Norray halloween week Day 1: Ghosts!

If curious, below are some random info about this Teacher/ghost AU

Ray got a gun and he can use it. The ghost gun isn’t able to touch, much less physically hurt anyone, but it replicate the sound of a real gun, which contributed a lot to how low priced his haunted house rent has become. It nearly gave Norman a heart attack the first time he heard it.

After being dead for a while, Ray learned how to turn visible and invisible at will and play around small objects such as paper, shoes and butcher knives. He can control up to 4 small objects at a time or something relativaly heavy like a chair if he really concentrate. The more he got the hang of controling and moving small objects the lower his house rent become, rarely getting aggressive but still able to physically hurt people. On All Hallows Eve he can posses people’s bodies and get out of the house he haunts, but he always ends up back to his empty ‘home’ when the night is over.

Ray is an incredibly fast learner. Just by observing the people that visits his house, he learned a decent amount of modern english and understand the basics of how tecnology is a thing now -he wished this advanced tecnology was invented when he was alive. It would make the of lack of food and nutrients less of a deadly nightmare in open sea.

As a pirate, Ray used to be the one in charge of doing most of the bloody work and take the night watch, protecting his captain’s back from both outside and inside forces. He was constantly alert, borderline paranoic. But as the years in death passed, he grew more calm, very patient. He usually don’t mind new people in his house, happy to learn more modern english and befriend the guests willing to tolerate him. If a new guest cross a line however, Ray will do his best to scare them away. Hurt them or kill them by manipulating knives if he sees fit.

It’s very rare for adults to see Ray as anything other than a nonsense they have no energy to deal with or a warning sign for their crumbling lives, so he usually hang around kids. The childish company mellows him with time.

Ray is from a time where death was common and getting hurt was inevitable so what people consider pretty serious is something Ray considers mild “Why are you being so dramatic about seeing some bone? Be grateful your hand is still attached to your wrist after you slaped your daughter. If it wasn’t for her wishes you wouldn’t have legs to run away.”

Norman is considered a genius and have countless prizes under his belt. He wanted to go to the moon when he was a kid but because of his weak health, he knew he would not be acepted in the space program. He decided teaching was the next best thing later on, accepted as a teacher in a prestigious school while still young. He enjoys and understand all subjects but love history the most, unable to deny it was hard and frustrating to teach a whole class of teens at times but still liking his job. Having one student that was genuinaly interested in his class was more than enough to make his day.

When Norman first started teaching, he felt more responsable than he had his whole life. It wasn’t a bad feeling per see, but it made him anxious so he called his little sister Cherry once a week to ask her questions about her teachers and make sure he was doing a good job.

Norman may not be the funniest of teacher but he’s still a favorite for his palpable cares for his students. He does not make the subject easier than is requested but he put a lot of effort into making people enjoy their world history, teaching with passion and seriously answering any questions, no matter how silly or joking it sounds. He’s understanding and try his best to help those with dificulty with the subject, always giving people second chances, having lost countless nights of sleep correcting re-writen essays after deadlines and turning his test questions into podcasts for students with adhd, aware the big historical excerpts are fundamental for answering the test but too hard to focus, specially with limited time.

The lambda crew are problem children. Norman went the extra mile to save Barbara and Zazie from failing classes even outside history and left Vincent startruck with his wide knowladge about not only world history but a ton of subjects he could be teaching too if he wasn’t overworking himself. Norman is both happy to inspire the squad to study hard and also very awkward by their blind admiration.

The teacher had a firm “ghost don’t exist” mentality, which is one of the reasons he brought the haunted house in the first place. He had chalked Ray up as an halucination from his sleep deprived brain, having the rotten luck of buying the house right after a bad guest owned. The ghost got more annoyed than usual from things as insignificant as Norman keeping the lights on for too long, putting music Ray doesn’t vibe with, or just acting unfairly cute, to more personal matters such as Norman studying about Ray and his family lives. They used to have a distant and bad relationship but once Ray noticed Norman had only admiration for history, being genuinaly kind when trying to talk instead of mocking his existence, Ray apologised. Norman was still wary at first but they quickly hit off, enjoying to learn what the other had to offer and matching in wits.

When Norman catch a fever or a bad cold Ray gets wary. He know, on some level, that medicine have evolved a lot, but he remenbers way too clearly how serious even the weakest of diseases could get if not imediatly treated. He always stick by Norman’s side when the teacher sneezes, not taking his eyes off him. Usually Norman keep working when he catch a cold, so Ray learned to float Norman’s grading papers out of his reach when coughing joined his sneezes. Floating a paper is enough to get Norman to take a break most of the time, but if the get stubborn Ray will stop playing nice. Just lower his voice to comander mode and order “Rest. Now. Or I’ll make your life a living hell.” and Norman does what he’s told, it’s very unconfortable to have a gun in the face and he does feel very tired.

When Norman is seriously sick, not just coughing but stuck to his bed. Ray freak out and fear for his life. When it reached this level, most of his crewmates died or had to be thrown in the sea to not infect other. Yes Ray know it’s not as bad anymore, but even when he observed guests, they rarely got sick, and when it got bad they where taken to a doctor. Norman lives alone so he got no one to feed him and bring him blankets or take him to the doctor if he lies for hours in bed. Ray was all the help he would get and he is fucking dead, he can’t measure his temperature or take care of him properly. Ray does tries his best though. He concentrated a lot to float heavy blankets and pillows towards Norman. Imediatly fetching any pills asked of him and doing his best to make him tea. It isn’t tasty, but Norman still appreciates his care.

Ray is the first to fall in love, he think “If only I could kiss this fool and hug him, I would do it on the daily. I wish he was alive back then... He would love meeting Emma...” at least once a week but a big part of him is just “Forget scurvy! Norman would die of cold or malnutricion before he reached 10. Thank god the helpless bastard took his sweet time to be born.”

Ray cannot touch any eletronics, he can’t even come close without phones, computers, and tvs turning to statics, so Norman buys an illustrated book about the Red Mane Pirates for Ray to see his crew again. He know is not perfect but is the best he can offer whenever Ray expresses missing his family.

They read together. Norman occasionally teaching a new word to his ghost and Ray correcting any historical inacuracy. It’s fun.

Norman finds an illustration of an alive Ray sleeping in the mast waaay too beautiful. Ray snort at the romantized draw, disolving into laughter by how Norman failed to hide his blush.

It became a habit to read history books together and tease each other. More often then not, it lead to a history class and way to much sass on both ends.

“Wait, so there really was a world war? I heard about it from old guests but I thought they were exagerating when they called world war! And what do you mean 2? There was a second one??”

“How did miss the second one? It was HUGE, quite horribl-”

“You were not even alive when it happened.”

“Tecnically, you weren’t either Ray-”

Ray is a bit scared of how attached he got to Norman, knowing eventually the man would die. He hopes it will take a long time, and that once he had a painless death, he will become a ghost too, but he doesn’t really believe Norman will ever turn into a ghost. Ray knows not everyone that dies became a ghost. Since someone as compassionable as Emma -even if she was forced to have blood and dirty choises on her hand to survive the merciless seas- was not cursed to became a ghost, he was confident someone as kind as Norman would dissapear from Ray’s afterlife once he died too.

And since you reached the end of this text wall. You can have this bonus Norman being awkward/excited about their growing friendship.

Another victim, another death. Such thing is normal to him by now, Ray sadly thinks. Blood, as red as wine, staining norman's hand, contrasting his snow-like hair, pristine smile. It was awful, how his baby blue eyes became slightly darker when murdering someone, how his smile became ever so stained, day by day when meeting Emma. All for him.

Why was Norman doing this? Did he not know the consequences of his actions? He would surely go to jail, and that was the best possible outcome. The people who Norman had begun killing weren't normal people, oh how much he wished they were.

No, they were murderers, assassins, high government officials, all those high ranking people, getting killed on Norman's killing spree.

"Why are you doing this?" Ray asks yet again.

Yet again he gets no answer. It's infuriating, how Norman purposefully chose to ignore that one special question that Ray asked one thing. One thing he'd never know.

"Why have you yet to leave?"

"Because I love you. I don't want you to suffer for me." All the words he couldn't say.

Norman asks in return, a soft smile marring his cold blooded features. How many people had forgotten that smile? Ray asked himself. Probably most of them, he knew that much. It was painful, seeing a glimpse into the past, kind Norman and not an image of the cold facade he was so stubborn on using.

Why was the world so unfair? Ray wondered. People, kind people like Norman and Emma and everyone he knew suffered, while others didn't care for the burnt plagues they left to the world.

"Norman answer me why" Ray insists, even if it hurts to do so.

Norman only smiles that no good smile in return, as if could explain all of his questions. It didn't, of course.

"Norman, answer me." Ray almost shouts "Please" he doesn't intend for his voice to crack, yet it seems to thankfully affect Norman to some ext-

Wait why, why was Norman so pale? No he wasn't that pale even when sick. Something was wrong. Something was utterly wrong.

Norman turns his body fully to him then, no longer facing the dead body. He sees the wound. He sees blood too.

"Norman, Norman call an ambulance fast"

"It's too late Ray, I was careless forgive me."

"Why did you do this? Why Norman? You could have lived. Why would you do something so stupid for someone like me?"

"Because I l-" Norman drops then, no longer having the strength to speak, no longer having a heartbeat.

FOR norray week day 1

I miss Tumblr.

Maybe I’ve taken enough of hiatus because I miss Tumblr and seeing my mutuals’ posts. Mari also made me excited over the Norray Week. I wasn’t going to participate in it but I just kinda got the hype when I looked at her WIPs, and now I have something on my mind too! Besides, no social media for too long began to felt really boring, so there is no point overdoing it. Haven’t updated the app on my phone yet, but I’m back. <3

I will still make an effort to spend less time on the app- and more importantly, QUALITY TIME. But let’s just say I’m back now! -Nila

Norray Week

Day 1: [Origins] / AU

Since day one is origins I thought there was nothing better but for me to share how I fell in love with Norray! So here you go :3 Also Tumblr hates me so i think this is barely poping up in the norrayweek tag rippp

[Spoiler warning for anime onlys where you see any text in red!]

It was this scene :

And yeah! Surprisingly enough, it was the anime version! When I first read this in the manga (which was right after finishing episode 11 so you bet I was a crying mess) I was just thinking about how blind I was about them and their friendship and how much i missed norman too but that's besides the point. So when episode 12 aired a week later I was already pretty ahead in the manga so watching that scene again, now animated, was a whole new experience that made me go "wow, I love them."

[SPOILERS BELOW FOR CHAPTER 65 & 93]

And then seeing scenes like these ⬇

MADE ME S O F T as well as they made me love ray so much more because omg he's is so strong and deserves all the freaking love in the world and it also made me realize how much Ray really did and does love and care for Norman (and emma too ofc) so yeah that was more fuel to the fire that made me start shipping them :')

[END SPOILERS]

And despite the anime version of their talk being what blossomed my love for Norray, the manga version of it will forever be 🙌🙏🙌 because it showed us Ray's inner dialogue after his talk with "ghost" Norman

LIKE NORMAN GAVE RAY HOPE

HE GAVE RAY A CHANCE AT LIVING AGAIN

Like tell me this isn't love

[SPOILERS BELOW! This is from like everything up to chapter 162! So omg if you're an anime only please don't read it]

Then seeing them reunite again and seeing Ray crying for the second time in the whole manga because of Norman and then that whole happy chapter where they were just hanging out with each other that ended with all three of them falling asleep with Norman in the middle?? Like?? AUAISBDSHIANSSHDVS- THAT MAKES ME SO INCREDIBLY SOFT😭💖 And then they got married remember!😂 (click here to see what i mean xD) and now they're back together :') and we got Ray smacking Norman in the head in like chapter 162!😂 So yeah it's just all those little scenes that really hit me and make me go "wow, they love each other" which makes me love them even more cause omg they're so good for each other. They balance each other out is the best way possible and they see each other as equals and ahsauoaagnshs :')

[END OF SPOILERS]

Then the cherry on top was this ot3 fanfic that i found on ao3 back in summer which just made everything come together. I basically fell in the rabbit hole and read everything I could find in the Norray tag after that😂 And here I am :'3

So in conclusion, it was the anime version of their talk near the cliff that made me fall in love with them :') Like the animation and the voice acting were ✨👌😭

That scene was like the seed to this beautiful flower that blossomed my love for Norray🙏✨

Everything else that took care of said flower is what kept it alive :3

Also known as:

My tears :') - which would be the water cause plants need water. And oof norray can make me really sappy at times, okay? So you bet they have gotten a lot of my tears during these past months! And some of guys can write and draw really well and... I'm kinda a really emotional person😅

All those norray moments that make me feel soft and warm - that would be sunlight! Cause uhh yeah flowers need sun too xD and norray has made me super soft and warm way too many times to count

The norray community - which, uhh, would be carbon dioxide..?? (Idk it made more sense in my head okay xD) That's because you guys are amazing and provide all of us such wonderful content that is so lovely and meaningful <3 <3

Anyways my point is that it's thanks all of that ^ that the flower (aka my love for norray😂) was able to blossom💖

Thank you to everyone who read all of this and I hope we can all enjoy this week! I can't wait to read and see everything you guys created :D I promise that even if I'm late I'll give you all a comment <3

Happy Norrayweek!💙

#norray #norrayweek #norrayweek2020 #so yeah hi guys #tumblr really hates me so this didnt pop up in the norrayweek tag when i posted it on day one😪#so i has to copy all of this and post it again to see if it would appear now #and hopefully it did??#i honestly really just wanted to get this post out there cause the origins post was kinda my idea #and i really did want to share this with you guys :)#so hopefully it posted!#and if it didnt i'll keep trying later😪#and oof if anyone saw the mess i was earlier im sorry you had to witness that😂😂#and this post is also lowkey confusing so sorry about that xD #anyways on a happier note norrayweek has been great! :D #i've been acting like such a dumbass with my comments so sorry about that😂 but just know that they're genuine💖#the origins prompt**#damn i cant write😂
