Now, someone draw these cats in tuxedoes, ponchos, and awesome hats.
Guys, this is LITERALLY Manco and Douglas Mortimer!!!! Trust!!!!!
The Man With No Name after fumbling the hottest old man to exist
Pay Gorn y'all.
hey cowboy can I give you my most trusted possession as a gunfighter, my gun/gunbelt, which has saved my life multiple times and I've kept on me for years and I don't feel safe to sleep without. im giving this to you to fight your very personal battle against the man who assaulted your sister, which I reasoned out by getting close enough to you to slip your watch out of your pocket, presumably while you were asleep. please now, accept your watch back from my hand by standing within kissing distance and tenderly brushing your hand along mine as you take it back, and then answering an extremely personal question that you haven't spoken to anyone about in years. then, you'll unbuckle my gunbelt from your waist and hand it back to me while I stare lovingly into your eyes
This is true guys
Cowboy flirting 101:
1. Admire your target from a distance
2. Establish eye contact
3. Take the first step
4. Confirm your interest
5. Smile, damnit!
6. Shoot his hat
7. Reciprocate
8. …with flourish.
9. Drinks
10. Now you can get your hands on his long, big, hard gun
I'm dead 😭😭😭😭
So, about the ship Mantimer/Mancomer. I've been thinking about who would be the dominant one in the relationship, and honestly, it's Douglas Mortimer, and it's not even close. It's the way he's able to make and hold eye contact with all his enemies aka the baddest mfs who have ever lived, but he still does it like, "I'm a badder bitch than you." (and he is.) Also because of his super gentlemanly behavior.
Wish in the movie, we could see Mortimer make Tmwnn fold, but homophobia ruins everything.
Examples of him holding eye contact with his enemies cuz some of y'all are in heat sometimes.
I'VE BEEN SAYING THISSS (iykyk)
THEY'RE LITERALLY CANON
Douglas and Manco when no one was looking which I think was always somehow

You guys are NOT gonna guess who I'm going as for Halloween 🗣🔥💯
They are very feline coded
I'm not joking. It was the way he BREATHED in that particular part reminded me of a cat so much idk why.
No cuz why was bro leaning in for a kiss
I have been saying this. Like no wonder this shit was rated R
This is basically a sex scene.
I've always loved animal symbolism, so here's some with the Dollars Trilogy characters + a Fistful of Dollars! 😱
(I will explain each one. 🙏🏽)
The Man With No Name as a coyote because coyotes are a symbol of cunning, intelligence, and adaptability. The coyote embodies the dual nature of life and represents both positive and negative qualities. It is also depicted as a trickster figure.
I think this fits TMWNN, especially being an anti-hero with his ways of being able to get what he wants by "playing both sides" throughout the trilogy. (With the Rojos and Baxters, Douglas Mortimer and El Indio's gang, and himself, Angel Eyes at one point, and Tuco.) Which gives him the cunningness.
He is described as intelligent a lot in the trilogy, and it's very clear with how carefully he plans and, again, how to get what he wants.
Adaptability because we see him in all sorts of settings: cities, deserts, villages, etc. and none of those have seemed to bother him one bit.
A Fistful of Dollars:
The Rojos as red wolves mostly because they travel in packs and are aggressive towards other canids, which we'll get to next.
(Edit: I just remembered Rojo also means red lmfao I swear that wasn't on purpose)
The Baxters as Coywolves because they travel in small family packs and compete with other canids such as wolves (the Rojos).
Both families are portrayed as powerful rivals like red wolves and even coywolves (likely because both animals live in the East United States).
Marisol, Julio, and Jesús (I couldn't fit Julio) as cattle because cows are quiet animals that symbolize humility and simplicity.
Which I thought was kinda fitting because with the lives they had to live, it gives them their humility.
Simplicity because the family follows TMWNN's orders with fairly little resistance.
For a Few Dollars More:
Col. Douglas Mortimer as a silver fox because silver foxes represent nobility, maturity, confidence, and charm.
I think the nobility for him comes from his long journey of avenging his sister and as a character that seems to have good personal and general morals.
The maturity because of his age, experience, and behavior.
Confidence is very easy to see lol he is very sure of his abilities, especially when he first meets Juan Wild in El Paso. (Man's got balls of steel, Jesus Christ)
This may be subjective, but the charm isn't that hard to see in him lmao
El Indio and his gang are Mexican wolves. Not just because they're a gang and wolves travel in packs, but also because those packs can be really big, like El Indio's gang. Plus, Mexican wolves tend to be highly social, which could be a stretch as a connection to El Indio and his gang, but they seem to accept new recruits to their gang pretty easily lol
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly:
Angel Eyes as a Gray fox. I promise I'm not being uncreative lmao. Gray foxes, given their competition in the wild, most likely tend to be more aggressive and dominant. Gray foxes also represent cleverness and adaptability.
In Tgtbtu, Angel Eyes can definitely be a very aggressive character, and the powerful part of the meaning of dominance is also very apparent in his character.
I find Angel Eyes's history of being able to track people down and identify them as a sign of intelligence.
Like, TMWNN, Angel Eyes can also be found in different settings and adjusts to them pretty quickly, especially given his job as a hitman.
(Sorry, it felt like I was grasping at straws on this one, but I couldn't find a lot on gray foxes, I just thought it was fairly fitting.)
Tuco Ramirez as a badger because they both are known for digging lol, but on a serious note, badgers are extremely aggressive towards other animals and have grumpy attitudes, which I find very fitting for Tuco lol.
I just wanted to include him lol. The Union Captain is a jaguar because jaguars can get intoxicated anddd yeahhh lol.
I love old westerns because they can be so easily perceived as homoerotic even though "they're not supposed to be."
Anyway, I got bored and made queer headcanons of main characters from the Dollars Trilogy (except AFOD because I didn't want to lol)
The Man With No Name
So damn gay; I can not see him liking women at all. I mean, the way acts with Douglas Mortimer as Manco and Tuco as Blondie??? The closet is made out of glass.
Tuco Ramirez
Queer and homophobic at the same time. It just makes sense to me. 🤷 Think about it as an "only I'M allowed to be gay" sorta thing.
Angel Eyes
Aroace but also gay yk? Just lives, does his job, looks cool as hell doing it, and doesn't gaf about romance and allat, but MAY have had some sort of history with men in some way.
Moving on to FAFDM (TMWNN is still gay dw /lh)
Douglas Mortimer
So gay bro. Wdym after you got punched by a guy, then make that same guy your partner, and drink together, and then, have only been partners with the guy for only a couple of days, and then be "so worried" about him despite him being a grown ass man who can do better than just handle himself. Plus, both of you got beat tf up together and saw each other at your highest and lowest. Zest fest.
El Indio
It just makes sense, trust.
I love them so bad, y'all have no idea.
About 'A Few Dollars More' (again): wtf did Manco mean by 'what about our partnership?'.
So look, here's what Manco says at the beginning of his and Mortimer's partnership: "when I get my hands on Indio and that ten thousand dollars, I'm going to buy myself a little place, possibly retire".
That's all well and good, and at the end, he gets not only Indio, but the whole gang, so DEFINITELY enough money to retire but he... doesn't want... their partnership to end?
I feel so fucking stupid omg 💀 I found this picture of Paul newman ages ago and thought that "wow, what a lethal facecard" and I've only just actually realised that its Paul newman who's literally one of my hyperfixations
