Don Quixote , Masculinity , And Gender Roles ; How Not Conforming Saved Sancho .

So . This is where my life is , huh ? I can't complain .

( this is likely sooooo wrong but I wanna talk anyways. )

Lets get started with DonQui's design .

If you take a look , she chooses to look androgynous . Not overtly masculine , but not overtly feminine either .

Her figure is very boxy outside of her face .

This is caused by her coat and wider shoulders , which leads the viewer into thinking " masculinely " .

If you look up , her very round face , hair , and eyes are all traditionally feminine . She has very prominent eyelashes and starry pupils , creating a very " cutesy " look .

She has mixed elements of gender that are both shown in other sinners .

I will be using Heathcliff and Rodion as my examples .

Although Don's stature is smaller , you can clearly see the boxy frame . Her curves are a given , but they are the only thing stopping her from fully capturing the masculine body .

Prominent eyelashes and round shape , traditional feminine things that Rodion possesses . Don shares these traits , to a lesser degree .

__________________________________________________

Now lets move onto my interesting comparison , Dulcinea .

If we take a look at her design ,

She is very feminine . Long dress , long hair , prominent eyelashes , and the body .

She is everything Don is not .

And yet , she is miserable . A prize , a part of the parade , not a person .

A part of her dialogue goes as follows ,

"I am Dulcinea, the most beautiful... the most noble... I was given the role of the Carnival's Lady. I do not lead it; I am but another attraction of the Parade."

The role of the Carnival's Lady , I am but another attraction of the Parade .

She is gender conforming , a beautiful woman to be gawked and gazed at .

She is not a woman , not a person , but an object , a part of the Parade .

This is something Sancho did not confirm to .

If we take a look at Sancho , she chooses to present VERY masculinely .

Almost the role of a prince , not unlike Dulcinea's princess .

The difference is , Sancho is not conforming to the whims of the Parade .

Sancho had been sent away with Bari , drinking from the river and forgetting everything.

Even through this transformation , she had still chosen to look androgynously .

Through everything , she had resisted temptation and fought on .

Dulcinea conformed and was forcibly objectified .

Sancho fought and won her right to her name and freedom .

Don quixote , Sancho , whoever she is , she is a free woman who chose that freedom .

Hero , not heroine .

Oh so this isnt only don quixote’s ego, this is sancho’s ego

[toweringclam]

Look, I'm a shipper. I love to ship rare pairs. But I'm not crazy. I'm realistic. I know when I've been beat.

*sighs, tears down all her MeurDon posters*

DonClair is clearly endgame.

I like them bloodsuckers, need whole team of these little bitches

[korronotsoshiny]

Hero’s lyrics include “I am your biggest fan.”

And when you think about it, a windmill is a hugeass fan.

You get to fight Don Quitoxe strapped onto a Ferris wheel that looks like a windmill.

He literally is Sancho’s biggest fan.

Motherfu-

Both Don & Mersault getting the EGO based on a lesbian vampire is a reference to the fact they are both gay

[heedmycall]

How does he do it

[dasdrawtism]

Just took the La Manchaland trio for an excursion through the canto 7 dungeon

Worst fights were the optional shooting range and the first two Carmilla Corrosion encounters. After that the rest of the fights weren't so bad. The trio boss took a few resets, Carmilla fixer duo went down in 4 turns. Sancho didn't provide much challenge, but Dad Quixote was hard, not because of clashing, but because one of my 6 slots had to be used by Don, who I only allowed to dodge and use EGO when nobody else could clash high enough

Would recommend, just, not the Carmilla fights, it taking HP at the start of each turn mixed with them bleeding themselves wasn't great

the dream goes on

[sleepyminty]

While the elder bloodfiend called elena a crazed muderer and disapprove of what she’s done, you cant really blame her if her ancestor was a kusogaki who lived lavishly in the Library and a delusional Alucard who wont stop yapping about humans and knights and fixers bullshit

"That look of arrogant disinterest as though nothing before you was worth your concern. As though you were not a part of the world, but only a detached observer."
