Don’t forget this one 🤭

tzp in “protective mode”:

Currently writing a parents!firstprince fic, which you can read here.

I asked on Chapter 3 of the fic, but I wanted to ask here, too.

I wanna know what are your baby names for Alex and Henry’s children.

Mine are:

Arthur Claremont-Diaz Fox (boy)

Eleanor Claremont-Diaz Fox (girl)

Did you noticed this dialogue change from the RWRB books?

“Listen,” Henry is saying, heated, over the phone on a Thursday night. “I don’t give a damn what Joanne has to say, Remus John Lupin is gay as the day is long, and I won’t hear a word against it.”

“Listen,” Henry is saying, heated, over the phone on a Thursday night. “The desire to trot it out as one of our greatest literary achievements does not preclude the fact that Bram Stoker was gay as the day is long, and that Dracula is essentially a work of queer erotica. If anything, that makes the book even more important.”

Happy Valentine's Day!

RWRB TEXT POSTS: PART 37

i am sorry I had to

When Henry goes "hello?" all quiet and uncertain and Alex goes "baby!"

The instant put-at-ease feel to Henry??? Sobbing. Can't. Won't. My lads!!!!!!! The boys!!!!

I am In My Feels about this like I loved that book and sure the movie isn't quite the same but I am all kinds of emotional

The scene where Henry gets all emotional about the people rallying behind him outside the palace window, it got me GOOD

Like this guy has been so repressed and afraid that no one could possibly love him and accept him for who he is, and there he stands, with the man he loves, supported and loved and a firm part of a loving community

I don't know if it's the queer in me or the giant fan of Henry my beloved but DAMN did that scene get me

So I was watching the RWRB movie recently (SPOILERS) and I happened to notice something that's since rotted my brain, so. Here it is.

Isn't it interesting how the only key Alex realistically needs is the one that let's him into his home, while the only key Henry owns is the one that gets him out of his?

My poor British son that's all I'm saying

I went to buy pajamas and found this. My first thought was "This is what Alex and Henry would wear to a sleepover"

nick put his heart and SOUL into henry like seeing so much more Henry pov in the movie…his facial expressions were just so devastating and he really played to the fact that Henry is such a deeply emotional person with so much fear and love to give and he encompasses all of that SO WELL I could scream about it forever

Wow 😍

I have another observation and meta post on the film and its staging. Do people want to hear it? Are you sick of me yet?

Don’t care, my blog, you’re getting it anyway.

So. Paris.

“The key stays on during sex.” Yes. Lolz.

But.

That’s the key to his family home, and he took to wearing it when they moved into the White House. It’s not a massive extrapolation to say that it’s a way for Alex to feel connected to that home, to his roots.

I have already talked a bit about how this movie has staged and sequenced the different parts to show how they fall into their forever, there’s the kind of structural choices that make this ex-English teacher go absolutely feral, but it’s the framing of this which is what I would like to talk about this Sunday morning.

Because look at where that key is. Look how it is framed.

It is front, centre, and pointing right down at Henry’s chest.

If you’re looking for a bigger metaphor that Henry is Alex’s home then you’re not going to find it elsewhere.

The key is between them the first time they make love, it hangs down from Alex’s neck, aimed directly at him. I talked about the significance of the key before, how because of Alex Henry gets a key and a home and all that means. But Alex is wearing that key while in the White House because it’s his family home. Because he knows the White House won’t be his home forever. So he has that key as a reminder, as a link back to his roots.

And it is framed, so perfectly and clearly between them. That is a choice, that was deliberate. If Matthew hadn’t wanted it on show Alex would have taken it off or slung it around his back to get it out of the way. So the fact it’s there, hanging perfectly straight (ha) down and pointing at Henry’s chest, at his heart? It means something.

It means everything. Alex’s home won’t be the White House for much longer. And while the home in Texas will always be there for him? From Paris onwards that isn’t it. Home, as they say, is where the heart is. Alex’s key to his family home points to where his heart is and from this point on neither of the boys can deny that what they have is big and real and terrifyingly brilliantly forever.

And yes, he gives that key to Henry after the storming of Kensington Palace but…

Look at what’s on Alex’s nightstand. Here. Lemme give you a close up.

He takes the key off. After that first time (at least) he takes the key off and places it on the nightstand. He doesn’t need to keep a reminder of home with him because he’s already learning, already discovering that Henry is his home now. His home, his heart, is in that bed, curled into his side, learning about his history and his hopes and his dreams and why he does what he does because of what it means to him. After Paris Alex opens up to Henry in the biggest of ways possible, wanting to show him his life and his home State and share insignificant moments with him.

Alex is building a new life, a new home for himself post his mom’s presidency.

And the key literally pointed him in that direction.

So, I've had an idea for a fanfiction and I needed to create something before I wrote it.

So, behold! FirstPrince Kingsman AU!

If anyone has any ideas for what they want to read in the fanfiction, comment below!

I'm really excited for this AU!

RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE ↳book > screen

“I’m not like you. I can’t afford to be reckless. I don’t have a family who will support me. I don’t go about shoving who I am in everyone’s faces and dreaming about a career in fucking politics, so I can be more scrutinized and picked apart by the entire godforsaken world. I can love you and want you and still not want that life.

I’m allowed, all right, and it doesn’t make me a liar; it makes me a man with some infinitesimal shred of self-preservation, unlike you, and you don’t get to come here and call me a coward for it.” 

Alex takes a breath. “I never said you were a coward.”

henry: *talks about literature the way he does*

alex: that is a heterosexual man

"I fell in love with a person who happens to be a man, and that man happens to be a prince. He has captured my heart and made my life immeasurably better."

RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE [2023]

(It was *I will not* not *won’t* but you get what I mean)

Henry saying “I won’t trade one prison for another” is probably one of the most devastating lines in modern cinema and it broke my SOUL.

I love you. I love you more. I think that's up for debate.
