The Young Ones - S1E4- "Bomb" 

#the young ones #bomb #television licence inspector #Right Bleeding Bastard #Mike the Cool Person #Neil Pye #Vyvyan Basterd #Rick Pratt

[a-a-a-anon]

my headcanon is that, while they're all generally broke students, mike has connections for money while rick and neil are supported by their parents just enough to get by (on lentils and half apples and cornflakes, but still.) but of course vyvyan doesn't even have that. and so he ostentatiously swipes food, eating all of neil's and rick's no matter how obviously it's labelled. and he has to do it in the most outwardly selfish, "i don't care i'm just trying to piss you off" way so that they yell at him about how much of a bastard he is and they don't notice how none of the food labelled in the fridge is his because he can't afford any, the same way they don't notice how he's the only one without a coat, etc etc.

#im reading way wayyyy too much into these dumbass characters #vyvyan basterd #the young ones #nina.rambles #britcom #also thats why he was drawn to punk in my head... diy and tattered clothes but make it fashionable and cool so no one can question him

My first proper attempt at writing a genuine fanfic instead of the joke fics I've written in the past. Idk what the title is and I'm definitely not that great of a writer so there might be typos or grammar mistakes so ermmmmm go easy on me.

It's Vyvyan x Neil. There's only one fic of these two and I gotta stick up for the less popular ships bc that's just how I am.

________________________________

Yelling, violence, and filth. An average day in the life of The Young Ones. Mike sat at the kitchen table, casually reading the daily newspaper. Vyvyan and Rick bickered about some bullocks next to the telly. And then there was poor ol' Neil. Neil, Neil, orange peel, standing there sulking and making the tea, since he practically did everything around here. All of the cleaning and all of the cooking. He was practically a 1950s house wife!

Vyvyan and Rick's banter turned violent, per usual, as the spikey haired ginger began throwing punches. He then grabbed the nearest object to whack the spotty bastard with. His weapon of choice just so happened to be Neil's rustic acoustic guitar. Before Neil was threatened to make the god-awful lentil tea they consumed every day, he was sat by the couch, playing a crappy tune. The sound of Vyvyan bashing Rick's head in with the already busted up guitar filled the room. Damn thing can barely play a note as it was poorly put back together with cheap ducktape, done by Neil himself in a futile effort to repair it. The guitar practically crumpled in his arms everytime he played a note. It's not like he'd be able to get new one anyways. None of them could even afford to use clean water. Hope you're happy, Thatcher!

The gloomy hippie turned his head at the sight, wearing his trademark frown. "Awh man, that's really heavy, Vyv. I've been, like, making a concept album for about two months now, and I was finally coming around to one of the songs. Not like any of you care, since you all hate me so much-" He was cut off with a shared "SHUT UP, NEIL!" From both the punk and the poet. Mike just nodded, agreeing with the statement as he continued to read his paper, wearing his sunglasses indoors. Neil sighed heavily as he began pouring the lentil nightmare that they considered "tea". He'd have to tape up his guitar some more, if there's even any tape left, that is.

Neil served them the lentil slop before getting assaulted with whatever item Vyvyan chose to use, then he sulked up the stairs to his bedroom, dragging the broken guitar behind him. As Vyvyan saw him do so, a peculiar thought came to to his mind, "I could fix that easily." It's true, he could, but he didn't want to be nice, especially to Neil of all people! On the other hand, Vyvyan was extremely bored. Even the violence was getting somewhat tedious. Not like he'd stop anytime soon, but Vyvyan hasn't partook in any of his actual hobbies in a long while. Like combining random chemicals to make some sort of "medical breakthrough", only for it to end up being explosive. Or tinkering his beloved car. Hell, Vyvyan even played guitar as well, he just wasn't able to play since he broke his beyond repair. In comparison, Neil's guitar would be a breeze.

Vyvyan decided that he was going to snag that guitar from Neil real quick and get working at it in the toolshed... Not like that, you pervy! He was definitely not doing it to be nice to Neil. Of course not! It's not like he held some sort of miniscule soft spot for him. He also didn't deep-down admire how much Neil did for them all, even if he moped about it constantly. Vyvyan ESPECIALLY did not like how Neil looked in that dress that apparently belonged to Rick. Nope, that image definitely didn't come to mind every once in a while when he's having a good wa- *BANG!*

Loud construction noises came from the dinghy tool shed Vyvyan put up months ago. Okay, he wasn't the best handy man. Bugger off, he's doing his best!

"Vyayan." Rick called out, standing outside said tool shed, hands on his hips, ready to yell at him for whatever he did this time. Vyvyan ignored him.

"Vyvyan!" He called out louder. Vyvyan ignored him again.

"VYVYA-" Rick screamed before the door cracked open, only for Vyvyan to hit him over the head with a hammer. That'll shut him up for a bit. He needed to concentrate, for once. He actually wanted to make sure he did a good job on fixing Neil's guitar.

When any of the housemates came along to ask what he was doing in there, he'd respond with something outlandish like "A time machine to prevent Rick from being born". Mike only asked once before going about his own business. Rick tried to be nosy, but it'd only come back to hit him over the head. Literally. It didn't take long for Rick to get a headache and a shiner from it all. Neil didn't bother to ask, likely based off the results from Rick. Instead, he only came by the tool shed to ask for the watering can, in which Vyvyan tossed at him from inside the shed. It nearly hit him but instead it hit the ground next to him. He thought it was strange, but Neil didn't feel like getting a shovel to the groin like Rick, so he just went about his gardening, even if his plants are past their death. They were so shriveled up and dark you couldn't make out what he even planted in the first place.

Vyvyan would take breaks throughout the day, causing the usual chaos around the house, but he made sure to return to the toolshed to finish up that guitar. He did this for the past two days until he was finished. He honestly felt proud with his handy work here, even if it didn't look the best. A few dents and scratches were permanent on its body, but it was a major improvement overall. Vyvyan decided to test it out, tuning the strings by ear and playing an a simple A chord. Bloody brilliant! He was lucky that his uncle Eddie taught him a thing or two about tools, even if he was a total tool himself. He was pretty sure him and Rick's uncle were going out. He cringed at that thought. Rick's uncle was as much of a pratt as Rick himself was. Must be genetic, similar to how alcoholism runs in Vyv's family tree.

It was dark out and Neil was still awake in his room, insomia keeping him up as he painted out his astrological chart. Some of that hippie bullocks he likes. He heard foot steps outside the door, but paid no attention to it, that's until he heard the door crack open. As soon the tall brunette turned his attention to the door, it was shut immediately, leaving only his guitar leaning against the wall. Neil's eyebrows raised, perplexed. It was like his guitar came back from the dead. Was he being haunted by the ghost of his guitar? He didn't even think that they had souls. He slowly made his way to the door, looking to see if anyone was out there. No one was in the hallway, but in the corner of his eye he saw Vyvyan peeking his head out his door like a meerkat, before quickly closing the door behind him. Suddenly, Neil felt like his stomach was full of butterflies... That might just be the lentils acting up again. Time to continue that song on the toilet, hopefully without being hassled this time.

#i tried to make it somewhat humorous bc the young ones is a comedy after all yadda yadda #its vaugely punkpye but its there #idk if i should post it on AO3 or not so im just posting it here for now #the young ones #tyo #vyvyan basterd #neil pye #rick pratt #mike the cool person #rik mayall #ade edmondson #nigel planer #punkpye #hope yall like thr references to Neils heavy concept album hehe #and the richie and eddie mention #i tried to keep them in character hope i succeeded

Ten Characters. Ten Fandoms. Ten Tags.

Thank you yet again @officious-sea-lawyer my sweet pal!

I don't know that I got quite in the right spirit for this one for several reasons. One: my brain apparently makes a weird distinction between 'liking a thing' and actively 'being in a fandom' for it. Two: I wanted to get real deep with it but believe it or not, outwith The Terror, I'm mostly into comedy.

Nevertheless, here are some little shits I'm fond of.

-

Edward Little (The Terror) (Obviously)

Withnail (Withnail & I)

Bernard L. Black (Black Books)

Deacon Brücke (What We Do in the Shadows)

Vyvyan Basterd (The Young Ones)

Jean Tannen (The Gentleman Bastard series)

Sister George Michael (Derry Girls)

Howard Moon (The Mighty Boosh)

Jaime Lannister (Game of Thrones) (Can I specify only the early seasons before it all went to complete shit or nah?)

Brad Majors (The Rocky Horror Picture Show) (Just for laughs because I love him and actively lose my absolute shit every time he dramatically takes off his glasses)

-

I also don't know that I can choose ten whole people who haven't been tagged already so I'll just pick a few random nice friends I've noticed firkling around in my notes and the like: @percybysshes @habemuscarnificem @imakehorriblechoices @vending-machine-witch @dundys

No pressure of course! :)

#Tag game #I just like random shit #I don't actively participate in any kind of fandom for most of it #I feel like there's a distinction? #Fuck knows man #Certainly not me - ya gurl's on the rum tonight!

[scumbag-monthly]

Meanwhile, on 9th November 1982...

Yes, it'll soon be 40 years since The Young Ones first aired on BBC2! Can you believe it!?

Naturally, we at Scumbag Monthly want to mark this important event - perhaps the most important event in 2022 - with a zine. Thanks to the Scumbags Discord, we've already got scumbags pencilled in to write reviews for 10/12 of the episodes, but the mindless violence doesn't stop there!

Please DM @neil-neil-orange-peel if you'd be interested in doing any of the following (you can do multiple or just one, it's up to you, but please please PLEASE be realistic about your free time/motivation):

*Drawing a portrait of your favourite Young One - we want at least one of each, so you'll have to get in quick to bagsy your fave. We're hoping for Vyvyan, Rick, Neil, Mike, and Balowksi, with possibly the Fifth Housemate and SPG too. If there's a lot of interest in this option, we'll be more than happy to double or even triple up!

*Writing a piece about your favourite Young One - why they're your favourite etc. Once again, characters will be dished out on a fist come, first served basis. We'd like one (though preferably two) for each of the main four at least yes we know Balowksi isn't very popular with the scumbags we know we're not gonna force you bastards to write about him unless you want to. 500 words minimum, no maximum.

*Tell us what The Young Ones means to you - in words, sentences, paragraphs, explosions of art, a kick up the bottom. How did you discover the show? What, if any, impact do you think it's had on you? Have you got any messages for the creators, if you had the opportunity to address them (we're not giving you that opportunity, but just ✨use your imagination✨)?

And now on to things that aren't just rehashes of the Rik zine... ✨

*Writing a review of either Demolition or Oil - we've got scumbags signed up to do the rest, so please get in touch if you fancy either of those episodes. Minimum 500 words, no maximum. Please don't sweat this if you've never reviewed anything before - we're not looking for expert, objective critiques. Please feel free to just gush. I mean, look at our Strip Teases. 😂

*Writing a piece about the relationship between The Young Ones and music - to be interpreted however you wish. We just need one scumbag for this and once this option's gone, it's gone. Musical scumbags, anyone out there? TYO is somewhat unique in its choice to feature musical artists in almost every episode (not Flood!) in order to get a bigger budget, so it's only reasonable we address this.

*A ruddy talented cover artist - the scumbags always produce bloody brilliant cover art for us! We're going to be a bit more picky than usual about what we want on this cover, but overall you'll still have free rein. Scumbag Monthly is going to hold a competition for this cover art in early September, so whoever's art is chosen will not only become our cover artist but will receive a prize too! Feel free to DM now to let us know you'll be interested come September.

*Writing a piece about your favourite guest star - there's a lot going on in your average TYO scene, but we've all got our favourite bits. Aside from the main quartet of Scumbag students, which guest star really stands out to you? Why is this? Here's a chance to witter on about something only a TYO fan would. No word count minimum or maximum; just one piece per guest star (so once someone's picked Jennifer Saunders, you can't have her!). Be quick in DMing if there's someone you want to talk about!

*Art, glorious art - as always, if you want to send us miscellaneous TYO art, we will always find a place for it.

We're also hoping to do a poll of the 12 episodes and create a page of TYO quotes, so let us know which episode and which quotes are your favourites!

Is that everything? Sounds like enough to get the ball rolling! If you've got any other ideas you think would work in PDF format, DM @neil-neil-orange-peel. Please, go crazy ape shit in our zine. Seminal works of comedy don't turn 40 every day, you know.

The deadline for all of this bastardly goodness will be 5th November - if you're late, we'll send Guy Fawkes after your bogey bum! The zine will be going up on 9th November as we tuck into Demolition for what is undoubtedly more than the fortieth time...

Hewo can you do VyVyan Bastard from The Young Ones ?

Yea sure!

[videonastyish]

Intro!

Hello, i'm Chloe! I figured it was time to make another simp-blog, as it's just easier to start over! Anyway, yes! I'm Chloe, in my 20's. She/Her. I'm a simp self-shipper. I'll probably post whatever i'm cooking currently (art, headcanons, that kind of jazz).

I'm not the best with responding or messaging, so if it takes ages, don't take it to heart, my job takes up most of my time nowadays. I don't do The Discourse, but I like nasty creeps, so keep that in mind. Needless to say, no minors please and thanks.

Anyway, have fun! Enjoy!

Crush list!

🖤 Alex DeLarge (A Clockwork Orange) -Main silly man at the moment. The movie version, where I headcanon him as 20 after the timeskip in the second act.

He's probably the one i'm going to talk about most. And yes, yes, I know, he's a horrible little bastard. But he's *my* horrible little bastard.

Otherwise, my crushes are:

❤️ Vyvyan Basterd (The Young Ones) ❤️ Mr Pink (Reservoir Dogs) ❤️ Mad Mod (Teen Titans 2003) He is basically Alex anyway ❤️ Monty Burns (The Simpsons) ❤️ Geoff Tipps (The League of Gentlemen) ❤️ Super Hans (Peep Show)

And i'll probably think of more!

Xmas Fanfic Plug Alert 🚨

Ho ho ho! 🎅 With it once again being the season of long, cold nights and shopping stress (and a bit of festive cheer, too, for the kids), I thought I'd take the opportunity to shamelessly plug this little old fanfic I once wrote and have since never shut up about:

After the deaths of his parents, Rick certainly isn't looking forward to Christmas this year. Nothing and no one can put him off his misery - not even Vyvyan, whose relationship with Rick has changed monumentally since the near-fatal bus crash. The house's only chance at a happy Christmas has somehow fallen into the hands of a certain imaginary friend. Hopefully, Fred knows what he's doing...

A Bastard's Carol is, unsurprisingly, a Young Ones parody of A Christmas Carol. Well, I say a Young Ones parody - there are characters from across the Rik 'n' Ade 'verse running amok in this. I wrote it in 2019/2020, a time period now an almost scary number of years away from us.

Don't get me wrong, ABC is by no means worthy of comparison with the work of the great Charles Dickens (or the work of the great Rik Mayall and the great Ade Edmondson, either). Yes, it is overwritten (why'd you think it ended up double the size of A Christmas Carol?); yes, it features too much interiority (Rick is one of my darlings okay); and, yes, maybe sticking to the five stave format, thus ensuring some of the chapters hit 15K, when I was writing for people whose attention spans meant they'd ditched traditional novels for fanfiction was a bit of a mistake (love you guys).

But that all being said...

It was written with love, and passion, and a quite large dollop of staying-up-'til-the-sun-rises-to-get-this-next-bit-finished-damnit. Despite its imperfections - and there are many - I am still proud of it. I wrote it for me, but I also wrote it for this fandom as it existed at the time. As I said above, 2019 was a while ago, especially in fandom terms (back in the B.C. years), and I'm sure most Young Ones fans on Tumblr now have new and vastly superior fanfic to get stuck into. I'm just offering ABC up to you this December as a ghost of scumbags past, if you like.

I know I've slagged it off a bit, but seriously: there's at least one person who read it and had their GCSE-fuelled hatred for A Christmas Carol somewhat overturned by it.

And it's got Rick and Vyv being gay. I probably should've started with that...

Happy Holidays! ❤️
