And I Am Not Sorry What So Ever

Hehehe another Blithe Spirit doodle page be upon ye! Is this just Edith torture? Maybe but that’s beside the point.

My shitty handwriting transcripts:

Concept 1+2: After a seemingly peaceful 5 year break, Charles comes back to the house under the suspicion that Ruth and Elvira have fully passed over. Very quickly, after a…rather unfortunate run in with Edith and Arcati, he finds that they’re very much still here and have grown stronger over the years. They’ve now moved past simply throwing objects in favor of brief apparitions and possessions. It takes a lot to achieve, but having a beacon of spiritual energy working at the house makes it significantly easier.

Types of Apparitions:

1. F.B.A (Full Body Apparition)

See through, clear form, white out eyes. Hardest to achieve

2. Shadow

Classic “shadow in the corner of your eye”, white eyes still, faded outline

3: Partial Limb

Specific body parts, easiest to do, has been done accidentally

.

Charles’ Text Box, middle upper right: “Ruth, Elvira, please stop tormenting Edith so much. We can’t just hire some other maid.”

.

First Meeting/Sighting:

Charles: “Y-You- but you- we- how’re you here?”

Elvira: “oh please, how do you think we’re here?”

Ruth: “more accurately, visible”

.

Things Edith Has Been Put Through:

Shoved down the stairs

Tricked into admitting she can see ghosts

Hypnotized

Used as a human gramophone

Possessed

Dragged around

.

Edith’s text box, mid-low center: “Believe me, sir. I dislike ‘is jus’ as much as you”

.

Pulling ppl becomes a lot harder when a) you’re a ghost, and b) they’re (technically) asleep

LOOK AT THEM. LOOK AT THEMMMMM

Meet the amazing Karnak. The most father figure machine in town.

(They will interrupt him. Will he be pissed? Yes. Will he start over? Most likely not. Does he still love them dearly? Absolutely)

Who tf let me take statistics???

As it turns out, I’m not in fact immune to the Ineffable Husbands.

Today I watched my close friend (and bigger classic lit nerd than me) write an entire essay in our Snapchat chat room responding to the prompt “Why are all Classic Lit Protags some form of gay?” simply because she was bored

Oh intense daydreaming, my favorite coping mechanism, how I’ve missed thee

While doing my homework (Aka watching Mary Poppins to study a cockney accent) I’ve come to the shocking realization that my design for Charles Condomine is just George Banks.

I’m unsure what to do with this information

My god y’all really like that pumpkin….

So, continuing on my Blithe Spirit shit cause rehearsals have started- Turns out not only do I get to run around, speak in a cockney accent, and get hypnotized for my character-

I get to SING TOO

Shout out to all those who’ve ever written a whole ass play/musical because

DAMN IS THIS IS HARD
