#wind sees ghosts

HEADCANON TIME

If Wind can see ghosts then he probably sees the champions from botw, and other ghosts that hover around the links. Maybe legends uncle is with him so Wind sees him or maybe some of the Koriki are surrounding Time. Either way Wind would be hearing a lot at once which probably isn’t very fun, so Wind likes to go on walks with Wolfie because Wolfie only has one ghost and it’s a little girl (TEHhEE another headcanon for a separate character 🥰) ,the girl doesn’t talk much and it’s calming for him

What was the point of Scrooge's trip with the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come? On a structural level, it makes sense--three is the fairy tale number, and you can't visit the past and present without also including the future--but on a character level, it doesn't quite seem necessary. Showing a man that he'll die alone, unloved, and unmourned seems like the strategy you take as the last-ditch effort to convince a guy that he needs to change his ways. But that situation doesn't apply to Scrooge. He started softening immediately after he first arrived in his past. By the time he finished with the Ghost of Christmas Present, he was fully onboard with the need to reform, so the Ghost's vision of his future seems like unnecessary cruelty. Why show him all this when he was already planning to change his ways?

A few things come to mind. One is that this vision of the future wouldn't have affected Scrooge unless he had already changed his ways. A cold, hard businessman could have seen his lonely death as just the way of the world, might have viewed the people who stole the clothes from his corpse as just people doing what's practical in this world. He needed to relearn the value of the intangibles--human connection, respect for others--to see the true horror of the lonely death and the vultures who defiled the dead man.

But why the horror? Can't he reform without being threatened with doom? It's possible--but it's also possible such a reform would be temporary. After all, Scrooge started as a friendly, loving young man, but retreated into himself and his business out of fear of poverty and fear of the way the world looks down upon poor people. Even if a reformed Scrooge started on a course of Christmas charity, there was always a chance that the enthusiasm would fade, and the worldly fears would start creeping back in. The only way to beat those fears is to give him something to fear that's even worse than poverty. He needs to see the horrible end that his selfish ways would lead to, so he won't be tempted to slide back into them.

There's also the fact that seeing his death makes him ecstatically happy to find that he's alive after the Ghost is gone. Had Scrooge been spared the vision of his future, he might have been happy to find himself on Christmas Day, but his joy would have been nowhere near the manic glee he experiences after coming back from the future. Now, he doesn't just get a new start--he gets a second chance. Coming back from his own grave makes him mindful of his death, but it also makes him hyperaware of the fact that he's still alive. He isn't in the ground yet. He still has time to do good and make connections with others so he doesn't die alone.

Seeing the past reminded him of the innocence he'd lost. Seeing the present reminded him of the people whose lives he was missing out on. Seeing the future reminded him that death is waiting, so it's important to live virtuously while we can. All three are important because all three brought him outside of himself and taught him to value the wider world, just in time to live through another Christmas Day.

#a christmas carol #charles dickens #once again i've ponderously worked my way to the explicitly stated moral of the story #but i had to work my way there because stave 4 left me unsettled #had i been scrooge that trip probably would have squashed any desire i had to reform #the ghost *doesn't say* whether or not the future can be changed #what if this is just proof he's doomed no matter what so why bother changing? #fortunately scrooge was much better than i was about logic #namely: no reason to show him this future if it *can't* be changed #the point of these ghosts is to save him from marley's fate #plus we did have the ghost of christmas present's implications that future shadows can be changed #it's kind of interesting when you step back from familiar stories that just go this way because it's how they're supposed to go #and really dig into 'wait a minute. why did it go like this?' #it usually winds up with me figuring out that the writer knew what they were doing #but it's also nice to see the scaffolding that got us to the story

guys we do realize Splashtail ISN'T an atheist right? we know the definition of atheist?

#i wasnt sure why it was bothering me at first to see ppl complaining about Splash being a stereotyped 'evil atheist' #until i realized. he is not even an atheist #atheist means you do not believe in a higher power. it does not exist. #mothwing and cloudtail were atheists (but they are NOT anymore. both of them are shown to believe now #even if Mothwing still doesnt commune with them she DOES believe they exist) #splashtail believes StarClan exists he jsut doesnt RESPECT them. he refuses to accept them as his gods #but he BELIEVES in a higher power. therefore hes not atheist #not agnostic either i would argue. #see this is the thing about worlds where religion is REAL. its hard to have atheist/agnostic characters when the worlds religion is REAL #im warrior cats the existence of StarClan is undeniable AND its not just StarClan! but the Tribe of EH and ghost cats and whatever else! #cats are even BIOLOGICALLY BORN with this power of religion built into them (see: the Sisters the Three any med cat really) #Splashtail is not DENYING that StarClan exists. so i dont think calling him atheist is a fitting label #just my two cents as an atheist #warrior cats #warriors #splashtail #asc #asc spoilers #a starless clan #asc wind #wc wind

Man I fucking love fics where Wind is portrayed as a deity/god, especially when the rest of the chain realise he’s probably more powerful than any of them. Go little man, kick some ass <3

#if anyone knows any fics like this send them my way #I’ve read a lot but I will always read more #same goes for fics where wind can see ghosts #linked universe #linkeduniverse #lu wind #linkeduniverse wind

"i'm sorry I left, but it was for the best, though it never felt right..."

#pov: mist and dewdrop see each other again and there's nothing stopping the tears that fall from his eyes #her tired expression as she remembers all of the sleepless nights she had wondering if her droplet was okay #the jealousy that runs through her veins like a current in the sea as she remembers who took him from her #but she puts it aside for him #she holds him close and wonders how he could cry for her after he left her #he feels the pang in his heart when he sees her confused expression when he practically knocks the wind from her lungs from a hug #he could never understand why six years of being away from her has changed her heart to stone #mist #dewdrop #mist ghoulette #dewdrop ghoul #ghost #the band ghost #ghost the band #nameless ghoulettes #nameless ghouls #ghost band #ellie thought again #luci might cry #sorry luci #Spotify

like seriously whatever you do dont think about the captain and that story about someone calling into gay bars and not saying anything, just listening to queer people living and laughing and having fun. definitely don't think about the captain doing that. haha.

#both during his life and in death #i just looked it up and the 1930s british queer scene was beautiful like jazz age stuff #the idea of the captain just discretely privately calling into places he's heard rumored to be queer #just to listen to the saxophone over the static of the telephone and know that there were gay people living and loving somewhere #and then to think about him missing that EVEN MORE in death because now he cant LEAVE #he cant hear rumors from people he cant call in #imagine the favors he'd have to owe julian to dial a number and let cap listen to the receiver without knowing what it is #like of course julian wants to know and he pesters him. but when cap is Deadly Serious and scared and sad. #a face julian's never seen. he winds his jokes down and agrees to do it #making cap think it was his idea- 'a bit of charity for the old walrus then'- instead of a deep understanding and love #and since its been decades of course the number he calls isnt a gay club anymore. maybe it doesnt even connect #and it breaks his heart and it takes him another decade to gather intel and the nerve to ask julian again #but when he does he finally gets a place and the phone quality is INCREDIBLE he can hear so much #he can hear people and their upbeat music and their laughter and their love #and he cries #and if julian sees it and pretends not to then its so that he can have the blackmail later thank you for asking #anyway im making myself emotional #bbc ghosts #EDIT Becuase then when julian overhears he tries subtly to make the captain feel more comfortable #bc julian is an asshole but he's not homophobic i mean he fucks everyone #so he tries to pepper in more stories about men but that just makes cap uncomfortable #and hes frustrated bc he cant think of anything else to do other than flirt with him but thats a bad idea #but then he remembers that he went to bars and places and maybe he'll like that #so he 'accidentally' dials some clubs he knows were cool and leaves the phone off the receiver for cap to find #and cap just gives him a curt nod and a clearing of his throat and they Dont Talk about it but they Know

looking back at posts and its so fun seeing exactly which two characters in genshin i was hyperfixated on and that even after like three years it has not changed Once 😭

venti and nameless bard have me wrapped around their fingers istg

#SINCE 2021 !!!!!!!!!! #i think about how much they love each other how much venti seems to idolize the bard to the point that he might seem to be on the same #divinity level as ven is #i think about that ven has carefully guided the citizens of mond to the same values that bard and the rest of old mond wanted it to be #i think about ven never changing his form to keep his friends memory alive even after /two millennia/ of seeing the face you can never get #back in the mirror every day #i think about ven holding his own hands together and pretending for a moment that its someone else holding his #i think !!!!!! about what would happen if the bard had ever perished. if ven would be severely protective and i dare you. try to lay a hand #on a single hair. he has gone through so much and i refuse to let anything take away what he deserves to see #i think about the bard catching the wind as easily as breathing simply bc its not truly “caught” #the wind is simply ever so fond of them that they will not go anywhere else for too long #i think about. the bard cradling a wisp so gently every night that even now warmth seeps in through ventis hand if he pretends enough #i think about a ghost bard who never leaves vens side. who had promised always whenever they departed thatd he leave something for venti to #know hes still there #i think about a bard who breaks down ventis walls with a single tap #bc they know each other as well as they do themselves #i think abt a bard who gently relearns a ven he hasn’t met #i think abt a bard who is angry and spiteful and spitting at the world softening around the wisp who shows nothing but kindness #i think about a bard recognizing ven by a small breeze alone #and i #i simply go bonkers over them you see #lantern says stuff

I'm seeing a lot of posts worrying about the lack of news, so I just want to say that nothing about this situation is abnormal. The BBC generally doesn't announce airdates until a couple of weeks beforehand (outside of the big shows that is).

If I remember correctly, for series 3 they didn't even get a trailer ready before it aired.

Maybe they want it on around Halloween so it won't air until the very end of September or even after, who knows.

It's coming. Especially with the screening this week, I'm sure there'll be something very soon.

#bbc ghosts #watch there be some news immediately after posting (or within the day) that's always the way #the bbc's marketing budget is one solitary penny #they can't all be good omens #basically: it's fine don't worry #there's a date on one site but it feels too late so i'm dubious #why am i posting this? because i don't like seeing people wind themselves up maybe. as if i know anything.

What if Iumaka literally named their son Araya though. Like, the exact name of the pseudo-deity they worship.

It's unclear to me as of right now why they'd choose such a loaded name for their son but I'm majorly intrigued by the idea of Araya the Moon and Araya the Prince That Never Was being conflated and confused with each other mythology and oral history wise, with one being given the other's aspects and stuff. The divine origin thing stuck onto the prince. Son of a king thing being assigned to the Moon-child. All that sort of nonsense.

There being some myths and stories about the prince apparently being sent by the gods to be Kaykhusraw's successor whose death caused the curse that befell his father's line, only to be countered by another storyteller that no, the prince wasn't sent by the gods, it's because the prince was literally Araya's incarnation and that made the gods panic because they sure don't want someone powerful as that ruling Pars so they sent a prophecy down to someone and told Kaykhusraw to eliminate the threat. Some say Iumaka themself received a prophecy or smth and that's what made them choose that name for the kid. Who knows the truth? No one.

Also Hilmes being stuck in the “Temple” aka the place that was likely the base of operations for Team Kaykhusraw, and the place Araya the Younger grew up in, getting to experience its Haunted-ness™ wholesale. I've posted about its general vibes on here but I'm not terribly satisfied with it. Hmm.

#him coming face-to-face #with this ghost of a prince #(who never was. who never was) #who shares so many similarities to him #and that ghost upon seeing him calls him “father” #(you've come before me wearing a different face) #hoo boi #arslan senki #the heroic legend of arslan #heroic legend of arslan #winds of wolfsong #wolfpack au #hilmes #kaykhusraw #nameless boy (oc) #the prince who never was (oc) #araya (oc) #clan lore

drawing ares looking fucked up and pathetic is so important. he’s too good at acting normal so I need to draw him as fucked as he actually is so that all of you know .

#this guy is like a walking skeleton and he is so visibly sleep deprived. he has permanent tremors in his hands #he looks like he just saw a ghost every day of his life #he’s the type of guy who’d cry in a bathtub fully clothed with a bottle of wine #he’s asthmatic but still smokes cigarettes. just to see if it’ll kill him eventually #he gambles on his own life for fun #he lived off of instant coffee and ramen noodles for 14 years while he had enough money to get whatever he wanted every day #theproject. #a strong gust of wind would break all of his bones.

i mean .listen. sometimes ur fantasy story is a big metaphor abt the world and society and the government and current events. and sometimes it's silly stuff abt 'hey what if the annoying customer at work did get eaten by a plant monster?'

bcos my god sometimes i gotta do something chill

#there's room for some meaning in there probably but mostly just like. i can't get caught up in humans legislatign magic. #it hasn't happened that's all i can have. or if it has happened it is not very effective #if i try to confine magic stuff that way it loses its meaning #does this mean that my urban fantasy world is going to be a little stranger and ungoverned? #is it perhaps going to be nightvalian in nature where these things just happen and no one is in charge of dealing with it? #yeah (altho obvs not quite night vale that's a different sorta universe) #i gotta write a thing i like u see. i gotta. #also frankly an attempt at addressing the legal personhood of ghosts is gonna wind up hamhanded and unrealistic from me prolly #there are ghosts and people deal with them i think. there may be insurance for ghosts but there's no laws abt them. #that's the world i gotta make that's the one i can work this story into

@snowshinobi NO BUT LITERALLYYYYYYYYYYY

Like Maggie hates being able to see ghosts for MANY reasons, but one of the pettier reasons is that once ghosts realize she can see them, they'll beg her to pass on messages to people (People who won't believe her! Most people are going to be uncomfortable with some random teen girl coming up to them and going "btw your dead relative says hi"), but this also results in her knowing a bunch of random shit because ghosts both LOVE to gossip and also CONSTANTLY try and bribe her to pass on messages by telling her things she didn't know before.

She'll be out with Jenna somewhere and just be like "oh btw you left your keys on the counter" and she only knows this because some random ghost is trying to get her to tell someone something by telling her something she forgot

She also frequently accidentally makes eye contact with ghosts. She'll accidentally make eye contact and then do that "oops didn't mean to look directly at you like that sorry" sort of head turn, which the ghosts are like. What. the fuck. Did she just??? look at me????

That's also how the ghosts found out about her, when she was a baby and just learning how to track things with her eyes and would stare DIRECTLY at ghosts and they'd be like. what the fuck. why is this baby following where i go. what. Every ghost ever is infinitely more weirded out by her than she is by the ghosts

#my OCs #That's how Opal met her! Opal instantly recognizes how hellish it'll be for Maggie as someone who can see ghosts #so basically the moment she catches wind of the baby that plays with ghosts she starts looking after her and getting after ghosts that dont #-leave her alone #Opal also can't go through walls or objects anymore bc small child Maggie would frequently walk into walls trying to follow her #Thats also why Opal views herself as a sort of mother figure to Maggie- she's been hanging around her and looking after her since she was- #-just a few months old

dont fucking look at me im thinking about how abbacchios death made brunos heart beat again if only for a moment
