you’d left the restaurant immediately after the newscaster finished talking. you’d lost your appetite after finding out that the man you’d hit on was possibly a ghost. you simply ordered a sandwich to go — frankly because you’re honestly still quite hungry — paid and then left to head back to your apartment.

oscar trailed behind you all the way back, not another word uttered between you.

on your way back, it started to make sense for you. when you first bumped into him, the confused stares weren’t from you stopping in the middle of the crowd, but from the fact that you were talking to yourself. and even then, the waitress’s hostility and confusion should have been the nail in the coffin.

you hadn’t even questioned the way that she only brought you 1 glass of water instead of 2.

you open the door to your apartment and turn around after stepping in, oscar still standing in the hallway with his hands clasped in front of him. you raise your eyebrows. “what are you doing? come in.”

“really?” oscar asks in shock. “i mean, you don’t have to invite me inside… like, i’m a stranger.”

“what?” you scowl in disbelief. “you’re a literal ghost — what are you going to do, murder me?”

he blinks at you. “too soon.”

“just come in so nobody else thinks i’m going insane talking to myself,” you scoff, beckoning him inside. “stop the whining.”

you close the door when he steps into your apartment. you almost want to giggle at yourself for holding the door open for a ghost and waiting for him to walk in. but you swallow the giggle you feel bubbling because you can only imagine how difficult it is especially for oscar.

oscar lingers next to you as you take off your shoes, looking down at his feet. “do you think i can take my shoes off?”

“i don’t know,” you glance over your shoulder and watch him seriously ponder at the thought, “you’re the ghost — try it.”

he blinks, “you don’t think i’d dirty your apartment floor if i keep them on, right?”

you tilt your head and sigh. you stand up straighter and turn to face him. “but didn’t we bump into each other? means if i reach out right now,” you hold your arm out and hover it over oscar’s shoulder, “i would hit you.”

“i guess?” oscar scrunches his face and looks down at your hand. “hit me.”

you hesitate for a moment. can he even feel pain? so you reach forward with all intentions of hitting him and even wound your arm back slightly to do some damage.

a soft shriek emits from you when you stumble forward and your fingertips jab into the wall supposedly behind him. “what?” you squeak, quickly stabilising yourself in disbelief. “i swear i bumped into you when we met!”

“you did!” oscar says with a sigh, throwing his head back. “i don’t get it!” he darts his hand out to grab your wrist, eyes widening when his hand passes through you. he gasps, “why does it do that? i swear i bumped into you earlier!”

“i don’t know! you’re the ghost!” you shriek, now walking further into your apartment. “you’re asking me like i’ve got a degree in parapsychology!”

oscar tilts his head as follows you in. “para-what?”

“study of paranormal activity!” you sigh. “my sister used to be obsessed with this type of stuff before our parents got separated and moved to different ends of the country. she’s a very investigative person.”

“i’m sorry, i didn’t… i’m sorry about your parents,” oscar shrugs, frowning slightly. he watches you take a seat on your couch and throw your sandwich next to you. “and your sister. i’ve got 3 of my own back in australia and i grew up in the uk.”

you suck in a deep breath and sink into the couch. you realise you’re not entirely in the position to be freaking out as much as you are. you have to give it to oscar for staying calm in the past hour. you know that if you were in his position, you would not have taken it as well. in fact, you think you might even go crazy if you woke up one day with little to no recollection of events as a ghost.

and to find out from some random news clip to a restaurant with someone you've never met?

“i’m sorry. that must’ve been really hard on you,” you sigh, leaning forward to rest your elbows on your knees. “how do you feel? about everything?” you turn your head and realise that he is still standing and hovering by your couch. “why don’t you sit down?”

“it’s not my house — i don’t want to feel too at home as a guest,” oscar shrugs simply. he points at the empty spot next to you for permission. you nod and move the paper bag to the ground by your feet and he laughs as he takes a seat. “i doubt i’d deform your sandwich if i sat on it, by the way.”

“it’s on and off again. this sandwich is my overdue lunch and i’m not taking any chances,” you snort with a small grin. “this must be a little overwhelming for you.”

he shrugs and leans back. “it is. i don’t even remember waking up today, i’d just regained consciousness walking down the street before i bumped into you. it was like a video game — spawned out of nowhere.”

“this game is not going to be fun, by the looks of it,” you mutter, earning yourself a soft chuckle from oscar. “you can stay here until…”

“i’m not a ghost anymore?” he prompts.

“technically not a ghost 'cause you’re not…” you’re trying to choose your words carefully. you don’t want to trigger anything if you don’t know him that well just yet. “you know.”

“dead,” he points out firmly with a finger pointed at you. “let’s be realistic — i could be a ghost. i don’t even know how critical my condition is.”

you press your lips together and drop your gaze to the ground. you mirror his position on the couch and lean back with a sigh. “we should really stop talking about it, don’t you think?” you whisper hopefully.

he shakes his head. “i need to know what happened to me and who did this to me,” he sighs, shaking his head slightly. “maybe they got it wrong. maybe it was a driver error that caused my crash.”

“oscar…”

insistent, he continues to shake his head. “they wouldn’t do this to me,” he says softly with a frown, “i refuse to believe it. there’s no reason to!” oscar turns his head and meets your eyes. he sighs. “what do you think?”

you shrug. “i don’t know any of these people you’re talking about,” you say softly with a smile. “but i’ll help you, i promise.”

I've watched and adored Encanto, Wolfwalkers, Across the Spider-Verse, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio. All absolutely incredible animated films that I'm sure will be held up as classics even 20 years from now.

With that said, Nimona is frankly a good step above all of them and my choice for animated film of the decade so far (at least for what I've heard of). An absolutely stellar film on every level. Do yourself a favor and watch it all on YouTube these next few days!

Does it stand a chance at the Oscars? Absolutely not, especially since even the Annies were dominated by Spider-Man. But it would absolutely deserve to. (And again, I adore Spider-Verse and still think it's 100% worthy of the Oscar on its own. It's basically the reverse of the Puss in Boots vs. Pinocchio situation last year. They're both masterpieces, only this time the slightly better masterpiece is almost certainly gonna get left in the cold.)

#nimona #nimona movie #oscars 2024 #i'm not exactly gonna pretend nothing good came out of disney last year #maybe elemental and especially guardians 3 are good #but holy crap the fact that this film they left to rot with blue sky came back to mop the floor with them? #that truly is the ultimate nail in the coffin! #that and you know the draconian capitalist stuff but that's a different story #rip blue sky #now i can no longer call ice age: the meltdown my favorite blue sky movie that i've seen #sorry 4-year-old (and honestly current) me :( #you know this decade's been a rough one for animation in so many ways even in regards to the movies #(though they may be the least of the problems now) #but man has this decade already given us some classics from both the big and small studios #i'm sorry i haven't said much on the movie but i don't even know what to say because it's so amazing #go watch it right now #now just hoping it comes to blu-ray because i have all five of those other movies on blu-ray #and the only one not in 4k being wolfwalkers simply because it doesn't have a 4k (tho at least also having two more movies) #(one of said movies (song of the sea) actually being better than wolfwalkers but that's a different story; cartoon saloon rocks) #Youtube

Wrote something extremely bitchy in my mind describing in great detail exactly how viciously and viscerally I hate christmas (lowercase) and why, but I chose peace today and didn't post it. Just a shitty little gift from me to you.

#SNARLING AND GNASHING MY TEETH LIKE A BEAST. BUT ON THE INSIDE. YOU'RE WELCOME. #sorry for being grinch-like in nature but like can we just have one year where we Don't. like can we just Stop. #i've always had complicated feelings about christmas but spending so long in retail permanently poisoned me. i think. #retail during covid was the final nail in the fucking coffin like ok #i'm risking my health and getting harassed fucking daily by q-anon freaks and working twice as hard because corporate cut payroll in half #just so you can buy your kid a bunch of shit they'll look at once and then immediately forget about. cool cool cool tight tight tight. #SORRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY #oh yeah one more thing. you might think i would've been safe from q-anon freaks in deep blue new england but no☝️ #they were extra unhinged because they knew they were surrounded by The Libs. like cornered feral cats they were....

#jancy #stranger things #jonathan byers #nancy wheeler #sorry but you can’t tell me #that after what they’ve gone through #together #something like long distance #is going to be the nail in their coffin #I’m having a sudden burst of anger over this I’m sorry

Choose ur fave Ted ship bingo

My favorite Ted ship as in the one I wanted to be endgame is Ted x Michelle (I was hoping she would leave her creepy therapist and get back with him, because I fully believe he manipulated/took advantage of her and drove them apart) and my favorite Ted ship as in the one I respect the most is tedtrent, so I'm going to do tedtrent bc tedtrents are like the coolest people on here. Tedtrent ally <3

#ask #i just think ted is straight. sorry #the denver broncos speech put the nail in the bi ted coffin for me #for ME. personalleh #ship bingo :)

Didn't get a promotion I went for which is honestly fine. Has happened like three times in the last year, just part of the game. But holy shit my manager gave me the most insane feedback? Like literally implied I don't care about my job? My last manager sent me to Disney world so this comes as a bit of surprise 🙃 guess I need to start looking for promotions in different departments

#personal #i didnt really like her to begin with #but telling me to “fake” positivity was the nail in the coffin #sorry im not always on board with your bad ideas 🤪

“but May, I do not love you. I’m sorry. I tried.”

#dimension 20 #dimension20 #coffin run #jasmine bhullar #thatbronzegirl #holy shit #Wowie #sorry I love that line #Jasmine really nailed me in the heart with that one #it’s just raw and real #fucking hell

I think theyre a mutual in law so sorry </3 but um i saw someone say hiei and kurama can be a bit 2 dimensional. And uh actually no thats just hiei. Thats literally just hiei. Until like the last arc. Hes my little guy but also hes barely a character until the end of the series. Its not his fault. And the anime did try to help him out a little bit. But its just hiei. A significant part of watching yyh with my friend/s has been making fun of how little togashi cared about hiei bc its so funny when you notice how often he gets sidelined. And we’re not even at chapter black where hiei fucks off for most of the arc and then spends like a third of his actual screen time asleep. Also sometimes togashi just ignores and/or forgets shit he wrote about him. Its not my fault if someone cant separate kurama and hiei. Im not malding. Im not so defensive over my freak that i could cry. Im going back to bed i slept 4 hours. Im only awake rn to take my normal pills. I love you

#like… its obvious even from the beginning… #comparing their introductions isnt fair bc hiei wasnt intended to become a main character like kurama was #but well. that fact itself is a bit telling. innit #alsooooo… kurama’s fights tend to be heavily driven by some emotional aspect……. hiei just does shit <3 #hes pretty cool. but he is just kinda doing things <3 #LIKE think about the last round of the tournament… theres like. personal and emotional stakes to each fight. except hiei vs bui. lol #yusuke and kuwabara’s are both mostly about genkai while kurama’s is more personal #dealing with his fear of karasu and. kinda being the nail in the coffin for his identity problems for the rest of the series #also he kills himself he loves doing that. #i absolutely think there are aspects of kurama that were not explored enough #but that is why im so fucking crazy. i dont necessarily see it as a fault in togashi’s writing #as kurama. isnt the main character. and also togashi was like dying when he did try to go even deeper into his character #so it didnt go as far as togashi wanted i think #but im still fucking crazy. the groundwork alone mKes me fucking crazy #im sorry. im sorry. sorry #the kat goes meow

anyway having anger issues sucks and every time blizzard pulls another goddamn "what if i like being evil" i'm reminded, grossly, that not only do i hate how it treats its devs and characters, but i'm genuinely not safe in a story where NO ONE is allowed to just be good, to face temptation and say "no fuck that", and no matter what changes i know blizzard won't fix THAT and i just.

i can't go back dude. it sounds so fucking stupid but once i quit wow my progress in therapy skyrocketed. i'm so mentally healthy for the first time in 17 years. and it's so terrifying and gutwrenching realizing a stupid goddamn game had that much power over my anger issues. i hate it. i genuinely hate world of warcraft and i never want to play it again and every moment i falter on that stance is a moment of relapse and shouldn't be encouraged.

god this all sounds dumb as fuck, but like. that game fucking ruined my life for so many years, by poisoning my sense of right and wrong with unproductive, turbulent anger. i CANNOT go back.

#:(( #yoshi talks #new patch stuff has me like oh right! you're literally poison to me!! #anyway i'm not mad at anyone i'm just sorry #it made me SUCH an angry hostile ugly person and in so many ways it still does!!! #i still expect and WANT so much wrong and evil and it's bad for me! it directly hinders my recovery! #i don't want evil arcs or grappling with immoral shit i want stories where a character has autonomy and when they choose good that matters #not for some bullshit to drive them murder crazy a-fucking-gain #the fact i still expect this in other media! in my own ocs! is literally manifestations of my issues!!! #like i'm not saying HAVING bad or confused characters is bad but. when NO ONE is allowed to choose good. #when even if they CHOOSE good they're going to be possessed by evil forces and go against their choice. #it's bad for me #in perpetrates the kind of place my anger issues take over in #i get jaded and mean and suicidal #anduin was the nail in the coffin. by stripping him of his choice to always be good i realized i will never ever ever be safe there again #i'm tired of being gentle about it #this is what ppl mean when they say fiction DOES affect reality

i hope that all of the boys i was crushing on at church / church camp are doing well. turns out we were all part of a cult and i didn't have any real feelings for any of y'all. i just had debilitating gender envy

#the final nail in the coffin for me being involved with the cult was when they tried to separate the classes by gender for sunday school #bombarding my followers with incoherent prattling at strange hours is my specialty. sorry

[sovaharbor]

#I’m quitting my job #today has just put the nail #in the coffin for me #I just feel like when I’m temping at places they just expect you to know every single thing about the place and then treat you like you’re #stupid if you don’t know exactly how things work at this dentist #and it’s like that at every office I’ve been to #and everytime something goes #wrong i’m the easy target to blame because im just filling in there for the day #I’m so sick of it I’m over it #like I literally teach students to become dental assistants #I don’t need my intelligence questioned every day #I meet with my supervisor at the college tomorrow and I’m telling her I can’t do the temping anymore I just want to focus on teaching #I only do the temping because my supervisor wanted me to get some office experience they’re not correlated at all with each other #I don’t think I can do this anymore anyways because I’m going to be teaching 6 college classes starting next week and taking classes to get #my bachelors #I don’t have time or the mental stability for this job anymore #sorry I need to rant because if I don’t I’ll sit in my car and cry
