We learn Buttons has been to the gravy basket a few times.
And we learn he is a sea witch/talks to birds. So can that make him prophetic?
He asks Blackbeard's crew about being phantoms, 2/3 are now "dead."
He asks Jack if he's a ghost? CJ dies.
He visits Izzy at the end.
There's something here (I just don't quite know what exactly) about how the show is about facing the ghosts of your past, Stede in the first season and Ed in the second. Buttons helps both of them through it.
And Button's serving as a conduit for them and for Purgatory, the real versus the magical.

The Mariner, and why was he the "Helpful Spook"?
I have more to talk about with the Haunted Mansion 2023 movie, go figure. This time it's about our wonderful new friend, the Mariner!
Slight spoilers for the 2023 movie below.
So what's the deal with the Mariner in the movie?
In the 2023 movie, he is the ghost attached to Ben, haunting him until he returns to the Gracey Mansion. This becomes helpful as the Mariner travels with Ben, Travis, and Kent to Crump Mansion, and while there reveals some of Crump's plot. In return for this, Ben takes the Mariner to the sea and, released from the mansion, the Mariner happily takes a modern fishing boat and heads out to sea, presumably to emulate Deadliest Catch, which he seems fond of on TV.
So what's the deal with the Mariner in The Mansion Itself?
Well, to put it simply, the Mariner may be considered the final, lasting, singular reference to one of the earliest concepts for the Haunted Mansion.
Yale Gracey and Rolly Crump* seemed to have a rather solid plotline for one of the very first iterations of the Haunted Mansion: a wealthy Sea Captain, Bartholomew Gore, is set to marry his longtime love Priscilla (or in some cases, they already are married) before Priscilla uncovered a chest full of evidence revealing that Captain Gore was not merely a sea captain, but the infamous Pirate known as Black Bart. With his secret revealed and Priscilla horrified, Captain Gore disposed of her; varying methods include locked in a trunk and thrown down a well which was then sealed.
If any of you are familiar with the story of how Crump and Gracey were told they had to turn off their special effects at night as the cleaning crew were too frightened to clean their studio space, only to amp it up to scare out the crew entirely, the Gore and Priscilla story was still on the notes at that time. It's likely that the diorama they rigged up to scare the poor cleaners was that of Gore and Priscilla themselves!
So where's the Mariner in the mansion now?
Unfortunately? He isn't. The Sea Captain's plot was discarded in favor of a less structured approach to the Mansion, one more like we have today - not dedicated to any one ghost, but many. And the Mariner himself didn't actually make the cut. The Disneyland Mansion has no sign of him; the Disney World Mansion is a little different.
Tumblr media
The Sea Captain, or the Mariner, appears in a painting in the loading area of the attraction, and in fact it's been suggested that the Mariner's appearance was lifted right from some of the earliest concept sketches of Captain Gore. With the addition of the interactive queue outside the WDW mansion, he's more accredited the name of "Captain Culpeper Clyne" (who's allergic to dirt so he's pickled in brine!) or the man in the crypt that's sprung a leak.
Oh, and Captain Gore's design might also have been the inspiration for the infamous Auctioneer in Pirates of the Caribbean (ride).
Prior to the 2006-2007 refurbishment, the Mariner was one of the paintings with eyes that would follow the Guests as they passed by in their Doombuggies; now, however, his portrait doesn't do anything, it just looms over the Guests as they board**. There were also rumors that his story could be found in the Columbia Harbor House across the street, but I have yet to find those rumors confirmed (and I've looked, believe me.)
And why did you make me read all this, Dani?
Because with all this in mind, at least for me, it's nice to see the Mariner in particular - as opposed to a different more marketable spirit, like one the Hitchhiking Ghosts who would seem more obvious - be the Helpful Spook who follows our protagonist. To me, it seems like a little nod that maybe, just maybe, the people who made this movie really knew their Mansion history!
Or it could be a coincidence.
Whatever the case, I'm just really thrilled to see that a spook arguably attached to one of the very first ideas of the Haunted Mansion, who gets no real appearance in the original HM and arguably less and less in the WDW HM, get a little bit of the spotlight in the 2023 movie.
*No relation to Alastair Crump or Edward/William Gracey; the "Master Gracey" character was named after Yale, and I strongly suspect that Alastair Crump was named so as a reference to Mr. Rolly Crump. That makes the Gracey Mansion and the Crump Mansions both direct references to two of the earliest brains on the inimitable Haunted Mansion!
**A similar portrait was April-December; she was recently restored to the Disneyland Mansion as a changing portrait, but in WDW her eyes would also follow guests. Like all the eye-following portraits, she was dismissed in the refurbishment, but she's a prominent painting in the movie; she is the hidden door to the seance room - in fact, the way to open the door is by using the eye-holes as a handle! Clever little referencing there, I think.
Also if you like Haunted Mansion history and just about any tangent you can think of, I encourage you to check out the Long-Forgotten Haunted Mansion blog a little bit more. They know their stuff over there!

So it’s a bit of Skeksis lore that they lost some vital attribute when they split from the urRu that hampers their chosen area of expertise
It’s most obvious with the Scientist where he’s got enough smarts to do mad science but struggles with coming up with ideas on his own. Once someone points him in a direction, he can get going.
Which is a good segue to skekSa the Mariner since I’m pretty sure she lost any navigational ability to urSan the Swimmer.
urSan’s biggest thing aside from swimming is drawing maps of everywhere she’s been.
In the YA novels that skekSa appeared most in, she needed EVERY Sifan navigator to help her flee the continent. And when that fell through she tried to steal urSan’s maps. (Did urSan swim across an entire ocean? Wow.)
No wonder she prefers living ships. It’s navigational easy mode.
And to take this to comedic exaggeration levels… no wonder she hates the castle! It’s described as labyrinthine in the movie novelization.
I can just imagine her getting lost on the way to dinner one too many times and deciding enough is enough. Screw this castle, she’s going to go live on a boat!

ARGH that's hard because I'm pretty sure I said every unpopular opinion I have about it
Uuuuuuuuuh...
Oh ! I know but...
I am gonna be trampled...
My friends, it is nothing against you guys who chatted with me about it and I listened and laughed and nodded and contributed to ideas ! Not against them either because I love them as characters, really !
But...
SkekMal and SkekSa are not that hot and overrated when it comes to sexiness and if they weren't generically hot fandom characters they wouldn't be as popular as they are, still popular because the former is the only Skeksis in shape who hunts and uses his 4 arms and the latter until recently would like the Sifa as her pets and be adored by them so still something, but not as popular as they are right now

Coronado + Societe The Mariner West Coast Double IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. A very straight-ahead and good big West Coast IPA -- lots of citrus and tropical fruit -- far more tropical-forward than some -- and a touch of pine in the body. Nicely bitter towards the finish and balanced throughout.
