Not so talked about fact: Joseph Mawle had a side role as Sir Tificate in the children's show Sir Gadabout in 2002.

I know it's a kid's comedy, but I still think Joseph Mawle deserves a BAFTA for it, especially when you stop and think about how you might not know this was the same guy who'd go on to play Adar from Rings of Power or Jedediah Shine in Ripper Street.

I made these screencaps last night, but I felt like I had to recover from the Joseph Mawle Cutness Overload first. LOL LOL

ROVER GADABOUT ROMANTIC HEADCANONS

ft. Rover Gadabout, [SUE] (mentioned), Robin Stardancer (mentioned), Rover’s unnamed daughter (mentioned)

tags… anime campaign, anime campaign filler, relationship study, Rover is gross, like really gross, but you love him, fluff, lots of van jokes, Rover does not have custody of his daughter

word count… 916

a/n… @purpleisdebeste THIS IS ALL FOR YOU MAN. I STUDIED FOR THIS AND EVERYTHING. This blog exists to write obscure anime campaign characters and I am determined to know all of the rare sillies. Collect them all like pilot command cards ✧ 🦄

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married for ten years, he still lives in his fucking van.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 You could have a house with a mortgage and he would still sleep in his van every night. Just walks into the garage, climbs into the backseat and conks out.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 I feel like Rover’s love language is quality time. Not so much a guy for receiving gifts because he doesn’t see the point in being gifted a sweet dessert or savory meal when hamburgers out of the dumpster suit him just fine.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 However, he will gift you things that he’s found in the trash, so please accept them with a smile. Even if he doesn’t show it all the time, he likes making you happy.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 An ideal date for him is watching VHS tapes on a CRT TV in the back of his van and eating cup noodles.

“Why do you like watching Scooby Doo so much?”

He stared at the TV vacantly. “There’s a van in it.”

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Also, the mental fortitude you need to possess to cuddle this smelly man is unimaginable. I salute you.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 He drapes himself over you like you’re the park bench he’s sleeping on. In fact, he does often fall asleep on you. You can’t get up now. Cat logic.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Being Rover’s partner essentially means you have to make sure he doesn’t get himself hurt or get into any insane shenanigans. So as long as he has the keys to his van, you’re probably fine.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Several dates do consist of dumpster diving and otherwise rummaging through garbage. Even if he has the money to actually shop, he just prefers this. He’s just like this.

“Hey look, I found an old sweater.” Rover held up a sweater with several stains of questionable origin on it. “It would look cute on you.”

With a blush and feelings of concern, you’d stutter, “Maybe…..I think we’d need to wash it first. Several times over.”

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Rover isn’t actually bad at things like cooking or doing laundry, half the time he just chooses not to because he’s fine being a strange trash man. Just remind him to go to the laundromat every now and again.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 He puts little things that remind him of you all over his van. A little figure from a show you like on the dashboard, a bumper sticker, an air freshener…..any little trinket he can collect that he relates to you. He’s kind of a hoarder, honestly.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 The two of you actually painted his van together. It was super fun and sweet, and he was better at painting than you thought!

“Did you have any ideas on what to paint, or….?” You looked at Rover, who was staring at the side of his van with a hand on his chin. For Rover, he seemed weirdly thoughtful.

“Maybe……another van.”

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 There isn’t really a rhyme or reason to why Rover falls in love with you, he just sort of latches on and starts to associate you with home.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Rover has a penchant for things other people might pass over, like food out of the garbage or dollar bills on the ground. So he sees worth in you where other people might not. He honestly doesn’t understand how no one else was with you already, you were so sweet and considerate to even a bum like him. There’s no way he could pass up a diamond in the rough like you.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Since he does mention having a daughter in the rp session, it’s likely that he’s had some sort of past relationship that didn’t end well. As such, he can actually be kind of insecure, as much as he hides it behind a blank expression. Please give this man some extra loving, he needs it.

“I don’t know why you stayed,” he announced suddenly as he laid his head in your lap. “But I’m glad you did. I just feel like I should say that.”

“Why wouldn’t I, though?” You ran your fingers through his messy hair. “I just love you.”

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Speaking of his daughter, you get to see her sometimes! He doesn’t have custody or anything, but he does pick her up from school and take her to dance practice sometimes. I imagine her to be middle school age, since it’s mentioned she likes Robin, who’s a tween idol. Even if she’s kind of embarrassed that she’s getting picked up from school by her smelly dad in his trashy van, she’s still happy to see you two.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 (Especially since you convince Rover to take her to an actual restaurant for dinner instead of dumpster diving.)

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 When you were first introduced to his daughter, she loudly announced how glad she was that her dad finally had someone else in his life, and she was scared that he’d NEVER get a partner again. Poor Rover is covering his face with his hands and insisting she cut it out.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Other people react similarly to your relationship. Robin and [SUE] are fangirling over how cute you two are together, and that Rover secretly has a soft side! How adorable!

“I can’t believe Rover has a [ROMANTIC PARTNER]! You guys are so my [OTP]!”

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Instead of an engagement ring, he gives you an extra copy of the keys to his van. That’s how you know he trusts you more than anything.

𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 You know you’re with him for the long haul when he starts referring to it as “our van” instead of “my van”. You truly are stuck with him for life.

America’s First Postwar Sports Car Could Have Been the Gadabout Roadster - Pat Foster @Hemmings

The first time I spotted the photo seen on this page I thought both the man and the car looked sort of familiar. My bat-infested mind immediately conjured up a vision of a “Bizarro-World” Raymond Loewy sitting in an early Avanti prototype. Thankfully, I was wrong. But the photo, which I purchased many years ago at a car show, didn’t identify either the man or the car, so I was left to wonder…
