#bbc ghosts headcanons

[half-an-hour-hence]

Another headcanon I have is that Kitty was able to see the ghosts as a kid until she was about seven years old, and Robin was her ‘imaginary’ best friend. They would talk for hours at night, and run around the house playing hide and seek. Her sister would tease her about it, and so a combination of that and her ability to see Robin fading convinced her that it wasn’t real. But the day after she died she found Robin standing outside in the rain. They recognised each other immediately, and started giggling and jumping around, holding each other’s hands. They didn’t stop until the rain ceased that evening.

Okay hear me out, what if the ghosts when someone walks through them feel how they did when they died…like pain wise.

Thomas Thorne Going On About How Amazing He Finds You Would Include

Thomas isn’t one to not use his words. He’ll spend copious amounts of time trying to find the best words to describe you and how he feels about you.

This is objectively horrible for the other ghosts after a time, though Robin does appreciate learning some new vocabulary and Kitty and Fanny do occasionally have a fun time participating and throwing out suggestions.

But mainly, right words or not, Thomas finds many ways to say how wonderful he finds you. Magnificent, glorious, radiant. Those three he tends to throw around a lot.

No matter how fanciful he might say it, even the plainest words can show you how much you mean to him.

His favorite line that he’s managed to come up with is this: “For you to know your worth to me, and to the world, is akin to knowing all the secrets this universe has to offer.”

Pat and Julian have made a secret “Dad Club” where they talk about being dads. After the events of “It’s Behind You” and a long, intense discussion (a quick, knowing glance at each other) the two decide to invite the Captain into Dad Club. The Captain happily accepts their invitation

BBC Ghosts Headcanons Pt. 1!

This is the first installment of my BBC Ghosts headcanons! I will still be taking requests for both shows so don't worry :) Now, onto the post!

*Pat*

Loves to indulge in Sci-Fi content. Has attended conventions for Star Trek and Doctor Who.

Almost blind in his left eye from getting hit in the eye as a kid with a rock. Him and his friends were having a snowball fight and one of the friends thought it would be funny to hide a rock in one.

He treats his scout troop as a second family! Those kids are getting gifts from him before they have Christmas with their own respective families.

Allergic to shellfish. He can't have shellfish like shrimp without having a mild reaction.

Definitely got his own boys an Atari for a birthday or another holiday. He's the one that plays it with him (mainly on the controller with the boys watching).

Very good writing skills but not a talented artist. Best he could do would be stick figure variations.

*Captain*

Despite not even being the oldest ghost, gets called "old man" frequently.

Has rheumatoid arthritis (mainly in his knee joints). The main reason why he wasn't allowed on the front lines and has joint problems.

Mostly raised by his mother. His father fought in World War 1 and was killed in battle.

Tried to stay as active as he could. Would have routines before and after school as a child that would mainly consist of minor exercise and jogging.

Has definitely spent his teen years researching every weapon used in WW1 by all countries involved.

His hair started graying due to a combination of the stress of his rank as a Captain and due to an iron deficiency from his arthritis.

[leftabit-leftabit]

I’m feeling a little... (a lot) down right now

Could you maybe try and cheer me up with some of your favourite BBC Ghosts head-canons/theories, please?

😥🥺

What if...Ygraine Returns as a Ghost to Care for Her Son

Servant: Sir, I came to inform you that the knights you sent to battle are all dead.

Uther (sitting on the throne, distracted): Well, send their belongings to their families and tell them they were heroes. And bring more cookies, I'm hungry.

Arthur (six years old, watching the scene with distracted eyes next to a very angry ten-year-old Morgana): Good people die young, so when I grow up, I want to be bad like mom. 😌

Morgana: What are you talking about, Arthur! Your mother was a kind and good woman! Where did you get the idea that she was bad!?

Arthur: Yesterday I heard mom say that her dream was for a manure cart to run over dad so he would die once and for all. 🙂

Morgana (eyes wide in complete shock): Your mother would never say such a thing, Arthur… 🫢

Ygraine (next to Uther, trying to strangle him but unable to because she is a ghost): Don't listen to her, baby, mom hates dad and doesn't support anything he's doing! I still can't believe I married this man, listen to what mom says, Arthur, don't follow in his footsteps!

Arthur (turns to Morgana): Mom just said she hates dad, she's also trying to strangle him, but her hands keep going through his body, I think she's a ghost. 🫠 *slowly losing sanity*

Morgana (realizing that the young prince might be crazy): Arthur, maybe she's just joking…

Ygraine (trying to make Uther trip by stepping on his own cape): I'M NOT JOKING! If I could, I would kill him myself! I just can't because I can't touch him!

Arthur: I don't know if the gods would like so much violence…

Ygraine: The gods don't like your father!

Arthur: Okay… 🙂 *takes a cookie from the tray the servant brought*

I really do think that Robin and Humphrey are very good friends. In my head, Robin sees that Humphrey isn’t included as much as the others, so he makes time for him. These are some headcanons I have for them:

They sometimes stargaze while Robin talks about the moon and all the stars he’s chosen to represent the ghosts that have moved on, and what those friends were like.

Humphrey always wants Robin to tell him about his wife. The first time he brought it up, the caveman asked what he wanted to know. Humphrey simply replied with: ‘Anything. Anything and everything’. And so every night, he learns a little more about the person he married. What she was like, what she would do, how she would talk about him. It’s painful to hear at the best of times, but it always brings a smile to Humphrey’s face nonetheless.

Robin is the only ghost who doesn’t frighten Humphrey’s body. Whenever he sees Humphrey’s head lying around, he always tries to find the body to make him whole again.

Robin continues to teach Humphrey French. He’s got quite good at it, and sometimes they can have full conversations in French.

When Humphrey is whole, they play chess together (even though Robin ends up winning all the time, it’s still fun). They also compete against each other when game shows are on the TV.

If Ghosts had a more mature rating and was able to do more creepy ghost powers/death side effects:

Pat, Humphrey, and Thomas are eternally bleeding. Their clothes are wet, their hand gets wet from touching it, they'll leave trails of blood down the hall, etc. The blood on their hand or the floor disappears pretty quickly as their ghost powers make them reset but their clothes are always soaked

Thomas's whole stomach and the top of his pants are bloodstained. Pat's is all located on his shoulders/necktie and has the most obvious stains due to the color difference of his clothes. There are a few drops here and there down his sleeves and chest. It's pretty heavy because of the major arteries the neck that would've been punctured. Humphrey's is by fair the heaviest and is all over the front of his torso. Like the whole thing. When he died he fell face down into the growing puddle of blood that would've been pooling from his stump

Fanny can turn her head frighteningly far. There's a sick crunching sound that happens when she does this and it always sends shivers down Alison's spine even after years of hearing it. The other ghosts have joked and compared Fanny to an owl because of this and she chews them out every time

Pat coughs a lot because he's got blood stuck in his throat. He'll randomly have a huge coughing fit, cough a bunch of blood into his hand and then go "Oh no. Anyways..." He also has trouble breathing and has to take breaks to sit down during physical activities like dancing or running. It annoying but not too much of a hindrance to his daily life; it's like having asthma or allergies. The blood can make his voice sound a little weird sometimes too, like he's gurgling smth while he talks. He just clears his throat and keeps going

The plague ghosts vomit up bile every once in a while. It's black, steaming, and putrid but disappears almost instantly

Kitty also throws up when she's excited... which is a lot. She also gets chills, lightheadedness, fevers, and uncontrollable shaking. There's not much the other ghosts or Alison can do to help her besides sitting with her/trying to distract her. She'll lay down and try to breathe through it while Alison reads her a story or the Captain infodumps abt smth or Robin holds her hand. Sometimes she falls asleep, sometimes she doesn't. She's always better after a few hours tho

Fanny gets really bad migraines. Alison's theory is that they're caused by her broken vertebra. Fanny doesn't particularly care why they happen. When they happen, she's in an even worse mood than usual so it's best to steer clear of her. She doesn't have the energy to yell at ppl but will remember the slightest fault and wait until she's better to go on a lecture. Again, there's not much Alison or the other ghosts can do to help besides let her lay down and try to be quiet

Mary and Robin's skin peels off. It's white and flaky and leaves raw red spots underneath. The dead skin disappears once it leaves them but the skin underneath is never healthy and flakes off too

Both Robin and Mary smell like burning flesh but only Mary is detectable by living people. Robin only smells when he uses his powers. It really puts a lot of the ghosts off, especially newer ones

Robin's body also gets affected by his powers in other ways. If it's something small like flickering a light, his hair will stand on end. Something bigger like turning a light on/off or flickering a more powerful light will cause him to spasm. It's usually just his arms and wears off after a minute. Smth really big like redirecting that lightning bolt for Mike will be the equivalent of him actually getting hit w the lightning. His body seizes up, falls over unresponsive and twitching for several minutes, but he's always ok in the end. Alison and the other ghosts get very worried but he walks it off

Julian and the Captain both feel remnants of their heart attacks. Shortness of breath, tingling/numbness in the arms, dizziness, heart palpitations, etc. They both choose to keep it a secret from the others and cover it up but if they're particularly stressed abt smth, they'll start getting chest pains which is harder to cover up. The Captain has excused himself from many social situations to go sit on the floor and try to breathe through the pain and calm his heart. Robin's the only one who knows about Julian's because it happened once while they were hanging out. Logically, they both know they can't die again but it's still scary

Mary likes to sit in the lake because even tho she can't feel it like she would if she was alive, the cold water is soothing on her burns

All the ghosts have days where they just lay abt bc the pain is too much to move. From who does it the most to who does it the least it goes Mary, Humphrey, Pat, Fanny, Thomas, Kitty, Robin, the Captain, Julian

Jealous Thomas Thorne Would Include

Thomas is easily jealous of anyone you talk to. It’s his romantic nature that causes such easy sway to his emotions.

His jealousy doesn’t tend to last far beyond whatever interaction you were having with the person he was jealous of.

But there are times where his jealousy doesn’t so easily leave him.

During such occasions, Thomas will brood more than usual, taking to the nearest window and gazing out longingly. You try not to question it.

His poetry, at times quite good, at least for a man who can only commit to memory, gets very dark and not as good as his usual standards for himself.

All he wants is for you to ask him why his mood has changed, but you’re not a mind reader, so it takes you a while to actually ask him, but when you do, he’s right back to normal.

I like to think they had a messenger pigeon at Button House during WWII and that it was very fond of the Captain. Cap would try to act all in charge during drills or whatever but he just has this little pigeon sitting on his shoulder cooing happily.

Whenever it was sent out to give a message he’d give a little salute before sending it off, and he definitely visited the makeshift aviary every once in a while to say hi.

I also like to think that he tried to tame the Ghigeon (ghost pigeon) but he was very unsuccessful

I am not projecting my want for a pet pigeon that’s ridiculous why would you suggest that

[masterofiodine]

bbc ghosts modern au!!

making up their outfits was really fun (especially kitty and thomas, he would look great in skirt)

[moosedrawss]

Mary, in the style of Leyendecker

Specifically inspired by this painting:

Also partly inspired by that post pointing out that most of the fandom only creates stuff about the captain (sorry I can't remember who made that post and can't find it right now) so I thought I'd try drawing my favourite ghost, Mary

[spiritual-activity]

Do you have any BBC Ghosts hcs to share with us?

Of course! I am making a series of those like I did with the CBS Ghosts! I will start posting them this week as a matter of fact! Like I did with the CBS Ghosts, I will be doing 2 characters per post.

At the end of doing them, I will compile a masterlist of the headcanons and post them! I am currently working on compiling all of my CBS Ghosts HCs on a masterlist!
