Modern Day Jekyll would blast this when he’s feeling Hyde-ish

[sammyay]

me: okay, tonight i’m locking in. i’m going to write all night, become a literary weapon and finish my chapter. i won’t just write the wip, i will be the wip. i’ll be unstoppable! relentless! unbreakable! so powerful the writing gods will have to restrain me themselves—

also me, 3 hours later: *giggling at yet another cursed tumblr post while my opened word doc glares at me with only 5 new words and a shameful half-finished sentence*

[sammyay]

when i write dialogue it’s either oscar wilde levels of sharp wit or literally “hi. hello. how are you.” no in between

I need a Jeeves to my Bertie Wooster.

[sammyay]

the more time passes (aka the older i get) i become more accepting of (aka resigned to) the likelihood that i will be single forever because if i'm 100% honest i'm not really that interested in being in a relationship at the end of the day. but then i remember that this entails depriving my parents of the only opportunity they have to attend their child's wedding and/or have grandchildren and i feel totally crippled by guilt

[sammyay]

Me: I am totally and completely normal about all the fandoms i'm in and enjoy them very much!

Friend: weren't you talking about Jekyll and Hyde like a lunatic earlie-

Me: JEKYLL AND HYDE?! SGFDFSGFDGFDHF HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE GLASS SCIENTISTS?! HAVE I?!?! DO U WANNA WATCH THE JEKYLL AND HYDE MUSICAL LATER THIS WEEKEND?!! I HAVE PLAYLISTS ON SPOTIFY DEDICATED TO EACH CHARACTER! TRUST ME ON THIS ITS INCREDIBLE YOUR GONNA FUCKING LOVE IT-

Friend: ...and this is why I never ask about you interests

Concept: Dracula also has a diary, but he just records tasting notes in it like a sommelier

29 June: J.H. - Vintage est. 20 yrs. Fruity. Cherry notes with a base of young wood. Acrid scent of fear, though lessened when sleeping. Loud flavours, almost aggressive. Prickly.

11 August: L.W. - Vintage est. 19 yrs. Bright and floral, like sun-warmed honeysuckle. Strawberry and buttery notes. Velvety texture. Hardly any metallic flavour. Dessert-like.

9 September: L.W., Vintage est. 19 yrs. Abrupt, inexplicable change in bouquet. Robust flavour, predominantly oak and iron. Notes of black pepper and coffee. Coats the mouth.

12 September: L.W., Vintage est. 19 yrs. Mouth overwhelmed with burn of garlic. Beneath garlic, another impossible change. Bitter flavour of exhaustion, combined with equally acrid stress. Chalky.

17 September: WHAT IS GOING ON, WHY DOES SHE TASTE LIKE AN OLD MAN NOW

Posh Fancy People Name Generator (Debrett's Peerage 1903)

Do you spend a lot of time coming up with silly names for your Jeeves and Wooster fanfic? Do you and your friends get together on weekends to LARP as Oscar Wilde characters? Do you just want to feel grateful that your parents didn't name you Allnutt?

Then have I got the random name generators for you! 

Introducing two Debrett’s Peerage (1903) Name Generators, by yours truly! 

It will give you a first name, TWO middle names (so posh), and a surname, all taken from actual once-living human beings whose names were recorded in the 1903 edition of Debrett’s Peerage 

There’s a posh man version and a fancy lady version

(I also included an optional tick-box to add a title/peerage rank and/or some silly bonus info from me, but you can keep it name-only if you prefer) 

here are some of my fave Actual Names that I found. now imagine how much sillier we can make this by putting it all in a blender

please note: lettice is her middle name. her surname is gore. miss lettice gore, you are an icon.

A few notes on logistics:

Names are not weighted and were entered into each category only once, regardless of how common or uncommon they were in 1903. This means you’re as likely to be named Wyndham as you are to be John, because frankly it wouldn’t be fun if every man you generated was named John 

However! First name and middle names are separate lists, so your first name could be the same as one of your middle names; alternatively, both of your middle names could be the same because middle names are pulling from the same list. This should enhance the absurdity 

The name ‘Napier’ appears in Debrett’s Peerage as a first name, as a middle name, AND as a surname. While it’s statistically unlikely, it is technically possible to generate the name Napier Napier Napier Napier for yourself 

Spelling variations (eg, Ann vs Anne) were included as separate names

The generator is continuously being updated with more names, because there’s a whoooole lot of names recorded in Debrett’s Peerage (yes, I am manually reading and entering names from a 2,000+ page document. what of it.)

For the bonus tick-box: the titles are all real, but they may be paired with a different peerage rank than they were in actuality (e.g., if you generate Lord So-and-So, the So-and-So is a real title, but the generator might tack it onto a Earl instead of a Marquess, etc). I didn’t include any royalty, just aristocracy 

For the bonus tick-box: most are a straightforward “you are a Countess” but some are me being a bit silly and having fun

Can't believe this married ass photo of the two of them is an official promo photo for the series

For those who don’t know, it’s a 1920s-1930s comedy about a young man and his butler. They’re uh

uh

Anyway, go watch it. Very much worth it if you want to see posh people get hit in their face with tomatoes

also the music is fire

So i started watching the Jeeves and Wooster 1990s series.

It took me TOO LONG to recognize the actors tbh

If you’d like it, I could gladly translate some…examples into English!

I’ve seen too many and my god they’re cursed.

But as for inside jokes uh…

I think UTTERSON being in love with tea is one.

But otherwise CRAZY amounts of brainrot

occasionally they do hit us with this though

Translation: (Utterson being asked if he misses LANYON and Jekyll)

“To be honest, it’s harder to Imagine that they are alive rather than dead.”

“And no matter what they had done in their life (especially Jekyll), I still grieve and miss them”

“But however that may be, all the dear to the heart and soul people die in their own time, and one should only resign and live on. Forgive me, but can we stop talking about this?”

random thought of the day:

i kind of want to see a russian jekyll
