#you killed my father prepare to die

[threegoblinart]

Apparently all you need to do to get off the call list for spam callers is pick up the phone and very emphatically insist your name is Inigo Montoya.

Edit: June 2023.... Our spam calls have drastically dropped after starting this. We've also added Optimus Prime and a hard of hearing old lady to the line up.

Also Spam callers will listen to about 35 seconds of Rick Astleys classic "Never Gonna Give You Up" before hanging up. Just in case you need to know.

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

  Inigo Montoya made an appearance on Jeopardy!; and he brought his father’s sword with him. :-)

inigo montoya: fight me first and then i’ll have a really cool flashback scene where i kill the guy who killed my dad and then i also discover you’re a master swordsman which is craaaazy cuz i thought i was the only master swordsman and then i lose but don’t die because i’m pretty and also need to be used for plot later on

inigo: wait maybe this is actually the moment we’re i get the cool fight i kinda forgot??

buttercup: wesley we must ride away together and end the story in a way that’s a little bit confusing but we’ll probably have a happy ending weeeeee go horse goooo

[hamartia-grander]

Wow I love how I've been purposefully avoiding a conversation ab Palestine w my zionist father bc I knew exactly how horribly it would go but then proceeded to have several recurring dreams about me having that conversation with him anyway and it going predictably horrible ending w me crying and waking up feeling sick, but I guess it prepared me for the inevitability of being forced to have the conversation anyways bc he's nosey and it went EXACTLY as horrible as I knew it would!! My dreams were helping me get ready for it <333

[densewentz]

man you guys do you but I personally think longhaul revenge/vengeance plots that are allowed to run their course without a huge uppity moral guilt trip are actually so satisfying. like yes girl give me a character who doesn't hesitate to pull the trigger on the source of their trauma no it does NOT make you just as bad as they are baby sometimes you do what you gotta do

Hello, my name is whumper, you piqued my interest, prepare to cry

Does anyone else just picture Devo as this guy?

[advisortotheadvisor]

I'm not immune to the monster & person trying to keep it contained dynamic that canis and the wolf have, very fun and cool

I'm just saying that a funnier dynamic is the wolf being so sick of canis's shit, especially when he gets self-sacrificial. like hey dumbass he needs this body too, stop trying to kill it!!
