Thinking about the fact that in sophomore year chemistry I wore a lotr shirt to school one day after winter break and apparently my chemistry teacher was a total lotr nerd and was feeling generous cause this was our exact conversation
"Hey! You like lotr?"
"Yeah :)) we actually watch the movies every year on new years"
"Ohh cool! Who's your favorite character"
"Pippin, he's actually a very underrated character and most people don't realize it"
"That's true, yeah. Have you read the books?"
"No, I don't own them and can never find them at the library"
"Do you want the books?"
"What?"
"I have so many copies of the books I can give you the whole set if you want"
"Sure, I mean yeah if that's okay!"
"Ofc, give me a day or two"
And then literally the next day he comes to my desk and dramatically slams the whole lotr trilogy AND the hobbit on my desk right after class starts and just goes "I threw in an extra for you"
I loved that teacher so much he was actually the best, the whole class was staring at us like we were insane tho lmaooo
