Presented by Leather Etc, the online leader in leather and fetish wear. Just ask Guy of Gisborne!
Some how, I've managed to upload ninety images into my Photobucket account, when I thought this would be a baby picspam with a few LOLZ.
Oh, New, Campy Show with S&M undertones. How I misjudged thee.
Now where the hell do I begin?
Probably with this dude, natch. See, that's the thing - I find Robin extremely boring. He's a whingy, pre-emo kid with the gift of kick ass archery skillz; he treats his best friend like shit and looks awful when he cries.
Paging John Connor! John Connor, Robin's stealing your mojo, John Connor!
He does, however, hang out with some the coolest bitches in Sherwood Forest, all of whom are infinitely more interesting than him. Roll Call!
Djaq is lovely. And a lady.
Will is disgustingly cute. And in love with Djaq, awwwww.
Roy was very underused. And had a brother. Then died.
Allan is aroused.And potentially a SPY
WHOA DUDE, AND, LIKE, TOTALLY PSYCHEDELIC! The Doors start playing
Little John is kick-ass and a family man. Allan continues to be aroused and/or psychedelic.
And Much?
Much is the most wonderful character ever characterised. Why? Because he understands the importance of friendship.
And he's not afraid to pay homage to Robin Hood: Men in Tights and their homage to Home Alone. Meta-meta-much. That's how cool he is.
When they're not, y'know, stealing from the rich for the poor, the Merry Gang usually stand around and wait for Robin to a) crack out of his emo pain b) go slightly insane so they can punch him (Little John, I'm looking at you) c) be mean to them and still follow him to the pits of death/Nottingham d) a good meal.
Alright, Robin's not really that annoying. He works towards the ultimate goal of this show with gusto - to bring as much crack in as little time possible. Take the time he fought a bunch of the Sheriff's guards. While holding a baby.
Natch.
The show's also highly anachronistic - in it's costuming especially. The use of an American Army uniform with the above character was terrific, as are Robin's vaguely eighteen-year-old-boy-of-today hoodies and shoes.
Although Marian's fairly-obviously machine-knitted fluro yellow cardigan? Possibly a bit of an eye-dart on the shoulders of the wardrobing department. Or Lucy was cold, whatever. Anachronisms! A Knight's Tale!
Did I mention Marian? Lady Marian, to be exact, and she's MEANT TO BE with Robin. She's usually the source of a lot of his emo pain, and is generally awesome, spunky, manipulative, fun, a bitch and did I mention manipulative, because, yo, bitch is.
And who does she manipulate the most?
Guy of Gisborne, come on down! As well as forcing Marian to love him, Guy loves:
1. Being tied up in the forest by Robin Hood
2. Brooding in corners
3. All forms of leather and activities involving it, especially when he can turn The Hot on
4. Pina coladas and walks in the rain
5. Glaring at guest stars/people who talk more than him/have stupid plans/aren't Marian/Marian occasionally
6. Pretending he's in a remake of Michael Bay's awesome hit Bad Boys, with The Sheriff in Martin Lawrence's role
7. Being tied up in the forest byRobin Hood anyone, really.
Needless to say? Him and Marian? Kinkiest OTP since Gyllenhaal/Spader-cum-Secretary. But that's for our pic spam tomorrow, chaps.
Why? Because this pic spam needs to be rounded out in the best way possible - with a little Sheriff.
Thank you kindly, The Sheriff of Nottingham is fucking awesome. He's fruity, sarcastic, evil, throws Festivals of Pain, is inappropriately appropriate to boys and girls, hates everyone, loves everyone, wants to make your head in to an ink well and, oh, yeah, is Lily Allen's dad.
There is no part of this man that doesn't make me dance with glee.
His loathing of women often gets in the way of Guy's Favourite Things (here being brooding, being in corners and leather), but he's always on hand to dispense his own delightful form of advice.
"LEPERS, GISBORNE. LEPERS." It will take all my self-control not to get that tattooed on me.
He even whips out the sternum bush, ladies!
Now that's a real man.
(Okay, okay. I should stop and explain that it's not that I don't like Robin, I just don't rank him highly when we have a sociopathic Sheriff who screams with laughter at the agony of his people, an extremely repressed, slightly insane, bad-choice making, leather-bondage loving dude who's more handsome than life, a female protagonist who tries hard to pretend she's not attracted to said dude but is failing (BADLY) and a "servant" who's got more heart and soul than Samwise Gamgee on Ecstasy to adore instead. Y'know? Priorities.)
There are a lot of guest stars from the British film industry, too. Look,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
baggers! It's Vampire from The Bill! (he dies.)
And really. How could I hate a show that ends the season like this, freeze framed?
Oh yes. They went there. And I blessed the BBC for making the television equivalent of high-grade street cocaine available forever and ever.
Next Time on the Robin Hood Picspam:
Brooding!
Weddings!
Guy lovin' the kinky shit!
You know you want it.
*jumps in the air and freeze frame*
And I do know how the show ends, blokes, but I live in this wonderful world where AUs are awesome. Much like The Sheriff. Oh, Sheriff.
