Re reading A Study in Scarlet and thinking about thin haggard nosy John Watson and young manic showoff Sherlock Holmes

Also got very emotional about the idea that Holmes has bad hair because he doesn’t see why he should care and dislikes barbers (being touched by a stranger!) so Watson cuts it to look more distinguished so Lestrade will take him more seriously

I love how, during the dance sequence, rhonda was so adamant that she would Not join them, but then she rolled her eyes and jumped in. like those are her Boys, they're best friends your honor. she's like their big sister who complains about their shenanigans but then joins the shenanigans with a smile because she loves them dearly and they're the only people that can make her feel like she's having fun.

charley and yuri... rhonda and quinn... my hopes and dreams for nicole and claire... whatever homoerotic bickering is happening between xavier and simon... it really just cements my hc that wally is the token straight who stumbled into a gsa meeting one day and just kept coming back because he liked the vibes.

Is anyone else curious about Wally and Mr. Martins face combining in the opening credits? They are the only ones that do.

You know, one of the things I didn’t fully appreciate about The Princess Bride until I started really thinking about it is that Fezzik is definitely the brains of the two but Inigo knows what kind of story he’s in.

Inigo: I have searched for twenty years for the man with six fingers Fezzik: Yeah I went over to the neighboring kingdom, asked for a guy with six fingers, I know his name and where he lives now.

Inigo: We’re gonna go find the Man in Black Fezzik: We… don’t actually know where he is. Inigo: Don’t bother me with trifles, I need to complete my revenge by tonight!

*scream rings out* Inigo: That is the scream of the Man in Black, it’s because his true love is Buttercup and tonight she marries someone else. Fezzik: I have no idea how you got all that from “AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!” but hey, it’s not like we have any other leads.

Fezzik: Yeah, he’s dead. So are we moving on to Plan B or… Inigo: Nope we’re gonna resurrect him. Fezzik: Okay, fine, it’s not like he can get any deader.

Inigo: *twenty year long revenge plan is nearly foiled by a door and then runs into a gut wound that he overcomes by sheer protagonist power* Fezzik: ….You know what? I’m gonna plan our escape route.

I’m just gonna assume that once they got past the border and Westley and Buttercup are doing the big ending kiss, Fezzik is just offscreen wrapping up Inigo’s gut wound that he was too high on adrenaline to notice.

Have we adopted Inigo Montoya as the patron saint of artists who don’t use AI yet?

Not a big fan of people who don’t want to pay artists for their work.

Big fan of practicing and honing one’s craft.

Always keeping an eye out for the six-fingered man.

You want to know why Inigo Montoya remains such an iconic and beloved character even 35 years after the Princess Bride came out?

It's because he's one of the few characters in fiction who has a story where he has dedicated his life to revenge, his whole motivation is about getting revenge....and he gets it! and then he isn't empty or despairing! he doesn't regret it! he's totally satisfied!

because so many stories about revenge or rage are about characters "seeing the futility of their actions" or learning "their desire for revenge has only made them the monsters they hated" FUCK THAT.

Inigo Montoya kills the man who kills his father, is allowed to live in the narrative after and be happy about it and it is so satisfying. it's fantastic. it's iconic.

let more characters rage against the world, bring it down with bloodied hands, and let them be FUCKING RIGHT about it. Let them celebrate their success with sharp grins, and let them live happy, full lives where they always remain proud/fulfilled for what they've done
