Xenia Onatopp and the art of subtlety
#a level to which i aspire tbh #goldeneye #xenia onatopp #famke janssen #i don’t think anyone had as much fun in a bond film as she did until toby stephens showed up #GO BIG OR GO HOME #the confidence of this performance is astounding - especially in a new bond debut film where support was far from guaranteed #(also just a propos of characterisation as written:) #(re: aggression: in contrast to the lois lane set i just rb’d this is an example of female aggression but as Performed for the male gaze) #(difference: aggressive to get shit done narratively - or aggressive to give you a boner) #(personally I welcome both on my blog but it’s important to note: there’s a big difference) #gif #my gifs
The male gaze thing vis a vis Bond girls and Xenia in particular is an issue soooooooo close to my heart. Like, as a character she gets a lot of power from her Performance Of Sexualised Power which is just incredible when you put her in the Goldeneye Triad Of Women: M with the Power Of Rationality (is she just a stand-in for a man? that’s a whole other conversation), Natalya with the Power Of Empathy And Intelligence, and Xenia with the Power Of Ambition And Eroticism. Bond girls are/were so often completely disempowered that all of the women in this film are astonishing. But then on the other hand, as a cultural product, she is a terrifying oral-fixated exoticised sadomasochist who literally kills men with her thighs and gets sexual pleasure mowing down computer programmers with a machine gun, what a *truly horrifying* depiction of the monstrous feminine, omfg. So, the empowerment/disempowerment issue is huge here, the agency/object issue, the whole problem of women’s acts of empowerment being determined by patriarchal systems of what Womanhood should be, what Power should be, etc. etc. etc. the point is, let me talk about Goldeneye forever.
(Oh wait, once upon a time I gave a lecture about the male gaze and I made it all about James Bond movies so I guess I got my chance.)
(Dr No, first appearance of Honey Ryder, “Are you looking for shells, too?” “No’ I’m just looking.”, camera’s gaze following the eyeline of the male focal character and showing her as a body and not a person, objectifying, that one brilliant online article about yoga photography that actually lays out a clear schema for identifying objectifying images, Xenia as the monstrous feminine, like the only way you could make her more of a man-eater would be to give her literal vagina teeth, oh my darling Xenia, scourge of men, player of baccarat, driver of stick, blessed be thy name.)
Has James Bond actually had any women whose names were terrible sex puns since Xenia Onatopp in "Goldeneye", or is this just a thing that they don't do anymore?
“Fame comes at a price, and it wasn’t one that I was willing to pay,” the “X-Men” alum said.
I seriously love everything about this woman. ❤️

Commission for the lovely @skullforaskull who asked me to draw Xenia and Bond! Thank you so much for commissioning me ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I thought this was cute at first, and then I saw the caption and was like “Oooohh, she’s trying to kill him…”
Happy birthday to queen Famke Janssen !!
Just something great about how her eyes narrow ever so slightly when repeating her name; Like she’s daring him to make something of it.
This time, Mr. Bond, the pleasure will be all mine.
Xenia Onatopp, GOLDENEYE 30th Anniversary
describe what Xenia does to her victims in detail 🥵🥵🥵
She wraps her legs around their midsection and squeezes with all her strength, depriving them of oxygen and breaks ribs in the process which deals damage interally to the victim. They are in a sense slowly asphyxiated to death and have no strength/ energy to fight Xenia off and end up succumbing to her orgasmic embrace
The sheer satisfaction she probably felt. As she sees him begin to succumb…..
This is beyond sad and frustrating. One of our champions gone again! Farewell friend, but not goodbye, you're already missed.
Damn, I guess they got reported? This is seriously disappointing. Hopefully they come back eventually and don’t feel too dispirited by this nonsense.
