i can’t be the only one who watches humphrey scenes and tries to guess where the rest of larry is and what weird position they have him in
I was watching part of the family with my friend the other day and we had talked about this earlier. I noticed they kept going to say something so I asked what was wrong and so they very sheepishly turned to me and said ‘how did they film this. Where is he?’ as Thomas brutally used Humphrey’s head for keepie-uppies.
jflskdjflskdjflsdkfj PLEASE
did you tell them not to worry?? that it’s just mannequin heads and greenscreen?? no larrys (larries?) were harmed in the making of this video.
Eventually!
Though having Larry being carried round by a man in a green suit was a very tempting option for a tall tale.
I do desperately want to see the bloopers from the episode where Fanny’s having an affair with Humphrey’s body especially when Pat’s holding Humphrey’s head like cupped around his cheeks
what happened that made humphrey decide, “while my wife is in this room for hours with these strange men i’m going to go put on all my fancy boy stuff,” because like. he wasn’t wearing that when they all showed up at the house. and then once they started to leave, he was. this man either had to sit for a whole ass portrait while his wife was plotting to kill the queen, or he got bored and started playing dress up. i like to think it’s the second one.
Shoutout to how soft this series was. Like, just off the top of my head, we got
Thomas’s little head tilt as if to say “oh, Kitty, wait!” as he runs after her when she’s upset
Cap’s little ‘Katherine’ and his whole dad speech
Humphrey genuinely trying to be a good husband and sacrificing himself so sophie can have a life that she chose for herself (even though he also got no choice in their marriage)
Julian and Robin huddling in their “cave” and just their friendship as a whole
The fact that everyone has canonically been protecting Kitty from her own past ever since she died, and have been taking new ghosts aside to ensure that they do the same (it may not be what’s best for her but they all do genuinely think that it is)
Lady B and Cap’s little shared smile in the final episode
Everyone pretending to eat and all of their expressions, including, but not limited to, Mary softly saying “yes, and” to herself, Robin’s momentary confusion followed by actually improving, Pat’s smile as he repeats Robin’s desert, Thomas’s little smile as he realises what’s going on, and Alison’s expression as she looks around and realises that this is her family and it’s perfect
And, my personal favourite:
Everyone’s expressions when Cap almost came out??? Like, they all clearly know, but they’re so patient and supportive and they all look at him with such quiet hope that maybe he’s accepted himself and it honestly broke me but. In a good way
bbc ghosts making the caveman & tory mp the kind of child best friends who would definitely draw dicks on everything & would immediately spell out ‘boobs’ on a calculator is honestly everything I could’ve ever wanted lol
The way Kitty says “Mama,” all shocked and heartbroken after she breaks the bust. Not “Mother”, or even by her name (if they had that kind of relationship)–but a soft and gentle “Mama”, like the name of someone you love very much. Someone who loved you back and made sure you never forgot.
Eleanor’s mother treated Kitty like her own, and you will not take this from me.
thomas’ mum sounded like she had a heart of gold and really, truly loved and supported him, and thinking about how her own nephew stood there and lied to her face about how her son died fills me with rage yes I’m thinking too hard about this show but that’s what it’s done to me
ghosts headcannon: after their night camping, alison goes online and finds a way to buy the badges/scout awards that pat gave her and cap, and displays cap’s in his room for him
