#ghosts book

[nortism]

thinking about how mary was literally married yet her fondest memory is hanging out, talking shit with annie. i know what you are!!!!

[ktsphere]

Fuck it some book ramblings under the readmore because I can't hold it in

*SPOILERS FOR THE GHOSTS BOOK (BUTTON HOUSE ARCHIVES) UNDER THE CUT*

All mentions of the captain's name being blurred or burned or wet or tea-stained or ripped I absolutely called it!!!!

Page 100

Absolutely killed me

"nothing I could do" 😭

Combined with page 56 means Havers was only at BH for 2 months and Cap gets infatuated so so quickly (although not quite as quickly as Thomas given page 24)

Also combined with the munitions request telegrams the days before and after he left "please" 😭😭😭 and page 178

Middle names!!!

Julian's middle name being released next to a photocopy of his arse is so Julian (p170)

Pat's being in a genuinely harrowing horror story is also perfect (p91)

Humphrey's poor decapitated paintings (and his actual gravestone) killed me all over again (also the French on page 149 I'm sobbing)

Fanny getting a maiden name to go with her middle name!!! (p175)(And also revealing that George lived the rest of his days in the house with only the staff for company which definitely 100% means more manwiches that all the ghosts would have seen)

Page 7

Julian's gift coming from perseverance because of page 3 is incredible, no notes, absolutely perfect

Page 195

So fucking cute!!!

And I think Mat's daughter may have helped with the calligraphy here as she's listed in the credits!!

Page 45

The fucking semi-naked artist retreat in 1968 that all the ghosts up to the Captain would have seen

Absolutely crying laughing at the thought

Needs a fic

Page 97

Cap 100% crushing on Ben fogle so true of him

Page 127

Cannot believe they got away with that (or I just have a filthy mind)(no it's definitely them)

Page 140

Pat casually announcing to the whole radio that his best buddy Maurice is having that affair, ay? Honestly he trusts too much (also side note she gets a middle and maiden name too!)(and so does Maurice!)

Page 208

Cake bake by the lake!!! ("The incident")(canon yonderland crossover)

When Pat ends the postcard with "Hope you're feeling better dad" and then the next one is just addressed to his mum ;-;

YIPEE!!!!

[octopusoptimusprime]

there’s some sort of joke in the fact that i’m using my antidepressants packet as a bookmark for the ghosts book

[quillandrapier]

Quite nice that I'm not the only one struggling to read the "handwritten" parts of the ghosts book

Except it kinda sucks because it means I'm missing a lot of content

Successfully ordered the BBC Ghost book on Amazon, autism won yet again today.

Thomas thornes annotations of lord byrons poetry sound like my comments when doing poetry in English class and I love that

[ktsphere]

I read the whole book in one day I am dying to share bits but it arrived early so there's no one to scream with

[wanologic]
