#the ask box

[thelesbiandeli]

I wish I could have ALL the lgbtq headcanons for Monty and Charlie… but, whichever ones you feel like doing are fine too

You’re my new favourite person this is exactly the ask I wanted :D

1. Sexuality headcanon

Monty- Pansexual <3

Charles- Gay

2. Gender headcanon

Monty- Trans man! 

Charles- Cis Man

3. When did you start having these hcs?

Monty- Both the Trans and Pan thing came from reading fics, so probably a month after seeing the show?

Charles- I knew he was gay the first word he said. That little giggled ‘I know’ when he meets Monty,,,,,,,, Sean gave me the easiest headcanon ever

(I would like to note that during the interval I had to pull up Ao3 to make sure I wasn’t delusional because I was SO SURE they were gonna kiss at some point)

4. Has your headcanons changed? What did you have as a hc before? 

Monty- I saw him as Gay, then as Bi, before settling on Pan 

Charles- he’s been gay from the moment I laid eyes on him <3

5. When did they realize their sexuality?

Monty- Probably during a night out, ended up in a gay bar by accident and just rolled with it. Had a crisis in the morning but oh well <3

Charles- Has the realisation while Monty has his tongue down his throat. Also had a crisis in the morning

6. If not cis, when did they realize this?

Monty- Very early into childhood, because he’s from a rich family his parents did the thing of ‘our daughter? She died of influenza, very sad very sad. On another note, I don’t think you’ve met our other son, Ewen. He’s been staying with family abroad, but he’s back home now :)’

7. Has there been some early signs in their childhood? 

Monty- Had a shoebox of pictures of men ‘for research’, and definitely had many magazines that were not age appropriate 

Charles- never considered that he may be gay, but was bullied by most the boys he knew and wasn’t interested in the girls so he hung out with his sisters and researched animals he liked instead of talking to people

8. Did someone else know before they knew themselves? 

Monty- Ivor and probably some of the men at MI5 knew before he did (watching him go after every man he found hot at a bar was a hint) but only Ivor really thought about it properly

Charles- most of the Mincemeat team figure it out before him (he ignores it for AGES then the realisation hits him like a truck)

9. Who did they come out to first? 

Monty- Probably Ivor (who used all of his efforts not to go ‘no shit’ in return)

Charles- Either his sister (Victoria), who hugged him and sat with him all evening (she knows how much internalised homophobia he’s full of)(it’s the 1940s and self loathing is my favourite thing to give to a character) or Jean (explained in the next question)

10. Was there anyone they “accidentally” came out to? (they just casually mentioned it and forgot the other didn’t know, or someone overheard when they said it)

(Both of them accidentally came out to Jean to me. She’s so fed up with these two)

Monty- came out to Jean on one of their nights out (either getting receipts for Bill or while she’s trying to get information out of him). He got really drunk and ended up babbling about how he wished Charlie was there too

Charles- Got in a massive argument with Jean just after she gets kicked off the team where she goes ‘god, how can you even STAND him, he’s arrogant and selfish and a narcissistic asshole-‘ and Charles yells ‘BECAUSE I LOVE HIM’ and they just stand there in silence while they both stand in shock about what he’s just said

11. The easiest person to come out to?

Monty- Ivor (can you tell that I love them being brothers)

Charles- ????? Honestly idk (I can’t imagine a scenario where it’s easy for him)

12. The hardest person to come out to?

Monty- His parents :D (they’re not happy with it but they’re supportive in the way of putting a lot of money and effort into keeping it under wraps as to not ruin their social standing. Monty has thousands of pounds worth of perfectly tailored suits)

Charles- Himself :)

13. Someone they never came out to?

Monty- the rest of the lads at MI5. None of them talk about ‘personal’ stuff (which also means they don’t pry when one of them runs off with someone they ‘shouldn’t’)

Charles- His mother!! (I’m torn because I always imagined him living alone with his mother, but I recently learned that he was likely living in an apartment with his cool as fuck lesbian sister, so I’m still deciding)

14. Do they have an LGBTQ+ role model? (could either be a celeb or a person they know personally that they look up to)

Monty- He’s got this idealised version of himself that he’s been creating in his head since he was 10 that he desperately wants to be

Charles- also Monty

15. What is their favorite queer movie?

Monty- if asked he would say Brokeback Mountain, but it’s actually But I’m A Cheerleader

Charles- The Half of It (he would love a partner who’s an intellectual equal like Ellie and Aster are, but unfortunately he’s attracted to Ewen Montagu instead)

(Can you tell I mainly watch lesbian films)

17. How good of a gaydar do they have?

Monty- it’s not that he has a good Gaydar, he’s just a magnet for queer people

Charles- Average Gaydar, but overthinks it too much to be sure

18. Another sexuality headcanon you think can make sense for them?

Charles- I feel like AroAce Charles (specifically George!Charles because I get the Vibes off him) would be so fun because of all of his eye rolls and being fed up at Monty’s flirting with Jean

19. Another gender headcanon you think can make sense for them? 

Monty- well Cis man seems obvious but eeeh

Charles- I feel like you could fit a decent amount of gender fuckery into him but I cba lol

20. What would they wear at a pride parade?

(I’m taking this to mean in a modern au sense)

Monty- Modern au Monty would be an absolute peacock of a man, would go all out with a mesh shirt and body paint, and his outfits would correspond with various pride flags

Charles- as much as I love David’s extravagant slutty outfits, I think Charlie would be into some subtle rainbow button ups or Hawaiian shirts. Someone would hand him a flag too. He would have a great time for about an hour then leave because the crowd stressed him out <3

Thank you so much for this ask!! Literally the dream question for when I’m being especially insane about this show rn

[fallers-georg]

Yeah hi. Guess you’ve run into another one-Hello!

My name’s grace, and I fought god once! :D

~ @trainergraceneedstherapy

... Sorry, what

I - wow I really need to stop being surprised at these stories at some point, after the kid that claimed to be a god. Uh.

Nice to meet you, Grace? I guess? I'm Aki.

What's your Headcanons about Canon Lucy steel ?

i have a few here! but i can drop a few more.

☆ i think she's a bit uncomfortable around adults she doesn't know, especially post-sbr. sure, she'll talk to them and she'll be polite around them, but she won't be jumping at the chance to spend a substantial amount of time around them.

☆ at the same time, lucy feels a sense of distance between herself and her peers that at her age. she's been treated as an adult for a substantial part of her life, and thus feels like she can't relate to typical teenage struggles. she likely does want to reach out, especially since steven tries to encourage it, but finds it too difficult.

☆ she has mild hemophobia; a fear of blood. she can't stand being around it, and the scent's even worse for her.

☆ after the race, i think she would start going to school. steven can easily pay for her education, and she decides to take advantage of it. it gives her a sense of normalcy to latch onto, even if some people recognize her.

☆ she comes back into contact with her family at some point! she's missed them dearly.. but at the same time, they all sense there's something different about her. they can't quite figure out what it is.

☆ i think that sometimes she grapples with the thought that she's killed people. she never thought about it in the moment since she was running on pure adrenaline, but she crashes hard. she's fourteen. and i don't think she'd be that already about it.

☆ honestly, with everything that's happened to her.. she probably tries to avoid romantic relarionships for the most part, at least until she fully trusts a person. she doesn't often get crushes on people. and when people crush on her, she tries her hardest to let them down gently. she tries to protect herself and her peace a lot more as she ages.

no way you're playing life is strange??? which episode are you on or have you finished it yet? fun fact it was lis1's 10 year anniversary exactly a week ago on the 30th and i was thinking to myself that i need to replay it sometime because it's been years (though i'm worried it'll be terrible for my laptop since i don't have a pc eee). sounds like you're enjoying it though this is exciting

@daggery HIIII YES I AM 💖 I finished LIS a couple weeks ago and now I'm playing Before The Storm! I noticed it was only like $15 for the bundle of the two on Switch and I was actually thinking about how I had seen you reblogging about the game before so I decided why not, let's check this out... and then I became obsessed dsajkjgkd

At first, I was just like "oh, this is neat!" and then like "gay?? gay???? hehe yes gay love wins <3" and then........ screaming crying lots of whispering "what the FUCK" and just... enjoying every moment of the absolute INSANE emotional journey that whole story put me through.

I went into Before The Storm thinking I could not possibly be hurt more by these lesbians AND THEN RACHEL SHOWED UP. LIKE. This game fr needs to pay for my therapy because... now when I replay LIS after I finish BTS, it's going to hurt EVEN MORE than the first time...

Anyway, it's amazing djsakjkgd. Chloe is my fave. She's SO Mal coded?? Like damn. I took one look at her and went "MAL." She's my darling, I love her. Angry teenage girl rights. <3 I made all my decisions with extreme bias toward her and I would do it again lmao

A very, very explicit show or film is being announced - who would you want to see in it?

How explicit are we talking 😏

I’ll always advocate Richard Madden for some intense gay stuff 😂

Hey, glad that you are back! So, random question regarding your Gravity Falls: The Triplet Trials Series…are you continuing the comic or canceling it to make new content?

Hey, @18starkitten ! To answer your question, I'm going to rewrite the comic because I can't remember the old script and the old designs look a bit terrible. I mean, Ash literally looks a bit like a Robbie Clone/Weird Mary Sue! And speaking of Ash, here's her new design!

what would be your dream Waluigi game?

My dream game would be for him to be included in a mainline Super Mario game like Super Mario Bros or the Mario and Luigi games where he gets to play a major role as a side character

[psychicmayhem]

Hello buddy how are you doing

[mydaroga]

what do you think of the BBC Sherlock?

I'm so glad you asked, Nonny! (Though you might not be. We'll see!) And I'm curious what made you do so, but here goes.

My feelings are complicated. I love Sherlock Holmes. I've loved Sherlock Holmes in some form since I was 9 years old (that's like, 1988 for those of you keeping score at home). My undergrad thesis was about how we've used this character in various forms throughout the decades to tell different stories about ourselves. So I'm really into reframing and rehashing these stories.

So when it started, I loved BBC Sherlock. I thought Cumberbatch was electric, and even more I loved how Freeman actually gave me a new lease on Watson that I hadn't really felt before. I really enjoyed the first series and some of the second. I felt that it was a really interesting update, that it did a great job of integrating case elements into a new idiom, it was stylish and fun. But I soon became disenchanted with elements I later realized I saw in a lot of Moffat's work: his idolization of assholery, his insistence all women be Moms or Dommes, his thing where all gay couples have weird power imbalances built in, and generally I felt as it went on it got further from what I had enjoyed about it to begin with.

But I do want to stress that BBC Sherlock is hugely important not simply because of what it is in itself, but what it's brought me and the fandom. New blood is essential, and a lot of people kept loving Sherlock but also entered the larger Holmesian world. It brought me my lovely ex-roommate, @strangelock. It led me to a local Sherlock Holmes society I attend every month, with new friends and community. It probably got society more into Holmes such that unrelated to BBC, Holmes plays got put on I got to be in, actually playing Sherlock Holmes himself; a dream I never knew I was allowed to have. It reignited my love of Holmes such that I have parlayed it into a film class and new writing.

I am going to stop there, because I could go on forever, but if you would like elaboration on any of that I'm clearly happy to expound.

monty for the character opinion bingo?

YAAAYAY COLE ASK!!! :D

Augh I hate him so much 💖

[fallers-georg]

Sorry, someone claimed to be a god?

Uh. Yyyyep. That was a weird one. His name was... Apollo, I think be said? I wonder if he's still in town. He seemed sorta distracted, like. Constantly.

Any Headcanons of Barbara interacting with Lucy

I would like to think of Barbara forcing Jodio to have a picture with Lucy

let's see...

i think lucy's pretty attached to barbara ann. she doesn't have a mother figure of her own, so barbara ann is that for her. she always makes sure to say hello to her whenever they see each other!!

barbara ann thinks lucy's a sweetheart!! she comes over after school pretty often, so that's usually when they talk. she's the type of mom to ask when she's coming over, even if lucy came by the previous day. what can she say? compared to say, paco, she much prefers lucy's presence.

she's a little embarrassing sometimes. like, yes she'll ask for a bunch of pictures before they head out on a date or even to prom. yes she'd chaperone for them. lucy doesn't mind it so much, surprisingly enough. she realizes it's just barbara ann's way of showing she cares, and making her feel welcome.

I didn’t realize you were the person who did the fanfiction tag drinks.

ahah yeah that's meeee!!

They are all available as stickers on my RedBubble shop!

Also I did Part 2!

[many-sparrows]

I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.

are you paying attention to surprise songs? what songs would be your #1s?

I absolutely am paying attention to them. I have come to realise that I'm not a fan of the mash-ups but clearly she likes them so it's all good. I do just think that if she's never performed them live (like TTPD etc) that they shouldn't be mashed up.

As for dream surprise songs; I will die if she does Hoax, Exile, Message In A Bottle, Innocent, Black Dog
