“an exceedingly pleasant and amiable young gentleman but… mentally he is negligible - quite negligible” is the Jeeves and Wooster equivalent of “she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me”

#just thinking #especially because after that #lizzie despises darcy and refuses to humour him #constantly trying to prove that she doesn’t like him and that she’s more than tolerable thank you #meanwhile darcy’s falling in love #that’s exactly what happens to bertie and jeeves #bertie embarks on a quest to prove jeeves wrong #while jeeves becomes more and more fond #until it culminates in TYJ and RHJ #is the bicycle scene in RHJ a parallel to the rainy proposal in P&P?#who’s to say #is that what wodehouse intended me to think? positively not #anyway i did write like the opening two chapters of a p&p version of jeeves and wooster #where jeeves was darcy and bertie elizabeth #obviously madeline was jane and gussie bingley #they fit the roles quite well because jeeves was over here like “i have never met anyone i can call truly accomplished”#and having insane tension with bertie #and at the same time gussie was just like “miss bassett can i show you another newt”#i mean jeeves has a habit of ending engagements if he disapproves #very fitzwilliam darcy of him #jeeves and wooster #bertie wooster #reginald jeeves #pg wodehouse #jooster #sorry long tags #i got too into the pride and prejudice
