#murder me#the princess bride#I used to think they were only good because of their chemistry and faces#(bc they actually say so little)#but the script deserves so much credit too#because even though they barely speak they say ENOUGH#and then Cary and Robin fill the spaces in between with such TRUTH#I’m obsessed with the balance in writing romance between saying too much and not enough#both pitfalls and commonly made mistakes#the princess bride strikes that balance perfectly#this exchange alone says so so so much#through their words and their expressions#the moment starts out so Playfully Hard#she’s still in her bossing him around/tossing her head at him mode#but then he stands up and looks at her Like That#and she’s suddenly caught off guard by his humanity on a deeper level#so she softens and adds the please#almost as an apology- or at least an expression of gratitude#like she knows she’s just been kind of unfair (even if just in a fun way)#and then he Looks At Her Like That Again#and says what he always says#As you wish#and he’s so deliberate with it#and it’s like- it’s like#[screams into the void]#it’s like he’s saying ‘I don’t care what you ask me to do or how you ask me to do it’#‘I will always love you and I will always do what you ask me to do’#he’s almost (almost) laughing at her a little#but more than that he’s being pointed#to let her know he loves her and look at her face in the last gif. it takes!
Me after this post:
I am WILD about how they chose to frame the romance in this movie because, like.
The book doesn’t let them be this sincere. Buttercup is stupid. Wesley doesn’t even seem to like her a lot of the time. There’s this spiteful little bit at the end about how Buttercup will lose her looks in ten years and they’ll immediately fall apart. It’s satire.
But to make the movie, to make it work in this medium, they–and this included Goldman, he was reportedly very involved in the process–went no, no. No one is going to enjoy that. Film is a different animal. The metanarrative is experienced on different terms.
So the movie version of Princess Bride, while still well supplied with genre jokes, wound up with better developed characters and relationships, in a lot of ways–the exact opposite of what you usually get in a movie adaptation–and a fucking classic, and I am never over it.
this is so awkward because Pestilence seems to have come back out of retirement this year so now there is FIVE Horsemen and only FOUR Horses
The fifth horse has been LOOSE IN A HOSPITAL for the last 4 years.
Soon to fixed.
The entire history of the world, religion, politics, and pop culture came together to make this joke possible.
for sale. destiel bottles. never popped
Idk if I’m following the right people but the internet is deadass silent about Kipo and has been even though it ended.
I’ll still toot this horn of mine but everyone screams about rep and diversity and the noise people make about this show is like hearing a pin drop in an empty room compared to she-ra and BOTH shows are good and I don’t get it.
Reminder that kipo exists and all of their main characters are Black and one of them is gay and has a boyfriend who is Latino
Hi all, correcting myself. Today Rad and Kipo writer Taylor Orci confirmed his full name is Troy Sandoval and that he is half Latinx (mexican)/Half Filipino
Anyways if you’ve been sleeping on this show, now’s a great time to support an animated series full of POC leads.
For anyone curious, the plot of the show is that, in a post apocalyptic Earth where the surface is ruled by large, mutant animals (referred to as “mutes” presumably just a shortened version of ‘mutant’), humans have been forced underground into ‘burrows’.
Kipo Oak is a girl from a burrow, forced out and separated from her home and family, when it’s attacked by a giant mute and now journeying to find her father and Burrow.
This is the main cast:
(From left to right we have Benson, Kipo and Wolf in the back rrow with Mandu and Dave in the front row)
‘But Icy!’ you cry ‘Why is Kipo PINK??’
Why indeed? :3 You’ll just have to watch to find out b/c yes there IS a reason for it and NO I will not spill the deets cause spoilers ;)
ALSO, it is a musical! sort of. It has a lot of songs and they’re really fun
And it spans 3 seasons!
PLEASE watch this show it’s amazing and we have a chance at getting a movie if enough people watch it!!!
Honestly, Kipo is very clearly right up there with She-ra, Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and Gravity Falls, and absolutely deserves the same huge fanbase.
Reading The Princess Bride was a delightful experience for many reasons, but my absolute favorite part was the introductions of Inigo and Fezzik. Because, in the book, the kidnappers are not introduced as: Inigo, Fezzik, and Vizzini. They are instead called: the Spaniard, the Turk, and the Sicilian.
You don’t learn the Spaniard’s name, to my memory, until the Sicilian leaves him at the top of the cliffs to fight the man in black. While the Spaniard, whose name is Inigo, is waiting, the novel suddenly pauses to tell you the entire backstory of this Spaniard named Inigo Montoya.
You learn about a swordmaker named Yeste and another swordmaker named Domingo, who were good friends. Yeste lived in the city and was a fine enough swordmaker, but every once and a while he would get a job he couldn’t do, and so he’d ride out and enlist the help of the more temperamental and talented Domingo, Inigo’s father. And you learn about the six-fingered man who came one day for a sword beyond all others, and how this ended in the six-fingered man killing Domingo, and how the orphaned Inigo disappeared on Yeste and went to travel the world to learn sword-fighting. And you learn about how Yeste accidentally became a very famous swordmaker, and how he kept on raising prices and increasing the wait time in the hopes of getting all these kings and princes to go away, because he was getting old and fat and too rich. And then Inigo comes back and they reunite. And then you learn about how, despite becoming a great swordsman, Inigo falls into despair and starts drinking simply because he can’t find the six-fingered man he’s sworn to kill. And how the Sicilian came along and hired him.
And then suddenly, the novel goes back to the cliff, and the Spaniard is supposed to duel the man in black. Only, the Spaniard is now known to be Inigo Montoya, with a tragic backstory and a very important quest! And you’re kinda like, “Oh, man, is Inigo going to die now?!”
And then, just a little later, the giant Turk is left behind by the Sicilian, to fight the man in black where Inigo failed to stop him. The reader is now told that the giant’s name is Fezzik. And, while the giant Turk named Fezzik has to wait around for the man in black to show up, the novel pauses again to tell you the entire backstory of this Turk named Fezzik.
You learn about Fezzik being born large and strong, and how this made his life very difficult, because people would make assumptions. And you learn about how Fezzik’s parents tried to help him stand up for himself a bit more. In the book, it’s Fezzik’s mother who declares, “Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is selling something.” And you learn a lot about Fezzik’s pro-wrestling/fighting career and various tragedies, and so on and so forth, everything that led Fezzik to this one moment.
So, by the end of this, you’re back in the countryside and you know all about Fezzik, who’s had a rather difficult life. And you’re a lot more invested in the outcome of the fight between Fezzik and the man in black.
I think the movies absolutely made the right choice in removing these extended backstories, because they would have taken up too much time and they’re really not necessary in such elaborate detail. The point of these backstories, as I see them, is to get you to be invested in Inigo and Fezzik, who are both so much more than the Spaniard and the Turk, for when they come back later. The movie accomplishes this very efficiently through the charisma of the actors and through the dialogue during these two fight scenes, which actually simultaneously helps improve Inigo and Fezzik’s respective relationships to this man in black, and makes it easier to believe Inigo and Fezzik and the man in black would trust each other later in the movie. In the movie, you’re given just enough of Inigo’s backstory to set up his conflict with Count Rugen, and the actors’ performances sell the history there just fine!
But still, reading those backstories and getting swept away in Inigo and Fezzik’s pasts, only to dumped back just in time for a life-or-death fight was delightful. It’s definitely not a style that can be pulled off in every novel.
The book also really emphasizes that a good part of the reason the man in black wins his fights against Inigo and Fezzik is because the latter two are out of practice. Had they been at the top of their game, Wesley would’ve been out of luck. The movie does its best to sneak a little of this explanation in, with Fezzik explaining to Wesley that he’s been busy fighting gangs rather than individual opponents and thus has forgotten the different techniques he needs to use, but the book goes into far more detail.
The movie is a stunning adaptation, no less because the author of the book also wrote the screenplay, but the book is definitely worth a look on its own.
Whoa!👀 Ngk! ❤
AU where Sokka’s high-on-cactus-juice encounter with the giant mushroom takes a dark turn. (Also he has a gun)
based on this beautiful tumblr post
bonus:
In 1998 we first got to see the ds9 episode “far beyond the stars”, in which Sisko experiences violence and racism through the life of a black sci fi writer in the 1950s. 22 years later it is absolutely unacceptable that the story could have been set in 2020 and he would still have faced racism, hatred and injustice. We don’t deserve to look back at it as a “lesson from the past” because he would still have had to fear for and fight for his basic human rights - that is the reality of being black in 2020. Racism and police violence isn’t a story of the past, this is the reality we are living in right now, this is the reason why its important to fight and speak up. (This is also obviously about more than just star trek, I just wanted to make my stance clear and show my support in a way that was authentic to the content I post here. I want to make it clear that if you like my art and disagree with black lives matter, then my art is not for you.)
People there is a Quark’s bar in my town who wants to join me for a synthale and a round of dabo
The Deep Dish Nine AU is becoming reality.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
so I am watching the finale and all I can think about is this look
A) amazing
B) I’m so upset that this garment is something someone actually wore in a reasonable context in this day and age and yet both current Star Trek series are dressing the characters in basically current-to-2020 t-shirts, button-downs and sweaters.
Michael gave Tahani the first bowtie he wore from the first episode when she became an architect.
Bonus:
Love the little touches in the series finale of The Good Place.
One of my favorites?
Jason’s shirt, as he’s leaving the afterlife, has a wave on it.
Nice link to Chidi’s speech about the Buddhist concept of death and a nice callback to Jason’s first appearance in the guise of a monk, but also a nice gesture to him finding that monk-like peace waiting the 1000 extra bearimys for Janet to return. He’s come full circle.
To celebrate all waves that return to the ocean.
Inspired by a fave line from a lovely show. Thank you, The Good Place, for a smart, sincere, and kind story.
