i’m always forgetting that the captain is the only canonically queer character in ghosts. like we’re all supposed to believe that robin has been strictly heterosexual for 10,000 years, that mary and annie were just besties, that julian fawcett mp (disgraced) didn’t exchange cheeky handjobs with the lads at boarding school?? crazy

As a relatively new fan of the show, one of my favourite things about Ghosts is the range of relationships there are. Media nowadays is so obsessed with romantic relationships and forcing romantic tension between characters where it just doesn’t exist. Ghosts doesn’t do that. Yes, there are canon romantic relationships, but they are either a) pre-established, or b) are set up in a way that feels completely natural. But there are so many more friendships and so much platonic love between the ghosts that is honestly very refreshing to see. Each connection has different unique qualities, whether that be between Julian and Robin, or Fanny and the Captain, or Thomas and Pat - just to name a few. You can really believe that they’re good friends, despite them being from different eras and have completely different world views and personalities. Another relationship I absolutely love is the father-daughter relationship between Kitty and the Captain. They make me cry. The Captain is always there to provide comfort and warmth to Kitty when she doubts herself or is upset, and Kitty in turn teaches the Captain many valuable lessons about learning to appreciate the time he has. They’re such a heartwarming duo and I’ll probably never stop talking about how much I love them.

Huge fat shout out to Mary actually. She was a raging lesbian. She banged Robin. She was superstitious as hell. Her husband got crushed by a combine harvester. She was burned at the stake for being the village Loser Girl. She complains her head off, she’s scared of most things. She can barely count and defo can’t read. Bbg to the finest degree !!

in a similar vein to one of my previous posts, it’s truly fascinating how the fanbase wholeheartedly accepts the captain as autistic (and I am absolutely not saying that he isn’t, he quite literally checks every box and it is very possible to accidentally write an autistic character) yet Mary, who stood out a huge amount in her own time, who isn’t what most would consider “fully” verbal, who relied on echoalia a lot, who stimmed in a way that was very typical and natural for AFAB autistics, who was chosen to be burnt as a witch and take the blame for something she didn’t do because she was “strange” and “talked to herself”… is never mentioned in the same vein.
this wouldn’t bother me so much if it weren’t for the fact that katy wix is autistic. Mary’s autistic body language is real autistic body language. I’ve never seen a character who moves like me, who hums and sways like me, who rarely fully knows what’s going on, who needs it to be explained to her when somebody has done something wrong to her- an afab person with moderate support needs autism.
it’s interesting how much focus is on a white cis male character played by a neurotypical being autistic and not on a clearly neurodivergent female character who is often written off as “just weird” when she’s played by an autistic woman. I rarely see people talking about this, certainly nowhere near as much as they talk about the captain’s neurodivergency.
it’s just very interesting and also something that reflects in real life

What the Ghosts have been watching on TV
Everyone
Channel 4 Home renovation shows: They're free with ads and there's an infinite amount of them so Alison puts them on for the whole gang when she and Mike have work to do in same way people put on YouTube videos for their dogs. This has backfired slightly as all the ghosts now have very strong and conflicting opinions on how Button House should be renovated.
The Great British Bake-off: A whole family event, they all get very invested. Kitty thinks Alison Hammond is the funniest person in the world. The Captain feels normal about Noel Fielding. As well as a watching it live, I'm sure they've also watched the whole back catalogue together.
Mama Mia: This where the Captain learnt his ABBA songs from. Pat and Julian enjoy the nostalgic music and I think the others are just bewitched by the story and music
Robin
Anything David Attenborough: For obvious reasons. I think he'd get a kick out of trying to do his voice. The others sometimes join in.
Cunk on Earth/ Britain: I think they've got a similar attitude towards history and I think he'd find serious historians trying to answer silly questions incredibly funny
Horrible Histories: He watches this with Kitty, they both find poop jokes funny.
Humphrey
Antiques Roadshow: I'm not sure why. I honestly think he's just glad to watch anything.
Mary
Gardener's World: I think she misses being able to look after plants and I think she'd be endlessly fascinated by how hosepipes work.
Mio Mao: She loves them fucking plasticine cats. She will not stop singing the theme song
Honestly think she'll watch anything with anyone and would get invested, she seems like the ideal person to watch telly with.
Kitty
Ru Paul's Drag Race: I think they all watch this every so often but Kitty is invested. There's bright colours, fun outfits and drama, it's definitely Alison's go to when she needs Kitty distracted.
90s and 2000s romcoms: I believe that every couple of weeks Alison and Kitty have a "girl's night" where they watch all the romcoms that Alison used to watch with her mum, mostly because I love watching romcoms with my mum and Kitty deserves that. Kitty is particularly fond of Twilight.
Thomas:
Any Jane Austen adaptations: He watches them with Fanny as they were both big fans when they were alive (its the only thing they agree on). Kitty also joins sometimes. His favourite is the 1995 Pride and Prejudice tv show.
Fanny:
Grey's Anatomy: I haven't seen it but my mum's a big fan and there's millions of seasons, I think she'd pretend she's not that into it but she definitely is.
Call the Midwife: Same as above.
The Captain:
M*A*S*H: I've seen about half an episode of this but it seems to be about fit young men in a war so it sounds like his thing. Probably Pat's recommendation.
Our Flag Means Death: I think Alison has been trying to sneakily show Cap gay media under the pretence of saying "it's just a fun show about pirates". I think the whole gang watched it together. The Captain definitely didn't cry at the end of season 1 why would think that?
Pat
Taskmaster: I think this is one they all watch together but it's definitely one of Pat's favourites. He probably attempted to set up his own version of the show with the ghost which ended horribly.
Doctor Who: I think he watched the original run when he was alive and was absolutely ecstatic to find out they made more. Julian makes fun of him for it.
Julian
Have I Got News For You: Has been airing since 1990 so he definitely watched it while he was alive. I think he likes to keep up with current politics but not in a very serious way so this is his middle ground.
Succession: I haven't seen this show but it seems to be about horrible men in suits being horrible to each other which seems right up his alley.
The Thick of It: Speaking of horrible men in suits being horrible. I think he watches this with Robin who has absolutely no idea what's going on but just laughs when Julian does and they have the best time. Julian is constantly pausing to add his own anecdotes
What We Do In The Shadows: Alison put this on as a 'let's show the Captain it's ok to be gay' show and the Captain was immediately horrified so Julian adopted it. He identifies with Lazlo.

The ghosts in a sentence:
Captain: pathetic wet cat tries and fails miserably to suppress homosexual thoughts
Mary: woman who has done no wrong ever falls victim to misogyny
Robin: silly caveman becomes the resident therapist while simultaneously having ungodly levels of unresolved trauma
Thomas: failed poet is a bit of a loser and falls hopelessly in love with and obsesses over every woman he sets eyes on
Fanny: stuck up middle aged woman actually has twenty two AO3 tabs open on her phone and is a mathematical genius
Kitty: tragic little ray of sunshine who will adopt you as her best friend without your permission and will insist that you are bonded forever
Julian: yet another conservative struggles with the concept of guilt and takes ages to admit responsibility for the consequences of his actions
Humphrey: local loner forced to marry badass Frenchwoman and spends eternity wondering if swords were a good choice of furnishing
Pat: adorable little guy who’s wife cheated on him because he is autistic

Thinking about Mary from Ghosts again. "Death may have taken many things from me but it gave me a voice" "She was the changing of me" I mean. Oh my god.
