DP HC: Ghostly Emotions
I've heard some stuff that suggests that ghosts can just sense each other & communicate via emotions.
While I don't think that ghosts can just sense each other, as that would mean that ghosts would never get surprised by each other, which is something I believe we see in the show.
I actually don't mind the idea that the first ghostly language was based on emotions. However, I see a lot of ideas that these emotions can be felt at any time.
Instead, I feel like it makes more sense that ghosts need to project their emotions in order to be felt by each other.
It takes a mature ghost to be able to sense what's going on with another ghost without it being projected or seen in their expression.
At the same time, a ghost can resist attempts by others to discern what they're feeling if they wish. Whether that resistance succeeds depends on whether the other withdraws or has a stronger will.
Of course, this is just the first & most instinctual means for ghosts to communicate.
There are other, more verbal, means of doing so.
If not as the language had in life, then by one of the other ghostly languages that had evolved over the eons.
These other languages were necessary as a language based on only emotions limited the ability to communicate.
It's still the most instinctual means of ghostly communication, but it certainly isn't the only one.
