A movie full of historical inaccuracies. But it’s filmed about our modern-day times as if it’s from the future. The fashion is all over the place from the 60s to our modern-day style. There’s a little newspaper boy waving an iPad shouting: “Hot Take! Fresh Hot Takes!”, self-flying cars that look like they’re from the 80s. Everyone is typing messages on giant 90s phones. The moon-landing is constantly mentioned as if it’s a big deal in everyone’s every-day life because The Future Film-makers don’t understand that 50 years were a long time in the past too, meanwhile someone is like: “But we will never reach Mars” while talking directly into the camera.

We all assume that Old Adam kidnaps Dame Hannah when Ruthven says to carry off “any lady” because Adam has a crush on Hannah, which is mentioned by the bridesmaids in Act 1.

But it was just pointed out to me that Adam is almost certainly the same age or older than Hannah.  It’s likely he lived in the village of Reddering most of his life, possible he even worked for the Murgatroyds since he was a young man- if Ruthven had hired him after running away, Adam would probably not know that Robin was Ruthven in disguise.  I assume Adam knew about young Ruthven’s plan to fake his own death to avoid the title, and followed him to keep an eye on him or something.  And honestly, his suggestions for crimes in Act 2 suggest that maybe this isn’t his first time being Evil Henchman.

  Which means Adam very probably KNOWS that Hannah and Roderick were engaged 40 years ago and broke up when the previous ancestor died and Roddy had to go away to be the Bad Baronet.  So maybe Adam brought her there knowing she’d have to talk to Roderick and perhaps clear up some past misunderstandings.

(Any basses reading this who have played Old Adam and would like to weigh in on his motivations, please do.  Or non-basses who just like Ruddygore :))

I really like the notion of Old Adam just…masterminding everything

There really needs to be Ruddigore fic, because the ending leaves the village with a population that suddenly includes quite a lot of former ghosts, and aside from the legal and practical issues — is the place going to end up overrun with eager historians? ( “I was to busy trying to think up my daily crime, sirrah, to pay any attention to the damn mealy-mouthed politics of the age!”)

Had another followup with the doc…she had me take one more diagnosis questionnaire thing related to the social anxiety

“Very severe” was the top of the scale and was marked at “95 and above”

I scored a 97

So I was just…fucking laughing when she came back in because I’d been awake for like 24 hours at that point and it was that stage where everything is hilarious.  I was like “I’m surprised your machine didn’t catch fire!”

And she said she had to take it herself the other day…and got a 95 lmao.  It was just the funniest thing bc the first time I met her she seemed so nervous and neither of us ever maintain eye contact so I knew she had some issues of her own but lol

We just sat there laughing hysterically for a few minutes.

Go team lol
