(well they wont stretch because you’re-)

(hes dead.)

i’m dead.

(yea, you’re dead, yea)

you’ll be dead soon.

(what?)

sorry!

the way that like. it’s just like that. like. that’s how it is. She WILL be dead soon. this moment is so weirdly funny in a way. makes you realize.

I like how all of Alison’s pranks on the other ghosts are comparatively low key and unserious, and then with Thomas she goes right for the jugular and drives him to the brink of a mental breakdown.

bbc ghosts’ mike is the ultimate wife guy. accepts that his wife can see ghosts almost immediately and doesn’t really gaf. his wife makes him stop tasks or take the long way around otherwise simple things because of the ghosts that he can’t see and cannot tell are there and he’s chill. quits his job in a day because he had a nice phone call. his wife has to do a ghost funeral during an important event for their shared business and he pulls it off anyway. owns a bear. cool guy

I'll never stop thinking about all those ghosts Allison saw/briefly interacted with when she was house hunting with Mike again. Like can you fucking IMAGINE the shock those ghosts experienced upon realizing Allison could see them. and then she fucks off, never to be seen again

took a little trip out to a tour of west horsley place (button house) on thursday!!! i miss it sm i wanna go back

[purpleopossum]

I think one thing people (including Fanny when she tries to insult Allison by saying she isn't "Living up to the family name") forget about Allison is that YES she is a Button. She is the Buttonest Button. And I do mean that in the fondest and most negative way possible. She is Francis's 7/8 times great-granddaughter. She is George's something-th cousin something-removed. And boy does she show it. There is a reason she gets along so well with Julian. She is every bit as ruthless, cunning, thoughtless, and reckless as the other Buttons. She will absolutely commit fraud, blackmail, lie or cheat to get what she wants. Like, she hasn't killed any innocents, but who knows? Maybe Allison just hasn't met the right innocent, standing in front of the right goal (I don't think she would, but idk). To be clear, I love her. It's just always interesting when she sees something she wants and gets that "I'll do anything for this" Button glint in her eye. Followed by Fanny (famous Button murder victim) howling that she is "disgracing the family" and no Button would act like that.

I'm doing a series of "Best Character Named X" polls where all the characters have the same first name but are from completely different media, feel free to send in name/charcacter suggestions, I'm posting one poll a day, check my pinned post for active polls

BBC Ghosts Bird AU

@m1nts and I cooked so have a bird AU

In this AU Alison is an ornithologist who moves with Mike into Button House and notices a really strange combination of birds that live by the lake so she decides to study them

Mike is your average person who just knows that birds are birds and that's about it and Alison has to constantly stop him from feeding them bread

The Captain is a pigeon (because messenger pigeons were used in the war), but since pigeons don't live that long he's a trained race pigeon that got left behind when the old owner moved (because this is his home dammit)

Also they look like they have mustaches

Havers is a Great Reed Warbler that migrates to Africa every winter

Pigeon Cap gets visibly depressed when his warbler bf is gone

Kitty is a Skylark who kinda just started following Cap around one day and does little head bops at the other birds to get them to dance with her

Robin is a tawny owl because moon and hunting, it's also very silly to see a big owl interact with all the little birds, especially Kitty

Mary and Annie are northern cardinal gfs (yes because the feathers look like fire)

Fanny is a duck and she has an absolute blast swimming around the pond and aggressively quacking at all the other birds for funsies

Pat's a dunnock cuz they're garden birds common to Yorkshire

Julian is a European Shag because YES that IS a real bird

Thomas is a nightingale whose mate got stolen by his cousin

After Allison and Mike move in, he warms up to her and sits on her shoulder singing all day, which confuses them both, especially when the tiny little nightingale tries to attack Mike, but hey, she's the bird whisperer now I guess

Humphrey is a chicken because they can survive with their head chopped off

The plague ghosts are a murder of crows that come by to visit (and steal the bird seed Allison puts out) every now and then

bird photos for reference under the cut:

Okay, I've watched this episode at least 30 times now and I just... can't stop thinking about this all from Mike's POV.

First, you're in a house alone with ghosts for a night and fall asleep with your (uneaten) trifle.

And then wake up to the TV falling to the floor

And notice very creepy doll WINKING AT YOU across the room

When you call your wife (from the impenetrable fortress of your wardrobe) to tell the little swindlers off she tells you you're being robbed

"If you can hear me knock three times"🤦‍♀️

The ghosts say there are TWENTY BURGLARS IN THE HOUSE

Literal diehard moment

Stuck between burglars while wondering through the house

And then you fall over in a full suit of armour.

He had one hell of a night.
