The Marsh-Mellow Man makes no sense

I know, but I HATE writing 'mallow' for some reason, for me, it's always 'mellow'. Sounds more.. mellow, you know.

Ray contradicts himself; first he says he couldn't help it, that it JUST POPPED in there. Then he suddenly says he _TRIED_.

He _TRIED_ to think. (He couldn't help it, it JUST POPPED?)

He _TRIED_ to think of the 'most harmless thing'.

Now, WHICH IS IT?! These two statements are 100% contradictory, they can't be true simultaneously!

Ray makes no sense, so neither does the form he chose for the summoned demon.

Humans in intense stressful situations aren't always rational. Simple as that.

Like, imagine trying so hard to sound smart and nitpick, that you refuse to spell a word like "marshmallow" just because of "reasons"

Please don't feed these kind of posters. They're looking for any attention they can get.
