My thoughts during “The Sign” [SPOILERS!!!!!]

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!

I just dreamt up another idea last night. (For some reason most of my best ideas come to me in dreams. The initial idea for “It’s Over When It’s Over” came to me in a dream. Of course I had to do some revisions because of dream logic but still.) But it’s an original idea. (Well, not exactly original as it does take inspiration from a lot of things like “Pleasantville” and “The Amazing Digital Circus” but I meant original as in “not fanfiction”.) I really want to do something with it, as I think it’s actually really good and it’s a story I want to tell. It’s been one of my dreams to write and publish a novel someday, but I didn’t have an original idea for a whole book. This could easily be it. But I definitely don’t have the time right now to write a whole novel. Not while I’m doing school and work. That’ll be over soon but then I’ll have to look for a full time job, and I’m still worried about if I can handle working full time as I haven’t really had a full time workload since grade school. Not to mention all the fanfics that I’m still in the middle of working on as well as my other creative projects. And would I even be able to write a book? “It’s Over When It’s Over” took me over a year to finish and that’s only 36k words, books are longer than that. But on the other hand I have sat on ideas for years before (the bendy/Cuphead birthday crossover fic was originally meant to be written for the 6th bendy-versery, not the 7th, which is what happened.) and like I said, I’ve always wanted to write a novel and this does seem like a good story. (To me anyway.) Maybe someday, when I’m not so busy, I’ll go for it. Who knows what’ll happen?

can the tawog Fandom talk about how post void rob is. very much body horror. Like. I will not go into my ramble about why I think rob very much would have trauma from the void. But god. genuinely I think having your entire body reformed, at 13, would definitely mess someone up. and no one really talks about how fucked up post void robs existence is I think. I'm still a believer in that having robs design go back to purely pre void rob is. Not something I like. (I will not go into the essay about why the static is like scars to me I will not-) but God. Post void rob existing is??? sorry I'm going through the brainrot rounds. It will happen again.

Fictional Universes play by different rules than real life, and not all fictional universes play by the SAME rules.

IRL, hitting someone without their consent is assault. No, ifs, ands, or buts about it.

In fiction, sometimes it is assault. Other times, it is slapstick comedy and not meant to be taken seriously between the characters.

Unless you can acknowledge this, I don't think you can have a productive conversation about if a ship is toxic or not in the context of its own universe.

#That's one of the reasons why I'm totally ok shipping Rob/Gumball #Tawog is funny slapstick cartoon it shouldn't be taken too seriously #plus Gumball is clearly into it based on his reaction in “The Ex” #Bro is so happy when his nemesis tries to destroy him

Still in awe of how well the D&D movie mimicked the feeling of D&D without doing anything as tediously literal as a "sitting around the table" framing device. The way some characters have names that sound like names a DM improvised on the spot, the sudden appearance and disappearance of a overpowered DM NPC for a single dungeon, the way they used the fact that characters can plausibly just mess up for no clear reason to escalate action scenes...that was cinema

tumblr is wild because you’ll see a post that’s vagueing about another popular post and go like huh yeah you’re right. but then you finally see the post that post was talking about and it’s just literally not what the person talking about it claimed it was
