My thoughts during “The Sign” [SPOILERS!!!!!]
Tumblr media
ID in ALT
More thoughts under the cut
So I think most of us can agree that this is the best episode of Bluey so far. It was so emotional and satisfying in ways that are kinda new for Bluey. It answered so many questions while giving us a few new ones. I’ve been waiting for this episode for months and it did not disappoint in any way.
This is just a Chekov’s firing squad of an episode. As in a lot of stuff that was set up in earlier episodes all pay off in this episode. I kinda understand why people love soap operas now lol. I will say that this episode was a tad overwhelming for me in the best way possible. As in I had to pause and rewind every 30 seconds or so so I could emotionally process what was happening before moving forward (but that’s a me thing). There was just so much going on and I’m happy about that.
Now onto individual thoughts about specific things:
The callback to Baby Race (“you took your first steps in that house!”) really got to me because Baby Race was the first episode of Bluey that I watched and it immediately made me fall in love with it so it just got to me.
When Chilli said “Frisky and I came up here as teenagers to…um…think,” my mind started racing immediately with “what the FUCK happened at the Lookout?” “Who hurt Frisky and/or Chilli?” And I’m just so curious about what made Chilli say that line like that but we’ll probably never know what happened.
So yeah that scene at the end when the music was playing and Bandit ripped the sign out of the ground and Chilli tackled him to the ground ABSOLUTELY CHANGED my brain chemistry y’all. I can’t articulate my feelings any more than that.
I know some people were upset that Brandy ended up getting pregnant but I thought it was great for her! I’m happy for her! And I think that even though she got what she wanted in the end doesn’t negate the feelings she had about her infertility earlier. But I think we’re all wondering who the father is and I don’t know if the show really needs to answer that.
The whole message of “we’ll see” in terms of if something is good or bad is such a mature message that I never really thought of like that so I will be taking that philosophy forward in life. Congratulations Bluey, you managed to teach a 22-year-old childless person something new and insightful about life that I don’t think I’ve learned from another show.
I want to know more about what Bob was going through and feeling and why he went to India, but again, we’ll probably never know.
I just love how the wedding photos were beautiful but imperfect. Like of course we’re not perfect and nothing will ever be perfect but it’s beautiful and worth remembering anyway.
So many little jokes and moments were so funny in a mature way (I.e. “are we allowed to do that?” And Nana thinking there was about to be a baby announcement) were just so funny and memorable.
I think some people would say it’s a cop-out to end up not selling the house after building it up for 2 episodes but I don’t know, I think it works. I think Bluey and Bingo learned a valuable lesson and Bandit (and Chilli kinda) learned it’s not always about making their kids lives “perfect” in their eyes. Also I’m just personally glad they didn’t end up selling the house and I also kinda like that it wasn’t entirely their choice to keep it.
On a more serious note I think this episode has some interesting commentary on like gender roles and gender relations in straight relationships. In this episode Chilli and Frisky (both women) have to deal with their male significant others pressuring them to move with them far away from what they know and love. In the end they don’t end up moving and the men didn’t seem to have like malicious or selfish intent with it, they were just kinda basing their choices off their jobs instead of what’s best emotionally for their loved ones. But I think it’s interesting to have this conflict where gender is kinda brought up in a way (“because your husband is making you”). It kinda plays into the traditional idea of like men are the breadwinners and the family has to move with them regardless of what they actually want. And this episode kinda like deconstructs that and says “no, it’s not always about the job or money, it’s also sometimes about connections and emotional attachment.” And I’m not saying that you should never move or whatever, but really weigh your options. I just thought that it was interesting that this episode kinda touched on that.
So yeah that’s kinda the main thoughts I had on this episode if you made it this far thank you for reading my rambles and have a good one!

so there's only an hour left of 2023... i wanted to write something about the year and how it passed.
it doesnt come back to me as much as i would like it to, i spent it working and watching lectures, reading discussion posts, and trying- trying so hard to write, only to lose myself to comforting daydreams that didn't challenge me, just buffered the world and let it slip away from me.
still, an inconclusive list of things, however small, that i did and i'm proud of:
make new friends on tumblr despite being someone prone to keeping to themselves
finished two more semesters of grad school
earned all the credits i need to graduate (cant say i graduated yet boooo)
started my seven sentences event and fulfilled some prompts; maybe i havent finished answering all of them yet but im very proud of the ones i have done
grew some potatoes!!
saw a therapist for the very first time and worked on myself
crocheted a very special froggie friend and started some wips i love
went on my first roadtrip with a friend and had as best a time as i could make it despite it being rainy 24/7 and being ill
learned more and more about archiving at work!! i know things now!!!
and i persevered, even though it was hard and i was empty and hollow inside. maybe it's a placebo effect, but i think i have words again. i have feelings deep in my bones, i have stories on my tongue, and i have not told them all yet. i can persist on here and i will persist; no matter what, i'm here to stay.
my heart is full!! my heart is heavy!! but my heart is yours!! i love you, my friends and friends-to-be!! a song for my mutuals who make my world a delight and full of color!! an ode to the anons who slip into my inbox and make me long to hold their hands!! wishing everyone a happy happy new year 🥳🫶🏻🍾
youtube
i want to acknowledge the people who ive talked to or interacted with who have touched my life deeper than they could ever know. i dont think i listed everyone and im sure that i didnt. whether you're tagged or not, if you follow me and interact, i hold you dear to my heart. even if you're inactive, i will think about you. and if you have left, i still love you. 🩷
snoopy anon, raccoon anon, @ttyls @babyjakes @eulalielatibule @sweetdreamsbuck @levans44 @worksby-d @eloquentreverie @rodrikstark @intrepidacious @thornsnvultures @punemy-spotted @boxofbonesfic @scrumptious-delusion @dc418writes @angrythingstarlight @krirebr @giorno-plays-piano @venusstorm @biteofcherry @ronearoundblindly @starksbabie @ghotifishreads @buckymorelikefuckme @needleandhammer @onsunnyside @rubythecrimsonwriter and all my beloveds who have moved on. river, ren, wherever you are i hope you're doing well.

The sign has turned into one of my favorite bluey episodes ever so here’s some of my favorite parts! Spoilers ahead!
First off, Muffin helping socks in her carseat🥹 the way muffin was perfectly content allowing her to do it!
I love that they show muffin maturing, but not losing any of the feistiness that makes her herself.
Socks talking in full sentences and walking on two legs is enough to make me cry actually 🥹 (sorry socks is my favorite.)
Bluey comforting bingo about the move even though she wasn’t so sure about it herself!!!!
BRANDY BEING PREGNANT! I need to know more ASAP!
The double entendre with the title being The Sign. I just love that actually.
Grandpa bob going off to find himself in India
The fact that there was a chattermax cameo. Favorite part actually.

Hozier releasing a song with Brandi Carlile is too much for my gay lil brain to process. It's been over 24 hours and I'm still reeling.

I’ve just published my first itch.io jam submission! It’s also the first game I’ve written completely solo - usually I work with collaborators! We're chained, and when everything changes our love will stay the same
We're chained, and when everything else goes away, our love will still remain
The connections we make with others, and ourselves, follow us throughout our lives like ghosts. We are shaped by them whether we like it or not.
Love Will Still Remain is a game for 2-4 players about love, loss, change, and connection. It is inspired by Brandi Carlile's The Firewatcher's Daughter.
Participants play as a group of people who have encountered each other throughout the course of their lives. They find themselves all together once again after some time apart. Throughout the game, they reflect on their lives and especially their relationships with one another, good and bad, and trace the paths that have led them to the current day.
Created as part of the Record Collection Jam 2K23.

I really hope you’ll check it out!

I love leaking documents 🖤
This specifies rangers, but if you don't have a ranger union in your region or can't call them for some reason it's good advice, I think. Obviously always call the Rangers if you can.

do u have a favorite character out of all ur ocs? what abt favorite character based on appearances/looks? i'm just curious ! (my personal favorite character writing-wise is finn, looks wise it's stevie <3, but jada is a close 2nd! she's gorgeous)
omg i feel bad even trying to choose my favorite character, it's like choosing which of my pets is my favorite.. i don't love them more or less, i love them differently 😭 but the character with the story i'm most fond of has to be finn. i've put so much detail into his life, i could tell you exactly what he was doing at 3:03 pm on thursday october 11th 1979 (hiding behind the school with his friend steven, throwing pebbles at people they hate as they walk out the door and trying not to laugh so loud they get caught) and it feels like something that actually happened and i'm just peeking into another universe rather than just making stuff up on the fly. which is funny because there are countless versions of him coexisting in my mind and yet he feels like the character i have the most solid understanding of. but i wouldn't say FAVORITE because every character makes me feel a different way!! my favorite character is always the character i've most recently written for :')
as for looks, even though coco is having her moment on my blog lately i'm going with mikaela!! it's been way too long since i've reminded everyone here that i ♥ milfs fjskdjs and unlike with caroline or beth, i don't feel like i raised mikaela so i don't feel weird about finding her attractive (is it just me who feels this way? i can't thirst over any character who was at one time a minor in the story no matter how many years have passed because they'll always be a baby in my mind. i know they're just pixels and it doesn't matter, it's just a funny mental block i have). but in general i love how all my characters look and how it fits their personalities. i like that they just look like normal people (as normal as a sim can look anyway) and even the ones with the most put-together appearances (like elaine or coco) have moments where we see them without makeup. and i think i do a good job of ACTUALLY making it look like they have no makeup on, not like on tv shows where you can clearly see the actress is wearing a full face of "natural" makeup lmao. you can even tell that elaine wears concealer & mascara when she works out by comparing it to how she looks when she wakes up. it's the little details like that that make me love the visual format sims can offer! anyway that was a whole tangent but i have a lot of fun adjusting everyone's appearances over time / based on what's happening to them!

I really like brandy's design!! can u tell us a bit more about her backstory?
THANK U!! :') i accidentally wrote a huge ramble so i hid it under a readmore and added a tldr paragraph lol! gonna try not to feel too cringe for sharing all this bc shes from a silly little fantasy animal rp teehee. also if anything seems contradictory or lacking in context its bc theres a lot of nuance to the roleplay/dynamics that i had to leave out cuz i could talk forever
TLDR - basically she grew up a religious fanatic who was training to be a priestess of a warmongering god, and left home at too young of an age to carry out missionary work after she received a sign from him. being young, very sheltered, and always in search of attention and validation (she'd suffered through a lot of emotional neglect and outright hatred at various points in her life thus far), it wasn't long before she fell in with a bad, predatory crowd and an abusive boyfriend. this led to her completely cutting herself off from her family out of shame (and fear over abandoning her missionary work) and a long and still ongoing struggle with substance abuse, self worth issues, problems setting boundaries and understanding her sexuality, and self-destructive hedonism. the shitty hand she was dealt felt like a betrayal, considering it was all caused by her leaving to carry out religious duties, so she spurned her god and has been unlearning a lot of religious bullshit ever since. after being dumped by her boyfriend it took her a long time to reconnect with her family, because she spent a while spiraling in isolation with deeply unhealthy coping mechanisms as she navigated a fuckton of trauma with no help. since then, however, she was found by her aunt and finally brought home - though the home was new, as her family had been exiled from their community during her absence due to political conflict. reuniting with them has been the best thing for her; she was welcomed back with open arms and is slowly working through everything that's happened to her, but her recovery has had many ups and downs.
longer version
(content warning for themes of pedophilia and abuse beginning in paragraph 5)
despite being born elsewhere, early on she moved to and grew up in a deeply religious society that worships a bloodthirsty god - and she was all for it in her youth. like, very gung ho about becoming a priestess, cutting off her siblings who still lived in their birthplace, etc etc. her beloved grandmother was one of the rulers of this society and a voice of their god, so it meant everything to her.
this new life gave her the purpose, community, and companionship that she lacked in her birthplace, with no friends and a neglectful and emotionally distant immediate family, so as a lonely and vulnerable child she was caught hook, line, and sinker. she connected with extended family that actually made her feel wanted, she was favored by a god to the point of being granted powers, and she felt whole. i think isolating herself from her immediate family, who did not live here with her, gave her a sense of retribution as well.
buuut there was also a lot of developing political tension and a lot of vitriol toward her family - spearheaded by her grandmother's co-ruler, who had powerful sway. and in a brutal environment like her warmongering clan, this was a major and dangerous threat. so for all the joy brandy found in living here and worshipping her god, youthfully unaware of the conquest this necessitated, she grew more unhappy than she was able to identify. so when she one day manifested the ability to grow (and retract) a pair of wings, she interpreted this as a sign from the red god and jumped at the opportunity to leave her home and carry out missionary work in his name - perhaps out of a desperation to leave this place, although that was largely a subconscious motivation.
she was absolutely too young to be striking out on her own, probably around 15 at most (i was writing her on a feral forum rp so the aging was obv different which makes the conversion fucky so im still figuring that stuff out a bit lmao). but what the red god said, went, so no one questioned it - and she was naively eager and unafraid. she was his chosen. she was royalty. she was invincible.
NOT REALLY! she was more vulnerable than she ever could have realized, so desperate to prove her value to her clan (...and get as far away from those seeking to harm her as possible). desperate to be seen and loved without any judgment for her lineage. so it was all too easy for one of the first men she met beyond her land's borders to take advantage of her, and lead her astray from her goals - she was young, after all, and had very little world experience. finn was his name, and he introduced brandy to an entirely new world than anything she'd ever experienced, one of hedonistic vice. nothing a fifteen year old had any business engaging with, and certainly nothing a grown man had any business introducing a fifteen year old to. this new world, this new attention, was intoxicating to someone as sheltered and high strung as brandy - it wasn't long before she and finn began dating, and relatively soon after that her missionary work fell easily to the wayside.
their honeymoon phase felt amazing, like a dream to brandy, but red flags eventually began emerging that she didn't yet have the capacity to examine or act against. finn would always subtly shut down conversations about her home and family, and grew increasingly more controlling, overprotective, argumentative, and jealous over time. resentment did begin to fester within brandy, but she was easily guilt tripped or otherwise pressured out of it time and time again... until things came to a head in an explosive argument that ended with finn dumping brandy and kicking her out.
distraught, she spurned the god who'd led his devotee down this path and then let her suffer like this, and struck out on her own instead of returning home - the shame of dropping off the face of the earth and abandoning her family was too much to bear. what if they hated her for running away? for abandoning her mission? from there, she spiraled, finding relief in substance abuse and the bed of any stranger that would take her. it was the one area in which she enjoyed any sense of autonomy and control - although it reinforced the lesson she'd learned from finn and his friends that her body and sexuality were what gave her worth. with time her physical and mental health began to plummet, her sense of self weakening and her hedonistic escapism becoming the only thing keeping her afloat despite slowly sucking the spirit out of her. she missed her family desperately, and longed to be a child in their arms once more, but as time went on reaching out to them became less and less of a material possibility in her mind.
but by pure chance and far into the future, she one day stumbled into her aunt, arya, while out and about; though panic overtook brandy at the sudden reunion, arya was only ecstatic to see her again, which was an unbelievable relief. but it was a bittersweet reunion - brandy had missed a lot, including the assassination of her beloved grandmother and subsequent exile of her entire family from their community. the former broke her heart and flooded her with even more guilt about her abandonment. here she'd been gallavanting about, living solely for herself and running away from her responsibilities and family and obligations, while the loved ones she'd been trying so hard to forget were suffering.
it took a lot of reassurance and convincing to ease brandy's nerves about going home and reuniting with everyone else, but ultimately she gave in – and it was one of the best decisions she ever made. everyone welcomed her back with open arms, having assumed she'd died and ecstatic to be proven wrong. she moved in with her living grandmother and began rekindling the relationships she'd lost and missed out on for so much of her life, and though recovery has been a massively uphill battle she's doing what she can with her newfound support system.
aaaand that concludes everything i properly rped before the site i wrote on crashed and burned ✌🏼

I understand that you want people to click on the video you worked on, and a eye catching thumbnail helps that, but can we please stop depicting cases of actual abuse like some cartoon network creepy pasta
Tumblr media
Reducing the real abuse Shelby went through to a stupid vampire edit is so disrespectful
Tumblr media
When I see a video thumbnailed like this, even if the video itself is made with good intentions, it does make you wonder if the cc actually feels empathy towards the situation or just wants to talk about whats trending. I mean the red string like Shelbys trauma is a fun mystery to solve is tone depth at best
