watched part of d/hurandhar 2 last night and omfg so boring but I did love the scene of s/anjay dutt having to stop throwing grenades because he essentially had to go answer his outlook emails and then had a vibe like that one Miyazaki smoking meme and I WISH I could find gifsets of that moment but NOOOOOOO
