Julian somehow learns abt “that’s what she said” jokes and it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to button house. Literally every other sentence that comes out of his mouth is “that what she said” and he starts purposely saying seemingly innocent things that really are more lewd just to make the joke. Alison gets so many complaints from the other ghosts, she has to ban the whole house from using that phrase within 24 hours

I can't believe the captain and havers knew each other for two months in 1940, and then didn't see each other again for 5 years. and all of that admiration and affection had turned to desperation and before they could share more than a breath, the captain was dead. and then he kept all that emotion and all that love pressed into a tight dense little packet stuck behind his ribcage for nearly 80 years. where is havers when you need him. where indeed. this wretched war. are you listening.

"In the bleak midwinter

Frosty wind made moan

Earth stood hard as iron

Water like a stone

Snow had fallen

Snow on snow on snow

In the bleak midwinter

Long, long ago"

I really wanted to post a Christmas illustration so here's my favourite scene from the entirety of BBC Ghosts in honour of its last ever episode today!

It makes me cry so much every time I watch it and it sums up Christmas so perfectly ❤️

Oh my god okay so the was I see it, the captain using his title as a name is like a facade he puts up. He wants to be seen for his efforts in the war rather than the sensitive person he really is. He puts up a front of being a war hero because that’s what’s expected of him. “The Captain” isn’t really him, it’s hard for him to be his true self and open up etc etc. We all understand that, right? Good.

Throughout the redding weddy flashback we only ever see havers refer to cap as “sir” (a sign of respect, might I add) not once does he call him “captain” (“communique for you sir, I’m afraid I’m leaving you sir” you get the idea)

In carpe diem, even AFTER havers gets promoted to major (a rank above the captain) he still addresses him as “sir” this is likely and instinctual act, but I also like to see it as him dignifying the captain in front of everyone who is looking down on him. Then, as the captain is dying, he calls him by his name.

Not only does this mean that they were close enough to give each other their first names, but NOT ONCE does havers call him captain. Since the first time he’s on screen, havers looked through the facade and he found what was underneath. He sees the man behind the rank, and he loves him
