Read it here! If smackjeeves pulls itself together any time today I’ll upload it there too but it seems like it’s still down rn.

Anonymous asked: scrolling back through all your posts like a boss I noticed you mention you partly based RGB's physique off figure ice skaters, so... can he ice skate?
Well that’s partly true; RGB’s build has influence from a lot of places, but the gist was for him to be short, elegantly proportioned and athletic. He also has quite dynamic movement, so researching figure skaters made a lot of sense. As for the question, yes! But he’s better at and prefers roller skating (blades on shoes- no thanks).
Some people have been asking for links to hear what Number 6 from The Prisoner sounds like and there’s a few audio clips over here.
I particularly recommend the ‘but I don’t run on clock work’ line and 'isn’t it different?/I will not make any deals with you’ clips to see what I mean with it being RGB-esque :D
Ooh, cool question, yay. Well, in a universe where everything is possible and time doesn’t exist, my first choice would be Patrick McGoohan. I know all of you are going ‘bwuh’ but if you’ve heard of the 1960’s tv show called ‘The Prisoner’ he played the main character, number six.
He just has that perfect clipped BBC accent that can sound absolutely insufferable but still dapper, also RGB is ever so slightly influenced by number six, so there’s that.
If I had to pick someone from the modern realm, I have a feeling that Colin Firth would do a fantastic job. For one he’s got the right maturity to his voice, and has great vivacity, but he can also do that wonderful blustering stammer, which would be perfect for RGB’s pomposity.
People keep asking me as to my own headcanon for RGB’s voice so I dug this out of the grave for you :’D
Also since then someone suggested John Cleese and gosh darn if he wouldn’t be an excellent candidate as well, so yeah a big push in that direction of outrageously-proper-but-somehow-intrinsically-hilarious voice quality.
