't too graphic or dark in certain aspects (except for the obvious death/murder). It's considered a supernatural teen drama, but can you imagine if there was a darker aspect to the spirits' deaths? the little things from each of their deaths that linger with them in limbo?

On the rare occasions when Wally's quiet, people can hear the sound of bone grinding against bone when he swivels his head.

Sometimes Charley speaks with a rasp, his voice laced with a wheeze like he can't really breathe.

Rhonda will occasionally bleed from her head, the fabric of her hat dented and matted with a dark spot. Don't stand too close, you might see the bruising underneath her turtleneck that eerily looks like a hand.

The smell of smoke, singed hair, and skin linger around Mr. Martin and Janet. There are times when they don't speak much, their throat itchy and tired from coughing due to smoke inhalation. Blink and you might miss the pink rashes and blisters that appear on their skin.

Periodically, Quinn and the band kids have road-rashed band uniforms, their instruments bent/dented, and shards of glass embedded in their skin and clothes.

This one's more lighthearted: The sound and faint feeling of buzzing grow the closer you stand next to Dawn. If given the chance, she can shock the other ghosts by poking them; she giggles when they flinch.

Will revisit when Yuri's death is revealed :(

i'm such a sucker for cuddling of any kind. like they just need to be together and I can't 😭

they eepy

you read my mind. YES. exactly this

god, i love the contrast we got between Martin and Anderson in the show; their roles as teachers, their messy antagonistic roles throughout the seasons, and just the way Mr. Martin could've done things differently... but he did what he did and fucked up astronomically bad. Then he gets called out by someone of equal authority! Which is AMAZING.

Obviously, the ghost kids can tell him all the ways he messed up by betraying them, using them for experiments, etc. but the real dig at him can only be done by someone who's gone through rough shit like him and is still able to say that he would've never done what he did to his students. To hear his actions be said by a voice of authority and maturity.

Honestly, I would've enjoyed seeing more interactions between the two. Stick 'em in a room with comfy couches, snacks, and drinks, and let them just talk shit out (maybe definitely let Anderson rock Martin's shit). They both need someone to talk to and an ear that listens. plus, Martin could've finally interacted with someone his age rather than depend on his 15 y/o student for the last sixty years or so.

i have so much respect for mr. anderson. i absolutely love his character

there’s so much focus in media on all the ways a teacher can be bad. in the reveal of an authority figure being untrustworthy. in someone taking advantage of the power dynamic between a teacher and student

and i get that it can make for a really interesting storyline- obviously because it’s worked so well with mr. martin- but mr. anderson is such a nice change

especially in season 2, he is such a great example of all the ways a teacher can be good. teachers are some of the most important people in a kid’s life. they can have some of the biggest impacts- for worse, sure, but also for better.

mr. anderson became a teacher for all the right reasons. he cares about his students. we see it in a more personal way with maddie, but it’s even evident in the way he interacts with these ghost kids he just met.

we all know mr. martin was in the wrong, that he is the bad guy in this. we know it, and the students know it. but it’s different- for the students especially- hearing someone say it? hearing an adult say it?

you can hear it in in mr. anderson’s voice- what mr. martin did, hurting his students like he did, it would never cross mr. anderson’s mind. and his first instinct is to protect the kids, to tell mr. martin just how ashamed he should be

idk it’s just so refreshing to see an authority figure who really is good. who really does care and isn’t afraid to call a bad teacher out. even when kids are in high school- they’re still kids. they still rely on adults to keep them safe

shit, this song's going in the playlist now ig!

Also, love the way @simonssweater put the two images to make them look like they're actually looking at each other 🫶 (they're so cute)

“You with the dark curls,

You with the watercolor eyes.”

In some of the different ships I love.

Literally, why can't I find anything on these two 😭 They have such potential -- I can't write for another fandom!

Enemies to lovers: Simon Elroy x Xavier Baxter

did not expect their friendship/dynamic this season but i'm enjoying it so much that i'm scared something gonna happen to one (or both of them.

We tell her. Together.
