tiktok comments i think school spirits characters would use

Now I'm not theater kid expert. But if Maddie told the theater kids that back in 1987 a member of the tech crew was killed by a falling light and she is now forever checking the lights to keep them safe. Mina would get a shrine made to her and flowers at every show.

School Spirits - Traitor Theory

I was rewatching School Spirits Season 2 with a friend the other night and a single shot changed my entire outlook on one of the characters. I think one of the cast is a traitor, possibly working with some big bad or at least keeping secrets in a huge way.

Spoilers for School Spirits S1 & S2 under the cut!

It says Traitor theory at the top, but what I really wanted to call this was:

School Spirits: Toxic Yuri

What started this:

Episode 6 of Season 2 we see the Gals doing a lot of investigating while the Boys attend Wally's School reunion. When telling this theory to my friends I started by asking them: What was the most exciting, distracting moment in all of season 2?

After they all said seeing Wally's entire ass down the studs, I amended my question: What is the second most exciting, distracting moment of the series and got the answer I was looking for:

The well gif'd TikTok dance to David Bowie's "Let's Dance"

I have seen a ton of GIF sets of this moment, but when re-watching the show I realize the GIF sets always cut out the one shot we get of what Maddie is doing during this time and this shot is the basis of my theory that Wally was right the whole time,

So what shot from the dance sequence am I talking about?

This one - I couldn't find a GIF online so I had to make one myself:

In the middle of the Dance sequence they have this single shot of Maddie, who is currently and importantly NOT in a scar at this moment. We don't find out for a whole episode that the lights flicker when someone enters their scar, so this moment goes by mostly unnoticed.

We have track of most other main ghost characters: Wally, Charley, Rhonda, & Quinn are dancing in the library, Maddie is in the hallway, and Mr. Anderson, while not present, is most likely too fresh off his ghosthood to even know how to access a scar. This leaves Yuri as our only real option for a main character who could be entering his scar.

So what was Yuri Doing in there?

Well, at the beginning of the next episode, while everyone else is having sexy sexy times, Quinn goes into her scar and finds the missing page of Janet's journal, the one that claims she was going lock everyone else away in their scars and leave them there.

So why do I think this was Yuri's doing and not Quinn's? Because Yuri was the only one who had access to the box Janet left in the Pottery Studio - the box where Charley find's Janet's Journal earlier in the season, which already has pages missing from it. Its clear that Yuri knows Janet can create permanent objects and he starts talking to Charley very quickly for someone who has been lying about being able to speak English since the 70s. I would love to believe its because Charley is just that irresistible, but Charley has been around since the 90s. Why now? Why would Yuri try to get in with Charley now specifically. He gets in with Charley very quickly, explaining away his reason for not talking with the others by immediately denouncing Mr. Martin.

Watching the later episodes with this in mind I started viewing everything he said or did with a layer of suspicion. He barely walked into the book racks before coming up with a theory about dopamine receptors in the library when helping Wally and Charley decode parts of Janet's book. He agrees very quickly to going to the dance with Charley as a date for someone who's been a recluse. He even knows how to get into his own scar and that his lighter is his Key - and Yuri, unlike Quinn, never mentions to anyone about going into his scar for the first time, and when we do see him in the last episode when everyone meets up in Rhonda's scar, he doesn't look any more traumatized than the others. In fact, he looks more upset when he sees Charley's scar.

I don't know exactly what he's doing but his main objective appeared to involve making sure Janet gave back Maddie's body no matter what. He frames it as more Yoda wisdom, but I am suspicious of the way he talks to Wally in Episode 7 to convince Wally to let Maddie go. Even the way he's lit in this scene (for those of you who like lighting design theory) shows his face half in light and half in shadow, something I teach to my students as the Harvey Dent Lighting, showing a character is two faced or playing two sides at once. I'm just so suspicious of his motives here. Like why make Wally feel worse than he did before?

Finally at the end of the season I noticed that more often than not Yuri is in the background of almost all of Mr. Martins shots. This isn't so much a grounded theory as my film prof (I teach film classes) brain coming into play, where they are trying to create a visual relationship between Mr. Martin and Yuri on screen by putting them visually together, which Yuri visually having Mr. Martin's back.

My theory is that Yuri knew about Mr. Martin needing Janet to forgive him to move on, and if he does, Mr. Martin will give Yuri something in return. I don't know if Yuri's motivation will be all that bad, and I'm fairly certain he's going to catch feelings for Charley for real if he hasn't already but I do think Wally was right:

Yuri is a spy, and he is lying to all of them.

This here is a girl who deserved the world. Dawn was true to herself right up until the end. She was mocked in life, mocked in death, yet found appreciation in her surroundings, rarely ever showing any anger or malice for the way she had been treated in life and death.

Dawn was a fighter, and she never gave up, hope was what kept her going, maybe not the hope for crossing over, but the hope that things would get better, she always believed they would.

She did things that no other spirit could or had up until that point, what even Janet wasn't brave enough to do, she confronted what happened to her, and learned to live with it. She found beauty in every situation, and while she died of electrocution, she knew it wasn't what she deserved.

Dawn truly was a good friend, and she deserved to be treated as such.

Sincerely, the General Waste

I love how an almost 2 minute trailer of my favorite show comes out and the first thing I post is the sex scene…

Okay in all seriousness i’m FREAKING out so i’m gonna rant.

• I’m so glad Maddie convinced Simon she was real and not a delusion. ALSO, now all of the characters are in on the mystery??? I’m screaming. How TF did Maddie convince him after all that BS???

• I still have so many questions. Like, why and who was CHOKING Xavier??? Why is he always catching Ls 😭😭

• We get to see Wally’s death???? So hey.. i wasn’t ready for that…! I wonder if we’ll see Rhonda and Charley’s as well?

• In some of the trailer clips Wally and Simon are in the same room. I actually really wanna see them communicate somehow. I’d love to see their dynamic. (mostly because Simon is obviously gonna be pissed off)

• I’m so sure Mr. Martin killed Janet and maybe some of the other ghosts. He is so shady there’s NO way it was an accident.

• Is Maddie going to get her body back?? If she does, there’s no way she can be with Wally 🙁. At first i thought the kiss in the teaser was just heat of the moment but now they’re getting FREAKY???? (i’m not complaining at all). Also we finally get to see Wally out of those crazy ass sweats. Thank the lord 🙏🙏🙏

• I know she literally stole Maddie’s body but I kind of feel bad for Janet…

(i think i should make a side blog since 99% of my followers are here for josh hutcherson and not my crazy rants… sorry!)

"Wally Clark is everywhere.

He is the little dance Maddie does when she hears Steppin’ Out. He is the butterflies in her stomach when Maddie searches pictures of the Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal, and he is the goosebumps she gets after getting into a cold pool."

It's fine. I'm fine😭😭😭 I'm only on chap 2 and I'm already losing it! Omg!
