#The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue
LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 1, Wave 6, Poll 10
Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.
Percy Newton-The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue
Qualifications:
He's canonically gay and has epilepsy, both of which are quite important to the story.
Propaganda:
This is a wonderful, long-suffering young gay man unfortunately in mutual love with an idiot. He's also epileptic, which presents more than the usual problems for him, because he lives in the early 18th century, and due to his illness his family is planning on shipping him off and thus separating him long-term from the loser he's in love with. Deserves better, and gets it, eventually. Very sweet, lovely violin player, great at poetry, fully willing to whack people over the head if necessary.
Charles Xavier / Professor X-Marvel/X-Men
Qualifications:
He [uses] a wheelchair. And frequently shipped with Eric Lehnsherr / Magneto.
Propaganda:
Listen, I don't even like this man a lot of the time. But he is gay, and he is disabled. And I love both James McAvoys and Patrick Stewarts portrayal of the character. And as a character I really like him.

Since we will soon be getting film adaptations of Red, White and Royal Blue and Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, I hope there will eventually be adaptations made for these excellent queer YA novels as well!! 🤞🏳️‍🌈
For The House in the Cerulean Sea in particular, I need the adaptation to be animated! Now that we have films like Nimona on Netflix, I am hopeful that a similar animated adaptation can be made for TJ Klune’s novel. *speaking this into existence*

Monty: Everything makes you nervous, Adrian. You’re a walking panic attack.

Didn’t know The Nobleman’s Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks would be a 14 hour perfect soppy therapy session epilogue to the other 2 books but I’m absolutely here for it

“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. Every snowflake that ever falls upon his lips, every piece of bread upon his tongue. I want to breathe him, feel him fill up my chest until my ribs strain and I break open like ripe fruit beneath a paring knife. I would be raw. I would freckle and blister in the sun. I would teach my body to regrow my heart each time I gave it to him, over and over and over again. Heart after heart after heart—every one of them his.”
— The Gentleman’s Guide to Getting Lucky, Mackenzi Lee.

I think she likes you,” he says. I roll my eyes. “Just because you and Percy live in unholy matrimony doesn’t mean every same-gendered pair also wants to. And we only kissed once, and that was more an experimentation to see if kissing can be an enjoyable experience for me. And the answer is no, though I’d say she’s the best I’ve had. But the point is moot as I don’t think it’s ever really going to be good because I just don’t seem to desire that sort of relationship with anyone the way everyone else does. But just because she kissed me doesn’t mean she likes me. I once saw you necking a hedgerow.” Monty blinks. “I meant likes as in begrudgingly respects, but my word, how long have you been bottling that up, darling?”
this is just so hilarious so yeah yep

the gentleman’s guide to vice and virtue has pretty much the exact vibe of what people who don’t play dnd but listen to the podcasts think Dnd is like. And it’s amazing

Anyone have any book recommendations similar to (in terms of vibe, setting, character arcs, etc):
1. The Enola Holmes films (not including Sherlock Holmes or the EH books)
OR
2. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

for anyone else who is a fan of both “The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue” and “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder”:
every time i hear someone talking about one of them and just calling it “Gentleman’s Guide” for short, i usually for some reason think of the one they’re NOT talking about first and get really confused… and it doesn’t help that both have a main character named Monty 😂

Anybody want to be goodreads friends? I want to see what other early 20’s queer women are reading and I feel like the aftg fandom has plenty of those
