upcoming plot @ gargleblasted

[ineuphony]

Why should I get excited about being stuck in a room watching romance movies with this Karkat guy? Sounds more like torture to me. Why can't I be forced into reading it instead?

-- At least that way, I can manipulate the words and change the story into something different entirely.

Hey, a good romantic movie with the right person can be a pretty good time. But I'm guessing you're not interested in this Karkat guy?

[ineuphony]

I doubt as much. They're pretty unrealistic, if you ask me. And no, not at all. Why would I want to hang around someone that can't say one sentence without shouting profanity all over the place?

[princeofjunes]

Outside of documentaries, not many movies are shooting for 'realism'. Isn't that kind of the point of a movie?

... you've got me on the profanity part though, that doesn't exactly scream 'good time'.

[ineuphony]

Tell me about it. I spoke with the guy once and I had to hang up on him. -- And now, my mun thinks it'll be funny to be locked up in a room with him.

[princeofjunes]

Your mun sounds pretty terrible at this matchmaker thing. It could be worse though - I'm sure you can stick out one day with some bad movies, right?

[ineuphony]

That's just it. This romance movie is a bad movie.

[princeofjunes]

... wait, what?

[didhishomework]

The phrase "stuck in a room watching romance movies with a guy" sticks out like a sore thumb, but I'm guessing it's nothing like that, right?

[ineuphony]

I rather chew my own arm off than watch some love movie.

[didhishomework]

...I understand not liking a genre, but good grief. You're really not that much of a fan?

[ineuphony]

It's boring. And they all end the exact same way. It's way too predictable.

[didhishomework]

Well... no, that's true. You could seriously just look at the cover of the DVD and be able to tell how it ends.

[ineuphony]

Exactly, I prefer mysteries. -- It's a lot more exciting.

[8reaks_8balls]

Karkat is a sap for romance movies.
With the right movie and he might even cry!!!!!!!!

[ineuphony]

You're joking, right?

[8reaks_8balls]

No really.
It's the 8astard's weakness.

[ineuphony]

Oh, goodie.

[8reaks_8balls]

So really he may never live it down or you might at least see he's more sensitive than you think.

[ineuphony]

Sensitive, he says... -- Could've fooled me by the way he acts.

TORTURE?
THE ONLY TORTURE INVOLVED IN THIS WHOLE CLUSTERFUCK OF EVENTS IS THE FACT THAT I HAVE SO SUFFER THROUGH ONE OF YOUR SHITTY EARTH ROMCOMS WHEN THERE ARE ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND ACTUALLY GOOD TROLL ROMANCE MOVIES I COULD BE INDULGING MYSELF IN.
ANY ATTEMPT THAT ANY EARTHLING TRIES TO RECREATE THE DRAMA AND INTENSITY OF THE CAREFULLY CONSTRUCTED ALTERNIAN ROMCOM PALES IN COMPARISON.
IN FACT, IT PALES SO HARD THAT ANY SORT OF COLOUR, RED OR BLACK, HAS FADED ENTIRELY FROM THE ATTEMPT AND LEFT IT A DISGUSTINGLY WHITE PILE OF BARKBEAST SHIT JUST WAITING TO BE PICKED UP AND FLUSHED DOWN THE ABLUTION TRAP.
THIS SHIT IS SO HIGH-MINDED THAT I FULLY EXPECT YOU TO START LEAKING BLOOD FROM ALL CRANIAL ORIFICES AS YOUR THINKPAN STRUGGLES TO PROCESS THE SHEER MAGNITUDE OF BRILLIANCE IT'S FACED WITH.

[ineuphony]

... Troll romance movies?

[cancercarcino]

OF COURSE TROLL ROMANCE MOVIES.
DON'T YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THEM?
OH WAIT, YOU WOULDN'T YOU'RE AN IGNORANT HUMAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW QUALITY IF IT CAME UP AND KICKED YOU IN THE FUCKING FACE.
AS A HARDENED VETERAN OF ROMANTIC STUDIES, I CAN CLAIM THAT NO MATTER HOW HARD THEY TRY NO EARTH MOVIE WILL EVER BE ABLE TO FULLY ENCOMPASS THE COMPLEX NATURE OF ROMANCE IN THE SAME WAY AS A PROPER ALTERNIAN ROMCOM.
BESIDES, I DOUBT YOU EVEN COULD, WHAT WITH YOUR FUCKED UP ONE-QUADRANT ROMANCE BULLSHIT.

[ineuphony]

I don't even have a one-quad-whatever. Romance is a waste of time to me. I can do without it, thank you.

[cancercarcino]

WHAT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ROMANCE IS A WASTE OF TIME?!

[ineuphony]

It's pointless.
