Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Rhonda Rosen - Blog Posts
Rhonda finally feels safe enough to take her first nap in decades and wakes up under a pile of jackets; a letterman, a denim zip up, brown suede, and a band uniform jacket
I’m so serious PLEASE somebody message me if you want to roleplay Schoo Spirits I’m foaming at the mouth PLEASE
Wally punched the shit out of that creep for Rhonda 🥹
I needed them to kiss 3 episodes ago actually
Although School Spirits is rated as TV-M, it isn't too graphic or dark in certain aspects (except for the obvious death/murder). It's considered a supernatural teen drama, but can you imagine if there was a darker aspect to the spirits' deaths? the little things from each of their deaths that linger with them in limbo?
On the rare occasions when Wally's quiet, people can hear the sound of bone grinding against bone when he swivels his head.
Sometimes Charley speaks with a rasp, his voice laced with a wheeze like he can't really breathe.
Rhonda will occasionally bleed from her head, the fabric of her hat dented and matted with a dark spot. Don't stand too close, you might see the bruising underneath her turtleneck that eerily looks like a hand.
The smell of smoke, singed hair, and skin linger around Mr. Martin and Janet. There are times when they don't speak much, their throat itchy and tired from coughing due to smoke inhalation. Blink and you might miss the pink rashes and blisters that appear on their skin.
Periodically, Quinn and the band kids have road-rashed band uniforms, their instruments bent/dented, and shards of glass embedded in their skin and clothes.
This one's more lighthearted: The sound and faint feeling of buzzing grow the closer you stand next to Dawn. If given the chance, she can shock the other ghosts by poking them; she giggles when they flinch.
Will revisit when Yuri's death is revealed :(
s3 pls give me rhonda and simon crashing out together, they deserve it
A fic set in the aftermath of 02x08 where Janet tries to reintegrate back into the ghost gang after everything that happened and how it’s not all rainbows and sunshine and easy because people are messy is calling my name
It Was Always Worth It
Wally Clark had never felt such conviction or anguish in all his life or death than when he uttered, wholly broken and entirely sure, “Go.”
Tears ran boldly down his face, and his still chest shuddered painfully.
Maddie Nears, the love of his afterlife, had set her blue eyes on him and there were no words between them.
SEASON 2 SPOILERS!!!!
My take on the finale and why the main couple didn't even SPEAK during their goodbye. This is my first ever lil one shot and my duty in participating in this growing fandom and contributing to the small amount of fanfic <3 Please check it out here!!
MORE QUINN X RHONDA ART (btw I'm not good at art and especially not at drawing girls 😭 please forgive me for it)
Let’s Dance came on in public and I had to restrain myself from breaking into the dance 🥲
SEASON THREE SEASON THREE SEASON THREE
School Spirits Episode 8 Thoughts
This is sooo long and in no particular order but I NEED to talk about this show with someone i’m going feral.
1) okay If you told me last season that Xavier would be one of my favorite characters I would’ve laughed in your face. But the way he just waved at Maddie’s dad at the end and was like “oh yeah btw I met your dead dad” was absolutely king behavior. He’s so dumb and I love him.
2) I am really hoping Wally did not cross over?? He said in season one he didn’t want to go like Dawn and he wanted a chance to say goodbye. I can’t give up the ghosts found family yet.
3) I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS SO DANGEROUS ABOUT THIS SCHOOL. WHY WERE THE LIGHTS RED!??! WHAT IS MR. MARTIN SO AFRAID OF!?!! I love a good mystery and I feel like I have nothing to go off of on this. Please share any theories. Like yes, Mr. Martin, I am and have been wondering why so many people die at this school for two whole seasons! Please tell me!
4) I feel like Simon and Maddie will kinda switch places in season 3? I’m guessing Maddie will be able to Simon, and Simon is stuck in the ghost world (for some reason?) so…
5) I feel like we have escaped the possibility of ahh of the new ghosts betraying the gang, but @/amphibiafanatic on TikTok brought up the point that Quinn is not one of the band kids named in season 1. I was rewatching with a friend yesterday and also thought it was weird, but didn’t think anything of it until they mentioned that Yuri was mentioned in S1 so they obviously had plans for these characters, and why not just make Quinn’s name one of the mentioned kids?
6) I think this is a pretty common idea, but I really don’t think the exit doors lead to the ghosts truly crossing over. If there really is something wrong with this school, these exits doors seem fairly suspicious.
7) The boxes with the clues that were sent to the influences had a note saying there was one final box. My fingers are crossed that it’s a box announcing a season 3? They seem to have been pretty public about how successful this season was, and awesomenessTV seems pretty involved with all the press release and cast posts for them not to renew it?
8) Charley still has no last name. 🥲
9) Janet. Oh Janet. I love you so.
10) we’re not gonna talk about the mess I was when Maddie was saying goodbye. I can’t do goodbyes. I’ve never made it through a found family goodbye without sobbing my eyes out. This one was sooo rough for me gang.
Anyways, I really enjoyed the finale although I really wish we wrapped up a little bit more. I know the point of this season was for Maddy to get her body back, which was accomplished, but I feel like I have a lot more questions than I did at the end of season one!
When I first watched School Spirits (about a week before season 2 came out) I went on ao3 after I finished and my jaw dropped when I saw less than 100 fics TOTAL. I was so confused because after being in fandoms like JATP and Dead Boy Detectives that have thousands but got cancelled after one season I was like “surely this show with a confirmed second season should have lots of fandom surrounding it!” and THEN I found out that 3/4 of those 95 fics were reader x Wally and I have absolutely nothing against x readers I just don’t read them. I was just so dumbfounded by this and I don’t know why and I needed to break my silence on it. Anyways I need more angsty fics and fics about the ghosts being best friends.
SCHOOL SPIRITS EPISODE 7 SPOILERS
are we not going to talk about how heartbreaking the scene with Rhonda realizing she was dead was? like she’s so cynical and strong the entire show and this was so vulnerable. oh my god she was breaking my heart in that scene.
I desperately want to know if any of the ghosts have siblings. I know Janet had a brother, but are Rhonda, Wally, Charley, Dawn, Quinn, and Yuri all only children? Idk what I would do with that information, I just think it’s even sadder if they left a sibling behind 🥲
Ik people usually don’t post their edits on here but I was absolutely obsessed with the dance scene from episode 6 and I lowkey love the edit I made, so here it is!
If Maddie is able to go back to her body and has to leave the ghosts the “You’re Gonna Go Far” edits are gonna go so hard.
Wally “why didn’t you just break the glass” Clark 💀
Episode 5 needs to give Charley a last name 🥲
Me when episode 5 of School Spirits comes out tomorrow 🥰🥰🥰
wally is missing and he didn't cross over
simon is dead
ooh bodysnatching case #3
Look I know we’re not getting shit with the episode count now a days but obsessed with flashbacks to the people the ghosts loved in life. Like let them haunt the narrative PLEASE
Janet whose father spirals, always thinking of how he could have saved her if he forced her to stop. Getting worse and worse, doubling down on his beliefs even as he crumbles. Her brother, forced into the role she dreamed of. Knowing that every step he takes leaves her bloody footprints behind him. How she feels so forgettable but her shadow has been at every one of her family’s shoulder for decades. Her father dying at the hand of incompetence and feeling her fingers dig into his flesh knowing she would have been great. That his faith in a twisted falsity won’t forgive him. The eyes in the fire burn their skin and scorch their pride.
Rhonda who so clearly left love behind. Her best friend seeing her in every blur in her peripheral. How the lyrics turn acidic in her mouth, how she hears a snort and “seriously, cherry pop?” every time but her voice is so, so hoarse. How the gravel in her own burns like hands on her own skin. Rhonda who stuck her classmates to the core. It had to be her fault, had to be, or else it could be them. Or it could be theirs. Rhonda who is swept away but holds an iron grip on their shoulders. Who watches over every failure with the surety that she would have been better. Her parents, crushed under the loss of the only good thing they ever did. Marjorie’s voice lingers and generations feel her fingers over their throat; a lost mystery that drags them forward.
Wally being the fragility of their own lives. Untouchable and above it all, dying in an instant with a broken neck and the promises he was made. The future they were so sure he had, the way he could have made it. But no one knew him. Every story is empty, every memory wrong, he’s forgotten even with a thousand retellings and a blaring stadium named after him. His mother standing in the moment he had. Lost in a split second loop even as decades move past her. How he moves on before they do, haunting because of what they lost in him and no one remembering what he lost for himself. A life lived and mourned for others.
Charley who was swept under the rug. Who no one wants to think of. Who makes them consider their cruelty, they humanity. Who died surrounded by people, knowing they coaxed him into death with kicks and laughs. How an accidental death with no murderer is still a trial of human cruelty. Emilio, aching for years at his own naivety, trying to be better, to make it better for the next Charley. Except Charley is always there (actually this time) and he still can’t hold on. Moving on and feeling every breath stolen from someone else’s lungs. How one boy meant nothing and said so much about people who never saw him. His parents, asked the question of would they rather a dead or gay son but knowing there was never a choice cause they were one and the same and maybe that’s their fault. Emilio holding his husband, seeing baby Charlie on the monitor, knowing a part of him will never not be 17.
Idk if any of this made sense but just give me the people left behind, let them have an impact. I’m losing my mind
RHONDA!!!! I really struggle drawing her hat and I have no idea y lol
So…
just finished season 2 of School Spirits and um… WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT SHIT?
Maddie’s back in her body
Xavier can see ghosts apparently
Simon’s in a scar
And Wally (my beautiful husband) has the opportunity to move on.
Long story short, I need season three to be out yesterday before MY BRAIN BREAKS
oh my freaking goodness, I cannot simply go on tumblr without getting SEASON TWO FINALE SPOILERS. NO OK I HAVENT SEEN IT YET BECAUSE I’M SCARED OF IT TBH. I WANT TO WATCH IT BUT AT THE SAME TIME I DON’T BUT I’M SICK OF HAVING TO RUN AWAY FROM POSTS BC OF THE SPOILERS I’m literally dead ☠️😭😭
edit: just watched it yesterday my life is changed 4/21/24
Wally would imagine his worm life having plants as breakfast every morning for the rest of their lives
I keep seeing those “what ifs” on TikTok and it’s peeving me that every single one for Rhonda is something SHE needed to change. “What if she never got into Berkeley?” “What if she never went to his office that day?”
How about what if Mr. Manfredo wasn’t a predator 😭😭 how about what if he didn’t strangle her for not returning his feelings??? We JUST learned that her classmates blamed her for her death we should not be doing the same
