School Spirits Netflix - Tumblr Posts
Tbh I'm so disappointed in the lack of range for School Spirits fics on ao3 like
If "Wally Clark x reader" is your thing then that's great! But I want more platonic fics. More hurt/comfort. A wider range of relationships, both romantic and platonic!! Where are my AUs??? My rewrites???
I mean I'm writing a fic rn but it's not the same. I wanna get surprised, read someone else's style!!
If they make Simon and Maddie have romantic feelings for each other in season two I will scream
Shameless self promo here - I have an ao3 account!!! Idk how much I'll end up publishing, but I already have a BBC Merlin fic and School Spirits fic in the world so yay!!!
EXACTLY!! I found it, binged it in basically a day, and now I'm trying to absorb all of the fan content but it's all from 2023 or simping over Wally (which if it's your jam sure! but it's not for me),
I need to consume the things!!!!
Scrolling through the school spirits tag and most of the posts being from 2023 and just flat out wrong is so funny to me
I wish I had watched the show while it was being released episode by episode, I love theorizing
On a side note, why is everyone simping for Wally 💀 I can’t unsee him as zombie dude from Disney
!!!!!!! Exactly!!!
As far as I'm aware, Maddie is the first ghost since Charlie in the 90s, so it's been twenty years since the dynamic of the group shifted. On top of the fact that, when we look at our main ghost characters, they often end up going with the majority (Wally being popular and feeling those social pressures, Charlie being gay and making himself small to avoid being a target) or have anger and frustration but no way to channel it into change (Rhonda expressing her contempt for certain things, like field day, but participating anyways).
Maddie was the catalyst!!!! She caused these patterns to change!!!
school spirits spoilers
the main message of the show being that you can’t just ignore the past and move on, you have to address it.
the school doing it by changing the mascot from devils to bandits, turning the counselors office into classrooms, turning the chemistry lab into a bunker.
and the ghosts embody it through mr martin’s “guidance”. wally never told anyone he didn’t like football. rhonda never came to terms with her murder. charley never got over emilio. dawn never got reassured. mina never got appreciated. mr martin and janet never told anyone the truth about their deaths.
and mr martin wanted them to just move on. not try to come to terms with their life, just restart and ignore the past.
and maddie forced everything to change because she refused to just ignore her murder. she had to understand her past and her death before she would be okay moving on and starting her afterlife.
and she then caused everything else to do the same. simon and her uncovered mr anderson’s scam, and the mascot switch. simon and maddie realize the counselors office just got turned into classrooms. maddie’s prodding sent charley, rhonda, and wally straight into mr martin, and the schools attempts to ignore the past.
wally opened up to maddie. so did rhonda. charley got closure with emilio. dawn opened up and crossed over! mina was appreciated for the first time. maddie prompts everyone to go through newspapers until they found out the truth about the fire.
maddie is the catalyst for the entire school to address the things they tried to ignore, including her death.
THANK YOU TO "SCHOOL SPIRITS" FOR GIVING ME A NEW STIM SONG RAHHHH I FEEL AMAZING
