OPEN STARTER: teddy altman
“They’re re-releasing the entire Lord of The Rings trilogy in IMAX 3-D---while I’m in space?! That’s just not fair.” Teddy half-realizes as King he could probably get somebody to hook up, like, a giant alien IMAX screen that could probably also be rigged to play Lord of The Rings, (and probably The Hobbit series as well, even though Billy and Teddy have agreed to never speak of them again past the occasional guilty pleasure fanfic rec). But it’s not the same as an 24hour marathon in the theater with Billy & the friends they manage to force to join them. Even when they pretend to complain the whole time. Actually, ESPECIALLY when they pretend to complain the whole time, because then it’s all the more satisfying when they start to love the movie, and B&T get to experience the tears almost for the first time again through their best friend’s eyes---
Plus, in general, it’s just like. Really awkward and stressful asking people for things, especially petty human Earth nerd things. He’s pretty sure everybody in space already hates him, like, a lot.
