I was watching HBO's The Pitt the other night and thought that they looked similar... so naturally I headcanoned them as brothers bc my brain just works like that :p

Xavier Baxter (School Spirits) & Frank Langdon (The Pitt)

LIKE LOOK AT THEM

Frank grew to despise his dad and while studying medicine, left that state to get away from him (sadly leaving his younger brother back home to deal with his shit). Langdon left their Wisconsin town to practice medicine in Pittsburgh, where he invites Xavier over the summer so they can hang out. They both have their own set of problems... and I love them for that lmao

If y'all like medical dramas without the doctors and nurses having quickies in the break room every goddamn episode, check out The Pitt! It's fucking awesome :)))

oh wow... i don't know why that hadn't clicked for me while watching the episode... fucking hell

what do you mean simon had to hold maddie's dying body

you read my mind. YES. exactly this

god, i love the contrast we got between Martin and Anderson in the show; their roles as teachers, their messy antagonistic roles throughout the seasons, and just the way Mr. Martin could've done things differently... but he did what he did and fucked up astronomically bad. Then he gets called out by someone of equal authority! Which is AMAZING.

Obviously, the ghost kids can tell him all the ways he messed up by betraying them, using them for experiments, etc. but the real dig at him can only be done by someone who's gone through rough shit like him and is still able to say that he would've never done what he did to his students. To hear his actions be said by a voice of authority and maturity.

Honestly, I would've enjoyed seeing more interactions between the two. Stick 'em in a room with comfy couches, snacks, and drinks, and let them just talk shit out (maybe definitely let Anderson rock Martin's shit). They both need someone to talk to and an ear that listens. plus, Martin could've finally interacted with someone his age rather than depend on his 15 y/o student for the last sixty years or so.

i have so much respect for mr. anderson. i absolutely love his character

there’s so much focus in media on all the ways a teacher can be bad. in the reveal of an authority figure being untrustworthy. in someone taking advantage of the power dynamic between a teacher and student

and i get that it can make for a really interesting storyline- obviously because it’s worked so well with mr. martin- but mr. anderson is such a nice change

especially in season 2, he is such a great example of all the ways a teacher can be good. teachers are some of the most important people in a kid’s life. they can have some of the biggest impacts- for worse, sure, but also for better.

mr. anderson became a teacher for all the right reasons. he cares about his students. we see it in a more personal way with maddie, but it’s even evident in the way he interacts with these ghost kids he just met.

we all know mr. martin was in the wrong, that he is the bad guy in this. we know it, and the students know it. but it’s different- for the students especially- hearing someone say it? hearing an adult say it?

you can hear it in in mr. anderson’s voice- what mr. martin did, hurting his students like he did, it would never cross mr. anderson’s mind. and his first instinct is to protect the kids, to tell mr. martin just how ashamed he should be

idk it’s just so refreshing to see an authority figure who really is good. who really does care and isn’t afraid to call a bad teacher out. even when kids are in high school- they’re still kids. they still rely on adults to keep them safe

so that cliffhanger, eh? 👀

spoilers below:

okay, no but in all seriousness wtf!

SIMON IS TRAPPED WITH MR. MARTIN -- or at the very least have interacted with each other. We have yet to know if he'll only be stuck in the scars or if he can leave them and interact with the other ghosts.

Maddie's back in her body and Xavier can still see ghosts?? Apparently, he can only see the ghosts in the hospital (or at least only see her dad). Which makes me wonder if Maddie will be able to see the ghost gang when she goes back to school.

Jeez, this season finale is giving me a lot of fanfic material...

SCHOOL SPIRITS: 2 x 07

yes! oh. my. god.

The way they completely wrote him out?? I really wanted him to meet the ghost kids, talk to them, help them out in ways Mr. Martin didn't, or idk... PROTECT THEM when an eventual conflict arises when Mr. M in Anderson's body comes to school. Anderson sees him in his own body/actually sees Mr. M in his sill sweater vest and decks him (idk, screw ghost rules) and smacks some sense into him lmao

why is mr anderson written out of the plot?? like… where is he?? so much could have been addressed with him, there was room for development for so many characters including himself and maddie, like?? i feel this is why we need more than eight episodes

minor spoilers for s2 ep7 regarding Mr. M and Janet

Was not expecting Mr. Martin being Janet's key to be canon 👀 In the long fic I'm currently outlining, I had come up with my own timeline of events (a mix of canon and hcs) in which I wrote that Janet was holding onto Mr. Martin when she/they died... am I psychic or what? jkjk

I'm a little worried about what's going to happen in the last episode/when the truth of what actually happened in the fire is revealed.

Also, I really want to write this long fic but school is swamping me 😭

REAL! Look, I love Wally just as much as the other guy... okay, maybe not as much lol. He's such a cool and supportive guy but when I search School Spirits on Tumblr, all I get are posts about Wally (and Milo), Wally x Reader fics, smut, headcanons, etc. I want to see the same effort be made to other characters and relationships pls 😭

(also doesn't help that I'm not as attracted to Wally the way I am to other characters *cough* Simon and Yuri *cough*)

Wally: Charley, what do IDK, LY, and TTYL mean?

Charley: I don’t know, love you, talk to you later

Wally: Ok, I love you too, I’ll just ask Rhonda.

ok chat this is the last one for today ok

Still writing the fair fanfic but have this in the meantime. Prompted by @cloudedhologram's post where we + @simonssweater came up with Xavier "winning" the bear for Simon at a county fair. The meme format was too funny to pass up I just had to do it.

lowkey disappointed by the lack of Mr. Anderson in this episode but boy did I laugh watching him hit a golf ball into the punch bowl. Like, I really wanted him to get more involved with the ghost kids, but I guess this week's episode was the filler episode (although we did get some GREAT scenes and interactions).

That final scene with him and Maddie though was *chef's kiss* love him <3

After everything that's happened to him at the school and to him while dealing with an alcoholic parent all his life... yeah, he needs something to destress lol

Maddie: i gotta find out how i died i gotta catch my bodysnatcher i gotta get my body back i gotta figure out why Simon can see me i gotta find out what janet and Mr Martin were up to i gotta figure out the secret to crossing over

Mr Anderson: I'm gonna play indoor golf

i just realized i need some school spirits merch 😭 I don't have any but i can get pretty crafty... what the hell do i do?

would we want hand holding magnetic charwall charms? holding two halves of a heart? GUYS WHAT WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE !!!

a little sneak peek, if you will.

this might not be the final draft but it's a scene I find extremely adorable (I love my OCs)

p.s. if anyone speaks/reads Tagalog pls help bc I do not and am relying on google translate and other websites lol

p.p.s I don't have names for Simon's mom and sister so I'm open to suggestion

Xavier the type of guy to ask Simon to be his Valentine (and be nervous about it) after they’ve been dating five years.

Simon thought it was dumb the first time he asked, he quickly realized how sweet it was.

no bc this is exactly how I feel reading y'all's posts about anything School Spirits/Savier related. It's like a ping-pong game and I'm watching the ball fly through at incredible speeds as we bounce ideas off of each other or make content lol

FYI this is me replying to oomfs on tumblr

did not expect their friendship/dynamic this season but i'm enjoying it so much that i'm scared something gonna happen to one (or both of them.

We tell her. Together.

shit, this song's going in the playlist now ig!

Also, love the way @simonssweater put the two images to make them look like they're actually looking at each other 🫶 (they're so cute)

“You with the dark curls,

You with the watercolor eyes.”

In some of the different ships I love.

I need inspiration to write some Simon x Xavier, send in your fave songs that remind you of them pls 🙇

actually, wait. I just thought of a cute idea based off of my own comment on the original post.

The two of them go to the annual fair and Xavier tries to get the biggest bear for Simon but loses miserably. So Simon, not wanting to make him feel bad, plays for it and wins it (I mean, have you seen his arms this latest episode??). He plays it off as Xavier winning it for him but makes him carry it around bc Si doesn't want to lug it for the rest of the night.

They split custody of the bear and even drive it around sometimes when they have to do the custody exchange.

brb I gotta go write this as a fic now

Xavier the type of guy to ask Simon to be his Valentine (and be nervous about it) after they’ve been dating five years.

Simon thought it was dumb the first time he asked, he quickly realized how sweet it was.

Mr. Anderson has become my favorite adult on the show. And now he's joined the ghost gang?? OH. SIGN ME UP.

Also, his muffled and frustrated "what the fuck!" is gonna play in my mind on a loop for all eternity. He's just a silly little guy. I'm gonna put him in my pocket.

Oh, he embezzled marching band uniform funds? Umm, nuh-uh. Your Honor, he was in a silly goofy mood to pay off his father's mistakes. I, uh, rest my case :P

Although School Spirits is rated as TV-M, it isn't too graphic or dark in certain aspects (except for the obvious death/murder). It's considered a supernatural teen drama, but can you imagine if there was a darker aspect to the spirits' deaths? the little things from each of their deaths that linger with them in limbo?

On the rare occasions when Wally's quiet, people can hear the sound of bone grinding against bone when he swivels his head.

Sometimes Charley speaks with a rasp, his voice laced with a wheeze like he can't really breathe.

Rhonda will occasionally bleed from her head, the fabric of her hat dented and matted with a dark spot. Don't stand too close, you might see the bruising underneath her turtleneck that eerily looks like a hand.

The smell of smoke, singed hair, and skin linger around Mr. Martin and Janet. There are times when they don't speak much, their throat itchy and tired from coughing due to smoke inhalation. Blink and you might miss the pink rashes and blisters that appear on their skin.

Periodically, Quinn and the band kids have road-rashed band uniforms, their instruments bent/dented, and shards of glass embedded in their skin and clothes.

This one's more lighthearted: The sound and faint feeling of buzzing grow the closer you stand next to Dawn. If given the chance, she can shock the other ghosts by poking them; she giggles when they flinch.

Will revisit when Yuri's death is revealed :(

I keep opening social apps to see if there are simon x xavier edits/fics like I open the fridge expecting an entire meal to magically appear...

then i inevitably take out the ingredients bc i know i have to make it myself :')

um so where the fuck are all the simon x xavier edits at….like y’all ain’t seeing the gay chemistry between them…they’re bfs 🫶

and nicole and claire are gfs. and so are rhonda & quinn…like??? they’re all gay 2 me.

Simon crying (on top of being drunk lol) bc there's a weight off his shoulders about Maddie, her spirit, and her still being alive. Like shit, he was doing this solo for the better part of 2-3 weeks?? Now he has someone he can talk to who's alive and who believes him.

this scene/interaction is everything to me. i love them, your honor.

SCHOOL SPIRITS (2023-) S02E03―Can't Hauntly Wait

I've honestly really enjoyed seeing Simon and Xavier interact this season. Here's to hoping the writers don't fuck it up

Xavier and Simon's friendship has barely existed so far and I'm already a big fan of it

Literally, why can't I find anything on these two 😭 They have such potential -- I can't write for another fandom!

Enemies to lovers: Simon Elroy x Xavier Baxter

To commemorate the wrinkled orange assuming office today, I'm going to write gay porn. Do I already have something in my drafts? yes. Am I going to make it even filthier? Hell yes, I am.

i miss them 😔 💛

thinking about them again…

their bill design gives me life Q-Q

bill posting on main

*bangs hands on table* I love this au T-T

An inconsistently drawn comic based on the BillStill AU by @jellynut !

I really like this AU for a number of reasons, but my number 1 is the simple horror of having no privacy, and the idea of a character trying to bond with their family while knowing a demon is overhearing/mocking every bit of vulnerability. (I also have a comic about Bill messing with one of Stan's memories because I'm a sucker for psychological mess-ery, but it was too ugly to post!!) Have this drawing which is less unfinished and therefore allowed to be here.

I swear, I need to stop wanting to write fics for every amazing piece of fanart I see 😭

Multiple screenshots I edited recently to make grunkles look like cousins

I wonder if there’s an au like this, if not Im gonna make one

Please, Not Him

Watched the mirror scene one night and got possessed to draw this. Hehe, enjoy! :))

HA HA! Oh, I didn't think this would have me cracking up so much. I imagine Stan singing this so often and it has me thinking what he's doing that he has to keep singing it, or he just misses Mabel.

I think it'd be funny if Ford reads up on using music and its effects on the mind when it comes to memory in order to help Stan. So then Bill's just hearing Stan listen to all kinds of songs... and then, of course, Disco Girl starts playing (bc the twins made him a tape/cd). It would drive Bill up the wall... until he starts singing them himself lol

Managed to crank this bad boy out. Hope y'all enjoy it :)
