You ever think about what the denouement of Ratatouille looked like to the kitchen staff who quit

You just quit the most prestigious job you've ever had because the guy in charge is a fucking lunatic who has a goddamn rat riding INSIDE his HAT, WHILE AT WORK, and claims this fucking RAT is the actual prodigy chef

and he did this on the worst POSSIBLE night to be pulling that shit and you just, you were not willing to be there for that shitshow

and then the restaurant is shut down for health code violations, and you're not the least bit fucking surprised

but also, Anton Ego published an absolutely glowing review of his dinner there?? on that night?? talking about how he rethought his whole ideological opposition to the restaurant's founder??

and you've heard gossip that he stayed there from the time he ate all the way until close so that he could meet the chef??

the average person, if they think about this at all, is probably just like "oh they got some whiz kid in the kitchen who was bad at sanitation, sucks to suck"

but you know.

you know about that fucking rat.

oh my god

and you are HAUNTED by this knowledge.

what the fuck. was Linguini actually telling the fucking truth?

That fucking Linguini

Like, what do you even do with this knowledge

is linguini actually the human, or is he the rat

is the rat controlling him like the cordyceps controls the ant

oh god keep him away from tall buildings

if he wants to go to the Eiffel Tower, you must stop him at all costs
