If Bertie Wooster has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Bertie Wooster has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Bertie Wooster has only one fan then assume Jeeves murdered me as a last ditch effort to stop my unshakeable engagement to Bertram W. Wooster.

Yay finally done with Swap!Barok design!! My hand is sore during making this so I didn't do much with the clean up process. I ended changing his design, if I want to bring parts of his original version to this design then I have to commit to it, and with that I did lol.

And of course if Andrew could turn into a humanboy may as well turn Klint into a tool.

I also made an animatic video again to bring my vision to light so you can see how I imagine Barok in this AU.

I'm sorry if the video feels off or unfinished (it's because it is), I really wanted to add more like shake effect and stuff but it's just a lot of work to do, so I just not doing it (my sore hand and body really begging me to stop).

Next time with this AU I will do Albert's design soon and mayyybe along with his family, but before that I really need to take a break from this 😭

Here's the concept designs!

The ending of Bingo and the Little Woman hits different with an arospec read of Bertie. His best friend has finally gotten married, which is often a moment of Aro Dread, but it was with such a one-sided friendship that always demanded and never gave, so his life is likely to get better from this point.

And then Bertie comes home and all his frustration melts away into happiness for how things are for him, in his cozy bachelor’s life with someone he loves at his side, and can’t even find it in himself to be mad at Jeeves for his questionable methods.

In a general sense, who was infected via bite/scratch ratter than getting the suspicious coal?

Salty - got attacked by a feral Porter. He actually doesn't mind being a reptile-like beast. It means he can go visit Rusty and crawl up Cranky's support beams to talk to him better, plus, he can swim!

Diesel - got scratched up by a feral Duck. Duck suddenly remembered the beef he had with him and just went up and scratched him, then left. He refused to elaborate.

Mavis and Daisy - got cornered by Thomas, Percy and Toby while trying to escape Ffarqhuarr.

Bertie - Got bitten while trying to keep his passengers safe.

Annie and Clarabelle - couldn't go anywhere and got a bit scratched up.

Henrietta - was attacked by a feral Toby. Tried reasoning with him, but it was too late.

Carolyn - was chased around a bit, but escaped. If she could, she would spray water at them. She now treats them like big kittens whenever they act all adorable, and treats Diesel 10 like a dinosaur if she ever sees him.

Cleo - managed to hide from the infected. She's still secretly afraid of them, and has to have Ruth reassure her that they're still the same engines she got to know before.

Ace - escaped, he still treats the engines and infected road vehicles as his friends, but he also treats them like Australian wildlife, and sometimes just pisses one of them off to see what happens. He tried that with Edward to see if he could get on the old guy's nerves. Spoiler; it worked after the 1000th time.

Paxton - got jumped by the NG engines, all at once. He's pretty unnerved now when he goes to the BM quarry and literally squeaks when an engine just suddenly pops out of one of the tunnels without warning. He also struggles to understand Rusty. That little diesel just sometimes spawns everywhere Paxton looks. Rusty's an definite enigma...

bertie trying to convince a friend that he's not in love with his girlfriend by claiming to be in love with another girl instead is such an aro experience i feel him so much rn

[deweydecimalduck]

A modern AU in which Jeeves tells Bertie to make his aunts watch BoJack Horseman (aka the Rosie M. Banks method, except it's about Bertie this time)

[my-mistake-lets-do-this-again]

okay so someone sent me a dm yelling at me about my take that wodehouse might have been asexual so to that i say, please read about him and understand that i too am asexual and am quite happy with the idea that wodehouse might have been. there’s a ton of plausible evidence and even if he’s not, i can really truly relate to the way he approached telling stories. he wanted to focus on making the story as funny and interesting as possible while not being overly sexual or even overly romantic. sure, i ship jooster and sure i like hearing about the ridiculous infatuations that bingo little has and still enjoy interpretations that don’t follow the strictly asexual nature of the books and stories, but i truly like the idea that these characters are just ace or even aroace and stuck living in a world where people are forced to get married by their aunts who don’t understand. it’s all fun and games and getting mad at me won’t really change my mind about this interpretation. please don’t try to. i’m not trying to change anyone’s mind, i’m just having fun posting goofy things on tumblr

[aceredshirt13]

I just think if you’re doing a TGAA crossover and you’re using the name Herlock Sholmes. You have to apply that to all crossed-over characters. An encounter with Raffles and Bunny? Forgive me, you must mean J. A. Contests and his dear Hare Sanders. A Wodehouse crossover, you say? Why, surely it’s Wertie Booster and his marvelous valet, Jeginald Reeves!

Arsène Lupin is the same though.

[yeah-thats-probably-it]

Some moments in Much Obliged, Jeeves/Jeeves and the Tie That Binds where I Really Feel Like We’re Talking About Something Else Right Now

These are going to figure into a much longer meta post I’m writing about Tie That Binds, but that’s later and I can’t stop thinking about them NOW, so they get their own post to help me spread the brainrot around

[thefluffyrailway-official]

Where do Ace and Bertie factor in all this?

(Had to use translate so spologies if i misunderstood ;w;)

They're both with the same roles s in the og series.

Ace isn't infected btw! ......Not yet....

And Bertie.....Well, kinda funny to say that he's dealing with his 7 pups (he curses that "SPECIAL SEASON" of spring in his mind all the time).

Thomas usually makes fun of him abt it. But Bertie will do the same in a while when Orion spawns. (They're that kind of friendos-)

Rip Bertie Wooster you would’ve loved video games

“Look! Palace of Beauty!”

I tried to choke him off. I was getting a bit weary by this time. Not so young as I was.

“You don’t want to go in there,” I said. “A fellow at the club was telling me about that. It’s only a lot of girls. You don’t want to see a lot of girls.”

Yes everyone has posted this quote but I also have to post this quote. Bertie beloved you are the most clueless queer boy to ever breathe oxygen. Bless your gayro-ace little soul. Patron saint of every ace that was SO sure that everyone just pretended sexual attraction was real as some sort of group joke or marketing campaign.

Also lmao at “it must be because I’m getting too old for this” coming from Bertram permanently-stuck-at-twenty-six-like-peter-pan Wooster. Sure honey that must be the reason.

[kandicon]

The more I think about how a human, modern au Toy Soldier wouldn't work the more obsessed I get with TRYING to make it work and frankly there's only a few more loops in this self dooming cycle before I make a college au for all of them.

-

Okay I saved this post to my drafts and then immediately had more thoughts on this hypothetical college au. All the mechs should be as close to their canon events/back stories as possible to avoid having wildly different personalities (obviously there will still be very differing personalities due to not being immortal space pirates, but this would be easiest). It would be a extremely sketchy comedy of errors.

Obviously this takes place in community college because community colleges are just like that™

Put under the cut because it got a bit long.

Jonny:

Still killed his dad and the entirety of the casino.

Using the money he got from the casino and Jack to fund his way through a college hours away from his hometown.

Is constantly paranoid over someone coming after him for his murders or finding out that his highschool diploma is a forgery (he didn't finish his last two years because of said murders).

Ashes:

Being put through college by the Lucky Sevens, and still does tracking work for them despite only being able to physically visit their turf over break.

Smooth Mickey has only just started working with the Aces in Ashes' freshman year.

It is going to be a WILD senior year when Ashes breaks open Mickey's scheme.

Banned from the card games club.

Tim:

Transfer student from London that only entered college in the first place to dodge the draft. He never expected to enter college in the first place and is therefore woefully unprepared.

Wildly protective over Bertie, who transferred with him and is the reason he dodged the draft in the first place.

Not as murderous as the canon Tim, but certainly getting there over immigration and transfer laws in the US.

Still has the first name of Gunpowder.

It is gonna be a WILD senior year when he and Bertie get caught up in the Lucky Sevens debacle and Bertie dies.

Raphaella:

Nobody knows what major she's taking, because by all intents and purposes it appears to be all of them.

She's breaking into the chem lab and making lsd after hours to fund her way through college.

Has cute little wings on her backpack that she made herself, but in reality they're just hidden storage compartments that she's been using to steal lab equipment.

Ivy:

Nothing about her is different except for the fact her autism is diagnosed this time.

She works at the community library and the college library. She started her major in library sciences, only to discover that she already knew more about it than her professors, so now she's an English lit major.

Marius:

Also got in on forged documents, but his are significantly shittier than Jonny's or Ashes' because he didn't have the money to pay someone for it. Still nobody comments on the birth certificate with "Byron" covered over with off-color white-out and replaced with "Marius.

He also completely erased the gender category while he was at it. Again, nobody who actually looks at these documents is paid enough to care.

Still missing an arm and he has broken up AND started fights by hitting people with his prosthetic.

Getting his doctorate in computer science, but usually does not tell people exactly what he's majoring in when he tells people he's going to be a doctor.

Nastya:

Fleeing a Russian rebellion and very obviously comes from wealth.

Her backstory is the same, just without the robots. Her history of wealth and terrible attempts at hiding her accent are painfully obvious to everyone she interacts with.

Double majoring in engineering and computer science. Unintentionally breaks Marius' scheme open when she asks to copy his notes when she missed a day for a class they share (she would have broken it faster if she knew what he was doing).

Was assigned as Raphaella's roommate and she gets free estrogen in exchange for ignoring everything else that's going on.

Got dragged into the friend group by Jonny after he came over one day to hang out with Raphaella and they bonded over disabling circulatory issues.

Brian:

On the run from the religious cult he grew up in, which he was kicked out of because he got internet access and started learning about reality.

Still has a hard time believing most people he'll talk to will accept basic facts like "the Earth is a sphere"

Did not have to forge papers to get in, but he would later get recommended to a good forger by Jonny and get some restraining orders out of it.

Ambulatory wheelchair user (because it makes me happy) with an extreme case of moral ocd

The Toy Soldier:

Holy shit this bitch had a bad childhood

In a dissociative state a good 90% of the time and has huge sensory issues with the feeling of its own flesh

Goes by "TS" and adamantly refuses to tell anybody why.

Being put through college by their wealthy adoptive mother. Definitely lied about the college being prestigious and doesn't want to examine exactly why it did that or why it felt so soul-crushingly important to get out of the country.

Was adopted by the widow after her husband died at war. Was basically treated as one family member swapped for another and was expected to grow up in his image and to be proper.

Walking on eggshells 24/7. Orders might as well still be a physical necessity to it for how much of a compulsion they are. Will jump to do anything to appease the people around it if they show any indication of being upset.

Tim becomes its first friend because him and Bertie are the only other transfer students from London. It rather likes talking about guns with him and giving away all its care packages to him so it doesn't dwell on why they make it so uncomfortable.

Starts off majoring in military studies over the ages, but will switch to general music studies after meeting the Angel.

Spoiler alert: it will still kill the Angel after she gets into a relationship with someone else, but thankfully this just makes a wild junior year instead of adding to the already wild senior year.

Obviously they're all still in a band together. And they're the most dysfunctional friend group this poor college has ever seen.
