if i speak.
will i get out of here?
will i conquer my fears?
You may think what you want of me. I will draw comfort in the knowledge that you are alive to think it.
But I am not the villain you fear I am.
HELLO whoever at buzzfeed made him read a lesbian-on-gay thirst tweet you are my idol
So apparently, over the summer, Quibi (the shortest-lasting streaming service ever lmao) did a quarantine project called “Home Movie: The Princess Bride” where a bunch of celebrities recreated The Princess Bride in tiny chunks at home.
And like there was no permanent cast, all these celebrities seem to have gotten a scene or part of a scene to do (i’m not sure exactly, I did not ever watch Quibi and thus haven’t seen this yet), and then they just… recreated it as best they could. At home. Under quarantine.
So like, you had Jennifer Garner in a blanket cape playing Princess Buttercup AND the Booing Old Woman with a crowd comprised entirely of stuffed animals:
Or Taika Waititi paying Westley off a badly-drawn Inigo on a piece of cardboard held in front of someone’s face:
And it’s all just delightful.
But my absolute favorite part of this thing that I’ve sadly never seen but assume is probably absolutely hilarious and a treasure and I want to find it some day and watch the whole thing… is that Carey Elwes is in it.
As Prince Fucking Humperdink.
I’m watching with IMDB open so I can figure out Where I Know That Actor From (the answer is “The Office” with surprising frequency so far)
Don’t be, it’s about the only good thing Quibi did.
Somehow I missed that Ted Cruz described the Princess Bride as “perfect” and Cary Elwes responded by organizing a live script reading as a fundraiser for the Wisconsin Democratic Party including EVERY SURVIVING MEMBER OF THE ORIGINAL CAST (except for Fred Savage who supposedly was also down but it conflicted with his brother’s birthday). They raised 4.25 million dollars.
Unmute !
I'm rooting for all women but especially the fucked up and silly ones
watching black sails is like i agree with flint. i think flint is delusional. i live in a society. i am bound to my shame. i am free of my shame. i am writing a twelve-page essay. i hate john silver. i love john silver. i am no better than john silver. i am having a crisis of identity. the concept of “identity” isn’t real. the ending is mercifully hopeful. the ending is deeply tragic. i want to rewatch black sails. i cannot rewatch black sails.

maybe it’s cuz i’m getting older but i’m thoroughly unamused by how every media consumption is being reduced solely to ships and the desire to have people date each other. what’s wrong with friendships. what’s wrong with found family. what’s wrong with roommates. what’s wrong with mentor relationships. why is the end goal of everything to have two+ people be shipped together.
i’ve said this in a discord server i’m in but you cannot expect men being affectionate with each other to be normalised and treated as a good healthy thing that doesn’t indicate anything romantic, if every time two men are remotely affectionate with each other you decide this indicates a ship.
