So @wanderingandfound and I were looking at the monstrosities that are race hats and found this glorious example
and we were thinking it looks like a chess peice, specifically the knight chess piece and that just led to John in this hat Obviously the only reason for him to be wearing this is for an artsy photo shoot can you imagine him in anything other than this and boxers
the best thing about this is that if they went for the full Set Amira simply wouldn’t agree to it if they wanted something skimpy so she would definitly be wearing full regalia and a crown and Corbin’s whole image probably led to him being fully dressed lurking in a castle which would annoy Amira so much because thats not the history of that piece and poor John’s just there going I’m pretty sure me being pretty naked is more scandalous than misinterpreting a chess piece
Johnny has always been the Team Eye Candy. This was a tough balance to strike, because they also wanted him to be the Classically Masc one, too. As much as he would have preferred pajama and baby animal-themed photo shoots, he got a muddied mix of This is Sexy, Right? It was very much in the same vein as that mythology based shoot that Brendan Fraser did after George of the Jungle, where most of his modestly was provided by the artful gold leafing of his crotchal region.
Does this contribute to Ernest’s body shyness? Maaaaaaaybe. He does not relish the knowledge that someday, he too will suffer the gilding of his genitals.
