Re: What Does Jeeves Symbolize?

For myself, I don't see him as particularly masculine, either physically or in personality. I have noticed that a lot of fics portray him as a big strapping manly man, which is not really my type anyway. I see him as tall but with a more average body type, not especially physically fit, a bit more effeminate, metrosexual basically. I agree about finding his domestic competence inherently sexy, but I've always been into men who are more androgynous/blurring traditional gender lines, so it doesn't need to contrast with him being extra masc to be attractive.

Also in fic Bertie is often described as extremely thin, but I see him as a little more solid than that. An otter, not a twink! More masculine than Jeeves in some ways and less in other ways.

I also usually read Jeeves as not being very sexual experienced. He just seems too reserved/prude/proper to have done a ton of philandering. Although with this topic and all others, I'm open to other interpretations and really enjoy hearing people's different perspectives!

I agree about Bertie. In canon he describes himself as willowy; another character envies how well he looks in clothes. I like "an otter, not a twink"!

I also recently read the story where Rocky borrows his evening clothes and is apparently several sizes too big for them, even though Rocky is never described as a particularly large guy. So Bertie's definitely slender-ish, I just don't see any evidence that he's actually, like, scrawny.

I think of Jeeves as being sexually experienced. For one thing, he's been a servant in a large household where all sorts of things are got up to. Perhaps he's too reserved for philandering, but I assume he knows enough to handle himself well in the bedroom.

But I don't think of him as being as brilliant about sex as he is about everything else. If someone else wants to read him that way, well, more fun reading for me!

I agree about Jeeves not being muscular and hyper-masculine: I don't view him as particularly fit or imposing. But I do see him as sexually experienced. He just seems to understand himself so well, and accept everything about himself.

And to me Bertie is a Pure Twink hahaha The twinkiest twink that ever twinked (which, if I'm being perfectly honest, is 100% my type!)

But of course this is all just personal headcanon!

What is a twink?

From Wikipedia:
Twink is gay slang for a young man in his late teens to early twenties whose traits may include: general physical attractiveness; little to no body or facial hair; a slim to average build; and a youthful appearance that belies an older chronological age.
