Can you draw the captain in 1940s men’s daywear?
Hello anon here he is but I fear I gave the captain too much dad energy when making this.
getting SO SAD over how the dynamic we were introduced to with kitty was fanny being annoyed at her very existence and essentially calling her a goodfornothing dimwit and how the dynamic the end of s3 focused on with her was the captain trying to get her to smile and telling her stories and treating her suspicions as valuable. bc the captain and fanny used to be one and the same and . man. theyve both grown so much and idk if it means anything but it means something to me
the captain is a band kid and we absolutely do not discuss this enough. the captain is a band kid and NONE OF US realised
YEAHHHHH NEW HYPERFIXATION

"My second in command" "My CO"
rewatched ghosts, behold the consequences🍂
I have just thought that the reason that Reddind Weddy and the Thomas Affair come one after another was not only to break our hearts but to demonstrate that the ghosts’s flashbacks can be wrong. Saying this I intend to say that maybe the captain’s flashback didn’t actually happen that way and in later episodes we will see what truly happened .
The Captain (BBC Ghosts) + queer culture & history references
Brighton is the queer capital of the UK. During the 1920s and 1930s, Brighton started to flourish as a seafront escape for LGBTQ+ and many gay and lesbian pubs started to establish themselves. During the Second World War, the city was filled with soldiers. Many women and men in the forces were meeting other lesbians and gay people for the first time in their lives. Kylie Minogue has maintained her status as a gay icon for decades. The pop queen has been a long-standing and committed advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. The singer says feels ‘solidarity’ with her gay fans after they ‘protected’ her during tough times. Elton John came out as gay in 1992. He’s a huge advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and is undoubtedly one of the most famous openly gay musicians of all time. Elton John and his husband were among the very first couples to have a civil partnership in the United Kingdom. Musical theatre has been associated with the LGBTQ+ community, especially gay men, for years. There’s also a common stereotype of gay men loving opera, which has a good bit of truth, historically. Difference was tolerated in the theatre, and men who liked other men knew it was easier to meet one another if they hung out with theatre people. Cole Porter’s homosexuality was an open secret. He was married for convenience, and his wife knew he was gay from the start and didn’t mind it. His lyrics were full of not very hidden double entendres. ‘The Wizard of Oz’ became an enduring part of LGBTQ+ community and culture, and actress Judy Garland is considered a gay icon. The expression ‘Friend of Dorothy’ became a code phrase used by gay men to identify themselves to each other. Chandler from ‘Friends’ was often believed to be gay, both by characters on the show and by people in real life. Originally, the writers did want to make him a gay character but straightened him out instead when they were told to ‘write it gay and play it straight.’ ABBA is one of the most beloved bands for the queer community, and Dancing Queen remains one of the most ubiquitous gay anthems of our time. When ABBA returned with a new album, the band said, ‘It was the gay community who underpinned the comeback.’
Thick of It/Ghosts crossover where Adam's evil homophobic grandfather dies and he and Fergus are going through his stuff and finds pics of the Captain but he's never heard of this man before even though they're clearly related so he does a bit of digging and decides to visit the Button House guesthouse and make Alison scream.
And then they go digging through the House because they're both pricks and don't have boundaries, and find Mike's ghost board and are like what, and meanwhile the ghosts are going nuts assuming Cap has some secret great grandchild even though Cap insists that is Literally Impossible for Unspecified Reasons.
And also at one point they realise it's the house Julian died in and Fergus is a bit creeped out about dead doppelgangers and dead politicians and weird shit that keeps happening around them while Adam thinks he's an idiot and they do the classic asshole couple in a haunted house thing.
And eventually it turns out that Adam is Cap's great nephew, and his brother never spoke of him after his death, and one of the reasons his evil grandad was so evil to him was because he's the spit of him and also attracted to men (which are the only two things they have in common lol) and his grandfather hated the fact that Cap's legacy had lived on despite everything they'd done to try and erase him from their family history.
