Tell me why i am STILL thinking about how funny Xavier is in season three. Lowkey that season made his character so much more enjoyable to watch during my rewatches. Like apparently he is, and has always been, that goofy. I guess i was just too distracted by his freak tendencies and general asshole demeanor in the earlier seasons to notice 😭😭

I know I talk sooo much abt Simon and Maddie’s friendship but I think there is an undervalued tenderness to Xavier and Maddi’s friendship. I should wax poetic on this

The scars in School Spirits are recollections of the trauma associated with an individuals life and death. Wally’s scar is the disappointment of “failing” those who believed in him, Charley’s scar is the pain of humiliation and self-flanderixation, Rhonda’s is the fear of violation and broken trust. Maddie possesses a scar too. Her scar is the pain of her father’s death, and the weight of her mother’s alcoholism. Yet, Maddie did not die. She was within but not of the ghost world. This means that any individual who enters the ghosts world (living or dead) receives a scar. Where is Simon’s scar, and what is inside it? Does it have to do with his birth mother’s death? His self-sacrificing behaviour? His adoptive parents? His love for and emotional dependence on Maddie? What about Xavier’s scar?

When Xavier dies, I hope he meets dawn, so they can both stare into each other's eyes and create a new reality. Then, all of this will make sense.
