I just started to read the Jeeves and Wooster novels as well as watching the TV adaptation and I love it! There is so much slashy potiental for it. Hugh and Stephen just bring out every slashy aspect of the stories. There is just something about them that you cannot take your eyes off of. I'm glad to see Wodehouse fan fiction and I've enjoyed everything I've read on this community.

My parents, who I've been sharing the joys of Jeeves and Wooster with, and I got into a discussion about the best episode of the TV series. Now I've only seen through half of season 3 (I think it's season 3, but they just left America) but my favorite, and in my opinion the most shinning in slashliness, Jeeves in the Country (I think that's the title), where Jeeves and Bertie split over the trombone. My question I immediately thought of after that episode was how Bertie ever lived without Jeeves in the first place. Anyone else have a favorite episode or story from the book series that really shows the slash?

I LOVE the ones where they're in America!!!! I just saw them last night. They are FABULOUS. There's one in particular... ummmm... the episode AFTER "Bertie Sets Sail," I think. There's a scene with Bertie and Jeeves playing the piano together that is SO CUTE.

Also? I farkin' adore Rocky to little teeny bits. ^^

I generally like the British episodes best, but I love the bit where Rocky is like, "Could he make it a little clearer, Bertie?" and Bertie has to translate Jeevestalk for him! And I'm totally with him on the "pyjama: informal/pyjama with sweater: formal" method. What a disgusting use of punctuation! Jeeves would be appalled. :) And now when I see them play piano I keep thinking of the "Piano Master" sketch. "Cock nice and high, high as you can!" Hope someone knows the context for that one. :)

haha i love it whenever he translates jeeves too :D

"I said we don't want any stiffness."
I always think of that too. I adore that sketch. Not quite as marvelous as the language sketch ("Why oh why oh why has the word gay been so ruthlessly highjacked from our beloved English language?")

That Scene Was Brill!

The piano playing scene screamed slash! I cannot believe I almost forgot that! I deserved to be whipped with a wet noodle!

Rocky was a great character but I saw him as a... *thinking of the right word* okay, I sat here for five minutes and the word still hasn't come to me. He showed how much Bertie had changed due to Jeeves influence. How many people have translate from Jeevese? It was not only cute but showed an emotional connection between Bertie and Jeeves.

That being said, I'd love to see more Rocky in the future just because he was so freakin' cute and loveable.

I'm dowloading season 3 now. Fricking 4 day process :P

I thought that Ep was sweet. Especially at the end when jeeves says no one else matches up.

The episode where Jeeves has 2 girls taken away from him by Bingo and his Uncle are hysterical. Jeeves da pimp...I always knew it.

[wolfweregrl.livejournal.com]

Jeeves definately has some of that pimpin' going on. I wonder if Bertie was jealous?

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

I've actually wondered the same thing many a time. All we get about the previous valet is that Bertie fired him for stealing socks. Considering Bertie can't even get dressed properly without assistance from Jeeves, I can't really see how he managed to SURVIVE.

My favorite slashy bit is the ending of Jeeves and the Tie that Binds. They practically declare undying love, and I'm totally not exaggerating.

[tootsiemuppet.livejournal.com]

Well, they do in the American version. *grumble*

Ah, how I love them. It's twoo wuv. (Plus, it rather shows Jeeves couldn't live without Bertie either which is something you don't usually take into consideration -- it's all BERTIEOMG)

[derien.livejournal.com]

The end of 'the Tie that Binds' is different in the English version?

[wolfweregrl.livejournal.com]

I need to see that. Is that a book or is it an episode from the TV series? If so what from what season so I can rent it as soon as possible. Oh no! I'm not letting my fan girl show to much I hope. :-)

[anima-mecanique.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the whole series, so I don't know if it made it into the show, but it was in the book Jeeves and the Tie That Binds (not Much Obliged, Jeeves, which is apparently the exact same book minus the scene at the end. For whatever reason.)

Bertie says stuff all the time that simply screams I'M GAY! Like when he says "I'm not much of a ladies man" and that converstaion with Cynthia about the time he was in love with her for about two seconds - he just doesn't get it!

I've only just started reading them - I've read What ho, Jeeves and am half-way through The Inimitable Jeeves. There have been slashy bits, my favourite was when some woman got the wrong end of the stick and thought Bertie had proposed to her (I think it was Honoria) and she said yes and then informed him that he's have to get rid of Jeeves. It was so cute how appalled Bertie was! And there's more to come, it seems
*Looks up at anima_mecanique's post*

[wordy.livejournal.com]

Oh, the ending of "The Tie That Binds", like anima_mecanique said upwards. That's a big favorite of mine, and always have been. In fact, I've been rereading my copies lately, and I found a note on the page with the conversation: "Golly, Jeeves. Subtle much?"

There's also lots of subtle things that, while not entirely slashy, are incredibly amusing and lend themselves to the "Bertie's so gay you can see the flames from space" theory. And Jeeves. Bertie's friends seem to think of him as some sort of fashion/advice god, always going to him for guidance. It's quite a bit like the cliche 'going to a gay male friend for advice', isn't it?

Take a good look at Bertie's relationships with his former classmates, too. He calls himself and a friend "Damon and Pythias" at one point. Can't be a coincidence. Well, it can be, but I'd prefer it not to be. ::grins::

[tootsiemuppet.livejournal.com]

Hehe Damon and Pythias, David and Jonathan,...

*snickers*

And the Ganymede Club.

Honestly, it's like Plum was hitting us with very slashy clue-by-fours.

[wordy.livejournal.com]

It took me a rereading and a quick internet search to make sure my translation of "Ganymede" was correct, but once I found it was I nearly killed myself laughing.

You really have to wonder if it's all on purpose or not. Common sense says "no", but the freakish fangirly part of me, well...
