If I had a nickle for every time I had an in the closet gay captain as my favorite character from a tv show named James, I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice.
Not up to much… just bbc ghosts and Yonderland (six idiots) and work :,)
The start of the Muppets adaptation of Ghosts
alison and mike get on very well because they're great at communicating and they genuinely like each other and the only major difference between them is that most of mike's ideas are stupid whereas most of alison's are illegal

The Captain really is too gay to function(literally)
a bbc ghosts community au is all I’ve been able to think about recently
Robin was probably the first ghost at button house ever. There probably wasn’t anyone there before him that’s been sucked off. When every other ghost died they had someone to explain things to them, to comfort them. Robin didn’t get that, it probably took a while for him to figure out what was going on. All he knew was that he got struck by lightning and now no one can see him and he can walk through stuff. He might not have had any concept of what a ghost was. He was alone and confused for centuries.
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.
I’m sure it’s been said before, but I really don’t think that coming out is what the Captain needs to do to move on. While his sexuality is a very important part of his character, it’s not what’s keeping him there. His issue is that he can’t let go of the war. Multiple characters have told him that he needs to let go of it, that it’s over, yet he still cannot accept that. So I believe that in order for him to move on or, rather, “get sucked off,” he has to finally accept that the war is over.
we just kinda make shit up
This is a genuine question because of the amount of Capvers content: Where are y’all getting the fuel from? He appeared for like five minutes, he spoke like two lines, where’d you get the personality from?
One of my biggest questions about ghosts is the rules around their memories, cause the ghosts seem to remember thing that they probably shouldn’t, like Humphrey remembers what shoes Thomas’s cousin wear and that he was writing 2 letters and Robin remembers a lot of details about his death day even though it happened thousands of years ago. Robins memories could be explained by the fact that it was the day he died and that’s a significant thing but for Humphrey Thomas’s death was just another day, he probably didn’t even find out Thomas was a ghost for a day or 2. So did the ghosts get unnatural memories after death? And if so then Robin remembers almost everything he’s witnessed in his thousands of year of existence, having that many memories must be exhausting but that opposite is even worse, slowly forgetting everything about your life but still just being their gaining new memories as the old ones fade away
