The babies aren’t dead, guys.
You've probably heard this already, but there's a super dark theory about the beloved '90s show Rugrats that will destroy your soul.

Chuckie died with his mother, which explains how much of a nervous wreck his father was.
Tommy was a stillborn baby, which explains why his father, Stu, was always in the basement making toys for the son he never had.
The DeVilles had an abortion. To compensate for not knowing the sex of the baby, Angelica invented twins in her head, one boy, one girl — AKA Phil and Lil.
Susie is Angelica’s only friend, and plays along with her hallucinations so she doesn’t take away her only coping mechanism.
Dil was the only baby who could speak because he was the only baby that wasn’t a figment of Angelica’s imagination.
That was horrible, right? You feel horrible now, yes? Same. OK, well, we chatted with Rugrats creator, Arlene Klasky, at San Diego Comic-Con and asked her about it.

And yes, she's definitely heard about it.
