    Summary

    (Harrumph. Tap-tap. Is this working? okay)

    So what you'll find here is a collection of uuuh literary analyses of Robert Plant's original lyrics from the 70s to current times. The idea behind it is that Robert has been writing about his epic love story with Jimmy Page...

    (*shuffling of chairs and rumble of footsteps as the audience stampedes for the nearest exit in a panic*)

    ... Oookay. So. The three brave souls remaining, with enough curiosity and open-mindedness (or enough "poor girl, she's tried so hard") to give me a chance. Gather round, bit closer.

    What I was saying. Robert Plant has been writing about his epic love story with Jimmy Page in his songs since forever. It's really not that subtle. All it takes to see it is considering "so what if it was real" and have a quick look.

    But since I've found symbols, metaphors, recurring themes, connections and callbacks all over the place, I'd like to tell you about them. I've done the work, so you don't have to.

    The conclusion is (spoilers) yes, Jimbert is hella real, it's not platonic, it's colossal, it's fucking beautiful... and it's alive.

    Intrigued yet? Come on board mateys, we're going sailing.

    Summary

    “What is your favorite journey?”
    “Marrakech to the Algerian border.”
    “For any particular reason?”
    “Yeah, just the way the landscape changes and the humor of the people and…it’s just infinite landscape, beautiful.”
    “What, or who, is the greatest love of your life?"
    “…Oh, my goodness me. Uh—I can’t go there…

    BBC Radio 2 Jo Whiley interview with Robert Plant, July 10, 2021

     

    Days went by when you and I bathed in eternal summer’s glow
    As far away and distant, our mutual child did grow

    Summary

    The Farm Frolics AU (also affectionately known as the Welsh Fuck Cottage AU) is a joint project by bron_yr_aur and LuxeApocalypse. The result of many long, agonized conversations about Jimmy and Robert’s fate and how we could change it in fiction, the series seeks to answer the following questions: what if there was no accident in 1975 and the planned tax exile and ensuing world tour proceeded uninterrupted? What if Jimmy and Robert decided to go all in and shack up together in a love nest in the hills of Wales? Can a dog person and a cat person live together and make it work? What happens when they both become goat people?

    There’ll be fun, frolics, fucking, and farm animals (the latter two NOT at the same time, thank fuck…) Silly adventures, occult mishaps, cuddly domesticity and lots of love. Also a touch of bittersweetness early on, but that doesn’t last long.

    This series is a work forged from our own demented imaginings, and written entirely out of admiration and love. We wish to make it clear that certain tragic events do not happen in this universe, and we will therefore refrain from going into detail regarding the whats, hows and whys, out of respect for the individuals concerned.
