i agree with everything you’ve said about louis’ career! his fans really should really start listening to what he says fr. i’ve seen some people bring up the fact that louis said in a recent he would like if fitf was “commercially successful” but i’d love for people to understand that commercial success doesn’t necessarily mean breaking streaming records and staying 234 weeks as no1. louis is very successful and he’ll probably only continue to grow as an artist but maybe “growth” doesn’t means/look the same to you (frustrated fans) as it does do him. he’s doing fine! great, even! he’s clearly happy and satisfied with where’s he at in his career atm so why shouldn’t we be as well? also, since you’ve mentioned harry, i think this equation gets even trickier and more nuanced when you add larry to the mix bc, if you believe they’re together, you have to acknowledge that there’s absolutely no way they could maintain a complicated closeted relationship between two harry-styles-sized artists. so louis not wanting to be as “mainstream” as harry is a positive thing when it comes to that imo!
Yeah, I think Louis said it best when he said he wants to just keep touring, the rest doesn't really matter, and I'll just project my reasons: for one, instant gratification, and for two, hella cash money, like, the MOST cash money, especially in the streaming age. He's the no. 1 decider of what he wants to do with his own life, plus he has a shit ton of money and a lot more inside information into what he actually wants and the actual resources he has at his disposal. Why would anyone else fucking worry about any of that lmao

Ghosts’ Larry Rickard Explains Why They Chose the Captain’s First Name
Tumblr media

It couldn’t be a joke. That was one rule laid down by the Ghosts creators when it came to choosing a first name for Willbond’s character. Until series five, the WWII ghost had been known only as The Captain – a mystery seized upon by fans of the show.
“It was the question we got asked more than anything. His name,” actor and writer Larry Rickard tells Den of Geek. “Once we got to series three, you could see that we were deliberately cutting away and deliberately avoiding it. We were fuelling the fire because we knew at some point we’d tell them.”
In “Carpe Diem”, the episode written by Rickard and Ben Willbond that finally reveals The Captain’s death story, they did tell us. After years of guessing, clue-spotting and debate, Ghosts revealed that The Captain’s first name is James. At the same time, we also learned that James’ colleague Lieutenant Havers’ first name was Anthony.
The ordinariness of those two names, says Rickard, is the point.
“The only thing we were really clear about is that we didn’t want one of those names that only exists in tellyland. It shouldn’t be ‘Cormoran’ or ‘Endeavour’. They should just be some men’s names and they’re important to them. The point was that they were everyday.”
Choosing first names for The Captain and Havers was a long process not unlike naming a baby, Rickard agrees. “It almost comes down to looking at the faces of the characters and saying, what’s right?”
“We talked for ages. For a long time I kept thinking ‘Duncan and James’, and then I was like ah no! That would have turned it into a gag and been awful!” Inescapably in the minds of a certain generation, Duncan James is a member of noughties boyband Blue. “Maybe with Anthony I was thinking of Anthony Costa!” Rickard says in mock horror, referencing another member of the band.
Lieutenant Havers wasn’t just The Captain’s second in command while stationed at Button House; he was also the man James loved. Because homosexuality was criminalised in England during James’ lifetime, he was forced to hide his feelings for Anthony from society, and to some extent even from himself.
In “Carpe Diem”, the ghosts (mistakenly) prepare for the last day of their afterlives, prompting The Captain to finally tell his story. Though not explicit about his sexual identity, the others understand and accept what he tells them – and led by Lady Button, all agree that he’s a brave man.
Getting the balance right of what The Captain does and doesn’t say was key to the episode. “It wasn’t just a personal choice of his to go ‘I’m going to remain in the closet’,” explains Rickard. “There wasn’t an option there to explore the things that either of them felt. That couldn’t be done back then – there are so many stories which have come out since the War about the dangers of doing that.
“We wanted to tell his personal story but also try to ensure that there was a level at which you understood why they couldn’t be open, that even in this moment where he’s finally telling the other ghosts his story, he never comes out and says it overtly because that would be too much for him as a character from that time.
“He says enough for them to know, and enough for him to feel unburdened but it’s in the fact that they’re using their first names which militarily they would never have done, and in the literal passing of the baton”.
The baton is a bonus reveal when fans learned that The Captain’s military stick wasn’t a memento of his career, but of Havers. As James suffers a fatal heart attack during a VE day celebration at Button House, Anthony rushes to his side and the stick passes from one to the other as they share a moment of tragic understanding.
“From really early on, we had the idea that anything you’re holding [when you die] stays with you. So it wasn’t just your clothes you were wearing, we had the stuff with Thomas’ letter reappearing in his pocket and so on. And the assumption being that it was something The Captain couldn’t put down, it felt so nice to be able to say it was something he didn’t want to put down.”
Rickard lists “Carpe Diem”, co-written with Ben Willbond, among his series five highlights. He’s pleased with the end result, praises Willbond’s performance, and loved being on set to see Button House dressed for the 1940s. He’s particularly pleased that a checklist of moments they wanted to land with the audience all managed to be included. “Normally something’s fallen by the wayside just because of the way TV’s made, it’s always imperfect or it’s slightly rushed, but it feels like it’s all there.”
Rickard and Willbond also knew by this point in the show’s lifetime, that they could trust Ghosts fans to pick up on small details. “Nothing is missed,” he says. “Early on, you’re always thinking, is that going to get across? But once we got to series five, there are little tiny things within corners of shots and you know that’s going to be spotted. Particularly in that very short exchange between Havers and the Captain. We worried less about the minutiae of it because you go, that’s going to be rewound and rewatched, nothing will be missed.”
The team were also grateful they’d resisted the temptation to tell The Captain’s story sooner. “We’d talked about it every series since series two, whether or not now was the time, but because he’s such a hard and starchy character in a lot of ways you needed the time to understand his softer side I think before you had that final honest beat from him.”
“What a ridiculously normal name to have so much weight put on it for five years,” laughs Rickard fondly. “Good old James.”

this is such a minor detail but i love how marian always has the last piece of the puzzle that the russels need to make their plans work. in season 1 she tells george about his secretary's real name which saves his ass in court. in season 2 she tells larry that mr. mcallister is the one who bought off the duke which helps bertha strike back and secure him. paired with the fact that she was one of the few people who was supportive of them from the start i just feel like she already fits into their family so well <3

[Image Description: an 11-panel comic page on paper in which Laurice Deauxnim/Larry Butz and Maya Fey from Ace Attorney sit side-by-side. Laurice has tight posture and an uncomfortable look on his face, while Maya is looking around in an uninterested manner; a large textbox labeled "Waiting for Nick" points at the two of them. Laurice looks over at Maya with a sidelong glance, grimacing. Laurice turns away, asking: "...Do you hate me?" Maya bursts out: "WHAT? Why would I hate you?!" ["What" is in all caps to indicate volume.] Laurice flinches away from the outburst. Laurice begins to explain, saying: "Elise", but cutting himself off and shaking his head, starting again with a downcast expression: "Your mom was my mentor." ["Your mom" is underlined to indicate emphasis.] Maya leans forward on her hands and tilts her head in confusion. Laurice continues, waving his hand in the air: "Like, she taught me how to be a better person, to— to grow up, y'know?" Laurice looks back at Maya, his palm toward her, with tears in his eyes, and says: "But you... She was your mom, and you never got that." ["mom" is underlined to indicate emphasis.] Maya looks at Laurice with concern, as he says: "I wouldn't blame you, if you hated me." End Image Description]
I think they should be allowed a Real Conversation, actually

heyyyyyy, I was wondering if you still do sally face, if so can you do, can you please do being Larry’s gf hc ( if not it’s all good)
-👻
Being Larry Johnson’s Girlfriend Would Include…
Pairing: Larry Johnson x Fem! Reader.
Warnings: None. Pure fluff.
Summary: What it would be like being Larry Johnson’s girlfriend.
Writing Time: 30 minutes (I’m confused by this since it’s short af).
Word Count: (stitched shrugs).
Format: Headcannons.
A/N:
Yes! I absolutely do still write for Sally Face. Send in the Sally Face requests! This could be read as a GN or even male reader. Also sorry but I don’t like Ashley. And this is not proofread.
I am a smut writer and Larry is an adult by the latest Sally Face instalments… so in nearly all cases I’d make this smut. But something told me not to here. Maybe it was the vibes I was getting from this request or I’m just tired af.

• Being Larry’s girlfriend would definitely be a treat.
• He’d take the upmost care of you.
• His girlfriend and his friends definitely mean the most to Larry.
• As Larry’s girlfriend, you’re entitled to be spoiled.
• With kisses, gifts and amazing dates.
• The gifts would 99% be Dino nuggets and dates will be mostly at the arcade but it’s still the thought that counts.
• If he gets the money together, he’ll definitely go bigger with a beautiful necklace and a fancy restaurant as a date.
• That would come later on in the relationship though, Sally and Ashley wouldn’t let Larry burn his money on a new girlfriend, sorry.
• Speaking of Sal and Ash, they love you.
• I mean they have to.
• Sal is happy to share gaming night with Larry with you and eating Dino nuggets together, just as long as he gets his weekly boys night.
• You’d have no issue with leaving the boys alone for boy’s night, BUT Larry would now.
• He doesn’t want to leave his girl behind and besides Sal and you get along so why can’t you come?
• You have to push him out the door to go. You didn’t want Sal’s feelings to be hurt nor do you want to be blamed for Larry missing boys night.
• I have nothing on your relationship with Ash (cause I can’t stand her) but y’all get on for the sake of Larry.
• Lisa adores you too.
• Definitely always begging her idiot son not to mess things up with you.
• She’s desperate for you two to get married so she can legally call you her daughter.
• Lucky you, you’ve made the Johnson family fall in love with you as well as Sal and Ashley.
