Please could you do a scene/extract from Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance of Being Earnest'?

My interpretation of Algernon from The Importance of Being Earnest, hands down my favorite character in the whole play. (I can't decide on their gender, but neither can they lol)

So I’m playing Algernon Moncrieff in a production of ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ and I gotta say…

They give off similar energy

I’ll preface this by saying that I hope and pray that this post reaches its extremely niche target audience (people that like Oscar Wilde, Good Omens, and paranormal/dark history Quite A Bit), as it’ll not be nearly as fun to people that don’t enjoy all three. That said,

I was going through the Wikipedia page for Eccles Cakes, because my brain had gotten stuck on the line and I’d been repeating “Eccles Cake?” to myself all day. Anyways, the point is, I’d gotten to the part about similar cakes they periodically get mixed up with when I spotted THIS:

This, in and of itself, is unremarkable. However, me being an Oscar Wilde fan first and reasonable second, I noticed a striking resemblance to the name for the ailing fictional character invented by Algernon Moncrieff in The Importance of Being Earnest (who conveniently suffers bouts of exceptionally bad health whenever Algy’s relations invite him to something dull.)

While this may seem like a stretch to the untrained eye, it is a well documented historical fact that Jack Worthing, the play’s protagonist, is named for the seaside town in the south of England where Oscar Wilde wrote the play. As such, it is not an unnatural conclusion that he would do something similar with Bunbury’s name.

So, naturally, I went to the Wikipedia page for the Importance of Being Earnest. While I did not find anything in the page’s primary text, I did find this in the notes:

According to a Wikipedia note, I’d been corroborated by noted spiritualist and occult researcher Aleister Crowley (who, as an aside, Neil Gaiman has confirmed on tumblr that Our Crowley is named after, along with the town of Crawley). It is well documented that Aleister (as this is tumblr, and referring to him by his surname would inevitably lead to confusion) knew Wilde, which would hypothetically give him authority on the matter. Now, as much as I’d love to say that I’m the type of person to see that their theory has been corroborated and be happy and done with it, the American school system has done nothing if not engender an inherent distrust of Wikipedia in me. As such, I did some digging around the internet, and what I wound up finding was that every single site making this claim traced its evidence back to this book:

The book is $50. The author, Timothy D’Arch Smith, has a bio describing him as a “bibliographer, antiquarian bookseller (author’s note: oh my god he’s an antiquarian bookseller), and author, whose wit and scholarly predilections – Montague Summers (see Bibliographies), Aleister Crowley, rock 'n' roll, and cricket (see Games and Sports) – inform his contribution to the genre.” My question is,

Regardless, I think it’s really fun how all of my silly little interests intersected here and I needed to yell about it

THE Man

[mourningskvader]

Kudos to Cecily Cardew, but I like the name of Algernon Moncrieff far more than any Earnest.

If I am occasionally a little over-dressed, I make up for it by being always immensely over-educated.

OOC Post: Who Should I RP Next?

Hey, lovelies! 💕

I've been thinking about expanding my roster of RP accounts (because clearly, I need more chaos in my life, right?). I already have accounts for the 15th Doctor (as well as an AU version) and Eric Effiong, but I’ve been toying with the idea of making an RP account for another one of Ncuti’s brilliant characters.

So, I need your help! Which of these characters should I dive into next?

Option 1: Artist Ken (Barbie) Let’s face it -- he stole the show. A deeply artistic, paint-smeared Ken? Yes, please. The angst, the passion, the existential crises! Imagine all the collabs with other Barbie characters, plus the crossover potential with just about anyone (because, let’s be real, Ken would vibe with everyone).

Option 2: Algernon Moncrieff (The Importance of Being Earnest) I mean after the trailer for the play has come out... it's the drama. The wit. The absolute chaos that comes with being Algernon. I’d have so much fun with all the sassy banter and extravagant tea parties. And just imagine him interacting with other historical or literary RP blogs -- chef’s kiss. 😚🤌🏾 (oh, and of course it won't be accurate yet, not until I actually seen the play lol)

Option 3: Another Ncuti Character Maybe you have a favourite I haven’t considered yet? Let me know! Whether it’s a smaller role or something more well-known, I’d love your suggestions. Bonus points if it’s someone who’s a little out there because I love a challenge.

So get your votes in, guys! And if you’ve got any crossover ideas, feel free to drop those in the comments too. 💫

Let the chaos begin! 💃
