So some of the ghosts were alive at the same time (which is very exciting to me!!!) so I drew them how it would look if they knew each other before they died
Humphrey (age 45) and Mary (age 4) - Mary wants to be returned to her mother as quickly as possible
Fanny (age 58) and the Captain (age 12) - he's tipping his cap to her because he's a polite young man and she would yell at him if he didn't
The Captain (age 45) and Julian (age 0-1) - this man should never be given a baby
Then Pat and Julian but I didn't draw them bc it would just be two babies staring at each other lol

Captain and Fanny’s friendship has always been so fascinating to me. They just work. This is not just because of how similar they are on a surface level - both rarely laugh, both are somewhat judgemental, and both (in my opinion) display symptoms of autism, to name a few examples - but also because of how unconventional they are. The Captain is a WW2 soldier who likes to act the hero and the tough guy, these traditional masculine values that were highly regarded as the ‘proper’ way to be. And yet he’s scared. He’s the first to run. He represses himself because his true self is not what society expects him to be. And Fanny is very similar. She maintains a facade of being a lady, acting how she would have been expected to even when she dies. But in actuality, she’s repressed her intellect because she was told all her life that business was no place for a woman. All she wanted to do was help her father, but because the mere idea of a woman outside of the home was so outlandish to her mother, she was forced to marry and spend her entire life in misery. Ultimately, I believe it’s these unconventional traits that allow them to connect on the level that they have. They see themselves in each other, and finally feel comfortable in indulging in their true natures whenever they’re alone.

Seeing Fanny looking after Mia (checking up on her when she's asleep and calling Julian to pull up the blanket, immediately jumping up to go to her when she's crying) makes me wonder ...
a) if she doesn't talk about her own children because she loved them so much it hurts her to talk about them or
b) if she's trying to make up for lost time with Mia because she couldn't love and care for her children like she wanted to because of the way her marriage (and thus the children) came about.
Maybe it's a little bit of both - that she loved them very fiercely but could never really show because by the time they were born, Fanny had become Lady Button already and closed off her heart to the world.

Honestly, I think if Alison had consulted her finances with Fanny (self-taught but competent businesswoman), Pat (had a full-time job at the bank), and Julian (admittedly morally bankrupt with it but knows how to handle money) then the Cooper's financial situation would've been a lot better

Hello! I absolutely adore your art (I'm still not over your drawing of Thomas as a flamingo)!
May I prompt a drawing of Lady Button and Dante and/or one of Nigel the Plague Ghost?
an unofficial portrait
