I present to you: āProdigal Son Crossover Handshake Memes That Probably Reveal An Embarrassing Amount About My Taste In Fiction More Than Anything Iām Trying To Say With Themā (yes Iām aware these can be nitpicked) (Also please talk to me about any of these shows if you want!)
Team: Determined To Discover The Truthā¢
[Image description: Five hands holding each other. The center text reads: āSomething terrible happened to a girl I know and Iām going to find out if it kills me.ā The hands are labeled Fox Mulder, Dr. Temperance āBonesā Brennan, Eve Blanchard, Malcolm Bright, and Jay Merrick. End description.]
Team: Every FOX Protagonist Is The Same
[Image Description: Three hands are holding each other. The center text reads: āSomeone went missing when I was young, my father was involved, I was profoundly traumatized by it, my lifeās work in an investigative field is an attempt to figure out what happened and atone for it, I seek answers and justice for others I may never find myself, and Iām involved with the FBI.ā The hands are labelled Dr. TemperanceĀ āBonesā Brennan, Fox Mulder, and Malcolm Bright. End description.]
Team: Dug Too Deep
[Image description: Three hands holding one another. The center text reads: āSomething happened to a girl I knew and Iām gonna find out if it kills me! ...Oh wait, it just did.ā The hands are labelled Jay Merrick, Eve Blanchard, and Fox Mulder. End description.] (Yes I know Mulder never stayed dead but itās the thought that counts!)
Team: Recording As A Response To Stress/Socially Bizarre Use of Cameras (Privacy Who? Iāve Got Important Things to Document!)
[Image description: A handshake. The center text reads: āWhat the fuck why are you filming this??ā and the hands are labeled Jay Merrick and Ainsley Whitly. End description.]
Team: Raise Your Hand If Youāve Ever Been Personally Victimized By A Companion Wielding A Camera
[Image description: A handshake. The center text reads: You broadcasted my mental health difficulties to a bunch of strangers?!ā The hands are labelled Tim Wright and Malcolm Bright. End description.]
Team: That Looks Like It Hurt
[Image description: A handshake. Center text reads: āStomach woundsā and the hands are labeled Jay Merrick and Gil Arroyo. End description.]
Team: I Did Not Sign Up For This
[Image Description: A handshake. Center text reads: āI have a gun and Iām not going to use it!ā and the hands are labeled Jessica Locke and Jessica Whitly. End description.]
Team: It Had To Be Done and I Had To Be The One To Do It
[Image description: A handshake between two people, with some red smudges drawn on, mimicking blood. The center text reads: āStabbing the man whoās been pulling the strings to death, partly out of revenge for a fallen friend, partly because it was what must be done, and having the knife dramatically fall from their hand afterwards.ā The hands are labeled Tim Wright and Ainsley Whitly. End description.] (This oneās probably the shakiest of them all. Were Eve and Ainsley friends/friendly? Did Ainsley feel a sense of duty to kill Endicott? Tim did really want to be doing what he was doing, either...But the part about the knife is accurate, at least.)
Team: Highly Specific Bad Luck With Men
[Image description: A handshake. The center text reads: āWhy do my relationships keep ending like this?ā with an emoticon frowning face at the end. The hands are labelled Jessica Whitly and Joyce Byers. End description.]
and finally,
Team: We Canāt Let The People Know That They See!!
[Image description: A handshake. The center text reads: āThe real mystery of the show is what happened to the lighting budget.ā The hands are labeled Prodigal Son and X-Files, respectively. End description.]
