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

what ships do you enjoy in op?
Oh a fun one! I've never been a huge shipper until I got into OP but the ones I do enjoy are:
Hanahone (Brook x Robin)
Frobin
Wanihana (Crocodile x Robin but only under the condition that it's treated with respect because it's so toxic and it's not really a ship so much as a compelling character drama)
Hancock x Robin
Robin x Hiyori
Hiyori x Yamato
Namvivi
Rayleigh and Shakky

hello. tumblr staff fixed my shadowban after months and i keep forgetting that orher people can actually perceive my posts and interactions on this website now. i’m a desisted “rad leaning” feminist in my late 20s and i would love to be able to have some mutuals here; many of my offline friends have no critical or feminist analysis of the “queer community” (which we are all “in”) and i find it really very isolating. i have some of my views written out in more detail on my pinned post if anuone feels they need these.
radical and rad leaning feminists, detransitioners, and generally any women who find themselves in a similar position, please interact with this post and i’ll follow you. :-)

My favorite ship dynamic? People who constantly make fun of each other but will rip out the throat of anyone else who says something even remotely mean about the other

What do you mean your favorite pair didn’t try to kill each other at least once? Not even attempted murder? Not even a punch or two for the funsies?
