X Files really had it all while still giving me nothing

• Only one bed
• Stuck in the rain
• Lost in the woods
• Among Us style mystery killer paranoia
• Fake marriage
• Kidnapped (every conceivable way possible)
• Crying over your hospital bed
• Camping
• Stranded on an island
• Stranded in Antarctica
• Using my clothes to cover/warm you up
• Terminal illness
• Quarantined together
• “I’m keeping your [sentimental item] safe until I get you back”
• *can’t go 2 hours without calling you*
• Pizza & movie nights
• Attending work functions together
• I went back in time and you were there
• We have to strip to check each other for ominous skin abnormalities
• Wrote you love letters
• New Year’s kiss
• Spent my holiday on a case with you
• Cleaning each other’s wounds
• *wipes your face when you got food on it*
• Road trip
• Undercover together
• Stake outs
• Instinctually reaches out for you
• I can recognize you even if I can’t see your face
• Even brainwashed, I refuse to hurt you
• Literal soulmates
• Secret relationship
• They even gave us goddamned surprise pregnancy

The X-Files was trope bingo in show form, it really was.

Pusheen the cat making some chemistry.

That cat is not wearing safety goggles, he hasn’t even bothered to clean up that spilled solvent, and he is holding that Erlenmeyer flask way too close to his face.

Pusheen the Cat, more like Pusheen the limits of lab safety

I’m watching Pingu right now and wow how did I forget that Pingu once tried to recreate the Tower of Babel.

Would love to hear the Vatican’s opinions on this.

they are animals, and thus free of sin. In fact, doctrinally, animals give glory to God merely by existing so. Pingu’s fine

But by creating a tower tall enough to reach God’s kingdom, would they achieve sin?

“At one famous trial in Autun, France, in 1522, some rats were charged with feloniously eating and wantonly destroying the province’s barley crop and so were ordered to appear in court. “ if rats can commit crimes, penguins can sin

That’s French courts though. France is a perversion of every law, moral, or truth known to man or heaven.

#i like how this presents the rat trial as like. a major historical event and not a curiosity
