Truth in Thirst

[stars-bean]

In a 2012 interview in New York Magazine, Mandy Patinkin said that his most famous line from The Princess Bride (1987) (“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”) gets quoted back to him by at least two or three strangers every day of his life. Patinkin told the interviewer that he loves hearing the line and he also loves the general fact that he got to be in the movie, stating, “I’m frankly thrilled about it. I can’t believe that I got to be in The Wizard of Oz, you know what I mean?”

 “what do you think you’d be doing right now if we never met?” 

 “are you asleep?” “…no.” 

 “do you think we’d still be a couple in an alternate universe?” “go to bed.” “what if we already got married and have five kids.” “go to bed.” 

 “i can’t sleep…” “me either.” 

 “it’s five a.m.” “we talked all night?” 

 “i’m still worried about tomorrow…” “do you want to talk and try to get your mind off of it?”

 “fine, i get your cereal-soup argument, but there’s nothing you can say to convince me that a hot dog is a damn sandwich.” 

 “you know when i was little, i always thought my toys would come alive when i’m not around like they would in Toy Story. i still think they do.” 

 “babe, i love you, but we both need to get up early.”

 “freeze. i know you’re not wearing socks and trying to go to sleep right now.” 

 “i’m cold, can we cuddle?” 

 “what if aliens think we’re the aliens.” “the hell are you talking about-”

 “do you want to know what [name] told me today?” 

 “so then- oh. you’re asleep.”

Spoilers for Naamah's Kiss (do not read if you hate spoilers):

Moirin's love affair with the dragon in the Ch'in Princess is my favorite thing. Like I love all of the dynamics that Morin goes through with her different lovers, they're all truly multi-dimensional, but the storyline with the Princess is just incredible.

I mean the Ch'in Princess strikes me as the kind of character described as "a girl who hates to sin" (Tori Amos reference), but she is used as a tool of revenge against her father's dynasty when a warlock slips a pearl, which is actually a sleeping dragon, into her drink before her wedding night and when her husband tries to consummate her marriage, the dragon is awoken within her and tears her bridegroom limb from limb. She has devastated her whole family, she is isolated from everyone and is very strong, like could rip the bars of her cage apart if she wanted, but she lives in fear that she is possessed by something horrible, something she doesn't understand, and she is terrified that she will hurt someone else, so she voluntarily stays in her quarters. She is also blindfolded because the dragon, which they falsely believe is a demon, only comes out when looking in a mirror where it is unable to see itself, but no one knows that. Because she is a Princess, all of the servants treat her respectfully, but they keep their distance in case she tries to hurt them too, afraid of her while being unable to defend themselves because if they do, it will be an act of treason. So the Princess is super lonely (or SupaLonely if you listen to BENEE) and doesn't trust herself and especially doesn't trust her sexuality.

Then Moirin comes to Ch'in with her martial arts master and her fellow student/lover Bo. Moirin, with her magical sight/healing/twilight is not only able to see the dragon but also speak to it and by using the twilight, show it's true reflection. The dragon becomes infatuated with Moirin and the love of a dragon is an eternal bond making Moirin equally infatuated with it. The Princess is grateful to Moirin for being able to communicate with the dragon and calm it, but her trauma around her sexual past and the cultural mores that prohibit lesbianism, make her experiences initially very very uncomfortable with the sexual energy Moirin shares with the dragon. But because she is so touch starved, so lonely, and because she knows that meeting the needs of the dragon will make her own life easier, she accepts the contact and companionship Moirin provides. Moirin is the only one, Princess included, who can understand the dragon so the Princess has to rely on her help in a way she has never had to before. The Princess is an accomplished swordswoman, very strong, prepared to be the ruler of an empire, only to have the tragic start to her burgeoning life as a woman be fucking destroyed by a magical foreign girl who is in love with the dragon inside her.

isn’t it weird how toxic masculinity is still a thing when the aragorn/boromir forehead kiss should have obliterated it back in 2001
