Augusnippets Day 11: Breaking the Conditioning

Masterlist

Glenn opened his eyes slowly. He could hear Meadows calling his name from a million miles away, and his head felt foggy. The last thing he remembered was the mission going sideways -- but if Meadows was here, she must've pulled him out. He was probably back in the medbay at base, waking up after he'd let his ass get beaten into the ground by Dr. Spiral's minions. It would be far from the first time.

Meadows' voice sounded urgent, though, and he realized that he wasn't in a stiff infirmary bed. No, there was cold concrete underneath him. He sat up.

"Glenn? Can you hear me?"

"Where are we?" he said. He was in what seemed to be a cross between a clinic and a mad scientist's lair, filled with both ordinary medical equipment and bizarre, intimidating machines.

"We're in Dr. Spiral's headquarters. Do you remember what happened?"

"No… I remember getting ambushed and then��"

"Are you back, then?" She sounded desperate. "Oh thank god. I can't believe I got you to snap out of it."

"Back? What do you mean?" He looked up, and saw where Meadows' voice was coming from. She was strapped down to some kind of operating table. "Oh god, they captured you?" He sprang to his feet, looking at the thick metal cuffs holding her down. There was no obvious mechanism for removing them. "Do you know how to get these off?"

"Dr. Spiral has the controls, I think. You don't remember anything, then?"

"What happened?"

"Dr. Spiral captured you, Glenn."

"Captured me?" He racked his brain for something, anything. He had the vaguest memory of his archnemesis' face, gloating, and everything else was like a dream that had slipped away the moment he woke up. "How long was I out?"

"Two months."

"Two… no. No way. That can't be possible. I don't remember any of it," he said. "Was I just unconscious the whole time? Like in a coma, or stasis?"

Meadows looked away uneasily, filling Glenn with dread.

"Meadows, what happened to me? What did I do?"

"He made you into one of his minions," she said.

"No. I wasn't…"

"You were. We don't know what he did to you, but you were completely brainwashed. He gloated over it, made you his right hand man. And you were like a completely different person."

"That can't be right," said Glenn, swallowing hard. He looked down, and realized that he was wearing one of Dr. Spiral's uniforms, a purple jumpsuit with a multi-colored spiral embroidered on the pocket. "Shit."

"It's okay, it wasn't your fault," she said, as reassuring as she could be while strapped to a table.

"I didn't do anything that bad, right?" he said in desperation. "All of his minions are pretty mindless, so…"

"Not you," she said firmly. "I don't know what he did different with you, but you were… ruthless. Terrifying."

"But --"

"You caught Townsend when she was out on a mission. We still don't know what happened to her."

"Townsend -- I don't remember that --" he said. "Did I catch you too?"

Meadows laughed bitterly. "I really should have seen it coming. If there's anyone who knows how to beat me, it's you."

Glenn didn't even want to process it, didn't want to think about the things he'd done to his teammates while he wasn't in control -- not to mention what he might've done to civilians. His powers were dangerous even as a hero. There was no telling what Dr. Spiral made him do once he had his filthy hands on him. "How did you reverse it?"

"I don't know. You were about to inject me with some drug, I was trying to remind you of who you were to get you to stop… and somehow, it worked."

"A drug?" His gaze traveled to a syringe lying on the floor, halfway rolled under the table where Meadows was restrained.

"The rest of the explanation can wait, right?" she said. "You're free for now, but if Dr. Spiral returns, he might put you under again."

"I won't let that happen," said Glenn with far more conviction than he truly felt. After all, if he didn't even remember how he'd been brainwashed, he wasn't sure he could prevent it. "I'm going to get us both out of here, and then we can find Townsend."

He'd started to examine the table for any sort of control or release when a door slid open behind him. As he froze in place, staring at Meadows' expression of horror, confident footsteps approached him.

"Was there a problem with preparing the subject, Two?" said the all-too-familiar voice of Dr. Spiral. "She looks a great deal more awake than I'd prefer."

He had to play along. "My apologies… sir. Um, master. I dropped the syringe on the ground and was just about to recover it."

"Hm." Dr. Spiral grasped him by the shoulders, whipping him around, and his vision was filled with his mesmeric eyes. There were entire galaxies in them, deep and sparkling, so easy to get lost in --

Glenn broke his gaze, not wanting to fall in his trap.

"Oh, I see," Dr. Spiral said. "You've broken out of my conditioning, haven't you?"

"No, master."

"Nice try, minion, but I made you call me doctor, not master." Dr. Spiral grabbed his face, forcing Glenn to look straight into those dangerous eyes. "I expected this might happen. You always were far too sentimental about your old boss. But it's nothing a little quality time can't fix."

Glenn squirmed, trying to escape the pull of those eyes. Some part of him remembered, some part of him wanted nothing more than to relax and lose himself.

"Glenn! Don't listen to him!" Meadows yelled.

His vision became unfocused, his jaw hanging slack, as the stars in his nemesis' eyes swirled around him in perfect harmony, making him want nothing more than to submit --

"Glenn!"

With all the willpower he could muster, he shoved Dr. Spiral away from him and into a cart of medical equipment, diving for the syringe. He rolled over just in time for Dr. Spiral to recover and jump at him, stabbing the needle into the villain's thigh and pushing the plunger.

Hi! I saw your comment on leatherdaddies/leather/kink at pride and you mentioned how this type of masculinity isn't meant to be performed for a het audience, and removing that framework is essentially hollowing out this type of masculinity. (?) I've been looking into modern media portrayals of non hegemonic masculinity and I was wondering if you had some good intro sources for leather culture? Based on the info in that post I'm wondering if there's some bleed through with pop culture/TV and the modern pop cowboy/space western but I could just be jumping to conclusions. At any rate would sill love and appreciate any recs you would be able to give--if not, totally understand! Either way I love the info that you added to that post a lot!!

It's like you knew I didn't want to be working on my thesis and have come to save me.

Okay so, it really depends on what you want for like "sources for leather culture" because if it's leather culture as it exists today put on your tightest Levis, and your heaviest leather boots and go to the local gay bar on leather night and make friends (easier said than done I know I've always lived in rural America, also pls don't go gawk leathermen we can tell) But if you want historic sources that I can help you with better.

The two books I cite the most in my thesis when it comes to leather masculinity are 1. Urban Aboriginals: A Celebration of Leathersexuality by Geoff Mains and 2. The Leatherman's Handbook by Larry Townsend.

The first is much easier to get your hands on than the second. You can just by Urban Aboriginals on Amazon or Thriftbooks or bookshops, probably even your local gay bookstore if you have one, it's still in print. I have the third edition I love that book SO MUCH it was originally published in the early 80s, and I use it as a reflection of the "golden" age of Leather in the 1970s.

Unfortunately, The Leatherman's Handbook and The Leatherman's Handbook II are out of print. That is not to say you can't get your hands on them. I spent an obscene amount of money to buy the pair on ebay. But also, I once found a Lesbian SM reader in my school's library, so you might beable to get it though an interlibrary loan? or maybe a pdf exists?

Another useful text that I cite quite a bit is Leather Folk: Radical Sex, People, Politics, and Practice, edited by Mark Thompson. This is an anthology of essays written by, you guessed it, leatherfolk both gay men and others. (I am assuming because of the post that you are most interested in gay leathermen)

Regarding the rest of your post on pop-culture portrayals of non-hegemonic masculinity (I am assuming you are using that term in an academic "I've read R.W. Connell" way, if not RIP, sorry again I'm working my thesis the first chapter of which is very "I'm Read R.W. Connell") I have one thing to say:

I am 90% sure only three of these men are gay, that only three of these men are intimately aware of the costumes they are wearing. David Hodo, the construction worker, Randy Jones the Cowboy, and Glenn Hughes. I wish I could find the photo of the three of them in their costumes with one very important detail, a single button of their 501s is undone. If you are a gay man crusing in the 1970s you own a pair of levi 501s that are so tight you have to shimmy into them, and you leave one of the buttons undone to make your dick bigger. You can also just tell when they're dancing who understood the assaignment.

I give all this information because the village people have such a weird relationship with the gay community. I haven't done a lot of work with them specifically so I'm sure someone is gonna read this and know xyz. But these guys are named after the west village, where gay men lived in new york, and got their start preforming for gay men. the costumes they wear are of course different types of masculinity idealized in the gay community. Their songs (at least the first iteration of the village people) are usually about gay things. YMCA is of course about crusing, but "San Francisco" from their debut is even more overt along side "Go West," "In the Navy," and "macho man"

I've inserted this video as a visual so when I say, "the three gay ones understand the assignment," you know what I mean, their performance is campy where, where the other two are missing that.

But deconstructing the Village people, or at least the three queerest ones takes an understanding of queer history. In the same way that the Leatherman is a "biker," the construction worker is not really a construction worker (this is not to say that Leathermen are not often bikers, they are) The construction worker is a "Clone" the promiscuous gay men of the 70s who wore Levi jeans, work boots, tight t-shirts, and flannel and solicited sex from other clones in public. Similarly, the cowboy might be a cowboy, but he might also be one of the hundreds of men who hung out at western-themed bars (closely related to leather) and are the prototype of the bear. All three of these particular queer masculinities resist the feminine archetype of queer men HOWEVER, when produced for mass conception, they are camped up.

I think that this would be an instructive place for you to start, I don't know that I can help with more modern pop-culture though.

[darksideofthemamon]

🥺 🤡 🛒 ✨ 🎶

🥺 Is there a certain type of moment or common interaction between characters that never fails to put you in your feels when you draw it?

Hmm... well I enjoy it when Dark Glenn does this thing XD

It's like HHHHHHHHHHHH he's feeling so conflicted !!! ~

🤡 What sketch or detail in an image have you drawn that made you laugh?

I'm pretty sure I laughed a bit when I drew that cat for First Meeting, because I was having such a hard time! XD

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your images? Themes, feels, scenes, color palettes, etc.

If it's the actual art, I can't think of any. But for character design choices, I really like showing a character's personality or current life situation through their hair (case in point: AU Janus and Leene)

✨ Give you and your art a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉

Aww! Ok something nice I can say about my art is that when I look at it, I genuinely like it, and I think my younger self would not only be proud, but would never have thought I'd even get to whatever level I'm at now.

🎶 Do you listen to music/podcasts/audiobooks/podfics while you draw? What have you been listening to lately?

Ohh yes I do! I usually listen to music, or play shows in the background while working. I also listen to ASMR, historical channels (like English Heritage and Townsends), and movie/show analysis videos.

My recent favorite discovery is Cinema Therapy! I love how they analyze movies not just through a filmmaker's lens but a psychologist's as well.

Still hurts a bit when I don’t see Max Miller or Townsends on these lists.

But then I think of some other food channels that don’t get quite as much love, like Jun’s Kitchen, English Heritage, or Glenn and Friends. Yet I know some of these have collaborated with each other, and I wonder if anyone has done a web showing the connections.

Glam kitchen woman and that twink who makes old dessert recipes are on different ends of the same spectrum I just don’t know what that spectrum is yet

[tommyshawawesome1976]

Mick Jagger, Pete Townsend, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, and Roger Daltrey.

Thanks!

An important thing to bear in mind about Amaury Guichon is, his creations are actually edible - and tasty - in addition to being works of art. This is something which truly sets him apart from many other pastry chefs.

He is, however, kind of the odd one out here, in that he’s a trained, professional chef who is making his own unique works. I’m not objecting, mind, just observing that he’s basically a level 18 chocomancer while the others are level 6 cooks.

That said, I’d also like to nominate:

John Townsend: he does 18th century American colonial and frontier cooking, using original source material.

Glenn (and friends): late 19th and early 20th century Commonwealth cookery, largely Canadian and Australian foods.

There are a few others I personally follow, but they haven’t managed the huge following of these others, and a few unfortunately don’t have their own channel but have appeared with others.

I need a cooking show with these three as the judges. Please.

Another Featured Review on Journey with a Cinephile: A Horror Movie Podcast back from November as part of Italian Horror Month. This is an interesting movie that takes religion and uses space as a basis for it. Not a great movie overall, but one that I did enjoy. Have you heard of this one?

Pricey

I’ve been following Dylan Hollis’ TikTok channel for a while now - it’s actually the reason I even got an account on that platform, though I am starting to post a few videos.

I love the videos talking about old recipes. Townsend’s 18th century cooking, Glenn & Friends, even Max Miller. Each one is a fascinating window into one of the most important aspects peoples’ lives.

Dylan almost exclusively does vintage 20th century cooking - 1920s through 1970s. This, necessarily, covers quite a bit of Great Depression cooking.

The Great Depression was no joke. TBH, when I think about it I realize how very little I know or understand about it. But there is no dearth of recipes for feeding people on little to no money - Hoover Stew, Milkorno, Poor Man’s <insert thing here>, and so on.

Now, necessity is the mother of invention. Some of these are awful, some are remarkably good. All of them use foods which would have been cheap at the time.

And that’s a thing which is really quite remarkable. Great Depression cookery focused very heavily on shelf-stable foods. One of Dylan’s most popular recipes is peanut butter bread, because rather than relying on eggs and butter, it uses peanut butter. The Wacky Cake doesn’t use butter, eggs, or milk. Many also use raisins (cooked in water) in lieu of sugar.

However, several recipes use maple syrup. There are recipes which make use of lobster(!) but which make reference to the high cost of oats. Glenn of Glenn & Friends has also commented how hard it is at times to find recipes of the era which are practical: they often call for ingredients which were cheap then, and terribly expensive now.

I honestly find it utterly fascinating how this can work. Today, the biggest contributors to cost in food are processing and perceived luxury. Lobster and maple syrup are pricey; eggs, butter, and sugar are generally the cheapest parts of my foods. Cornmeal (once considered unfit for human consumption) is more expensive than white flour. Of course, it’s nonsense anyway because whole wheat flour is more expensive than either of those (????).

Granted, especially today, if you intend to put down serious money, you don’t buy flour: you buy the bread. prepared foods are invariably more expensive than the ingredients, which at least makes sense; it’s been that way since Roman times at least. Though what is most expensive has moved around a lot. Today, bagels are cheap - though, to be fair, the things we get in the store are wretched shadows of the true, fermented bagels of the past. But stroll through the frozen aisle and ask how much a meal from there costs compared to cooking it yourself.

Still, it’s really something to see how formerly expensive foods are now cheap, and cheap foods have become luxury commodities.
