My Man Jeeves - Blog Posts

made me think of this

Jeeves is Bertie's wife

I recently watched the first season of Jeeves & Wooster because I saw some of my Holmes blogs posting about it and I crave homoerotic tension. And because I quite liked the show I thought I’d read the source material before watching any further.

So I kind of naturally assumed that the books would be less gay because there isn’t the element of onscreen chemistry and they started coming out literally 100 years ago etc etc. But then I crack open the books and every 2 pages Bertie’s going “Jeeves and I are having a fight 😔 all because he says my tie doesn’t suit my complexion 🙄”

And then when Jeeves inevitably saves the day and Bertie gets rid of his ugly tie or whatever Bertie’s like “Jeeves has forgiven me 🥹 domestic bliss restored 🥰 by the way I’ve never understood why men and women get married to each other🧐”
