Rotating Them Around In My Head

how am i supposed to go to work when im literally thinking about The Character

Caphavers:)

One day Alison and Mike receive a letter. It’s from a woman asking very politely if she could bring her father to see Button House; he was stationed there for a time during WWII and is now very elderly - his fondest wish is to see the house one last time before he dies. The letter is signed by the woman, her surname is Havers.

Alison (forgetting that the Captain mentioned that name in ‘Redding Weddy’) asks Cap if he knew or remembers anyone called Havers from his time in Button House. Very quietly he tells her that yes, he knew a Havers, why? She explains the situation, that he wants to come and look at the house before he dies. When the Captain doesn’t answer, Alison asks if everything is okay. His only response is a very quiet, “Yes. I should like to see him again.”

So Alison replies to the woman, agrees that she and her father can come to the house. To make the journey a little easier on the old man, they agree that they can spend the night so he’s not doing to much exerting travelling in one day.

When they arrive, the Captain is at the door with Alison to greet them although they can’t see him. It’s his Havers for sure. He has aged, obviously, well into his nineties by now, but it’s definitely him. Cap could never forget that smile. He watches Havers as he, his daughter, Alison and Mike slowly make their way around the house. He remembers walking these same hallways with Havers, an unspoken truth between them beating like a heart. It’s bittersweet, seeing him again after so long, but he’s glad he got this final chance.

He talks to Havers as they all go around the house. Pointing at things and down hallways, asking him “Remember when we...” followed by a question Havers won’t answer. Alison can hear it but she’s kind enough not to say anything. She knows this is between Cap and Havers.

The Captain goes into Havers’ room that night, just to get a look at him alone. Say the things he didn’t want to say in front of Alison, even though Havers is asleep and wouldn’t hear him anyway.

But then something happens - Havers begins to glow and too late Cap realises that he’s dying. He calls for Alison, but she’s fast asleep elsewhere in the house and wouldn’t come. Havers’ spirit is there and he can see Cap now.

“Captain,” he says, “is that really you?”

“Yes,” Cap replies weakly. “I... I have missed you Havers.”

“I have missed you too. Am I... dead?”

Cap sniffs. “Yes. Yes, I’m afraid so.”

“Oh.” He sounds underwhelmed, like he expected more from death. “Well. I am glad I got this chance to see you again before I go. I missed you every day after I left. I came to your funeral, sir.”

“I saw,” Cap replies, “I was there.”

At that, Havers’ spirit laughs and Cap suddenly doesn’t care. He knows times have changed now, he knows that he would be accepted by now if he’d lived long enough. In another life he and Havers could have worked, they could have been happy.

So he gives in and says, “I loved you, Havers.”

Havers gives a weak smile, returns, “I loved you too.”

And then he moves on, and he leaves Cap for the second time.

Imagine being 22 and there was an evil wizard confirming YES your best friend is secretly trying to get with your girl, all your coworkers secretly hate you and are plotting against you, and all of your loved ones are going to die in vague horrible ways at an unspecified time. Now imagine Jar Jar Binks trying to get a pack of gum he got stuck in a vending machine.

Yes, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, a bbc ghosts/ghost files cross over is something we need. Shane would do his thing of telling the ghosts to attack him and Julian would actually do it

I know we had a ghost hunters episode of BBC Ghosts but I would deeply love to see a cross over with Ghost Files. I think Shane would have the best time in that house and Ryan...well would be Ryan but with Kitty and Robin following him around.

Cody: Ugh.

Obi-Wan: What???

Cody: I swear to god, if you ask Boga if she ‘wants to go walkies’ in that high pitched tone that gets her all excited, one more time-

Obi-Wan: Sometimes we have to get them excited for the walkies!

Cody: She’s a twenty-six foot lizard! She spun in a circle and threw me into a wall! She’s gonna step on the wrong Jedi master one day and kill them!

Obi-Wan: Oh you’re being dramatic.

Cody: What if she steps on Master Yaddle and initiate Grogu one day, huh??? Are they gonna survive her big paws??

Obi-Wan: I notice how you left Grandmaster out of that scenario.

Cody: He made me drink swamp water last week and told me it was tea! I won’t cry at his funeral and now I’m determined to outlive him!

Obi-Wan: Babe. It’s traditional for the lineage. Normally he gets us with it when we’re still tiny, but it provides very important bacteria for gut health. I used to be intolerant to most Mandalorian seed spices before he gave it to me.

Cody: …so he wasn’t just torturing his new bu’ad-in-law?

Obi-Wan: Two things can be possible.

Captain from Ghosts and his damn idle pose

He’s avoiding the question/lh

Why are you gay

The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.

The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)

The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.

Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.

Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.

The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.

The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.

The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.

cherik is so wicked coded

like of course this gay person who has always been different and has had a harsher life than most meets this other gay person who has always had it good™ and they quickly overcome their differences and become lovers friends

but the second an important politic stance needs to be made in order to protect the oppressed the person who has always had it good™ hesitates to stand with their lover friend and ultimately attempts reconciliation with the norm and hegemony parting with their lover friend but not successfully suppressing their conflicted feelings about them

who am i talking about
