I saw a poll going around that said something to the effect of “What other fictional universe should we send Jonathan Harker to?” Well, I want the opposite of that. I want Jeeves and Wooster to deal with Dracula.

#letters regarding jeeves#my pal bertie#dracula daily#jeeves#Tom Gauld#made this for myself because i started getting a bit green eyed over how big the dracula bookclub is#even though i totally understand that the appeal of dracula is naturally much broader#than the appeal of some episodic-ish comedic stories about a rich british aristocrat who talks weird and his hypercompetent servant#and anyway it's very cozy here in the jeeves corner I have to say#it's surprisingly nice to be involved in a fandom active enough to be engaging#but slow enough to be able to keep up with practically everything that's going on#idanit talks#?#i don't have a tag for memes lol

PG Wodehouse and Junji Ito are vying for my most read authors this year.
Thanks to @aceredshirt13 for prompting this silliness :D

Thinking about how Jeeves and Wooster is a wish fulfilment fantasy in both directions.
Imagine if there was a fantastically intelligent person in your life who solved all your problems, including the ones you didn't know you had, and even ensured you were always fabulously dressed.
Or imagine if through what seemed like a small amount of effort to you, could make everything in the life of someone you cared about run smoothly, and you were getting paid a lot to do it.
And also you were in love.

If Bertie Wooster has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Bertie Wooster has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Bertie Wooster has only one fan then assume Jeeves murdered me as a last ditch effort to stop my unshakeable engagement to Bertram W. Wooster.
#jeeves and wooster#yes I would be a fiancée#can you honestly blame me#I could lead my best ace aro life#Jeeves if you had just asked before murdering me#I would have told you that I encourage your homosexual relationship#I just want silly and delightful company#Bertie Wooster#Jeeves#letters regarding jeeves#Jooster#mine

A fun fact about "Bertie Changes His Mind" is that Bertie's preferred method of daughter acquisition (viz., adoption) is one he shared with Wodehouse, at least partially. Wodehouse clearly didn't mind the "marriage" part of the process, but he never had biological children and seemingly had no interest in doing so (everything we know about him points to him being very asexual):
Another fun fact is that he enlisted the help of his daughter Leonora on this particular story for the scenes in the girls' school:
The "intimidating headmistress" archetype was also pulled from Wodehouse's real life, and this will not be the last time we see her in the Jeeves stories:
(first and last excerpts are from P.G. Wodehouse: man and myth by Barry Phelps. The letter to Leonora is from Yours, Plum, edited by Frances Donaldson.)
#all wodehouse's letters to leonora are incredibly precious btw#he absolutely doted on her#real contender for the “number 1 dad” title#and since bertie clearly has some author self-insert qualities i like to think he would've been a good dad too#or at least a great fun uncle#letters regarding jeeves#jeeves and wooster#jeeves books#carry on jeeves#bertie changes his mind

When Bertie Wooster tells his Aunt Agatha that his calendar is booked solid and he's going to be busy for days and days, weeks even, these are, in fact, his immediate plans:
[Alt ID: a dog pressing its face repeatedly into a squishy balloon for half a minute in the floppiest way possible, followed by shots of holding the balloon by its tie in various places around the house as a favorite toy. The dog looks very happy but very dumb. A very good dog, sir.]

I’m poking at the idea of doing a Jeeves and Wooster fic and I know that getting Bertie’s voice right would be challenging. So at 3am when I couldn’t sleep I was going through one of the recent stories from the substack and copying down words and phrases he uses that could be inspirational. And then I fell asleep.
And that is why when I woke up this morning and opened my phone, I was greeted by a screen that said
Topping.
#I don’t think that will go in the fic#and also there is very unlikely to actually be fic#I don’t actually have a workable plot#jeeves and wooster#letters regarding jeeves

Enjoy receiving emails from besotted biographers about their genius associates?
Then have I got some email bookclubs starting in 2024 for you!
[IMG A cartoon of Holmes and Watson running side by side, dressed in country tweeds. Holmes is pointing. Lettering reads Letters from Watson, the Novels]
Letters from Watson is reading through the Sherlock Holmes short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle throughout 2023.
In 2024 we'll be reading the novels starting January 1st, with A Study in Scarlet. Hold on for more mystery and adventure with the Great Detective and his dashing doctor.
[IMG A cartoon of Raffles and Bunny running side by side, dressed in formal suits and top hats and wearing masks. Raffles is clutching some pearls and has jewels in his pockets. Lettering reads Letters from Bunny]
But perhaps you'd rather take a little trip to the other side of the law?
Letters from Bunny will be reading the Raffles stories by EW Hornung, featuring gentleman thief (and cricketer) AJ Raffles and his burglar companion Bunny Manders, from the Ides of March (March 15th)
[IMG A cartoon of Jeeves and Wooster walking side by side, Wooster dressed in colourful clothes and a boater, Jeeves in a monocrome suit. Lettering reads 'Letters Regarding Jeeves']
For something a little lighter, Letters Regarding Jeeves will be reading the uproarously funny public domain stories featuring chap about town Bertie Wooster and his bulging-brained valet Jeeves, starting February 14th.
Reblogs appreciated to spread the word!

URGENT MESSAGE: I'm on my knees begging you guys to SIGN UP FOR WHAT MANNER OF MAN before it starts on friday!!! 🙇🙇🙇
look me in the eyes! I'm grasping you urgently by the lapels! it's like if Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde were taking notes from my ao3 bookmarks. it has all the authentically victorian vibes I've never found in queer historical fiction and all the hot gay sex they couldn't put in the real stuff. I wish I could eat it!!
IT HAS:
erotic vampirism
hot priest
catholic guilt
celtic paganism-flavored fantasy vibes
CATHOLIC GUILT
lesbian swashbuckling
did I mention the guilt????
please!! you have to help me! I have a fatal disease and the only cure is more people talking about WHAT MANNER OF MAN ⬇️⬇️⬇️
