i have so many thoughts about how their relationship changed throughout the years… headcanon: mirabel took her first steps by following isabela’s flowers :”) click for better quality btw!!
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
This post just replaced like three weeks of therapy for me
I worked with toddlers and pre schoolers for three years. Sometimes I accidentally slip and tell a friend to say bye to an inanimate object (“say bye bus!”) & occasionally they unthinkingly just do it.
And I think this is potentially one of the greatest strengths of the show.
reigen’s “just run away” in the finale of mp100 s1 is a reflection of his perspective as someone who views everyone to be the same; he’s treating this massive battle the same as an argument with a child. mob shouldn’t fight the 7th division because these are not people he should be taking notes from; they’re immature and blinded by their own self importance. ritsu and teru, obviously, being espers as well, are viewing the situation much more literally: mob has to fight back or they’ll die. to them, and to most people, this situation is extremely unique and not comparable to what reigen is familiar with. but to reigen, who follows essentially the same values regardless of the scenario, immediately sees these people not as powerful espers but as huge losers, so he’s encouraging mob to approach the situation from that perspective. it’s a uniquely broad and nonspecific view of the world, but it’s extremely characteristic of reigen and how heavily he leans on his ability to read people.
Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problems. You stay kind, committed to love, and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you dare doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you do.
I aspire to write a scene this heartfelt, this rewarding. Ahhh. Mob is the absolute only person who has ever said something along these lines to Reigen Arataka. Not even his mom would say something like this about him. After this, you can FEEL how much more out of his way Reigen goes for Mob. How much more space and respect he gives him. How much more like a friend he tries to treat him.
