Grown-up Rusty my beloved

I know it's been a hot minute since I've posted, but I want to change that (hopefully). Anyway, I love these two kelpies and would go feral if anything happened to them

I've been fighting with my brain all day to stop thinking about Rusty and focus on school.

I lost.

Bluey Article: The Guardian

Story on the “Cricket” episode.

Me, even though I’m unfamiliar with cricket, I liked it -- I felt it was a good little deep dive into cricket; I could see how some kids might find it boring but having watched so many “Bluey” episodes, I was like “I trust you as a show, go ahead “Bluey”, tell me about cricket”

did anyone else just get so many feelings over the new episodes?!!?

(kin stuff below, i know the majority of my followers aren't kin related lol but it's still a kin blog nonetheless)

rusty kins come get your JUICE!!

jacks house was exactly how i remembered it tbh but i didn't remember i had siblings until then... then they kinda added onto the already existing mems and it's like ohh that's what was missing.

i knew something wasn't quite right yknow? like in the back of my mind i knew siblings were there but i didn't remember them at all x")

i wonder if there's any digger or dusty kins out there yet.... i am here come say hi!

"Cricket" was released today because The Ashes begin later this week, and no one can convince me otherwise

Alright I just want to preface this with if I sound snarky, I promise that's not my intention. I just want to have a civil discussion. I'm not trying to be a devil's advocate, I just want to put in my two cents from the perspective of someone who's previous father (divorced) was drafted into the US military. I never have & never will support the troops or war.

First off, I want to note that this episode originally aired in June of last year, during the ICC World Test Championship final, on ABC Kids in Australia. The global distribution was horribly timed I agree, but it's worth noting when it first came out.

Second, as per this addition from OP:

I'm sorry but I disagree with the first half. While again I don't support the troops, children don't have a lot to go off. A parent being sent off to battle is different from a business trip in many ways. It's traumatic in many cases. Knowing their parent not only has to go away for a year or more, but often for the first time in the child's life, they have to grapple with the possibility of their beloved parent dying.

While I myself was at the end of my teens when it happened to us, I saw how it effected my siblings. The way they almost grieve in advance, worrying. And often the parent in the military can barely keep in touch. And that's not even touching the possibility of the front lines. All that being said, I hated what they do overseas. Still do. But there was nothing I or anyone in the family could do. This episode of Bluey serves as a blanket to those kids that have to process why their parent is going off to fight and probably die.

Real issues aside, they don't show that part in the show. Just that Rusty's dad is in the military. This fact is also hinted around in other episodes. Rusty plays army frequently, and his father even makes an appearance in season two! These cartoon dogs going to war isn't new. I recognize none of us are immune to propaganda, but it's also worth remembering that it's not the show's fault this came out at this time, but the distributors. It's fine to be uncomfortable with depictions of war, but know that was not the intention.

literally insane to me how you can shove military propaganda in a show for actual preschoolers and that's considered fine but god forbid you find it weird or sad or else someone will pen a whole article discrediting the horrors millions are going through because having dog soldiers in the cartoon for 3 year olds is more important
