#perfect day

[natjennie]

the fact that the captain watched two women get married in the same fucking room he died in because he dared to harbor affection for another man. like. the fact that all the contact they got was the shared warmth of their hands and a first name. and now here, almost 80 years later, two women are kissing and dancing and loving and getting married. and living. are you listening..

[rat-at-heart]

His perfect day: wake up and peck the ground at the park, eat some loose fries by the hotdog stand, hang out with the boys on the telephone wire, and end the day looking out at the city skyline from the highest statue he can fly to.

In retrospective I feel as though "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed wasn't appreciated enough. I mean, yeah, we had the iconic scene with "The Chain" in the previous episode, but tell me how people saw this imagery

And these lyrics

And didn't completely loose their minds

#our flag means death #perfect day #lou reed #edward teach #ofmd

[natjennie]

the tiny look of wonderment and hope when alison says "that's the other bride" and then the wariness and confusion, it's too good to be true, that can't be right. can it? and then she says "they're marrying each other" and you can almost see the breath of relief as his face lights up. you can literally sense the decades of fear and shame sliding off of him for a moment. he's safe and happy and it's such a beautiful achievement. progress. in the room where he died, heart giving out after keeping his deviant affection inside for so long. and now here they are, two beautiful young women, marrying each other, happy and together and alive. perfect day is the only episode of television that matters actually.

[narniangirl1994]

Is anyone gonna talk about how "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed is the perfect Good Omens/Ineffable Husbands song?

Seriously - the lyrics describe exactly how Aziraphale and Crowley feel about themselves and each other. The song not only depicts the exact kind of day they would spend together, but also mirrors their love of Earth and how important it is to them to be able to experience it together.

The last verse and somewhat melancholy tone even hint at the singer potentially screwing up and losing the very relationship that means so much to him (like some immortal beings we know).

Lyrics under the cut for anyone who's curious...

"Just a perfect day

Drink Sangria in the park

And then later, when it gets dark

We go home

Just a perfect day

Feed animals in the zoo

Then later, a movie too

And then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day

I'm glad I spent it with you

Oh, such a perfect day

You just keep me hanging on

You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day

Problems all left alone

Weekenders on our own

It's such fun

Just a perfect day

You made me forget myself

I thought I was someone else

Someone good, yeah

Oh, it's such a perfect day

I'm glad I spent it with you

Oh, it's such a perfect day

You just keep me hanging on

You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow

(Reap, reap, reap what you sow)

You're going to reap just what you sow

(Reap, reap, reap what you sow)

You're going to reap just what you sow, yeah

(Reap, reap, reap what you sow)

You're going to reap just what you sow

(Reap, reap, reap what you sow)

Oh, what a perfect day."

crying real tears over Cap realising it's a lesbian wedding during Perfect Day,,

his face when Fanny goes "Isn't that against the law??" i just want to give him a hug :')

#it's overanalysing microexpressions hours #bbc ghosts #the captain #Perfect Day

[thirteens-pocket-watch]

There is something to be said about the Captain's internalised homophobia. It probably already has but I want to.

In Redding Weddy, we obviously see him burying the letter and rigging it to explode but that's all in the past. I want to focus on the present. When Fanny tells him about her attraction to someone, he tells her to "bury that emotion deep down and never let it show" and that "nothing good will come of it." This is obviously reflective of how he still views his own homosexuality as a source of shame.

However, in Perfect Day, he is fully accepting of Claire and Sam getting married. He actively helps set up the wedding and is proud of all involved when it goes successfully. This indicates that while he remains ashamed of his sexuality, this homophobia is exclusively internal and doesn't extend to others.

I may be going too in depth but to me, this shows that the Captain is quicker to judge himself than others. What is a moral failing for him is forgivable for another person.

If you want to go another step further, this can also be tied into the fact that the Captain is very autistic coded. Growing up nuerodivergent is an isolating and confusing experience, largely due to the fact that everything you do is percieved as wrong. You can say and do the exact same things as other people and yet still be told you're doing it wrong. Your tone of voice was rude, your body language makes you look uninterested, you're being wilfully ignorant but all the while, you don't know what you're doing wrong. I think this is where this trait comes from.

So in conclusion, the Captain is an autistic gay man with internalised homophobia and his experience growing up as an autistic person shaped his tendency to judge himself for things he forgives others for.
