#I loveeeeeeeeeeeee the spirit world so much

[phantom-does-a-thing]

The memories in the spirit world while both represent like… a place I guess they are also very real, conscious beings forever trapped in an endless stasis. They cannot die or grow old, they can’t move or speak but they are definitely conscious (I can say alive bc well… spirit world). They are the objects left behind, a burning house, a rusted swing set, a broken tree swing. All those memories of either the last moments or what it used to be.

Burning house as a view of the last moments that anyone saw it standing, a rusted swing set before it was abandoned, a tire swing before it broke. They are stuck there forever almost as grim landmarks.

Dreams are… similar to memories. They’re an object or a place that has manifested in the spirit world but in contrast: dreams are created by a powerful enough spirit they are not manifestations of things or places that have died. They can be thought of like artificial memories. Unlike memories, they can fade away and “die” in a sense. All over the spirit world is littered with faded and broken dreams from a spirit that has long since ceased to exist.

All of the major places are dreams, created by a strong enough spirit to maintain for a while. Memories are unable to be sustained comfortably, sure you can camp out in a memory for a while but… it’s uncomfortable, oppressive, even more so than the rest of the spirit world. It just feels… wrong, desolate even.

The remnants are all that’s left of what once was a human, a ghost, or a spirit. It’s after they’ve lost all bits of their humanity, their personality, everything. They happen after something died so long ago that it no longer remembers who or what it used to be. It’s just… well… a remnant.

The wisps are a remnant. A special kind but still a remnant. Theyre… different. Not as faded but still just the faded remains of what they used to be—William is a remnant too. Much less faded but still just a broken memory. The spirit world affects him a lot because he’s not supposed to be there, or the real world. He’s stuck between both worlds… almost like the memories. He’s in stasis, a remnant of who he used to be and yet still… William I guess. He’s different he’s not the same but he’s still a person? Right?

The spirits and ghosts are just that, they’re verbatim who they were when they died, If not a little more exaggerated, more passionate. They don’t feel gray emotions, everything is some sort of white or black. They’re the same but just more intense. Also interchangeable I can’t think of a difference.

There’s also demons and other monsters, things that have NEVER been human and never will be. They don’t care about humans, they don’t care about spirits. They are their own being.

There’s also souls which are just spirits that have gotten lost in the void, or someone who wasn’t strong enough to manifest as a ghost. They’re like remnants, just a bit more human.
