rionaleonhart: goes wrong: unparalleled actor robert grove looks handsomely at the camera. (unappreciated in my own time)
[personal profile] rionaleonhart
It can be a real challenge to characterise the fictional members of the Cornley Drama Society, given that they spend so much of Goes Wrong canon playing other characters. Therefore, I thought I'd see if I could put together a character profile of Robert Grove.

'Are you going to write characterisation guides for the entire drama society?' No. I'll be honest: I just wanted an excuse to talk at length about Robert Grove, because he's perfect.


Robert Grove: a character summary. )


Robert's best quality as a friend: he will give generously of his time and effort to fix your problem, or at least to fix what he has decided is your problem. This... may not actually be helpful, but it will at least be well-intentioned.

Robert's worst quality as a friend: he will sleep with your mother, insult your acting and throw you under the bus to play the Dane, and he won't even understand why you're annoyed with him afterwards.


In short, Robert is an egotistic and outspoken man with a passion for theatre, an intense sincerity, a vast capacity for self-absorption, a need to be important, a desire for company and an absolute lack of self-awareness. He's relentlessly loud and dramatic. He will refuse to apologise if he doesn't think he's in the wrong, and he will never think he's in the wrong. He's a nightmare. I love him.

I keep thinking 'okay, I must be out of Goes Wrong ideas now' and then writing more! After seeing The Play That Goes Wrong, I'm really curious about how awkward things were between Annie and the rest of the drama society afterwards.


Title: Cast and Crew
Fandom: The Play That Goes Wrong
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 1,800
Summary: In The Murder at Haversham Manor, Annie finds her calling; she wants to be an actress. After the events of the play, though, her relationship with the drama society might be a little strained.

Media Roundup: Even More Sequential Art

forestofglory: Cup of tea on a pile of books (books)
[personal profile] forestofglory
I was sick for the last three days and couldn’t really look at screens for long, so now I’m so behind on my reading page! I might declare amnesty so if you posted something you’d like me to see let me know!

Meanwhile I have continued reading many graphic novels (and not watching anything) so here are some thoughts on my most recent reads.

Lumberjanes, Vol. 3-7 by N.D. Stevenson and Shannon Watters, et al.— These continue to be very fun! Lots of friendship and adventure, plus I love how colorful they are. The camper who is transitioning from a Scouting Lad to a Lumberjane is also very charming! I’m glad I’m rereading these! (And only a few more volumes until I get to new to me stuff)

Batman: The Golden Age, Vol. 1 by Bill Finger, Bob Kane et al— I have a habit of turning anything I’m interested in into a historical research project of some type. Thus I ended up reading this collection of the very first Batman comics. They are not especially good stories, but it's fun seeing bits of lore that feel essential to Batman slowly being added. The batplane and batarangs both show up before the Batcave and the batmobile! Neither of which showed up in these comics. Bruce just keeps his batman stuff in a chest in a room with windows, and drives around in a normal car. The causal racism in these sure is a lot though.

City of Secrets and City of Illusion by Victoria Ying— fun middle grade steampunk adventures! These are not very dense (not a lot of words on any one page) so they are very fast reads. I enjoyed the art, theirs a good sense of motion and lots of fun gears and things

Doughnuts and Doomby Balazs Lorinczi— A short graphic novel about a witch and a singer who meet by chance when both of them are having a really bad day. This was very cute but it was so short there wasn’t really time to develop the characters or their relationship much

Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson— So I’m not big on contemporary middle grade fiction, because stuff about making new friends, dealing with bullies and other school social dynamics stresses me out most of the time. But several people who I think have good taste recommended this graphic novel about a girl who is not getting along with her best friend and ends up attending a roller derby camp without knowing anyone else there. I’m glad I read it because it was really good!

The Legend of Brightblade by Ethan M. Aldridge— Another graphic novel by Aldridge – this one is about a prince who wants to be a bard. He ends up running away and forming a band. It’s very charming, though definitely not a book that’s thinking critically about monarchy. The art as always with Aldridge is great!

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones is gory historical horror set in 1912 Montana that's in conversation with Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. More importantly, it's both narrative and meta-narrative about settler colonialism and the genocide Americans perpetrated against the indigenous inhabitants of the American West, viewed through a lens of revenge, survival, and atonement. Finally, it shows a long, difficult attempt at justice, requiring sacrifice and suffering along the way.

This review contains spoilers.

For those not well-versed in American history, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz would be good preparation for this novel, or as a readalong.
