Making my notoriously picky partner watch all the LotR extended editions for the first time. They ate a half a gummy.
Them:"Why don't they just make another ring?"
Me:"There is only ONE ring to rule them all."
Them:"yeah? Just make another that will usurp it 💁"
Also them: "well it didn't seem like the ring was doing shit for Gollum so it's good Bilbo took it"
Also: "I’ve got some complaints. Two major plot holes in the first 5 minutes."
Me:" 🥴🥴🥴"
Did I mention they're autistic 🤣
"They made like 20 rings. Just make another ring that’s better than the Mt Doom one."
Them:"Also why does it make people invisible but Sauron was visible wearing it?"
Me:"a side effect for mortals who can't fully exist in both worlds like Sauron or Elves"
Them:"humph convenient always a loophole"
They're very excited we're two memes in
Them: *very excitedly* "AHHHHH THAT'S AN UNDEROATH SONG!!!!"
Them:"WHAT THE FUCK PALANTIR (palantíri) MENTION?! Now I gotta look up what Palantir means.... FUCK THEY USED LOTR WHAT THE FUCK FUCK THEM"
Obviously this is an anti Palantir household 🤣
Me, about Saruman the White: HE TURNED BAD can you believe it?!
Them: white men always do 💁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you got me there
Gandalf: No Gimli… I would not go through Moria unless I had no other choice…
Them:"I'm sure that's NOT foreshadowing 🙄"
Gandalf trying to open the mines of Moria
Them:"what if it's literally just friend"
Me:"HAVE YOU SEEN THAT PART BEFORE?!"
Them:"no it's just literal. It's easy it's my favorite thing to do besides complain"
Autism win of the day 😂
Gandalf: "If in doubt, Meriadoc, always follow your nose."
Them:"THEY STOLE THAT FROM FRUIT LOOPS"
Them:"pfft dies in the first season of Game of Thrones, dies in the first season of this"
-Watching the forest fight where Boromir gets run through
Them to the group chat:"First movie was good. Did see a GameBoy Color in one of the scenes so I had to knock a few points off for that."
Bb girl in chat:"pics or it didn't happen"
Them"
Them in chat:"Just finished the Twin Towers. Was also pretty good but I did see Saruman using a Sony Discman and so I had to knock a few points off for that."
Also them:HOW DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING
They've coerced me into watching the third movie starting at 1am instead of watching it tomorrow. RIP sleep schedule but at least I've got Za'atar english muffins on their second proof so I can make first breakfast with some fresh made bread 🤤
