We’ve got a pretty small fandom so far, but if I made a little School Spirits discord server for us to hang out and talk theories, characters, fanworks, ships, etc, would anyone be interested?

rhonda is absolutely the type to smoke cigarettes in the girls bathroom. you can’t convince me that her lollipops weren’t a stand-in for cigarettes, especially when she put her lollipop in the dirt next to her as if she were snuffing out a cigarette.

simon is probably one of my favorite characters in all of school spirits because I love love when someone is the embodiment of the most loyal, most rabid cat imaginable. he’s ready to go after anyone and everyone for maddie, just say the word. maddie’s like ‘idk if this person could have done anything to kill me :/’ meanwhile simon is already breaking into their house and smothering them in their sleep for being mean to maddie one time three years ago. good for him.

Okay I'm now using this blog to spread tv propaganda. Watch school spirits on paramount plus. You wanna watch school spirits on paramount plus. You wanna watch this show so bad it makes you look stupid. And then you wanna come talk to me about who you think did it. This is what you want.

I think what really draws me to School Spirits is that grungy late 90’s feel. It feels like it’s an MTV show from when I was in middle/high school. It just has that dark smokey feel. It reminds me of those days, which were happier for me. I grew up having a difficult life, different than Maddie, but still I get what it’s like to try to balance school, friends, and a rough home life. I did every activity I could just so I didn’t have to go home.

Another thing I love is that I majored in history. Specifically 1900-1950, the American home front. I specialize in popular culture. Fashion, films, trends, food, music. So I’m loving the stereotypes and how it’s not hokey. We have 2 hippies, a greaser, a goth, the 90’s kid (who reminds me of something I’d see on The Real World), 80’s jock, a beatnik, and I think Mr Martin might be 1920’s but that look he’s wearing is super timeless so it’s a tough call. Also band kids are pretty timeless lol. That one hurt guys. I graduated in 2003 and was a band kid. I could have marched with them!

My senior year I lost 2 people I loved endlessly in a car accident. My world stood still. I actually stood at the accident site the next day, picking up one of the hub caps, and trying to realize it isn’t a dream. I wanted to scream. I was angry. I was hurt. I spent the rest of the school year doing my classes from the 12th grade office because I just couldn’t walk into the classrooms I shared with them. It was too much. 20 years later it still hurts.

High school was a different world for me. And this show opens up feelings and wounds that I thought I healed. And that’s actually important. It means I’m not over my pain. I get Rhonda. I get why she’s angry. Pain isn’t for sale. It’s something we have to cope with and try to move forward. But how do you move forward when you’re stuck? I’m still working on that (bless my therapist).

I needed this show. These characters. The reminders.

I didn’t come out until college, but bless you Charley. I get it. Gay kids in the 90’s. I’m glad the world is safer now.

Update: I redact Mr Martin 1920’s. The school seems to be in existence since 1956, so presume everyone’s dead since then. He’s got the Buddy Holly glasses…so let’s assume late 50’s, early 60’s. Maybe he was the first death.

Rewatching to catch anything else I missed the first time. And trying to nail down the 3 ghosts we’ve seen and not met.

i would be SO much better at talking to my dead best friend in public than simon is.

1. i wouldn't constantly say 'maddie' in conversation

2. i would make use of my ability to write with a pen or pencil

3. i would not let on to others that i am certain that my best friend is dead, lest they believe i did it

Being a weird little girl as a kid provides two options to you: becoming transgender or becoming a weird adult woman. Both of which are things the world needs more of
