First up: Macey might be young, but really, she's just an old soul — and is still figuring herself out!

Macey: I just turned 25, and I already feel like 30 or 35.

Connor: Yeah, I feel the same. Honestly, I feel like I'm 80.

Macey: I feel like I'm not 20, which is crazy, and I don't know why. And I don't know what to do about it.

Connor: You don't want to go clubbing?

Macey: Yeah! I don't want to go out.

Connor: It's too tiring. I'd rather stay in.

Macey: I don't drink and I don't smoke, so it's like, "What do I do?"

Connor: Um, that's the age-old question. That's why the internet is a thing.

Macey: Stay in and watch Netflix. I guess that's true.

Connor: Your best friend when no one else is. What can you do other than that? Hmm, what can you do. There's not much to do other than that.

Macey: Read?

Connor: Go on a hike! Develop a hobby. Get a cat!

Macey: Yeah, I could get a cat. I could walk my cat.

Connor: Honestly, I would join a person on a walk with their cat. Other than that... Write a book! Make a blog. Make a YouTube channel. The internet is always there!

Macey: That's true!

Becca gets Alaska–she wrote me this letter that just made it clear to me that she gets it way deep down, and if you've seen her movie Electrick Children you'll know she has a really cool visual imagination. I am not by nature optimistic, but I think it could be a really great movie.

Which Muggle From "Harry Potter" Are You?

You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide.

16 Ridiculous Fan Theories That'll Actually Make You Think

Muggles don’t exist, and Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper from “Blues Clues” have a dark, dark secret.

Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper from Blues Clues are living a lie.

Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper from Blues Clues are living a lie.

Mrs. Pepper had an affair with Cayenne, which led to the birth of baby Paprika.

As one Reddit commenter pointed out, "Cayenne is Paprika's Grandmother. It's latent genes. Don't you know how genetics work?"

Also, spices don't have genders. But still.

Nickelodeon

Professor McGonagall loves cats. A lot. Like, in that way.

Professor McGonagall loves cats. A lot. Like, in that way.

This theory is reliant on a misprint in the original edition of Prisoner of Azkaban, that changed in future editions - one that involved Crookshanks originally, but then cut him out.

"Other than a boring misprint, the only other possibility is that someone from the future is meddling with time."

The theory concludes that Professor McGonagall has a romantic vendetta against Hermoine's cat, Crookshanks, and that she uses the time-turner to seduce the cat.
We already know McGonagall can transform into a cat, so it's theorised that she would turn into a cat before any form of ~intercourse~.

It's all a bit much, really.

Warner Bros

Bane was on Batman's side the whole damn time.

Bane was on Batman's side the whole damn time.

This theory suggests that the motives of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises are misunderstood. Bane did what he did to encourage Bruce Wayne to give the figure, and idol, of "Batman" to the city of Gotham - taking out the League of Shadows along the way.

This one is actually pretty great, and possible - if you ignore the whole "Bane tries to shoot Batman in the face with a shotgun" thing.

Warner Bros.

Pigeon Man from Hey Arnold committed suicide in front of Arnold.

After Pigeon Man's coops are destroyed by vandals, he turns to the edge of the roof and seemingly "flies away". Of course, this theory surmises that this was just Arnold's imagination helping him cope with the fact he just watched a good friend kill themselves.

Side note: Hey Arnold is a ridiculously great and underrated show and you should check it out.
