so i rewatched the princess bride last weekend and i got an issue with it i never had before: vizzini’s a dumbass. we’re told he’s really smart– he tells us he’s really smart– but he doesn’t make one single smart decision in the entire movie. he doesn’t even make one sensible decision.
-he left some kind of token of a guilder officer on the horse, then let it loose to ‘go home’. horses on the loose don’t always make it back home. frequently they get lost, stolen, or die, because horses are both valuable and ridiculous. they should have killed the horse and left it on the path with some kind of manifesto attached, like ‘consider this official notice from guilder that we’re stealing your princess, fuck you’.
-he made absolutely absurd staffing decisions for a job that involved kidnapping an innocent women and then killing her to start a war. inigo’s a great duelist but his entire life is spent on a goddamn honor quest to avenge his unjustly murdered dad, and fezzik is huge and obedient but his background is being a show wrestler: neither of them are actually down with premediated murder. why the hell didn’t vizzini know this beforehand?
-when the man in black was climbing up the cliff face, they could have taken the rope, tied a large rock to the end, then just lowed the rope to be about level with the climbing man and bonked him with it until he fell off.
-leaving inigo and fezzik behind one by one was also overconfident and completely stupid considering, again, vizzini picked the wrong guys for the goddamn job. they should at least have ambushed the dude together while vizzini laid a false trail to somewhere dangerous (like the nearby fire swamp?) and then hid with buttercup somewhere else. a guy might be able to beat an honorable duelist or a giant wrestler, but if he can beat both at once, a ten or fifteen minute head start in a straight line towards guilder isn’t going to help anything.
-when the man in black catches up with vizzini, he’s holding buttercup at knifepoint. so like, what the fuck was his plan then? was he really going to walk backwards all the way to guilder with his knife on an angry, uncooperative girl’s throat and a man who can beat a duelist and a wrestler following along as closely as possible?
-the minute vizzini realized the man in black had defeated both his guys and was still intent on recovering the princess and was furthermore gaining on him, he should have stabbed the girl somewhere slowly and inconveniently fatal, like the thigh or stomach, then run like hell. the man in black would thus be diverted from going after vizzini, even if he’d wanted revenge, by having to stop and see if he could save the princess. which he could not have: stomach stabs can take a while to die from, but you do pretty much always die from them. so with buttercup dead in mysterious circumstances, even with the man in black somehow involved, guilder could still be blamed.
-anyway, prince humperdink, next time you wanna start a war with guilder, please DM me, im not going to fuck it up like this jackass
-hey come to think of it why the fuck didn’t humperdink just hire a guy to dress up in a guilder outfit and assasinate the king? he’d get his war and inherit early. humperdink DM me i wanna talk
hi yeah i found out recently that the popular caramelldansen (you know. the one you know.) is actually a fucking nightcore remix and this is the original
forbidden knowledge
Caramelldansen is the ultimate relic of the past because it wasn’t just a meme song it was a Nightcore remix meme song that got even more popular than the original.
Even darker secret knowledge the original dance also isn’t that version either. Most can see the original dance in the background of a scene in Fast&Furious: Tokyo Drift.
It’s not Nightcore, it predates Nightcore. The term you are looking for is Speedycake. After the late* DJ Speedycake.
The dance used in the vast number of 2d anime-esque caramelldansen vids has nothing to do with Caramell; it came from a gif on 4chan referred to as “Popotan dance” that started as fanart of an adult visual novel because of course it did. Speedycake was making his remixes at the same time as people were making popotan dance gifs of everything, and the memes converged into a compound supermeme that swept the internet.
The video above is yet another fan-made video, using 12 characters from the iDOLM@STER series. (Hint: the band that created the song is Swedish, so anything obviously Japanese did not come from them).
The first official video released by Caramell was this version, six years after the song was first released and two years after it started to spread as a meme:
fucking terrifying how deep this rabbit hole goes
DJ SPEEDYCAKE IS FUCKING DEAD?!
According to his Twitter he’s just as surprised to learn he’s dead as we are
Also an update on his thoughts about CMD coming back
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
