As Someone Who Went Through A Huge Robin Hood Phase- One Of My Favorite RH Retellings Was A Short Story
As someone who went through a huge Robin Hood phase- one of my favorite RH retellings was a short story in a children's magazine in which the Sheriff of Nottingham secretly asks Alan-a-Dale to plant stories/rumors of an unstoppable theif so that he can avoid enforcing King John's taxes. With the understanding that he (the Sheriff) will be the villain in these stories.

(on a scale of my darlin' sportin' Jenny to Bess the Landlord's Daughter) how much do you care about that robber you're dating?
Well! Last Monday evening, when we were down at Denver, we got a wire from Peter, which coolly said, "If you really want to see me married, try St. Cross Church, Oxford, to-morrow at two."
guys, the calender has lined up!! Tomorrow is Tuesday, the 8th of October, aka Lord Peter and Harriet's wedding day (and 89th anniversary). this is your chance to read Busman's Honeymoon in real time! (aside from the Dowager's diary, unfortunately)
If you do keep track of the days in Busman's Honeymoon, it's a bit unsettling how quickly it all happens, because SO MUCH happens. Tomorrow they will be married in Oxford; and the mystery (of which they are as yet blissfully unaware) will be solved on Friday. On Saturday, they will arrive at the Dower House in the small hours of the morning, and on Sunday Peter will read the lesson in church...
(Yes, in spite of all their mutual angst about the Peter's potential failure, he solves this one in forty-eight hours.)
(You talk like that too it is catching)
the tv tropes page for the book you just read is the digestif. no explanation needed. fanfiction is pure indulgence, it's the dessert. the memes are like when you sneak back downstairs at 1am to eat a few more bites, standing in front of the open fridge.
movie adaptations are when you reheat the leftovers several days later. sometimes it's surprisingly good. sometimes it makes you violently ill.

Anybody else ever start maniacally laughing because of how much you love Gilbert and Sullivan?? Just me? I’ll see myself out.
