Introduction to the "Childhood Conspiratorist" - Rugrats

Well hello to my dear (hopefully present) readers. This is obviously a new blog, and I'm here to explain the reasons for its appearance on the internet.

Lately, I've been researching things that most probably wouldn't. They're conspiracies based around the children shows we all know and love, such as Rugrats, Pokemon, and Disney. This blog is here to explore these conspiracies, but also show you whether I believe in them or not.

I'll start my first post with non other than a Rugrats conspiracy.

Most people believe the popular Nickelodeon show just to be about a group of four babies far beyond their age going on adventures in the safety of Tommy's home or backyard, but after surfing the web, I found a theory.

The entire theory has to do with Angelica, the girl every watcher knows as the bossy girl a few years older than all of the Rugrats. She loves to scare Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil by giving them crazy ideas such as turning into chicken after getting the chicken pox or growing a watermelon in your stomach after you accidentally eat a seed. The only problem was that things normally turned on her when the four babies learned that it wasn't true.

The theory goes that each of the four babies were a figment of Angelica's imagination to deal with her parents lack of attention. Each baby died in some way. Chuckie, the terrified red-head, actually died in a car crash with his mother, which led to Chuckie's father, Chaz, being continually anxious. Tommy, the fearless leader, was actually born a stillborn which led to Stu, Tommy's father, to spend time in their basement building toys for the son who never lived to play with them. Betty DeVille had an abortion, and since she never knew the sex of the baby, Angelica decided to imagine twins, which brought up the not-so-bright twins Phil and Lil.

In her imagination, Angelica could boss these babies around as she pleased and they would all listen. The only baby who would never listen was Dil, Tommy's brother who is born later on in the series. Because Dil was alive, he wouldn't listen to Angelica and she hated that. She beat poor Dil due to her anger, causing the young baby to have brain damage and never be the same again.

I grew up watching Rugrats, so I know the show pretty well. This conspiracy could hold through. And I know a lot of 90's kids reading this will think "Right in the childhood!" but look at the facts. People will argue that Dil didn't listen due to him being a newborn, but normally young toddlers wouldn't listen either, so what should be the difference with Dil? How come he couldn't partake in the adventures Tommy and his crew went on? Why was Chaz so anxious? Many would say that it's just a part of his personality, but anxiety is known to affect people suffering through depression due to a terrible tragedy such as losing your wife and only child. And why did Stu build toys instead of going out and buying the ones made by professionals? We all know Stu had a passion for toy building (and if I can remember correctly, it was his job), but what if it was due to the tragic loss of a child?

And lastly, the girl the conspiracy is based around: Angelica. This girl is mean, and for years, I believed it was only due to her parents being busy with work and too busy for her. But she had the love of Stu and Didi, her aunt and uncle. Sometimes being ignored by your parents is hard to take, especially at that age, and maybe formulating four babies based on death was the only coping mechanism.

The facts add up, though I hate to make it true to the 90's kids. I'm with you guys; I don't want to believe it, but again, it's only a theory, and those are known to be wrong.

I already have a list of conspiracies having to do with Pokemon, Rugrats, and Disney, but if there's a specific conspiracy you'd like to see, tell me. I'll probably look it up and do it.

Hope you have a wonderful day, and have fun.
