Movie Night VI: Direct to DVD
Who| Wash and anyone who wants to join
What| Movie night!
Where| The same lounge it's always in
When| After Time Ripples, Mind Slayer, and Wash Dies At The End
Warnings/Notes| Yet another classic!
It's been an odd few weeks, to say the least. Wash barely waits to be out of the hospital before he heads to the lounge to set up a movie night. He's had a request for a classic, and he'd managed to get in an order for the film before everything had gone batshit insane, so it's already arrived and he's just about ready to go.
The usual snacks and drinks are set up, along with a few mugs and goblets that are a little closer to theme. There's also the usual sofas and couches, draped with blankets and with bean bag chairs strewn around around the room. The usual sign hangs outside the door, with the movie's MPAA rating and a brief summary of the movie's plot, along with the usual note: Movie night is neutral territory.
The movie tonight, of course, is The Princess Bride.

"I guess you're not put-off by 'kissing books', huh?"

As the child of a great romance, Kubo still had a solid disconnect between the high and noble story of his mother leaving her cold and heartless heaven for the warmth of her husband's love, and his brief experience of how Mother and Father acted when they were actually in the same vicinity, making dumb faces at each other and giggling at absolutely nothing Kubo could understand. Tales of romance were interesting and engaging and not the same thing as when one's parents were being weird at each other.

"The cultural narrative at the time was that boys weren't supposed to like 'mushy stuff'," he said finally. "Stories about feelings, as opposed to stories that happened to have feelings in them, were coded feminine, which was generally considered 'lesser' than masculine. You've gotten some kind of lecture on the history of sexism, right?"
