this post is going to stay up forever, but I'm going to reblog this post with a picture of a funny cat I drew wearing big boots. the reblog that has the cat in it will only be available for 5 minutes so good luck if you manage to see or find that version.

I'll add the cat to this post about a minute after posting this. I need to add an image description so it'll take a sec

controversial take but being a longtime ghosts fan over the past few months has just been watching the captain become increasingly more prevalent in tags and fan content to the point where almost no other character’s stories or personalities are explored and usually if they are, it’s in relation to the captain.

I’m gay, a lesbian, and the amount of fanbases I’ve seen fall to mostly straight women and become a whirlpool of one white, conventionally attractive gay man played by a straight man has been so disappointing. the captain is not the only character in ghosts. he is not the deepest or most tragic character in ghosts. it is a found family themed show. we, gay people, do not exist as tragic entertainment to be fetishised. the women in this show are rarely mentioned in comparison to the captain, Kitty had multiple scenes about her abusive sister, is implied to come from a horrific colonialist background and basically came out as asexual in season 5 and nobody talked about it, Mary died in a way that was so horrific they didn’t even show it on camera but havers had five minutes of screen time and he is everything now, apparently.

it’s to the point where you can’t escape it, no matter what tags related to the show you do or don’t follow. I’ve seen it before with the way the good omens fanbase changed from people who respected this incredible story criticising blind faith in religion with queer characters that inherently further that message into people calling them “uwu husbands” or whatever.

I’m not particularly angry, I’m just sad to see that the internet has turned into this again. I love the captain. I love ben, he’s a fantastic actor that I grew up admiring!!! but the captain is not the entire show and I think we need to think about why he takes up like. 85% of fan works.

#im so sorry for being a total hypocrite rn-- #youre absolutely right!! #but also. hes my favorite. and theyre my favourite ship. and i just adore them. #it definitely comes down to us all being very delusional and making shit up #bbc ghosts #ghosts #six idiots #the captain #i am not immune to captain bias and for that i apologise

Remember when Catholics lost their mind over trans joan of arc jokes. I didn’t know there was Catholics on tumblr until I saw that drama . anyway they are bringing back that discourse on TikTok right now.

#unserious discourse

Thomas: She was poetry, but he couldn't read.

Kitty: His name was Jared he's 19.

Robin: When his parents built a very strange machine.

Captain, singing: Watch that scene, digging the dancing queen.

Mary, singing: Eyyyy, Macarena!

Fanny: Horrible job everyone.

Does the Captain's heart ache like Mary feels the pain of fire, or like Thomas holds his side when a wound bothers him? Does he feel a tingling in his hand? A spasm that makes him clutch his swagger stick as tightly as the day he died, while feeling Havers' hands on yours?

do you ever think about what Havers felt when being promoted to Captain?

like there was a significant amount of time where that was his rank, his title, his authority; people referred to him as ‘Captain’; and he had to sit with the fact he was called by the name of the man he loved, hundreds or thousands of miles away, with the only peace of mind being that his Captain was safe.

did he flinch every time someone called ‘Captain Havers’ or did it bring him some comfort, like the taking of a last name in marriage? did he suppress a smile at memory of his Captain’s name on his tongue? did it feel like belonging? or did the War all blur into one, eventually forgetting how much comfort and love the word once brought?

and when he was promoted to Major, of course, of course, there was the pride and responsibility of serving, leading men, life-and-death decisions, and strategising on saving lives.

but was there a loss at the one thing connecting him back home to his Captain? a renewed guilt for leaving and then surpassing his beloved? did he wonder what James was up to, at home, as a man far below his equal in the eyes of society and the Army?

were they ever going to be seen as equal to each other or, indeed, to other men?

so glad we're talking about how pathetic cap is. man really thought he could just rock up to a military celebration he wasn't invited to as one of the LOWEST ranked officers who didn't see active combat to see his crush from 5 years ago. and then when that didn't work he genuinely went cock-blind like. in what world is climbing in through the window and stealing someone's ribbons and puppy-dog eyeing at someone you knew for two weeks gonna end well for you king?? what did he think was gonna happen! was he just planning on walking right across the room grabbing havers by the arm and dragging him to the bathroom to fuck?? like what was the plan. what was the goal. wait outside until the party is over. wait A DAY and then like. call him. what's wrong with you. slut.

Alison, pointing at the broken coffee machine: So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just want to know.

Pat: ...I did. I broke it.

Alison: No. No, you didn't. Julian?

Julian: Don't look at me. Look at Thomas!

Thomas: What? I didn't break it!

Julian: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?

Thomas: Because it's sitting right in front of us, and it's broken! And Alison's looking at all of us like we've done something wrong!

Julian: Suspicious.

Thomas: No it's not!

Mary: If it matters, probably not, but the Captain was the last one to use it...

The Captain: Liar! I don't even drink the stuff.

Mary: Oh really? Then what was you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

The Captain: I appreciate the smell of coffee before my morning run. Everyone knows that, Mary!

Pat: Okay, everyone, let's not fight. I broke it. Let Julian pay for it, Alison.

Alison: No! Who broke it?

Thomas: Well... Humphrey's been awfully quiet.

Humphrey: REALLY?

[Everyone starts arguing.]

Alison, turning to the camera: I broke it. I burnt my hand, so I punched it. I predict that in ten minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with imaginary warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick. Those idiots can't even physically touch things!

the captain had a tragic backstory but it's weird when that tragic backstory gets exceptionalised as if he's the only one who was denied love or happiness. the whole point of the ghosts is that they all had tragic and unfulfilling lives where they were robbed of the chance to be happy. that's part of the central thesis of the show. thomas was murdered by his cousin purely so that his cousin could gain more wealth. kitty was relentlessly mocked and bullied by her sister until it was too late. julian-- no sorry i can't talk about his life with a straight face
