It’s been a while since I’ve written anything, but motivation has struck me in the night and I ended up writing this.

Hellen Gravely with a Jeweler S/O
-Hellen admires and appreciates your craft in a way that many of the other ghosts at the Last Resort do not. There aren’t too many ghosts that enjoy jewelry like Hellen does – plenty of the goobs find it fun to wear and play around with in a careless manner, but Hellen takes note of all the finer details you put into one of your pieces.
-You’re her favourite jeweler, and she’s going to commission you often, being an avid fan of jewelry herself. She loves to wear whatever you make for her, showing it off to anyone around. She’ll do all the bragging for you, pointing out the intricacies of any jewelry you make; the time, attention, and focus required; and your skill overall. If you’re on the shy side, she’ll do her best to keep it down, but she loves to sing your praises to anyone who’s willing to listen.
-Even if she’d like to, Hellen can’t wear everything you’ve made for her all at once, so with what she chooses not to wear for the day, she has the rest of the jewelry you’ve made for her displayed around the fifteenth floor, almost like a gallery.
-Sometimes she likes to watch you craft or repair. She’s usually busy managing the hotel, but she enjoys the moments of spare time she has where she can watch the process. It’s interesting to see the planning and carefulness that goes into the work, to see how something can change shape into something so pretty. Watching gives her a new appreciation in what you do.
Steward with a music obsessed so? I just wanna see the boy happy ;^;
Steward with a Music Obsessed S/O
-Steward likes music, too. He just… doesn’t have the time for it as much. He’s always overworking himself, and while some of the other ghosts will have headphones on to make the time pass faster as they work, Steward likes to keep his focus entirely on his job – for better or for worse. But in his spare time, sometimes he’ll put on some jazz music! That’s his favourite genre.
-So when you show up, bringing the music with you, it’s like you’re bringing a whole spark along. You’re so eager to show him all of your favourite music, and he loves listening to your passion for the whole thing. Whatever you show him, the chances are he’s going to get hooked on it, too, so you end up listening to the same music a lot of the time. But he’s happy to show you his small collection of music as well – he has a few vinyl records he keeps around.
-Sometimes you can hear him humming the music you showed him as he’s carrying things around in the halls. It’s definitely brightened his work days.
-You’ll likely end up spending a lot of time on the fourteenth floor with Phantasmagloria, so he learns to look for you there when you he has no idea where you are. He’ll come visit you on his breaks if he has enough time, and it’s immediately obvious to him that this really isn’t his type of scene. He can be a bit more on the shy side, so at first he’s just following you around. He loves watching you get excited over every song that plays, how you’ll tell him the name of each one, but he’s just a little bit nervous from all the flashing lights and noise.
-If you choose to dance on the dance floor, Steward will probably stand off to the side and cheer you on. Being in the center of it all isn’t really his jam, but if you insist that he comes with you, he will. He’ll end up copying what you’re doing if it’s simple since he really doesn’t want to totally embarrass himself in front of all the other ghosts by trying to pull off dance moves he can’t do.
-But when the two of you are alone together, he’s definitely more into it. He’s not shy to try some of the things he’s seen the goobs do since he trusts that you won’t make too much fun of him after he messes it all up. (Though you discover that he’s a fast learner when he puts his mind to it, and with some practice, he actually could replicate the moves). You two can dance the night away until you both are sitting back down, exhausted and laughing at the silliness of it all, just happy that you had so much fun together.
Angst: S/o gets murdered by a bunch of people who are bigoted towards ghosts, simply because she was dating a ghost. S/o passes and turns into a ghost and gets severe trauma from the event, even to the point where she gets night terrors. She is never quite the same, always looking over her shoulder and afraid of being alone. (Please use she/her pronouns for s/o, if you don’t mind.) The characters I’d like are Amadeus and Steward! Thanks for reading! :)
Steward and Amadeus with a Recently Murdered S/O
Steward
-Steward wishes that he hadn’t been a ghost, as if he had anything to actually do with your death. He knows, logically, that the blame rests entirely on your killers, but emotionally there’s a part of him that feels like he contributed. It’s not his fault, he knows it isn’t, but he still wishes he could have done something to change it.
-But he’s happy that you’re all right. Well, as all right as you can be, being a ghost. Sometimes the person doesn’t ever come back as a ghost, so he’s glad that you’re still around, but he also hates that you are a ghost, because you didn’t deserve to die. On top of that, you have some clear trauma as a result. But you can get through this, and he’ll be there every step of the way.
-Steward is practically living online when you’re asleep. He’s reading all the articles on how to help someone going through this, how best he can support you without overwhelming you, etc. He really doesn’t want to mess anything up because of how delicate the situation is; he’s trying his best and he’s doing everything he can to take the perfect steps to help.
-If you don’t like being alone, he could use some help with his work, as much as he’ll claim that he’s totally fine and that he’s working a perfectly normal amount for one ghost. You could work with him so that you’re almost always with him, helping him carry some luggage, organizing the reception while he speaks with guests, things like that. He’ll insist that you don’t stress yourself out and keep watch to make sure you don’t, though he understands the feeling of drowning oneself in work to avoid feelings.
-He’s happy to do the talking on your behalf if you want him to! You’ve become a lot more reclusive to anyone who you don’t know well enough, and after what you went through, he gets that talking to unfamiliar people is kind of scary.
-Part of him gets anxious when he sees you interacting with someone he doesn’t know as a result. Most people are decent though, so everything always went fine, but Steward is still so ready to drop everything and fly to your rescue if said person ends up being an issue.
-Even when you’ve recovered from the incident, he can still see the look in your eyes that never quite goes away no matter how much time passes. How you’re always acutely aware of your surroundings, how many people are around, and the like. He knows that it’s all in the past now, but he still wishes he could have done more.
Amadeus
-Unlike Steward, Amadeus isn’t as in tune with emotions, so sometimes the help he gives feels a little… stiff, like he’s following a script. He’s best at conveying his emotions through music (or anger), but this isn’t exactly a situation where classical music will help, so he looks to examples for the best methods of comfort and support. But he’s one hundred percent trying his best. He’s asked some of the other ghosts around for advice, and he’s bought a few books with some general ideas.
-He’s got all the time in the world to be there for you. His job isn’t so stressful on the timing of things, mostly just playing the piano and writing compositions. The only thing that is strict with the time is any concerts he has scheduled, but he can always cancel or postpone if there’s an emergency. But besides those few hours, he’s always available to be there to help if you need it.
-Due to the nature of his concerts, you can’t always be next to him. Besides the ballerina goobs, he’s the only one on stage during them, but he makes sure that you either have a front row seat or one of the boxes if you’d prefer to sit away from everyone else in the audience.
-Amadeus has quite the intimidating aura, so if you’re ever feeling especially anxious, you can always follow him around for a bit so strangers won’t approach you. It definitely helps a little when there’s someone giving you bad vibes, though still being near them will keep you on edge anyway, but it’s definitely better than being alone with them.
-Amadeus can make the polite small talk and will find a way to get people to get the idea that you and him aren’t up for talking right now, but anytime someone intentionally starts to bring up triggering topics, he’s quick to anger. He understands there are accidents, but he won’t tolerate any clear malice. If someone has some not so great opinions regarding your relationship, he will start yelling and have them dragged out.
-The times when you wake up in the night from a night terror are probably the most difficult to him because sometimes he just doesn’t know what to do. He’ll hold you and try to calm you down, but he feels like he should be doing so much more. He makes a note to look for what can help for times like these the next day, but for now, he hopes that whispers that you’re all right, that he’s still here, that those people who hurt you are gone, everything is fine now will be enough to get you through the night.
-Amadeus is patient with your recovery. He knows something like this isn’t going to go away overnight, and that it’ll probably take a long time. But he’s going to do whatever he can to help you through this and is there whenever you need him. He’s always available for you.
Amadeus with an s/o who is almost, (but not completely. They can still see the contrast between light and dark.) blind loves to listen to music.
Amadeus with an Almost Blind S/O who Loves Music
Gosh, he hopes you can see him alright. At least his figure. He doesn't want to pry much into your disability out of respect, but if there's anything he can do around the floor to help you get around better he'll be happy to oblige! Besides, as long as he gets to have you there to listen to his songs, you're both happy.
His ghostly form is usually hidden to you under the bright lights of the stage as he plays. It looks like the piano is playing itself! Amadeus gets to experiment. He comes up with darker lighting more often, and you get to see the man behind the piano play. He sways happily, almost dancing in his seat to the music. It's very cute.
If you point this out to him, he'll admit it's much more fun to perform knowing his beloved (you!) can finally see him better! It's butterflies in his stomach, but as the passion courses through him, he can't help but get lost in the melody. And he gets so much joy knowing that you feel the same.
Steward never had much time to play video games... Nor was he ever really good at them. But whenever he has a free moment, he'll try to join you! On rare occasions too some of the goobs may even want to game with you, if you let them. Sometimes a family is you, a ghost, and his multiple hoard of similar looking ghost friends
More often though he'll want to watch you play. Its more fun for him, plus you get to show off your epic gamer skills (or lack there of)! Even if you mess up on something, you two have a good laugh! And Steward will encourage you to try try again.
You two sometimes plan dates where you both just sit in your room and play through a new game or finish one you've been at for a while. Its a huge thing too, with snacks and blankets and all! Steward gets suuper invested in the stories and challenges of puzzles, its a huge celebration whenever you or you both get past something difficult or through a main plot point. He's always looking forward to whatever more games you get!
Morty and Amadeus with an s/o with extremely good art, like the best art they’ve ever seen, yet s/o keeps on claiming that it looks terrible and cringes when they see their art?
Honestly a mood with this one. I relate to the s/o a lot, just when it comes to writing since I don’t draw. Hopefully this is all right!
-Mod Pasta
Morty
-Morty didn’t mean to offend you when he looked without asking! He was curious, and you were sitting there with your sketchbook, drawing away, and he looked over your shoulder out of instinct. It’s something he does when it comes to his movies, and he tends to move around to get a good look at everything without thinking about it.
-He couldn’t contain the excitement when he saw your artwork – the detail! The creativity! It was magnificent! He was overcome with inspiration in that instant, but on the other hand, you were absolutely horrified that he saw. The sketch was nowhere near complete, and honestly you didn’t think it was even that good, and you kind of wanted to tear it out and set it aflame, and now that Morty saw it, you were really embarrassed that he had to see what you were considering to be yet another failure.
-He was worried that he upset you by invading your privacy, which he genuinely hadn’t meant to do, but when he realized that it was that you weren’t confident in your artwork at all, he wanted to help. He’s familiar with the feeling, sometimes experiencing his (more dramatic) downs when it comes to film making.
-But he’ll give you so many compliments on your art. You’re going to drown in them. He absolutely loves your work, and he’s going to make that known. The colours, the linework, the details, he’ll tell you about anything that makes his heart flutter with inspiration. You almost think he’s making it all up, but he’s really not. He loves all forms of art, and it’s something that makes him passionate. He adores your work and wants you to know that.
-Morty tries other small things to improve your self confidence, knowing that it isn’t something that just appears overnight. For example, he’ll ask for your input on his designs. Making a movie comes with making a poster for it, and he values your opinion highly. Even if you follow up your thoughts with “but I’m not sure, it might be bad”, he’ll try it out and let you know what he thinks. You have a great sense of design even if you’re not confident in yourself, and often your ideas come out to be exactly what he’s looking for!
Amadeus
-Amadeus wonders what it is you’re so often working on in that sketchbook of yours that you’ll sometimes carry around. He only knows that it’s full of drawings because of the way your hand moves on the page – it’s not the way one would write words down, he observes – but he does wonder what exactly you do draw. Despite his curiosity, he isn’t one to pry, but he does hope that you’ll show him one day.
-He ends up seeing it on accident, too. You had left the room to go get some snacks, and of course, you carried your sketchbook with you, worried that someone would steal it or look inside when you weren’t present. But on the way back, the addition of a drink and your favourite snack available on the fourth floor of the hotel made it harder to carry everything at once. Sure, you could carry it all a little bit, but eventually the sketchbook just slipped out of your hand, and it happened to open up as it hit the floor.
-Amadeus was nearby, and naturally when he saw you struggling, and he reached down for the sketchbook to help you. He ended up seeing the art you had drawn – it was hard to not look at what he was picking up – and he was amazed. For a moment he was shocked that this is what you had been hiding from everyone.
-He carefully closed the sketchbook and held it out to you, saying that your work was lovely in an attempt to lighten up the situation, considering you were absolutely mortified that he saw it.
-When you denied the compliment instantly, shaking your head and saying that you knew the art was terrible and that he didn’t need to lie. If he wasn’t shocked before, he was certainly shocked now. You thought your art was bad? How? He thought it was incredible, so why did you cringe when he opened the sketchbook back up to the page?
-He understands how there are times when it’s hard to be satisfied with a piece, but it was clear that you hated all of your work. Each time you insult your art, he’ll point out all the details he likes about your piece. Finding small things is what he enjoys about such things, to see the more subtle parts that make up and add to the whole, so he’s got lots he can say on this subject with anything you show him!
-If you’re open to it, he’d love to let you design some of the portraits on the fourth floor. If you do, there’s still times where you cringe when you see it in the hallway, but all the ghosts love it all! You can often find a goob admiring your work, and they’re not afraid to let you know how much they like it, either. Amadeus is sure to let everyone know that it was you who made it if you choose to not keep your work anonymous.
Amadeus with a german S/O. It has to be done at some point.
Amadeus with a German S/O
- Same hat!! He’s glad to have someone else at the hotel that gets where he’s coming from (literally). He’ll often speak to you in German, and you two pass along notes to each other in German as well. It’s like a secret code of yours as very few other ghosts (possibly none) around know German!
- He has an entire stash of books and records of music that he wants to share with you, because you can fully understand it’s depth and beauty. And even if you don’t he’ll happily explain and converse with you on the materials. It’s a nice bonding experience special to the both of you.
- The meals! The holidays! All things he also gets to share with you that he hasn’t experienced in so long. He has been out of Germany and at the hotel for a long time, and he really misses the place. You’re like a little piece of home to him, and you remind him of so many great things… A void in his heart that he didn’t even know was there is filled with your company.
Oooo Morty with a s/o who has dissociative identity disorder and has different plurals? (Maybe s/o’s other plurals also see him romantically?)
Morty with an S/O who has DID
It may take a light conversation to tell him that no, it is nothing like in the movies. Past that, he's real quick to catch on and learn! He for one welcomes you, as this means he has more friends to make!
He thankfully doesn't make a big deal out of it. Though every time a different plural fronts, he is enthusiastically excited to introduce himself and get to know them. He hopes to not be a stranger to the system! He'll also catch you up on anything you may have missed when you come back.
Morty has SO much love to give, when the plurals love him back its the best feeling. At first he's taking notes on everyone's likes and preferences, until eventually it becomes natural to him. He's sure to set aside proper time to ensure that you and the others are loved
