i think that once i get things a bit more settled over on @poeticpathetic, i'm going to do a nice little revamp of el here. keep the blog, but overhault the overall story. probably make the main verse a bit more general with specific fandom ghostie verses, such as j&tp and ahs.

"everyone can move things with a bit of practice. you just gotta focus some of your energy on your hands or feet or whatever you're using to move the thing. it gets easier after a while." el demonstrated by picking up their sketchbook before gently placing it down again. “there’s other stuff that you can supposedly do besides that and teleporting, but i’m not sure what they are. i’m still trying to figure out a lot of this myself.”

@phantombass​ asked: nobody sees us - Reggie

they nodded, gaze shifting from the bassist to the crowd of lifers that milled around them. “that’s the curse of being dead, i s’pose. you can do all sorts of cool stuff now, but no one can see or hear you. it really takes that whole ‘feeling alone in a crowded room’ thing to an entirely new level, doesn’t it?”

[lonelyhaunt]

@youthstclen​ asked: "Do you ever get sad when an old memory resurfaces? It’s funny. Even a good memory can make you cry.”

“all the time.” a sad smile curled on their lips. “i’ve been dead less than a year and everything is still so fresh. i do wonder if it gets any easier as you get older and those that you once loved pass on.”

[lonelyhaunt]

@youthstclen​ asked: “Hmmm, could be spooooky.”

an eyebrow lifted at that, gaze shifting upwards from the costume that they’d been patching. “would spooky still work on us? i mean, we’re kinda spooky every day, aren’t we? but-” they look back down at the garment in their hands before gently setting it aside. “-i could definitely use a break. alright, i’m down.” they stood up at this, stretching for a moment before sighing. “it’s not like they’re really gonna miss either of us anyway.”

long live the D E A D !

orange world.

dialogue prompts from orange world and other stories by karen russell.

is ‘historic’ your way of saying ‘haunted’?

what would you be, if you lived somewhere else?

how quickly you snap back into character.

everybody needs an audience.

i’m not much of a dancer.

you doing okay?

you got me talking. now i won’t shut up.

who can say what the dead do or do not know?

there’s so much more to you than what they see.

i’m going to keep you safe now.

we were all fifteen once. we all survived it.

you’re just trying to embarrass me.

you’re so young. you can’t know.

you can’t survive your death, it survives with you.

heartbreak is the universal diagnosis for the end of love.

why did i ever get married?

i almost didn’t recognize you.

when you’re desperate, you make strange compromises.

find a hobby. raise a puppy.

be angry. you have every right.

love unlids pandora’s box.

how do you survive the peace and quiet?

live long enough and your life becomes your own to gamble with.

this part of me has always been the broken one.

good luck is luck i don’t deserve.

unscathed? i wouldn’t say that.

we are no longer the authorities on anything. not even our pain.

do i look like a drug dealer?

i don’t know what’s broken, my spirit or my heart.

my guilt is alive and well.

i don’t know how to do anything else.

i won’t remember that.

i have not felt so alive in years.

i ran too far, didn’t i?

i owe you some answers.

nobody told me anything, but i listen to what is said.

you fit yourself around your circumstances.

if you cannot believe me, then you are not my family.

don’t you recognize me?

i wanted to know where you go, when you leave.

money can make sense out of almost anything, can’t it?

i wasn’t hired to ask questions.

make up a name for me. any name you’d like.

i wanted to see my home again.

people my age are criminals. we ruined the world.

i didn’t come this close to the end just to turn around.

you just wanted to disappear for a little while, didn’t you?

you came here to find me?

have we loved each other well?

could we love each other better?

you love to play the martyr, don’t you?

i feel that way about you still.

i don’t know how any of that is going to go against this .

isn’t that funny ?  and i thought you didn’t believe in magic .

i came to get you .  i’m worried about you .

you’re dismissive enough about me when you’re sober .

find your way back yourself .

i’m sorry ,  i was an asshole ,  i was drunk .  i’m at a loss .

who are we working for ?

stop being paranoid .

i don’t know if i can do this ,  i don’t wanna go to jail .

stay in the car .

hey !  i wanna have a word with you .

don’t EVER talk to me like that again .

i just got my ass handed to me !

faith isn’t a luxury i have time for right now .

i’d like to express a sentiment to you about our relationship .

when i first met you ,  i thought you were kind of a  …  dick .

oh my god ,  i did NOT see that coming .  that’s impossible !

that was actually  …  pretty good .

i’m so sorry for kicking your ass ,  really .

some things are best left unexplained .

my mendings itch .  there’s nothing to do .

what ceremony of words can patch the havoc ?

stop crying .  open your hand .

it is a terrible thing ,  to be so open .

i am too pure for you or anyone .

it’s easy to blame the dark .

how free it is ,  you have no idea how free .

it must be one or the other of us .

it was a kind of marriage ,  being so close .

nobody sees us .

i couldn’t sleep for a week .

it is comfortable ,  for a change ,  to mean so little.

tell me i’m here .

your room is lousy with flowers .

now i resemble a sort of god .

nobody can tell what i lack .

i suppose it’s pointless to think of you at all .

i can stay awake all night ,  if need be .

this is not what i meant .

i can’t get it out of my mind .

when you kick me out ,  that’s what i’ll remember .

i wasn’t fooled .  i knew you at once .

if the moon smiled ,  she would resemble you .

your clear eye is the one absolutely beautiful thing .

perfection is terrible .

i do not trust the spirit .

one day ,  it won’t come back .

they will wonder if i was important .

oh god ,  i am not like you .

there is no stopping it .

we have come so far ,  it’s over .

tonight will be ,  in every respect ,  like every other night .

that’s how you always talk before we start .

if i didn’t trust you at this ,  i wouldn’t trust myself .

at least i feel less dread of the world beyond ours .

i admit it :  i’m afraid .

don’t be so smart .

i dreamed of doing it ,  and now it’s done .

earth is my haunt .

the police love you ,  you confess everything .

is my life so intriguing ?

i know why you won’t give it to me .  you’re terrified .

is it impossible for you to let something go and have it whole ?

must you kill what you can ?

there is one thing i want today ,  and only you can give it to me .

it won’t hurt .

i have always been scared of you .

i didn’t call you .  i didn’t call you at all .

there is nothing between us .

seven hours knocked out of my right mind .

i am myself .  that is not enough .

i dream of someone else entirely .

we should meet in another life .

it was an accident .

you know what lies are for .

dying is an art ,  like everything else .

i am so stupidly happy .

eternity bores me ,  i never wanted it .

staying makes no sense .

you’re taken ,  but you’re alone .

i wish you smiled at me that way .

come on ,  you’re kidding yourself .

it’s like you’re waiting to be loved .

you’re here every night ,  aren’t you ?

i’ll be honest ,  i’ve lied to myself .

listen ,  i know you hate being alone .

you don’t need to turn the volume down .

why do we make each other wait for love ?

i have found myself being in awe of you .

it made ruins of my heart ,  loving you .

you left ,  and i grew stronger without you .

i’m sorry ,  i don’t want to come off as rude .

a part of me hates the idea of finding true love .

i wish i could promise some fashion of salvation .

your heart was never meant to carry this sadness .

am i wrong for believing i could be right for you ?

i hate the way i fumbled my heart into your hands .

the silence was always the loudest coming from you .

your eyes are always so sad in every photo you post .

i have been searching for you while being distracted .

i felt it .  the moment we began to lose one another .

we lose so much time holding on to lovers who hate us .

it’s strange ;  my heart is heavy and empty at all times .

be a mess when it’s over ,  if that’s how you really feel .

maybe it’s none of my business ,  but i’ll take my chances .

you’ve been wasting those restless 3am’s on the wrong person .

your heart is a sanctuary ,  the way you have me on my knees .

when you’re ready to choose someone other than yourself ,  choose me .

crazy to think that i was hoping you’d silence my demons ,  but they were you all along .

don’t tell me ghosts aren’t real when i can see you but you’re obviously no longer here .

i didn’t want advice ,  i didn’t want a solution .  i just wanted you to hug me .  that was it .

it’s like you’re trying to forgive yourself for all the shit that he did to you .  that’s not right .

i hate the way i could muster up the courage to care for someone who was never brave enough to fall for me .

i guess i care way too much about something that has nothing to do with me ,  but that won’t stop me from saying all of this to you.
