everyone is so focused on the incest I feel like there isn’t enough attention paid to how he’s been missing “real coffee” during his time in…west africa

extraterrestrial assimilating to our Christmas rituals: The baby we like. We have awaited the baby. But the green fellow? He is disgusting to us and morally reprehensible.
