You know what one of my favourite things is about fanfic? It can transform any piece of media into a completely different genre. You can get an 100k introspective exploration of depression and self-loathing that's based on one character from a sitcom. You can get a cute 'beach episode' oneshot that uses the characters from a dark horror film. You can get found family from a romance, romance from a found family, all sorts of wonderful variations of one story. And I think it just shows how incredible humanity is, that we all look at one book, one episode, one film and interpret and create things from them in completely different ways. And this has become a ramble now but don't you just love humanity sometimes

Bryony Corrigan as Vanessa Wilcock-Wynn-Carroway as Queen Isobel in:

The Most Lamentable Tragedy of the Prince of England and His Long Lost Twin Brother, Prince Regent of France and the Problems Therein Experienced by All When they came to Know of One Another after a Battle (by Simon Shakespeare, cousin to the famous Colin Shakespeare)

6,129 stitches, 43 colours, and 50 hours, 39 minutes, 46 seconds (I tracked it)

The stitching is done!! I still need to iron it and finish it (I might frame it - I’d prefer to hoop it but it’s nearly 9” tall so I’d need to find a big enough hoop for that)

Someone, anyone, PLEASE talk to me about Mischief Theatre/the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society because I’ve seen Peter Pan Goes Wrong live, I’ve seen The Play That Goes Wrong TWICE, I’ve seen Mind Mangler and Good Luck Studios and I’ve watched every episode of The Goes Wrong Show at least three times, god knows how many times I’ve watched the recordings of Peter Pan Goes Wrong and A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong. I know all the lore and loads of quotes, I’ve even watched most of the Goes Wrong Alongs and the shorter pieces they made like the Children in Need social distancing piece, I just need to TALK ABOUT IT because I’ve run out of people to watch the show with at this point 😭

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

I need more people to see Peter Pan Goes wrong because the way the crocodile says 'Snap Snap Snaaap' has rewired my brain

I am incapable of hearing someone making a snap decision without going

🐊 Snap 🐊

And that is not always internal

A Goes Wrong Show Poll!

Recently, I showed both my parents and my best friend many/all of the Goes Wrong Show episodes (plus Christmas Carol and Peter Pan), and they all had sort of different responses to what they enjoyed about the show.

So, I decided I’d come to Tumblr and ask fandom opinion on why (if at all) you enjoy the show, and what generation you’re from!

Since amounts of options are limited and you can only put in one poll per post, if you could indicate which option you picked and what generation you’re from, that would be greatly appreciated!! I’m really just curious about what type of comedy hits with people.

Forgive me for the format of the poll, it’s prolly the most clunky way of doing it, but I really wasn’t sure how else to do it.

Everything I remember from mischief movie night last night!!

Last night (13/8/24) was 'In-Tents Love' a rom-com set in a summer camp for troubled youths featuring a Parisian anime scene. Because.. of course.

Henry Lewis Oscar!! Bro was having so much fun with this, he was just grinning at his castmates the whole time

Cast was Shields, Josh, Niall, Bryony, Susan and Ellie!

Started with someone suggesting Hull as a location which got a round of applause and Henry Lewis to say 'we never should have written that fucking line'

Whole cast were very scared by the anime suggestion

The movie started with a song which started with Niall singing 'IM TROUBLED' and everyone sung about what they'd done to end up here and that there's gonna be troubleeee for me! And troubleeee for you!

Shout out to the late comers in the front row who got pointed at and told there would be trouble for them

Niall (Bobby) hugs things so hard they die

Bryony (Mary Sue) sets stuff on fire and lives alone in a tent

Josh (Tommy) I actually don't remember

Susan (Sue?? Was referred mostly to as mystery girl) seemed to be there for no reason

And Ellie (token Penelope) stole 1000 bees

Shields (Richard) was in charge of the camp

After the song Bobby and Tommy had a conversation and it was implied that they would be the love interests until it was revealed that Bobby killed Tommy's dog by hugging it too hard, still were potential love interests until Bobby said 'how's dad?' And Oscar had to call a pause and yell 'THEYRE BROTHERS'

The other characters are getting to know each other by the river, Mary Sue sets a fire and Mystery girl (who maybe had a name by now idk) doesn't know what it is and kept touching it (fire admirably played by Niall and the blue cloth)

Its revealed that Penelope has a crush on Tommy! The others tell her she needs to go for it. She decides she's gonna give him a dead bee.

It is revealed in this scene that mystery girl is here for a reason and its actually because she has loads of underage sex

Cue Josh joined quickly by Shields and Niall chanting 'sex~' while doing a camp little dance

Cut to a directors (Josh) interview where he was asked why he decided to have 3 grown men chanting sex in the back of this scene and he said he went to an all boys boarding school and that's just what they did there. He was promptly arrested.

The girls sing a song about the birds and the bees which turned into a sing along chorus where we all had to go 'what about beeees? What about beeees? What about bees? And Birds!'

Bobby and Tommy are about to have a breakthrough and say they love eachother when Penelope goes along and interrupts the brotherly bonding by giving Tommy a dead bee on a piece of string as a ring. He is disgusted and then into it and they go on a date.

Bobby is heartbroken bc he has a crush on Penelope and Richard gives him some advice - you miss all the shots you don't take. During this they were playing basketball and Richard was very good and didn't let anyone else have a turn. When Bobby did have a turn he missed.

It turns out Richard read Bobby's diary to learn about his crush and the Parisian anime scene is him trying to find it - cue Shields doing dramatic moves and a strong French accent trying to find 'La Diary!!!' When he found it, it granted him 'POWER'

The bee was apparently 'Einstein's bee' and when asked to explain, the director said he sneezed on the keyboard and kept it in, he was then asked where the bodies were.

The next scene started with Tommy doing an odd ballet dance which Oscar promptly paused

Tommy and Penelope were on their date on a boat, during the set up for this scene Bryony whacked Ellie in the head with a walking stick (oops)

Penelope only knows how to row in circles

The two talk and Penelope is too eager, telling Tommy she loves him, he doesn't like this and jumps off the boat and swims away. Penelope gets stuck going in circles.

Cut to Bobby and Mary Sue having a nice chat, they decide to be friends and sing a song about how amazing it is to be friends! This is interrupted by Tommy who asks Mary Sue on a date and Bobby is broken hearted a second time

Neither Josh nor Susan remembered Mary Sue's name and tried several ways to get around it, interrupted by Oscar, until they ended up saying she had 'Marie energy'

Mary Sue and Tommy go on a fishing date where Mary Sue throws rocks into the river to kill the fish. Tommy says how much he likes her and She doesn't like it and runs away.

Penelope is distraught and goes to Richard for advice, she's upset that everyone is pairing off and she doesn't have anyone. There's an interlude where Richard is met by Lord Gerald who runs all of the summer camps and wanted to check up on him. It seems there may be something there until the police arrive questioning Richard's intentions - Oscar interrupts this so it doesn't descend into madness and the scene continues with Gerald repeating Richard's name several times, as up until this point he didn't have one.

When Gerald leaves, Penelope is upset because Richard was supposed to be giving her advice! He gives her the same advice as he gave Bobby and its a sweet scene until she eats the bee and spits it back out. She takes a shot with the basketball and also misses.

The girls meet up by the river again and agree that boys are bad. The mystery girl introduces the concept of lesbianism and Mary Sue has a bit of a realisation - this looks like it might turn into another song until Bobby interrupts to say Tommy is hanging off the balcony

Tommy is upset and claims the balcony is his safe space - everyone agrees this is not a very safe space actually.

They try to calm him down and Bobby eventually tells Tommy he loves him, they get Tommy down and they have a hug, which doesn't kill anything this time.

Its revealed that Richard has actually been reading everyone's diaries and was trying to get them all to have sex the whole time. He learns about the concept of familial love and decides to turn himself in

The kids decide they aren't gonna go back to their horrible home lives and that they're just gonna stay at camp actually, they learn they can choose their own family and its very sweet

It ends with a song about the birds and the bees again, which goes 'the birds and the bees, the bees and the bees! What ever you please at summer camp!'

i.e. Which actual story appeals the most? Which play would be most entertaining played completely sincerely and staged where nothing goes wrong? lil option choice explanation under the cut

I didn't include The Nativity because that's not like an original story that the writers came up with, and went with the closest to a full-length play from the drama festival (although personally I'd love to see the second act of Max's kitchen sink drama)

[ollysobsessions]
