Always remember the three G's of the Montague siblings:

i do not need reasons to exist. i do not need to justify the space i take up in this world.

[starlightsugar]

Realizing that all the characters I relate to the most (Vaggie, Blitzø, Henry Montague) are all self loathing pieces of shit who think they’re not worthy of the person they love

Hear me out on this one—

ROUND 1: POLL #9

ROUND 1 POLLS [HERE]

PROPAGANDA BELOW

Vegas Theerapanyakun/Pete Saengtham:

Got loyal bodyguard who will give his life to his mafia boss and the insane villain with daddy issues. NS/FW [SPOILERS] in brackets -> [Pete decides to fuck Vegas because of how sad and pathetic he looked after the sad passing of his pet hedgehog. Vegas eats Pete's ass out in his torture/sex dungeon safehouse that Pete had been a prisoner in up until recently. Vegas is a brutal murderer who kills and tortures like nobody's issue and then cries into his ramen because Pete chose to escape the safehouse instead of staying with him there. Vegas tells Pete he loves him while Pete is in the middle of beating the shit out of him]

Henry "Monty" Montague/Percival “Percy” Newton:

Look these guys manage to be one sided love AND mutual pining AND slow burn despite having their first kiss like 20 pages or so into the first novel. There's a whole novella just about their misadventures trying to have sex for the first time which granted us the insane quote of: "I want to be the only thing touching him. I want to be the only thing that ever touches him again. I will be envious of every shirt he ever wears, the cuffs of his coats, the trousers going soft with wear where they rub his inner thighs."

The Red Death again

I’m re-watching in the desperate hope that I can kickstart my brain again and get the next chapter of fic finished (I have five half written chapters and I thought I was going to be done with this fic in August).

Instead, I’m just pondering why Monty is never one of the suspects.

Putting this under a cut since it discusses the plot in detail.

1: He knew Sir Charles would be there

2: He knows how bad the weather is supposed to be, he is the one who tells Sir Charles to stay at Montague instead of going to London

3: He needs no excuse for walking round his own house or speaking to Sir Charles privately so he has opportunity

4: Finchmore’s motive is all about his father who is Monty’s brother-in-law. Who isn’t related to Felicia so he must have been married to Monty’s sister. So Sir Charles has been sleeping with Monty’s sister and having a scandalous affair to the point her husband found out and killed himself. But nobody questions the link even though there’s a potential motive.

5: Given what we know about Sir Charles later on, the who connection with Monty’s sister could be even worse. Which is also never addressed.

I know he gets a sort of absolution from suspicion from being a regular (even if never previously appearing) but still. It would make a heck of an AU, wouldn’t it?

LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 2, Wave 1, Poll 12

A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included.

Check out the other polls in this wave and prior here.

James ‘Bucky’ Barnes-Marvel

Qualifications:

Missing his arm and commonly headcanoned as gay

Propaganda:

He's Bucket Barnes

Henry ‘Monty’ Montague-The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue

Qualifications:

Canonically bisexual, and, from the end of the first book, deaf in one ear. (More precisely, he only has one ear, there's no other one to be deaf in since it got basically blown off by cannon fire, but regardless he only has functional hearing on one side.)

Propaganda:

Canonically bi, and deaf/hard-of-hearing since near the end of the first book; if I remember correctly, gets more disabled as the series goes on. If you don't know him and you think one of your faves is the ultimate bi disaster, think again. My god is he a loser. And a jerk, at the start. But despite all that, or perhaps through all that, he can be genuinely meaningful representation. Starts out as a miserable nobleman trying to survive his father's homophobic abuse, ends up unattached from his rich parents and living his best queer, disabled life with his boyfriend in freedom.

Begging any of the amazing fan artists in the TGGTVAV / Montague Siblings fandom to re-draw this photo as Percy teaching Monty to play his violin 'cause I've been going insane over it ever since I got this idea in my head and I desperately need to see it, thank you 🙏

[rudolphsboyfriend]

eVeryone shut the fuck up i can't handle it over Monty telling Adrian he is good and brilliant and I'm in tears on the floor and I'm inconsolable

[starlightsugar]

Love him. He only has one ear and he loves his husband and he is such a girlfailure

[butternuggets-blog]

Flambeau receives a note telling him to go to a specific hotel. When he arrives he finds Lord Montague waiting for him with an unexpected proposition: he will pay for Flambeau's every expense from here on out as long as he keeps Felicia happy.

The catch? Monty's money won't be just handed over. Oh no, that would be too easy. If Flambeau wants to collect he's going to have to steal each payment.

And Monty's enlisted the help of Father Brown, in perpetuity, to help stop him.

Who else has their fanfic bound and signed by the author? 😌

This one has both a cover and a dust jacket and I had the honour to meet the author multiple times (Author:em_gray on AO3)

Ngl, to me, Benedict and Eloise Bridgerton are just Henry Monty and Felicity Montague from the Gentlemans guide series in another font (in terms of their respective personalites, not relationship)

I would honestly love if Eloise had a character arc similar to Felicity, given the current direction of her lackluster proto-feminism

Art of Ling Chan by @ace-artemis-fanartist

Ling Chan-The Diviners

Qualifications:

Canonically, she is an asexual lesbian who is partially paralyzed in her legs. She uses crutches for her mobility aids. For her queerness, discovering that part of herself is a major part of her journey, first realizing slowly that she loves women, and then realizing the challenges of being ace in a queer relationship at a time when asexuality isn't widely understood.

Ling contracted "infantile paralysis" (polio) as a child, being that she was born in 1920s New York City before a vaccine was available. As such, she uses crutches and leg braces in order to walk. She is explicitly an asexual lesbian who struggles to balance both of these when neither is well-understood in her time, on top of being Chinese during the period of exclusion.

Propaganda:

She's a very cool, physically disabled ace lesbian who loves science and magic and learns the joys of friendship. She's a dreamwalker who communicates with (and sometimes fights) ghosts, and when another person with a similar power reaches out to her on that basis, and he tries to befriend her moreso than most anyone had before, they become close companions and her world expands. Also, queer solidarity--he's gay and that helps her realize she is too, since she'd had limited exposure to the idea of queerness before that.

My absolute baby. A grumpy gal who can only walk when in dreams. She falls in love with a girl who she thinks is a dreamwalker like her but turns out to be a vengeful ghost. She struggles to be with her chorus girl girlfriend because she's sexual but Ling isn't. Canon dialogue > "Which actor would you like to be with?" "Mae West." "No, romantically." "Yes." An icon with good taste Mae West is hot

Henry ‘Monty’ Montague-The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue

Qualifications:

Canonically bisexual, and, from the end of the first book, deaf in one ear. (More precisely, he only has one ear, there's no other one to be deaf in since it got basically blown off by cannon fire, but regardless he only has functional hearing on one side.)
