#wooster collective

[aceredshirt13]

discussion was had in the jooster discord about how there were various monocle clubs for lesbians at the time in which the stories took place. so allow me to make a story suggestion.

Bertie Wooster purchases a fashionable monocle as a stylistic statement and ends up joining a ripping new club where he makes tons of dear friends and is immensely popular. What he doesn’t know is that it’s a club for sapphics, and they all just think that he’s a cute he/him butch lesbian who tells the funniest stories. He is being flirted with by like 12 girls per night and is completely oblivious to it. They all think it’s the funniest shit ever when they find out he is not in fact a woman and he remains friends with them from then on. He still meets them for drinks at the club now and then, during which at least one new member always has to be let down gently by one of the other ladies that no, he is not a woman. He is just Bertie Wooster.

"If I might make a suggestion, sir?" "Press on, Jeeves." "Would it not be possible for you to go to Totleigh Towers, but to decline to carry out Miss Byng's wishes?" I weighed this. It was, I could see, a thought. "Issue a nolle prosequi, you mean? Tell her to go and boil her head?" "Precisely, sir."

-- Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, chapter 4

Immediately after Bertie explains how he failed to say no to Stiffy:

To my surprise, instead of raising an eyebrow the customary eighth of an inch and saying "Most disturbing, sir," he came within an ace of smiling. That is to say, the left corner of his mouth quivered almost imperceptibly before returning to position one. "You cannot accede to Miss Byng's request, sir." I took an astonished sip of coffee. I couldn't follow his train of thought. It seemed to me that he couldn't have been listening. "But if I don't, she'll squeal to the FBI." "No, sir, for the lady will be forced to admit that it is physically impossible for you to carry out her wishes. The statuette is no longer at large. It has been placed in Sir Watkyn's collection room behind a stout steel door."

-- Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves, chapter 10

Bertie sends Jeeves to tell Stiffy no for him, and then:

He was absent quite a time -- so long, in fact, that I was dressed when he returned. "I saw Miss Byng, sir." "And--?" "She is still insistent that you restore the statuette to Mr. Plank." "She's cuckoo. I can't get into the collection room." "No, sir, but Miss Byng can. She informs me that not long ago Sir Watkyn chanced to drop his key, and she picked it up and omitted to apprise him. Sir Watkyn had another key made, but the original remains in Miss Byng's possession." I clutched the brow. "You mean she can get into the room any time she feels like it?" "Precisely, sir. Indeed, she has just done so." And so saying he fished the eyesore from an inner pocket and handed it to me. "Miss Byng suggests that you take the object to Mr. Plank after luncheon. In her droll way she said the meal -- I quote her words -- would put the necessary stuffing into you and nerve you for the... It is somewhat early, sir, but shall I get you a little brandy?"

of course i know him! Gussie my weird little man

Do You Know This (Non-canon) Autistic Character?

Evidence below the cut!

He is obsessed with newts and known for being socially retiring:

"Absolutely, Jeeves. The craving grew upon him. The newts got him. Arrived at man's estate, he retired to the depths of the country and gave his life up to these dumb chums. I suppose he used to tell himself that he could take them or leave them alone, and then found--too late--that he couldn't."

"It is often the way, sir."

"Too true, Jeeves. At any rate, for the last five years he has been living at this place of his down in Lincolnshire, as confirmed a species-shunning hermit as ever put fresh water in the tank every second day and refused to see a soul."

all of my silly jeeves and wooster sketches, ungracefully collected

[221bees]

I recently posted a World of Wooster print on my art blog and was pretty shocked to get more than three notes on it! Since a few people showed some interest/curiosity about the show I wanted to make a more informational post here as well. This 20-episode series aired on the BBC from 1965-67, but the majority of it has unfortunately been lost/wiped. One episode, The Delayed Exit of Claude and Eustace, exists in full and is available on youtube. The other episode is Jeeves and the Indian Summer of an Uncle, which various sources say is archived, or in a private collection, or that only 7 minutes exist, or that only a few clips exist. The above clip, taken from the 2011 Wogan on Wodehouse documentary, is the only one I've ever seen, but I shall keep on holding out hope that maybe someday someone will release another couple seconds.

I got the first parts now!!

I now have the knowledge that my local liberary hosts P. G Wodehouse's Jeeves books and i don't think i can contain myself much longer. Even with my five unfinished books staring at me, i shall happily march in there very soon and take what i so yearn!

having read nearly all of the Jeeves short stories, it’s so funny to me that Bertie’s bisexuality manifests as casting a wide but shallow net at girls and a narrow but ridiculously deep net at men. He thinks girls are pretty on a reasonably frequent basis, and has tried to marry at least four women thus far (not counting the unwanted engagements), but when it doesn’t work out he’s over it in 24 hours. Meanwhile he shows absolutely no interest in and never gives flattering depictions of 99% of the men in his life, but will praise Jeeves to anyone who will listen, wax poetic about his appearance (and get defensive on his behalf about it when a child insults it), and is absolutely inconsolable when they are separated.

(also Bertie is in no way allosexual. he is canonically terrified at the thought of reproducing. and due to the narrow but deep net on the other end I don’t imagine he’s going around sleeping with loads of men, either. that man’s either demi as hell or just entirely ace)

Bertie Wooster headcanons

Welp, the people voted, and the people shall receive.

• Once set up an entire bulletin board in his bedroom because he wanted to prove to Jeeves he could solve a murder mystery before the detective could in the thriller he was reading.

• Alongside playing the piano, dancing, reading, and all the other “obvious” hobbies he has, Bertie has a very special place in his heart for stamp collecting. He doesn’t even use the stamps, he just sorta looks at them.

• Frequently comes home to the flat drunk off his ass, and while drunk off his ass constantly bothers Jeeves for simple tasks like getting him a glass of water.

• Once told Aunt Agatha he had a girlfriend so she’d stop pestering him to get married. The lie continued for several months until one day Aunt Agatha asked to meet this lovely woman. Thankfully Jeeves stepped in and told her they broke up as an explanation for why Bertie fainted after she asked that.

• Is a heavyweight but the problem is after one shot his competitive instincts force him to have 100 more.

• Accidentally started a cult at The Drones club once. He doesn’t remember how or why it happened and it just sort of faded away after a month.

• Likes to hug Jeeves from behind while he’s cooking or polishing the silverware or even first thing in the morning while he’s brushing his hair.

• Physical touch is his love language. Though he is also particularly fond of Words of Affirmation.

• After Jeeves threw away one suit he didn’t exactly “like”, Bertie (out of spite) bought 30 more copies of the same suit. They now all sit in his closet, never used.

• Has never, and will never, even THINK about firing Jeeves. In fact, he still shudders after the banjo/trombone incident.

• One boat race night, a man at the club dared Bertie to eat an entire rotisserie chicken by himself. Jeeves was called at 3 in the morning that very same night by a stomach-ached Bertie, who was begging to be picked up in between spouts of vomitting.
