#Major Anthony P. Havers

[tamsinbeybey-she-no-porcupine]

Havers's loneliest day

Such a lonely day Shouldn't exist It's a day that I′ll never miss

Such a lonely day And it′s mine The most loneliest day of my life

And if you go I wanna go with you And if you die I wanna die with you

Take your hand and walk away

Such a lonely day And it's mine

It′s a day that I'm glad I survived

Alright so I’ve been mostly quiet about the Ghosts front on here but it’s still my favourite comedy program (other than red dwarf) because I’ve been mourning and obsessing (much to my friends who haven’t seen the show’s annoyance) over the show’s last season and end.

Anyway I was reading the Ghosts companion for the 50th time since October and I realised a few things (sorry for the essay in advance)

1) the Captain’s death day is either the day before, on or just after the day Julian was born (Julian was canonically born the day after VE Day in 1945, The Captain died either on or just after VE Day, the 8th May 1945)

But more importantly,

2) this fucking thing:

So we all know who this is right? Of course we do, it’s Lieutenant/Major Anthony P Havers, the love of The Captain’s life (it’s probably fair to say that isn’t it). Well, look at the description- ‘Photograph of an unknown soldier found in the Commanding Officer’s belongings after Button House was decommissioned at the end of the Second World War. ’ Now there are two things that don’t seem right about the description to me:

1) Havers is referred to as an unknown soldier.

2) Found in the CO’s belongings upon the decommissioning of Button House.

Let’s tackle the first thing first, as it’s pretty easy, there’s a likely chance that it’s been enough years that the people who made the ‘home fires: records from the British front’ records that Alison is printing in the book doesn’t know who Havers was and couldn’t find any information about the person in photo. Perhaps because there weren’t any records and photos beyond that matching Havers or sometimes there just aren’t any records of the soldiers. There is another option, a sadder option is the reason why they couldn’t find information on Havers is because he may have died young. We know he didn’t die in the war but there’s a chance he died soon afterwards, perhaps in a ‘disgraceful’ way, but I guess we’ll never know.

The second thing, the Captain wasn’t there at Button House when it was decommissioned. He was in Weymouth from the end of ‘44, and the next time he was at Button House was the day he died, and he didn’t have a bag on him or anything so….how was this photo from his belongings in Button House after the war?

My theory is that the photo either fell out of The Captain’s pocket when he climbed in through the kitchen window or was found in his personal effects at Weymouth after the war when Button House was decommissioned.

Sorry for this bad unnecessary essay but what I’m trying to say is that I think there definitely was more tragedy surrounding the Captain that he maybe didn’t witness himself after he died beyond Havers grieving for him.

We were strangers, starting out on a journey Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through

Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing. At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you. Unexpected, what you did to my heart.

Knew there was somebody, somewhere. Like me alone in the dark.

I'll be there when the world stops turning I'll be there when the storm is through

Now I know my dream will live on. Nothing's gonna tear us apart

In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you

Cap was having a panic attack and calmed down aka I'm in denial edition

[tamsinbeybey-she-no-porcupine]

to think all this time we were like

Oh Havers is the one in control of situations, can hide his emotions well, is more levelheaded etc.

just to find out that he also fell for the Captain within two months and so hard that he carried these feelings for 5 long years without contact*

They were both lovesick idiots and I love it

*to be fair though the man was fighting on the front lines and saw horrors no one should ever see. It makes sense that he maybe revisited his memories of Button House and Cap over and over again as a little safe space in his brain which probably kept these feelings alive. (If my interpretation of the scene with Cartwright is correct he even hoped it would be the same with Cap and for a short while was heartbroken in an "of course not" kind of way until he learned Cap still felt the same 💔)

2023 Character Wrap

Top 9 characters for the year.

1.) Major Anthony P. Havers-BBC Ghosts

aka my soft boy.

(Surprise the self-proclaimed Havers lunatic loves Havers 😉) Just know this man stole my heart in 2021 in under 4 minutes (the microexpressions fml) and this year it was my highlight to see him again. He's kind, protects the man he loves from ridicule, has a boyish grin and a cheeky streak. He likes dancing. He fell for his beau because he was attracted to his kindness. He's been through it and continues to go through it 😢Also PSC answered my question about him and I'm still screaming about it to this day🥺💖

2. The Captain -BBC Ghosts

aka my creaky boy.

He is silly, kind, gay and autistic, a dad, sometimes bitchy and one of my most beloved characters ever. Also so gorgeous and a little bit pathetic. I adore him with all my heart and soul. Blorbo from my shows.

3. Thraxus Boorman -Willow 2022

Sarcastic, great fighter, loyal, kind but he'll jump of cliffs to deny that (literally), the funniest character of 2023 and an absolute iconic bi disaster. He's a classic rogue, as is his absolute badass girlfriend.

4.) Joe Pritchard -The light in the hall

aka Joe, babes

Such a brilliant character, somehow really dark and mysterious but ultimate kicked puppy vibes. He'll keep you (and himself) guessing until the end if he really killed someone. He has amnesia due to traums. I really wasn't sure until the end if he did it or not. Amazing character. My Boy needs 1 million hugs.

5.) Graydon Hastur-Willow 2022

aka Graydon, babes aka Prince of darkness

A prince who loves learning esp. languages, very, very dark past, kind, loving, just some guy in love, easily corrupted but he's fighting it. and as it turns out he has a gift for magic. The sweetest love confession ever.

6. Barbara Parker/Sophie Straw-Funny woman

Gorgeous, hilariously funny, smart, sweet, standing up for what she believes in and makes her way in an industry that only treasures her because of her looks. But she makes them see how brilliant her brain is.

7. Sir Humphrey Bone -BBC Ghosts

aka Humphrey my goldhaas

Awkward, kind and odd. He deserves all the love in the world and to be seen and loved for who he is. This year he's getting revenge on those who ignore/mistreat him and I am here for it. Boy is not the best listener though.

8. Lord Adam Quinn -A kind of spark

aka my pretty evil princess

He is legit evil okay. But idgaf. Great villain and his modern day equivalent makes me weak in the knees. Portrayal wise he is also a small amount of ridiculous and I love that.

9. Robin the caveman - BBC ghosts

aka my chaos gremlin

Kind, wise, chaotic little gremlin also sometimes more the family dog than anything else. Loves space. Utterly hilarious and tragic at the same time. His worst trait is incest according to him. I love him so much I'm gonna get a tattoo that's just about him.

To be fair I have a plethora of beloved characters that rotate in my brain 24/7 but these nine were either new or in special focus this year. Ghosts hyperfixation is at it's absolute peak, I was barely able to watch anything else. Also I watched some things that didn't leave me with a favourite character 🤷🏻���♀️However honourable mention has to be Allan from Barbie.

[tamsinbeybey-she-no-porcupine]

i have talked so much and often about Havers kindness towards Cap

Without ever realising before just how much Havers needed someone kindness in his life, in this environment, as well and that was the inital draw towards Cap.

I am sobbing

They both needed/wanted kindness

I am unwell.
