I took a bit of an unexpected break from rp for a week or so ?? and tbh it has done my brain a lot of good to not worry about being active and stressed about replies.

I'll be coming back soon! most likely on a more chill / mid-low activity basis. gonna do a wee bit of a revamp here, possibly gonna move @thecptn to his own blog, and gonna try and show @saunteringserpent some love. because I've kinda neglected crowley recently.

the captain and julian scheming together during happy death day makes me giggle so much.

Training from hell

❝ — oh— oh, good lord. you can see me, can't you ?? ❞ the captain fumbled, eyes wide and locked onto the stranger's. a newcomer? a new ghost ?? no, it couldn't be ... no one else had set foot on the estate in 𝚢𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚜, let alone died here. swagger stick in hand, pointing accusingly at the other — as if it could do any real damage — the captain stood straight, pushing all the authority he could muster into his voice.

❝ how ?? who are you ?? I demand to know what the bally hell is going on, young man !! ❞

@cardiffsfinest — starter call [ owen ] / living dead meet ... dead dead ??

[thecptn-arch]

some things I want to do...

the captain's initial reaction to dying. I want his first meetings with the other ghosts. I want his first attempts to leave the grounds — he's probably trying to follow after havers. and oh, god I want to explore the feelings he has around that. being reunited after the war, only to have it ripped away from him in death, and all the things he couldn't have said to the man he loves. and having to let that all go. </3 </3

similar but different — more weddings. I loved how excited he was about it all, how eagerly he tried to help alison in redding weddy. I want to expore his reaction to more queer couples. to see two grooms, two men celebrating and expressing their love for each other in a way that he could have never had. it would be both soul crushing, but also ?? there would be a strange melancoly, a comfort in knowing that while james couldn't have that, there are so many other's who now can.

some of his old files, or old personal effects being found / dug up around the house.

he watches so many war documentaries, so... it seems plausible that lieutenant havers might crop up in one? and it's been so long since the captain has seen him, but oh dear god has he missed him. and he makes alison pause it, rewind it, just so he can see havers' face again.

thinking of setting out my verses kinda like ...

childhood ww1 ww2 death death v2 (au where he's not tied to button house, but actually tied to some personal item or smth - meaning there's more scope for crossovers and stuff without having to shoe-horn other characters into coming to the house) modern au.

starter call. you know what to do, give this post a little like for a short starter ( probably just one line of dialogue while I get used to his voice )

Types of Captain Noise

Normal fillers: Um, Hmm, Ah, Er- every person makes these to some extent. Extended keysmash: More captain-exclusive. Like the above but 5 times longer. Examples: "Why is it always about war with you?" "Rha-huhyneeheye" or "If it makes her feel fabulous, then hmhnmehehnh". Onomatopoeia: Actually mimicking sounds. The classic "pom pom", ton-ton-ton-ton, firing a pistol/machine gun into the air, mimicking an orchestra. Someone is arguing with me so I will Repetitive Noise at them until they are overwhelmed: Rubbadubba rubbadubba, dib dab, now then then now

the next few weeks are, literally, the busiest time of year at work. so I'm going to be quite scarce on dash until that's done with.

“ I will cut you .”

𝐏𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐋𝐔𝐄 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐋𝐘, blinking in surpise at the sudden hostility from the stranger. ❝ oh, good lord ... ! ❞ he murmured in response. after over 70+ years, the captain was fairly certain he knew how it all worked ... being a 𝚐𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝, that is. it didn't seem possible that he could be harmed in any way. and yet ... he made sure to keep her at a wary arms distance. just in case — to err on the side of caution was never a foolish thing to do.

❝ a simple ' hello ' would have sufficed ... ❞
