Rik Mayall - Tumblr Posts
Late happy birthday to Rik, we love you.
Rik Mayall (March 7, 1958 - June 9, 2014 ∞ )
“You go out there and have a fucking good life.” [x]
I missed his birthday u___u so I made a set to remember him today – You were gross and weird and wonderful, love you always Rik x
The most chaotic pair of pirates in the history of fiction 😝
And since I tagged him, here's my boy Kev. 😁
Pirate shenanigans. WIP.
Love this guy. Reminds me of the Rick Pratt (The Young Ones) vampire that I did. He had such itty bitty fangs. 🤣
ten seconds away from making a poshe shimeji/desktop buddy
Random slash nonsense 😝
Rik Mayll being Rik Mayall and Voltaire being more Rik than I've ever seen anyone who isn't Rik be 🤣🤣
Still shaking...
Had a scare yesterday. My Scrivner Rik/V fic file disappeared off my computer and OneDrive. Fortunately Scrivner has a back up feature so I could restore it but the thought of losing over 100K words of fic shook me so bad I'm still shuddering at the thought. 😅
I like shoes and boots. Like, a lot. And in my quest for perfection on that front I have twice been able to acquire a "fandom pair". And in both cases mine are black while the originals are red.
On the one hand Voltaires red Hamburger Fluevogs (late eighties) and on the other Rick Pratt's (The Young Ones TV series) Goliaths (early eighties). These are my babies. 😝
For their age both pairs are in excellent condition (I'm not sure the Fluevogs were ever worn before I got them!) and I look forwards to enjoying them for many years to come. 👢👢
My experience is similar. Except a little bit longer ago. I was working for a summer in Helsinki and decided to go visit my penfriend who lived in Vaasa. We chat about zines and demos and stuff and have some beers and then he says "Hey, I know, we'll watch something." And we watched Bottom. And yeah, nothing changed except everything. It was exactly like that.
So, it's occurred to me that it's now been about 5 years (it was late December, around Christmastime) since the night I caught an episode of Bottom (Holy) and went down a Rik Mayall rabbit hole. I always talk about that evening as being "fateful", even though that sounds extremely pretentious. I mean, what exactly has happened or changed because of that?
Well, nothing really. Except everything.
Oh wow, I had forgotten that existed 🤣
Okay but WHY THE FUCK does Lancelot look like he's flipping the bird at someone!?
Fun Fact:
Today is the midway between the birthdays of Aurelio Voltaire and Rik Mayall, my two biggest obsessions of all time ever and ever like the cosmos approves, thank you.
you were so beautiful... 😭😭
The man who owns the other half of my brain would have been 66 today. He left us ten years ago and it still hurts. I always imagine all the shenanigans he could have racked up in a decade. Fortunately there is a lot to enjoy in his lifes work. I hope you're shaking up the afterlife, you magnificent fucking bastard.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
«We kind of lived our lifes in each other's pockets for so long. And I would say to anyone, who's my generation, who's got a male friend, the thing we never did was tell each other that we loved each other. And it's a huge regret. We used to sort express love through writing each other's characters. I loved Richie, he loved Eddie, [...] If you're a man born in the 50s and rather crippled emotionally like most of us are, and you've got a best friend, just tell him you love him.»
Well that's better than what I got when I went to see Harry Potter at the movie theatre for Rik Mayall... 😒
Never seen an episode of Midsomer murders in my life but wanted to watch for The Rik Mayall, hoping for a completely different outcome from what I got😭
