do you have any academic papers or work in mind if I wanted to read further on medieval displays of masculine emotion?

*vibrates* I absolutely do. Since it sounds as though you're interested in this at any time and in any place during the Middle Ages, the below will be an assortment.

Will Cerbone, “Real Men of the Viking Age,” in: Whose Middle Ages? Teachable Moments for an Ill-Used Past, 243-55 (2019) [Designed for a student audience, deliberately contrasts Viking ideals with those of, e.g., MCU Thor]

Jo Ann McNamara, “The Herrenfrage: The Restructuring of the Gender System, 1050 to 1150," in: Medieval Masculinities, ed. Clare A. Lees (1994) [This is a classic for a reason, and I think does a really interesting/useful job of talking about how class and vocation mattered to the expression/understanding of masculinity]

James A. Schultz, Courtly Love, the Love of Courtliness, and the History of Sexuality (2006) [I hope I'm remembering the emotional history content of this one correctly]

Jim Casey, "Feeling It Like a Man: Masculine Grief in Medieval and Early Modern Texts," in: Grief, Gender, and Identity in the Middle Ages (2021) [Starts off with Butler and Bourdieu, to give you a feel for it]

Also, while I haven't personally read it, I'm just so glad that Robin Morris has written an essay called "Sad Men in Beowulf."

Also also, a couple of good books about medieval emotion more generally, not focused on masculinity specifically:

Barbara Rosenwein, Emotional Communities in the Early Middle Ages (2006)

Paul R. Hyams, Rancor and Reconciliation in Medieval England (2003)

Finally finished this, one of the many comic wips I started the last few months (you can kinda see where I got lazy and changed up some stylization in a few panels lmao)

Anyway, a scene I have planned out for The Rehabilitation of Death.

Some extra doodles below:

"edit images with AI-- search with AI-- control your life with AI--"

a dance with death

He was the light. I once got very close and got burned. I think he was burning too. I'd forgotten there's no light without a fire. They never expect an angel to be broken.
