So casual to Pat and everyone else, so very meaningful to the Captain.

some self indulgent pats

daley loved his dad so much that he could perfectly (and affectionately) mimic him and when he died, he carried on pat’s tradition of filming christmas on his old video recorder. then he grew up and named his own son pat, and they visited his tree like they do every year. it’s heartbreaking and bittersweet, because pat was such a family man and he missed out on so much but he was never, ever forgotten and i am so glad.

I really like the minimalist art people have done of the ghosts and then I thought, I wonder how well that sort of thing would knit into squares for a blanket, and guess what 👻🏠

Headcanon that whenever Kitty gets upset and hides behind something, the Captain and/or Pat will recreate that scene from "Mamma Mia!" and start singing "Chiquitita" until she cheers up/joins in

absolutely devastating news delivered on the Garfield telephone there

the old version for comparison's sake

Robin: Today is Julian big birthday, he 50. We should do big surprise party!

Pat: That's a great idea! We'll throw it in the ballroom!

Fanny: Oh, Pat, you're here, good! Today is the Captain's death anniversary, he died 50 years ago as you know. So he'll want to be alone tonight where he died, in the ballroom. With no noise.

Pat: Oh. Oh no.

Humphrey: I can feel the hijinks beginning to ensue!

Thinking about the Ghosts Christmas Special.

Julian turned Pat’s video off without prying about why, or teasing?

Cap was so excited and gentle all episode- he’s really coming into his own and it’s so delightful to see- plus, no one forced him to act?? They all know each other so well, he got to be stage manager and they were ready to have Fanny double up on a role to fill the gap in the cast?

Pat having to face the fact that sometimes people make fun of him- and in doing so realizing that’s not really what’s happening at all? That it’s actually all affectionate??

Kitty did such a good job! She had so much fun and she was so valued by the whole ‘cast’ I’m so happy for her

Fanny who didn’t complain about partaking in the pantomime? S1 Fanny would have put up a fuss all day, and here her only complaint was rehearsing for so long?

Robin holding Humphrey’s hand so he didn’t walk offstage- and swinging their hands ?? Not to mention Robin talking to Pat and managing to get through to him.

Alison and Mike having their Christmas in the car, which was genuinely so sweet. Snacks and Christmas dinner and games and lighthearted fun- they’re so perfect.

The fucking. “I’m E.T.” Bit was great, I loved Kiell’s delivery so much dkdkksks
