Yes Yes Yes All Of This - Tumblr Posts

don’t care if i haven’t read about your ocs. don’t care if i don’t know them by name. i still love them because you’ve put your heart and soul into creating them and that’s beautiful

Something that has still really stuck with me about Ghosts long after watching it is just how healthy Alison and Mike's relationship is... That was the first time I saw a couple in media I consume that I thought had a genuinely healthy relationship and it is still shocking.

Part of what made Ghosts for me was Alison and Mike's relationship. If they had been written to be a couple that fights over money, are constantly at each other's throats about house renovations, and the setbacks they face it would have made them unbearable to watch.

I genuinely felt a connection to them and I love their relationship as characters. Alison and Mike struggling to start out felt so relatable, instead of them both having pre-established careers and stable lives. I loved the messiness and chaotic nature of their lives and seeing them grow as people. Alison and Mike had their conflicts but in the end, they always worked it out! The only real times they had any genuine fights that I can recall were when Mike almost got blown up by a literal prototype mine (honestly valid- I would have been mad too king-) and over Bear Grills. Even then their fights did not end in tears or saying regrettable things or worse coming to blows, they handled it in a very healthy way.

Mike cares so much about Alison and is so supportive of her, her dreams, and her weird ghost things. Mike genuinely puts up with so much from the ghosts for not even being able to see them and can hardly interact with them. He would get annoyed at times and rightfully so but he would never be extremely resentful or hateful to Alison for the ghost's behaviors.

They are genuinely the best couple I have seen in media, granted I don't watch much but STILL.

IDK where this ramble came from but they linger in my head quite a lot.
