Most of these "artifacts" are fake art projects made by golems to rewrite history and corrupt and destroy humanity. You think this shit doesn't wear on your conscience but it really does, even if you don't remember it all.
Artifacts like these all come with a Christless, vicious, ultraviolent message.
The message here is that white people are cruel and insane, worse than demons, uncaring about all who deviate from our (nonexistent) order. The Skeksis commission these artifacts from their loyal golem craftspeople, because they hate us, and they want us to stop having children and die out. The reason they hate us is that they are cruel and insane, worse than demons, and uncaring about all who deviate from their (all consuming) order. They are Satan's people. Thanks to their rulership, the entire world seems to work off this principle of total inversion.
What they are, they claim that we have always been.
Then they claim that they are simply rebelling against us! After a mythical billion years of Christian rule. And this is the evidence of that rule they provide. They love this sort of shit. "Look at what you used to be." But it's fake. This is a fake artifact. It was made as an art project.
In the pop-history sphere they obfuscate both conflicting "historical truths". Stories of our all-powerful rule, and their somehow also all-powerful rebellion. They obscure it through bullshit. Through gatekeeping, hoaxes, and misinformation. But it's more than just obfuscation, it's rulership, it's domination, and to the white Christians born into their world, it's genocide.
This is their principle of "Chutzpah" or the act of them lying so outrageously that power either flows to them, or it's fight or flight in order to save lives. "Do you agree with Rabbi that a white person could ever put another white person in an ugly monster mask in an act of pure fucking evil? No? You don't agree? You've never met any white person like that ever in your life? Then you're a deviant from the norm. You're obviously racist, or sexist, or xenophobic or something. Definitely violent, because look, you're trying to make excuses for the non-existent people who used this mask. Your people. You should have accepted our Chutzpah-truth about your people, because now you're bad and you will not have friends anymore."
"Fall in line, or be shut out."
You'll never catch a white kid questioning history in school. It was demonstrated to them not to be "that guy" in class, in just about every Hollywood movie and Disney original series. And since nobody questions it, it wears on their subconscious! Many believe in this sort of shit!
In fact everyone who reblogged this probably passively believed it, and will go to their grave believing it. The evil death mask for crazy people! Boy isn't mankind fucking cruel and insane! Aren't you an evil race of monsters, you white Christians? Sure kids will roll their eyes and say "yeah it's all bullshit" but none of them ever get it. It really is ALL bullshit. Completely and aggressively fake and pushed at every opportunity.
Through joyous "Chutzpah" and infiltration, there is now practically nothing left of true, Godly reason or order. Certainly not true history. And the best course of action for anyone with two brain cells is to shut up and wait for the absent Christ. Who is currently fucking somewhere. Like on a beach or something watching us be exterminated by wave after wave of pure overwhelming bullshit like this.
Children born into this shit are led by artifact after hoax after lie after "psychotic Christian" character on TV after fake three paragraphs in their history textbook, into being hopelessly insane. Into believing that what they are, inherently, is cruel beyond measure, and that their own kindness and goodness and Christlike love for what is true and good is somehow unique to them, and that the best course of action is to unalive themselves. So that they don't give birth to any more monsters. That makes them the hero.
If any of the fake stories like the one this mask implies were true, then this would indeed be the right thing to do. But not one of their stories are true. And their stories, their histories, outnumber the real ones. Who fucking knows by what percentage?
But nobody tells white Christian children any of this, so we see so many LGBT people and other such white people being extinguished. Little boys and girls valiantly and righteously ENDING his or her own bloodline through the many available paths to degeneracy and infertility and doom. Estrogen and castration and gooning. Until they are no more. God's creation destroyed.
And all this nonsense they're forced to see by the algorithm and memorize in school, all of it, completely and totally fake. This artifact is FAKE. It, like many others, manufactured by an entire army of golem craftspeople. And distributed by an entire army of golems, in the millions, that only a handful of shadowbanned and gangstalked people believe exists at all.

gojo who goes all out during this holiday season. he just loves it so much. buying presents for everybody to open before and during christmas. he has the money, so why not just use it.
gojo who goes all out on the decorations. he finds the biggest tree available and begs you to decorate with him as you make jokes while you're decorating. and when it's finally time to add the top decoration, he makes you climb on his shoulders and place it yourself and then steps back to admire both of y'alls work.
gojo who wants to wear matching ugly sweaters with you the days near christmas. just the idea of you and him, sitting by the fireplace in each other's embrace while drinking hot chocolate makes him feel all tingly and giddy.
gojo who wants to host a small get together with all of his closest people including yours, and does all the shopping and asks you to prepare everything with him, because even though he is the strongest, there are some things that he needs help with. and besides, you're a better cook than him anyways.
gojo who stays up late with you on christmas eve, basking in each other, and then wakes you up really early on christmas with kisses all over your face behaving like a kid would on christmas and practically begs to eat the fruit cake in the fridge that you baked a couple days ago.
gojo who takes you out to a cafe if it hasn't snowed that much and strings you along to a frozen lake at the park to skate with you. the both of you don't know how to, so expect a lot of falling on your asses, but at least you're having fun.
gojo who ends the day with a long passionate kiss just before you get into your home and says,"i can't wait to spend all of my remaining christmases with you..."

suguru who is exited about the holidays because his favourite girls are so excited for the holidays. he only listens to the three of you on what you want, from the decorations,how big the tree will beĀ  to what you'll be doing on that day. and he'll gladly pay for eveything.
suguru who gets you all clothes to wear through out the season. he gets the girls new coats so the can spend more times outside playing in the snow without getting that cold as the two of you watch over them through the window with mugs of hot beverages in hand.
suguru who counts down the days to when he can see the reaction you all have opening his thoughtful gifts. he can't help but grin to himself as he crosses of yet another day on the calendar as you look at him confused.
suguru who lets nanako and mimiko out on some days to do whatever they want so that he can spend so alone time with you. he loves his two girls, but he needs to show you some love too in the most special ways possible.
suguru who prepares a feast on christmas eve for the four of you to sit together and eat as a family and just talk about whatever the mood brings. his heart swells as he watches nanako and mimiko fighting over the potatoes and you just laughing at them.
suguru who woke you all up early in the morning on christmas with a bunch of gifts for each of you and shrugs off the thank you's from his girls. but the moment you hand him a small box, be looks confused. "what is this?". "it's from all of us suguru. merry christmas", you say with a smile as he takes it and his heart melts when he sees inside.
suguru who can't help but smile when he sees the watch that he had been eyeing some weeks ago and you bought it... for him. and with tears in his eyes gets up and hugs all three of you, " merry christmas"

nanami who's only really happy that it's the holiday season, because he can get to spend time with you, cuddles up together, lazy mornings and helping you around the house just he can stay extra close to you.
nanami who isn't really big on the holiday mood, so he doesn't really want flashy decorations, but with a bit of convincing from you, he agreed to hand some lights outside and have a small fake tree inside to at least make you happy.
nanami who doesn't really enjoy the cold that much so he opts to stay inside with you all warm under the covers, drinking cups upon cups of his delicious hot chocolate and just talk about the weird dream you had last night.
nanami who is chasing you in your back yard through the snow, the sound of snow crunching under his feet and you laughter makes him smile. he may be enjoying himself, but he will get you for tickling him on his sides to catch him by surprise.
nanami who wants to stay in bed with you on christmas morning, stroking your hair and back, pressing soft kisses on your face, telling you how happy he is to have someone as special as you to spend the holidays with.
"i'd never dream of spending any christmas with anyone else, darling..."

and is there any chance for us to get GoD spoiler for the christmas eve as wellā€¦.
Suuuure have the whole first section including a very jealous Zhongli.
"Set up the tents on the far side of the shore; make sure you check the party against the full log!"
A gust of healing magic from the Adepti had Vautrin hobbling around the makeshift refugee camp set up on the shores of the lake. Hundreds of researchers and guests sat clustered around campfires, drying their soggy clothing and sipping on tea brought by helpful melusine. If Carole's sisters had a hard time winning over the Fontish, they had no trouble endearing themselves to guests from other countries who seemed happy to entertain the little creatures. Or maybe they were just happy to be alive; Vautrin's divers had yet to recover any bodies other than the body of the rogue scholar, but that still didn't mean everyone had escaped unharmed. Doctor's tents were treating cuts, broken bones, and bruises, but Sigewinne had her hands full trying to keep her most stubborn patient in place.Ā 
"Sir, you should really keep off your feet," Siegwinne huffed, trailing behind Vautrin as he approached a tent surrounded by a small pack of gardes and armed Eremite mercenaries, eyeing one another warily.Ā 
"There will be time for that later," Vautrin said, stepping past Marius and ducking his head in the tent. The man who had tried to kill himself and Eponine was sprawled out on a table, his skin sallow and waterlogged and eyes staring blankly up at the ceiling.
"You mean to say this man was expelled?" Neuvillette huffed, glaring at the scholars across the table. "How convenient that the Akademiya has nothing to do with two attacks on the Hydro Archon's subjects in two days."Ā 
"Your Grace, as I have said, thisā€¦renegade was disfellowed for disgusting crimes against our own people," the head scholar said, turning her nose up at the man's corpse. "Whatever mayhem he caused in your country, it was caused without our knowledge or consent."Ā 
"Odd that the legendary Matra could lose a single man so quickly," Neuvillette huffed. Behind him, a tall Liyuen man observed the situation silently, eyes flicking to Vautrin as he stood quietly off to the side and waited to be addressed. Neuvillette seemed more agitated than usual and Vautrin didn't want to step between him and his defendants just yet.Ā 
"He isā€¦was a fugitive from justice; the Matra were on his tail for months before this and lost him as he fled into Liyue," the scholar said, turning her attention to Neuvillette's Liyuen guest. "Perhaps he found the cause and strength to attack your Archon thereā€¦at any rate, he is dead."Ā 
"My captain says he was attempting to steal our technology in the chaos," Neuvillette said, nodding to Vautrin who took a shaky step forward. "Technology the Akademiya showed interest in during the demonstration."Ā 
"With the greatest respect, M. Neuvilletteā€¦our scholars do not need to resort to petty thievery to advance our scientific programs," the scholar said, bristling a little at the implied accusation. "We have wonders of our own and the means to make themā€¦means that Zandik lacked after being disfellowed. From what I know of his reputation, I would wager he was trying to establish a new lab with technology he stole."Ā 
Neuvillette looked barely convinced, but it was clear his mind was elsewhere. "...do you have paperwork that corroborates your claims?"Ā 
"In triplicate," the head scholar said. "I will petition the Matra to send all relevant documents to you as soon as I return to Sumeruā€¦assuming I have your leave to depart."Ā 
"There is insufficient evidence to detain youā€¦and despite this ugly turn of events, you are still welcome to remain in the city until the festivities end tomorrow," Neuvillette said. "You are, after all, Lady Furina's guestsā€¦"Ā 
"Thank you, my lord." The scholar bowed, departing with her mercenaries before Neuvillette could change his mind.
"Are you well, Vautrin?" Neuvillette asked, his glare softening as it turned on Vautrin. "M. Eponine said you were stabbedā€¦and received a Vision from heaven."Ā 
"All in all, not a bad day," Vautrin coughed, rubbing his side. "Is Eponine's family alright?"Ā 
"Shaking off a near death experience like only eight year olds can," Neuvillette sighed. "Last I saw them, they were being entertained by Amelia and Elizabeth so I'm sure they'll liveā€¦are you well enough to assume command of the rescue effort?"Ā 
"Sir," Vautrin said, saluting with a slight wince. "I will have a report on your desk by tomorrow morning."Ā 
"Tomorrow afternoon will suffice," Neuvillette said, glancing at Zhongli. "I will be busy until then."Ā 
With that, Neuvillette swept out of the tent, Zhongli close behind him.Ā Ā 
"Strange to think that one human caused so much chaos," Neuvillette muttered to Zhongli as they walked through the lingering crowd of refugees that had not already departed for taverns to tell the story of how Lady Furina saved everyone from a Hypostasis. He was sure to plant that nugget with Fantine and Marius, letting the little gossips spread the little lie.Ā Ā 
"Humans are capable of great and terrible thingsā€¦especially in numbers," Zhongli mused.Ā 
"You think this Zandi acted with help?"Ā 
"He already enlisted assassins to send your security forces into disarray; I would guess he has some other sponsors or accomplices still unaccounted for," Zhongli said. "Your investigation is only beginning, I fear."Ā 
Neuvillette sighed, steam escaping from his nose. "More work for after the festivitiesā€¦if I never plan another party like this, it will be too soon."Ā 
"Lady Furina might compel you regardless," Zhongli chuckled. "I assume she is alright?"
"Unharmedā€¦more irritated that the creature destroyed her laboratory than anything else," Neuvillette lied. Furina had, after some haggling, been returned to the Palais for her own safety, but more because a second near-death experience rattled her more than a goddess ought to be rattled. One of them needed to be a symbol of strength for her people, and at the moment it wasn't Furina.Ā 
"Goodā€¦I didn't think a Hypostasis would prove to be much of a challenge for her skill," Zhongli said, leading them over to a small glen where Hu Tao sat with her head pillowed on Xiao's lap under a tree.Ā 
"Heyyyā€¦can we go home now?" Hu Tao whined, opening her eye to look up at an exasperated Zhongli.Ā 
"You said you had enough energy to transport Neuvilletteā€¦" Zhongli sighed.Ā 
"Barely," Hu Tao said, rubbing her eyes with a wince. "And I'm clearly paying the price for my delusions of grandeur so spare me the Fussy Dragon routine."Ā 
"Hmph! Perhaps you would prefer the Fussy Crane routine?" Cloud Retainer huffed, returning with a bowl of rags soaking in a fragrant liquid.Ā 
"Aiya, my head hurts; can't you just leave me alone?" Hu Tao grumbled as Cloud Retainer replaced the cloth on her forehead.Ā 
"Once we're sure that a headache is all you're suffering from," Xiao sighed, Anemo energy dancing on his fingertips as he siphoned something dark out of Hu Tao's temples. "What were you thinking, opening the door between worlds for a couple of human souls?"Ā 
"She was thinking she could prevent a war between Liyue and Fontaineā€¦and I trust she has accomplished her goal," Zhongli said, glancing at Neuvillette.Ā 
"War was never an option; whatever difficulties might have risen out of this would have been settled between the pair of us," Neuvillette said brusquely. "I see no need to involve mortals in disputes between gods."Ā 
Zhongli suppressed a small smile. "Goodā€¦that said, I think I'd like to take my adepti somewhere a little quieter for the night. Assuming we're no longer needed for rescue operations?"Ā 
"No, you've done enough for us for the moment," Neuvillette said with a small bow in Cloud Retainer's direction. "I am told Lady Cloud Retainer's skill was instrumental to our people's safety."Ā 
"Wellā€¦one had some help in that respect," Cloud Retainer said, eyes wandering over to a Mondstatian bard playing for a group of waterlogged children near the water's edge. "But one is glad to be of serviceā€¦if a touch disappointed that one will not have the chance to wear the outfit one created for the second gala."Ā 
It would have been bad optics to host a party on the night after a disaster and this party was already struggling with optics for a number of reasons. The parade and ceremony the following morning would be the final official event, where Furina would "commune" with the Oratrice to receive a new vision of Justice (coincidentally her vision). He knew she must be disappointed; she was already crestfallen that so much of her party had been ruined by malevolent forces that had kept them apart all weekend. There was a personal element of disappointment Neuvillette could sense coming from her; much as she tried to be selfless, she was not immune to being unhappy that her birthday party had been all but ruined.Ā 
"You are of course welcome to attend our parade tomorrow morning," Neuvillette assured her. "I must apologize again for our rather strained first meeting; you have since proven yourself to be above suspicion and a friend of Fontaine through your actions."Ā 
"Alright, that's enough flattery," Xiao muttered under his breath, though not quietly enough for Neuvillette's ears not to take notice.Ā 
"Flattery implies I'm doing anything other than expressing my most sincere gratitude," Neuvillette said, accepting Cloud Retainer's offered hand and watching as Zhongli's eyes sharpened into reptilian slits. "In Fontaine, we are never shy about appreciating women of exceptional skill and eloquence."Ā 
"Ohā€¦w-well, one is always glad to hear her efforts are appreciated," Cloud Retainer chuckled, even as Zhongli's jaw tensed the longer their handshake went on.Ā 
Ah, so Rex Lapis isn't as unflappable as he seems, Neuvillette thought, sparing the Archon a curt nod before deigning to let go of Cloud Retainer's hand.Ā 
"No one appreciates Cloud Retainer quite like I do," Zhongli said, one arm snaking around her waist possessively. "Thank you for your hospitality, M. Neuvillette; I'm sure you have many things to concern yourself with and I do not want to keep youā€¦perhaps Lady Focalors and I might have a few words in private before we depart?"Ā 
"Perhaps," Neuvillette said. When it snows on the hills of hell. "I will let you know if she has time after her communion with the Oratrice tomorrow morning. Until then, please enjoy the remainder of the festival."Ā 
Hu Tao watched Neuvillette go, waiting until he was out of earshot before looking up at Zhongli still clutching Cloud Retainer around the waist. "You're not as subtle as you think you are."Ā  "I had no intention of being subtle," Zhongli muttered, snapping his fingers and manifesting his teapot and vanishing them all in a puff of steam.

Grian: Let's just agree to both say we're sorry on the count of three. Grian: Oneā€¦ twoā€¦ three. Scar: ā€¦ Grian: ā€¦ Grian: See, now I'm just disappointed in both of us.
Scar: See, the problem is, Grian, youā€™re playing 3D chess. Iā€™m playing 4D. Grian: Iā€™m playing checkers. I donā€™t know what the fuck youā€™re playing.
Grian: walking around disappointed after visiting an aquarium Scar: Grian, what did you think a tiger shark was?
Grian: walking around disappointed after visiting an aquarium Scar: Grian, what did you think a tiger shark was?
Grian, hungover: Please tell me I'm imagining that I claimed I was king of the ducks. Scar: I would, but then I would be lying to the King of All Ducks.
Scar: Are you okay? Grian, crying: Yeah, it was just the onions. Scar: Picks up an onion What the fuck did you say to Grian?
Scar: Compliment me. Grian: You have eyes. Scar: Yeah, that works.

rereading Fairest bc I have my own copy now (yay $2.50 at a used bookstore!) and so far it's as lovely as I remember
but anyway I do like how Aza's "ugliness" is characterized by people actually treating her badly because of it. People talk about the stereotype of YA protagonists being like "oh poor me I'm so ugly" in an attempt to make them relatable but the narrative actually treats them like they are gorgeous and every character that isn't a villain finds them attractive.
Vs. here it's like. yeah her self perception is all tied up in cultural ideas of beauty and she's definitely not objective either, and a lot of what she thinks is inherent to her ugliness is all wrapped up her related social anxiety, etc.
but! It's very refreshing to see a book that deals so much with beauty standards actually commit to it! It's not like she's just vain and obsessed with looks! You can tell she wants to be beautiful because she wants to be treated like a person! The way it is just that blatant! Most people are rude to her or ignore her! And she makes it worse in her head and compounds the problem by letting her own insecurity draw attention to herself, but at the end of the day, she's right! People would treat her better if she looked different!
The details that we get about her appearance are not even "ugly" traits, either! Like we get the pale skin, black hair, red lips combo pulled directly from the traditional Snow White fairy tale, where those traits are supposed to be beautiful and desirable! But in this culture, apparently those traits are a part of her ugliness, which just perfectly highlights how the beauty standards are inherently arbitrary! And yet! They affect her life in real ways! It doesn't matter much how we, the reader, picture her; we believe that she is ugly because people treat her like she is!
Anyway I especially love how her insecurity regarding her size is portrayed. The combo of feeling small and meek and timid on the outside but being large and imposing on the outside. She feels like she takes up too much space. She doesn't want to wear anything at all attention grabbing. She doesn't know what to do with her limbs. Her biggest fear about demonstrating her magical singing trick is that she would have to show people how she moves her stomach (the horror!)
anyway everyone ever should read Fairest. I could write 12.5 dissertations on it. fantasy books for 12-year-old girls are the most serious fiction in the world actually

//suggestive
Going to finally make a post about this bc its been haunting my mind for a good month or two at this point--
This is a brief-ish post about guns being used as a metaphor for masculinity, power, and potential stand-in for phallus imagery in the dollars trilogy. I'll also be speaking about these things from a general stand point too, but I'll try to focus on how and where they interconnect.
I doubt most ppl will read all of this but I have brainworms so I need to put this out somewhere .
I think a lot of these points can be said about Westerns in general, btw. Not just Leone movies. However I'll focus on the dollar trilogy because this is already too long and needs to have a focus.
Now, I'm sure masculinity will need no defining, but I'll briefly show what definition of phallic imagery I use;
(Yes I'll eventually tie all this to the homoeroticism present in the movies, with a slight feminist bent to this analysis)
Tumblr media
(I want you to keep in mind throughout this post that guns are metaphoric stand ins for dicks lol, just so i dont have to keep repeating that all the time)
I think this definition is quite good as it incorporates the concept of power into itself, which imo is a must-have when discussing masculinity in artwork.
As expected, there is an undeniable connection between phallic imagery and masculinity, which is also tied to power. A lot of masculinity throughout human history has relied upon genitals (even if not completely) to assert itself, which in turn, would affect the power relations men and women have, but also between men themselves. After all, the patriarchy is dependent on gender, with the male gender having the upper hand. This would mean, within a patriarchal society, men with more masculinity have more power, so we can see how sexuality is so tied to the patriarchy also, and how men will inevitably compete.
I'll start with perhaps one of the most obvious examples of this from the trilogy; which also conveniently has phallic imagery, or phallic metaphors.
Specifically, I'll start with the first proper interaction Colonel Mortimer and Manco have in For a Few Dollars More
(I'll link the clip just in case)
youtube
I'll state the obvious first; this is obviously a competition to define who would have the most power (and thus upper hand) in their relationship. That's why neither character backs down, and why there is a tense animosity between the two. Of course its also more complicated than that; Manco, the youngest of the two, is obviously taking this more seriously and is the more antagonistic. Mortimer seems to just be entertaining him at times, whilst also trying to show that his years of experience can give him the upper hand. Its a perfect scene presenting power, age, experience, who the characters are, and how their relationship will be forward from this.
And of course, as any western, guns are used for this.
Perhaps it's the perfect genre for what Sergio Leone wanted to present. Guns are the perfect metaphor for a phallus; they display power, they display masculinity, and they even have the shape! They can define life or death, much like how male sexuality, and therefore a phallus, can define a man's position in the patriarchy.
The shootout ends in a draw, as both Mortimer and Manco are skilled with their guns. Their stand-off for power and dominance led to a standstill and an equilibrium between the two. This will then define their relationship, as they form a equal partnership.
(And of course, perhaps Mortimer was being kind to Manco and held back a bit. He did the same in the end of the movie, by letting him take all the rewards. To Mortimer, there is more to gunslinging than an attempt to assert masculinity. And the fact that he holds back in his competition with Manco presents a level of respect he has for him, which adds on to the already existing homoeroticism of two men using guns to assert their dominance onto each other. I'd even argue that's what makes the homoeroticism purposeful, in this movie's case.)
There are other examples of guns bring used to impose masculinity throughout For a Few Dollars More. That is the crux of every final duel after all. But Mortimer and El Indio don't have significant homoerotic undertones so I won't get into it.
My other favourite example of this occurance in the dollars trilogy, is in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
It's a quick, small moment in a wider, longer scene. However I like how it gets across its message in a simple way.
It's the end of the scene where Angel Eyes forces a partnership onto Blondie.
Tumblr media
I think it's important to mention how this is how Sergio Leone chose to end a scene where Angel Eyes and Blondie form a partnership. Its basically telling the viewer that Blondie consents to working with Angel Eyes. On a surface level, Blondie is sliding the gun to its holster to show that he's making peace with Angel Eyes. However, further introspection on the subtext also reveals other things.
For starters. The slow sliding in and the zoom in on the gun, with it becoming the centre point of the scene, easily becomes homoerotic (I don't think I need to explain how sexually suggestive it looks), but with it being seen as a sign of peace, it can also be seen as a sign of not only consent, but also submissiveness. Blondie here is admitting that he's under the thumb of Angel Eyes, and he can't do anything about it, not even with a gun. He can't challenge his power, nor his masculinity. The phallic imagery here only adds on to all of these points, for reasons mentioned previously.
Moving on from specific scenes, I'll mention something present throughout the movie that the definition I used above also mentions; cigars can also been stand-ins for phallic imagery, and masculinity.
Do I really have to mention how The Man With No Name is literally always having a cigar in his mouth ??? Its a very obvious oral fixation, one that Sergio Leone uses to his advantage.
Leone doesn't just use a cigar to make TMWNN look cool. The cigar, much like how a gun was used to represent Manco and Mortimer's, and Blondie's and Angel Eyes', relationships and partnerships, its also used to represent the relationship between Blondie and Tuco.
The scene where, imo, Blondie's and Tuco's relationship changes, is where Blondie offers Tuco a cigar after eavesdropping the conversation between Tuco and his brother.
Tumblr media
And Tuco takes it, smokes it and grins!
Tumblr media
Notably, Tuco's and Blondie's changing relationship is shown through a cigar rather than a gun, which is objectively significantly less violent, which sets them apart from the other relationships. There is also a closer contact between them, as in the other iterations of TMWNN never gave his gun to any ally of his, much less shared such a close contact as mouth-to-mouth.
The homoeroticism is rather obvious, and in this cade, it's present without power but still with phallic imagery.
(Another notable example was, if my memory serves correctly, in a Fistful of Dollars, Joe lights up a cigar for Ramone. But I won't mention that much since I could be confusing this for another movie, but if it did happen, it's also another scene packed with symbolism, and quite the opposite to Tuco's and Blondie's cigar scene).
Continuing to speak more generally, there are often focus and zoom ins on the guns in the movies. This peaks at the final Mexican standoff in GBU, where the guns are in their holsters and belts. Its natural that they'd be near their crotches too, but that only emphasises the masculinity, power and phallic imagery already present in the movie (as well as tension in the scene).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It comes with no surprise when Blondie chose Angel Eyes to shoot at. After all, Tuco and he had already made peace with each other. The only true masculine competition was between Angel Eyes and Blondie + Tuco.
There are also scenes where TMWNN shows off his skills with his gun; displaying his masculinity again through phallic imagery, so it's no wonder he went to become a figure of masculinity.
Tumblr media
There is also the scene where Tuco acquires a new gun after being abandoned by Blondie. That represents what was mentioned previously; how men often fight for power. In this case Blondie takes away Tuco's power and masculinity by humiliating him in a desert. Tuco acquiring a new, polished and refined gun is his way of reclaiming his masculinity after Blondie emasculated him.
I won't speak much about A Fistful of Dollars, because the relationship between Joe and Ramone isn't as developed as the other relationships in the other movies. But it's also worth noting how a focal point in the final duel includes Joe's pistol and Ramone's supposedly stronger gun.
"When a man with a .45 meets a man with a rifle, you said the man with the pistol is a dead man. Let's see if that's true. Go ahead, load up and shoot."
In here, Joe reclaims his masculinity through a final duel. I wish the movie had been longer so I could connect potential homoeroticism to this scene like I did with the other examples, but I think it's a good scene, so I mentioned it nonetheless.
Sergio Leone movies are very much centred around men. That's generally how westerns work, too. But I think it's interesting, as it adds aligns with the analysis that men uphold the patriarchy between themselves, and this is even more true with Leone movies as they include little to no women (whereas many westerns have at least one or two), so most interactions are between men.
I'm not suggesting Sergio Leone intended all this. I do think the homoeroticism, phallic imagery and masculinity is purposeful. He was a Marxist, so perhaps the feminist angle to all this was also purposeful, but I don't think that's the case. Much like his contemporaries, Leone focused on class analysis when critiquing power structures (this mostly in his other movies), so the patriarchal angle was perhaps unintentional. I like to give the benefit of the doubt to artists when analysing their art, though, so I'm always happy to be proven wrong.
As I said. This is way too long and no one will probably read all of it. There are far more examples but I won't include every bc this is already a long asf post.
What the conclusion? I need to stop thinking about gay people!!!!!!!!!
A look into how my braincells look whenever I think about these homos a bit too much;
Tumblr media
And this is how I felt writing this post:
Tumblr media
And the thing is there's so much more I can say but I don't wanna make this too long esp since this is me ranting more than a proper analysis but jfc Leone always made sure to make his movies so damn gay it's actually insane

How do you think about Frepper? I'm neutral about this ship, but the fans Frepper attitude towards confuses me, Ivy and Freckle have only been dating for a week and know each other superficially, but everyone already thinks that by the end of the comic they will get married, I think differently, I think that in the end they will break up with each other because they are too different personalities, I literally can't imagine that both of them will be happy with each other in marriage, Ivy is assertive and active, on the other hand Freckle is passive and just agrees with Ivy, this is not a guarantee of a healthy relationship where a partner completely dominates the other, plus to all that, I will not forget how their relationship started, Ivy just decided that they were dating, and without asking Freckle's permission, she just KISSED him, again without his permission, Frepper fans think that it's cute, but when I saw it, I thought "what the hell did I just see?", in general, it's strange for me that Frepper fans are okay with such things, of course later Freckle shows attraction to Ivy, showing that he likes her in some way too, but I still won't forget how their relationship started and how Freckle used to try to escape from Ivy when she squeezed his hand tightly and forced him to her ā€¦
I'm not against Frepper, but I don't understand his fans who don't see these issues and who treat other points of view on their relationship (like mine) as ā€¦ um, as nonconformity? Fans from reddit are just obsessed with Frepper, I don't know about other networks but that's how it is on reddit, I think there are people who have my opinion but are afraid to say it because of fans, of course, I met Frepper fans there who normally accept such an opinion, but still there is a feeling that such a opinion cannot be told
Simply put, Ivy and Freckle are a couple that will eventually break up with each other unless there's an event between them in the comic that changes my opinion of this couple, but that's how I feel about Freckle for now. I didn't plan to express my opinion, but it happened that way, I hope you don't mind it
first and foremost, i donā€™t mind seeing someone express their opinion in my inbox! you and anyone else are free to do so, even if i may disagree. this blogā€™s entire existence was made for me to share my opinions ( and love! ) for lackadaisy, as well as engaging with other fans, because what else is the point of a fandom blog? and as far as iā€™m aware, this is unpopular opinion central! most of my thoughts arenā€™t exactly the ones with the most voice behind them iā€™ve found, so i welcome all manner of different views. every fan is entitled to their own perspectives and opinions, and should be allowed to share them as they please! but with that disclaimer out of the way, iā€™m more than willing to discuss frepper in its entirety.
for me, thereā€™s little confusion i carry where it concerns this shipā€™s popularity amongst the fandom. freckle and ivy, if we are to strip them down to their bare essentials, are a rather stereotypically ā€˜cuteā€™ relationship : people enjoy opposites ( see zibwick or vikdecai for example ) and thereā€™s an endearing quality found in puppy love dynamics. seeing ivy wear the pants and drag a shy freckle around by his ankle makes for quality content in a way! think the ā€˜excuse me, but he asked for no pickles!ā€™ meme ā€¦ ivy and freckle very much fit that sort of mold, and it helps that most fans are too scared to ship them with other characters in the cast too, due to what they perceive to be a lack of options. thus, frepper is an extremely ā€˜safeā€™ ship! you cannot get in trouble for enjoying something that is not only canon, but is relatively adorable ; and so i donā€™t believe a lot of the fans are actually thinking too deeply about the likely endgame of it all. most donā€™t! itā€™s fun to ship, and thatā€™s all they really need i think. itā€™s also very easy to dismiss ivyā€™s forwardness as a quirk of being a young girl whoā€™s of her temperament, recklessly boycrazy although still carrying sweet intent. this behavior is easier to hand wave when neither ivy or freckle are experienced at the dating scene as well ā€¦ freckle due to his extremely religious upbringing and hermit nature, and ivy because of viktorā€™s constant meddling, which would hold her back more than youā€™d think. with that said, i donā€™t think any of this is excessively complicated. some shippers are rather simple minded and do not care for details and characterization all too deeply. enjoying dynamics is, at its core, supposed to be fun -- which makes simple ships like frepper prime targets for a very vocal and tight knit fanbase. there are other things i could speculate about why these two may hit so pleasantly for others, like how thereā€™s an underlying queer theme to it ( what with ivy being the pursuer and freckle the shy, blushing flower ) or that itā€™s tropey enough to hit the right spots for others ā€¦ though it all boils back to mere speculation. perhaps they still have time to escape this gangster lifestyle and live happily ever after? and that appeals to the lackadaisy fans who still want some sort of happy ending? itā€™s all a combination of frepper being easy, i think, and containing two young cats who still havenā€™t done anything particularly ā€˜unforgivableā€™ yet action wise. this is a ship you can root for without an ounce of worry in your heart, and so on and so forth.
but although i understand why others are so vocal about them, i donā€™t exactly agree with fanonā€™s views either! while i heavily enjoy frepper, i enjoy them as they are, and that includes their looming flaws and inevitable tragedy. they are bound to break each otherā€™s hearts a lot on their current path ; even if they were entirely perfect for one another, this lifestyle isnā€™t kind to anyone, meaning if they donā€™t separate, they could always be forced apart via bullets and such anyway. they are young and woefully inexperienced in a manner of things, the last thing they need is the stress of a rumrunner life driving their every action, you know? i know people see them getting out together, and that is likely on the table! i do see that in many ways, but iā€™m also of the opinion that ivy and freckle will diverge onto different paths at some point and temporarily call it quits. from where the comic currently stands and given my view on ivyā€™s arc, i see her growing disillusioned with where she is and the honor and fun she saw within it as a royal spectator will fade ; she will become wary, fearful, and her resilience will die ā€¦ meanwhile freckle will embrace it, similar to his cousin, fully understanding what it is and what heā€™s getting into ( like rocky, again ) but being unable to leave his refuge. i know lots of people think freckle will leave the lackadaisy first, but given his old concepts and former title as one of mitziā€™s ā€˜trouble boysā€™, i think he will become lost in the sauce for a myriad of reasons. frankly i enjoy that twist on their relationship! since i believe ivyā€™s character development will revolve around maturing, changing as time stretches forward, because her character is ever growing, what with her entire schtick being the fact sheā€™s everything a 1920s girl was during those times. she embodies that unladylike youth and manipulative sweetness, so iā€™d imagine a lot of her path is falling from such naive thrill seeking and stumbling upon a harsh reality. she will mature, and the very thing that should make their relationship stronger will be what divides them indefinitely. everything they have is founded on this bloody, varnished soaked ground after all ā€¦ they are young adults who are experiencing what closeness feels like outside of family or platonic friends for the first time, so naturally they will overindulge in their own amateur games ; find respite in the boogie and kiss like couples do on the silver screen, laugh about it, talk about everything and nothing at all ā€¦ relish in each otherā€™s warmth and stupidly loyal protection. iā€™m sure frepper will grow closer before any falling out, because as it stands, itā€™s one of the few things they have in such a scary situation that feels comforting and kind. they will impact each other in the fundamental ways first relationships do and, to move towards your biggest gripe, do things theyā€™ll regret or allow things to happen to them that theyā€™re not entirely okay with.
ivy is very forceful with freckle initially, albeit in her typical saturated way ; and i can see why that would be hard to parse! especially when freckle spends a majority of their first scenes together squirming away and hiding, trying to duck her affections and bolt for it. there is a lot of boundary crossing between them! but not in a necessarily malicious way ā€¦ like most things with frepper, this circles back to their mutual inexperience and how, in a lot of ways, this is their first ā€˜seriousā€™ romantic relationship ever. and itā€™s rather common for such firsts to involve gray areas, since neither party is entirely sure of what their own boundaries are just yet! while freckle did appear frightened by ivy at first, itā€™s important to note that tracyā€™s mentioned him having a flight response whenever girls flirt with him ā€¦ he is prone to run away instinctively, which if you consider his extremely religious upbringing, isnā€™t exactly a surprise. nina would no doubt look down upon freckle engaging with girls his age due to what most girls his age are currently doing in the roaring 20s theyā€™re living in. sneaking out and engaging in illegal activities, dancing in a way that would disgust most of the more traditional and older generation, casually engaging in any manner of sexual activity before marriage, etc etc. and this isnā€™t even listing freckleā€™s cagey nature due to an incident we know was bad enough to send rocky packing for years, and fundamentally changed freckle himself at such a young and impressionable age. he is ā€¦ very troubled! and rather scared of himself and the world around him ā€¦ at this stage in life, freckle is perpetually unable to make any progress towards anything he may want, and so i have little problem myself with ivy mostly taking the lead. when left to his own devices and allowed to choose outside of influence, freckle did in fact sneak out of his motherā€™s house to go to the lackadaisy, surely well aware that ivyā€™s intention had been romantically inclined. so, to me, he has always liked her ; perhaps found her cute, in a shallow way, saw her eccentric behavior as endearing and frightening in equal measure, and while heā€™s still wading into this whirlwind pool unsteady and shaken, he -- wouldnā€™t mind it if ivy pushed a little more, or moved him around to her ( and what she perceives to be, their ) liking. perhaps this dynamic is familiar enough to him that it becomes comforting, since rocky was very much the same way in their adolescence. tugging freckle around and pulling his tail for whatever rocky wanted them to do, with little care for whatever his baby cousin desired at the time, ignoring his protests and chasing him ; nobodyā€™s at fault here either, kids are extremely self absorbed and this is a flaw theyā€™ll usually mature past, and while ivy and freckle are adults during the comic, i donā€™t think ivyā€™s outgrown this linear view on things just yet. she is extremely entitled! she is used to being the apple of everyoneā€™s eye at the speakeasy due to her jazz baby status as atlas mayā€™s goddaughter, and this gangster connection excites and awes the ladies she attends classes with at her university too. ivy pepper is used to getting her way and this has only fueled her determined attitude, her ā€˜pull it up by the bootstrapsā€™ mindset, and in many ways, this is something of a flaw for her. itā€™s not bad to be confident and headstrong, although when you add that into a dangerous mix of rumrunning and gunslinging, it may become a problem rather quickly. but i digress! point is, ivy and freckle are hardly at fault for the awkward way they handled the start of their relationship, when itā€™s so new and fresh to them both.
neither of them have boundaries at this moment, as they either have no clue what those are or simply havenā€™t realized they should set them. so, in turn, there are things that the other may do that could cause their partner discomfort ā€¦ and itā€™s mostly done out of obliviousness and good intentions and your classic dose of intense affection. doesnā€™t mean it isnā€™t messed up to a degree, but i think itā€™s rather realistic, and is a hard truth that comes with many first relationships of that sort. sometimes you donā€™t know how to say ā€˜no,ā€™ or you agree and regret agreeing later, or perhaps you simply donā€™t understand thereā€™s certain things you arenā€™t ready for or genuinely just donā€™t like. again, itā€™s a very muddied area, and the two of them are vaguely navigating what is mostly foreign to them. theyā€™re bound to mess up! so i ivy some slack here, and applaud tracy on the realistic writing more than anything usually. young love also happens to be a great device to use for inexperienced characters finding themselves, through the good and bad of their relationship, and frepper is all about that. maybe freckle will inevitably bring up how he feels like he wouldā€™ve preferred it had ivy asked him out properly, or gave him time to court her in a traditional fashion ā€¦ and she will be surprised ( and a little wounded ) by this, since she had never considered it before ā€¦ too used to her way of things to realize thereā€™s another path they could take. i think this aspect of the relationship is important, and i can understand wishing that more frepper shippers would view it as such, or comment on it's morally gray nature without just calling it ā€˜cuteā€™ and leaving it at that.
tldr : they will most certainly break up at some point, maybe even multiple times! tracy has said before that they both have some serious maturing to do if their relationship is to be long lasting, and i doubt that maturing will happen to them both at once ā€¦ since they have different things to work on emotionally. but they will probably strongarm some major personal development within each other, as well as love one another with a fierceless abandon that most kids do. i could see them getting married, i could see them not, but i agree that if they were to be wed happily, theyā€™d have significant hurdles to overcome. but personally, frepper is something i adore mostly due to the impact theyā€™re bound to cause each other, and even if they are to separate and find someone new and more fitting, theyā€™ll always remember one another -- perhaps fondly, and sadly, and with some anger. a time theyā€™d like to forget, but a person theyā€™d like to remember ā€¦ which is my cup of tea overall! they much more interest me as they presently are anyway, where i can fiddle around with their budding romance and friendship bonding. and as lackadaisy grows in popularity, i do hope thereā€™s more frepper fans who see their complexity and flaws and explore them with all of it in mind.
anyway! i hope this was coherent, and that it was obvious that i agreed with you for the most part. i havenā€™t really talked about frepper before with anyone so many of these thoughts sort of burst out of me! and i feel like i have more to elaborate upon, but for the sake of simplicity i kept this short. oh well! surely this is enjoyable and informative regardless.

It is always so baffling for me when a canonically weird-looking and non-conventionally attractive (if not even ā€˜uglyā€™) male character is consistently drawn much more prettier, polished and beautiful and people PRAISE this as a good thing? I mean obviously not be mean to people for their art style, but it just rubs me in such a wrong way every time..
It doesnā€™t help that we all know that if it was to happen with a female character, everyone on the blue site would be upset about it and defend her unique features and imperfections with tooth and nail. But then when a male character is prettied-up compared to the canonical look, it is always seen as ā€˜thank you for your service uwuā€™ and ā€˜this is so much better than the canon uwuā€™.

Whenever a white hetalian is saying some racist shit I just remember how fucking busted they probably look irl like remember those pics of those hetalians who Nazi saluted outside of holocaust memorials and who did Nazi cosplays? Not a single 6 in that whole crowd in fact that were all sub 4s LMAOO so to fellow poc hetalians, tips for dealing with racism from white hetalians: think about how fucking gremlin-like they look behind that computer screen and laugh it off

I love when people out themselves so thoroughly when others are praising the apprearance of somebody with a unique body or face and they go all "Let's all stop being so patronizing, everybody can agree that that person is ugly! You guys need to stop pretending they aren't ugly and just be okay with the fact that some people are ugly!" and it's like hey looks like SOME GUY thinks everybody else is a judgemental asshole like they are
