#is there a Bluey episode about when parents fight

[autumn-warrior]

People who have healthy family dynamics: whats it like when your parents fight?

[c-u-c-koo-4-40k]

Here's a funny kinda nostalgic post for commenting on.

In Husbandry Warhammer what media normally designed more for kids do Space Marines enjoy? (Aka what media are they latching onto because it is healing their traumatized inner child?)

I'm gonna go through some of my totally unbiased opinions. And if you're favorite legion isn't on here...

Comment it with your thoughts!

Thousand Sons - Take your damn pick there's so much magic based media but of course the Owl House is up there for recent examples.

...some of the Loyalist Thousands Sons do get a bit...existential when the plot line of the tyrannical Emperor Belos gets expanded upon.

Ironically despite its fictional nature Thousand Son or other psycher space marines use certain scenes in it almost like training videos for their offspring.

Ultramarines - You can't Tell me these guys wouldn't like Bob the Builder, and Thomas the Tank Engine. The main characters are Blue and so much of trains and building is logistics! And Cyberspace! Logistics is mostly math so Cyberspace is in there too.

Death Gaurd - Zoboomafo, the focus on flora and fauna is quite enjoyable for marines literally in tune with the cycle of life. Children's shows in general often use simpler language which is easier to understand or translate for Marines still coming to grasp with ancient terran languages. The similarly enjoy The Wild Thornberries

Nightlords - Goosebumps. They LOVE Goosebumps and 'Are you afraid of the Dark?' No I will not explain it.

Blood Angels - Art Attack! Never watched the show myself but Damn it looks fun! And perfect for craft inclined Blood Angels.

Alpha Legion - The animated Carmen Sandiego cartoon! Deception, mystery and most importantly disguises! What more could a hydra want? And Blue Clues...because.

Salamanders - Dragon Tails. Love watching it with their family or kids. The show has a big focus on family itself and giant lizards it's practically made for them! Would probably also like Dinosaur Train.

Emerperors Children - Steven Universe. The art, the music, the messy drama of the characters that makes them weep and the existential dread of being similarly tied to a parent or family that is...complicated.

They find a lot of comfort and catharsis in it.

Black Templars - Veggie Tales. Okay JK kinda they would like that just swap out God for God Emperor. Also...Winnie the Pooh.

Is it just because Pooh is Yellow like their gene father? That's not entirely it but they approve of the little yellow bear who isn't the brightest but he does his Best Okay!

I could also see them using it as another weird allegory for the God Emperor loving and protecting because in quite a few episodes of "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh," Christopher Robin shows up to help Pooh and Friends out of their predicaments.

Iron Warriors - Reboot! My sister loved this show as a kid, and given its focus on computers/a digital world I could see them enjoying it! Also they like Cyber Space because Math. And...Chip and Dale rescue rangers But! They like it specifically for the scenes with Gadget because she makes cool things and they also want to make cool things/find a way to make them work.

See a video on AstartikTok about an Iron Warrior making a remote controlled roller skate and putting the families pet rat on it.

The rat is unharmed and even seems to enjoy the ride.

Dark Angels - Redwall. God that series gave me Nightmares but it Was still technically a kids show....technically. Also Jane and the Dragon, they like the medical aesthetic.

Space Wolves - No I'm not saying paw patrol. Blue Clues and Bluey! But All the legions have Marines who like Bluey! There's hardly a demographic on this planet that doesn't have a legion of Bluey Fans!

Also the old Tarzan Disney animated series because it was actually pretty damn hot shit! And full of cool action scenes fighting giant frightening animals.

White Scars - My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. Yes because horses, and yes because it espouses the values of community and collaboration and it has a kicking soundtrack. And White Scars are one of the few legions who both accept psychers but also acknowledge their inherent danger. They have a big focus on meditation and not becoming lost to the power you wield and finding support in those around you. They appreciate the similar messaging in the show.

War Hounds and World Eaters - Lazy Town. Because all of them want to become as strong as Sportacus and be able to lift a fuckin pyramid with a grappling hook from an airship!

Please stop them, the Pyramids of Giza need to stay where they are. Don't let them cause an international incident.

Ravengaurd - Ruby Gloom. They enjoy the macabre atmosphere merged with the cheerful main character. Plus the music isn't half bad.

Some tags for ya'll if you wanna jump in! And don't hesitate to comment about legions already mentioned if you've got more ideas about shows they'd like.

will not shut up about how bluey's 30 min episode gave us so much more lore and references to the real world

the writes really made so much literal and euphemistic use of the word "sign" in this episode

in chronological order! and spoilers below!!

do let me know if I missed anything out!

FRISKY AND RAD'S WEDDING!!!! in the iconic heeler house!!

bandit's bully bucky dunstan being the real estate agent selling his house

English sheepdog buying the bluey house (emigration - would be nicer if they got english voice actors to voice them though)

the bluey house was actually for sale on an Australian real estate website! and as per the time of writing this post, it's been "withdrawn from sale" - the bluey digital marketing team AMAZES ME.

I wonder which city bandit got a new job in - don't know if they'll explore that in future seasons

bluey's friend the brown dog (I'm sorry I don't know his name) having 2 mums!

winton talking about his divorced parents and the terriers' saying their mom likes winton's dad!!!

jack and his army interest! him and rusty playing army!!

the sitting in a tree, kissing thing that kids do

Jeremy the gnome

bobo being the car's name

frisky's licence plate being fr15k

the first time kids sit in the front seat of the car

police officers pulling people on the road over LMAO

rad's profile picture being him goofing around with his 2 brothers

how realistic it is trying not to lose someone you're following on the road

the butterfly from slide!! 🦋 it has a name! flappy!

everyone being afraid of the butterfly except bingo because we know she loves insects!

chilli reminiscing how she and frisky used to go to the lookout to "think" when we all knew she meant drink LOL

frisky's 3rd friend appears!

BRANDY IS PREGNANT???

the canon in d rendition as bgm

the busker being the priest??

also they got mort and maynard to come attend the wedding too!!

frisky's father is a typical surfer dude lmao

we see trixie standing amongst the girls during the bouquet toss. and then we see stripe come in to intercept the toss. does this mean that stripe and trixie are not married yet and have just been cohabitating? stripe grabs the bouquet and celebrates, but we see trixie face palm... what does this mean??

love the photo montage and the huge family photo, how it shows that you can't get everybody to be ready for the photo

AFTERPARTY

GRANDPA BOB WENT TO INDIA TO FIND HIMSELF 😭 man needed spiritual rediscovery

the busker is the music dj too!!

uh oh... stripe and trixie are fighting... perhaps it was about the bouquet toss? and we see socks playing with the cake toppers - possibly mimicking her parents actions

awww Radley quit his job so that frisky could stay in a city she loved ❤️

they brought back the music from dance mode!

NANA AND BOB FLOSSING!!!

chattermax randomly appearing 😭

bingo getting stuck in the railing again

bingo being sad because she has to move and lila won't be able to follow. which is also the moment I realised they won't be moving in the end, because of the montage at the end of daddy drop-off episode where bingo and lila grow up together and be friends "forever and ever and ever"!

the 2 English sheepdogs pushing their fluff away from their eyes to see haha

THEM SEEING WINTON'S DAD'S HOUSE WITH A POOL WHICH IS FOR SALE BECAUSE THEYRE MOVING IN WITH THE TERRIERS AND THEIR MOTHER!! THEY ALL FIT IN ONE CAR!!!

seeing the iconic bluey house empty, with spots where furniture used to be somehow makes me feel a little empty and nostalgic

the montage of them saying goodbye to their old neighbours, bandit having one last chat with pat, the girls and chilli saying goodbye to judo and her mum

Judo still has short hair!

chilli reminiscing the kitchen because bluey took her first steps there

WHO SANG THAT SONG IN THE END PLEASE RELEASE IT LUDO STUDIOS

THE SHEEPDOGS WENT BACK ON THEIR DECISION TO BUY BLUEYS HOUSE TO BUY WINTON'S DAD HOUSE

you can tell how much chilli didn't want to move as she was the first one out of the car running over to hug him when she realised bandit didn't want to sell the house anymore. and the shoulder shakes shows that she was fully sobbing too

iconic kiwi rug! loved the simplicity of the last scene, where even if there's nothing around you, as long as you're together with the people you love, eating the simplest meal, enjoying the moment, that's family.

Writing Tips - The “Lesson Of The Day” Format

(TL;DR at the bottom)

With the lesson of the day format - which relies on teaching the audience and characters a lesson within each instalment of a continuing story - it definitely benefits to have a wide cast of characters to invoke the lesson onto; not every problem is going to apply to every character. A character who constantly works in teams to the point of there being conflict over their over-reliance on a team is not going to need a lesson on teamwork being good

The show Bluey, while not sticking to quite as blatant of a lesson of the day format, is very clever with how they execute this; Bluey and Bingo both have the general struggles that children their ages may have - Bluey being loud and rambunctious to the point of occasionally coming off as rude, while Bingo struggles to speak up for herself and communicate her needs and emotions when she believes it may not be what others want to hear - but outside of these realistic challenges in growing up they’re generally very well-behaved, intelligent children with a lot of empathy and compassion… and then there’s Muffin

Simultaneously hated and a fan favourite, Muffin is seen as an absolute gremlin child, for better or worse; she’s stubborn, bossy, argumentative and frequently prone to shouting at others. Muffin, however, is also generally open to learning lessons and shows growth throughout the show, because like all kids, problematic or not, she still has a good side that can be nurtured. This makes Muffin a perfect candidate to learn lessons that wouldn’t apply to well-behaved Bingo and Bluey, and vice versa; Bingo needs to learn to use her ‘big girl bark’, but Muffin has that down in spades

Another thing that Bluey does well is to note how you don’t need to make a mistake to learn a lesson; I don’t remember the name of the episode, but I can remember one where Bluey is trying to block the rain on the road and Chilli keeps blocking her from tracking mud into the house, getting more and more frustrated every time she has to re-mop the floor - but then she sees what Bluey is trying to do, smiles and goes to help her. There was no point in which a mistake was made by either party, but a lesson Chilli seemed to take away from it was that her daughter’s smile is more important than a bit of mud on the floor. A lot of parents get worried about play that results in a mess, so this episode to me felt like it was highlighting the importance of prioritising the play over something easy to clean up after - but Chilli was never portrayed as in the wrong for wanting a clean house and Bluey was encouraged to keep working at blocking the water

And to my next point, remember earlier when I gave the example of someone who’s accused of being too reliant on their team not needing to learn a lesson about teamwork? This is an example taken from arguably one of the most controversial episode of Miraculous Ladybug; Penalteam. Throughout all of Season 4 there was an overarching love square conflict of Ladybug relying more on the temp heroes and Chat Noir feeling left out and replaced due to this. I’ve gone on so many rants about this conflict and I could go on one again, but I’ll keep it relevant

By the time the episode Penalteam comes around, being the episode right before the two-part finale, it’s well-established that Ladybug is supposed to be in the wrong for relying too much on heroes other than Chat Noir. In this episode she does try and big him up, saying they can take on the villain and her clones just the two of them, but then Chat awkwardly has to confess that he’s not actually very knowledgeable on how to play football (they played football instead of having a regular fight that episode, it makes more sense in context) and that Ladybug should call in her team

This could work as a character development moment for Chat if it was treated as him realising the benefits of having a team and acknowledging that he’s not always the best person for the job, but it’s isolated to this one moment and never acknowledged again even in the episode

Ladybug then starts to over-insert herself in the football game rather than relying on her teammates, and the lesson is that she needs to be a team player. But since this comes after a full season of her being criticised for relying too much on her team, the lesson feels very out of place and forced for her. Again, it could’ve worked if it was Chat Noir learning to accept that you can work as a team without being overshadowed and gaining an understanding that each team member contributes something unique just as he does, but the show’s creator himself has confirmed that a rule of his show is that Marinette/Ladybug specifically must always make a mistake to learn from. Sadly, this often leads to a poor distribution of blame, leaving Ladybug overly punished and other characters getting away with actions that would normally be framed as bad

Penalteam is maybe the most blatant example of why this rule of only one character being allowed to make and learn from mistakes doesn’t work; different lessons apply to different people, and sometimes these lessons can conflict with one another. And that’s okay! Because personality traits can have two extremes, and getting both messages out can be a good thing to show the audiences; some kids might indeed need to practice some self-reliance and independence while others may need to learn to work better with others and accept help when they need it. But without acknowledging when one lesson has been taught before and that there’s a healthy balance between the two to strive for, you can’t pin two conflicting lessons on the same person

TL;DR: The lesson of the day trope isn’t just for kids, and can be found in stories geared towards adults as well. Having a wide cast of characters to teach lessons to can be very beneficial since not every lesson will apply to every character, and allowing every character to make mistakes lessons the chance of an unfair distribution of blame which would make the story’s resolution unsatisfying. You don’t necessarily need a mistake to be made whatsoever in order to teach a lesson, and characters can learn lessons from the mistakes of others just as much as mistakes they themself made. Outside of maintaining a balance between two extremes, some lessons are mutually exclusive, and so shouldn’t be mutually applied to the same character without acknowledging and ideally explaining that

Gonna finish off this series with episode 8 and then go binge watch Bluey while I paint my walls today

Alastor distorting video feeds like a cryptid that can't be captured on camera is one of the most interesting things about him tbh

I still really, realllly feel like an all-out war with Heaven should be like, a giant show finale and not the end to the first season. Where do we go from here?? We already know God doesn't exist in this universe, so what other lore is even left to be explored?

Once again Charlie giving some big heartfelt speech really doesn't feel earned when we've barely spent any time with these characters

Hate to keep beating a dead horse here but Alastor when did you start caring about the hotel and its residents

He's a good dad to Nifty though, 10/10

"You have always been a worthy opponent" Pentious we didn't see you fight Cherri Bomb once in the show

Oh fuck off this More Than Anything reprise is really good

THEY FINALLY KISSED FUCKING HELL

And ofc they had to immediately follow it up with Adam lmao. Not even Alex Brightman can save this character

"That's how they can kill us? With our OWN weapons?" HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW THIS. WHY WAS THIS TREATED LIKE SOME BIG MYSTERY.

It's so fucking wild to me that we're seeing angels get slaughtered by the dozens and yet we're expected to believe no other demons have ever fought back against them until now??

FUCK HIM UP ALASTOR- WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY VOX???

Al's voice in this part??? Hello????????

Charlie why are you apologizing to the angels who are literally trying to slaughter your friends and family

jfc why did those two kiss, how does this show have zero idea how to write romance

oh he's fucking dead lmao

DAMN RAZZLE AND DAZZLE BEING BIG DRAGON BOYS, I'm GAME though Charlie why didn't you do this at the start on the battle

SHIT NO DON'T HURT THE DREG BOYS

FUCK HIM UP CHARLIE.

Vaggie should've taken Lute's eye tbh

Oh yeah you'd think Lucifer would've been here sooner considering the angels are attacking his kingdom but here we are

Honestly I think Charlie should've been the one to defeat Adam. He was fucking awful to her from the start.

NIFTY GOT HIM LMAOOOOOO

Lute why do you care about Adam?? He was awful to you too???

Also what happened to Alastor?? Is he good??

Also kind of wild we're dedicating an entire song to Pentious but his actual death was played off like a joke

Ohh fuck we're gonna demonize Lilith for being a less-than-perfect parent but completely ignore Lucifer doing the same thing aren't we. This happened in Helluva Boss and I can see it happening again

I love how literally no one gives a shit that Alastor's gone lmao

Oh wait there he is

Ooh so he definitely made a deal with someone, very interesting

HE'S AN ANGEL OH MY GOD

Also Lilith??? Is in Heaven???? What??????

Honestly nothing I can say hasn't already been said about this show and finale. Kinda stupid Al literally got hit once and then just fucking dipped until the end, like good job man way to show you cared. BUT ITS OVER AND I'M FREE. I'm gonna go paint my walls and sew some stuff

personality description :: sophie can and will get excited over the little things she sees during the day. no one is safe from her relentless optimism!! are you sad? boom, have a look at this cute cat gif. feeling down? then look at this shiny rock picked up just for you! grace hoards all of these tiny, seemingly useless objects to either cheer up her friends, dole out as gifts, or to add to her personal mini-hoard. even strangers can be victims to her unrelenting positivity: if someone looks down, merry will pepper them with questions and fun facts and maybe even some drawings until they feel better. that’s what she’s good at! even if the person has to fake it so they can back away… but don’t tell her that, you’d break her heart.

Hey Kit,

do you know Bluey? It is a show for little children but it is super wholesome and calming. Also it has lots of jokes for adults. I often watch it when RL is too hard. I love it because the children aren't super annoying like for example Calliou.

This show reminds me so often on KUWSK because the parents try to be good but sometimes they make mistakes and then they admit it. The children fight and play and are sometimes annoying but it the end you have a super wholesome feeling. Ever if you realize as an adult that the episode is about a serious topic behind all the fun.

The episodes are super short and I would rec you the show if you search for a sweet show for in-between.

Oh this sounds nice! I’ve heard of the show before, but I’ve never seen it, but you make it sound very good and nice and peaceful 😌 I think my go to comfort shows are criminal procedurals I watched a lot in my teens but this is a great argument for branching out

[constellationmelody]

I was scared to watch this episode because I know it will break my heart, so i took some time to mentally prepare myself I kept it together... barely. I’m not a parent nor know what is the correct protocol on the event where you have to give up your child and the child is too young to have a heavy life altering decision discussion where you’ll never see them again but even if you have to lie to the kid, it’s cruel and painful to think that when the child will eventually come realize that they’ll never see you again, it’ll break their little hearts too. IDK If what Kazuki and Rei did was the correct way but I suppose its the only way to pass the kid without going through the hard part of them fighting. Still, It’s painful.

Though tbh I had something similar happen to me but the kid was already old enough to understand.  I’m gonna start watching Bluey So i can try and feel better about this. I can’t wait for the last two episodes.  BUT DO HOPE THAT KAZUKI AND REI FUCKING SHOOT OGINO RYO AND REI’S DAD FOR GETTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LITTLE HAPPY FAMILY!

[gardenapples]

Watched Bluey with the kids I babysit

- they all have favorite episodes and fight about which ones to show me. I've seen them all already but it's cute.

- my favorite is Fairies because the Fairies are actually real and were actually causing problems on purpose. Which means the parents were right to be afraid.

- I also like Unicorse because how Bandit plays with puppets is how my dad plays with puppets.

- most of these episodes are good, the only one I don't like is Movies.

- my favorite character (besides the main Heeler family) is Jack. He's a good child. I also like Coco.

- my least favorite character is probably Judo but I don't have the same vitriolic hatred other people have. It's a fictional dog girl yall, you are overreacting.

- Onesies made me cry when I watched it and I love it.

- the kids wanted to know why Brandy was sad and I told them it was because she wants babies but can't have them and sometimes it's hard for people who can't have babies to be around children. They understood. Except for the littlest one who suggested she steal Bingo.

- Pat (Lucky's Dad) has a good sense of humor about everything the Heelers put him through. Unrelated but I like when Bandit attacks him with the rake.

- Some people don't like Wendy but I think she's pretty cool. She tries her best and gives Bandit a run for his money.

- Some people don't like Bluey because she's bossy. Some people have forgotten what it's like to be six, we were all bossy at six.

3/5/23 CW: Abuse/Trauma mention kinda? ADHD stuff, anxiety stuff, "The Bluey Post."

Last couple days have been okay. I've been learning to manage the panic attacks better. I didn't actually have one today- I kinda had a smaller episode yesterday, but I put on some Bluey and it turns out to be like, magic anti-panic attack medicine. Who knew.

Some people have heard me say (seen me type?) before that after watching Zootopia, I didn't want to FUCK Clawhauser; I just wanted to be his friend. My first real furry crush was Alex the Lion from Madagascar- just a bright, bouncy, funny, silly, charming character that loved to perform and loved people- bonus points for having huge bappy manimal paws and big chompy teeth. This is going somewhere, I promise.

I feel like there's this positivity vacuum in my life that makes me a sucker for hyper-pure characters and content, like it artificially fills some kind of void that makes me wish I were a part of it in an earnest and genuine way.

Bluey has been like... The greatest expression of that feeling. I love watching Bluey never stop being bossy because she gets away with it nine times out of ten due to her shear charisma. I love watching Bingo constantly challenged to fight for attention and respect, and ultimately succeeding. I love watching the chaos that unfolds literally any time that Muffin is on-screen. I love the way Bandit genuinely loves his daughters and does everything in his power to spend time with them and indulge them, even if it's not always on his preferred terms. I love the storyboarding, the subtle hints at deeper trauma across the cast, the relatability of the characters.

I remember before ever seeing the show, I saw a clip of Jack on Twitter. Why can't you sit still? Why can't you remember anything? Why can't you just do what you're told? He stops fidgeting for a moment and really thinks about it and says, sadly:

"... I don't know."

I cried to that clip- hard- because that moment with Jack was my entire childhood and was the most I ever related to a character. It was the most I had ever seen of myself on a TV show packed into three words uttered by a cartoon jack russell terrier that couldn't remember his god damn hat.

Every day of my life, my dad yelled and screamed at me asking why I couldn't do these simple things he asked me to do and all I could say was "I don't know." Sometimes he'd scream it back at me at the top of his lungs in that condescending slurred "pretending to be special needs" tone, mocking me.

My third grade teacher tried to tell my parents "Chris is very smart but has a difficult time staying on task and participating in class- I think that Chris may be struggling with ADHD" and my mom jumped down her throat for suggesting her son could have been anything less than perfect. She didn't attend parent teacher conferences anymore after that. Where dad was hard on me, mom coddled me and kept me "under [her] wing" as dad would say.

I grew up "smart" and "gifted" but "lazy" and "unmotivated," bullshitting and last-minute-ing my way through school, flopping upwards and somehow convincing everyone I was everything they thought I was.

I'm not medicated or diagnosed and I can't afford to be, but I KNOW I'm ADHD. Seeing the way other people struggle and relating to it all- the time blindness, the hyper-focus, the terrible working memory, the difficulty managing emotions, the executive dysfunction, the rambling- yes I know I'm doing it right now, sorry- all of it and more.

At THAT moment, seeing Jack internally question why he can't do all these simple things really endeared me to the character, and I knew I wanted to watch Bluey for more than just lusting after Bandit (god help me he's still so fucking ideal). When I actually watched the show and reached that episode, I was floored by just how beautifully and subtly the show straight up teaches kids about ADHD without ever mentioning it.

Rusty involves Jack in a game that challenges every debilitating aspect of his neurodivergency, and Jack succeeds in every event based on the three motivational pillars of ADHD: Urgency, Novelty, and Personal Interest. If you think of motivation as a bridge, those three things make up the planks you step across, and if any or all of them are missing, it's MUCH harder for someone with ADHD to stay invested in the task at hand and follow through from start to finish without struggling along the way. It's a game, so there's novelty. Jack wants to make a good impression on Rusty, so there's personal interest. In the last part of the game, they need that dust off NOW, so there's your urgency. All three allow Jack to overcome his poor working memory (difficulty remembering multiple pieces of information across short periods of time), his inability to sit still, and his executive dysfunction (inability to actively prioritize what your brain decides to focus its attention on). The episode is just extremely well researched. Fun fact, did you know there's a prominent, internationally recognized authority in the field of ADHD research named Russell Barkley? Coincidence? I think not!

Obviously I got off-track and rambled a bit and now I'm mentally spent, but all I mean to say is that Bluey is a really, overwhelmingly beautiful and cozy show and I'm extremely thankful to have it in my life. It is genuinely beautiful artistically and the animators are given a lot of opportunity to flex their creativity. There's a lot to love but that first episode with Jack was the one that really sold me on it.

It's about 1:30 AM now, I've got a pot roast I've gotta get in the slow cooker in the morning, and I think I'm more prone to panic attacks when I'm sleep-deprived, so I'm gonna try to maneuver around this cat that's leaned up against my thigh and go to sleep.

I don't know if anyone is actually reading these, but I kinda like typing them either way.

Night.

[thatonesongyouretryingtoremember]

A) I have been informed that Surprise is not the finale and that more episodes may hypothetically come out on the indefinite future, so YIPPEE

and secondly, I actually really kinda like what Bandit's arc is looking like I'd The Sign is any indication. I thought this arc was only just introduced for this episode, but if you look closer there are signs before that. In Chest, Bandit is frustrated that the kids won't do what he asks, and the reason they are disagreeing is about the game of chess. Bandit thinks teaching the kids chess will make them smarter aka the same thing what all parents want so that their kids will have a Good Future Garunteed Hopefully, which is exactly what he was doing when he decided to move. He also has some body image issues that become more aparentent in S3, particularly in an episode where he is willing to play whatever his kids want as long as he can finish his workout.

The thing is, these types of small behaviors that are all about trying to have control over your life are things that you expect from someone like Wendy, the stereotypical suburbanite. She gets weirded out by the Heelers acting silly, she is a luxury dog breed (I think?? I'm a cat person lol) that IRL ppl get for the aesthetic, she spends lots of time on her hair and even "fixed" Bandit's mullet haircut (ouch) and is said to be very punctual. In the episode Baby Race, I fully expected Wendy to be the one initiating the competition, trying to be the best mom of the group or brav about her successful daughter Judo. In truth, it was Chilli who felt the need to compare herself. She tried to *control* how fast Bluey learned to walk so she could feel like a good mother (just like how Bandit did with moving and with the chess set)

The biggest difference is that Chilli started learning her lesson about letting go of control years ago, back when Bluey lost the race. Even Wendy loosens up significantly during the show. Bandit, on the other hand, shows an increasing level of worry surrounding this topic right up until he gets a call from his real estate agent/kindergarten nemesis about the sheepdogs (ARE they sheepdogs??? pls don't fight me)

Chilli had just let go of her fear of moving because she didn't actually KNOW if it was a good decision or not. Bandit, up until this point, fully believed he had to move for his job so that he would be Doing The Right Thing and ensuring the best future and all, but in the end, by deciding to leí the house, he made a choice that not only reflected the feelings of his family nennt, the people most important to him, but also in doing so made a decision that seems counter-intuitive to the typical definition of "success" and hoped it would turn out alright.

I haven't seen Surprise yet, but after watching The Sign, I really thought the series did not need an epilogue. The whole episode was about how the future is uncertain, Bluey can't know her future, Bandit can't say for sure what will incidentally create the best future for his kids etc. What's the point of adding an epilogue to something like that? Shouldn't we be left to imagine infinite possibilities?

Then I heard about the Discourse.

Hello!✨

Chaos idea: The clump try to have a movie night but spend two hours scrolling mindlessly through their prefered streaming service because they just can't decide on a movie

They end up watching Bluey, that's the only show they all love equally

But then they start fighting about which episode to watch!

Red would probably cry with sleepy time, especially that part where Chili assures Bingo she will be there for her even if she can't see her bcs I firmly believe Red never had his parents tell him that, (he just gives off daddy and mommy issues, specially in the family episode and how most of the time he tries to avoid confrontation like that part where he fires Duck due to pressure). And maybe baby race

Duck would LOVE the episode where Jack and Rusty play army with all those military references that remind him of his childhood and youth (even tho hes like, 30) He would probably like baby race too

I think Yellow would like the butterflies ep, and he would be constantly singing the poor little bug on the wall song as vocal stimming (i know my sister and i did haha!)

Green it's kinda hard… It's maybe because i have not finished watching all the episodes (i just cannot binge watch it because i cry way too much and i end up exhausted) but i can't choose an episode for him… i was thinking maybe the bedroom one, but it's not right enough…

I would probably continue to watch it and maybe when I finish I could give him an episode!

For now, he just likes all of the episodes :D

Oh I cry over every single episode of Bluey no matter what so I'm right there with you.

Yeah. Red would weep every time Chili and Bandit are good parents bc he very obviously did NOT have a good childhood and has basically no relationship with his family/peers. Sleepy Time would make him cry SO BAD man... Poor guy. He's role in my AU really is, like, ending his family trauma with him and ensuring that Yellow and Green have the supportive family he never had, so the bedtime episode would really get him :( poor guy :(

All I could think of during that army episode was Duck lol, he's my go-to army guy now. I think he'd also really like the episode with Chili's dad because he feels kinship with Mort being a crazy old dude that's kind of a curmudgeon but deep down loves his family (bonus points for him being implied to be a veteran)

Yellow loves all the silly episodes and the songs but I think he'd also love Sleepytime because of Bingo's relationship with floppy reminding him of his relationship with Doggie.

Green's a toughie, but I really think he'd resonate with Space the most. He'd love the scientific aspects of Mackenzie pretending to be an astronaut, and also wanting to be the lead explorer. SPOILERS here if you haven't seen this episode, but the separation anxiety and abandonment issues that Mackenzie experiences in this episode remind me so much of Green. They way he feels like it's up to him to save 'the crew' and how terrified he actually is of being abandoned by his family, especially because it's happened before in the past. But he has to learn to trust the people he cares about to care about him in return. (🥲🥲🥲🥲)

My Other Fanfics in the Future

Well, I made announcements about my 2 Loonatics fanfics-related stories coming soon. So here are my other fanfics that I am making. But before I am going to show you my other fanfics, I like to share what most of them are like. Kervinverse related. If you checked my Tumblr header it's pretty obvious.

As you may wonder what is the Kervinverse is all about? The Kervinverse is like the multiverse but with all different kinds of Kervin. Inspired by Spiderman Into the Spiderverse all the versions of Kervin contained different personalities, stories, almost the same appearance, fighting styles, and special abilities. One of the most signature outfits is the black and red formal suit.

I already made a folder in toyhouse. However, most of it are unfinished and still ongoing.

https://toyhou.se/Kervin619/characters/folder:812137

People think that those stories a self-insert but it is actually not. Me and my other Kervins are the same but they are different the appearance, abilities, and personalities. An example is Denk Ops’s Chris Danger from the WWE games. And note that this is another long announcement for the other fanfics

So anyway, here are my Kervinverse stories that I would really like to share about Wattpad in the future. So are book covers later

KERVINVERSE STORIES (Including crossovers):

Grand Theft Auto Origins: Kervin Made Liberty – Set in the GTA HD Universe. Before Kervin (GTA Online) came to the place called San Andreas, he was just a very young boy who was born in the place called Liberty with his parents. His father Claude who became rich and retired to a life crime and his wife Misty who used to be a prostitute. It was normal and happy life for him and his parents. But when years passed when he is getting older, he slowly starts to realize what kind of broken world he is living in.

Now for those who played the HD Universe of the GTA Games you know every protagonist in the HD universe like Niko, Johnny, Luis, Michael Franklin, and Trevor. As much as they have different stories and perspectives but this story about GTA OC that he was living with full of offensiveness, disrespectfulness, brutal honesty, and others. An example in GTA IV a radio commercial of Babies Overnight that said that someone was not satisfied with the baby it can be disposed of. Although it would be interesting to have that backstory for my next OC for GTA. So, this story may contain a lot of murder and crimes on what led to him going to San Andreas. So, watch out. And for those who have not played GTA Online why his parents are both Claude and Misty is because it was part of the premium edition for free in Epic Games.

Def Jam X Kung Fu Panda: Book 1 Fight for A New Fight (maybe a working title) - After the events of Def Jam Vendetta, Fight For New York, and The Kung Fu Panda Trilogy including Legends of Awesomeness. Set during Paws of Destiny Season 2 in the Kung Fu Panda universe while in Def Jam 2 years later in the year 2005 after Crow's death (Fight for NY still takes place in 2003) Kervin (Def Jam Fight For NY) the new leader D-Mob's crew but also officially known as the Def Jam Crew after Blaze appointed him to take his place. Kervin has to manage every venue, club, and arenas in New York including places that Crow took over. But in Chinese New Year there was something strange that Kervin and his crew got transported to a different universe. Including former members, fighters, and circuit fighters.

Now, this fanfiction sounded really odd. As you may know why I am making crossover fanfic of Kung Fu Panda X Def Jam? Easy. The first one is because this is what would have been my PS2 games if I ever have a PS2. I was thinking of Mortal Kombat or Yakuza for Def Jam but Kung Fu Panda is the only thing I know when I was 7 years old. The second is because back in the days Hip Hop mixed with Kung Fu was very popular. Although Def jam may be a wrestling game martial arts stole my heart in Def Jam Fight For NY. I heard about things like the Wu-Tang Clan for example but the biggest problem for me is that I am not a true fan of Def Jam because I don’t know about hip hop artists. Just only the games so I will be focusing on their video game counterparts in their fictitious manner meaning pretending real-life characters with their real name are fictional characters. So, if there and fun facts in those real-life counterparts I may add them to it like easter eggs. The third is that there are Kung Fu Panda characters that did not get enough love and mostly art. So many recognizable characters like Po, Tigress, Tai Lung, and many more have become the most recognizable characters in the movies. But what about the tv shows like Legends of Awesomeness and Paws of Destiny? One of my favorite characters of Legends of Awesomeness is Peng, in short, he is the nephew of Tai Lung and he is such an interesting character that he deserves a lot more love. While for Paws of Destiny is Xiao because she is such a cute character, so is her personality and the best character to have hugs with. So, what I am trying to say is that I need to start off with the character that is unrecognizable then bring it recognizably. I may also add characters from shorts like student Mei Ling in the future book and it would be funny and to see rogue Mei Ling. 2 Mei Lings in one. Even Su and Master Snow Leopard because are both female leopards with the same appearance and outfit. I may also include some characters from the flash game Tales of Po and may possibly rewrite them in different stories because I love the character designs thanks to Blue Maxima’s FlashPoint. And the fourth and final part is that to make the Def jam games more recognizable. Def Jam in music is not absolutely enough but video games are. The Def Jam games did not bring a sequel after Fight For NY so I might as well make a sequel with interesting and experimental crossover fanfic just like The Loonatics Road.

The Red Fox (Kingdom Force Spinoff and maybe a working title) - The Kingdom Force has 5 members defending the 5 Kingdoms. Luka the wolf who leads in red, Jabari who runs in yellow, TJ who drills in green, Delilah who swings in orange, and Norvyn who strengthens in blue. Each of the 5 drives Kingdom Riders and turns them into Alpha Mech to fight against evil in the 5 Kingdoms. But even if they save the day multiple times the 5 Kingdoms are still filled with more crime and every antagonist came back doing other crimes and evil deeds because they were not arrested or eliminated. That's is when a red fox came along...

I have seen popular fandoms in cartoons that were supposed to aim at younger kids like Lion Guard, MLP, Paw Patrol, and even Bluey. But Kingdom Force is the cartoon that did get enough love. It's like Power Rangers and Voltron but with anthropomorphic animals like Zootopia. However, the stories and episodes in the show is very confusing and give me almost a lot of questions. But I do like the character designs in the show. My favorite hero is Luka who is a leader with and cute cuddly character personality and my favorite villain Envie Fernadez which she has a pretty hot design, name and voice and so is her personality. Reminds me of Sly Cooper but I have not played the game yet. But for the red fox also OC Kervin (Kindom Force) It’s still at work.

APB Reloaded X Zootopia: Anyone Can Be All You Can’t Be: - In Zootopia “Anyone Can Be Anything” But in San Paro “Be All You Can’t Be” Zootopia is a place where vicious predators and meek prey live in harmony. This means that people in Zootopia live together without the prey getting eaten by predators and predators not getting feared by the prey. They almost eat like us, they sleep like us, they speak like us, they walk like us, they run like us, they bathe like us (well almost), and most importantly they use technology like us. While San Paro maybe has a good look to sightsee but this city has a lot of crime. Robberies, bombings, thefts, drug dealing, murders and causalities, vandalism, and much more that we can think of. But that does not mean there is no justice in this world. When the Criminals like the Blood Roses and the G-Kings try to take over San Paro? The Enforcers Prentiss Tigers and Praetorians from come and save the day. What would happen when a human Enforcer meets a police fox and a police bunny? And how did it happen? Only one way to find out.

Now this one is also a Kervinverse crossover story. It focuses on Kervin (APB Reloaded) meeting Judy and Nick. I am trying to find a way on how will they meet each other. But the only thing ideas I know is that it can be a delivery gone wrong, an invention gone haywire or maybe a criminal stole something magical that is transported to a different universe. But I have a lot of strange things in the game like the Christmas events and Halloween events. I like to see any volunteers who play APB Reloaded. And for those Zootopia fans who have not played APB Reloaded you check it here. https://store.steampowered.com/app/113400/APB_Reloaded/

Well, that is it for the Kervinverse stories. Now it’s time for the other stories that I also planned in the future.

OTHER FANFICS:

Alza Flare (Road Rovers Fan Spinoff)- Alza is a black cat born in the place in New York City, USA. He was born inside a pet shop without cat parents since he was born. His parents' status is unknown. Although he did make friends with other cats and non-cats in the shop. But it was a short while until a human customer named Drayson Flare and adopted him as Alza Flare. Alza has been Drayson's pet for 3 years and they instantly became best friends but when during the time when they are about to go home from the park. A terrible accident happened.

A long time ago I watched Road Rovers on my phone just to try something nostalgic and the show is pretty good though although there are some parts that don’t use their powers all the time. One part that caught my eye is how brutal car accident in the episode “Dawn of The Groomer�� which gave me an idea of my new anti-villain OC character named Alza Flare. Sadly, he does have an image of him yet. But I will tell you that I will give you an interesting revenge story for him.

The Best Surfer In The World (Surf’s Up Spinoff. Maybe a working a title and synopsis change) - After the events of Surf's Up and Surf's Up 2: Wavemania. There was once a wolf who lives in the place of Chicago Illinois. He quit his own career due to being a rejected member of Hang 5 for being too unstable and after beating J.C. in a tournament years ago and after his early retirement, he spends his normal life as an ice cream man in his own ice-cream motorcycle with one of his own freshest ingredients and swears to himself that he would never in the waters again. Until he met a young Toyger.

Surf’s Up is my first favorite mockumentaries since I was young. It’s like you are watching animals andromorphic animals absolutely existed in the world we live in. It had an interesting story and writing so are the interesting characters. But when I watched Surf’s Up Wavemania. Well, I honestly love the WWE Superstars and Diva came into the movie but the story did not actually surprise me a lot. Even if the movie has a lot of beautiful locations it still did not surprise me enough because it is more like an adventure than a tournament. That is why I am planning to start my fanfiction in a new different approach with a real story and a real rivalry. Starting with wolf inspired and based on CM Punk during the part when he won the WWE belt against Cena in Money in the Bank when I watched it since intermediate school with a little rename change so it won’t be obvious. And of course, my Toyger OC because he would be trained by his own surfing master. Also, I added a Slam City easter egg

Fire Pro Wrestling World Origins: Story of 2 Angels – There is no synopsis of them yet. But I will tell you they are brother and sister with the last name “Angel” The brother who is a pop artist while the sister who joined a motorcycle club. What they both have in common is they both can fight. Their stories about my 2 new Fire Pro OCs will be coming soon. But they are not part of the fighting roads.

Well, that is all for all the future stories with some summaries that I really want to share coming soon. Thanks for following including Wattpad

Also making fanfic is really long to make just like making an announcement. So again. I only post all chapters in 1 book.

[bloodyfeverdreams]

Awww I’m so touched! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Always Sunny and I really should check it out someday. I love this community :>

Last Song You Listened To:

Oh I love the new rendition of “We Didn’t Start the Fire”, Fall Out Boy was not on my 2023 bingo card, but I’m so glad they did it. I love that song, and how serious they took each of the events. Also EverGiven Suez in the same place as the previous song makes me craaazzyyyy hehe

Currently Reading:

I don’t really have the ability to read right now, healing has set me back a lot unfortunately, but I will never not take a moment to promote @aliceinwhumperland​ ‘s Jack and Simone stories. They’re literally stories that I could never get enough of and I can’t wait to reread them eventually. But in terms of currently reading, all I can really do is maybe a sick!Bakugou Katsuki when I’m feeling good. Torment that spiky blonde and make the gremlin feel vulnerable and I will go feral :>

Currently Watching:

I am a 28 year old grown adult and I am unashamed to say I’m watching Bluey. I adore this show, it’s wonderful and sweet and I swear every episode helps heal my ptsd a little bit more. Also it’s really just a good show, with really great morals. I’ve seen plenty of other shows that have really shitty morals and make people apologize for not being wrong and giving in to the person who’s being mean and/or unreasonable, but this show doesn’t do that. The parents regularly apologize to their kids when they screw up, and they admit to them that they screwed up. I swear I come way too close to tears over this show. I know everyone loves Sleepytime, but honestly mine is Bin Night. That one always gets me, right in the feels.

And I will die on the hill that Muffin isn’t a spoiled brat. She’s just three you monsters. I can tell that none of you have ever been around a three-year-old. They throw tantrums all the time, and it’s a good thing that she feels comfortable being able to express her emotions all the time around her family. That means she feels safe. I am a Muffin defender and I will be forever.

Current Obsession:

I have a couple haha I play Disney Dreamlight Valley every day, I love this game. I really don’t like games that are too intense or with too much fighting or where I die and have to restart. I’ll play Lego games with my partner @withywhump​ (who you should definitely check out, they’re amazing) but that’s as far as I go. But this is soft and sweet and actually has a plot and I get to hang out with all of the characters I’ve always wanted to interact with since before I can remember. And some I’m not too fond of but eh, gotta take them all together. The other one is my always obsession with My Hero Academia. Honestly, if anyone wants to talk the show (up to season five I haven’t been able to continue until Katsuki is proven to be alive) or Bakugou Katsuki or Todoroki Shouto, I will talk until you’re begging me to stop haha
