Ghost He/Him - Adult - Writer English / Español

Hi! I'm Ghost and I like to write. Very very rarely I also do art.

This blog is multifandom and multi subject, it doesn't follow any specific theme. If you just want writing updates I have a side blog for that ( @ghostly00nimbus ).

I love getting asks and being included in tag/ask games. I probably wont manage to get to every one but please know I always appreciate it. If you're sending a fic/fandom related ask for an ask game please feel free to specify a fandom, ship, or fic that you are interested in.

Most of my fics will make their way over to AO3 eventually, but unfortunately I don't have an up to date list of projects here on tumblr.

If anything I make inspires you to create that's great, please go ahead you have my full permission. If you post anything inspired by any of my work I'd appreciate it if you'd send me a link because I'd love to see it!

This includes translations / podfics / spin offs / art / and fics inspired by my fic idea posts. And probably other stuff too. If you want to ask about something specific not mentioned here, you can, but the answer is almost definitely going to be yes you can do the thing.

I have a lot of sideblogs, if you want to check them out.

For whenever I don't feel like posting spicier content on main.

Character Themed Sideblogs

These sideblogs are themed after specific characters, they feature posts that are either about that character, that remind me of that character, or that i think that character would like.

from the bottom of my heart: just because something makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed to exist

This was on a non rebloggable post so I'm setting it free.

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

Who do y'all ship Chrissy with, aside from Eddie?

[thebirchwood]

Because I'm mostly in slash circles, I usually see her in a 'pair the spares' scenario where Eddie/Billy/Steve/all the popular characters are paired off already. I think I've seen her most often with Patrick as a result, because I guess he's not got main character energy (curious, I wonder why 🙄) but he's still looked on positively by the fandom for being a decent dude and friend.

I've also seen her paired with Robin and/or Nancy a few times, I believe, if you're vibing on bi-Chrissy/some femslash.

For the Eddie/Jason fic I'm writing, I've been contemplating setting her up with some chemistry with Eddie's friend/bandmate Jeff, based purely on vibes. I liked the idea of her still getting to reach out and explore other avenues of life beyond the cheerleader/jock dynamics she's used to, but I have prior plans for Eddie, so he's out. Because Jeff's a very underdeveloped character in the show, there's a lot of room for expansion.

But for what it's worth, I think I'd also want to advocate for... Jason? I know, probably an unpopular take, but since starting to read and write fic about him, I've grown attached. I think he's also heavily underdeveloped in canon, and has the potential to be a really interesting character. If we're all on board to redeem Billy for all his crimes (which- yes please, he's my baby), why not Jason, whose crimes are actually relatively understandable and justifiable? (Being a bully - look, so are half the fandom faves, that's not a death sentence. Hunting Eddie - well, trauma of his murdered girlfriend plus religious upbringing, is that really so surprising? Not knowing about Chrissy's eating disorder - I mean, he's a teenage boy in the 80s, was he really ever going to be equipped to even put a name to that, never mind know how to cope?)

Personally, I think I'd like seeing him have to work for it, and seeing them come back together despite their complicated history. The childhood sweethearts to painful exes to tentatively rediscovered lovers pipeline has a lot of meat to it, and if that trip also involved Jason discovering his repressed bisexuality along the way...? Sign me up.

(I could definitely see a poly scenario where Chrissy's other boyfriends are very protective and don't immediately understand Chrissy's lingering feelings for Jason, and have to come to terms with it alongside her as she decides to reach back out to him and see if he has a place in her new world.)

ooh lots of interesting stuff here, thank you for sharing!

So just as an fyi, if you reblog one of my ask games (from me or from someone else), I will try to send you an ask for it as soon as I see the notification. This is something I really enjoy doing, and it makes me feel more involved with the broader tumblr community even if my post has breached containment and introduced me to parts of it that I didn't know before.

However, this is easier to do if you add at least one tag, so that tumblr doesn't group the notifications and make it difficult for me to keep track of who I have already sent an ask to and who I haven't.

So, no obligation to add tags to ask game reblogs but just letting y'all know it makes it less likely that I will mess up and skip you, or mess up and send you repeat asks.

why are all the actual real human jobs like baker and florist and childcare worker barely paying livable wages but the fake jobs like ai specialist boot licker or marketing campaign dick sucker making six figures

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

Hellcheer fic idea

Where Corroded Coffin never really takes off. They still meet up sometimes, play a small gig here and there whenever they're in the same place and have the time, and they're all still friends but it just doesn't work out. They grow up, their priorities shift, and so do their goals. It's not a bad thing, even if it would seem that way to their teenage selves.

But Chrissy though, she winds up becoming a star. A worldwide sensation. And Eddie is her lead guitarist, and "manager" (they refer to his job as being her manager, really this part of his job is just dealing with assholes that refuse to take her seriously and the other annoying stuff she doesn't want to deal with personally but needs to be handled by someone she trusts). And they're married.

Sometimes people assume there's probably some resentment or something there, when they find out about Eddie's past goals/dreams. But there absolutely isn't. He loves his life, he loves his wife, and he is so proud of Chrissy and everything she has achieved.

So I am going to be able to post a fic update this friday (the 5th) but I am going to have to miss the next planned posting date after that (the 19th) due to a trip I am going on. I am not sure yet if I will be posting a chapter a few days late when I get back from that trip, or if I will just resume the normal posting schedule and post on July 3rd instead. It will probably depend on how much editing I can get done before the trip and how tired I am after it.
