I re-watched Handsome Devil the other day after downloading it again to save it on to my external HD of excellent queer media for safe keeping ...

... (you already know that Red, White, And Royal Blue is also on there and still watched daily) and it dawned on me that Henry during his days at uni was probably basically Conor and Ned in one right down to having one of their faces which is why they beautifully stayed platonic friends despite both being queer (they needed an Alex to come along and have more of a push-pull dynamic with them) except blond English royalty instead of brunet and redheaded Irish misfits.

I would have said that it must have been very lonely, because at least Conor and Ned had each other and Mr. Sherry, but then I realized that Henry probably went to uni with Pez, and then I got mad, because we deserved more of that bestieism and some of Pez flirting with Alex to egg Alex and Henry on like we got in the book (plus his whole polyamory plot with June and Nora being that there was no June).

I'd watch that six-and-a-half-hour-long movie. Who's with me?

@christopherlightwoodchasm has me finally posting about this and here's why.

So with Nicholas Galitzine becoming more popular rn with the Red White and Royal Blue movie coming out more people are watching his older movie Handsome Devil right?

Now I watched this movie last year when I went on a dumpster dive rabbit hole of watching literally every single queer movie I could find, and while I didn’t like completely adore this film I did genuinely love it and I’m kind of feeling very gate-keepy about it now because every person online I’ve seen that’s watching it now is like “Ohhh Ned and Conor are so in love it’s so sweet” and “Ned fell in love with Conor at X moment” and “if they make a sequel I hope they get together” HONEYYYYY NO.

Im sorry ok maybe i watched the movie wrong or something but correct me if I’m wrong?? This movie wasn’t a love story! It was a story about friendship and more importantly QUEER freindship! We never even actually find out if Ned was gay or not!! Like that’s purposefully left up to the viewer to interpret!! The whole point of the movie was that both boys found a friend in the other in a way that was unexpected while both were feeling isolated for their own reasons, Ned because everyone thought he was gay and hated him for it and Conor because he WAS gay and he kind of hated himself for it. Like— at no point in the film were they ever more than friends, and honestly? It was kind of better that way! They had a very sweet friendship that ultimately produced a very good ending to the movie, and boiling it down to “another Heartstopper story” infuriates me.

Im not sure why I’m so protective of this movie when it’s not like it’s my favorite in the whole world but I watched it when it was still relatively unknown so I guess I just feel the need to set the record straight (ha) a bit.

Ok TLDR: The 2016 movie Handsome Devil is NOT a love story it’s a freindship story and that’s why I love it

Conor MacNeill as young Edward (Ned) Gowan

Bill Paterson as old Edward (Ned) Gowan. Ned was a lawyer from Edinburgh who knew the law, inside and out and acted as a legal advisor to Clan MacKenzie.

Conor MacNeill is an Irish actor from County Antrim, Northern Ireland, who has experience on both the big and small screen, as well as the stage. He is an actor, producer, and writer, and is known for his roles in An Crisís (2010) Whole Lotta Sole (2012) a Comedy/Crime with Brendan Fraser and Privates (2013) and in the BBC and HBO drama, Industry, as Kenny Kilblane.

He made his London stage debut starring alongside Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe in The Cripple of Inishmaan. He was nominated for a BAFTA award in 2017 for Best Short Film.

He played the Garda, and Detective Ruairi Slater in The Tourist season 2 alongside Jamie Dornan (2024) Conor MacNeill wrote a script with Jamie Dornan it's set in NI'.

The Tourist is the four-time MacNeill and Dornan have worked together – they were both in The Fall, Belfast and Siege of Jadotville together, and became good friends outside of work, even writing a script together during lockdown (more of which later)

Belfast. The film is set in the 1960s. Belfast captures the spirit and atmosphere of the city during a period of significant social and political change.

Conor MacNeill (McLaury) fictional character and Colin Morgan in Kenneth Branagh's “Belfast” film (2021) 🎬

Industry (2020)‧ Drama Young finance graduates venture out into the cut-throat competitive world to get a job during the recession times that followed as a result of the 2008 financial crisis.

Conor MacNeill - Industry’s Kenny belongs in the pantheon of bad fictional bosses.

The Siege of Jadotville (2016) It is a true story. Irish soldiers on a UN peacekeeping mission in Africa, are besieged by overwhelming enemy forces, as UN peacekeepers defend their outpost.

The Siege of Jadotville depicts the incredible true story of the siege of 150 UN Irish troops led by Commandant Pat Quinlan (Jamie Dornan) in the Congo in 1961. Quinlan and his men held out against a force of 3,000 local troops led by French and Belgian mercenaries working for mining companies.

In honour of their courageous actions in Congo at the Siege of Jadotville a specially commissioned medal “An Bonn Jadotville” was awarded to all men of “A” Company, 35th Infantry Battalion and the families of deceased members, to give them full and due recognition. If you haven't seen this film yet, I recommend watching it.

The Fall (TV Series 2013–2016) - Conor MacNeill as Mark Bailey - MacNeill joined the cast of The Fall in 2016 for its third season, in which he featured in the final few episodes.

The Fall is a crime drama television series filmed and set in Northern Ireland. The series, starring Gillian Anderson as Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson, is created and written by Allan Cubitt and features Jamie Dornan as serial killer Paul Spector.

if you like Henry in RWRB you'll LOVE Handsome Devil!

It's a film about a boy (Ned Masters) at an Irish boarding school that's obsessed with rugby - which he does not like. His life is a misery until Conor (played by Nicholas Galitzine, AKA Prince Henry) a star rugby player moves in as his roommate. The two form a close friendship, but it is fraught with drama coming from the rugby team, coach Pascal, and the real reason Conor left his last school.

Also featuring Andrew Scott as a charismatic English teacher, a secret trip to a gay bar, and an essay about my cousin Kevin.

obligatory content warnings for casual homophobia, someone being outed, and a slight bit of underage drinking.

you can watch the trailer below:

and if you watch it you should yell about it in my inbox because it's a great film and I love it 👍

Headcanon, if you ask me 😌

I'm 100% convinced the photographer in this scene is Ned from Handsome Devil.

Like c'mon, are you telling me Henry went to an English boarding school and didn't meet Ned, hated each other but then eventually went their separate ways until they met again when Ned became a photographer for the royals?

(Note: this gave me an idea for a one shot fanfic. Read here if you're interested -> 👻)

(Context for people unaware: Nicholas played the role of Conor, in the movie Handsome devil, a student in an Irish boarding school who's hated by the protagonist, Ned)

I’m guessing you’ve seen handsome devil? I just recently watched it and I was wondering ur thoughts on Ned and Connor not ending up together or even kissing

I love handsome devil, it's probably my favorite thing I've watched for Nick. And I really love that it's left with them not being a couple, or kissing even once.

queer friendship is just as important to showcase as queer romance. Conor met Ned at a time in his life he's still figuring things out, and just needed a friend who has a better grip on who he is to help him be more comfortable in himself. It's a beautiful little movie about queer friendship.

Conor and Ned (Nicholas Galitzine and Fionn O'Shea) from Handsome devil, 2016

[thesocialzombie1]

I forgot how Tumblr works but I’m just wondering if they meant to code Ned and Conor in Handsome Devil as just two gay friends or if they did want to have them both get together in the end but it was made in an era where that wasn’t a possibility.

Thoughts anyone?

[coffee-at-annies]

6+43 you pick the pairing.

6+43: Bookshop AU+Dance of Romance

This is very hard for me because I fully believe most hockey players cannot read. There is reason the Sidney Crosby School for Hockey Players Who Can’t Read Good is a thing that I believe with my whole heart that exists. You said dealers choice on the pairing so I hope you’re ready for an entire au and many, many pairings. Remember, you asked for this.

Anyway small independent bookshop owners Sid and Geno. They’re gay and married and semi-successful and it’s cute.

Kris is the bitchy barista who barged into their store one day and bullied them into adding a cafe and then took over running it.

He’s got some sort of situationship going with his longtime regular, Tristan, who has never picked up a book in all the time he’s been coming there. He is there every day for his caffeine fix and to do suduko or something else juuuuust close enough to be book adjacent but isn’t reading. I’m not sure there’s enough thoughts in Mouse Boy’s head to read a whole book. At least that’s what he wants us to think and I’m gonna give it to him.

Jake and Bryan (Rusty) are two kids Sid hired from the local college that basically never left after graduating and are still here.

Flower runs the bakery down the street and makes sure Sid has pastries for Kris to sell. He has tried and failed to lure Kris away to do coffee for the bakery. (Flower also used to work at the bookstore but left to go pursue his dream of the bakery and they love and support him but Kris isn’t leaving).

Marcus and Ricky are two Swedish dads that come in for kids storytime and let their kids play around.

They’ve started bringing new Swede-in-town Erik and his daughter with them.

Chad doesn’t work for the bookstore but will occasionally stop by kid in tow for Sid’s storytime.

Ryan Graves just got hired to run the late night shift so they can be open later. (Yes this is a graveyard shift pun)

Magnus is the delivery man who drops off and helps unload book shipments.

(This is a very crowded small bookstore)

Ned is there regularly for book club with EK, Reilly (who is new in town) and Jason (Zucker) (an old regular), along with old not quite married couple Carl and Patric (Hags&Horny).

(All people I believe can read, unlike Jarry)

Jared and Brandon are around somewhere. Probably. (Look I love them).

Zach and Conor and Teddy used to work in the store while in college but unlike Jake and Bryan they left after graduation. Some of them are still around town but some of them have moved away.

The only people I’m missing are 4th line and I’m sorry idc where cookie and neets are tbh and BJC is around. Probably. Maybe he’s a regular, maybe he works the register, idk idc.

That leaves, basically everyone you just said “hey you forgot X” aka Lars Eller and the kids/wbs. If you were wondering why I didn’t mention them, that’s because this fic is about them. Well actually it’s about DOC and POJ because my brain decided that’s the pairing. Don’t ask me why. Big Z is right there with the rest of his harem but no we’re doing PO and Drew (probably because of that silly tortilla video). Anyway all the boys are college students at the local college. Drew is in a study group with Radim, Valterri, Jansen, Vinnie, Sam (Poulin), and Ty (Smith). They’re all taking Professor Eller’s class and they meet up once or twice a week in the bookstore to drink coffee and go over the homework.

Where is PO you ask? Well he’s behind the counter working under Kris as the backup barista. Don’t worry, this romance isn’t going to be customer/barista. No, no. The reason they started meeting here is because Drew works at the bookstore. He’s been there for about a semester (and the summer) but hasn’t really spent much time in the cafe part. It’s not until Big Z talks Drew into running study sessions in the cafe that they start noticing each other.

See PO took Professor Eller’s class last year, so one day, after watching the boys struggle for with the homework for way too long, he pops out from behind the counter and sits down and helps them out. He’s welcome at the study sessions and sometimes when he’s not on shift he’ll bring his school work and while they’re majoring in different things it’s nice to bounce ideas off them.

If you want to know what they’re majoring in, actual real life DOC majored in sociology while playing for Dartmouth. PO has not been to college but he did tell Taylor that if he wasn’t gonna be an athlete he wanted to be a vet or a psychologist so I’m going with he wants to be a Vet Tech and is majoring in whatever is the veterinary sciences equivalent of premed is.

Anyway they hang out at work more and more. This goes on for like a month and then Geno comes up with a big idea for a fall event. They’re doing a Halloween party. Jake and Bryan and Drew and PO have to help decorate the store and on the day of it’s filled with college students, kids, and regulars. Drew is trying desperately to avoid getting his cheek pinched by the old ladies from the knitting circle again. PO is safe because he’s behind the cafe counter serving drinks. PO has fake vampire fangs as his costume. Drew showed up in a not-couples costume with Big Z. If you wanna know what everyone else wore, please see this photo. Except I’m pretty sure Kris is either a prey mantis or the letits are out whichever option makes you, dear reader, feel more insane.

Eventually Sid and Geno shooo all their employees to go mingle and have fun. Drew and PO end up in the makeshift dance floor, music blaring, and after a couple jokes and a some negging from their friends, PO gives Drew a half twirl or something and they laugh it off before the song is even over.

It’s not until later when they’re cleaning up, all alone, music still going in the background, that they start joking about it and one thing leads to another and they actually dance. PO gives drew the full twirl. They bust a move. They slow dance a bit. They’ve never been this close. They’ve only casually touched and now they’re pressed up against each other. They’ve been hanging out at the bookstore outside of study group and Ohohoho what’s this? A feelings realization. Except wait. They’re both idiot college students. So they both awkwardly disengage to go do their job and part ways.

In the following days things are so completely awkward between them at work that Kris throws PO out of the cafe and won’t let him back until he can look Drew in the eye. Drew meanwhile cancels study session because he doesn’t know how to be normal around PO. Don’t worry they can’t continue like that for long. You see there’s a big test coming up and Z ropes PO into helping Drew out cause it’s like 40% of their final grade and Drew has been failing the at-home practice tests something terrible.

They end up staying way later than the rest of the study group going over this exam. Its way late at night, only Ryan is there to lock up behind them, and PO has just spent 4 hours explaining the test back to front - forgetting his awkwardness in the face of his determination to make sure Drew doesn’t fail. Drew definitely stares at PO explaining for a little too long, decides fuck it and goes in for a kiss. These are idiot college boys so instead they bump noses or headbutt each other or something. Poor boys. Can’t even do a surprise kiss correctly. Drew apologizes and then they do have the confession conversation and then the actual kiss. And more kisses. After that, more studying.

The end.
