A long awaited sequel to this post, in which I will discuss the inherent lgbtness of the other Mysterious Benedict Society characters

Nicholas Benedict? Gay, wears his gay little outfits and lives in his gay little house with his gay little family

Milligan Wetherall? The bisexual of all time. He and Kate went to their first pride parade together

Ledroptha Curtain? The worst type of gay person: a theater kid

Moocho Brazos? Gay and he’s done drag, I know this in my heart

Reynie Muldoon? Bisexual (thank you TLS) and I know on my heart he’s arospec and GNC

Sticky Washington? World’s most handsome bisexual, the representation we deserve

SQ Pedelian? No gender, only bird drawings and childhood trauma

The Ten Men? Evil polycule >:]

Cannonball? Aroace, my funky dude with like 5 minutes of screentime 🫶

Captain Phil Noland? Far too occupied with a slight case of low blood sugar, a faltering marriage, and the liens on his house and vehicle to think about sexuality, but frequents gay bars because he likes their drinks better

Tai Li? He’s like a nephew to me, I want to show up at his house during the holidays with a tin full of cookies and give him $10 to buy himself something at the mall

#important note on the curtain one: I am also a gay theater kid #I know there are more characters but this has been sitting in my drafts too long and I’m releasing it to the wild #mbs #mysterious benedict society #tmbs #the mysterious benedict society #nicholas benedict #milligan wetherall #ledroptha curtain #moocho brazos #reynie muldoon #sticky washington #sq pedalian #the ten men #cannonball mbs #captain phil noland #tai li #ky’s gallery

Does anybody want to hear about my 100% fabricated Cannonball backstory?

So, imagine this kid. Maybe he's got parents, maybe he doesn't. I think he probably lost his family at a young age and was sent to live with a great aunt/uncle who has a huge house and doesn't really mind if he runs around on his own all day.

At age seven, he gets his hands on a copy of Treasure Island it becomes he favourite book. He reads it cover to cover in three days, staying up as late as he can and reading under the sheets until he falls asleep and wakes up with his face on the still-open book.

There's a small stream on the edge of the property, and he spends every day down there, studying the water currents and watching the different kinds of leaves drift down it. Once he steals an entire package of toothpicks and takes an afternoon holed up in his room making as perfect a model of a ship he can.

After that, his guardians begin to take notice. He receives model kits and books on the history of sailing and every space second of his is devoted to knot-tying. He always keeps a slender piece of rope in his pocket, and it becomes a soothing habit for him to tie and untie it, often without looking, or under his desk to avoid attention when he's at school.

He doesn't get along with the other children very well, though not for lack of trying. They just aren't interested in hearing him list each part of a sailing ship or debating the merit of a sloop versus a schooner. So, he spends most of his free periods reading and sketching and closing his eyes and imagining what it would be like to feel the wind on his face.

What he does excel at is history, especially navy battles. He loves the strategy and the careful planning and the weighing of pros and cons and it delights him whenever the topic in class turns to maritime warfar.

As soon as school lets out he runs the whole way home, back up the hill to the empty old house that has far too many rooms full of stagnant air. He relishes the feeling of the breeze through his hair, seeking out storms and studying the sky to catalogue weather patterns.

All he wants is to be free. To be free of the small-minded people, and the children at his school that regard him strangely, to be free of the same streets and the same sights and the same people who seem content to never set foot anywhere but the dirt they and their family had grown out of.

He comes home full of tales of distant lands and the people and cultures there and dreams of the smell of the sea.

As soon as he turns thirteen, lying awake as the clock strikes midnight as he is taunted by the sound of waves crashing still echoing from his dreams, he decides he's had enough.

He packs a bag, just the necessities (And his well-worn copy of Treasure Island), and leaves a note on the breakfast table.

Then he sets out, following the path to the sea that he'd charted in his mind hundreds of times, chasing the faint cries of seagulls.

He finds a ship, even in the early morning light he can recognise the different classes of each vessel in the harbor. He slips aboard, hiding himself away behind some crates below deck, exhausted from his journey but feeling a thrill of exhilaration as the gentle rocking sends him into the most peaceful sleep of his life.

He figured he'd sleep here so he could find the first crew member aboard in a few hours and beg for a position on the ship, but when he wakes to the afternoon sunlight slanting down into the hold, he knows instantly that this is not the tender rocking of a boat moored not ten feet from the dock. These are the waves only found when one is really truly at sea.

And, despite himself, he can't help but be excited.

Cautiously emerging, he sees a flurry of motion that sparks something in him he hasn't felt in years. He makes note of each task being done, hoping his expertise (Academic though it is) will prove a good bargaining chip with the captain.

He knows exactly where the captain's quarters would be on a ship of this size, and carefully makes his way to the door, knocking hesitantly before hearing an invite to enter.

He is greeted with a slightly shabby but nonetheless friendly looking man, studying a map on his desk. He looks up in surprise at the sight of an unaccounted for child on his ship, but quickly masks it with a professional look.

The boy is too smart for that, though, and he's seen that look shared between teachers before they gently but firmly tell him that while impressive, his report on why a field trip to the marina would be beneficial is of course ridiculous.

Silent tears start dripping down his cheeks, as he lays out his whole story for the captain and begs for even the smallest position on his ship. He won't even ask to be paid, all he needs is to be on the ocean. He's been longing for it all his life, and now that he's finally experienced it the siren song will surely drive him mad if he's deposited back in that horrible landlocked schoolhouse.

The captain is slightly taken aback by this, but his first instinct is to give the boy a hug. He tells him that they will have to dock soon, and then he will be having a very frank discussion with the child's guardians, but he sees no reason why he shouldn't be able to take up an apprenticeship with them.

And, as Cannonball heaves a sigh into the captain's shoulder, he recognizes that feeling that's been calling out to him for so long, the one that immediately slid into place in his heart. The feeling of coming home

😍❓ for the ask game :)

Thank you for responding to the ask game I made! 🥰 I hope you are having a lovely day!

😍-published lines or a section of a fic that you loved writing?

Oh this is a good one. I'll go with a section from Chapter 2 of my Book Martina redemption fic (Who You Were Meant To Be on AO3)

"I know you don't want to see or speak to them. But now that I know that you really are sorry, all that's left for you to do is apologize. I'm sure Mr. Benedict and the Society would accept your apology. And then we could all be friends, and you wouldn’t have a problem celebrating my birthday with them!” SQ exclaimed, excited to have found the solution to his predicament.

Martina laughed.

“Is that supposed to be a joke?” she asked.

“No,” SQ replied, “I’m being honest. They accepted my apology, and I’m friends with them now.”

“Yeah, but I’m me and you’re you.”

“What does that have to do with anything? We both worked for Mr. Curtain. We both hurt them.”

“Yeah, but it’s different. You’re… you’re nice.”

“So are you. Or maybe you could be if you wanted to be.”

“No, I couldn’t,” Martina replied. “Look, we both worked for Mr. Curtain, but it was never the same. You actually believed that what we were doing was good and right, and you never wanted to hurt anybody. I thought what we were doing would bring me success and make me happy, and I enjoyed hurting other people. You had selfless reasons, I had selfish ones. People like you get redemption and forgiveness, okay? People like me don’t. That’s just the way the world works.”

SQ paused and thought a bit about what Martina had said.

“I’m not sure that’s true,” he observed, “or at least, it can’t be true all the time. Because I forgave you.”

Martina struggled to think of something clever to say to SQ’s objection, but she couldn’t find the words. And strangely, a part of her felt like she didn’t want to find them. That for once in her life, she was actually, surprisingly, okay with losing an argument. Because she just wanted to accept what SQ was saying was true, even if she knew it wasn’t.

“You shouldn’t have,” she finally mumbled.

I loved writing these lines. It's hard for me to articulate exactly why, but I love the concept of forgiveness and how it's discussed here. Martina points out that intentions matter, which is true, but SQ counters with his own point that even if you did something bad intentionally, that doesn't mean forgiveness is impossible or unattainable. He's the first person to show Martina that kind of love, friendship, and understanding, and Martina doesn't want to fight it (even if she can't accept it yet). It's hopeful, and I love the message, I love redemption stories, and the way the dialogue shows it... I'm sorry, I can't articulate, but I hope you get what I was going for here.

❓-any WIP snippet you want!

Hm...now this is a hard one. Because I have a lot to choose from, but I think I'll go with a funny snippet from a character who I haven't written a lot for yet, but was a character than many encouraged me to write for.

“Oh, I’m afraid it’s far more serious than that sir,” warned Cannonball in grave tone. “It appears that one of our passengers was caught smuggling illegal contraband into the country.”

“WHAT!” exclaimed Noland, then suddenly conscious of the fact that others could be listening, began to whisper.

“And…what exactly did they attempt to smuggle in?” he asked.

Cannonball leaned in and whispered.

“Tangerines.”

Noland gasped in horror.

“Tangerines? Cannonball, this may be the greatest threat to my career yet! Just think of the ecological damage that even one single tangerine could inflict!”

“It would be truly catastrophic,” agreed Cannonball seriously, shaking his head at the senseless tragedy.

“It’s hard to imagine what sort of cold-blooded individuals would dare attempt such an infamous plot,” continued Noland.

“Oh, they’ve caught the culprits,” explained Cannonball. “Don’t worry sir. Things might not be hopeless yet. We’ve been asked to deal with them personally. If our punishment is harsh enough, that is if we can make an example of these fruit filching criminals, it may yet redeem us. And show the world that we do not tolerate environmental carelessness aboard our vessels.”

“Very well,” agreed Noland. “Then though it may be harsh, we shall do what we must.”

For the character ask game, Dr. Garrison of course (unless someone already asked), Cannonball, Madge, and Reynie.

Also thanks for reblogging, and I hope you're having a wonderful day!

Our communal favorite woman in stem who is somehow always having the worst week of her life:

Get! Her! Some! Therapy! Canon did her so dirty by completely dropping her.

Ship man:

Therapy forever until he stops trying to send children to boat jail.

Milk’s alter ego:

One of the few MBS characters who I think I couldn’t beat in a fight. She scares me, and she would and could tear me to shreds.

The best boy on the face of this earth <3 <3:

I think if I asked Ms. Perumal really really nicely, maybe we could co-parent Reynie, and that’s all I want

#ty for the ask!#I hope you’re having a wonderful day too!#this is a really fun board #thank you for making it!#mbs
