"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?"

Head canon first warp travel with no gellar field

What was that story, there's a creepypasta about the moon or deep oceans or something that was basically "We explored somewhere new, only two crew came back, they refused to say anything besides "don't go back." They were found dead the next day by their own hands"

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know if it was intentional or not but I do know SOMEONE involved with the script has a favorite Space Marine chapter.

Alfa-legion?

Ok so I had to Google half that sentence, so here I am a day later.

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

[–] marine_mustang@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

"I have a movie you're going to love. It's called Return to Oz."

“Mr. Simpson, this is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the film 'The Neverending Story'.”

The Imperium has less political intrigues and sabotage than my wife's work place.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The Imperium in EvE Online might have her workplace beat.

[–] zedgeist@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

It truly is impressive how much drama a game about spreadsheets can have.

[–] CookieOfFortune@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I’m pretty sure that IS a workplace.

[–] RabbitMix@lemmy.blahaj.zone 59 points 2 years ago

I thought I was safe because none of the boys I dated even knew what 40k was, then I dated a girl and SHE taught me about 40k. You're NEVER safe.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago (16 children)

Kissing girls doesn’t spare you

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Was going to inquire. Thanks for answering that, Cap.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Glad to help lol

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

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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~~

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (5 children)

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.

Okay I am using that analogy, thank you

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I've never kissed a boy but at this point I might need someone to get me started on Warhammer, it's scary how big it's gotten & how I don't have any time for even much simpler things.

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

sigh

I'm gonna have to take the bullet and tell my girlfriend I'm gonna go kiss a boy because I really want to know more about 40k

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

If anything is understandable, that is.
No subsequent questions should be raised.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I remember when they were doing Lord of the rings Warhammer. That was like 20 years ago. I bought a set, it's still on my shelf unpainted

I give it two weeks before you're randomly musing about your desire to die along side Sanguinius in defence of the Eternity Gate.

I recommend starting by reading the Eisenhorn trilogy, or anything by Dan Abnett, really. That's how I got started - I figured I should learn a bit about the WH40k universe, googled what is the best book, recognised Abnett as the co-author of the modern Guardian of the Galaxy comics (which I absolutely loved) and never regretted it.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Henry Cavill in shreds rn...

Nah. Not really.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I think she might be misunderstanding the problem. The problem is if he asks if she knows about it and asks if she'd like to talk out hear about it. And TBH if you're not (both) able to half-listen to the other ramble, and not cool with the other doing that, you've got some skills to master before you're ready to commit to a long term relationship. Because I guarantee you, there will always be stuff each of you likes that the other does not. Listening without going crazy is a skill. Just make sure you listen enough to know if they're ranting like a maniac, or you might wake up one day married to a Trump supporter or something.

If I am ever heald captive I am going to recite 40k lore, I will either spread the infection and make a friend or I wilk get my ass beat and they have to find out how much more annoying I am while concussed.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Terrifying. Nightmare inducing.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

She says that like it's a bad thing...

[–] frezik@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What if he doesn't try to teach you about 40k?

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

I'm not 100% on the lore but, it may be a sign that they are a heretic.

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I want to tell her I'm a boy who knows nothing about Warhammer 40k, but I'm afraid that a boy will hear and try to teach me about Warhammer 40k
