some jeeves quotes! the first one .. "what do you mean by a gentleman of my description?" he's saying you're gay, bertie.

HES SAYING YOURE GAY BERTIE

bertie is so... oblivious to his own inclinations.

the man is like "hm why is it im so opposed to marriage, and i dont really fancy any of the women i meet more than a passing "she's fine, i suppose"

*puts on aluminum hat*

biffy "shes a tender goddess" biffen and bertie "describes jeeves as godlike" wooster

This is a lil short and is kinda myabe a sneak peek at a fic but also maybe might not be but. timbertie cannablism sorta 👍

Bertie feels like he must be losing it a little, perhaps it was just the bloodshed and death all around him every day, perhaps it was the song, sung every night. Over and Over.

Bertie couldn't stop thinking about eating someone - eating them alive that is. Even worse, he always ended up thinking about Tim.

Each time they would sit together, a brief moment of peace in the hell they lived in, Bertie would stare at Tims face. When he first did it, it was just him admiring the beauty of the other man. Time had passed and Bertie had noticed some thoughts. Of course there were the thoughts of kissing Tim, but they got more frequent, and then the imagined kisses became rougher, blood spilling from bitten lips.

Bertie tried to distract himself more often, to spend less time admiring his best friend.

It was all fruitless, as Bertie woke from a nightmare (or perhaps it was a dream) where he had been biting and tearing and consuming Tim.

He didn't go back to sleep that night, mind racing with so many thoughts about it all.

Bertholdt seems like he'd love to spend his birthday outside in the fresh air with a nice cup of tea, some books, and a bunch of pretty flowers to look at with you. Or curled up by the fire under a big blanket. Something very cozy.

Ooooh I can totally see this Nonnie. Bertie doesn't like to make a big spectacle of his birthday. He's used to it just being quality time spent with his parents and maybe a few close friends like Reiner.

And that's a tradition you'd naturally get folded into.

Imagine being nestled all snug against Bertie in one of those large hammocks for two. You've both brought books you wanted to read and that happens for a good bit before you notice Bertl's book laying on his chest while his eyes are staring up at the sky beyond the shade of the large oak tree shielding you from the afternoon sun.

And I know it's cliche as hell, but it's my imagine I'll thin what I want. But it remains a comfortable silence as you close your book and tilt your head against his shoulder so you can better angle your gaze in the same direction. After some long, peaceful moments of quiet contemplation Bertholdt's deep voice softly parts the silence. "That cloud looks like a hippopotamus face."

It's such a wild thought that you don't even manage to look for the apparent hippopotamus face in the sky before snorting out a laugh, "What?"

Casually he repeats his assertion, "That cloud looks like a hippopotamus face." The words haven't changed but there's an unmistakable layer of amusement enriching his tone.

Unhelpfully, Bertholdt doesn't even raise his arm to point out this clump of fluffy cumulus supposedly impersonating a plumpfaced pachyderm. Instead, when you lift your eyes back to the sky, your peripheral vision catches Bertl pointing his chin to where you should be looking. Again. Not helpful. But you suppose you can't blame him for not wanting to disturb the cozy posture you're both situated in.

Your gaze flits across the sky, searching for the right lump of clouds. But nowhere in the cerulean expanse do you find a hippo face. "Honey. I see something that looks like someone tossing pizza dough in the air but no hippo."

"You see, what?" Now it's his turn for an incredulous chuckle.

"You know. Those people that throw the dough in the air and spin it around with their hands to make it flat."

"I understand that. How are you making that out?"

"Because it's right there." You reach an arm up to point his gaze toward the pizza person. Like a helpful individual. "See?"

"Hn." You know that "hn." That's the "hn" he uses to make you think he knows what you're talking about.

"You don't see it?"

"Sorry, Ahuvatì. I don't."

You huff and Bertl turns his head to place a kiss to your forehead. You guess it's a decent consolation for his awful eyesight and imagination. "Okay. Well where's your hippo face then?"

The petulance laced in your exasperated question sparks another deep chuckle from Bertholdt. He lifts his arm to point toward a mass of clouds with two whispy tendrils on top and bottom. "It was there. Those little whips at the top were the ears and then there were some small gaps bellow that looked like nostrils on its snout."

"Hmph. A likely story."

Bertholdt links his fingers with yours of the arms squished between you both. He gives three quick squeezes and keeps your hand in his.

"Why would I make it up? And what about your pizza person cloud, hmm?" The hammock is rocking a bit now with the way his shoulders shake from his laughter.

Your head tilts back to meet his gaze, returning the three quick squeezes. Small thin lines crinkle the outer corners of his eyes as he grins at you. It's hard not to be drawn into the deep verdant pools of his eyes when he's smiling like this. It's not an uncommon expression to see, but it still makes your heart race when he focuses that joy and adoration directly on you.

"Uh, what?"

Your dazed response makes Bertl's cheeks flush. The thought that he can somehow distract your thoughts and make your mind, all foggy, as you like to say, will never make sense to him. He leans in and presses a sweet peck to the tip of your nose.

"Nothing, Ahuvatì." His free hand reaches over to cup your face, thumb brushing over the crest of your cheek. "How about we make pizza for dinner tonight?"

"Hmm..okay. Sounds good to me." Your eyes close and your head tilts into his palm.

Bertholdt leans in to give you a proper sweet kiss on the lips, returning an affirmative hum. "Great."

Pulling his hand from your cheek Bertl picks up his book from his chest to begin reading again. You move to do the same with your discarded book, both of you keeping the hands between your bodies linked together.

A few minutes pass in comfortable silence as you both dive back into your books. Then, a sentence on your page triggers your memory. "Hey wait a second! Just cause you couldn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't there."

You've turned your head too look at Bertholdt but he keep his eye on his book though a big smile spreads his lips. "Mmhm you're completely right about that, Ahuvatì."

His hand squeezes yours in a set of three and you return the gesture as you turn attention back your book. "Love you too, Bertie."

#welp this became another inspirational idea that had me sitting here for an hour+ typing this #short drabble 🙃🙃🙃 #but ugh he's so sweet #bertholdt x reader #aot x reader #nat writes #aot meta #and i think i used the proper spelling for the endearment Bertie uses #wasnt sure if there should be an apostrophe after the a or not #but yeah I have a working hc of especially modern bertl being Jewish #and so i thought it'd be sweet of him to use an endearment in Hebrew #i still toddle back and forth on the exact lineage his ancestors would come from #and also was a bit unsure about mentioning it since I'm not Jewish and welp #we all know the themes of aot and what they reference even tho I do believe the overarching themes are more broad than that #but nuances are important to pick up on and acknowledge #ummmm but yeah if anyone has thoughts and would be up for talking about my hc more #drop me a dm or ask!

hi bertie's friends!

so, I've been working on getting transcripts made of the episodes since there aren't any, it's been a really fun process, but I can't do it alone!

there are certain lines I haven't been able to hear properly, and others I have, but that I need spelling suggestions for because there are quite a few made up words that are said throughout.

I'm up to episode 10, and they're all in google docs fully editable if you have the link, with timestamps and comments on parts I can't figure out! :)

I have a few friends who've offered to help, but we could reeeeally use more ears. I want to start getting some of these up on the wiki we started soon! pls comment or dm me if you'd like to help, and I will send a link to the transcript folder <3

reblogs help too!

max telling clance about her queerness and the way she uses uncle bertie as like. an anchor point to convey exactly what she means "im gonna be hanging out there a lot more" im gonna surround myself with these people, the freaks (cause I'm like them) which they're not (if they are i am too) i want you to know that

#right before she started talking i was wondering how would they have her convey her message #cause lesbian or queer or invert or freak wouldn't have been... right. #too much shame and disgust in those words still to use them when talking to a friend about yourself #using uncle bertie and his open queerness as a reference picture. somewhere you can point to and be Like That #is so perfect. narrative wise. the crucial crucial crucial role of the Freaks. also so real and genuine #maybe not so much anymore. but probably yes still. you need a willingness to engage with words and concepts #but you can't really escape from a person who is Being openly queer #like having a flashlight pointed at your face. you can let it illuminate you or turn your head but you can't passively ignore it #love them so much and max's storyline is so so good #i don't know what my life is gonna look like. i love her #and clance!! #love her too

Alright I've been taking note of Oscar Wilde references in rqg most are to or about rqg Wilde which make it 10x funnier to me

- I will show him the importance of being honest!!! -Bertie

- Bertie can resist everything except temptation -James

- you know what they say, Mr Wilde, the only thing worst then not being talked about is being drowned in a bucket by an angry priest of Poseiden -Hamid

- he's lying in the gutter and taking his turn to look at the stars -James

- Wilde rolled over and is now not looking at the stars -Alex

There are probably more but I'm only on 56 on my relisten so yeah :)

I may be back with more (I know Helen makes some near the end)

#these activate my autism so much #me when real historical figure Oscar Wilde #me when ttrpg Oscar Wilde voice by Alexander J Newall #guys have I mentioned I like Oscar Wilde #:) #rusty quill gaming #rqg #rqg oscar wilde #eli madness

Behold, the thing I said I was going to do! (x) Nobody asked me to, but I did it anyway. Huzzah

If you don't want to share your actual first initial, you can use a nickname or fictional character instead.

I really tried hard to make these sound as plausible as possible per the way Wodehouse usually names things, so I put an explanation of all my thought processes under the cut.

Also, many of the color category placements are based on speculation and best guesses. If you think you could make a case for the color you're wearing being in another category, you can go ahead and put it there. Category justifications and list of canon references also under the cut.

*EDIT: Some new information regarding the way Drone nicknames work has been brought to my attention. I'm appending the following instructions to the nickname section: if you can think of a food pun based off the name you chose, do so, the stupider the better

First names: This is pretty simple, there aren't that many posh British first names. They mostly reuse the same 15 or so over and over. I used this list (x) of canon Drones as my reference to work off of for all names.

Surnames: All of these are either real British surnames (found mostly here) or real British town names (found mostly here). From Googling, this appears to be how Wodehouse created most of his characters' surnames. I generally tried to avoid names that have already been used, with the exception of Phipps, because Plum really seemed to like that one.

When it comes to place names, he tends to be more liberal about making up generically British-sounding shit or swapping out the suffixes of real places. For example, there's a real town called Steeple Bumpstead, but Steeple Bumpleigh is completely fictional. So I believe my instruction above to mash two names together still squares with the Wodehouse school of naming things, Your Honor.

Nicknames: Did you know that it's REALLY hard to come up with random combinations of sounds that a) are funny, b) sound like plausible nicknames, and c) aren't too similar to funny sound combinations that Wodehouse has already used? Because I do now

Most of the Drones just have regular nicknames based on a syllable of their first or last name (Corky, Freddie, Algy, etc.). Rules of hockey nicknames seem to apply. This left me with a fairly small pool of non-name-based nicknames to use as examples. Other categories of nickname include "personal characteristics" (Barmy, Ginger), "random syllable followed by y" (Tuppy, Biffy, Oofy), "random syllables shoved together" (Boko), "food joke or pun" (Stilton, Biscuit), and "random thing" (Bingo). I tried to include nicknames from all of these.*

I first assumed "Catsmeat" was just a random compound word, which is where Fishbowl and Mousetrap came from. On further searching I found out that his middle name is Cattermole, putting him more between the "based on real name" and "smushing random syllables" schools of thought. I kept them in partly because I thought they were funny and also because I can easily hear Bertie in my head telling Jeeves all about his old pal Mousetrap's romantic troubles. I imagine there are good stories behind them.

Colors: As stated above, placements are based on memory, conjecture, and cursory searches of the text. Some are pretty easy; Jeeves likes neutral tones. Some seem more context-based or depend on the specific shade. Pajamas seem to follow looser rules for acceptable colors, so I didn't count them.

Clothing items Jeeves has approved: shirts in light blue, mauve, and "dove colored"; brown or blue suit; tie with blue and red domino pattern; brown lounge with faint green twill (The Aunt and the Sluggard); blue suit with thin red stripe (Jeeves and the Chump Cyril)

Clothing items Jeeves has NOT approved: Blue suit with thin red stripe, confusingly; green tie that gives Bertie a bilious air (The Aunt and the Sluggard); "cheerful" pink tie (Jeeves and the Unbidden Guest); purple socks (Jeeves and the Chump Cyril); scarlet cummerbund that Bertie tries to justify by telling Jeeves he saw someone wearing a yellow velvet suit downstairs (Aunt Agatha Makes a Bloomer (Jeeves wasn't swayed)); white mess jacket (Right Ho, Jeeves, but I don't think it was on the basis of color)

Jeeves seems to endorse blue and red on some occasions but not others, according to mysterious Jeeves rules. Conspicuous bright red clothing is obviously verboten (see: cummerbund).

There's little data available on green. He approved it once in the form of an accent color, but vetoed a green tie on another occasion. Might be shade-dependent or only acceptable in small amounts.

Lavender gloves and spats tend to show up when a character is dressed in formal wear. I take this to mean that it's a normal color for such, but possibly not for casual wear.

I couldn't find anything on orange, so I made a guess. I think it's a good guess.

I could only find one instance of Bertie wearing yellow: in "Jeeves in the Springtime" he tells Jeeves to bring his "yellowest shoes" and "the old green Homburg." Jeeves doesn't voice any objection in the text, but there's no way in hell Bertie got away with this.

The only thing I can find on pink (excluding pajamas) is the "cheerful" pink tie mentioned above. I decided to err on the side of conservatism and assume that all pink is a no-go, but it's possible Jeeves would be less hostile toward a lighter shade.

For expediency (ha) and because the clothing power struggles become less frequent as the series progresses, I mostly limited my color search to the short stories.

I cannot just casually make a fun little meme. It has to consume my life and turn into an entire research project.

And there you have it! Like share and subscribe, ring that bell (ha) etc. etc.

*EDIT: Some new information regarding the way Drone nicknames work has been brought to my attention. While I still mostly stand by reasoning behind the nicknames, albeit a little more tentatively, I apologize to Catsmeat, Oofy, Biffy, Pongo, and Bingo for misclassifying the origins of their nicknames. The former is actually a food pun based on a real name, while the latter four describe characteristics.

Yeah, that's right, my memes have footnotes within footnotes
