What if Kitty is mixed race?

Potentially. I don't think Lolly is mixed race, but that doesn't mean the character can't be.

Headcanons for Thomas’ parents?

I think Thomas's parents tried to be supportive of Thomas and his poetry but they realised that it wasn't that good and that he wouldn't be able to make a career out of it and tried to guide him onto the path of an average lord by taking him to fancy parties and encouraging him to learn other skills. They'd probably get upset that Thomas could never seem to focus on one woman and never passed on the family name (to our knowledge at least). I think that they were generally good parents though, who wanted the best for their son but never quite understood what he wanted/needed from them.

Imagine Spidey watching Ghosts though! He'd totally love it! He'd also show it to Steve and Bucky like "there's this captain and he's from your time... He's totally cool! A bit like Mr Stark even! Well, sort of... He doesn't know how to do emotions which... yeah... neither does Mr Stark but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't tell him that! Anyway you'll like it, c'mon!" and then he drags them to his laptop and they all watch it together until Tony gets home to collect his Spider-son.

Yes, that would be awesome! Imagine them all watching Ghosts in SHIELD HQ, or Peter watching it at school with his classmates! I imagine his favourite character would be Mike, just a normal, relatable guy in a weird situation who tries to make the best of it and be nice all the time, because that's a lot like what Peter has gone through in his life.

If Alison went to Hastings I wonder how she would react to seeing the ghost of Norman and Anglo-Saxon soldiers who took part in the Battle of Hastings? It would be funny if anglo-Saxon and Norman soldiers are seen chilling out with each other.

I feel like that would be cool. After all those years they've finally learned to get along and live with each other. Maybe Alison would find out the exact story of what happened at Hastings, and see how that compares to what is already known.

What is Humphrey’s favourite Tudor sketch from horrible histories?

I think any ones that make fun of Henry VIII, like the one where he is afraid of being assassinated. I also think he would like the historical MasterChef Tudor segment, as it would remind him of all the food he had when he was alive.

Heacanons for living Humphrey, drunk dancing?

I imagine sober Humphrey was partial to a dance every now and again, but drunk Humphrey could not refuse and would not stop. If someone wanted to dance with him, he may fling them around a little too aggressively, as he's feeling hyper from all the alcohol he had consumed. People probably moved out of his way when he danced, as he'd wave his arms and legs around and not really focus on where he was going. I also imagine that he would dance too fast for the music, crashing into people.

Headcanons for living Humphrey, Kitty and Thomas in a carriage?

Humphrey would be very annoying. I imagine if there were other people in the carriage with him, he'd spend the whole journey making passive aggressive comments and telling jokes.

Kitty would also be annoying, but just because she would find it very exciting. Even if she was a regular carriage user, I feel like she'd still feel a sense of childlike wonder every time she got in. Also, I imagine she'd be the sort to say "are we nearly there yet?" Every five minutes.

Thomas would stare out the window and sigh, as he is such an exit in doing. Maybe he would try and write a poem about his surroundings, but he might get annoyed if the journey was too bumpy as he tried to write.

[thisismysighingplace]

What do you think is Thomas’ favourite alcoholic drink?

Not really an alcohol expert I'm afraid, but I'm imagining something classy like champagne, or something that has a bit of flavour other than alcohol. I can't imagine he'd be the sort to drink something like beer, for example, which would probably be one of the drinks of choice for people of the lower classes, who Thomas probably wouldn't have been expected to associate with in his life.

mat baynton was once in an adaptation of vanity fair. Imagine if Thomas saw that version of vanity fair with mat.

I always like to think about the ghosts seeing TV shows with their actors in. I don't really know anything about vanity fair, but from my knowledge of it, it seems like the sort of thing Thomas would very much enjoy.

I wonder what would mary would think of the girl with the pearl earring painting?

I think she would love that painting. We've seen before that she loves pretty things, like the wigs in episode 4, so to see a painting of a glamorous woman would probably be very exciting to Mary, who wouldn't have fancy things like pearls when she was alive probably, due to her wealth.

What if Thomas knew jane Austen in life? how would Alison and the other ghosts would react to that fact? Also imagine a very young Charles Dickens meeting Thomas.

I think the ghosts and Alison would find that so cool! Maybe Jane Austen went to Button House at some point! Thomas probably flirted with her at some point, of course.

Maybe Thomas thought that he inspired Dickens to start writing. In reality, this probably wasn't the case, but it makes him happy to think about.
