So, like most people, I've been to Disneyland as a child, and the Haunted Mansion was one of the rides. I do not remember most of the ride, but two memories made me say "Hey, do you remember this moment in the ride?"
And these two moments were:
1. The Stretching Room
From memory, I remember seeing the stretching posts revealing the cause of deaths (well, Constance's darker side), and while I didn't remember the Ghost Host's dialogue, I remember his laugh and his skeleton up on the roof. Strangely enough, I always thought the GH's skeleton was a bed sheet and not his body, thinking it was a ghost looking down on people and ready to scare you. (Maybe it's because I remember the Soviet cartoon "Malish and Karlson" where Karslon dressed up as a ghost to scare some burglars stealing clothes)
For those who are curious (it's in Russian): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8XL0BZ5Ozs
2. Madame Leota
Through the dark ride, I remember Madame Leota in her crystal ball. There is not much else about it, but I definitely remember her.
Now, another question I had, was I scared during the ride? I do not know, and neither do my parents. Maybe I assumed I was a little frightened of "Ghost Host's way" but also curious, maybe I said, "Look a ghost!" (I know I'm a strange kid lol)
Yeah, only two memories, I haven't been to Disneyland in so long tbh and I had plans to revisit (until Disney sent money to the country that is committing a crime against humanity..). But who's to say Youtube didn't help me refresh the memories.
I was at work, bored, and when the break came, I looked up the stretching room posters. But it was only a small start, and I even saw the HM 2023 poster at a movie theatre during my vacation in Maui and told my older sis about the stretching room.
Now, how I actually got into Haunted Mansion, was thanks to one of my besties @olainewashere, who got me into watching the Haunted Mansion 2023, and we both talked about the HM. Thank u Olaine for a new interest :3
I also continue watching the 2003 movie as well
And uhh, that's basically it! Hope you liked my small reading XD
Okay… I… am… just… proud of finally finishing the story board for a animation I am making with some of my friends. Anyway. I may post an entire text of what this story is about and what’s happening. But this is just in the middle of the PILOT that I wanted to share. <3

we’ve gotcha girl. Don’t worry! We all have that certain feeling when we don’t feel special or anything, but trust me. Think about the upcoming or exciting things u have planned! Or if u don’t. Maybe draw or read a book, or watch a movie! At least ur trying hard in college and yeah it’s tough with those assignments and stuff like that. But that’s okay. Ur doing great!
Vent thing idk
I really feel down in the mood, that I am doubting whether am I ever doing good enough.
Like I'm just stressed from my cyber session for I already submitted 7 assignments and my professor only graded 4
But also I feel that I don't belong anywhere, that I am weird.
Yeh...
and like i feel my existence isn't even important (not saying i should be like a fucking queen or be an attention seeker but i just feel empty without a purpose)
(NOT IN THE TK COMMUNITY) BUT THIS… IS… SO…. CUTE <3
I was joking about how people in some cartoons stop villains by singing songs and I thought “well is there actually a passive way to defeat a villain?” And thought of this. So take a spontaneous silly little short drabble on me :)
“I’ve got you now, little mortal.”
You were fast, but unfortunately, Alistair was faster. In a flash you went from running down what felt like a seemingly endless hallway to being thrown up against the wall by the dark spirit. As he loomed over you, you could feel his claws digging into your shoulders through his gloves.
“You put up a good fight, I’ll say. Well, not really. But I at least want you to die with just a little bit of your dignity left,” he chuckles cruelly at his own little joke and then tightens his grip on you.
This is it. In a last ditch attempt to save yourself, you wave your arms out in front of you like you’re trying to hit or scratch him or… something, but the way he’s holding you makes it difficult to do much of anything. It’s honestly pathetic and the most you can do is barely brush against his ribs.
But somehow… that works?
Immediately Alistair flinches and freezes up like he just got hit with an electric shock. It provides enough time for you to wiggle free and scamper off a solid distance away.
“Don’t… don’t do that!” He shouts in a voice that almost sounds like it’s a little on the edge of flustered. Finding himself even angrier, Alistair starts stomping over to you again. But once he gets close you just swipe at that same spot once more. “I SAID STOP!”
Okay, now this is just getting confusing. You find that every time you touch him there, he freaks out. Eventually he just flat out stumbles over onto the floor and you take the opportunity to hold him down before he tries anything else.
You see the panicked look in his yellow eyes as your hands rest on his stomach, and then it all becomes clear…
He’s… ticklish?
You raise an eyebrow and start gently wiggling your fingers across his torso to prove your point. You start at the center of his belly and skitter around, trying to find all of his worst spots. Which honestly seems to just be everywhere.
“YOU CUT THAT OUT!” Alistair shouts, trying to push you off, but cannot since he’s too busy focusing all his energy on not laughing. His ego would never fully recover.
That effort fails as soon as you touch his ribs again, though. Alistair starts giggling uncontrollably in that supposed-to-be-creepy-but-is-honestly-just-goofy way of his and starts wriggling around a little, feeling very ashamed. He even goes so far as to take his hat off his head and hold it over his face so you can’t see him smiling. It’s honestly a little… cute? Which is not something you thought you’d be saying about someone who just tried to kill you two minutes ago, but oh well.
When you start using more pressure and make your tickles a little rougher, those giggles just turn into flat out hysterical cackling that makes his whole body shake. It’s safe to say that this was a very unexpected turn of events, but who are you to complain? You’re still alive, aren’t you?
After you rake your nails up and down his sides a couple of times he can’t take it anymore and fumbles around to grab your wrists.
“Okay! Stop! Just… stop,” he says, and you can hear him struggling for breath. He puts his hat back on and sits up, panting heavily.
“Listen to me. This is extremely humiliating and I cannot have anyone finding out about this. So…” he pauses to sigh dramatically, looking defeated. “I’ll let you go if you swear not to tell another soul that this happened, alright? We’ll just forget you ever came here at all, yada yada yada, all of that mess. Just… don’t tell anyone.”
That was easier than expected. Rushing to get back up on your feet, you look back down at the ghost who looks like he’s seriously regretting his existence.
“Uh… thanks,” you awkwardly wave goodbye.
“Whatever, just keep your mouth shut and skedaddle.”
(Yeah I know he’d probably punt someone before this could ever happen. But just suspend your disbelief for the sake of the silly cuteness, okay?)
