enemies to lovers is one of my all time favourite tropes and these two fit the bill perfectly 👌

solving their bickering and riling each other up by kissing (and more)? all part of blackadder's cunning plan, of course 🙂‍↕️

He paused, the tobacco tin out on his bed, waiting for him. The painting of the South Downs still on the lid. He touched the painting lightly, before slowly pulling the postcard out of his pocket. Blackadder stared back at him, from where he was standing by his side. Accusatory, as if he knew exactly what he was doing. That sharp expression on his face, confirmation that he never missed a single thing. He opened the tin, shoved the postcard on top, took one last look at it before closing the lid. The two of them together. Over the old photograph of Doris.

How am I supposed to live normally while I’m thinking about the fact that in the Blackadder family tree there is a Darling-Blackadder??? Hello???

blackadder in 2024...? more likely than you think

I just came across this and it’s so silly I love it

Also - “Beautifully done” says Steven Fry, who has been messing up his shots for the last half an hour because of laughing

I wanted to do some soldier portraits. You know those portraits from the early 1900’s where they look all ethereal.

I didn’t really catch that aesthetic, as my lines are too sharp and I’m still getting used to marker colouring, but I’m overall happy with how they turned out.

First one is supposed to be from ww1. He is based on Captain Darling from Blackadder goes forth.

Second one is ww2, the uniform is loosely based on a British one.

Third one is modern, I have been learning about warships lately, so I wanted to draw a navy recruit. I like the hat. (And to any American who might see this, I’m sorry about the Star Spangled Abomination in the back. I’m Finnish, our flag is literally two blue lines on a white background!)

OH GOD I SENT MY FRIEND A PHOTO OF CAPTAIN KEVIN DARLING, SAYING “MY LITTLE CUMWHORE” AND HE JUST RESPONDED WITH “my mum’s in the hospital” OH GOD.

You just know Tang Fan would eat that pigeon if he got his hands on it.

Maybe that's why Ding Rong keeps holding on to it.

A Blackadder - tsomd crack crossover.

Happy Birthday Rik, the world will forever be a much poorer place without you in it

George: “Crikey! I'm looking forward to today. Up-diddly-up, down-diddly-down, whoops-poop, twiddly-dee, a decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron, a bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines, capture, torture, escape & then back home in time for tea & medals.”

Blackadder: “George, who's using the family brain-cell at the moment? This is just the beginning of the training. The beginning of five long months of very clever, very dull men looking at machinery.”

Flashheart: “Hey, girls! Look at my machinery! Enter a man who has no underwear. Ask me why.”

Everyone but Blackadder: “Why do you have no underwear, Lord Flash?”

Flashheart: “Because the pants haven't been built yet that'll take the job on! And that's the type of guy who's doing the training around here. Sit down! Well, well, well, well, well! If it isn't old Captain Slack Bladder.”

Blackadder: “Blackadder.”

Flashheart: “Couldn't resist it, eh, Slack Bladder? Told you you thought I was great. Alright men, let's do-oo-oo it! The first thing to remember is: always treat your kite like you treat your woman!”

George: “How, how do you mean, Sir? Do you mean take her home at weekends to meet your mother?”

Flashheart: “No, I mean get inside her five times a day & take her to heaven and back.”

Blackadder: “I'm beginning to see why the Suffragette Movement want the vote.”

Flashheart: “Hey, hey! Any bird who wants to chain herself to my railings & suffer a jet movement gets my vote. Er, right. Well, I'll see you in ten minutes for take-off.”

Blackadder: “Hang on, hang on! What about the months of training?”

Flashheart: “Hey, wet-pants! This isn't the Womens Auxiliary Balloon Corps. You're in the Twenty Minuters now.”

Darling : “Er, Sir?”

Flashheart: “Prat at the back!”

Darling: “I think we'd all be intrigued to know why you're called the Twenty Minuters.”

George: “Oh, Mister Thicko. Imagine not knowing that.”

Flashheart: “Well, it's simple! The average life expectancy for a new pilot is twenty minutes!”

Darling: “Ah!”

Blackadder: “Life expectancy of twenty minutes.”

Flashheart: “That's right. Goggles on, chocks away, last one back's a ****! Hurray!”

Bg3 where everything is the same except Astarion sounds like General Melchett from Blackadder every time he says “Darling”

[hotmonkeelove]

Sorry for the ridiculous tangent, but now I'm just imagining someone cooking and eating the pigeon, and William being all General Melchett from Blackadder Goes Forth because it was his prized pigeon. And the offender is court-martialled, with Grelle in the role of Captain Darling acting as prosecuting counsel.

It has been 219 days since the Kuroshitsuji hiatus was announced.

A rogue messenger pigeon flapped its way into the German dispatch office complex. Chaos quickly ensued as various reapers, including Ludger, dashed around attempting to shoo the bird out. Sascha followed close on their partner’s heels to capture photos of this unexpected avian invasion.

Me, several years ago: I headcanon that Captain Darling suffers from PTSD/shellshock, as his head twitch is often triggered by some kind of mental illness (anxiety, OCD, PTSD etc.) - and his job as Melchett’s assistant was after a medical discharge from the front line. That’s probably me just projecting my own stuff onto fictional characters but-

um. so. I watched the last episode of black adder in history (we're doing ww1) and like ITS SO GAY

Point one - blackadder's 'enemy' is is called something Darling AND BLACK ADDER ALWAYS REFERS TO HIM AS DARLING "Coffee, darling?" is a direct quote

point two - right before it ends, he says "We'll all be sucking sausages in Berlin" ExCuSe Me? sucking. sausages.
