Foreshadowing

[lunadreamscaper]

god i really hate the way some people treat Katrina and Mary Toast. people can be fyuckin NASTY when it comes to the female/girlypop competition to people's favorite ships.

like u don't have to like the characters but jesus. its always the women that people will depict cruelly or treat cruelly specifically because their competition and its gross.

not to mention the obvious misogyny lol

but tbf every fandom has this problem. i reblogged a post how if Castiel was a girl people would've HATED them lol. that post explains this problem better than i do. but you get the point.

anyways. women existing wont cause your ship to sink, calm down./lh

also the way people dogshat on Ghost x Josh too for similar overlapping reasons lol.

[nyxx-nth]

What? What do you mean this isn't how it happened?

[feathered-moths-ablaze]

Fuck it

Mary and Katrina being Narrative-Haunting Besties that bonded over getting Fucked Over by a member of P.I.E (albeit in different ways and intentions)

[incorrect-vt-quotes]

Toast: Two years ago, I married my best friend. Toast: Mary is still mad about it, but me and Ghost were drunk and thought it was funny.

Taleblr Characters as LPS Pets Part 1 (P.I.E.)

As inspired by @evilmagician430, here’s a list of what LPS animal I think various Taleblr characters would be!

As there are over 3,000+ pets, it’s kinda hard to narrow down which ones suit the characters, so I’ve included several. I’ll try to explain why I chose the ones I did, but some of them were purely just off of vibes so some may not have much of an explanation, oof.

Also, as everyone has a different take on the characters, I encourage anyone interested to share which pets you think the characters would be (I’m sure we’ll all have different answers lol). It’d be cool to see all the different pets everyone thinks suites the characters :3

Due to the sheer amount of characters within the Taleblr universe, I am most likely forgetting several characters. Sorry in advance, as my memory isn't the best ;-;

As there is a limit to 30 images per post, I've had to divide this post into several posts. I've kept them organized, though, and this one is for P.I.E. characters (in honor of P.I.E. Day). The Acachallas will be in the next post!

All of the images used are either from the LPS Collector's Wiki, or from ToySisters.com. The images with the blue backgrounds are from Toy Sisters, along with the 2nd image in Mary's section, and the images with the white background are from the wiki.

List of characters with their respective LPS animal under the cut!

P.I.E. Characters

Johnny Ghost

So LPS #1953 fits Ghost the best, imo. The color palette suites him, and for whatever reason when I look at this pet I just think, “Yeah, that’s literally Ghost.” So there’s that. It's literally Ghost as a cat, idk what else to say. Looks like it is not a physical contact type of pet.

Purely off of vibes, but LPS #1142 could potentially work. Idk, just reminds me of Ghost for whatever reason (I think cause I saw a horse like this irl and it reminded me of Ghost). Looks like it'd bite you if you're pushing its buttons too much, so maybe best not to get on its bad list.

Jimmy Casket

As Jimmy is associated with blood and vampires, I think LPS #1470 is a good match! Besides, bats are pretty cool! I didn’t really see any other pets that I thought would work, though, so it’s just this one for Jimmy. An absolute gremlin. Would probably fly up high and dive-bomb unsuspecting pets.

Gregory Casket

When I think of Gregory, I think of dinosaurs and space. Unfortunately there aren't any dino LPS pets (unless you're counting the birds), but I did find two pets I think would work. LPS #661 works imo because it seems like a younger pet, and it gives energetic younger sibling energy. Wholesome little guy, must be protected.

I could also see LPS #1154 fitting Gregory. I tend to associate greens, blues, and oranges with him, and this gecko has all three. I headcanon that Gregory loves reptiles and amphibians, so I could definitely see him being one in the LPS world. Give it some paper and crayons, and it'll think you're great.

Johnny Toast

When I think of an animal that fits Toast, I’ve always associated him with border collies and huskies for whatever reason, so I think LPS #210 would work well for him! It looks like a dapper gentledog, too, so that’s a plus. Would make the best pancakes, too, I think.

LPS #785 fits, and I think the color palette works as well (there are some other LPS with the same mold that are dark blue, and those could work as well! One of them is LPS #1217).

Gavin Toast

I’ll be honest, I didn’t really see any LPS pets that just screamed Gavin to me, but I think LPS #523 could work! Looks like the type of pet to try to act aloof and mysterious, but secretly just doesn’t want others to get involved.

LPS #55 could also work, as that cat looks like it’d try to con me (that look says it all…). I think of Gavin when I see tuxedo cats anyway, so I guess that's another reason why I think this pet could work.

Jinny Toast

Johnny and Gavin’s sister Jinny is a slightly hard one, as I can not for the life of me remember if we’ve ever seen her in a video (she’s been mentioned a few times, though). So purely going off of headcanon, I think LPS #1209 works well for her! I associate purples with her for whatever reason, so this pet’s colors fit her to me. Seems like a pet with tons of ambition, who isn't afraid to speak what's on its mind.

LPS #815 suites her as well! Something about the dark gray mixed with the little bits of the light blue here and there gives me Jinny vibes.

Mary Toast

It was hard to narrow down what pet I think best suites Mary, as I found several. That being said, I think that LPS #347 works best. It looks like a confident, fun-loving pet, and its coloring matches what I headcanon her hair and eye colors to be :3

I could also see her being LPS #69 from the newest line. I just think it gives Mary vibes, idk. Sorry for the picture being so small; couldn't find one that was bigger :(

Fred Spooker

I have always associated Spooker with cats, so that’s why I think LPS #1521 is a perfect match! While the pet itself doesn’t automatically have the pink beanie, it did come with its set! As with the cat for Ghost, this pet just screams Spooker to me.

I could also see LPS #511 working for them, as I think the color palette and markings fit Spooker’s aesthetic!

While rather basic, I think LPS #2034 would also match, as I think of yellow tabbies regarding Spooker :3

Chris “Colon” Ghostie

There were a few pets (albeit repetitive) that I thought could work for Colon, but I ultimately landed with LPS #1602. This bear just makes me think of Colon a lot, and it seems like it’d be a cool pet to be around! Probably very logical as well (Chris is the most logical one of P.I.E. after all).

LPS #366 could work as well, mainly due to the color palette (I heavily associate purples, blues, and greens with Colon). Seems like a chill pet to be around. Would definitely want to hang out with it. Could have some interesting conversations with it, I'm sure.

Woah

Maybe because she is a ghost and floats around wherever she goes, bit I tend to think of birds representing Woah. Due to this association with birds, along with Woah's color palette, I think that LPS #1650 is a good match! This pet also gives me Woah vibes, idk. It seems polite but shy. (While not pictured, LPS #372 is a pet from the same mold that I think could fit Woah, too. It has brighter colors than LPS #1650, but it's still pink, blue, and purple.)

I could also see LPS #1660 fitting. It looks like a sweet younger sister who likes to be with others, but also gives me shy vibes. Definitely suits Woah, imo.

Johnny Boast

I don't exactly have a lot to say about Boast, oof. But for whatever reason, I think that LPS #1191 fits Boast a lot. It seems like the type of pet that's somewhat reserved but once you get to know it, it's got quite the sense of humor. A good vibes pet for sure. Would definitely want to be friends with this pet.

I could also see LPS #650 working for Boast. Idk, when I look at it it reminds me of him a lot, so there's that. I think it's the colors, but I'm not quite sure. This pet seems loyal and calm, which are attributes I see Boast having.

Johnny Roast

I didn't really know how to choose a pet for Roast, so I decided to choose his based off of vibes. With that, LPS #753 gives me major Roast vibes to the point that this is a case where this pet is literally just him. Can't really explain it, but yeah. Probably a prankster, and was definitely the class clown when he was in high school.

Dark Pit

Since there isn't a lot to go off of with Dark Pit when it comes to canon, I'm relying on my own take of the character for choosing what pet I think works for him. I usually associate blacks, purple, yellows, and blues with them, and that definitely influenced what pet I chose. That said, I think that LPS #2708 would work well for his angelic form. I wanted to stick to a pet that could fly, then I remembered that there was a LPS fairy line. This pet looks like a sparkle dog, and sparkle dogs are cool; Dark Pit is cool, so they get to a sparkle dog.

For his human form, or in this case animal form, I think that LPS #1748 is a good fit. This pet gives me vibes that it would be the type to constantly observe/watch other pets, which would fit along with an angel watching over humans (animals in this case). Like, you're at a party and this pet is just in the corner sipping punch and observing everyone. Mysterious. Totally not trying to see how it should interact with the others.

William Barricade

If I'm remembering things correctly, wasn't it stated that William Barricade used to be a member of the OG P.I.E. (like, when Boast, Roast, Pit, etc. were around)? I just remember that he was part of P.I.E. in the past, but he quit (not on bad terms or anything, though). Anyway, I think that LPS #61 suits him a lot. Idk why, but I feel like he'd definitely be a German shepherd if he was an animal. I don't really have much to say about him, sorry ;-;

Katrina

As there is very little info about Katrina in canon, my picks for what LPS pet she would be are probably going to be different than what's expected? (Idk what the general consensus surrounding her is, oof.) That being said, I think that LPS #2135 works well for Katrina, as its color palette makes me think of her and the pet gives me similar vibes to who Katrina is (at least according to my headcanons). This pet seems friendly, but it also looks like someone that I wouldn't want to be on bad terms with, you know? Seems really smart, but maybe a bit too kind to people for its own good, putting others before itself.

I also think that LPS #879 would be a good match, as it gives me vibes that it would be a friendly pet who has a good sense of humor, and also likes learning new things. Also, for whatever reason, I associate sheep with Katrina? I genuinely don't know why I do, but for as long as I've known of her I have.

Jenny Ghost

Idk what all to say about Jenny Ghost, but I honestly can't remember much about her? I know her and Jenny Toast showed up in 2 or 3 videos, but I can only vaguely remember 1 :( Anyway, I associate grays, pinks, and purples with her, as well as cats, so I think that LPS #1921 fits her well. Coincidentally this pet is from the same mold as the pet I chose for Johnny Ghost. This pet gives me sassy girlboss vibes, lol. Could probably have some of the most thought-provoking conversations followed by the most mind-baffling ones with this pet.

Jenny Toast

Like I mentioned for Jenny Ghost, I unfortunately don't really know a lot about Jenny Toast :( That being said, she seems like such a cool, fun person to interact with. They would probably try to get me involved in some wacky shenanigans, and I for one would probably be down to join. Anyway, I think that LPS #1676 fits Jenny Toast well! I associate her with purples, blues, and blacks, as well with dogs and rabbits. This pet also just gives me Jenny vibes. It seems very polite but also like a bit of a troublemaker. Very fitting of Jenny Toast, if you ask me. (This may be me misremembering, but wasn't Jenny slightly a prankster in the videos they were featured in?)

I can't upload the image of this next pet due to the 30 image limit on posts, but I think that the LPS Kohl's Rabbit could also work for Jenny! It's a white bunny with light blue accents, and it reminds me of Jenny Toast a lot for whatever reason.

🎶?

for VT/taleblr in general i think a lot of lemon demon's discography fits it well, especially the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny. and the next dimension. both of these songs are kind of homestuck-y too now that i think about it

sibling rivalry by pup is a really good acachalla family song, as well as kids by the same artist.

similarly i think touch tone telephone and ancient aliens are good P.I.E. songs.

i actually have full playlists for some characters- some on my youtube page, and some are kind of just in my head. if i had to narrow down the songs for each character it would be like this

toast - evacuate the dancefloor by cascada, i am not a robot by marina and the diamonds, kaleidoskull by lemon demon, ravers in the UK, take it off by ke$ha, are you satisfied by marina and the diamonds, so its like half sad amv music and half music i think he would actually listen to. people forget hes not just some prim and proper brit, hes also a hard drinking party boy.

ghost- problems by mother mother, bloodeater by mom/girls rituals/cats millionaire/devi mccallion, flight of the crows by jhariah, oh oh oh sexy vampire by disko warp, jerma meatgrinder remix??(if this also includes jimmy casket songs) haunted by laura les, and uh fuck it bad blood by creature feature. and ofc secret by the pierces.

maddiefriend - crazy town by marz mitzi, doktorspiele, best friend by toy-box, prescription by msi, bill watterson by lemon demon, weird science by oingo boingo, serial contraption of malice by ghostie-p, and magical doctor by maretu.

sally - the end by lil uzi vert and babymetal, gimme chocolate by babymetal, mommy's little monsters by creature feature, dead bodies everywhere by korn, IT GIRL by aliyah's interlude, ready to die by andrew w.k., chu chu lovely muni muni mura mura, little girls by oingo boingo, barbie girl, when i grow up by the pussycat dolls, etc.

sue - woof woof by arthur, i cant handle change by roar, 1989 by msi, entomologists (original version) by ghost/ghostie-p/marz mitzi (i forget how they went by at the time of releasing that song), good news by the garden, my alcoholic friends by the dresden dolls, bloody mary-kate and ashley by pup, and ummm no specific song but i think she would listen to korn

billy - fin fin come and see him, butterfly by smile.dk, girl you need a shot of b12, september dark planet by arthur, walking by steampianist, still feel by half alive, gangnam style nightcore by psy, lego racers ost main menu and also the building mode music, boyfriend by big time rush, tbh i just get a lot of eurodance and boyband vibes from him. there are SOME songs that make me think of him in like an amv way but not many

sadly i must admit gertrude and papa i dont imagine amvs of them often. to any songs. except maybe aim for the head by creature feature, i feel like thats a gertrude song. same w spooker chris and any other characters i didnt mention. i simply do not think of them that much while im listening to music. sad!

spencer (main course - i have an entire playlist for him but i'll try to trim it down in this post) - karkat's theme from the homestuck ost, black hole by steampianist, eighth wonder by lemon demon, cabinet man by lemon demon, evil me by arthur, september by the living tombstone i think? the brony song. welcome to kitty city by cyriak, cat hacks by lemon demon, the machine by lemon demon, the blind prophet from the homestuck ost, the 'you are an idiot!' song from that one computer virus, the first watamote ending song, want you gone from portal 2, waiting for the world to end by mother mother, buried alive by creature feature, stupid stupid world by talking kitty cat, weekly shonen bye-bye by pinocchio-p, alphys from the undertale ost, ode to crayola by lemon demon, just monika from the ddlc ost, not safe from the off ost, christmas kids by roar, here we are from the undertale ost, awoken by h8 seed ft woodentoaster, hole-dwelling by kikuo, amygdala's ragdoll by ghost, faget by korn, evolution by korn, and oxidation and dream monsters by ghostie-p. boom. thats basically the meat of my spencer playlist.

i just remembered i also have a cywren caster playlist but im gonna limit myself to gmod roleplay characters cause im tired of typing and i dont think anyone cares anyways. if u do though check my youtube channel O.K. much love bye

[overthinkingtaleblr]

do you think soulmates exist in the vt cinematic multiuniverse...

Y’know, I don’t normally touch Soulmate stuff so I’m not entirely sure how it works, but I know it’s kind of this idea that there’s someone out there that like. Makes your life feel more complete with them in it, and this is often taken romantically, and conceptually this is the implication that there is a perfect person for everybody out in the world. Idk something like that…

I think Ghost and Toast definitely have a connection that is beyond like. Any Type of relationship, they basically can’t function without each other because if they’re not together they’re too busy worrying about the other one.. There’s this MASSIVE theme between the two of them throughout their entire lives of being forcefully separated and fighting to stay connected, though I do genuinely think Toast and Mary’s marriage wasn’t discounted by their connection at all.

Papa is always telling Gertrude to leave but he always goes to her when he’s excited about an idea because i think, ultimately, even if he doesn’t love her like a married couple, he still loves her input and reactions and having her there to give feedback.

We haven’t really seen ghosts who are married in the afterlife, in fact Chakalata seems to have been divorced multiple times… There is an argument to be made about the Housekeeper’s polyamorous god parents basically fusing together into one being out of their love for each other. They’re an actual pantheon for this world and they’re literal soulmates—

I think conceptually there is an idea of soulmates, especially in the circles who believe in the Housekeeper’s pantheon (like Ghost, who has met the Housekeeper on multiple occasions and knows the man’s family history more than his own.), but I also think that soulmates being an active thing of the universe like a soulmate au isn’t happening. Like, if there ARE soulmates, I don’t think people are aware of it just yet.

[james-casket]

god bless all you new followers who haven’t seen my sad toast family headcanon/au

[ze-doktar-is-here]

Part 3

[rielohel]

I want to write a fic specifically highlighting how complicated I think the relationship between Ghost and Mary is.

Mary doesn’t like Ghost. She is polite and civil with him, and she’s come to accept that as long as she wants to be with Toast, Ghost is going to be in her life. It’s not that it’s anything necessarily personal against Ghost as an individual. She just knows that he tends to be reckless and Toast will do literally anything to help him. She doesn’t really dislike Ghost for who he is, but rather the fact that he poses a danger to her husband. And she loves him or whateva and doesn’t want anything happening to him. She’s worried that Toast’s care for Ghost is being taken advantage of, and then Ghost doesn’t care when Toast puts himself in danger.

Ghost, on the other hand, tends to act bitter to Mary SOLELY because he knows how she feels about him and it makes him defensive. His biggest conflict is wanting to not like her back, but having a really hard time with it because she really is such an amazing person. He wants to hate her back but genuinely can’t, because he sees how happy she makes Toast and he thinks she’s really good for him. He doesn’t want to be any kind of trouble to the two of them, he just needs his best friend sometimes. And he’s very adamantly AGAINST Toast dropping everything to come help him with stuff, Toast is just very insistent on it yet it always gets pinned on Ghost when something bad happens. Kinda like an “it’s only when you’re around” type thing.

This is just kinda a rough outline of how I see their relationship with each other maybe being and I’ll probably tweak it a bit. But FEEL FREE to let me know your guys’ thoughts and what I should change or reconsider. Or if you just completely disagree with me let me know that too LMAO.

I want to know more about the general consensus of how characters not directly connected together interact and feel about each other. I AM CURIOUS LET ME KNOW even if it’s not Ghost and Mary specifically just let me know your vaguely related pair interactions.

[dehliman]

i would love to know your personal VT canon specifically the p.i.e stuff!!! im so interested, your art and designs that ive seen are outstanding and i find it hilarious that both of us seriously just looked at vt and went 'yup this is mine now' and SPRINTED with it. i love that everyone in one way or another, seems to be putting new life into something that holds a place in a lot of peoples hearts and i wish there were more of us

YES!! I am a huge supporter of “these characters are mine,” AND “there’s characters are yours,” IN ADDITION to, “these characters are OURS,” because they mean so much to people

So I’ll gladly give little dribbles about each of the P.I.E. members! Hopefully without doing too much.

[Uhm. Hi, I’m who is like to call “post-post” Miles here to say this was going to be a bulletin post, but turned into a brief rundown of my P.I.E. lore… so… yes]

[[HEY it’s post “post-post” Miles. This is 1,300 words excluding the foot-note. Whoops]]

Johnny “Simon Casket” Ghost was born in 1990 to Gregory and Stacie Casket. They developed DID after their mother’s death (and other… inciting traumas) forming the alters Gregory and Johnny. Simon was AFAB but he and Johnny both identify as male. Gregory prefers to ‘not identify’.

Simon was sent to live with their grandparents, but along the way was stranded in North Carolina where they were then found by an off-duty officer. They lied about where their grandparent’s apartment complex was and managed to run away until eventually being found in an abandoned house, luckily before it was to be demolished.

They were then adopted by Timothy Woods and fiancée, at the time, so technically Johnny Ghost’s legal name is Simon Woods. He insists everyone calls him, at the very least, Johnny.

He met Toast around middle school and they were close up until high school, when Toast was sent to boarding school, where they remained penpals. During Ghost’s school years alone, he would meet Katrina, and though his memories of her are very hazy he remembers she was important, just not what happened to her or why they stopped talking.

Ghost worked what jobs he could to support himself and his parents throughout his school career, keeping in mind college and his dream of being a paranormal investigator. This barely slowed down in college, where he and Toast attended the same university.

After college, Ghost and Toast officially form P.I.E. previously known as just P.I. … Ghost was ecstatic to be able to add “extraordinaire,” to their acronym.

The only members at this time were Ghost, Toast and his fiancée at the time, Mary.

~~~

Johnathan Toast and Gavin Toast were both born in 1988 to Johnathan Toast Sr. (A very funny name,) and their yet-to-be-named mother. Their father died when they were both five leaving them, their grandmother, and their mom with a newborn, Audrey.

Three years later, their mother was arrested leaving the kids with their grandmother until they were eventually separated, none of them able to keep in contact with one another until later in life. Audrey went on to become a police officer, Gavin did his best to continue his father’s research, and Toast went into paranormal investigation.

With his fiancée and best friend, the first few years were easy- as easy as ghosts and demons are. Those years had a very notable turning point when Mary died in a car accident, not long after being married to Toast. It sent a spiral through the entire organization until it very nearly fell apart. P.I.E. ended up closing up, only responding to cases that could be handled by one person without issue. Ghost had to start working more part times again while Toast did his best to keep himself and the company going.

Eventually they had to shut down completely, with Toast out of action and Ghost barely keeping himself together between taking care of his friend, working, and his own mental health. Luckily, they did manage to reopen, and Toast did heal.

He and Ghost worked together to finish the books they were writing before the “break,” adding to and outselling their previously published works. This is a very tangential point in the timeline, but I just really like to think about them both putting work behind the published books. Ghost wrote most of it and created illustrations to go with it and Toasted edited, revised, and added to it.

…

I don’t know how to say this without it being very sudden and without saying too much.

The P.I.E HQ burns down. Which sucks on its own, but sucks double hard because Toast and Ghost were literally living in their HQ in the apartment upstairs and basement.

Good news! After it burns down and they’re both thrown back into having to scrape up money to keep the business up, they end up hiring help.

With a new, smaller, office building as a constant between Ghost and Toast’s many hotel rooms before finding a shitty apartment, and the extra work they have to put in to keep things afloat, they can’t always go on missions together.

So, when Ghost was being taken to his next hunt, his all-too-friendly driver couldn’t help but notice his equipment and offer a helping hand… and Ghost couldn’t refuse, no matter how much he really earnestly wanted to, because he quite literally could not carry in his equipment alone.

What Ghost thought would just be a random dude helping set up his things turned into a very eager want to be hunter following his heels through the building until he, surprising everyone involved, was hired.

Hello, Collin!

Collin’s introduction to the team is very much the same. Ghost’s driver who was roped in to help then ended up sticking around. But they’re different because they’re actually my OC, I don’t know if you knew.

Collin Rose, born 1994, with two older siblings and one younger sister, as well as their half brother, Spencer (another story of its own…) was always skeptical of the paranormal, but it wasn’t until they were out on their own in North Carolina that they really started to invest in the idea, though never acting on it.

They offer a really fresh coat of paint, if you would, to P.I.E. bringing their own life experiences and completely different view of the world to help influence their investigating. They’re easy to teach, but still manage to get on Ghost’s nerves… which isn’t very surprising, since that is not hard.

Don’t know where else to put this, but then joining P.I.E. is what brings back the, albeit cosmetic, title of “P.I.” … which sounds exactly the same as PIE, so means nothing to anyone but the members of PIE. It’s on the badge, though!

…

Now Fred!!

Frederick “Fred,” Hart, [very surprised I don’t have a birth year for him], “Fred,” to all but his mother, who calls him “Derrick.”

Fred wasn’t raised with a particular set of spiritual world views, so he grew up as a kid wholly obsessed with the idea of ghosts just based on the fact that they’re really cool.

Of course, that kind of belief never really taught him how dangerous ghouls could really be so they’re, reasonably, afraid of actual ghosts. Still, that didn’t stop him from running straight to send in an application when he saw PIE was hiring.

He had been watching them for a while. There was a local news segment done about them years ago that Fred still has recorded somewhere. That’s what really sent him into dreaming about being just like the ghost hunters on TV.

He went into PIE with an air of idolization towards Ghost and Toast but was quickly disillusioned when he was a part of the team. Ghost was rude and Toast was different than what he imagined. Ghosts and demons were terrifying and didn’t just push glasses around and make things creak. It was disheartening until he started seeing past the crushed expectations and to how Ghost and Toast were… just some guys. He’d see Ghost sneak a few doughnuts Collin brought for everyone and he’d watch Toast spill the coffee he was trying to bring to Collin, and everything just becomes a lot more real and a lot less scary.

… and also PIE gave him the nickname Spooker, which he cherishes with everything he is. Only second to Ghost, specifically, calling him “Spooks,”

…

And then Ghost leaves without any notice.

This post is already way longer than I wanted it to be, so I’ll just say very quickly that Ghost’s “retirement arc,” happens maybe a month or two after Fred’s hiring and it causes a big shift in how PIE operates. They very nearly go under again while Toast tries to be a boss while also trying to be nice, while also doing his best to train two new hires in a dangerous field on his own, all after his best friend abandoned him. xoxo

If this is incomprehensible, I’m so sorry. I really care about what I’ve made in my head and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little defense about sharing it all. But there are story arcs that tie everything together better than this post can.

Important to note that Jimmy is still a thing, I just didn’t mention him for the sake of simplicity. In my “mind place,” he is a demon that is haunting Ghost. He is NOT an alter.

Simon and Gregory, both Ghost’s actual alters, are not evil. They don’t kill, they don’t try and hurt people, they are themselves.

And, yes, the Spencer mentioned is Spencer Acachalla. His name is now Spencer Atkinson but the Atkinsons are a very different story.

If you’ve read all the way through this, I don’t know what else to say other than just thank you for indulging me in my brain circus

Toast and Mary if she lived, let’s be honest :/

I understand that TECHNICALLY Toast got his pink car from his grandma and I understand that TECHNICALLY he says it’s not pink it’s a light red and/or rose.

But

I love the idea of him driving around Mary’s car :( like for sentimental purposes. Imagine she like, really loved her car and he can’t stand the thought of it rotting in his garage but he also can’t bear to part with it. So sometimes he just drives around in Mary’s car to keep it running. Idk just an idea let me know if it’s stupid.

Ps.

I love Mary.
