Bertram “Bertie” Wooster, writing stories about Jeeves: My man is a genius. The most brilliant chap I’ve ever known. I would probably die without him. We have our little spats, and he’s got a rummy sort of schadenfreude in the soul, if that is the word I want, but my life with him is so pleasant that it’s all worthwhile. I am also passionately in love with him

James “Corky” Corcoran, writing stories about Ukridge: My best friend is literally the most annoying person alive. Can’t stand his dumb ass. Every problem I have ever had in my life is his fault. There is no interaction I come out of with Ukridge in which my wallet, my belongings, and my pride are intact. It is usually all three. I am also passionately in love with him

#red randomness #jeeves and wooster #ukridge #bertie wooster #reginald jeeves #stanley featherstonehaugh ukridge #james corky corcoran #jooster #wooves #corkridge #truly the duality of wode #I love how different his two longest-running narrators are #corky is so judgemental that I don’t know if he and Bertie would get along #but it would be really funny if they were friends #Bertie DOES habitually befriend a lot of artists and writers #and Corky’s snarky internal monologue does not seem to prevent him from caring for those he snarks about #Jeeves on the other hand would hate Ukridge with the fire of a thousand suns #someday I’ll write a crossover maybe

probable reason why Bowles likes Ukridge: his easy geniality, combined with the fact that he treats Bowles, a former butler, neither with reverence (like much of the working class) nor with disdain (like much of the upper class), but just as a person and “one of the boys”, must be wonderfully refreshing to him

funnier reason why Bowles likes Ukridge: he is well aware that Corky is unfathomably down bad for the world’s most cheerfully frustrating man and ships them for his own amusement

final verdict: both

#red randomness #ukridge #stanley featherstonehaugh ukridge #bowles #james corky corcoran #corkridge #every day I craft ​more Ukridge posts to send into the careless void #why did I get homosexual brainrot for a Wodehouse series with essentially no fandom #anyway I gotta finish reading the last three stories and then I’ll write my essay on why Corky is Wodehouse’s gayest character #in the meantime apologies to my followers
