I've joined a forum by mistake. Are you the moderator?

[petrichor_fizz]

 How DARE they? Of course Withnail is a homosexual! Can anybody truly be this obtuse?

I don't care how much trivia you know, nor how many locations you've visited; if you can't pick up on such simple subtext then you're no true fan.

Oh God.  I hate things. NO MORE WINE.

PS. OH JESUS GOD, OF FUCKING COURSE HE'S A MEMBER. OF COURSE HE WOULD BE. OH SHIT

Well, yes, fair enough, let's not leap to any conclusions. He may not have been gay. But he was in love with Marwood, quite, quite clearly, even if the form that love took was selfish and perverse.

[petrichor_fizz]

Oh, I'm agreeing with you, by the way. I just read it back and it sounded like I wasn't. Sorry. I'm on a cocktail of wine and heartbreak. Not at my most cogent.

[apiphile]

Y HALO THAR NUMBER ONE REASON I NEVER GET INVOLVED IN ACTUAL FANDOMS. :D

Come and have some of my wine. It is happy wine and it makes Stephen Fry appear on TV (don't argue, I speak the truth).

[petrichor_fizz]

I BELIEVE YOU AND I WILL PARTAKE OF YOUR WINE.

I'm Getting Involved now. I can't help it. Is it stalking to secretly be on the same forum as your ex without necessarily revealing your identity? Does that count? If you don't do anything sinister, just talk about things? You should join too. Give me some fucking moral support. I'm "Fizz".

He hasn't posted for fucking ages anyway. He's probably died.

Oh God.

[apiphile]

*brandishes a bottle* I get the feeling you're going to need this if you keep stalking conversing with your ex like that.

Get involved? Get involved? Somewhere where people are still questioning Withnail's obsessive and damaging infatuation with Marwood? I think not, the stupid would probably kill me. I'd have an aneurysm as I tried to figure out WTF was happening in their little brains.

Er, seriously. Don't keep prodding old wounds. It makes them go all manky.

[petrichor_fizz]

I'M NOT CONVERSING WITH HIM. I'M CONVERSING NEAR HIM.

Please, for god's sake, don't leave me alone with these people.

I like my wound. It's a good wound.

THIS IS WHY I CAN'T USE JOSS WHEDON RELATED SITES. HE IS THERE AND HIS NEW WIFE IS THERE. AND HE DOESN'T CAPITALIZE HIS 'I'S, AND HE MISUSES COMMAS, SO THERE IS THIS MIX OF "WHY DO I STILL FLIP WHEN I SEE YOUR NAME?" AND "OH MY GOD THE SHAME."

[petrichor_fizz]

YES! YES! EXACTLY! IN FACT T'S GRAMMAR/SPELLING/ETC ARE IMPECCABLE, BUT THERE ARE LITTLE IRKSOME TRAITS THAT HE HAS WHICH MAKE ME THINK "YOU'RE NOTHING SPECIAL AT ALL," BUT AT THE SAME TIME ALL I WANT IS FOR HIM TO NOTICE ME AGAIN. BECAUSE HE WAS MINE. I WAS GOING TO MAKE A SAINT EXUPERY REFERENCE BUT I'M DRUNK. NOT AS DRUNK AS I SHOULD BE THOUGH.

OH YES. I JUST REMEMBERED I HAD WHISKEY.

[kiwi_from_hell]

I AM NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST BIT DRUNK AND FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR.

AND DAMN THE STUPID ON THAT SITE. WITHNAIL IS SO GAY I ALMOST PEED MY PANTS. LOL AT THE ZAPRUDER FILM REFERENCE, FOR LIKE THAT TRULY HOLDS A CONSPIRACY OF GOVERNMENT ASSASSINATION, SO DOTH WITHNAIL CONTAIN A CONSPIRACY OF GAY.

AND I WISH I WASN'T ALREADY IN CAPS, SO THIS NEXT BIT MUST BE IMAGINED EVEN MORE SHOUTY: YES 'NOR WOMEN NEITHER' WAS A LINE IN HAMLET. ACT II SCENE II.

[apiphile]

YES 'NOR WOMEN NEITHER' WAS A LINE IN HAMLET. ACT II SCENE II.

SERIOUSLY WHO FUCKING DOESN'T KNOW THAT. *flail*

[karaokegal]

MORE LOVE AND HUGS AND SUPPORT!!!! If I could "delete" any references, hints, allusions or sightings of him from your life ever again, I would do it. (And I hope you would do the same to FSM for me.)

[petrichor_fizz]

THANK YOU. Of course I would. If it were definitely what you wanted. In my case, the torture of it is almost better than nothing, but then I'm a freak.

I should have known. I just go looking for trouble, really. God damn it.

[karaokegal]

I WISH TO NEVER SEE THAT USERNAME AGAIN...unless of course I get everything I want. In the meantime I'm going back and removing all mention from old postings. I'm a vindictive wench, I am.

[petrichor_fizz]

Gah. I know that feeling well.

Incidentally, my flatmate just had to call the police because a group of guys was trying to get in. I have no idea about the details, and I'm attempting to stay out of it, but it's not exactly reassuring. At one point someone was shouting "are you from London? You're not from London, you're not shit". I fucking hate this flat.

That was apropos of nothing, but it's freaking me ever so slightly.

[emeriin]

I feel kind of guilty for this as I came here through apiphile but OF COURSE HE'S GAY! I mean, come on, if Robinson can say he's a 'quasi-homo' (at the very least) and McGann/Brown can behave like slash-obsessed fangirls and even Richard loved putting the gay spin on lines, they have no fucking reason to deny it.

And now I'll be slinking away quietly.

[petrichor_fizz]

Please don't, I like you already.

What irritates me is that one of their arguments is "Bruce says he isn't". Trust the teller, not the tale! Have you never read 'The Intentional Fallacy'?!

Oddly, that's the second time in two days I've said that, and I've not actually read it yet, but... um... at least I know the gist.

[emeriin]

Even before I read that Empire quote, Bruce saying 'If they were a real couple, they'd be shagging onscreen by now' on his commentary is a very *odd* way of saying 'Of course they're not gay, now never mention it to me again.'

And if the actors jump on every bit of evidence that Withnail is as queer as a brightly decorated christmas tree, there is no way in hell that we shouldn't do the same.

[petrichor_fizz]

I suppose one argument you COULD make is that Withnail is asexualised to such a degree that he can't really be said to have any orientation as such. But that's stretching it a bit, I reckon.
