How To Ruin Your Childhood Cartoons 101

Conspiracy theories playing with our emotions.

How To Ruin Your Childhood Cartoons 101

Hey there! Remember those childhood cartoons we used to love watching on Saturday mornings, not knowing the true meaning behind them? Yes. Those ones, where the innuendos literally flew by. Now, it's all about conspiracy theories. I know, you're already heard of these, but I can't help but wonder if they're true or not. Let's dig deeper into a couple of these conspiracy theories, namely "Ed, Edd n Eddy" and "Courage the Cowardly Dog."

Now, who doesn't love Ed, Edd n Eddy? I mean come on! It was an awesome show. I stumbled upon this one during shenanigans with friends. Apparently, the place that the kids are living in is Purgatory and the background stories behind each character is pretty dark. The episode where they visited Eddy's brother was pulled off the air due to his death caused by severe bullying by no less than Eddy himself.

The next few to die included Rolf, who was trampled to death by his bull and now takes care of his farm animals and duties in the afterlife; Johnny died of tuberculosis and took his buddy Plank with him; Eddy drowned in the river, trying to run away from a group of vengeful children who were mad at falling for his tricks; Ed died from a car accident; Nazz was raped and killed; Edd died due to an explosion he caused from his experiments; Kevin was beaten to death by his abusive father; and Jimmy died from leukemia. The Kanker sisters, however, are the Devil's daughter, sent from Hell to torture the lost souls; consider this: they have the ability to show up pretty much anywhere; and their constant attraction to Ed, could be the fact that he has the weakest will out of everyone.

Pretty dark, huh? It's weird at the same time. I have to question the ages of all the kids: Why are the children older than Jimmy? Is the timeline constant, if they grew up together? I mean, they all died at different times, living separate lives. Also, after visiting Eddy's brother, did they actually go to Hell or ended up peeking into one of the Circles?

"We interrupt this program to bring you...Courage the Cowardly Dog! The show, starring Courage, the Cowardly Dog! Abandoned as a pup, he was found by Muriel, who lives in the middle of nowhere with her husband, Eustace Bagge." Who could ever forget that intro? But then, how is Nowhere an actual place? It's a barren wasteland; nothing grows!

Well, it turns out that Courage is actually Cerberus, or Hound of Hades, who guards the Gates of the Underworld. It's contradictory since Courage is a scared dog with one goal in his life: to do whatever he can to protect his masters from the weekly monsters that appear. So if Courage is supposed to represent Cerberus, what about everyone else? Nowhere is pretty much the Underworld; the house itself is technically the gates. Muriel represents Mankind, which Courage does his best to protect from the shenanigans. There are even a few representations of the Seven Deadly Sins: Le Quak is Greed; Naughty Fred is Murder; Katz is Hate. Eustace, himself, is Hades, who's always trying to get his way.

I honestly would never have thought that my childhood would be ruined this way. As kids, it's just all fun and games until something like this pops up and causes you to reevaluate your life. Seriously, we were messed up children! Whether it's true or not is up to you. I personally, would never have thought these childhood shows to turn out this way. Now, there's just awesome memories on top of conspiracy truths. Life is great!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
