It's winter, I'm quiet in winter, don't worry about me ...

Robin Hood Weekly Squeeage, in bullet form:

• Aw, Guy can has a birthday party! But not a letter from Marian. Aw.
• Allan's learning to follow orders, I see. Hee. :D
• Oooh, and rather getting into this whole "hardboiled bad guy" thing, too. I ... kinda approve.
• But not willing to get his hands bloody, it seems. Not that there's ever any blood in this series, even when people get SHOT CLEAN THROUGH WITH ARROWS. *facepalm*
• "Not his dogsbody, I'm his right-hand man." Um. I mean. slkdjfskjfhdlkasjhkasdf HI YES I BET YOU ARE! ("Run back to your master" I MEAN WHAT !!!!!)
• Ahahhahaha, I <3 Marian. "Do you practise speeches like that?" He so does!
• I love the Fool. LOVE! Also lust, but largely love. He's sparkly and funny and makes Guy smirk. I like it when Guy smirks. (And smiles! Holy crap, that's a genuine smile! Note the date!)
• "Your woodCOCK, Sir Guy, I can bring it back to life." RIGHT. OKAY THEN. There's a line for that, Fool, take a number.
• Worst. Proposal. Ever. And by "worst" I possibly mean "best," but Christ and the man Jesus, Robin, over a freshly-dug grave? o_O
• "Who will give me away?" "I can ask the King!" WTF kind of logic is that? I hope that was a shoutout to the PoT movie because if that just spontaneously got written, someone needs to cut down on the drugs. Or share. Preferably share.
• "Why d'you keep a worm in your pants?" ... Er, BBC? You do realise this is pre-watershed, right? o_O
• Again with the miraculous lack of blood!
• Guy and Allan ducking away from angry!Sheriff = awww and heee. Also, man, Allan is kinda really short.
• Ooooh, more badass!Allan.
• ... WTF do they just carry a huge-ass hourglasss around all the time, just in case? o_O
• Much's entire "honey" rant = LOVE! "I don't fancy mine much." DON'T BE LIKE THAT MUCH, JOHN NEEDS LOVE TOO! D:
• RespectMahAuthorotay!Will = kinda hot, except I cannae get over the 'tache.
• Ahaha, I just noticed this on rewatching, but Robin was searching for that fugly engagement ring in their stach, right in front of Marian.
• The whole "It's their mate they look for" thing, yeah, okay, WE GET IT shaddup already. *eyeroll*
• Yay Fool! Stealing the key, and Allan totally knows, and Will knows that Allan knows! \o/ There's a lot of knowing there, possibly including in the biblical sense.
• "Catch the pidgeon, catch the pidgeon now!" I lol'ed.
• Yes, Robin, let's totally start by killing the no-name guards instead of aiming for Guy or Allan. *eyeroll*
• John, I approve your new outfit, but please wash your hair.
• The cold killing by Will and the Fool? I mean. o_O
• Allan and the guards doing the worst Testudo impression ever: *facepalm*
• "Myself and my ... my mate." Right. NO SUBTEXT THERE THEN EH WOT?
• Oh Allan. Aaand more smirking!Guy, I'm sorry, was I paying attention to the plot again? I'll be better about that.
• Oh, Allan, all conflicted when Guy lights the arrow.
• Oh, Guy, all flailing about Marian. *flails also* DAMMIT MARIAN MARRY HIM ALREADY AND STOP MANIPULATING HIIIIM!
• No, seriously, this is starting to irritate me. I bet Allan's pissy as well to have her back at the castle where she can give Guy false hope and make him cry in his beer and make Allan have to babysit him to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.
• "Speaking of decoy birds ..." Oh Will. So smooth -- NOT! *facepalm*

Next week: half-naked Sheriff, Robin making Guy beg, and Allan running across the (abandoned?) streets of Nottingham. I cannae wait! :D

Poor Little John! He does need love, AND SHAMPOO. I love him so much, but I want to cut and wash his hair in a serious way!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Step one: Haircut
Step two: Sexing
Step three: PROFIT!

... No? :D

[arkadyevna.livejournal.com]

Bwahaha! That sounds just right, actually!

Also, that really needs to be the basis for a fic in which Little John receives both shampoo (or at least the medieval-ish equivalent) and sex. =D

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

*ponderponderponder* But who would be the most likely to know about shampoo (or the equivalent)? Djaq? Marian? Much?

[arkadyevna.livejournal.com]

I have to admit that Djaq/John appeals to me. In my private fantasy RH land (a frightening place, to be sure) Djaq would wake up one morning and realize that skinny and barely-bearded is not so much fun as... umm... big and seriously-bearded. *g* But hey, why not get Marian and Much in on the fun? Or for that matter, the whole bloody gang! It would take at least that many pairs of hands to work out all the knots in John's hair.

...And to stroke his staff.

I HAD TO.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

YOU HAD TO GO THERE, DID YOU? :p

... Actually, I kinda agree. Even with the pun. SO THERE!

[arkadyevna.livejournal.com]

:D!

Hmm, I may have to really write that sex n' shampoo John fic now...

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

*encourages, feeds plotbunny*

[literateur.livejournal.com]

Well, most definitely not Will, did you see how greasy his hair was in this episode? It almost made me happy, because people in the middle ages like, NEVER bathed. EVER. So his hair should be that way. :D

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yes, but if everyone else's was that way it wouldn't bother me half as much! :p

Also, if people didn't was their hair ever it would look better than that -- John's hair looks unwashed-for-three-weeks-after-a-lifetime-of-daily-showers instead.

... I know too much about hair, what?

[literateur.livejournal.com]

I suggest hair therapy...OMG I just used a sunsilk ad...'get hairapy'...oh no. I didn't realize I just did that. 0_o

Or you could become a barber.

[wibbble]

> (or at least the medieval-ish equivalent)

Are you joking? They can just use Head and Shoulders to go with the M&S clothes.

[arkadyevna.livejournal.com]

Or at the very least, Marian is sure to have a trial size bottle of Pert Plus somewhere in those camo pants!

[wibbble]

I don't believe that brand exists over here, so when you mentioned 'per' in relation to the character of Marian, it wasn't hair I was thinking about. :op

[bj-4ever.livejournal.com]

Aw, Guy can has a birthday party! But not a letter from Marian. Aw.
I told you, I don't like her, how rude !! O_o

Oh, Guy, all flailing about Marian. *flails also* DAMMIT MARIAN MARRY HIM ALREADY AND STOP MANIPULATING HIIIIM!
YAY 200% with ya... !! Or not lol She isn't the right for him... Ahaha ^^
Love is BLIND!

half-naked Sheriff, Robin making Guy beg,
Lool
Only for the I can't wait to be next week !! xD
But first all I've to see this episode first obviously ! xD

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I just wish Marian would either realise he's much better than Robin, and marry him, or leave him be already. *flails*

[sandrine]

Word. And I'm getting tired of having "Marian/Robin = epic love" shoved down my throat. :(

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Yeah, can we get that toned down, plskthx? They love each other, we get it, we don't need to be reminded ALL THE DAMN TIME. God.

[wibbble]

> even when people get SHOT CLEAN THROUGH WITH ARROWS. *facepalm*

And die. And then get up and run away. I know that it was necessary for plot reasons, but that just means that the writing is /really awful/ instead of just the normal bad.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I didn't even realise that one until the rewatch. I'm gonna pretend that didn't happen or something, because gah. *facepalm*

[thestorymaker.livejournal.com]

I re watched it this morning, and you brought up a lot of the points I picked up on such as:

A) Practicing speeches - LOL You can imagine Robin doing just that! (Wonder if he planned out the entire proposal!)

B)Woodcock line - Seriously, funny! And the look he gets from Sher and Gis...brilliance!

C) The Proposal - Personally I loved it!

D) Who will give me away - I know, I was like, um ok, "yeah Richard, just when you get back, do you mind giving Marian away to me at our wedding?". I agree this must be a link to PoT, because really, it won't be believable otherwise. Even in PoT it wasn't mentioned she was the kings cousin until the end of the movie. I'd expect it to at least come out before the wedding day in RH.

E) he hourglass - I was thinking the same thing, it just suddenly appeared out of nowhere...and it was freaking huge!

F) John in need of washing - Am I the ONLY person thinking John is turning into Wurzel Gummage?

G) Decoy Birds - Seriously, I had visions of a building site, when Will referred to Marian as a 'bird' in a not so very nice way...but I found it rather hilarious.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

B)Woodcock line - Seriously, funny! And the look he gets from Sher and Gis...brilliance!

"How does he know I MEAN WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?" Ehehehe.

D) Who will give me away - I know, I was like, um ok, "yeah Richard, just when you get back, do you mind giving Marian away to me at our wedding?". I agree this must be a link to PoT, because really, it won't be believable otherwise. Even in PoT it wasn't mentioned she was the kings cousin until the end of the movie. I'd expect it to at least come out before the wedding day in RH.

I think it might have something to do with the fact that Marian, as a woman, cannot herself decide who to marry, and without a father or uncles or brothers, the King is her legal guardian? Still, that could've been explained so much better. As it is, my first reaction was "Little John! Little John should totally give you away!" Sigh.

E) he hourglass - I was thinking the same thing, it just suddenly appeared out of nowhere...and it was freaking huge!

... Ehehehehe you said "huge" ehehehe. (Okay, I'm done being twelve now.)

Really, even aside from the historical inaccuracy -- they just carry that thing around just in case they get a use for it? What? o_O

F) John in need of washing - Am I the ONLY person thinking John is turning into Wurzel Gummage?

I had to google that (not being British by birth, I miss a lot of cultural references, woe) but now that I know what you mean ... YES! The resemblane is frightening and must be stopped!

G) Decoy Birds - Seriously, I had visions of a building site, when Will referred to Marian as a 'bird' in a not so very nice way...but I found it rather hilarious.

Well, Will is the equivalent of a builder in medieval times, really. So it's kind of in character. (And the good part is, no one's going to complain if we start seeing his asscrack!)
