I'm reading Sandman issue 22 (for Dead Boy Detectives ofc) and this popped up. I NEED to know what Wodehouse's dreams of a crossover between Psmith and Jeeves would entail

Wodehouse Adaptations

Hello everyone! So, a while back, I made a Google Doc documenting Jeeves adaptations, and a different Google Doc documenting non-Jeeves Wodehouse adaptations. However, I decided it would be better to just combine them - and also add a bunch more that neither past document had! So now I present to you... the Ultimate Wodehouse Adaptation Doc!

It's got all the adaptations I could find on the Internet of Jeeves, Blandings, Psmith, Ukridge, Mr. Mulliner, Golf Stories, Uncle Fred, and Drones Club stories, neatly arranged by medium and date. If you're only looking for adaptations for a certain series, there's a handy-dandy emoji categorization system, so all you have to do is pop one of them into CTRL+F and it'll take you to any adaptations marked with that!

Naturally, if you know of any errors in the doc, or see anything that's missing, please let me know! Thank you very much, and enjoy!

#red randomness #jeeves and wooster #blandings #blandings castle #psmith #ukridge #mr. mulliner #golf stories #uncle fred #drones club #p. g. wodehouse #not including all the adaptations of stand-alone novels and plays #because i only have so much strength in my body #and also a lot of those stand-alones don't even have adaptations #anyway this was so very much work to collect #so i hope it is useful to you all!

For the fic thing I'm assuming that any sentence of writing is fine? If not, disregard this ask

Ahem, sentence time:

"Little did she know that the rotisserie chicken she found at her doorstep was only the beginning of something way greater and way worse than she could have ever imagined"

Again she blinked at it: perfectly cooked, fragrant and just the way she liked it. Her mouth watered. Who would send such a thing to her doorstep with no warning? There was only one possibility. The enigmatic man she had met in the company of his friend recently: he who called himself Psmith.

open tag to continue this xD

It is a sad but indisputable fact that in this imperfect world Genius is too often condemned to walk alone—if the earthier members of the community see it coming and have time to duck.

Leave It to Psmith is 100 this year!

On February 3, 1923, the first installment ran in the Saturday Evening Post. I'm a little late getting to this, but today (February 17) is when the third installment ran.

We're measuring not in power levels or win count, but in sheer iconic nature. Keep in mind there is a right answer... and it's not a story the Jeeves series would tell you.

Also I'm excluding Dolly Molloy since I don't know anything about her.

Psmith on fish in Leave It to Psmith by PG Wodehouse:

To me, Miss Clarkson, from the very start, the fish business was what I can only describe as a wash-out. It nauseated my finer feelings. It got right in amongst my fibres. I had to rise and partake of a simple breakfast at about four in the morning, after which I would make my way to Billingsgate Market and stand for some hours knee-deep in dead fish of every description. A jolly life for a cat, no doubt, but a bit too thick for a Shropshire Psmith. Mine, Miss Clarkson, is a refined and poetic nature. I like to be surrounded by joy and life, and I know nothing more joyless and deader than a dead fish. Multiply that dead fish by a million, and you have an environment which only a Dante could contemplate with equanimity. My uncle used to tell me that the way to ascertain whether a fish was fresh was to peer into its eyes. Could I spend the springtime of life staring into the eyes of dead fish? No!

I don't have ideas for a full-fledged Psmith superhero AU, but I do think that Psmith should have "ghosting" powers. Able to phase himself/others/objects through other solid matter. Which allows him to literally throw intruders through the window and hide the shoe literally inside the chimney.

#random thought of the day #psmith #p.g. wodehouse #mike and psmith #this occurred to me when a superhero au was brought up #but it recently came to mind again #since we already have an au where he has mind control powers this is a possible alternative

Make a P.G. Wodehouse world OC!!

Why? Just for fun. I also like to imagine the possibilities for an rpg set in the world of his stories (with its characteristic plots and logic)

[aceredshirt13]

something very transmasc about the fact that monocles were largely an object of men’s fashion (unless you were a lesbian or G. E. M. Anscombe) and mostly fell out of fashion when glasses technology improved and it was thus easier to have different strengths in each lens. your vision needs correction but you wear glasses because it’s not terribly socially acceptable to wear the thing you wish you could wear, that you want to wear… and when you finally can and do wear it, it quite literally changes your view of the world for the better.

anyway this is why I think Psmith and Lord Peter Wimsey are transmasc -

#red randomness #psmith #lord peter wimsey #rupert/ronald psmith #peter wimsey #I’ve barely read either series so a thousand things could disprove this #but I’m choosing to believe this unless I’m forced to see otherwise #let me have this #also if I had a nickel for every autistic bisexual polyamorous monocled old lit protagonist #who is far smarter than his silliness would suggest #I’d have two nickels #god I need to read more of these books #I love these two from what I’ve read

[muse-write]

I’ve just started Mike and Psmith! I figured that I should go through the Psmith series in order now that I’ve read the last book. Quick question for anyone who can answer: how old are the characters in the school stories? In Leave it to Psmith they’re early 20s, so I’m thinking that here they’re around 16 or so? Anyone have more confident answers?
