I Just Thought About This Now But Like

I just thought about this now but like

If Marie was in a better headspace when she met Peggy, can you IMAGINE the shock she would’ve had seeing Peggy again? The last time she saw her sister, she was like, 9. Just a little girl. Not even in middle school yet. And suddenly she’s face to face with this 28 year old grown woman wearing her sister’s face, but it’s stretched and refined and matured. That must’ve been WILD.

I mean Peggy probably felt the same thing, though the difference between 9 and 28 is a lot more drastic than the difference between 18 and 37.

So I was just thinking about like “oh Marie would want to be buried next to George and she’d probably kick up a fuss if she was buried next to her parents + Peggy’s stepdad” but then that made me realize

Dude George and Marie’s parents were all probably buried in the same cemetery (perhaps not Martin Campbell, it seems like he moved away since Peggy said he “left” but perhaps Martha brought him back and buried him in GC)

That would be awkward as SHIT

All the ghosts in the GC cemetery

Idk what The Rules are for ghosts in this universe if there are any but my general fictional rules for ghosts are people become ghosts when they:

1) didn’t know they died (extremely sudden death, like an anyeurism in their sleep)

2) died from something really traumatic that prevents them from finding peace

3) had unfinished business or extreme regrets on earth that prevent them from finding peace

George is obviously number 2, possibly also number 1 since he was knocked out before drowning, but he did remember falling so

IIRC Martha passed away soon after Mr. Weaver did, presumably from a broken heart, and Mr. Weaver died of illness. Illness can be traumatic, but if he was given enough time, he could probably have made peace before death and gotten to move on. Martha, I’m not so sure. If she truly died of a broken heart, it’s probably due to her 1) grief over her second husband, 2) grief over her first husband, 3) regret about Marie, 4) regret about letting Martin leave. Would these be big enough to make her stick around? Not sure.

Martin, on the other hand, got into a car crash. Thats a traumatic death. He also apparently had regrets since he’d been an emotional wreck ever since Marie left. I definitely think he’s wandering around that graveyard.

All this to say can you IMAGINE Martin and Martha having to interact with George??? Like what would they even SAY???

I’m sure Martin would be very very apologetic and remorseful but idk about Martha.

Imagine Marie is like driving Henry to school one morning or something, they’re just in the car together, and he looks over at his mom and goes

“….Mama? Can I be Henry Campbell?”

And Marie scoffs and shakes her head chucking softly before going “you don’t want to be a Campbell.”

And he knows better than to argue with his mama but he just kinda looks out the window and says softly “well, why not?”

And she just sighs and grips the steering wheel harder and goes “‘cause your grandparents were terrible people. You don’t want to be attached to their name.”

And he looks over at her face like “you’re a Campbell. You’re not terrible.” And he watches her eyebrows furrow and she goes

“I gave you your father’s name for a reason. Remember that. When you’re grown, you can do whatever you want with your name. But I can’t see any reason why you’d want to stop honoring him just to take the name of those monsters. Just drop it. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. “

And he just looks down because there’s no way he can possibly explain that she matters to him more than both George and his grandparents combined without severely pissing her off

Imagine Henry goes mute basically from his arrest to his trial and at the trial they give him something to write with and a piece of paper so that he can answer questions if needed

And throughout the entire trial hes scribbling down something and then at the end he just kinda sits back and the judge is like “it seems the defense has prepared another statement. Could the attorney of the defendant please read the statement of the accused?”

And his attorney picks up the piece of paper and it’s literally just a drawing of Marie

Like a really good drawing

No words just a picture of his mother’s face

Purely a hypothetical but imagine Marie decides to chop all her hair off before they go on the hunt so she looks even more like her son to throw people of that there’s two

But like Henry gets really sad about it and just sulks around the house more than he usually does, just pouting and scowling cuz he’s always loved her hair and thought it was beautiful and it comforted him because it reminded him of when he was little

And shes like “oh get over it, it’s just hair, it’ll grow back” and he’s literally like

(Crawls out of a shallow grave)

Five whistling men. Five of them. Marie, Henry, Peggy (thx last ask for the idea) and Shitface (wants to make the current mayor look bad)

The town is doomed.

Forrest doesn’t have a chance

I will say the thought of Teddy being the whistling man in what is essentially a Scooby Doo ass plot to make the mayor look bad is a HILARIOUS idea
