Ghost with floatie Here’s a more detailed and playful version of your ghost with a floatie—perfect for a fun, spooky-but-cute illustration or character design!
Concept:
- Imagine a cute, cartoonish ghost—semi-transparent, wavy, and glowing slightly—happily floating in a pool or at the beach. It’s wearing a bright inflatable floatie (maybe a duck, unicorn, or classic ring-shaped) around its “waist” or lower half.
Why It’s Funny/Adorable:
- Ghosts usually “float” anyway, so the floatie is extra and unnecessary.
- The contrast between spooky and silly makes it charming.
- Maybe it’s on vacation, trying to fit in with humans at the pool.
Possible Variations:
- Beach Ghost: Sunglasses, floatie, holding a tiny ghostly drink.
- Scared Ghost: Clutching the floatie nervously, as if it’s afraid of water (even though it can’t drown).
- Pool Party Ghost: Surrounded by other ghosts in floaties, having a spectral pool party.
The Ghost’s Backstory
- Name: Blooey (a pun on “boo” + “floatie”)
- Origin: A friendly ghost who died in a pool accident (but don’t worry, they’re over it now and just wants to have fun).
Personality: - Overly cautious—wears a floatie even though they can’t drown.
- Thinksthey’rehuman—tries to sunbathe (but is translucent), eats invisible ice cream, and “swims” by just bobbing in place.
2. The Floatie Dilemma
- Since ghosts can phase through objects, Blooey keeps accidentally sinking when they forget and phase through their floatie. Their biggest fear? Pool drains. (They’re not sure why, but it feels spooky.)
Funny Scenarios:
- “Help! I’m deflating!” – Panics when their floatie loses air, not realizing they don’t need it.
- “Why can’t I cannonball?!” – Tries to jump in but just floats gently every time.
- “Lifeguard Problems” – Sits in the lifeguard chair, blowing an incorporeal whistle at humans who run.
3. Ghostly Pool Party
- Blooey invites other spirits for a Spectral Swim Day:
- The Floatie Collection: Each ghost has a different one (donut, swan, pizza slice).
Games:
- Marco Polo (but they all say “Boo” instead of “Polo”).
- Synchronized Floating (a wavy, slow-mo routine).
- Snacks: Ecto-pops (ghostly popsicles that melt into mist).
4. Merch & Memes
- Pool Sign: “No Running. No Diving. No Exorcisms.”
- T-Shirt Design: Blooey in sunglasses, floatie, and the text “FLOAT WITH THE MOST”.
- Viral TikTok Trend: #GhostFloatieChallenge – People pretend to float like ghosts in pools.
5. Short Comic Strip Idea
- Panel 1: Blooey struggling to blow up their floatie (but their breath is cold and weak).
- Panel 2: A human kid helps inflate it, then walks away.
- Panel 3: Blooey happily floats—then phases through it and sinks comically.
- Panel 4: The kid returns, sees the floatie empty, and slowly backs away.
Blooey’s Extended Friend Group
Every ghost needs a squad:
- Glub Glub: A drowned pirate ghost who wears multiple floaties (paranoia) and carries a tiny inflatable treasure chest.
- Sunkissed Spooky: A sunburned ghost (somehow) who insists on wearing sunscreen (it drips through them).
- Bubblebert: A ghost made entirely of bath bubbles—technically not dead, just forgotten bath-time joy.
- Dynamic: They all meet at the “Haunted Hot Tub” (a jacuzzi that mysteriously turns on at night).
7. Blooey’s Misadventures
Episode Ideas:
- “The Great Floatie Heist” – Someone steals Blooey’s favorite duck floatie. Plot twist: It was the wind.
- “Deep End Dilemma” – Blooey accidentally drifts into the 12ft section and has an existential crisis (“Am I… too buoyant?!”).
- “Human Friend Attempt #37” – Tries to impress kids by making the pool extra cold, but they just yell “GHOST!” and Blooey cries ecto-tears.
8. The Dark Lore of Blooey’s Pool
- The water is always weirdly cold, no matter how hot it is outside.
- At midnight, the pool lights flicker to spooky colors, and the ladder disappears (but only if you blink).
- Urban Legend: If you leave a floatie out overnight, Blooey will try it on and leave a wet, ghostly butt-print.
9. Blooey’s Signature Accessories
- Goggles filled with fog (for “swimming”).
- A tiny, waterlogged phone they “text” with (just moisture trails on the screen).
- A snorkel that just dangles uselessly (no lungs).
10. Spin-Off Concepts
- “Blooey’s Boo-Yancy Class” – Teaches ghosts how to pretend to swim.
- “Float or Boat” – A game show where ghosts guess if an object will float. (Spoiler: They all float.)
- “Pool Exorcism” – A dad tries to “clean” the pool of ghosts with chlorine, but Blooey just turns the water purple.
11. Merch Expansion
“Blooey’s Pool Rules” Poster:
- No running.
- No diving.
- No ghost-hunting (we’re trying to relax).

12. Blooey’s Theme Song Lyrics (to the tune of “Ghostbusters”)
- “Who you gonna float with?
- Who you gonna splash?
- If your pool’s lookin’ eerie
- Maybe Blooey’s just passin’ through!”
13. Cross-Over Potential
- VS. The Invisible Man: They fight over who gets the last pool chair.
- In “Animal Crossing”: Blooey as a villager who floats instead of walks.
- Halloween Special: Blooey gets mistaken for a spooky decoration and sold at a Spirit Halloween store.
14. The Tragic Twist
- Blooey’s greatest wish? To ride a water slide. But every time they try, they just… drift through it. Cue sad trombone.
Blooey’s Arch-Nemesis: The Chlorinator
- A robotic pool cleaner that thinks it’s a ghost hunter.
- Design: A Roomba with googly eyes and a tiny net labeled “GHOST CATCHER 3000.”
- Motivation: Believes Blooey is a “pool impurity” that must be eliminated.
- Weakness: Gets tangled in floaties and screams (beep screams) when it sees algae.
- Story Arc: The Chlorinator upgrades itself with holy water attachments, leading to an epic showdown where Blooey tricks it into vacuuming up a glow stick (which it mistakes for a “ghost core”).
16. Blooey’s Secret Origin: The Forgotten Pool Toy
- In a heartbreaking twist, Blooey wasn’t always a ghost—they were a sentimental pool float left behind by a child who moved away. Abandoned and sun-bleached, they gained sentience one foggy night when the moon hit the water just right.
Evidence:
- Their “ectoplasm” smells faintly of plastic and sunscreen.
- They hum the jingle of a 90s pool commercial no one remembers.
- If you listen closely, their whispers sound like air slowly leaking.
17. The Great Human Friend Conspiracy
- Blooey discovers humans pretend not to see them because of a viral TikTok trend (#GhostHostChallenge). Devastated, they start “haunting” aggressively:
- Leaving wet footprints leading to the snack bar.
- Writing “HELLO :)” in fog on the bathroom mirrors.
- Floating upside down directly in front of sunbathers.
- Climax: A little girl finally acknowledges Blooey… by tossing them a new duck floatie. Cue waterworks (literal and emotional).
