I think the reason non of the other ghosts have been sucked off yet is because they don’t want to.
Mary has said before that she wanted to be sucked off:
In The Thomas Thorne Affair(S2E4) she says “I used to dream of the day I would be sucked off’.
In Gone Gone(S4E4) she calls Robin a “lucky beggar’ when they think he got sucked off.
Whereas the other ghosts never express any want to move on:
In The Hardest Word(S4E3) the review(that Mary didn’t type) they say they never wanted to leave.
In Carpe Diem(S5E5) they’re all rather panicked at the thought that one of them may be sucked off.
So while I do think the ‘unfinished business’ trope does play a part in who gets sucked off (i.g. Mary had to talk about the trial), but those who want to stay will.
We talk about the brother relationship between James and Sirius and them calling each other brother and seeing the other as their brother (for Sirius his other brother)
But you know what we don’t talk about enough
PANDORA AND REGULUS ARE ALSO SIBLINGS
Is it weird that I’m more excited for the ghost Christmas special than I am for Christmas?
Or they make a sequel and we all be like “the first one was better”
No, no, NO! You don’t understand! If they were going to make a movie called “Goncharov” it would have to be a modern REBOOT of the 1973 film. Then everyone would have the right to consume the media while simultaneously complaining about how “it isn’t as good as the original” or “I can’t BELIEVE that they left out the iconic part XYZ”. We get to watch the film and preserve the original. Everyone wins.
I did that already, give me a new mission.
YOU. Become aromantic
Last week I made this post:
(There was a poll but I couldn’t fit it in the screen shot)
(Also there’s now 3 chapters written)
But I forgot to add tags so nobody saw it and hence it got no votes
So I’m making a new poll this one with tags
Episode 10 season 3:
"Is this game popular with autistic people?"
"Why would you say something like that?"
“Cause I'm starting to love it!"
Episode 7 season 5:
*the entire gotron episode*
Episode 6 season 6:
“You pompous autistic cadaver”
Episode 10 season 6:
“I’m not touching that thing. I’ll get neurotypical cooties. I have son-in-laws more imaginative.”
There’s probably more but these are all examples I can think of
Edit: I found one I forgot
Episodes 9/10 season 5:
Ricks ‘obsession’ with crows is pretty similar to me and my special interest
The president called Rick autistic and the man didn't blink guys can we pls agree that this man is on the spectrum
Being aromantic, autistic person who enjoys books/show/movies/ect is so strange.
Especially when those forms of media have a romantic plot, which is most of them because amatonormativity.
‘Are they flirting or is this normal conversation for this type of relationship?’
‘Does that look me they’re in love or just a normal look?’
‘Is this how people are meant to act around each other or do they have a crush?’
And there’s so many more examples
What if Robins sucked off prediction math was correct and the main ghosts just didn’t notice?
One of the plague ghosts going missing would probably go unnoticed by anyone but the other plague ghosts
