Au where everyone in the membrane family firmly believes in the paranormal, but no one agrees on which specific cryptids are real.

And then Zim shows up, but no one agrees on just what Zim is or what to do.

Dib thinks that Zim is a alien invader that needs to be stopped at all costs because “weird alien technology and green skin”

Professor Membrane thinks Zim is some sort of robot, cyborg or government weapon because he’s SEEN the amount of advanced weapons in his backpack, plus he once saw Zim lift a car with little effort. The green skin is some government made material.

Gaz takes one look at Zim and assumes “vampire”, with extremely sharp teeth, hatred of sunlight and superhuman strength and agility. Zim’s “advanced technology” is just magic that looks like technology (like a spelldrive) and the green skin is a genuine skin condition that vampires can have.

All of them want Zim taken down, but none of them are willing to work together because of all of them disagreeing on what Zim actually is and just HOW he should be taken down.

But the thing is,

we as the viewer never see Zim.

We see parts of him, like his PAK and the weapons inside, or hints of his green skin or his true eyes glowing in the dark, with the rest of him hidden from view. He hear him a couple times as well. But we never see enough for us to come to the conclusion of what Zim is by ourselves.

The Membranes don’t completely prove anything either, as Zim always escapes before any of them can figure out what he is and what he wants.

We are also never shown Zim’s perspective or what his true motives are. We are only shown the perspectives of each Membrane, who all have different opinions on what they’re going up against with their own proof for their own case. So Zim’s actions and behaviours throughout the show just confuse us more as we, the viewers are left questioning which of the Membranes are right, or if they’re all wrong and Zim is something completely different.

The things learned about Zim can point in any direction as well. Water hurts him, but only like 50% of the time. Is it because he’s an alien with some inconsistent way of protecting himself against water, a robot that’s waterproofed in some areas but not others, a vampire that’s only hurt by holy water or is it because of some completely different reason? No one will ever know.

let’s not talk about this, ever

I don't think we thank logitech enough for making products that just work

reflection

every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt

suddenly stuck by the thought of Charlie, in the early days of chaggie, getting lonely and insecure whenever Vaggie took time away from them to clean and check over her stupid angel spear, to the point that at least ONCE Charlie full on seduced Vaggie away from weapon maintenance and back to bed JUST to prove she could

like, with vaggie in canon getting jealous over something dumb-

(Charlie, one of the friendliest people ever, holding hands with Emily, the other friendliest person ever)

it'd be so funny, charlie getting equally jealous over something just as silly- and having a running feud with vaggie's 100% non sentient spear, not only for taking up vaggie's attention but ALSO for being (in charlie's very private opinion) an unhealthy and self destructive influence on vaggie's life (it's mainly the first reason though) (vaggie likes keeping the spear near or under their bed and sometimes reaches out to grab it in her sleep and THOSE are the days charlie starts off with a scowl) (she was lying Right There next to vaggie) (and she is much softer and warmer and more cuddly than any stupid spear)

Obsessed with these two women who saw a Pokémon battle going on and did not give one single fuck

i fukcing hate this show

So, the Silence was able to turn Melody Pond into a time lady due to the fact that she was conceived in the TARDIS, and then they raised her to be an assassin. But also, the TARDIS she was conceived in was partially possessed by a giant omnicidal space dog.

This probably isn't true, but it would be really funny if some of Sutehk got into her, and her assassin training was actually teaching her to be LESS trigger-happy. Like, her first word were "I SHALL BRING DESTRUCTION AND DEATH TO ALL LIVING THINGS" and the Silence had to be like "no, sweetie, just the Doctor."
