Every PG Wodehouse chapter: Bingo is in love again. Jeeves won't help us come up with a scheme because I wore something orange last week.

Ok but I was just thinking
Jooster is kind of the only actual solid relationship in Jeeves and Wooster?? Like platonic or romantic, let me explain
Like obviously it’s the focus, but like. Listen.
Everyone else hops from girl to girl, or guy to guy, and each one is filled with turmoil. This is just talking about Bertie’s friends, right?
But also, as friends, they really suck. They constantly get him to do things for them and do nothing in return.
Even the aunts and uncles don’t usually have spouses that are actually on screen!! Who knows if there were divorces or something?? Like people’s parents are hardly ever present it’s always some rich aunt or uncle, with Bertie yes but even with all his friends 😅😂
Everyone in that show is just so… detached from each other. There’s a particular moment where Bertie is driving Bingo and Tuppy home, and they’re just ranting about their women to each other and not listening to the other, and Bertie is just so done with it. I think that illustrates this point pretty well.
Anyway, Jeeves and Bertie are so not that. There’s another post somewhere on Tumblr talking about how Bertie always replies to Jeeves’ subtext and they pick up on each others moods essentially, which I think is a great point. And generally they just really like each other. Just read any of the books to see how much Bertie admires Jeeves, and read “Mr. Wooster Changes His Mind,” which is from Jeeves’ perspective, and you can see how he cares a lot for Bertie as well.
And like. They have their own language. Bertie is used to Jeeves materializing into rooms (this generally freaks out other people), he is now comfortable with it. Also he knows that whenever Jeeves is cold to him it’s almost always about his fashion choices, and that is a constant theme of how they interact. They have their quips about music sometimes. Jeeves always helps solve Bertie’s (and friends’) problems, and even when Bertie gets the short end of the stick, if it’s Jeeves’ plan he immediately is satisfied with the conclusion.
The biggest thing, though, is probably their brief break-up. Like. They had a disagreement and broke up, and then missed each other. There weren’t even any hard feelings, just longing tbh. And at the end they got back together, and stayed together, and were happy to see each other again. They clearly enjoy each others’ company. And Jeeves seemed to think that the other candidates for his employer did not even compare to Bertie.
Name another couple in this show who is as devoted as they are
Half of the women go for men for their status, the other half at whims
All of the men go for women on whims, and half of them find another girl when they have some sort of disagreement with the previous one
And even if they get back with a previous partner, there’s no guarantee that they will stay together
But Jooster is in for the long haul. The most consistent relationship, the most caring relationship, the most in-tune relationship, the most long-term relationship.
Oh yeah also with familial relations and all that. Aunt Agatha has been quoted to say she thinks Bertie should probably be put in some home. Like, that’s pretty rude and everything. She also tries to get him to marry all the time, she doesn’t care about him in a way that is healthy at least, only so much as he can be out of the way and out of trouble. Even Aunt Dahlia, who says he is her favorite nephew, and who takes advantage of his nature to get him to do things for her, insults him and throws things at him sometimes. His cousin Gussy, when he gets drunk, insults him in front of a crowd, going so far as to say he hates him. Claude and Eustice put him into the soup without a care for how mad Aunt Agatha will be at him.
Jeeves never insults him, or not his character at least. Yes, they have their disagreements about fashion and music. But Jeeves never insults his intelligence. He never calls him clumsy. He never underestimates him. Yes, he is his employee, but I have a feeling that it doesn’t have to do with that. Even when he was split up, like I mentioned, he came back and said the other employers weren’t up to snuff compared to Bertie.
Omg and then there’s all the women who think Bertie loves them/who want to marry Bertie. Of course, they all have delusions about him, because if they knew him at all they would know he is not in love with them. They would know that he’s too much of a pushover to say no to them. But they don’t. Which just shows further the disconnect everyone has in this show.
Ok referencing one more post because I like the point they have. It was something about how the actors keep changing for the side characters, unintentionally showing how Jeeves is really the only constant in Bertie’s life. Again showing the difference in their relationship vs his disconnected everyone else is. While I’m sure it’s not an intentional choice in that regard, it certainly is an interesting connection.
Anyway like I said at the beginning of this, you can interpret their relationship as romantic or platonic or somewhere in between, but it’s definitely the only solid one in the series.

as an American currently living in Japan. can’t stop thinking about modern AU Jeeves and Wooster where Bertie can’t flee from Aunt Agatha to America because she can just fly there and find him so he has to find somewhere even further away, resulting in Bertie and Jeeves taking the most sterotypically white tourist trip to Japan known to man. featuring:
Bertie saying “Konnichiwhat ho, Jeeves!” the second they get off the plane
Bertie getting complaints from the cat cafés because the cats adore him and the other customers are upset that he’s hogging them, leading to a blanket ban from every establishment in Tokyo
Jeeves (who is either inexplicably still Bertie’s valet or is an incredibly dedicated live-in PA) critiquing the technique of everyone working in the butler cafe, leading to a blanket ban from every establishment in Tokyo
karaoke night where Bertie knows all the lyrics to various anime songs but is absolutely not even close on the pronunciation (Jeeves watches him with impassive, amused fondness)
Bingo, for some reason

every fandom has “THE fic” and I just read the J&W fic which would be the mercury one. I think the most disturbing thing is how I was unprepared for it but yet I wasn't freaked out.
spoilers here*
Me: oh he's dragging around his dead body as if he's still alive alright cool-io💀
I think it's really sweet that Bingo still visited Jeeves even after he cracked 😭 idk you would think he might never want to see Jeeves again because he would remind him of Bertie but he checks up on him. Maybe Bingo feels responsible for Jeeves because his scheme contributed to Bertie's death or maybe he feels that Jeeves helped him through so much it's the least he could do.
Spoilers end*
What were your thoughts on the mercury fic? We're you prepared for it or did you skip the tags? Lemme know in the comments or reblog!

Wet cat
Guess who should be sleeping but is reading a letter on his bed and kicking his feet like a schoolgirl? Me! New letter from my old chap Bertie and, just as I expected, his plan didn't work as he wanted.
Bingo is a wild card, he can be helpful sometimes until he does something that wasn't part of the plan, or he falls in love. Again. At first sight.
I really love this illustration. Bertie looks like my cat when she stays outside in the rain. She does that to be dried by her humans.
Tumblr media
I agree with Honoria, Bertie is funny and he wants somebody to take charge of him but not to be molded by his partner. Just ask Jeeves how much he tries to use bold fashion clothes against Jeeves' recommendation.
It's nice to see Jeeves sending cards to Wooster and having a good time just like Bingo and Honoria. Bertie is the one with bad luck.
(Also: Ruskin? John Ruskin? *opens Wikipedia*)

Psmith runs past Mike on the street.
Mike: Psmith? What on Earth? Why are you running?
Psmith: Comrade Jackson! The disruption of my usually stately demeanour may be attributed not to a wish for exercise but to flight!
M:eh?
Bertie Wooster, Oofy Prosser, Monty Bodkin, Bingo Little, eggs, beans and crumpets (shouting):“Stop him! He’s got the club brain cell!”

So I've just read "Comrade Bingo" for the first time, and my friends from within and without the Jeeves group chat and I have been searching up this subject, so I need to take the pulse of the people.
