Cap sketches

I think one of my favourite things about The Captain's characterisation is that he's not there as The Token Gay, but also being gay is so inherently a part of who he is that it's impossible to censor it. You can't just cut a few lines and have a heterosexual Captain. It's baked into the fibre of his being, it informs how he interacts with other characters, his little looks in the background, his line delivery, the way other characters act around him.

This is what queer representation should be. You can't take the gay out of us and have us still be the same person, so you shouldn't be able to do that to gay characters by cutting a few lines/scenes. The Captain is a masterpiece in honest, heartfelt, respectful representation of queer identity. The Idiots writing and Ben's performance makes The Captain one of the best pieces of queer representation I've ever seen on screen.

Just for everyones information. I just bingewatched all of BBC Ghosts in like 5 days (would have been 2 if I didn't had to you know, work) and I'm absolutely obsessed with it. Can't believe I never watched this before. Guess who my favorite character is (a hint. It's the captain. S5 ep 5 killed me, I can't anymore.)

Never not thinking about how happy and excited the captain was throughout 2x06

I mean… LOOK AT HIM 🫠

BBC Ghosts: This is the Captain. As a former commanding officer in WWII, he has a need for control humorously juxtaposed with the inherent impotence of being a ghost. His buttoned-up nature also serves as a metaphor for his repressed feelings as a gay man, masking a sensitivity that comes through in his gentle kindness toward others.

American version of Ghosts: Remember Tobias Fünke from Arrested Development? Imagine if he was constantly shitting himself.

Thinking about how The Captain probably has the others call him that because "James" was the last thing Havers said to him, and he wants that to stay between them.
