so everyone says Ben always plays gay characters (and it's true) but have you also seen Larry? half his characters are either old men/wizards or queer

GHOSTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA - part eleven

Plague ghosts edition

They deserved some spotlight (i say as i only added them so i could make Mick and Jemima act like siblings in future parts)

I'm also aware that Jemima isn't really a plague ghost but she is a ghost of a victim of A plague.. so she's here now.

Happy birthday you peculiar little chap💕

[tamsinbeybey-she-no-porcupine]

I mean I have a vague idea on who might be the most popular ghost but 🤷🏻‍♀️

[theresastarmanwaitinginthesky008]

What if Robins sucked off prediction math was correct and the main ghosts just didn’t notice?

One of the plague ghosts going missing would probably go unnoticed by anyone but the other plague ghosts

All Hallows' Eve - A BBC Ghosts Fic

Characters: Alison, Mike, Thomas, the Ghosts, the Plague Ghosts

Chapter: 1/2

Summary: Halloween affects every ghost differently. Some become more powerful while others feel as if they're dying all over again. This year, Alison learns the hard way that sometimes, seemingly harmless traditions can have dire consequences (based on this post).

The day started with a bang and ended with a whimper. Alison was just about to finish her cereal when Robin stormed into kitchen, announced excitedly that it was, “Full Moonah Day!” – and promptly blew the fuses. The whole house abruptly went dark. “Uh, what just happened?” Mike asked with his spoon halfway to his mouth at the same time as Alison growled, “Robin!” “Wasn’t me,” Robin mumbled, refusing to meet her eyes and sounding anything but innocent. Alison blindly reached for her phone and turned on the flashlight before she gave Robin a glowering look. “Try again.” “Wasn’t me on purpose,” Robin amended. “Is not my fault is Halloween today.”

i know the plagues being obsessed with thomas was largely a joke bc alison threw her portrait of him in the basement, but I think there's actually a lot of potential for them to get along like. the plague ghosts are largely intelligent, they play games together, talk, comfort each other, the same as the upstairs ghosts. they have a working knowledge of mechanics, they're interested in art and theater. they are honestly some of the most cultured ghosts in the house. they like to learn, they just enjoy being included, they are pretty easy going. thomas likes to talk, likes to teach, likes to engage. all of thomas' exercises and ponderings would be a hit with the plagues I swear. it genuinely seems like they would get along, am I crazy?

Alright, I've now successfully binged through s1 to 4 (Thanks again so much for the link) and I feel the following way:

after the panto

Nigel: He was really dashing on stage, wasn’t he?

all the other Plaguers nod

Mick: Yeah, ‘specially when he twirled that magic wand in his fingers.

Nigel: Wand? We’re talking about Thorne, who are you talking about?

Mick: Er...

[ghosts-but-one-word-is-pussy]

Oh, Alison. My Alison. You are like a… You are like a….

Pussy?

questions from the ghosts ask game HERE!!! please send more i am very much enjoying these •w•

28: top 5 headcanons for [insert this character here]?

YES!!!! UNDERRATED CHARACTER QUESTIONS!!!!!! i fucking love mike, he deserves SO MUCH on this show, and kiell is SO FUNNY. he had me howling on taskmaster and he really is just playing himself on ghosts with a different name. LOVE the plague ghosts!!!!! i wish we had so much more (esp nigel he's my favourite), i loved them in the newest christmas special <3

MIKE

- adhd KING.

- mike is actually pretty good mates with julian and robin specifically - as good as you can be with incorporeal enteties you cant see or hear. he and robin both learnt a sort of morse code to communicate with general lights, and a stranger things system in one of the non-public rooms of BH. julian uses fridge magnets (word ones and letter ones) to talk to him, as well as keyboards. yes they often use their skills to take the absolute piss, but sometimes they INVOLVE him in their mischief.

- similarly, he can sort of communicate with mary? she walks through him if she really needs his attention, or sets off a smoke alarm (not the house ones, but extra ones they put at person-level). she always says good morning when he and alison come for breakfast :)

- even after he figures out the ghosts arent floating above him, he still looks up and away from them if they've been pricks just to piss them off.

- him and obi have known each other since nursery or reception. when alison married mike she FULLY understood that she was getting obi as part of the package. mikes parents ring obi every christmas and send him presents. they are like his second set of parents.

PLAGUE GHOSTS

- mick absolutely has a crush on cap after s4. cap is far too oblivious to notice though.

- geoff and jean are absolutely an item now. divorce wasnt really a thing back in their day? so geoff and his wife (lollys ghost) just kept on trucking until news of divorce trickled down to the basement (DECADES late) and they immediately were like "oh fuck this marriage." they're better friends now, and jean and geoff are happy :)

- speaking of jean, when walter left nigel behind during "about last night", jean absolutely tore him a new aresehole when she found out. nobody can stand a sad nigel and his big baby blue doe eyes.

- jemima isnt part of the plague pit. shes from a later plague, but she visits reasonably often because the basement folks are like her. she doesnt scare or disgust them, they're like a big family of uncles and aunts to her. however... she doesnt stay down there. she knows she makes the basement folk a little sad, since she reminds them of their own kids - none of whom have stayed as ghosts until the current time. so she drifts in and out. the basement folk are actually delighted by her visits and encourage her to stay more - yes, she does remind them of their long gone kids, and that is sad, but they dont hold it against her and love her company enough it doesnt matter. she doesnt quite believe them though :(

- nigel is very much a caretaker of the group. which is funny because ALL the other ghosts take care of him <3. especially jean. shes very much a mum of the group.
