Retribution

[naodrith]

So, I watched the last Hornblower episode. I am numb. I am shocked and dismayed without any hint of a joke about it, thankyouverymuchElizabeth. I think I must have spent the last half hour sobbing. This annoyed my brother to no end.

Nae: What? WHAAAT?! Wellard can't die! I love Wellard!
Robert: SHUT UP HE'S NOT GOING TO DIE!
Nae: HE IS SHOT THROUGH THE CHEST, YOU MORON! OF COURSE HE'S GOING TO DIE! *sobs bitterly*
Robert: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!
Nae: OH GOD WAAAAH ARCHIE IS DYING!
Robert: SHUT UP AND LET ME WATCH!
Nae: CAN'T YOU SEE HE'S DYING?!
Robert: *smack*
Nae: *double-smack* Return to your seat.
Robert: It's a movie! It's fake!
Nae: But I love them!

Watching continues as normal, until the testimony, at which point Nae bursts into tears.

Robert: Shut. Up.
Nae: You don't even care! You don't even care! Archie, wah!
Robert: Shut up!

And then Nae continues crying until the end, at which point she switches off the VCR. The "Fairly Oddparents" is on.

Nae: Oh, my God. That was sad.
Robert: It's fake.
Fairly Oddparents: *something about super-intelligent cockroaches*
Nae: Oh, hey, I remember that episode.
Robert: *laughs* Yeah, that was a good one.
Nae: YOU DON'T EVEN CARE THAT MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS WERE KILLED!
Robert: *cheerfully* Nope.

I refrained from delivering smackdown.

Also, I think I frightened Elysse today, while playing a little game of word association in relation to our various fandoms, e.g., Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter, and LOTR.

Elysse: Square.
Nae: C-Cube.
Elysse: Circle.
Nae: Palantir! Squee!
Elysse: Oval.
Nae: Eye of Sauron!
Elysse: Stick.
Nae: Phallic object.
Elysse: What?!

I am corrupt.
