Guys please. Benoit Blanc wasn’t “hinted at” being gay in Glass Onion. He IS gay. CANONICALLY. Even if Rian Johnson didn’t confirm that Hugh Grant is in a romantic relationship with Blanc, if it was a woman answering the door, everyone would just assume that was his girlfriend or wife or smth.

This isn’t something that’s ever gonna be explored bc the movies aren’t about his identity. They’re barely about Blanc. He’s just the world’s greatest detective, and he just so happens to be gay.

#and married to hugh grant #sorry I’ve seen too many people going omg they implied Blanc was gay #HE IS GAY!!!! #glass onion #i got to see glass onion one to two months early depending on what you consider the release date #and now it’s out so I can rant #benoit blanc #also his names Philip #like canonically the character that Hugh grant plays is named Phillip

[ottomatonic]

I hope Rian Johnson knows how much I needed this

“Blanc.” “...” “..Blanc?”

“...”

“The bread wasn’t that bad, was it?” “...”

“Come on, we’ll start that jigsaw I ordered.” “...” -sigh- “...” “Alright... It’s alright. We’ll just sit here a bit longer.”

For a character that is not trying to be an adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, Benoit Blanc is the best modern Holmes.

They both hate rich people, don't deal well with men in power, have a soft spot for women who have been taken advantage of, useless with simple and silly things, get depressed when they don't have a case, gay.

#that's why i need the third film to have philip helping him out on a case #so we can have that holmes/watson dynamic!! #angel talks #glass onion #kinves out #benoit blanc #sherlock holmes

Would love to see a fic of how Blanc and Philip might have met where Blanc is out somewhere (maybe a fancy little bar or got invited to some party) and women keep flirting with him, but he’s too nice and southern to tell them he’s gay so Philip swoops in all “there you are, dear! I was looking for you” to make it seem like they’re a couple and they finally get the message and go away and now the detective is flustered because of this charming British stranger pretending to be his partner so women will stop flirting with him

All of the comparisons with Poirot etc. are valid, especially considering the Agatha Christie influences on both Knives Out and (especially) Glass Onion, but actually the Golden Age detective Benoit Blanc most reminds me of is Lord Peter Wimsey. Especially with the epic obfuscating chattiness/stupidity. Blanc turns up his Southern Hokeyness to eleven when he wants people to underestimate him; Wimsey turns up his Upper-Class Twit, for the same reasons and in the same way. (And in both cases it’s a play on their own real mannerisms and accent, but they deploy it as a shield and a weapon.) Both are epically courteous, polite, and friendly, but you Do Not Want To Piss Them Off by being horrifying.

Also if anyone wants to write a backstory for Benoit/Philip in which Benoit saves Philip from a false accusation of murder and Philip spends years unsure whether he wants to get together with this man who saved him because gratitude is a terrifying burden, etc... omg I would read the fuck out of that. :D

Anyways. The fact that Benoit Blanc's fame in Knives Out universe is just so well-known to the point Google defining him as the greatest detective and Miles recognizing him right on just confirms Benoit must have WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE WANTING HIM DEAD, and also implies that at some point in their romcom love story, Philip might have or might have not been one of those who tried to either stop Benoit from solving a case by being paid to kill him or something, which could also mean Philip has almost the same skill sets as James Bond but never as brilliant as Benoit to NOT ONLY SOLVE A MYSTERY but also managed to prevent this future husband of his from endangering lives (including himself)

So if every Benoit Blanc movie features a new food metaphor, I propose that every new movie should show Philip stress baking a different food.

Watched “Glass Onion” four times in as many days and am utterly failing to hold back the desire to rp a full mystery fic on Blanc and Philip.

Benoit Blanc (and Philip) Headcannons

If they were both on vacation and a ‘busman’s holiday’ happened (aka a murder or other sort of investigation needed) Philip would actually be the most enthusiastic for Benoit to join in, because he’s seen what his husband is like when he goes long stretches without a case.

Word of god (aka the author) has it that Benoit can’t afford his apartment [on his own; I blame the cost of living, and honestly Benoit’s clothing tastes cannot be cheap] and it’s heavily implied that he’s a hobbyist that is more than willing to do charity cases because he cares about the people and justice. So that puts significant weight on the ‘Philip is the biggest breadwinner of the two’ theory (fitting that his quarantine crazy project was literally making bread). TL;DR: Philip is a sugar daddy to Benoit.

Philip is actually more famous than his husband in some circles (possibly the world of finance or fashion?) and Benoit doesn’t mind at all. (Frankly Benoit would be happier if his name wasn’t the first Google result for ‘Worlds greatest detective’)

Marta and Helen are now honorary daughters to the Benoit and Philip, this headcannon is so popular I choose to believe it is just full bonafide canon.

if you wanna know how i think philip and benoit ended up married, well- blanc always introduces philip as his “partner” everywhere they go and philip doesn’t like it. it confuses people, you see! do you know how many times people have met him and turned to blanc and said “i thought you worked alone,” or asked philip condescendingly if he’s sure he isn’t jealous at all that his partner gets all the credit for their cases while his name’s not even in the articles about them? but blanc doesn’t like the term “boyfriend” (and, frankly, neither does philip- they’re too old for that), and philip can’t help but cringe at the word “lover”, so there aren’t many other options.

he doesn’t mention this annoyance of his to benoit, of course. the man’s a semi-public figure who’s in the news fairly often- it’s not for philip to decide how much the public knows about blanc’s personal life. five years into their relationship, though, they’re at a dinner party hosted by an uncle of a friend of a sister of benoit’s, and after a few introductions and a few misunderstandings, philip says mildly to blanc that he wishes he’d stop introducing him that way. doesn’t he see how it confuses people?

blanc chuckles and points out that philip’s affectation for calling him by his last name doesn’t exactly make it easier for people to figure out the nature of their relationship. philip rolls his eyes. “well, i did ask you,” he reminds blanc. “i asked you if you wanted me to stop calling you that on our first date, and what did you say? ‘no, no,’ you said-” his imitation of blanc has an even more ridiculous accent than the real thing- “‘i don’t think i could get used to you callin’ me benoit all the time.’”

the real blanc grins. “that’s cause i heard you say benoit once when we first met and you pronounced it- now, how did you pronounce it? say it with me: be-noyt.”

philip does not say it with him. he looks down at his plate and frowns, humbled slightly. “i took one french class for a semester and dropped it,” he mumbles. “all those damned tenses. it’s a miracle they know when anybody’s doing anything. look, this isn’t about your name. i just- well, i just-”

he just- what? it’s silly anyway. he spreads his hands as if searching for the right words, then drops them in defeat. “never mind. whatever. whatever. partner’s fine. you know what, forget i said anything. how’s your steak?”

blanc just looks at him, blue eyes inscrutable. god, his eyes are the bluest philip’s ever seen. you have to try not to lose yourself in them. philip gave up on that a long time ago. right now, there’s something in those eyes that makes him worry he’s brought something up that blanc’s going to fret over and not let go, terrified of hurting philip’s feelings. 

a week later, blanc comes home from work with a satisfied, almost smug look on his face. “you’re right,” he says simply, arms crossed, smiling impishly. “you’re absolutely right, philip. i’m tired of calling you my partner. and not just because you would be completely useless in a murder investigation, bless you, sweetheart, but because i’ve finally thought of something else i’d like ta call you better.” he reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a small box, and it doesn’t take philip any detective work to realize what’s in it. “so, my darlin’, if you’ll have me, i’ll make sure everyone i meet knows you’re my husband. maybe you can even take my name- then i can call YOU ‘blanc.’ wouldn’t that be somethin’?”

and just like that, philip remembers why he puts up with it all.

#knives out #glass onion #benoit blanc #do these two have a ship name yet. whatever. my heart melts whenever i think about them💙💙💙 #the funny amogus detective and his breadmaking husband have my ENTIRE heart. rian johnson what do i have to do #to get you to put more philip in the next movie(s).
