Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

Anonymous asked: hi! can you do allura/shiro or matt/shiro for the ship grading? (I hope you're well!)

All right, listen, I am excited to be excited about Matt as a character but thus far he has such negligible onscreen time as to be pretty much a wholecloth creation of the fandom.  Thus: Shiro/Allura, my loves.

Ship Grade: A+ (OTP) | A (I love it) | B (It’s really cute) | C (Not a bad ship) | D (I’m neutral on it) | E (I don’t really like it) | F (NOTP) | N/A (Don’t know it well enough)

I love Shiro as a character because I’m an ENORMOUS SUCKER for PTSD-ridden ex-prisoners who are holding it together by the skin of their teeth and on the merits of a core of solid titanium determination.  I love Allura as a character because I’m a huge fan of royalty whose nations are half-destroyed (or all destroyed) and who are still fighting the good fight because they believe that nobility is an obligation, not a privilege.  I’m enormously in love with them as a couple because they’re mutually the adults in the room most of the time and, A, I love relationships where the people in question can relax around each other more than anyone else, and, B, they’re just so ruthlessly competent and I live and breathe competence porn and I am NOT turning down such a perfectly dovetailed pair of personalities who can ALSO be a solid 10/10 in capability.

Also, that shot of Shiro catching her hand and pulling it down in whichever episode of Season 2 was a more compelling argument for the ship than anything else I’ve seen for any other arrangement.  So like.  Here I am.  Let the alien princess and her right hand man smooch.

…I just realized that between this and Elfangor/Loren I have A Type and it’s half-alien battle couples who bond over learning how to be EVEN MORE COMPETENT with each other.

Y'ALL I FORGOT HOW ATTRACTIVE CHRIS PINE IS OMG

I just want to say that the decision to have a nude bathing scene that’s 100% a Vulnerable And Confused Love Interest Scene ft Steve Trevor was a good one.

THE PRINCESS BRIDE

ONLY QUEER

#the dread pirate roberts leaves no survivors  #a farmgirl poor and perfect with eyes like the sea after a storm  #we are women of action such lies do not become us  #i want my mother back you son of a bitch 

“My way is not very ladylike!” Fezzik exclaimed to herself, her hands resting on hips wider than some carthorses and her baritone voice rumbling with surprised displeasure.

If I ever get to do a theater production of anything ever, this is what I’m doing.

Prince Humperdinck can stay male and *maybe* Count Reuben but everyone else? A lady.

Wesley? A lady. Buttercup? Definitely.

Inigo, Fezzik, Vizzini, Miracle Max, the goddamn Albino - I don’t care.

Inigo is a gorgeous trans lady who unknowingly leaves a trail of admirers in her wake because she’s too focused on her revenge to notice.

Fezzik really is originally from Greenland (and is Kalalliit, specifically)

(who’s okay with the idea of Gwendoline Christie as Wesley?)

Otherwise the story is exactly the same, down to individual lines of dialogue.

#my name is ingo montoya#you killed my mother#prepare to die#‘it seems the man in black is actually a woman in black. that mask covers quite a lot’#‘who CARES just kill her with your sword!’#‘i’ll use small words so you’ll understand you warthog-faced buffoon’#‘that may be the first time in my life a woman has DARED insult me.’#‘and it won’t be the last.’#fezzik: ‘i’’m on the brute squad’ soldier: ‘you ARE the brute squad’#‘i swear on the soul of my mother dominica montoya - you will reach the top alive’#of course#this would make the constant censoring of the kissing scenes about 50x more frustrating#oh#and the kid and the grandpa? female now#you can’t stop me#The Princess Bride @the-tao-of-fandom
