As promised, I went to Rik's Bench yesterday, and I left the book of messages there for you all <3
Thanks to @morby for the Cosmopolitan suggestion! I also left a bunch of Dangerous Brothers Purple tulips, and sat there feeling rather emotional for about 10 minutes. Thanks to my best friend night.light.soul on instagram for taking the photos <3
It was so lovely seeing the other things that were left there - a copy of the Daily Star on Sunday, a packet of Chocolate Hobnobs, and a few other bunches of flowers when I got there at around 1pm.
Equality, Opportunity, Wisdom, Freedom, Love
Rest in Peace, Rik <3

It's Prompt Selection Time!
I've added everything that was submitted to the first form, though when two prompts were similar I've amalgamated them into one. Please share this around, scumbags! We'll need a lot more people to answer this one to get any kind of coherent results (and if we don't... we'll cross that bridge later 😂).
This form is anonymous too, so have no fear. Now: vote!

Rik and Ade Fest 2024
And now for a fourth year running: it's the Rik and Ade Fest! We've been trying to get your attention for the past 10 weeks, so hopefully you're listening! Give this blog a follow NOW to stay up to date as this year's fest progresses. Right on!
As usual, you can submit up to 3 prompts for fanart and/or fanfic for any piece of media featuring Rik and/or Ade. Also, as usual, you don't need to commit to making art or fic later to submit a prompt. We need more prompts than participants!
PLEASE READ THIS BIT! 🚨
Unusually, there's an extra rule in place for prompts this year. We're asking you to please not send in any prompts for The Young Ones or Bottom - just for this year! Next year, you can go mad!
Why are we asking this of you? Is it just that we're bastards? Well, we've noticed an (unsurprising) bias towards these two shows throughout fests, so we're trying to give Rik and Ade's lesser known/popular media a chance.
If you do accidentally submit a TYO or Bottom prompt this year, never fear! We won't be adding it to the prompt list this time, but we will hold on to it and add it next year. As well as this, all the previous unclaimed prompts for TYO and Bottom will still be available for artists and writers to claim and make work for this year.
But anyway, here's the ol' reliable Google Form for submissions. It will be open from today (23rd March) until 1st April.
If you're new to the Rik and Ade Fest or just want a refresher, the guidelines are available on the #RikAndAdeFest2024 ao3 collection:
Happy submitting, scumbags! You can contact @xgardensinspace or @neil-neil-orange-peel if you have any questions.
We are aware our fanart books currently have broken links. This is a recent occurrence. Ao3 cannot host pictures, so all fests' art is hosted elsewhere. We're looking for a new host site and may have to contact certain past artists for their art again once one is found. We intend to have this issue fixed before this year's fest is revealed in June. We apologise if this discourages artists from participating, though we would always encourage you to share your art on Tumblr, Instagram, or elsewhere too once a fest is revealed, in any case.

so it looks like i'm going to be able to go to Rik's bench on 9th June, and i've been thinking for a while about getting something to put there, since of course it'll be the 10 year anniversary of him passing away. i don't know if anyone has any ideas? i've been playing with the idea of maybe getting a card or something and writing the names/usernames of anyone here who'd like to be included (i'd probably open a google form for it)
basically, hit me with any ideas at all! one idea is make a collage/booklet and fill it with fanart (obviously only at the artist's request) and messages.
additionally, if anyone has any art or anything they'd like printed individually and left at the bench, i'd be happy to do so if you're willing to cover the cost of printing etc!

okay but if tyo and bad news were set in the same universe Rick would definitely have a crush on Vim

the chemistry between sally and vim in bad news - so black cat (sally) and golden retriever (vim) coded btw - is so strong that it has me creating headcanons between two characters who's interaction runtime is probably like 15 minutes or less
vim is preoccupied with fame/heavy metal and is a genuine fan of the music scene in bad news tour so i think he was already familiar with sally/her work before they met, like read her interviews or something
so there's that cut in bad news tour where den starts saying "i was sitting over there..." in the last shot so they all have to rearrange. vim had moved seats to sit next to sally and was inwardly pissed that den made him move back
vim's type is definitely someone who's smarter than him even if he doesn't understand what theyre saying, he definitely wasn't into the enthusiastic-without-substance wannabe groupie type. and sally is EXACTLY his type like she always asked questions he didnt even understand and he was into it. she's also the only one who'll listen to him go off about nothing ("we're more than heavy metal" and she was nodding her head while everyone was disagreeing but inside even she was going this man doesnt actually know what he's talking about /affectionate)
vim got into the spiritual/supernatural weird talking to dead people stuff in more bad news because sally kind of had a gothy aesthetic in bad news tour. that's why he was so excited to tell her. he also thought that having connections to famous muscians (in the afterlife) would impress her, bc she met way more famous musicians than him as an interviewer
in my head sally is genuinely successful as a heavy metal journalist so why agree to go back to interview and spend days with an absolutely trash band no one really cares about in more bad news? subconsciously it was partly to see vim again
during the word association game in more bad news the only band member she uses as a word is vim… she's Thinking of him
i think after she and vim reunited in more bad news they started being friends with benefits while the documentary was filming lmao (i think he still had some maturing to do before they got together for real, but we know they do end up married ofc)
so to me colin's parents (or connections from his parents) must've bailed colin (and den and spider) out in more bad news when they're arrested but colin was probably so pissed at vim he was calling his mummy to tell her to sue vim's ass not bail him out. two possibilities i'm entertaining: either sally bailed vim out (again, she's a successful journalist so she has some funds) or she talked to colin/colin's mummy/the police or something to help get vim out (she's obviously a good speaker and could convince them to ease up)
sally is an intelligent feminist and a good journalist which is why she grilled vim on warriors of genghis khan but she was also slightly... i don't wanna exactly say jealous, maybe like disappointed... that there was some random hot blonde to stand over vim in the music video/for the guys including vim to ogle at, which also motivated her to humble him in that moment
not really a hc but he's trying so hard to impress her with imogen/his "studio" in more bad news its adorable he's so dumb
vim definitely thought his record collection (despite being thrown around haphazardly) was gonna impress her when she came over in more bad news
#he's just soo obviously trying to impress her whenever shes on screen and his dumbass bandmates are doing something embarrassing#im weak for 'character who cant control or show emotions being accidentally soft for their unspoken crush'#and also the female character being super cool while she has some loser ass boyfriend who's just some guy LMAO#he's a tiny bit wifeguy coded#i do think colin/vim is cute too but theyre not endgame to me#bad news#bad news band#vim fuego#the comic strip presents#ade edmondson#jennifer saunders#britcom#nina.rambles

Hello hello! Happy TYO Easter c: Lookie here, I made a post xD
This piece is for the @rikandadefest 2024 :) @neil-neil-orange-peel 's prompt of "Vim Fuego playing Mary Hopkin numbers in a wine bar, unsatisfied with life but still stubbornly (and, some could say, in delusional fashion) convinced he's going to make it big in the music world." was just too good to pass up.
I still want someone to create a fic for this prompt though, because it is hilariously immaculate.
Anyways, I hope you guys like this little drawing of Vim :) Of course I was going to make him sing Mary Hopkins' number one hit xD It's too good! And the idea of Vim singing it (probably more upbeat and screaming into the mic) is CHEF'S KISS!
