Okay so I had that for writing the post but I'm leaving it in so you see why I procrastinated so long lol. Here I am, having scrolled months (twice, because I accidentally hit back while in late March lol) through my drafts xD. So, without further ado: let's do this 😎
It's finally time gang. Now for some of the stuff I wrote forever-sometime long ago. This is my. .
School Spirits: Season 3, Episode 8: Dawn of the Deb - REVIEW!!!
OKAY SO!!
Claire and Nicole ATE UP at that meeting 👏👏👏!! I'm so proud of them 🥹🥰. I've really loved their journeys this season, Claire especially (though Nicole's storyline of infiltrating the mean girls, and ending up getting the proof they used here, was amazing). It was all about standing up against this systemic bigotry and hate, especially in the name of “progress”, and it just fit the show so well. And AAHHHH THEY FINALLY SAW GHOSTS :DDD 🥹🥹🥹🥳🥳!!!! I'll talk about it more when I talk about Rhonda and Quinn but I just really loved that it was them that Claire and Nicole saw :). Anyway, they did great 👏. Honestly probably the best people to do it lol. I was also glad to see there were other students there :) because it wouldn't just be them! They're just the ones with the proof of the political behind it lol. Also, lowkey respect to the board guy for being like “nah we gotta do this stuff, we're doing it” even while the Superintendent was actively tweaking in front of him xD iconic lol. And the way she was gone when they all looked over 😬😫 AGH!! It was really good but I just KNEW it was not good lol. I also believe I was like “ohh noo is she gone” as it panned over xD Anyway, loved that whole storyline <3.
Y'ALL WHEN I SAW DAWN AGAIN 🥹🥹🥹 OUR QUEEEEN 🥳🥳🥳🥹🥰😭👏 SHE RETURNS TO US!!! And her being able to be there and help Maddie through :’D y'all I loved it so much <3. Also, for Marigold fans out there, this was all huge news (of them like being there together and having each other’s back and stuff). I support it 👏. I also love that we got to see more of Dawn’s intelligence and survival skills, because while she seems kind of ditzy on the surface we know our girl is very observant, and she could definitely survive (in a sense) the forest. PROUD OF HER!! SO GOOD TO SEE YOU DARLING 🥹.
AND JANETTTT AAAHH OUR GIRL 🥹🥹🥹😭🥰🥳 SHE'S OKAY AND WE SAW HER AGAIN :’DDD!! Well okay in a relative sense yk. But she's still in the forest and not stuck in a memory so I call that a win <3. And also she's slaying it down while she's there!! Her and Dawn y'all <33? My queens. I am lowkey here for Marigold but I'm not like the most ardent shipper you'll ever find for it, I just agree <3.
Okay so let's talk forest theories stuff real quick. I don't think it's a “oh crossing over is fake” thing, I think this is just the next step. They say don't go across the river or you won't come back, but I genuinely think that it's the next or even final step to actually moving on. Yeah you won't come back - won't come back /pos xD. Especially considering not only Simon’s mom was over there, but White Eyes and the kids (which was 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 by the way but we'll get to that later). Although I do think it's possible that that's just someone being there to welcome them rather than like, the person is just on that side of the forest if that makes sense lol. And then there's everything with the memory mirror things. I've seen a couple people mention this, and I lowkey agree with it: I think the forest is about facing the good in your life too. They face their fears and trauma and bad memories in the school, and then have to actively choose not to stay in the good memories in the forest. Kind of sucks that it seems to be a “letting go of everything” way, but it can be beautiful. And I can cope by imagining them all happy in the afterlife together lol (as opposed to just like ceasing to exist skfhdks). Anyhoo, I suppose we'll find out. But no matter what, it is super cool man :O.
Rip Kyle 😔 I hope you're off being an icon somewhere. Well frankly I just hope you're okay given everything you must be experiencing xD o.o. And speaking of the hospital/living people, Livia helping Maddie 🥺🥺 wait honestly slay. It was a bit of a quick turnaround but I appreciate that she doesn't want anybody hurt or in danger. Plus she saw her mom go absolutely crazy last night sooo lol. I'm just glad she kept Maddie safe <3 slay girl :).
Hey guys so I haven't edited this in months 😌 but we're back. It's been a long time so everything will probably be shorter because there's only so much I can remember lol.
SIMON AND HIS MEMORIES 😭😭😭??? Man I CAN'T do this. Kristian ate that UP 😭👏. I'm so glad Janet was able to be there to watch out for him but mannn. His eyes going white was terrifying dude. MADDIE BEING ABLE TO BRING HIM BACK THOUGH??? TO PULL HIM OUT OF THE WATER AND TO MAKE HIM REMEMBER??? GUYS I C A N ’ T DO THIS 😭😭🥺❤️. Her whole monologue there was just amazing, talking about him and all of their memories together. They are platonic soulmates and I love them so dearly ❤️❤️. I'm also so proud of them :’). ALSO THE MEMORY THEY WERE TRAPPED IN I CAN'TTTT that was SO good. The makeup and hair and costumes COOKED there too, but also just them 🥺🥺 and Wally being there to help pull Maddie out like she did for him 😭😭🥹 iconic all around. AND JUMPING THROUGH THE GLASS!! Agh iconic. Also just specifically everyone Simon knows flashing through when Maddie’s talking about them I 🥺 lovely.
And dude. The memories in the forest o.o. SEEING ALIVE WALLY?? KINDA?? Insaaane. First of all stellar vibe Wally, but also props to the props (ha) and costumes and set design and all that 👏 and the FILMING to it was just lit :OO. But also him hearing Maddie 😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺❤️?? Guys I can't even do this.
AND THEIR REUNION!!! GUYSSSS 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹😭😭❤️👏!! MY LOVELIES <3333. THEIR RUN AND THE SLOW MO AND THE HUG AND THE KISS 🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️ GUYSSS I'm actually so not okay <333. AND THE MUSICCC?? Top tier man, always is with this show. I'm so glad they got that man 😭😭🥹🥺. Also Wally being there just to look for Simon, to look for her, to help, to find a solution. And he's right there back at her side as soon as he sees her :’)) like guys I can't <33. I'm so happy for them :’D. We don't talk about later 😭. Well we will in a minute actually but we've gotta talk about another reunion hug first 🥹.
MADDIE AND HER DAAAAD UAAAAHHHHH 😭😭😭🥹🥹🥺💔💔❤️❤️❤️!!!! THEIR HUG MAN 🥺🥺🥺. I can't, he just wants to protect her so bad 😭😭 from going in there to the first place to searching for her to being right by her side just like Wally <33. I know he's gone like literally (bc yk. he's dead xD) but I'm just so glad that Maddie got a chance to hug him again, see him again, talk to him again 🥺🥺. That's her dad man <333 🥹. Their hug was just so lovely and sweet and I needed it <33. And speaking of protecting her, him and Xavier 🥹🥹?? Right there for her, literally on both sides of the veil? Dude I can't even ✋ I love them so much <3. Save and Xavier you're absolute icons 🫡🥹. They just love her so much man 😭🥺.
Dude the door closing behind Maddie 😦😦💔?? I actually can't. Like dude I knew it would happen but I hoped it wouldn't 😭 and it was so sudden for them like :(((. It's time to get into door theories because listen I NEED Maddie to be able to travel back and forth at will <333 like it's not necessarily EASY but I need her to be able to gang 🙏🙏. I will say, we know the doors aren't the end now, because there's the forest. I talked about the forest being the next step, which comes back into play here. These doors are just that: doors. They're not absolution or ascension, because they're not the end. They're just the next step. And though I use that phrase of course I don't mean that travelling would be going “back a step”, but I think they should be able to travel through. We've seen all the different doors are still there, and just think dude. It would be INSANE and EPIC if they could travel through to other ghost’s doors/ghost properties (as in places). And we've SEEN Van Heidt travel between people, escape bodies, go other places. My theory is that he figured out how to travel there – took his own door but maybe couldn't move on (emotionally) and pushed himself back through anger and malice instead. Also if I recall he's not dead but more like Maddie? But he might be dead idk it's been a hot second and I was never super clear on it 😭 xD. Anyway, if we have to chase him, I think it would be pretty sick if those already in the forest could help chase him across ghosts – and it would keep them involved in the plot. And Maddie being able to do it too? AUGH. Just delicious stuff.
Okay now dude. GUYS. Y'ALL!!!! THE MADDIE AND SIMON RETURN SEQUENCE I :OOOO 😮😮😮😮🤯!!! GOBS SMACKED!!! FLABBERS GASTED!!!! DUDE IT'S SO GOOOOOD UAGAHAUUHGHH!!! The editing is freaking SICK, the music is amazing and a perfect choice (the music choices in this show always SLAP 😌😌🙏), AND DUDE JUST!!! AAGGH!!! THE SYMBOLISM!!! THEY ARE BOTH FALLING BUT THEY CHOOSE TO FALL TOGETHER!!! THEY ARE ALWAYS REACHING TOWARDS EACH OTHER!!! LIKE GUYSSSSS!!!! My gosh. It was just SO well done, such a beautiful scene. And I'm just so proud of and happy for them :))) 🥹🥹. They made it out guys <333. Together :’D.
Okay I'm not gonna lie I don't really remember the Ralph lore well. But Mr. Martin communicating with him 🥺🥺 AND THEN STAYING DOWN THERE 😭😭🥺?? Man that got me a bit :’)) :((. I don't know that I think they're like destroyed or anything, but it was definitely risky. We've seen how much Mr. Martin’s changed and I love that :). It also hopefully helped with some of his guilt, being able to stay with Ralph this time <3. Also the pastor too :). So if I recall correctly- okay honestly I barely remember anything I think I'll have to rewatch that bit xD.
ALRIGHT I rewatched some of the episode and DANG I really did not remember much of this part lol 💀. Okay so WHAAATTTT RALPH IS LIKE OUT OF SYNC WITH TIME/CAN SEE THE FUTURE??? Absolutely insane 😦🥺. And he just didn't want them to be alone 😭😭😭🥺❤️💔. And they weren't :’). MANNNN 😭😭❤️!!! My question is, was it destined to happen anyway and he just sent Mr. Martin there/any time it happened, orrr was it more like destines for him to send people through which would cause the death time loop style? Idk lol, presumably the first but xD. And him and the passport being friends 🥺🥺. Love <33. AND THEN THE PASTOR PROTECTING THEM 😭😭🥺?? And it was similar to how Simon got knocked out D’:. Now I'm not sure if I noticed this at the time, but I'm assuming that basically just finally killed him since he was living (well kinda) stuck like Simon was. Though for Ralph it was that Van Heidt stole his body, right? I can't recall and I'm not rewatching other episodes lol. But man, that just sucks :((. I hope Ralph and Mr. Martin are both okay D:.
Okay so guys. CHURIIIIIII 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥺🥺❤️❤️😭😭😭🥰🥰👏!!!! GUYS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH UAAAGRAGHRH <3333!!! FIRST OF ALL THEIR SCENE OF CHARLEY JUST WANTING TO CHECK IN WITH AND LISTEN TO YURI 🥺🥺🥺🥺???! AND THE HAND HOLDING :’DDD???? GUYSSS GET ME OUT HEREEEE!!! I love them so much I'm not okay <333. I love Charley just trying his best and Yuri being like really I don't need to talk right now lol. They're learning to communicate my babies 🥺❤️ and they're doing GREAT 😤 <333. And MAN the way they look at each other!!! They're so in love it's ridiculous :’))). I was just losing it the whole time lol. Also “can we still hold hands sometimes?” I 😭😭😭😭😭✋❤️❤️❤️💔🥰 I CAN'T I LOVE THEM SO MUCH <3333 🥺🥺🥺🥺❤️🥹!!! They make me so sick /pos. And the way we can't see it on screen but you can tell that they're holding hands 🥹🥹. My gosh the lovelies <3. ALSO YURIII SKFJDKS. “That's not the only thing we can do that doesn't require words” SIR XD I support it lol <333. Also Yuri getting a little offended (lightheartedly) when Charley stops because of the smell of gasoline 🥺😭 stop they're adorable. And speaking of o.o DUDE getting to go from an emotional lovely churi conversation to them discovering an important and dangerous issue?? Huge. Love it.
And y'all o.o. I was already pretty dang suspicious of the Superintendent lol, but UAGH that moment of reveal was SO GOOD 👏👏!! I don't think I'd already figured out but I got it when she saw them I'm pretty darn sure. The urgency and churi going is already delicious but then HER SPEAKING TO THEM?? Ohhh my gosh. Absolutely iconic 🙌. I remember I'd had to stop watching the episode for the night or smth right after that and I had so many blorbo thoughts about that moment of reveal lol. Agh, just so well done :O. Charley and Yuri’s faces of shock, and then her realizing what she did – 👏. OH RIGHT AND THE RING!!!! It actually might've been the ring that I got immediately o.o I'm not sure lol. But again just such a good use of it and way to lead us through/to the conclusion just enough. Also combining our villains completely (on the same side lowkey but she wasn't really aware of it all yk) was lowkey crazy but great lol. Also I was SO SCARED of what might happen to Charley and Yuri there o.o. Because we didn't know (honestly maybe even still don't) if she can harm/affect ghosts while possessing someone. Anyway, would've been epic angst but thank goodness she just left lol.
And then the gang seeing her set the fire :O O.O 👏 OHH my gosh, iconic. Setting up the urgent issue for their side of the rest of the episode, everybody together, the DRAMA, the ANGST!! And of course the shock O.O though we already had the gasoline so I knew what was coming but 😬😬. A great scene for real 👏. Also though Superintendent Van Heidt, INSANE thing to do o.o xD. Like ik you are but just wild work.
I love seeing the ghosts work together (and also panic and run >:) ) with the plan, and the DRAMA augh, just so good. I knew the library being the drop point would be useful and YES aahgh they did it so well. I also love that it was Quinda <333. A) I love them 🤭, B) they cooked it up, C) Rhonda who loves yelling and Quinn a band kid can get attention slfjdk, and D) they were both silenced in life and in legacy, but not anymore :’). Also just love that they got to go through the angst together 😌😌. Oh and Mr. Martin was there sjdkls /silly xD. Forgot lowkey. But honestly yeah like him staying with Ralph 🥺🥺🥺😭 MANNN don't even get me started 🥺🥺🥹. He wouldn't leave him this time <333 (flashbacks to Ahsoka and Anakin. .). I don't think this is the end for them given that their ghosts, but if it was I think it was a good way for Mr. Martin to go out. Finally going back to the root/beginning of his guilt, being honest and out there and selfless. And he's a teacher - staying with a kid :’) <3. He was NOT at all perfect, and pretty lowkey evil sometimes, but he did good in his life and death :). I do hope he isn't gone though xd. Anyway him staying with Ralph was just so sweet 😭😭🥺.
But yeah Quinda ATE with their warning 👏👏 yelling to get the gang in gear, YES listen to them :DD! Also them getting to have that moment of sight and recognition with Claire and Nicole 🥹 LOVELY!!! Especially our girls and Quinn <333 (not grouping Quinn in with the girls just saying not the guys, but also like “sidekicks” who have come into their own). Such an awesome moment :DD. I was just screeching lol. AND JUST AGGHH THEY WERE SEEN!!! LIVINGS SAW THEM AND A L O T OF THEM!!! So sick, and could have wild repercussions o.o I assume it'll just be brushed off in the shuffle, and it's not like I'm expecting people to automatically recognize or remember them as ghosts or something lol, but a little confusion or intrigued would be awesome to see maybe 👀.
ALSO THE PASTOR GETTING TO PASS ON AND BE WITH THE CHILDREN AGAIN 🥺🥺🥺😭😭❤️💔🥹🥹!!?! AND THEM BEING HAPPY AND WHOLE ACROSS THE RIVER TOGETHER I CAN'T 😭😭😭🥺❤️. He was watching over them for so long, trying to comfort while also suffering and losing his memories and being broken down (even looking scary), but he finally got to move on :’). Truly pass in the first place, even, since if I recall correctly (again I really need to check back on the lore stuff because even right after watching I was a bit confused on some pieces lol - haven't gone back to edit the other part yet as of writing this xD if I even get around to it slfjdk) he was like Simon, not truly dead. I'm just so happy for him, and then <3333. They're safe and happy 🥹🥹❤️.
Dude they seriously burned that school o.o like plot wise xD wasn't just a tiny fire like they were BURNING that thing lol o.o. And speaking of,
UUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭❤️❤️👏👏👏🙌🙌 CHURI “I LOVE YOU”!!!! WHOOOOO 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥹🥹🥰!!! AGH THE MOMENT WAS JUST SO PERFECT FOR THEM!!!
Okay but backtrack real quick lol. I love the scene of everybody going on their paths, to the church and to go deal with the fire (though I was again terrified that they would try and deal with Van Deb - would've been amazing for angst of course 😌). Just AGH again the urgency, them working as a team, the cinematography!! Lovely stuff.
And then UAAAAHHHHHHH CHARLEYYYY I'M SO PROUD OF YOU 😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥹🥰❤️👏👏!!! He seriously did so good on his scar, I was so scared (and loving the angst) but him just brushing past everything for the sake of the mission and the school/everyone's lives and deaths I 🥹🥹. Get me out of here mannn <33. Side note, I love that they really were doing it for the livings. Who knows what would happen to them, maybe they'd cease to exist, but the people in the school were still alive. They just wanted to save them 🥺 <3. Anyway, Charley’s scar with the smoke especially was just AGH delicious. Also I of course love Yuri supporting him <33. I was also thinking of bringing the water through a scar so I was like YES when they thought of it too (and slayyy for Yuri’s figuring it out coming into play!)!!! Fascinating implications for the fact that the water did end up helping (WHOOOO!! 🥳🥳👏🥹), like maybe it's not just making stuff stay not reset in the ghost world, but letting them effect the real world - perhaps it's just that is messes with/blurs the boundaries there. Which- you know, we'll get back to that later xD.
Anyway THE I LOVE YOUUUU GUYSSS 🥹🥹🥹😭❤️👏 I love them so much oh my gosh. Just them fighting the fire by each other's side, and Yuri’s LOOK at Charley 🥹🥹😭 and Charley getting caught by his gaze when he glances up and I 🥺🥺🥺. “I really love you” UAAAHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭🥺🥺 ALSO YURI FEELING SOMETHING SERIOUS AFTER SO LONG ALONE AND RELATIONSHIPS THAT HE WASN'T SERIOUS ABOUT AND COMMUNICATING AND I AUGH <33333!!!! I'M SO HAPPY FOR AND PROUD OF HIM 😭😭❤️. Charley's shock, his little laugh, looking like he's tearing up 🥺🥺🥹, “You have terrible timing” AHHHH a little bit of silly and it lightens the situation and it's so THEM :’DD like Charley deflecting a little bit skdjlfs. But then he lets it, he lets Yuri in, he says “I love you too” :’)))). AAAAAHHHHHHHH <3333 h u g e. I'm so proud of and happy for him (too) <3. And the way they look at each other afterwards guuyyyss 😭😭😭❤️ I am not okay <333. I love them so much :’))). Stellar moments for them this episode overall <33 I'm just so proud of them and happy for them, I know I already said it but I don't care :). They were great this episode <3.
Y'allll that confrontation was so good O.O my GOSH. Van Deb appearing first as an outline and then walking in through the smoke with the lighting from the fire (I was gonna say fire lighting which either way it IS my gosh props to the set and lighting crews and everybody 👏👏). They are actually insane though 😳. I'm really interested to learn more about why Van Heidt hates it so much besides just being racist, like that ring and whatever surrounded it definitely had something to do with it. Also go off Xavier and Maddie calling him out 👏👏 iconic. Oh and the LAYERINGGG?? The voice layering transitioning into Van Heidt OOGHHH that was so good 👏. I am curious if Maddie was seeing Van Heidt or just us (and I doubt Xavier was lol). Anyway, the threats o.o uhh NOT good not gonna lie xd. Y'all have angered the 150 year old powerful evil racist xd unfortunate 😭. Also props to Van Heidt’s actor and PROPS 👏 TO 👏 MS. 👏 JENNIFER 👏 TILLY!!! She's been amazing this whole season but my GOSH was she good at being totally unhinged and insane lol. Also I took would feel nervous if she was walking up to me like that, even if the school wasn't on fire and I didn't know she was a murderous ghost lol.
YESSSSSS SIMON TAKING HER OUT 👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳💪 WHOOOOOOOO!!!! XD That was so ICONIC!!! AND YESSS WHOOOOOOO HE'S BACK 🥹🥹🥹🥹😭👏👏🥳!!! OUR KING RETURNS <333! And with amazing timing to knock them out too XD. Side note I love me he/she/them/maybe even it pronouns for Van Deb slfkds, especially because I know he would hate it 😌😌. Anyway, yes Simon :DD. AND A LIVING REUNION HUG 🥹🥹🥹😭👏❤️❤️❤️. GUYS IT'S THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE BOTH BEEN ALIVE AND GOTTEN TO HUG EACH OTHER IN WEEKS :’))) And it's felt SO much longer lol. I just know it can't quite be the same as in the forest (though not necessarily better/worse just like it's your BODY you know). They have each other back man :’). Also Xavier immediately going to go get help lol, our king <33. And he found it :D ayy 👏! Then Van Heidt’s shadow back in the smoke O.O SO good man :O 😦👏👏 but so scary given the implications xD.
I am so glad everyone's okay 😭. I mean they've been threatened to have their lives destroyed but uhh O.O xd. Also Xavier and his dad 🥹🥹. That hug was great <333. And seems like we've got another parent who knows o.o 👀! That'll be interesting for sure. Hopefully it's more helpful than not - I do think he can be pretty useful, we just have to hope he's not too overprotective slfkdk. Anyway, the moment was really great :’)). Good for them ❤️❤️. ALSO PRINCIPAL HARTMAN LOCK INNNN I need you to keep fighting for the school man xd.
Also uh how are the other ghosts doing o.o. Fern and Sarah and Elliot might have gotten out but I'm a little worried about Mina gang 💀 o.o. The band is probably fine xd. Hopefully they were all in untouched parts of the school nonetheless lol 😳. I just hope they're okay man 😭. Glad we got the bigger mentions of them earlier this season though :D hopefully one day we see them again :)).
Our gang coming together at the end 🥹. And their first time WITH the whole group all together :O. I know they'll have their issues but I'm so excited to see the whole gang working together next season :)). And hopefully they'll all get to have a little more connection with the ghosts since they've all at least seen ghosts 🥰. But yeeahhh I'm worried about Van Heidt o.o. I feel like it'll be more like reputation and personal than literally trying to kill them but. It'll also be interesting to see how he feels about Claire with her Finnish heritage o.o! Stressful 😬 but I'm super excited :).
Maddie going to check on the ghosts 🥹🥹❤️ guys I love them. Just to make sure they're alright and quickly update them <3 I just love that she thinks of them still - like those are her friends too :’)). Also they were all lowkey slaying their different poses in the bus stop slfkdj. Also smart of them all to wait there specifically since they can talk to Maddie there 👏. Again wondering how the other ghosts are doing xD. Anyway I'm glad they're all okay <33. Maddie having to mourn people all over/in a new way is so rough too :(( my poor girl. I'll talk more about that in a second but just 😭.
By the way I do hope that Deb doesn't want anything to do with these plans anymore when she comes back (I presume she's still at the hospital?) xD maybe she just has community service by plea of insanity LOL (I actually wrote that in a little narration about the school burning thing that I didn't finish lol).
Quinda sitting so close <333 actually love them. Also y'all have a REASON to be tired for real 😭. I personally normally headcanon that the ghosts can sleep sometimes they just don't need to/it's difficult but the idea that they can't and this would make them is great xD. Rhonda leaving out a bit about Mr. Martin :( I do hope he's okay - obviously they weren't still as close with him as they were with Wally, but we already saw how hard that was for them <3. And for Mr. Martin’s sake that he at least moved on lol. Also Rhonda smoking with Yuri would be iconic 👏 I need to see it lol. And then. Y'all O.O.
THE BOUNDARY IS GONE O.O :OOOO 😦😦😦!!!!???!?!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🙌🙌🙌🙌👏😦??? HUGE??? WILD too since Yuri had probably not done this much (love calling it jump the fence lol) and then just. Nothing XD. The shot of his foot falling and then just Actually Falling was GREAT too, especially as a callback to the transition of Maddie doing it in season 1!! HUGE. ANYWAY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :’DDDDD 🥹🥹🥹🥹 :O :’OO 🥰🥰🥰😭👏!!!! OUR LOVELIES CAN LEAVE!!! PRESUMABLY XD.
All of their shock was again ENTIRELY understandable, and so good lol. It's about to be INSANE y'all o.o.
My personal theory/idea is that the fire did literally burn it down – but also kind of not literally, if that makes sense lol. The trauma of the fire creating a new boundary is also a possibility :o! But personally I'm thinking that it was burning in both worlds – possibly because Van Deb set it, human but with a ghost in their body 👀? And his extra powerful travelling abilities. Charley and Yuri’s water could affect it, which means it was in the ghost world, and it was after making the water permanent that it worked, blurring that line already. I don't know exactly, but it's veeery interesting O.O. I'm excited to see where our gang can go :D. If I remember more of my specific wording later I'll come back or make another post.
Maddie and Simon seeing a horror movie together 🥹🥹 augh, good for them <33. But Maddie missing Wally 😭😭😭🥺💔 my gosh :’( she really has to mourn all over again. And like she lived (well. ha) with these people, you know? Spent near constant time with them for weeks. It's just rough, and I understand why it's a struggle :(((. But I'm glad she and Simon have each other :’)) <3. Also, Night of the Living Dead o.o xD.
AND THEN. AUUAGAGHHHHH. VAN SANDRA!!!! 😤😤😤😭😭😭. I knew before the reflection, maybe at the ring? I can't remember at the moment, all I knew was she was being suspicious (but I wasn't like totally immediately that's freaky or that's Van Heidt, yk?). But the ring and window reveal was SO GOOD augh. Also the SONGGGGG MY GOSH 😦😦😦😦😦💔😭 I WAS ALREADY TRAUMATIZED BY THIS SONG BY THE GOOD DOCTOR I CAN N O T DO THIS AGAIN!!! Anyway, so the Van Heidt attacks will definitely be personal, at least some xd. Like on a more personal than physical level. Also, where did he get Sandra? I assume she stayed at the hospital and he travelled back over there in his own? Or maybe she came to pick Maddie up that night? I don't know, strange :O. But certainly gonna have me tweaking 😭 xD.
So, yeah! That's it. My finale post is finally done O.O 😭😭🙏🙌 xD. Probably much less thorough than my original brain could've given, but hey, we got here after several months lol. Let's whack that OCD gang 😌😌. And I still managed to enjoy it :D.
I have to warn y'all, you're about to see a ton of revlogs of stuff I saved in my drafts, and a bunch of other random reblog drafts after the School Spirits stuff lol. Just go with it xD.
Overall, I really enjoyed this episode!! And this season as a whole. There's a lot of characters so it can be difficult to squeeze in an arc or storyline for everybody, but I think they managed it :). Not perfect, and some obviously had much more focus, but everybody had a little something, which I loved! There was so much mystery and love and silliness and tension o.o and just AGH it was lovely!! This episode especially was WILD, but I really loved how they closed off (with still openings for next season obviously) a lot of the plots :D. INSANE for sure, but I had an amazing time :)).
I hope y'all enjoyed finally reading this lol!! And my near daily churi posts xD which will probably not stop immediately but soon slfjkd. Have a wonderful day, and see y'all in season 4 🥹🥹🥹🥳🥰!!!
This has been my review of School Spirits, Season 3, Episode 8: Dawn of The Deb. Fire :D. See y'all next time!
Simon is stuck in the afterlife at least a week I believe. (His suspension letter is for 2 weeks.) So he should be able to see the split river school ghosts like Maddie right. After getting out? Unless he unlocked an ability like Maddie astral projecting and will be seeing ghosts everywhere.
Simon chatting with Nurse Calvert about what ever the fuck is going on now.
“Today school is closed, there’s nothing we can do. So, we’re just gonna take our minds off matters of life and death. And just…see a movie. …About death.”
