#gentlemanhood

[fullcolorfright]

The Curse of Frankenstein (1957) + sequels. This is one of Peter Cushing’s best roles; I love his interpretation of Frankenstein. The thin veneer of gentlemanhood hiding a burning obsession, bloodied suits and half-second smiles. The perfect mad scientist movie to me

Phantom Blood Musical M27 ("Knight's Pride, Gentleman's Heart" Lyrics Rough Translation)

[George]

JoJo! Dio!

Today, I would like to tell you the story of the two English knights

It's a tale of knightly pride in the spirit of gentlemanhood

Long ago, 300 years ago… two queens fought for the throne…

Queen Elizabeth the First…

And the beautiful Mary Stuart

The two legendary heroes dedicated their swords to Mary

[George & (Tarkus)]

Tarkus, his strength could cut through rocks like butter… (My strength can cut through rocks like butter…)

[George & (Bruford)]

Bruford, his spirit could strike down his enemies with ease… (My spirit can strike down my enemies with ease…)

[George]

The two with no relatives, honed their strength in search of conflict

They found solace in Mary's kindness and pledged their loyalty to her

One day, however, their master, Mary, was charged with murdering her husband by Elizabeth and was arrested

The two heroes would not cease until they rescued Mary

In order to stop the two heroes, Elizabeth called out to them,

"Both of you, surrender at once!"

"If you do so, I shall spare your master's life!"

[Tarkus & Bruford]

There is no way we can refuse…

We have no regrets. Our lives belong to our Queen…

[George]

But just as they were to be executed…

[Executioner]

I'll let you know as a gift for when you pass on

As of last night, your master is no longer with us

Yesterday, I cut off her head

She's lying here just like a piece of trash

If we let her live, we would be risking a rebellion!

[Tarkus & Bruford]

You've betrayed us, Elizabeth!

I curse all of you with my grudge…!

I curse you for all eternity!

[George]

Tarkus's rage made his muscles as hard as iron, and they were unable to cut through his neck…!

Bruford's regrets took form as his hair entangled, resembling that of a living creature…!

They lived with heavy hearts…!

In this tale of knights…

[Dio]

Their delusional conviction gave me goosebumps!

[Jonathan]

They had such loyal spirits!

[Dio]

But they should have done better

In the end, they couldn't accomplish anything from within the mud. You could call their efforts useless!

[George]

You may be right, but nothing is without purpose

The same applies when you came to this house. Everything is connected!

[Jonathan]

I want to believe that they continued to look at the stars!

[George]

People all live in this prison called fate, where they reach out their hands…

Whether you see the stars or the mud, either one…

JoJo…

Dio…

Can be called righteous...!

And, indeed, even if she's not willing. Seeing your gentlemanhood might bring out her ladyhood. Even if not, it's still your duty if you're Christian.

If she’s willing to be a lady for you, be a gentleman for her.

[ask-the-calendar]

I believe thou might hold a confused notion o gentlemanhood.

You're the confused one. True gentlemen don't gatekeep!

he’s got weird ideas about gender he’s an open misandrist he holds himself to stringent ideals of gentlemanhood he exalts girls & womanhood to the point where it raises “are you sure you’re 100% Binary Dude” eyebrows he dresses exclusively in either tailored three piece suits or tacky colourful button ups a gsa kid found in their ska punk father’s closet he combines sugary lovesick foppishness with vulgar tough guy masculinity in a way i adore and im almost certain he would love having boobs

that dude is transgender in ways i didn’t know could exist

This little monologue has ruined the whole scene! Because I'm not going run it without it but I'd rather not leave it in, even though it's super in-character, because of the tone dissonance.

(Context is that L has said "Light, if you wish to become more of a gentleman, I can teach you.")

If I say no, I have no interest in self improvement — a Kira-like trait —, but Kira would say yes to avoid suspicion and comply with L regardless. He knows I have neither a strong interest in nor aversion to gentlemanhood, so I can't simply reject his offer outright because I'd hate the lessons… but they'd take up so much time that I'd rather spend scheming. He has me cornered -- I have to accept! However, a lack of strong interest means it is also not in-character for me to jump on an offer which was phrased to put the burden of interest on me. How to best accept in a mild manner that is also not Kira-like..? I can't say "I'd like that" because it would be a lie and lying is a Kira-like trait. "That sounds nice, Ryuzaki," Light said. 

Pov fix and quotation marks because even though I'm saying it "ruined" it, I totally wanna branch out a whole new fic from this scene hehe.

I tried doing an overthinking-monologue in Light's fic and now I think I may have to cut the whole scene for tone haha (and make into a separate fic, of course). I've never cut for tone before (and tbh Demolition Duo suffers a little from it) -- if I'm writing a Normal scene in an Angst fic but my brain goes "wouldn't it be funny if..?" I usually just leave the Funny in.

ok so the layers

direct homage to old bond movies

appears to subvert certain expectations about race and class in british society (eggsy isn’t oxford educated like all those other assholes)

actually reinforces these expectations (eggsy got into kingsman selection process bc of his dad, literally all the candidates are white)

subverts this again (dad is implied to be from a similar socioeconomic background to eggsy, harry was just in love with him lol)

but there’s more!!!!!

harry is (let’s be honest) a gay man and therefore automatically falls completely outside the realm of the traditional british gentlemanry or whatever

harry’s idea of gentlemanhood has nothing to do with your background and more to do with “being better than you were yesterday” but it turns out that actually means “being willing to lay down your life to uphold britain’s legacy of colonialism and keep things running business as usual”, which eggsy inherits from him

eggsy is willing to die for this shady ass private spy organization because he figures it’s the most important thing in his life?????

super predatory selection process preying on young folks who are already acclimated to following orders (eggsy is ex marines?) and have nowhere else to turn?????

parallel to valentine’s whole uh ecofascist evil plan except kingsman are the good guys obviously. no fascist characteristics whatsoever in that organization

harry saved margaret thatcher’s life. cringe.

harry killing the entire westboro baptist church. sexy.

ooh gender talk, local alastor’s gender is something i have a hard time pinning down actually, which is unusual for a muse of mine, but he’s kind of all over the place?

- the world is a stage = all gender is drag (see: judith butler)

- alienation from manhood due to his asexuality (ace men have a lot to say on the subject that I can’t paraphrase in a bullet point)

- performative southern gentlemanhood as a form of manhood he doesn’t feel detached from, including the use of power as protection of the weaker (see, the comic, the hotel after pentious threw down, ‘want me to kill that guy for you?’ as gender)

- an affinity towards women friends & generally getting along better with women / being more comfortable with them / relating better to them. -> he’s had plenty of time to wonder huh, was I supposed to be a woman, then? (and he concluded he wasn’t ‘supposed’ to be anything.)

- absolute perturbation that will wood can just say ‘i wish i was a girl’ casually. you’re allowed to do that?

- physical sex dysphoria. he did not sign up for a dick. he doesn’t want a vag either tho, he doesn’t want tits, he wants nothing.

- sticking him in drag where he doesn’t pass is dysphoria inducing. passing doesn’t bring a sense of gender euphoria though.

- defensiveness about having his manhood brought into question because straight people love to treat queer men as Men Lite or Not Real Men and he’s really not about to deal with the same shit he’s dealt with for both his disinterest in sexual pursuit and for having dated men / being out as bi since the 20′s.

if you ask him he’ll just say he’s a gentleman. he doesn’t find having an internal sense of gender to be meaningful or consequential. he presents himself as a dude and it doesn’t need to be any deeper than that to his audience.

[kirfluffbon]

his masculinity and gentlemanhood is very important to her but his exaltation of womanhood is to such an extent that i think she’d be happiest as a girl in addition to that and in this essay i will

no you were right about the sea cook.

just “huh, me? i use he/she and il/elle because i love and respect women so much .)” [doesn’t elaborate or think about it any further]
