Image descriptions for my gifs

I make gifsets on my main, ober-affen-geil, and these are the image descriptions for them. Right now they are mostly for the CW show Roswell, New Mexico, so the descriptions are given with the assumption of familiarity with the show. I am not a professional, just trying to make my content more accessible.
