i was there, remember? — from @rctgrrrl
“you were?” time has a tendency to bleed together after decades surrounded by the same scenery day in and day out. even harder to keep track once you get the ghosts he doesn't talk to day in and day out involved. no offense to the others. “are you sure? i could have sworn that happened before you got here. or was that that other girl…” other ghosts bleed together too, apparently. unfortunately not even death can fix the mild brain damage that direct hits to the head can do. but in his defense, there are a startling number of them around here.
fyi if we’re mutuals you have full consent to be as feral as you want in asks and dms

do you remember what i told you last time?
have you been doing well since i saw you?
that's not what you told me back then.
when was the last time i saw you?
you were shorter then.
i'm picking the restaurant this time.
we've known each other since we were children.
always knew i could count on you.
that time was different. this is worse.
you're not going to let me live that down, are you?
i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.
so you changed your mind about it?
do you remember our encounter in paris?
you should know me by now.
am i the only one that knows the truth?
we had a lot of help back then.
your mom told me to look out for you.
you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.
maybe don't mention my past indescretions?
this was never going to work out between us.
i told you not to get attached.
i know more about you than you think.
i was there, remember?
i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.
you told me you were going to try and make this work.
remember what i said to you?
the last time i saw you, things were good between us.
you never mentioned this before.
that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.
can i still trust you after all that?
at least we tried to make something work.
we never discussed what happened between us.
okay, but i'm driving the car this time.
i haven't forgotten what you said last week.
i'm still thinking about your comment.
i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.
you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.
there's not much for us to talk about.
we worked it out last time.
i know you far better than you know yourself.
we have a long history.
is that the shirt you were wearing last time?
what don't i know about you?
i haven't told them about us.
you were the only person i could go to.
you know me.
this is bigger than both of us.
i can't stand your driving.
are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?
that's not at all what you said.
didn't we agree on that?
i thought i made it very clear where i stand.
are these the same people that came after you last time?
are you still going on about it?
can we talk about it?
staying silent about it won't help.
you're the only person who knows the real me.
this is a bad time to talk about your problems.

send 💭 to get a peek at some of my muses usual internal dialogue / thoughts!
wally has a crazy case of internal echolalia. this is not helped by the fact that kids these days are horrific at wearing headphones when they're on their phones in public. so he picks up a lot of phrases / vine quotes / tiktok audios and replays them in his head when going about his day. mostly in his head or very quietly to himself. greatest hits include:
lots of food related ones. like any time he's around food. “it's an avocado…thanks” / the combination pizza hut and taco bell song / the mcdonalds in the pentagon song ( even though he doesn't totally understand the joke at the end ) / hamilton eating oreos in a parked car / etcetera etcetera, i could go on all day
i'm just ken and on the flip side, the snl pete davidson sketch version. at random, throughout the day.
“why you so small? why you so tiny?” every time he becomes aware how much taller he is than the people around him
i am still thinking about this btw
wally is an only child but the idea of him having a little sibling kills me a little bit but i do want it so if anyone wants oc ideas, aha-
and another dog metaphor that i'm fond of actually

i told you not to get attached. — from rhonda @splitrivers
yeah, she did. and as usual, it was in one ear and out the other. yet here he is, still moping around like a sad golden retriever. “what was i supposed to do instead?” it's genuine question. in his mind, the options were doing exactly what he did — throwing absolutely all of himself into everything he physically ( incorporeally? ) could — or sit by doing nothing and earn himself another forty years stagnating in afterlife support group. “i don't know how to not do that. i would have done the same thing for any of you.”
