SPOILERS FOR S5 E7 CHRISTMAS SPECIAL (essentially canon compliant but with an extra sprinkling of the ghosts) 

The end is reached by the converging of different paths, each one a private journey towards to that stopping place.

or

a series of quiet realisations that take place in ‘A Christmas Gift’

[ambmod]

i'm fighting between two mindsets rn

a) it's good that they're finding a natural ending point for ghosts because it can't last forever and i don't want to see it lose steam

b) abject depression because DON'T END MY COMFORT SHOW

[ambmod]

So is that Christmas Party advert for Tesco supposed to be some subtle reference to Julian Fawcett? 😝😅

[ambmod]

me @ heimdall

[ambmod]

also i know i said I'd write like 4 ghosts fics and i am so sorry to that anon im so vile i promise it'll happen I've just been so busy and sleepy 🥴

[ambmod]

ok my headcanon for heimdall is that when he got his powers of foresight odin decided to set him loose among the worst people possible. people with sick and evil intentions even with kind faces, so heimdall learned young how twisted people were. and then using that newfound distrust and paranoia of others, odin convinced heimdall that he was the only one who could truly defend asgard from them. basically shaping him to be the perfect guardian, never to be won over by righteousness as he doesn't believe in it.

i love that he's like baldur, with a gift that makes him 100x worse off. because really, imagine having that power. i already get heartily disillusioned reading twitter comments bruh

Favourite part of God of War: Ragnarok is when a character is having a dramatic moment of great personal growth and significance and Kratos is just standing there in the background dutifully holding up a severed head so it can get a good view.

Heimdall: *gets what he rightfully deserves*

me who somehow got attached to him:

some prompts:

Something on Humphrey reconnecting with his body for a while?

An unexpected visitor at Button House

A group hug

Alison and Mike looking after a friend's/relative's pet and the ghosts reaction

Hope one might inspire you but no worries if they don't ♡♡

ooooh wait i love these! im going to try something for all of them lmao so give me a bit of time, thanks for the great ideas-- i hate how i immediately thought of something evil for humphrey sjssk i dont let that man rest

[ambmod]

helloooo i am bored and need to kickstart my writing brain so if anyone has a Prompt or any idea they want to see written i would be eternally grateful for it! 🙏

[ambmod]

this goes against my character in every possible way but somehow my favourite ghost is julian

[ambmod]

update: have never been so nervous in my life around any given human but they were absolutely lovely and very gracious about me and my friend's inability to talk

one thing is that larry is so natural with talking to people lol i feel like it should be physically impossible to be so genuinely friendly lmao

just had ben willbond and larry rickard standing literally one foot away from me (im at an event they're hosting) i promise im feeling normal rn

i will go feral if they don't let mike see the ghosts before the end of the show, i feel like if they ever run out of ideas they just need to give him that ability and the episodes will write themselves

think of the POSSIBILITIES. there's julian and their weird frenemy relationship, thomas openly thirsting over his wife, the idea of mike interacting with fanny in general, so many new dynamics would be opened up it would be a total waste if they didn't do it at some point

i love (read: despise) my mind bc i can go weeks without writing a word then write an angst laden fic on my notes app in one sitting

BBC GHOSTS as university flatmates, because that's pretty much their dynamic:

(Low-key based off my own experiences)

Julian is that one guy from a middle class background who somehow still has the money to shop at M&S, but he's a dick and won't share his fancy pasta with anyone. Out drinking pretty much every night, but somehow appears composed at a reasonable hour in the morning. Dominates the TV.

Pat is always trying to get everyone engaged in flat activities, game nights, movie nights, he goes round everyone's door to try and get them to sign up. Tries to settle disputes, even when it's clear we're past the point of negotiation. Leaves passive aggressive post it notes on someone's door when they've gotten under his skin though. Makes all his meals for the week in one go, and his shelf in the fridge is just full of tupperwear.

Kitty is big on communal food. If you want to use her milk for your breakfast coffee, then you can, just ask first. She'll also bake communal cakes, or leave a tin of sweets out with a post it note "take one!", can and will cook for you if you're too tired. Is just generally really giving. Wants to hear all about the cute person on your course and stays up to watch TV with whoever else is hanging around at that hour.

Humphrey is the elusive shadow roommate who hardly ever emerges from his room, and it took several weeks of constant gossip to even learn his name. He's friendly but secluded. Uses the kitchen late at night so people hardly ever catch him.

Fanny is always hanging out in the kitchen, and insists on gossiping with everyone about their day. When someone mentions going to a club she'll scoff and give them the judgy eye, but wait around the next morning to give them shit about their hangover and ask for all the details. Somehow always has the best food.

Captain is the enforcer of rules. Writes little notes to leave on the fridge where everyone can see them. Has read the entire rental contract and if you ever break it he's sure to tell you. Ban on flat parties. Draws up a schedule for the TV to stop Julian from hogging it, "and you all better stick to it!" The communal toaster in the kitchen belongs to him, so he can "ban" you if you piss him off (you'd still use it behind his back anyway)

Mary, another elusive one. If your room is next to her's you might hear the occaisonal odd noise coming through, but other than that, nada. Cooks her dinner at 3 am, chats with Humphrey while she does so. She struggles with conversation when there's a lot of people in the kitchen, but she'll smile and nod and follow along anyway. Stakes no claim to the television, but always eats Kitty's cake.

Thomas is usually hanging in the kitchen too, and there's really no escaping him. Tries to challenge himself by making something new for dinner every night. Fails miserably, but he's "too evolved" to use the microwave. Also shops at M&S and Waitrose but doesn't have the funds for it like Julian, so he's always broke as fuck. When he overhears you making plans he'll invite himself and you just have to deal with it. Lost his key-card about four times in his first week.

Robin is the most inconsistent. He can spend all his time in the kitchen, and then no one sees him for three weeks, then he reappears like nothing's happened. Will eat your food and use your utensils without washing them, and blame it on literally anyone else. Banned from the toaster, and the microwave. Still uses them. Definitely the loudest at night and in the mornings. If he's watching TV and someone walks in he'll stay perfectly still and measure how long it takes before they see him.

Alison and Mike are some of the upstairs neighbours. They are not happy.

Tag yourself I'm Julian/jk
