#backyardigans: the flipper

[sci-simulacrumb]

Hey, visitors! Scientist let us film our first advertisement for the Reserve. Check it out:

Heads up! The Perseid meteor shower is about to reach its peak. If you're in the Northern Hemisphere between mid-July and late August, this annual shooting star showcase is right for you.

The Perseids get their name from the Perseus constellation, but that's not where they come from. They're actually remnants of comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle.

Comets are icy space rocks. When they fly through our solar system, the heat from rapidly approaching the sun forms the comets' tails. They often leave behind icy debris while orbiting the sun, and that's what ends up burning in the Earth's atmosphere during certain times of our planet's travels.

Pieces of comets and meteoroids become meteors when they zip through the Earth's atmosphere. Meteorites are any of those bits that survive the intense heat of their flight to the Earth's surface.

You can watch this meteor shower anywhere, so even if you don't visit the reserve, here are some tips:

* Choose a location with as little artificial light or tall obstructions as possible

* Lay back so you don't hurt your neck by looking up for long periods of time

* Give your eyes 15-30 minutes to adjust to the darkness

* Dress warm to be comfortable in the night air

i have made an important discovery. the gangsey and the backyardigans are the SAME. like i’m entirely convinced that maggie watched the show and was like yeah i could write a book about that

here are the Literal character descriptions from wikipedia:

— blue:

“Uniqua is a pink-spotted creature who is curious, self-confident, and adventurous. She likes to tell jokes and make her friends laugh. She wears pink, polka-dotted overalls and has a pair of swirled antenna on top of her head. She usually imagines herself having roles that require brains and courage, such as a scientist or pirate captain. She is the only main character to appear in every episode.”

— gansey:

“Pablo is high-strung, frenetic, and tends to overreact. He wears a blue bow tie and a propeller beanie. Due to his energy and impetuousness, he often goes into a "panic attack" when he faces an obstacle, running around in circles and telling everyone not to worry until someone gets his attention by calling his name three times. Pablo's panic attacks became less prominent after Season 1, though in the later episode "The Flipper!", his propensity for getting overexcited is the main plot point.”

— ronan:

“Tyrone is a red-haired orange moose who is laid-back and cool-headed. He wears a red and blue striped shirt. He is best friends with Pablo, and he is almost the complete opposite of Pablo in terms of personality, with his calm and easy going character. Tyrone is known for his sarcastic comments, one of them being ‘That certainly was convenient.’”

— adam:

“Tasha is a strong-willed yellow hippopotamus who is rational, skeptical, and highly motivated to get her own way. Tasha wears red Mary-Jane shoes and an orange dress with a flower pattern. She is the most serious of the Backyardigans, though she can be just as easy going as the others from time to time. Her catchphrase is ‘Oh, for goodness sakes.’ Nickelodeon describes Tasha as ‘deceptively sweet’ and ‘tough-as-nails.’”

— noah:

“Austin is a shy but fun-loving purple kangaroo. In Season 1, he is reserved and soft-spoken due to recently moving into the neighborhood. In later episodes, Austin becomes more outgoing and is revealed to be smart and imaginative. Austin rarely appears in the spotlight, but takes the role of the lead character in several episodes. described as ‘the one pulling up the rear. He's kind of a get-along guy.’”

No I mean it’s literally factual and canon that Pablo wants a meteor to be on a collision course with Earth. He sings a song about it. In “The Flipper”. He gets so so excited about meteors hitting the Earth that he turns into a rip-off of the Hulk. Luckily the evil can be removed by teddy bear

I am so sorry for forgetting this Critical piece of backyardigans lore. Teddy bears are our only protection against possibly the most terrible and evil enemy we humanity have ever faced. I will stock up, thank you for the information.
