I don’t fuck w nerds, the moment I can smell lore correction coming I’m like “Oh Neptune” and I gotta call my mom and ask her to pick me up

If I’m like “I really liked the scene where Gandalf learns the truth about the Ring in the first movie” and someone’s like “Oh you mean when he was in Minas Tirith, originally known as Minas Anor when it was first built in the Third Age?” I am pulling the nearest fire alarm

Them: Pelargir prospered further under the reign of the the Ship-kings, and Tarannon Falastur, 12th king of Gondor, built a home there, though Berúthiel, his wife, didn’t care for it

Me, sweating: D. Did you know that. That Viggo Mortensen really broke his toe. In that one scene

hey quick question, probably not important - how did you know all that stuff to put in the hypotheticals

[Throws smoke bomb down on the floor] [When the smoke clears I am still in the room with you but lying facedown, possibly dead but more likely unconscious. There is a visible dent in the nearest door.]

    [Cueball and Megan facing each other in the same panel.]
    Megan: We need to talk.

    [Cueball turns to look behind him; panel pans back to show a (closed) window on the wall.]

    [Cueball throws a smoke grenade to the floor.]
    POW

    [Grenade fizzles and begins to emit smoke; Cueball and Megan both look down at it.]
    sssss

    [Smoke cloud expands very slightly. Megan puts her hand to her face.]
    cough

    [The smoke detector alarm above them starts beeping. Both look up.]
    BEEP BEE-

    [Cueball and Megan look down at the grenade again. The alarm is still beeping.]
    -P BEEP BEEP BEEP BE-

    [Cueball slowly backs away. The alarm is still beeping.]
    -EP BEEP BEEP BEEP B-

    [Cueball unsuccessfully tries to open the apparently locked window. The alarm is still beeping.]
    Rattle rattle
    -BEEP BEEP-

    [Panel pans back to the full view. Cueball looks back at Megan, who is now face-palming. The alarm is still beeping.]
    -BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP B-

    [Megan turns and walks away. Cueball looks at the window. The alarm is still beeping.]
    -EEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-ALT

‘The sad thing is that I just wanted to talk about your poor smoke-bomb techniques.’
