Happy pride month or something

im thinking about how all this is transferred into the musical in that one section montlie have together in glitzy ("we made a change and thats enough and no one needs to know how we won" / "the world needs to know we were making a man"). it really foreshadows that post-canon dynamic we can only assume the characters would go on to have based on the real history. and i'm very compelled by the concept of musical monty feeling this desperate urge to secure charles' legacy in history as well as his own, even if he has to do it against charles' will, even if it's after charles' death, when he can no longer beg monty not to. im envisioning an older, stubborn, repressed, grieving monty, who has long since convinced himself he's doing a good thing for charles. because all monty has ever wanted is for people to know his name, so in revealing charles' he's doing for him what he would have wanted for himself. but they have vastly different desires (again, as depicted in that dichotomous glitzy duet). and while monty might, by this point, have an illusory, idealised version of charles in his mind that is grateful for what monty has done for him, the real charles would have hated it. and on some level monty knows it
