Bluey is a fucking beautiful show.

When I say that the first things that come to mind are the visuals or its overall themes surrounding good parenting. However where Bluey truly shines as a show is in the few episodes where it takes a step back. Episodes like rain, born yesterday, and weekend. Each of these episodes aren’t as rooted in the bigger and heavier concepts of the show. Each one is simple in a very special way, attempting to show just life within Bluey’s family. Rain being one of my favorites due to its ability to communicate all of its simple but impactful ideas through their wordless actions.
Rain is a beautiful and mostly wordless episode. It chooses to have the audience completely focused on what Bluey is doing, that being playing in the rain. She attempts over and over to use the things around her to block the path of the draining water picking up towels, newspaper, and even toys lying around. Throughout the episode Chilly is attempting to keep the house dry and clean while Bluey plays, however she repeatedly has to start over due to Bluey’s antics.
In a strange way they parallel each other, attempting a small goal while the rain beats down, both of which only temporary. Even worse both their goals get in the way of each other’s due to the fact Bluey is soaked and is trying to get more things to block the water. This culminates with Chilly attempting to keep Bluey from the inside by holding her back. Bluey is more determined than her mother and manages to slip through. This is all to show how both the work put into a clean house and that put into fun will both be washed away.
With this Chilly gives up and sits down on the porch to relax and watch Bluey play. This moment of defeat allows Chilly to live truly in that moment and realize what this moment means for Bluey who as a child was living in that moment the whole time. As Bluey goes for her final attempt the water is about to breach her wall once again when Chilly steps in to help, it marches forward though and nearly moves past her feat. This prompts the final point for Chilly, coming to fully accept the moment for what it is and throwing her umbrella away to block the final bit of the path the water can get through.
As the water makes it to the edge of the walkway the rain stops denying the pair of the satisfaction, however while they are disappointed they know that it was worth it just living in that moment. Them being able to almost wrap up their fun with a double rainbow, symbolizing the beauty of that moment, and the pure innocence and fun that came with it. However just as they are about to head back inside the rain comes back, showing the eye of the storm and reinforcing the idea that these small moments are short and should be enjoyed to their fullest.
This episode and many others are made for relishing in the smaller parts of life, whether that be the small fleeting moments of rain, or the small wonders of the world we live in as explored in born yesterday. Bluey wants us to know that not everything has to be important and that most things won’t be. It wants us to feel how short our existence is and instead of getting lost in how small we are, taking in the beauty of the simple.
It is a blatant objection to the nihilistic point of view. Rejecting the idea that us being small makes us worthless, instead choosing to make us really focus on the small. Pushing us to take in what little we have and relish in the life we are given and the wonders of the world around us.
A bit different than my tma and poetry stuff but like I love this show to death and this is probably one of the main reasons why.

Hey y'all. With the Writer's Guild of America on strike, you might be hearing a lot more about something called "residuals," which are payments that the writers get for the studios continuing to air their work on reruns and such. Already I'm seeing people trying to frame the union trying to bargain for better residuals as greedy and unreasonable, so I just wanted to give you guys a peek into my dad's full, 100% real residual payments for writing some of the most watched episodes of American late night television.

Yeah lol. If u hear anyone trying to frame the conversation around residuals as writers being greedy, please do me a favor and punch them straight in the face ❤️🙃🙃

Toh comic (part one): “Roleplay”

Real simple but I’ve always wanted to draw this

King and colly comforting each other… yayyyy…. Next comic is a continuation about the princess shenanigans. Doesn’t exactly have the same premise but it does take place directly after this so whatever

yall know the. “mechanisms is jon’s college band” au? sometimes basira is there and sometimes jordan is there and also sometimes nikola is there which i personally. don’t really enjoy? to each their own and i think its funny but i just. shot up with an epiphany. i dont know if its been done before but

nikola orsinov says This

and um. in tma avatar speech “borrow” often means. steal or kill.

so what if.

the voice we hear, nikola’s voice, the voice belonding to jessica law who also voices the toy soldier. was actually the voice of jon’s old college friend who played it? and nikola either stole it painfully or killed them?

might develop an actual oc for them but feel free to just take and Run

mmmm imagine the angst of hearing your old friend who you lost touch with for the first time, and her voice actually belongs to something inhuman; but it sounds so much like them you can’t help but feel like they personally betrayed you.

how very Stranger, huh?

ofc nikola had no way of knowing that the random musician they grabbed would end up being Extremely close to their target: but hey, it makes everything easier
