Amity Park’s kids having the most disturbingly dulled sense of danger tho
like someone climbs onto the school roof to get a football and the teacher’s freak out and they’re like, bruh chill I’ve climbed shit taller than this to get out of range from a ghost fight, someone burns their hand on a bunsen burner in science class and the teacher is freaking out and rushing them to the sink to run it under water and the student’s just like, tbh it’s not that bad I got skimmed by an ectoblast once that was way worse
kids standing there filming ghost fights and laughing when they almost get hit by a fucKING CAR, little kids never fearing the monster under their bed or in their closet because all the monsters are more likely to be found on the streets
the number of reckless teenagers becoming adrenalin junkies skyrockets, daily life has become so full of casual danger that they start to miss it when the ghosts take a day off, teenagers unknowingly getting addicted to the thrill the ghost fights bring to their lives
a store gets held up at gunpoint and the young jaded employee is just like, I literally ran a gigantic ghost wolf out of here with a broom last week I really don’t give a shit, horror movie and video game jump scares don’t do shit for these kids, girls walk around town in the middle of the night hardly fearing their safety because if they can successfully run away from a huge ghost tiger they can run away from some back alley creep
kids barely glance either way when crossing the roads because they’re so used to noticing things from the corner of their eyes, games of ‘truth or dare’ become games of ‘dare or gtfo’
just kids who’ve grown up in this town knowing all the nurses at Amity hospital by name because if they’re not in there from a ghost fight it’s because they tried to ride their skateboard off a roof into a pool because ‘a ghost dropped me from three storeys high into a lake once and it was awesome’
amity kids leaving town and freaking people out
kids playing truth or dare with some cousins like, what do you mean ‘lick the metal pole’, don’t you want me to jump off your roof or something? the snow drifts look plenty deep to me
upperclassmen at local collages make a game out of spotting the amity kids. it’s not hard, they’re the ones unconcerned by the sound of screaming, up on the roofs, and saturating the campus with their adrenaline-filled laughter
but other colleges don’t know what hit them. every one freaks out when some tiny freshman just climbs out one classroom’s window and into another’s because the door was locked. but this kid’s like, naw I’m fine, the window sills here are like twice as wide as my high school’s were
or moving to a different town and being all, I really didn’t mean to crash into your rose bushes, I just want to see if I could ride my bike blindfolded, and their poor neighbor just faints. or, I’m sorry sir, I didn’t know skateboarding from roof to roof was illegal here, I just wanted to avoid the traffic, is biking across roofs okay? no? aw…
Amity kids jumping off the roof and out of windows to avoid the stairs and the extra walking. Or joining track or something because if they can escape ghost animals and hunters they can jump over a bar while tuning full sprint.
oh shit, Amity Park turning out all these crazy athletic adrenalin fuelled nutcases, competing with other schools is a riot because in any form of contact sport these kids are TERRIFYING they go hard on each other all the time they don’t know how to go soft on these suburban out of town kids and there are usually pretty brutal injuries, Amity loses every game due to penalties alone
they get top places in marathons and become infamous in any competition because of how god damn tough they are, and they have such a ‘win or die’ attitude that any time they lose they lay on the ground for like ten seconds and seem kinda surprised that they’re actually NOT dead, they just have it so ingrained in them that failure means getting attacked and so using that mindset to win races results in a kind of weird distortion of reality for some kids when they actually finish and remember that this time there’s no actual threat
sometimes even if they win they just keep on running, they’ll keep going until they collapse if someone doesn’t stop them
and they brush off serious injuries like they’re fucking paper cuts, one kid’ll have her ankle sticking out at the most sickening angle and her first thought is ‘well you can’t see the bone so that’s a good sign’, another kid will have actually dislocated his knee during a run and just keeps hobbling along shoving away the paramedics desperately trying to get him to stop because ‘oh my god legs don’t bEND THAT WAY’
