The 'Man giving sword to larger man' meme, formally known as 'Master's Blessing,' originated from a fantasy illustration by artist Denis Zhbankov, also known as Morkard, which was uploaded to DeviantArt in 2018. The image depicts a small knight kneeling while offering a sword to a massive, armored figure seated on a throne. It gained immense popularity as an object-labeling meme, typically used to represent a smaller person or entity providing a crucial tool, service, or idea to a much more powerful one. Whether used for corporate satire or gaming jokes, it remains a staple for illustrating power dynamics online.
