Princess Bride

Confession

Princess Bride Still: 20th Century Fox, Clive Coote

“As you wish”

Westley is great

Elegant, agile

But also, somewhat terrible at fighting

Rats of Unusual Size

Too feckless for my taste

Fezzyk is who I adore

A different kind of beauty

He is kind

Gentle

What would it be like

To brush my lips against his fingertips

An embarrassing abstraction

Scale the Cliffs of Insanity

With others on your back

Self-sacrifice with a smile

Buttercup is a terrible name

Blonde, lithe, confident

Useless

She cannot be a heroine

She never picks up the sword

Waiting to be rescued is for suckers

(She kind of looks like his sister, to be honest)

I am Inigo

Dark, frizzy hair

Always on a quest

For Fun

About the Creator

Aspen Marie

In love with life and all of its foibles.

    This is delightfully cheeky and poetic! And that twisty, almost wistful ending—“I am Inigo”—adds just the right amount of yearning.
