Jack and Maddie have realized something horrifying. Their son is being possessed by a dangerous ghost, and has been for some time. They don’t know exactly how long, but looking back, the signs had been for a while.

His strange reactions to their ghost hunting inventions, his new habit of vanishing from his room (or even from school) randomly, his sudden decline in grades, and a million other small things. The issues had gotten worse recently, but had been present for some time. It painted a grim picture. Had he been fighting it this whole time, the ghost gradually wearing away at his will?

No, that can be worried about later. First things first, they’re going to forcibly evict the monster and make sure that no ghost will ever be able to take over his body again.

…meanwhile, Danny is panicking with his friends about his newest foe. A remarkably powerful ghost who stole his body and keeps thwarting every attempt to take it back. Even beyond the typical dangers of a powerful ghost being out and about, its actions could end up revealing him!

unfortunately i am still going on ab this but

vs

or even

LIKE DAMNNN. the fact that GAIA REALINI (no shade to gaia i love you gaia) is standing closer to lotte than demi is kind of insane 😭😭 but not even just the isolated rancid vibes… i feel like it’s made even worse by the fact that demi seems to be a very touchy person at least w lotte? of course case in point that strade 23 and tdff 23 podium but also

the photos of them at the tour and demi actively leaning in to lotte (i’ve also noticed that lotte tends to universally do the little hand around waist thing for everyone but demi likes to put her arm around lotte’s shoulder? maybe i’m not looking close enough at others but it seems like demi is pretty comfortable w casual physical intimacy in a way that lotte might not be at least in front of cameras) ?? also that photoshoot, demi sort of naturally positions herself closer to lotte than others— looking at the rest of the shoot it seems like she’s just naturally more like that with most people but knowing that THEN looking at romandie. shit went downn but we all knew this 😔😔

Snippet Sunday Thursday

I was tagged by the lovely @tragediegh! Sorry for the delay in doing this. I was not home at the time and completely forgot about this once I came back!

But the timing actually worked out nicely, because this week I started editing the WIP I've been working on since January. So here's a little snippet from the first chapter :)

“Is that where your ambitions lie these days, then? Do you still… Do you see Dreams?” “Whatever do you mean?” the Fool asked. Playing coy, as if we did not both know the precise reason for my concern. When I refused a reply, he continued softly, “Everyone dreams, Fitz. These days all the more so. How could they not? If legends such as dragons and Elderlings can return to shape the world anew, then why couldn’t the futile hopes of a man come true as well? It is only natural to be seduced by the air of new possibilities. I, too, find myself with dreams both old and new, ones that I had never dared to consider before.” He glanced at me with a teasing twist of a smile. I was not amused. “That is not what I asked.” “Yet it is what I chose to answer.” The self-satisfied smirk did nothing to stop me from scowling, and I pressed that dark glare at him until he gave up and sighed in resignation. “No, Fitz, the response you seek is ‘no’. I have not seen any Dreams since Aslevjal. My time as the White Prophet ended upon my death, and my dreams are no different from yours now. But enough of that. Let us not waste this lovely ride on a subject so dull.”

Ok while all of our hearts are collectively breaking, I wanted to share a little irl story that I think about whenever I reread LTHY. When one of my best friends, who suffers from anxiety, started seeing her now husband, I asked her mom what she thought of him. And she told me she thought he was perfect for my bestie because "he's so patient with her." And that just really stuck with me because that's not a compliment you hear about people, especially men, often. You'd be more likely to hear something like, "he takes such good care of her" or something like that... but patient? What a beautiful thing to be for another person. To be someone who gives someone else the support, time, space, and compassion to work through things on their own. To show them love, respect, and acceptance of who they are.

Anyways, whenever I read LTHY I always think of this moment because Jungkook is just so patient with OC and it really is so beautiful. Despite the tough ending to this most recent chapter, he was so patient with her when he came to pick her up at the mall and as she tried on her outfits. Even as she was fighting with him outside of his parents house, he was so patient and understanding, knowing that it was probably her anxiety and trauma talking. And our poor OC can feel it, and is frustrated by it, hence her screaming "why are you like this?!". Because she doesn't feel like someone who is deserving of patience, so it doesn't make sense to her. But she does deserve it and I hope that eventually she can love herself enough to accept his patience.

Are there things that both OC and Jungkook need to personally work on for the sake of their well-being as well as their relationship? A thousand percent. But what I really want is for OC to stop shaming herself for the way she is. She already feels really badly about herself due to her experience with Jaehwa, but I think an important thing this chapter highlighted was that she's compounding that with feeling horrible about herself for how she's reacted to that trauma and how it affects the way she behaves in her current relationship. She can't erase that trauma from her past completely, so my wish for her is the self-acceptance that she may be just someone who needs a little more assurance and patience while she's working through that trauma.... and more importantly that she's deserving of someone who is willing to accept her with those scars and meet those needs. But until she's receptive to it and feels she's deserving of it, all of the patience in the world won't be enough unfortunately. Giving someone else patience is really extraordinary, but it's even more extraordinary to be accepting of deserving patience.

oh my god i think i reread this ask over and over again because i genuinely never thought that anyone would analyse my story so much in depth !! im so so so flattered and amazed oh wow 🥹🥹

i definitely agree with you anon!! youre really pointing out some of the few things i really tried to hint at in the chapter! oc says it herself too actually both in the chapter "How even if you tried, he remained patient with you." and here. jk's patience surprises her over and over again. in the end, i think just because of his seemingly unwavering patience jk is able to be so understanding and empathetic towards oc. and its exactly that patience that oc cant accept because of what happened with jaehwa and her. they broke up just like that. there was no time, no patience. she was dropped like a hot potato and told to move on just like that.

i think even more than that its glaringly obvious also that oc never really offers herself any kind of patience. she gets so in her head and critises herself so much, how could she possibly go ahead and accept jk's patience?

both of them have a lot to figure out and i genuinely feel for oc so much because god knows that shes been through enough.

thank you so much for sending this in 💓 reading your take was so interesting and warmed my heart in ways you cant understand because i really wanted to get these things across !! thanks so much 💕
