More samplings from "J. C. Leyendecker & American Masculinity". On exhibit from May 5th to August 13th, 2023.

In relation to the text on the banner, it's also interesting to note that according to a credible art historian and creative director who did a panel related to the exhibit, Leyendecker uniquely had ownership of his images written into all his contracts. This meant that the company licensed one-time or limited-time usage for the work-for-hire image and sent the original back to Leyendecker.

another one of the reasons i cannot shut up about gunter is he throws the entire book out the window re: the concept of passive/blind loyalty to royalty

in FE as a series there's a heavy emphasis on royal bloodlines and an unfortunate idea of divine power and immutable supremacy of royals, whether in gameplay, story, or both. fates in fact leans into the "royals are a caste above" idea with the divine dragon blood on both nohr and hoshido's side, and arguably dissecting the ills of royalty is one of the major arcs in the game along with "what counts as family".

with that as context:

starting with gunter's entire archetype (knight, retainer) and role in the story as a dutiful caretaker of corrin from the prologue onward, he's introduced as this very subservient type of character. his lines are exceedingly humble, he comes across as a little fuddy-duddy, and while there's little glimmers of [some defiance] underneath with how proudly he stands all the time, it's easy to read it as simply being part of the furniture a la one of the servants while the royals get the limelight of the story.

... until (if you take the time) you pull back the curtain and you find out the projected image is the polar opposite to the raw hatred the man underneath feels about royalty.

i'm not going to regurgitate all the spoilers to his backstory here, but the absolute plot twist of his whole motivation is to get revenge on any and all royalty, and the sheer intensity of it (wrapped up to the degree of being possessed by "the big bad") is. noteworthy. his "secret" ending is the revelation itself pointing to him and saying 'you know, fucker has a point and he's willing to go to literal hell for the sake of spitting on your boots'

that defiance is. heady.

you really only get the full appreciation of this in hindsight after playing through rev and connecting the dots in the aftermath -- suddenly those little glimmers of defiance are a lot. more significant, and read as very calculated gestures by somebody who was forced to eat resentment for two-three decades and was only biding his time.

but then get this: the one time gunter visibly kneels across games is this absolutely. fucked up. erotic as hell mockery of a scene when he/anankos immobilizes corrin, and you "awake" to. whatever the fuck this is.

i think it's pretty telling that's the ""most" subservient body language we ever get from him and it is absolutely wall to wall loaded with subversive/malicious subtext especially knowing he's at the apex of his power here.

you know. especially considering corrin's a royal. :D;;;;

Hey guys. Some of you guys would have heard by now that the philippines will face four typhoons consecutively. I'm currently in the middle of preparing, with the funds my partner gathered for me last month; only I've come across a couple of problems; firstly. That our fridge broke. We live in a wooden house, and when it rains, our walls are very damp due to my country's general humidity. I suppose it caused some short circuiting in some of the wires. I've had the fridge repaired, but it also spoiled 2-4 days worth of food. Secondly. My mom's wallet got stolen. It had around 150 usd in it, that was supposed to go to our groceries for the last leg of November. I've been unable to find work on twitter, as a dying platform. And I am somewhat late in fulfilling my October commissions.. I have not been able to make art as a hobby.. in almost 2 months. None of my social media is growing because I work 10 hours every day, and I'm too exhausted to draw afterward. I have around 3 jobs, and with dollar dramatically falling, while food prices continue to skyrocket.. I am drowning. I am the only person in our house who works. All my three family members are disabled. I pay for my sisters tuition fees, I'm pretty much her parents in all respects. Elon Musk destroyed one of the platforms where most of my clients come from. And my other work will only pay me once I deliver 200 pages of work. Humbly, again, asking for help, prayers. Anything.

There's a 15% off sale on inrprnt, please come pick up any print at all if you'd like.

My patreon is only a dollar a month. Ever since Apple chose to bill iPhone users 30% more, I've devastatingly lost almost 60 patrons.

You can send me a direct tip on ko-fi if you like and have the means. Everything goes to repairing our house, and food, and insulin.

Also have a PayPal here..

Prayers and reblogs appreciated. Thank you so much for looking out for me for almost the whole year now. I'm sorry again. I'm desperately trying to repay the favor with new art and free stories. I will do my best.

I hate that anytime I feel really exited/motivated I also get kind of anxious. Like it doesn't matter that energy is positive, the energy is high and that's all it takes.
