Tequila and Eggsy hooking up would be an enormous headache for everyone involved since they’re both “Merlin/Ginger is most of my impulse control”
They tried to fuck in an empty whiskey barrel and got stuck and Merlin had to pull out “two bare-ass naked spies who we have entrusted with the safety of the free world jesus feckin shite we’re all in trouble”
In very personal interview, Prince Gary of Sweden talks about his marriage to Crown Princess Tilde and his first year as part of the Swedish Royal Family, and opens up about how tailoring made him into the man he is today.
can i just say colin firth pulled some absolutely stunning faces in the golden circle
His switch from the young lepidopterist to Harry fuckin’ Hart was amazing. We usually use facial expressions (especially the eyes) and body language to convey emotions and he did it with a freaking eye patch on. I saw confusion, pain, and anguish on his face and he was gloriously beautiful.
Okay so most of this is bullshit (Eggsy and Roxy apparently being 32, the events of KM1 happening in 2012 instead of 2014, the end of KM1 being in September when we know that it happened directly after the Royal Ascot which is in June, etc), but it is really nice to know a few more codenames and corresponding faces. So for those that may need reference for fic that takes place before, ignores, or retcons TGC with canon divergence:
Note: Lancelot and Percival are switched in TGC but that could just be for framing.
And for anyone needing a list of prominent Arthurian knights (there were a lot of them but there were only a select number that are mentioned most commonly) here’s a list. My personal faves for the remaining three are Kay, Bors, and Tristan.
Adding more meta bc I have no self control. As I said above, some of this stuff just can’t be taken as fact. It’s too wildly skewed and clearly written to fill space by people who didn’t know all the details. However there are a few things I felt were salvageable.
Of the Knights there are actually two new faces in TGC, the one at the end of the table and the back left:
For the one at the end of the table, it’s a little hard to tell the difference, but the cast listing shows us that two of the cast members at the table were swapped and process of elimination tells us it’s these two. When looking at pics that have a little closer view, you can also tell that the one in TGC is much younger than the one in TSS.
His seat appears to be Agent ‘Geraint’ and my resolution wasn’t clear enough to see the exact date that he was admitted, but it does appear to be in the 1990′s. We know that this can’t be right tho, bc his placement was occupied by someone else only a year before. So that will have to be ignored or retconned by personal headcanon.
Both actors have very little (and, in one of their cases, no) credit to their name outside of TGC, so it’s proven near impossible to find a picture of the new agent in the back.
Bottom line tho, I feel this fits well into the common headcanon that some Kingsman agents joined Chester and subsequently died during V-Day.
So an update to my previous image would be…
Other interesting little tidbits include:
Percival provided field training for Bedivere.
Bedivere was recruited at some point after 1995. (He started training for a Tank Regiment in September of 1995 so we can assume that he was probably recruited sometime afterward.)
Geraint in the first film is played by Nick English, founder of Bremont Watches. He was 43 in 2014 which is when TSS took place. The Geraint showed in TGC is listed as being born in 1972, making him around 42 at the time of TGC. Like I said, he’s listed as being admitted in the 90′s, tho that doesn’t make a lot of sense continuity wise.
Gawain was born in 1975 (12 Jan), making him around 39/40 in TSS/TGC. He was recruited in 2001 (3 Apr) when he was 26. Given that Chester King said at the beginning of TSS that they had not had an agent death in seventeen years, Gawain’s predecessor must have retired rather than dying in the field.
Lamorak was born in 1969 (14 Nov), making him around 44/45
in TSS/TGC. He was recruited in 1995 (10 May) when he was 25. While I personally headcanon that all of the agents can speak multiple languages, he is listed as specifically being able to speak five. Russian and Mandarin are among them.
Gambon!Arthur was born in 1940 (19 Oct), making him around 75 in TGC. He was recruited in 1960 (2 Dec) when he was 20.
Eggsy is listed as being voluntarily discharged from the Marines in June of 2008. This could be taken at face value, or it could be assumed that this is in relation to the incorrect date of 2012 listed as his and Roxy’s admittance date. In this case it would be four years before TSS (which took place in 2014) meaning that Eggsy left the Marines in 2010.
“No amount of Marvin Gaye will make me less cross with you.”
Hamish is far too drunk for any more words than absolutely necessary and just waves a flippant hand vaguely in Harry’s direction to signify how much he believes that statement. He turns the stereo volume dial another several notches to the right, excruciatingly loud for almost four in the morning, and begins an awful lurching sort of boogie-walk across the living room towards Harry like some horrible uncle at a wedding trying to get from the bar to the dance floor when Come On Eileen starts playing.
“Let’s get it on,” Hamish croons along, mouthing wetly at Harry’s neck in a way that might be kissing if he’d had several fewer pints and absolutely failing to make any impression on the knot in Harry’s dressing gown belt because he seems to have forgotten how his fingers work.
“Eggsy,” Harry says crossly into his phone, and gets some kind of barely-comprehensible drunken bellowed greeting in his ear, “next time you take this fool out drinking, please have some consideration for those of us who need our beauty sleep and return him before dawn.”
Hamish interrupts, helping himself to two handfuls of arse and lustily singing, “GIVING YOURSELF TO ME COULD NEVER BE WRONG!” in unison with Eggsy on the the other end of the line until Harry stabs the end call button, picks up Hamish – the small dog version, not the drunken husband – and goes back to bed in a sulk.
you know what I’m looking forward to seeing a gif of? Harry getting hit in the face with a frying pan
get panned bitch
okay, but I want this clip in the same style as that mom holding lasagna smashing into a counter back and forth with “uh huh, that’s my shit / all the girls stamp their feet like this” playing over it meme
