A Wild Discussion Post Appears!

Because I suppose we all need somewhere to squee.

Venting frustrations is what anon memes are made for, but keep it respectful.

You are allowed to talk about the show, the actors, their other projects, the twitter RP, the forum, and what you had for breakfast.

OH MY LORD BUGSY MALONE!

I mean Larry, at the very least, would have such fun with it. :DDD

Okay, there's a hypothetical question that I've had in my head for a while and I suppose here is a good a place as any to mention it.
Supposing, hypothetically, that any RPSed couple did actually hook up in real life, what would happen? Would the fan girls be thrilled or would it actually just take all the fun out of the ship?

Sothesby...

Oh my, I am trying my hand on my first fic here and I just got stuck, what would Sothebys first name be? I can't recall hearing or reading anything and wikipedia thinks that he is a auctionhouse or born in the 18th century.
Can anyone give me a name for this guy, pretty, pretty please? :)

Personally? I'd explode.

I am honestly tempted, but I have little experince in RP and my grammar is... lacking, since english isn't my native tounge.
Tell me more, dear anon!

Well, I'm pretty sure he's a fictional character made up for the purposes of the sketch, so you can probably give him any name you think fits.

And ooh, I think you might've inspired me to suggest a prompt based on this mystery...

It does, but luckily we've been able to deal with it :)

ksjdhksjdhaskj Oh God I don't even know myself sorry!

Poss try searching for Stuart names and picking one you like!

(this exact issue is why I've so far avoided naming Blenkinsop and Maltravers, because I honestly have no idea what their names would be xD)

Re: Sothesby...

Oh, yeah I guess you're right. If you are want to know it ended up being William. Yeah, creativity! XD

Re: Sothesby...

(Anonymous) 2011-10-04 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get what you mean, it's just odd... I used William in the end, I am only using it once, and it's just a joke really. Thank you!

Blenkinsop's first name has to be Bertie, doesn't it? It just has to be.

[identity profile] amine-eyes.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
AWWWW IT WOULD BE SO ADORABLE, JUST LIKE HIM.


(And I am probably farrrrrrrr too obsess wth those two now >_>)

Being obsessed with Blenkinsop and Maltravers is definitely a thing I can relate to.

I've put them in the same category as Holmes and Watson. They have first names, but it would be far too weird to hear them used. Though Bertie Blenkinsop is pretty amazing...

Nero/Elagabalus - A bit more.

*high fives* In our defence, they are ridiculously adorable and wonderful :DDDDDDDD

And that is a very good category :)

I have so many feeeeelings about Blenkinsop and Maltravers. Far more than are warranted given they appeared in one two minute sketch on a children's show. But they are just so wonderful and exist in the most interesting period and are too cute. Much, much too cute.

They are just so wonderful :)))))))

Rank insignia

[identity profile] twizzle-eeyore.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 10:10 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, did a bit of googling today as I suddenly realised I didn't know what Blenkinsop and Maltravers' ranks are.

It appears Blenkinsop might be a major because of what he has on his sleeve - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:British_officer_rank_ww1.png – he has 3 stripes and one thing, and a major has 3 stripes and one crown.

Looking like this also makes me think Simon’s character is a Second Lieutenant, and I have absolutely no idea what Maltravers is as I can’t see his sleeve well enough. It seemed to have one stripe but I couldn’t see if it had the rest of the Second Lieutenant stuff, so I’m going to assume Maltravers is probably the same as Simon’s character unless anyone knows more/can work out more than me?

Ben’s a Major General due to the insignia on his epaulette - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:UK-Army-OF7.gif

...thought I'd post this here incase anyone else had been wondering, and in the hope there might be a nonny well versed in military uniforms who can tell us what Maltravers is...

LOL well, it seems to be slowly regaining some sense of wanting to write fills... now I just need to make senseof the jibberish on the pages...

Re: Rank insignia

[identity profile] amine-eyes.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Tbh, I always envisioned them as Lieutenants or Captains (very very new Captains though) just because they're so ridiculously young and adorable - erm, anyway, back on track.

Now that you mention it actually though, they would be higher up in that sketch, because they're talking about going to war (and then presumably tactics), and a Lieutenant and Captain (poss) wouldn't get invited to those conversations as they're too low down the ladder.

*bats away the plot bunny but it's too quick*

I shall get back to you on this!

Oh, thank you so much for this! I've vaguely wondered but never actually tried to figure it out, so you are awesome.
