    “Hey babe, come over, we can watch a scary movie for Halloween.”

    “What movie?”

    “Event Horizon.”

    “Oh, I’ve never seen it, what’s it about?”

      I’ve been waiting for my kids to be old enough to watch this movie. Once they’re all like 16, I’m just gonna hit them with a casual “hey, let’s watch this old sci-fi movie” and give them no other details. Mwahahaha

        I’ve done something similar…
        “What are you watching?”
        “An old animated movie from my childhood. Just started, want to watch?”
        “Sure, what’s it called?”
        “The Secret of NIMH”

        I still can’t get them to watch The Last Unicorn.

    Only reason my GF knows anything about 40k because of me is because I used the Mechanicum not knowing the actual technicals of how anything works to set up a joke about me being a software magos because all I do is write endless canticles of the endl semicolon

      I ensnared my partner by describing the mechanicus as “Evangelical Transhumanists” and then giving her the Flesh and Steel audiobook (which is just a genuinely great piece of scifi all on its own WHEN DO WE GET THE SEQUEL GW PLEASE). Now she’s color-coordinating the paint job on her Trayzen and Orikan minis and drunkenly holding court on how the Drukhari are the ‘only moral faction’.

      help me what have I done

        If she’s defending the morals of the Drukhari I’d start worrying about how much time she spends on certain parts of the internet if I were you.

        Specifically the parts of the internet that involve giving her ideas for very not safe for family television things she plans to do to you.
