"In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago"
I really wanted to post a Christmas illustration so here's my favourite scene from the entirety of BBC Ghosts in honour of its last ever episode today!
It makes me cry so much every time I watch it and it sums up Christmas so perfectly ❤️

Humphrey is such a good man like
He tried so so hard to make his wife happy. Not so that she’d love him, just so that she could be happy.
He held off the queen’s guards so that his wife from an arranged marriage could escape.
He stayed with Thomas when he went cold turkey and helped him with disassociating words from Alison.
He defended Mike when The Captain lost his temper at him for not sticking to the script.
He took the time to explain to fanny how good it is that equal marriage exists, in a way he knew she would understand.
There’s probably more that I can’t remember but yeah, I love him with my whole heart

some ghosts headcanons after the hotel/golf course is built:
Cap gets a crush on any vaguely put-together man with a decent golf swing.
Julian likes to make "swinging" jokes that go over the Captain's head.
Robin likes to chase and find stray golf balls that get lost. He and Julian update Alison on the number of golf balls in the lake every time she visits.
Robin also knows all the strategies for golf, having hyperfixated on it since the golfing company started working on the land.
Thomas gave up on paying attention to golf after finding out the aim is to get the least points.
There is a historic tour around the hotel and grounds, which gets a lots of facts slightly wrong. The first few times, the ghosts went on the tour and corrected everything. Since Alison couldn't prove most of their accounts to the tour guides, not much could be changed. The ghosts still insist the tour is bogus.
Fanny and Humphrey's portraits get professionally restored.
The hotel also hosts some art and sports groups. Robin was very excited when they started doing zumba regularly. Pat and the Captain like to watch cricket games in the summer. One time they tried to join in, but stopped as soon as one of them got stepped through.
Thomas and Kitty both like to watch cute couples who stay in the hotel, especially at dinner. One time they both end up watching the same couple for the evening. Thomas tried very hard to stop Kitty following them to their bedroom, but ended up joining her in spying on them. They don't talk about it.
Pat and the Captain go on a "double date" where they follow a pair of golfers on their anniversary. Pat starts by telling the Captain about the tactics being used (club type, angle, etc) but gets outshined by one of the golfers who clearly knows more.

I simply cannot cope with how perfect The Captain's coming out was.
I particularly love the little touch that it's Fanny who tells him he's brave. Fanny. The woman who had a full rant at Humphrey about what an abomination same sex marriage is and how it's causing the downfall of society.
It's such a beautiful moment of growth for both of them

I swear every day I am closer to getting a shirt with "written by BEN WILLBOND" on it because I, too, am queer, depressed, and funny.
