They should do an episode of ghosts where Robin goes to space and the captain is gay. That would be nice.

The Captain really is too gay to function(literally)
One day Alison and Mike receive a letter. It’s from a woman asking very politely if she could bring her father to see Button House; he was stationed there for a time during WWII and is now very elderly - his fondest wish is to see the house one last time before he dies. The letter is signed by the woman, her surname is Havers.
Alison (forgetting that the Captain mentioned that name in ‘Redding Weddy’) asks Cap if he knew or remembers anyone called Havers from his time in Button House. Very quietly he tells her that yes, he knew a Havers, why? She explains the situation, that he wants to come and look at the house before he dies. When the Captain doesn’t answer, Alison asks if everything is okay. His only response is a very quiet, “Yes. I should like to see him again.”
So Alison replies to the woman, agrees that she and her father can come to the house. To make the journey a little easier on the old man, they agree that they can spend the night so he’s not doing to much exerting travelling in one day.
When they arrive, the Captain is at the door with Alison to greet them although they can’t see him. It’s his Havers for sure. He has aged, obviously, well into his nineties by now, but it’s definitely him. Cap could never forget that smile. He watches Havers as he, his daughter, Alison and Mike slowly make their way around the house. He remembers walking these same hallways with Havers, an unspoken truth between them beating like a heart. It’s bittersweet, seeing him again after so long, but he’s glad he got this final chance.
He talks to Havers as they all go around the house. Pointing at things and down hallways, asking him “Remember when we...” followed by a question Havers won’t answer. Alison can hear it but she’s kind enough not to say anything. She knows this is between Cap and Havers.
The Captain goes into Havers’ room that night, just to get a look at him alone. Say the things he didn’t want to say in front of Alison, even though Havers is asleep and wouldn’t hear him anyway.
But then something happens - Havers begins to glow and too late Cap realises that he’s dying. He calls for Alison, but she’s fast asleep elsewhere in the house and wouldn’t come. Havers’ spirit is there and he can see Cap now.
“Captain,” he says, “is that really you?”
“Yes,” Cap replies weakly. “I... I have missed you Havers.”
“I have missed you too. Am I... dead?”
Cap sniffs. “Yes. Yes, I’m afraid so.”
“Oh.” He sounds underwhelmed, like he expected more from death. “Well. I am glad I got this chance to see you again before I go. I missed you every day after I left. I came to your funeral, sir.”
“I saw,” Cap replies, “I was there.”
At that, Havers’ spirit laughs and Cap suddenly doesn’t care. He knows times have changed now, he knows that he would be accepted by now if he’d lived long enough. In another life he and Havers could have worked, they could have been happy.
So he gives in and says, “I loved you, Havers.”
Havers gives a weak smile, returns, “I loved you too.”
And then he moves on, and he leaves Cap for the second time.
we just kinda make shit up
This is a genuine question because of the amount of Capvers content: Where are y’all getting the fuel from? He appeared for like five minutes, he spoke like two lines, where’d you get the personality from?
"And you never knew, how much I really liked you... because I never even told you. Oh, but I meant to..."
WAS IT CASUAL CAPTAIN!!!! WAS IT!!!!!!
was it casual when you stared at him playing cricket and analysed his arms and his hair!!?? was it casual when you nearly broke down when he told you he was going to leave!!!! was it casual when you thought about him even though he wasn't in the room, was it casual when he was the only person in every room to respect you no matter what! was it casual when the fondest moment of you life was walking with HIM!!!!!! was it casual when you kissed your pillow at night AND YOU IMAGINED KISSING HIM!!!!!!!!! was it casual when you missed him so so dearly it hurt to be alive! was it casual when you snuck into a party to see him even though he might have not even been there but you'd do anything you could to see him at least once more! was it casual when he gave you something so fundemental to his power that it came to symbolise more than power it came to mean his memory his love and his devotion, was it casual when there was such an understanding between you that he knew what was unspeakable and unspoken unable to leave your dying lips for the fear of reputations...
WAS IT CASUAL!!???? WAS IT CASUAL CAPTAIN!!!!!!!!!!
every damn time they just hit me with the tears!!! we were robbed people ROBBED!!!!!!!!! shhhhh i know it's technically cannon but like my sweet gays my ridiculous and socially awkward gays!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE DANCED TOGETHER TO WE'LL MEET AGAIN WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
why couldn't they have ended up together :'( I HATE HOMOPHOBIAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
the capvers canon is very messy and very confusing, I don’t understand it really (no one does) the book not lining up with the show and the 6th of June and post 22nd of June arguments… so why not ask the people in vote form (id be a better politician then Julian)
right so now we know the captain and havers’ names if we have to rename the ship could it please be jantony please
WHERE IS HAVERS!!!!!!!!!!! WHERE IS MY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY COME AS A SET THEY SHOULDN’T BE SEPARATED
