#Tracy Beaker

[bamboozledcorvid]

Worst feeling is being a radical, over the top, chronically online fan in a normal fandom cause where do I find my people who think these obviously straight, cis, neurotypical characters are actually gay, trans, autistic characters.

Ok so me and my sister were watching Tracy Beaker (the very first episode) and pne of the characters called Ben - who also played the Quidditch Commentator Lee Jordan

In Tracy Beaker, at one point, Ben has to leave to go to a private boarding school - and I said to my sister that it was probably the same time that he played Lee Jordan so had to leave Tracy Beaker to do that. And my sister said imagine if the Hogwarts Letter that he would've received on his 11th birthday was actually a letter from Peter written in brown pen (if you haven't watched Tracy Beaker then basically they're in a carehome and Peter and Tracy share the same birthday, and he writes a birthday card to Tracy pretending to be her Mum to cheer her up, only it was written in a brown felt tip so it wasn't hard to guess that it was fake)

Sorry for the side rant hahah

As of We Are the Beaker Girls, Tracy Beaker is working in an antique shop. Imagine if she came across Hetty Feather's journals. Imagine Tracy discovering this scrappy, temperamental, determined Victorian girl who grew up in an institution, loved writing, chafed against authority, longed for family. I think she'd make a connection with her and become very interested in the life she made for herself.

My favourite authors

1. Jacqueline wilson- wrote books such as Tracy beaker, Hetty feather, Katy, and wave me goodbye.

2. Katie kirby- wrote the Lottie brooks series (I love them so much for no reason)

3. Robin stevens- wrote the murder most unladylike series

4. Sharna jackson- wrote the high rise mystery books

5. Gabrielle zevin- wrote tommorow, and tommorow, and tommorow (long name), memories of a teenage amnesiac, and elsewhere

6. J. K. Rowling- I don't like the fact she's transphobic but I like harry potter so she makes my list

7. Paola battala!- I don't even care that Jackson's diary isn't a book it's a masterpiece 🤌

I know most of them are children's authors but I'm still legally a child sooo 🤷‍♀️

My Tracy Beaker returns/dumping ground headcanons

(For @chrissamaxwell)

Warning some of these are a bit sad :(

- Johnny considered Tee and Cameron to be his best friends (they just thought of him as brother and Tee’s brother).

- Cameron had a small crush on Johnny when they first met.

- Johnny has autism and ocd.

- Liam thought of the other kids as family and stayed in contact with everyone who left.

- Ryan, Floss, Mo, Joseph, Charlie and Gus all had autism.

- Ryan had a small crush on Tee before she was mean to him.

- Elektra was a lesbian.

- Sasha, Ryan and Alex were all bisexual.

- Kazima grew up to be a care worker/foster mother.

- Gus was accepted into a super fancy music school and later given the opportunity to be a famous pianist and turned it down cause he didn’t like people watching him.

- Liam was dyslexic and never told anyone because he preferred people to think he was trouble and didn’t try than to think he couldn’t.

- Gina and Mike were a lot of the kids emergency contacts even after they left care.

- Mike was Tracy’s emergency contact for years even once she was an adult.

- Candi-rose and Chloe go on monthly girl days to assure they stay in touch.

- Ryan bought a small dog to try and help him get over his fear, it didn’t work so he gifted it to Chloe who jokingly named it ‘Ghost’ to annoy him.

- Tee made a group chat and added all the older tdg kids, it isn’t used very often but they update eachother when one of them gets a new job, gets married, has kids, etc.

[ID: Tumblr post from @partywithponies reading: “New terrible tumblr poll tournament idea: The Jacqueline Wilson Character Trauma Olympics. You have to pick which of two a Jacqueline Wilson characters has had the worst/most traumatic childhood and is going to be the most psychologically damaged by this in adulthood.” /End ID]

Hello, this is the terrible tumblr poll tournament, trying to figure out the definitive (as voted by tumblr) worst/most traumatic Jacqueline Wilson character childhood/adolescence.

All characters from children’s/adolescent’s books or short stories (including things like “Leonie’s Pet Cat” from Paws and Whiskers) by Jacqueline Wilson will be included, however there will be a form, both for seeding, for bringing up characters I might’ve missed, and for submitting your propaganda!

Other polls: @john-bracket @tournamentdirectory

(I don’t know many other polls, so, hi john bracket)

Mum re-found the kids DVDs zip-up pouch book thingy. I love so many of the DVDs in there! So many are safe and familiar and nostalgic in a good way.

There is ones like Bagpuss, Mr Benn, Camberwick Green, Flash Gordon, Cult Kids Classics, The Muppets, Tracy Beaker, and lots of other films I watched as a child!

The pouch they are all in has "pages" with slots on both sides for DVDs. And they flip like a book. There is actually too many DVDs in there, so some are just sitting loose between the "pages", a few have separate plastic sleeves over them which sit between "pages". And some of the DVDs in there are blank with just the title written on 😆.

I am going to love rewatching many of these! A few more that I can think of which is not in here is Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Fifi & the Flowertots. I watched those DVDs over and over and over again as a kid! Especially Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the 1971 film, not the 2005 one called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) when I was a bit older.

I don't think we ever had a DVD of it, but along with Fifi & the Flowertots, I also loved The Tweenies when I was young. And Sooty & Co/The Sooty Show/Sooty and Sweep. And In The Night Garden 🥰. And Noddy!

I would love to get DVDs of those if I don't have them already (oh, and Tots TV too!). I am pretty sure we do have Chorlton and the Wheelies somewhere. And we might have Rainbow (but not sure of that).

I still love all the TV programmes I watched as a kid. And a lot of those were programmes my parents watched, so many of them are from quite a while ago.

Anyway, Bagpuss time now!! I have seen all episodes of this countless times. And I never get less excited!

Mum does impressions of the noises and voices and songs of characters from Bagpuss when I am in the bath. It makes me laugh 😆😄!!
