also just as a lil gentle reminder or just i guess like, a heads up because it’s in my rules-- V is supposed to represent everyone. That is why I do not divulge V’s race, sex, history, religion, ect. bc Alan Moore essentially left V a blank slate for the viewer to identify with. There are hints as to who V might have been, but it’s never confirmed and because of that...

V for Vendetta, esp the novel, the mantle of V gets passed on from V to Evey, who looks and sounds and acts and moves exactly like the original V. Evey, canonically, was a cis woman. The importance of seeing Evey taking over V’s place and being EXACTLY like our original V is to represent that V is the everyday man and that V is all of us. That is what the ending of the movie meant as well when the film adaptation said that V was all of us.

Which is why I fully encourage my followers to make up who they think V is in their own interactions with me. Whatever YOU want to determine, I will roll with. If you want me to use they/them pronouns for V in our threads? I’ll roll with it. She/her? I’ll go with it. You think V is gay? Yes, I’ll do it. Trans? Yep. We’ll go there. You think V is a certain sex? Hell yes, I’m here for it. Nonbinary? Awesome, I’ll do it. Whatever you want, I will do it. You think V a certain race or religion? I will do it. V is supposed to represent everyone.  I want you to connect to V, I want you to connect with V as I do.  Whatever you make of my V will be between us and us alone and I want each and every person to have their own unique experience with my V.

   “ To know, is to know that you know nothing. That is the meaning of true knowledge.”

    “...Have you heard of that saying before? Do you know where it is from?”

   There’s a tilt of the masked figure’s head. Curious, yet, the entity remains a distance away from the other.  Would it be rude to say something about it? Perhaps. It is fortunate that there are no eyes beneath the guise of Guy Fawkes--there’s no way to tell where the figure is looking, other than straight ahead at the other humanoid.

   There’s a bit of an awkward silence, at least, until the figure clad in black speaks up.

    “Yes, well… He was a man who almost had it all, wasn’t he? In 1812 when he sought to seize control of Russia, he made his biggest mistake. And many of us know the tragic end of that man, don’t we? He made a MISTAKE, his ARROGANCE and overconfidence getting the best of him, some historians may wager.”

    The ‘terrorist’ merely presses leather gloved hands gently down on the table in front of him.
