    Anyone who has seen The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement knows that Chris Pine is the best Chris.

    Buena Vista Pictures

    Yes, I DO know he's been in other things, but Princess Diaries 2 Chris Pine is the Chris Pine I want to wake up to in the morning.

    I don't make the rules. I simply report the facts.

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    Sorry, Hemsworth and Evans. I love you too.

    But I digress. The reason I have brought you all here today is to talk about a certain picture of Chris Pine posted by Twitter user @Rachael_Conrad that has been making the rounds on the interwebs. A picture so hot, so steamy, so utterly NC-17 that it should not be shown without a warning.

    E!

    Just listen to the original poster:

    @Dr_Ophelian I really should’ve given this a NSFW warning.

    I don't even know where to look first.

    I know, it's a lot. Allow me to bring your attention to the most important parts:

    NBC

    1. THE MASK!!

    a closeup of Chris's face

    Covering his mouth and his nose!!!

    2. THE GIANT BAG OF BOOKS!!

    a closeup of the brown paper bag of books that says "Skylight Books Los Angeles" on it
    The Image Direct

    Please, PLEASE Chris. TELL US WHAT BOOKS WERE IN THE BAG. THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW!!!!

    3. FROM AN INDIE BOOKSTORE!!!

    even more of a closeup of the bag

    We stan a king who supports independent bookstores. (BTW, Skylight Books is amazing. They currently have awesome Pride Month and Unlearning Racism reading lists on their website.)

    4. This strange squint and hand motion!!!!

    another closeup of Chris's face, he's making a strange hand gesture of taking a picture
    The Image Direct

    I think he is maybe letting the paparazzi know he can see them or perhaps pretending to take a photo of them?? Unclear, but we LOVE how he's able to communicate through hand gestures so he can maintain social distancing!!!

    5. The drink he artfully balances behind the bag!!

    a closeup of a straw sticking out behind the bag
    The Image Direct

    I must know what he was drinking.

    6. The dumpster in the background!!

    the same photo, there is a dumpster behind him

    God, I wish I was that dumpster.

    In conclusion...

    Your move, Chris Evans.

    Nerd Girl Says @Rachael_Conrad

    @ChrisEvans you have 24 hours to respond with a picture of the stack of books that you’ve been reading during quarantine. Bonus points if they were purchased from an indie store!

    I would also like to extend the challenge to any and all other Chrises. Also, wear a mask and support indie bookstores!!!
