some kids from a show that defined my childhood

Could a LazyTown Revival Work?

Earlier this week, it was announced that Magnus Scheving, the creator of the hit preschool live-action series LazyTown, had bought back the rights to the series from WBD, with impending plans to bring the series back to a new generation as a reboot under his wings.

This would not be the first time LazyTown has, or attempted to be, revived. The original series only lasted two seasons before being commissioned by Sprout for two more after the series' massive success in the USA. After the end of the show's run, a movie was pitched, but ultimately ended up being scraped for unknown reasons.

In concept, this seems like a great thing. LazyTown was initially created as a combative show against rising cases of childhood obesity worldwide, and the Icelandic obesity rate actually dropped as after the release of the show. LazyTown encourages kids to be healthy- to get outside, eat nutritiously, and take care of themselves and others. With the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic still impacting today's children, bringing this show back to a new audience would be great.

And, LazyTown wouldn't be completely unknown to the public, either. According to a Collider article, LazyTown's following hasn't died down in the slightest, with the show amassing over 5.5 billion views on Youtube alone. It is clear that Sportacus, Stephanie, and Robbie Rotten are long from being forgotten totally.

However, not everything about a reboot would be too exciting.

For instance, there would be no Robbie Rotten. Stefan Karl Stefansson, Robbie's actor, passed in August of 2018 after a battle with bile duct cancer. While Robbie's actor could easily be replaced or his character in general be swapped out for a new gimmick, nothing would be completely able to mimic the personality of the iconic villain.

Also, if the show did come back, there's a high chance that it wouldn't be in the same form that we all know and love. Shows such as Caillou and Barney have also made their triumphant returns, albeit in the same CGI models, straying far away from their original forms, 2D and live-action respectively. Animation, specifically 3D, is more efficient to produce them mixed media or live action, and with more children flocking to brightly-colored, YouTube based animation, making LazyTown an animated series would not only result in flexibility in choosing actors for the characters, but also boost ratings more likely than not.

This isn't to say that live-action reboots, such as Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, and the upcoming Yo Gabba Gabbaland can't be successful- it's just not necessarily in the norm.

Now that Magnus has the rights to the show back, the question also arises on which channel this reboot, if produced, would air on. LazyTown did air on Nick Jr. at one point, and also made appearances on the now-defunct Sprout. Chances are since they willingly gave up the rights to this show, WBD channels probably will not be airing it, assuming it goes mainstream and doesn't become a Youtube-exclusive.

If done correctly, I think this reboot could be very successful! After all, it has happened once, so why not again. But, it goes without saying that it certainly wouldn't be the same for what we are used to from the franchise.

♫ Woodkid - Land Of All ♫ .

It was a sort of happiness Robbie couldn't say he'd ever seen on Sportacus's face. No moment of them knowing each other had ever been close to it.

The elf beamed with an open smile that conveyed raw, unadulterated joy. His laughter rang in the fae’s ears, spilling out the primal cheer that bubbled in Sportacus's chest. The call of nature was stronger than ever before, now outside of Lazytown, and far along the trailing forest path.

Out here, there were only evergreens outlining the horizon, opening the very center to wild and undisturbed meadows. The fields stretched as far as the eye could see, leading to knolls, trees, and rolling hills that glazed into the mountains with a mirage-like haze.

Every patch of grass glimmered in a tapestry of near perfect ochre, contrasting the flowers and mushrooms that sprouted around their current stretch of land.

Sportacus frolicked about as his laughter only intensified, twirling in circles as locks of dirty blonde hair flowed gracefully with each movement. The fae almost wondered if his dancing was the cause of the distant flock of birds now flying far above them.

Though bombarded with the elf's annoyingly energetic antics, Robbie couldn't help the grin on his face. His companion’s radiance was nothing short of contagious, feeling himself thankful for the familiarity of the outdoors.

The setting sun caught on his ombré wings; the deep crevices shimmering an iridescence of pinks and vivid gold as they fluttered gently. Like solder lining stained glass, each vein and intricate detail was highlighted in full effect. It wasn't often he had a chance to free his wings and soak up every ray of sunlight.

At that moment, he decided to take it all in, and just experience.

To feel the warmth, and the breezes of mother nature kissing his cheeks, or the heavy footfalls beneath his soles of fervent leaping.

He continued to carry the picnic basket around his arm, and the folded Gingham blanket at his side, breathing out in content.

Today was a good day. ..

(I swear this did not want to be finished; the wings and background were the bane of my existence ;w; fml)

Cry Dinosaur (prod 115)

Original airdate: October 25, 2004

Story by Magnus Scheving

Written by Noah Zachary, Cole Louie, Magnus Scheving

Directed by Raymond P. Le Gue, Magnus Scheving

Executive producers - Magnus Scheving, Ragnheidur Melsted, Raymond P. Le Gue, Mark Read, Brown Johnson, Kay Wilson Stallings

Starring Magnus Scheving, Stefan Karl Steffanson, Julianna Rose Mauriello

Puppeteers - Ronald Binion, Gudmondor Thor Karason, Jodi Eichelberger, David Matthew Feldman, Julie Westwood, Sarah Burgess

Cry Dinosaur - This episode used to dissapoint me and I really used to hate it. A lot. And I don't know why.. I really REALLY do not. So, considering it's been two years since I watched the full episode and not that crappy PBS Kids Sprout cut, so maybe I'll revisit it today.

The episode begins with Sportacus challenging himself to step or touch all the buttons on the floor of his airship in a small amount of time. He manages to do so in 18 seconds. AWESOME!!

It's a sunny day in LazyTown, so Sportacus decides to open his door and look outside. However, someone has drawn a dinosaur face on a balloon and it freaks Sportacus out. A superhero who has risked his life a number of times and literally lives in the sky is afraid of something that expired millions of years ago??

Anyways, Stingy, Stephanie and Ziggy are messing around in a tent trying to decide where to move it. Sportacus jumps from the door of his airship. He's afraid of an extinct creature but not jumping thousands of feet in the air? Anyways, Sportacus shows Ziggy the balloon and he runs away until Sportacus tells him he brought it back.

Meanwhile, Robbie is peeking in his lair and he is even more freaked out then Ziggy. His heart is beating - LITERALLY! While Ziggy is thanking Sportacus he loses hold of the balloon and it goes back in the air.. ready to pop in a few seconds. Stephanie tells Sportacus they're having a campout and that they're going to

-stay up all night

-tell ghost stories

-eat hotdogs

-tell ghost stories

-sleep on sleeping bags

-m m m m h h h n n g

-and tell ghost stories.

Sportacus can tell Ziggy is afraid of the dark, so he tells him that everyone is scared of something. Ziggy asks if Sportacus is, and he says no. One of the most hilarious things I have ever heard a character from a show targeted at six year olds say is 'no'. Then Ziggy proceeds to ask him if he is afraid of a bunch of scary creatures and common phobias, then Sportacus reveals he is afraid of dinos. Robbie is eavesdropping, and...well, you can guess what happens next, right?

So, he puts on his dinosaur head and tries to walk around his lair, but he keeps bumping into stuff. He takes it off and thus concludes that the reason dinosaurs are extinct are because they keep bumping into things. Props to Robbie for actually knowing dinos are extinct.

Anyways, it's night time in the town and the kids are in the tent. It's time to get to bed but Ziggy wants to stay up and eat candy. The kids finally convince him that they are safe in the dark, but then they completely ruin it by singing 'The Spooky Song', a pretty nice song, but it's just mean.

Anyways, Robbie is roaming LazyTown in the Cry Dinosaur costume, and Ziggy sees the shadows of the costume. Sportacus has come to save them from the dinosaur, and he puts his hand in the tent and takes the kids out.

The 'dinosaur' is behind them and Stephanie hits it with her pillow. Except it wasn't a dinosaur. Or Robbie. It was the mayor. Stephanie's uncle, who was coming to offer the kids some licorice. This show is so.. so.. so.. coincidental??

So they decide to keep on camping out.. inside. The house. Ziggy is STILL too scared of the dark, so he decides to put on the lights, but the two are pretty annoyed. So he turns it off. Friendship goals, am I right?

But Stephanie decides to turn on her lamp. What a kind person! So they finally go to bed, but Robbie is still in his disguise, and he steps on a skateboard then falls over a wall. Ziggy hears the sound, but the kids ignore it. Now, come on, even I am not scared of creatures in the dark, but if I heard a loud noise I'd check it out too.

He sees Robbie trip over the wall (AGAIN, LOL) and starts freaking out. Stephanie checks it out but she doesn't see it, so Stingy and Stephanie go out to prove it once and for all. The two split up and Stingy's kinda freaked out but won't prove it. Then Robbie pops up outside the window of Milford's house.

Then he walks in the room while Ziggy's all alone and Ziggy starts shaking the tent in fear. I'd do the same too, who revived those huge monsters? So anyways, Robbie goes in the hallway, Stephanie and Stingy come back, Ziggy says the dinosaur is in the hallway, Stephanie says 'there is no' and then she opens the door and yells 'DINOSAUR!!!!111!!11!!!!1!!!' in classic comic cartoon form.

Stingy dives into the tent (literally, I think someone just threw his puppet in the tent! LOL!) and Stephanie hides under her bed and throws the blanket on his head. The next three minutes of the episode are just the kids yelling and running away from the dinosaur until Ziggy grabs its legs and the dino head flys off Robbie's head. The dino head goes flying onto Stingy's head and he completely freaks out. LOL!!

Stingy is asking Stephanie for help but she is running away from him. She climbs a ladder but Stingy bumps into it and Stephanie nearly falls off (serves her right for not helping Stingy) until Sportacus wraps a rope around the ladder and brings her to safety.

Then they sing the Bing Bang song. Robbie still has his dino head on and he's trying to watch TV and drink soda, but he can't get the costume off. Thus marks the end of the episode.

Definitely better then the last time I watched it.

Random poll to distract me from the lack of Side Order news (this poll isn't related to Splatoon)

Okay 2000s-2010s kids...

(just an added rule if you choose the final option in this poll; the show must be from PBS Kids, Disney Junior/Playhouse Disney, or the late Sprout channel that now goes by Universal Kids and is a trainwreck)

[firstgradeof2009]

Hey, I have a question?

Does anyone know what this show was? It was a show on Sprout, and when I saw this I recognized it and I know I’ve seen it but I don’t remember what it was called or anything. I know there was something about music in it??

Does anyone else recognize it?

Concept

Lazytown where the human characters are now puppets and puppets are now humans.

This ask was in my inbox for ages, i think it started sprouting and developed roots by now

I honestly wasn't sure what you were expecting of me when you sent this but today i finally had an idea

It's less Lazytown as we know it and more just the concept of Lazytown i would prefer to focus on if i got to write a story with that basis in mind

Bc i think they decided to make some characters puppets and others not for the simple reason that puplets don't age and change appearance but they had too limited movement to be satisfyingly used for Sportacus, Stephanie and Robbie and for one off characters it wasn't worth making whole new puppets from scratch.

So. With that in mind, i figured the best justification for this kind of switch in a theoretical reboot would be to drive home the magical part of the show that got severely downplayed imo.

Most people in lazytown are now ordinary humans but with very very flashy outfits, as we are used to from the musicals. The three puppet characters are different to easily visualize to the audience that they're not human, they're all feary creatures now.

Robbie's design could be similar to the design in the show as he was already altered a little to fit the vision. But on his puppet you can clearly see the stitch lines and part of his disguises is now his body actually changing to suit it better to drive home that he is actually kind of shape shifting, not just changing clothes.

Stephanie looks like the puppets we know from the show, she's supposed to look human. A relative you never met before suddenly living with you, turning your whole life upside down? She's a changling, but i think she doesn't know, or forgot, or doesn't want to be? Maybe she got kicked out of her previous family but couldn't accept it so even though she's not a baby anymore she just follows her nature to find herself a new home and bc Milford really wants a family she lives with him now.

Sportacus, now once again living in an elf village not too far from lazytown one day overhears Stephanie playing in the forest and immediately recognizes her as a feary creature but bc she seems to not fully be aware of that and Robbie keeps bothering the people in lazytown too he decides to visit regularly.

Admittedly idk how his puppet would be designed but also clearly not human.

Bit i know that it could be a lot of fun to sometimes, whenever Sporto and Steph have particularly magical moments their puppets would change a little into the more unhuman looking way, just to show it's magical

Man i really hope that's something enjoyable for you

I honestly just typed this out in one go as it came to me so it's probably very incoherent and confusing

Caption translation:

“Actor Stefán Karl Stefánsson, better known as Robbie Rotten in Lazytown decided to try something different than the drama and began shortly before breeding on a so-called green sprout. It is said to be healthy and, is for example, used in salads, soups and is popular as a food decoration in restaurants. He sells his harvest to nearly 20 restaurants in the capital and not before. We look at Stefán Karl in the days and show him the interview in Kastljós tonight at. 19:35.”

LazyTown Ship Week #1

Oops I’m late! Oh well. Here’s Day #1: Plants/Gardening. Alternate prompt: The start of something wonderful :P

--------------------------------------------------------

The soon-to-be class garden was coming along well. Though not yet in the designated garden space waiting outside, the children had been caring for their little seedlings dutifully every day. They checked on them in the morning when they arrived to school and once again before heading home at the end of the day. One little boy, Íþrótta, was particularly excited about the project. He doted on his sprouts as though they were his children, and he took incredible joy in seeing their slow but sure progress every day.

“It’s like he uses magic on ‘em or somethin’,” one of the other children grumbled under his breath as he gathered up his things to go home.

The boy, Glanni, was probably the only student in the class who did not care for their gardening project. The entire thing felt like just too much work for, in his mind, a worthless payoff. Glanni had only been doing the bare minimum to try and keep his plants alive just so the teacher wouldn’t scold him. Which was why, watching the other boy tend to his seedlings day after day, Glanni just couldn’t understand why Íþrótta was so engaged in taking care of the stupid things. They were just dumb plants.

Even so, Glanni couldn’t deny the attention that Íþrótta’s sprouts seemed to generate. Their classmates marveled at his work and asked for tips, and the teacher praised the child’s green thumb. No one ever complimented anything Glanni did. Usually he just got in trouble or, worse, was left forgotten and ignored altogether. It wasn’t fair. Just because Íþrótta was a plant-obsessed weirdo didn’t mean he deserved all the attention.

He watched as his classmate finally turned away from his precious little seedlings to grab his backpack to head home. Glanni glared a hole into the back of the blond’s head as Íþrótta skipped out the door to greet whatever parental figure was probably waiting for him.

Glanni stuck his tongue out after his classmate before taking a quick glance around the room to make sure the teacher was busy helping someone else get ready to leave. He reached into his backpack, fishing around for a moment before slyly pulling out the small bottle of contraband soda. Careful to keep it out of view, Glanni crept over to the row of little boxes basking in the sunlight by the window.

“See if stupid Íþrótta has such a green thumb if his plants drink this,” he hissed quietly, tipping the bottle and letting the sugary drink sink into the soil.

The sound of his teacher’s voice out in the hallway made him pull back quickly, a few drops of soda sprinkling over the shelf before he quickly recapped the bottle and stowed it away and out of sight. With a confident smirk. Glanni slung his bag over his shoulder and scampered out of the room.

*****

The next morning, Glanni walked in to find a small cluster of his classmates huddled by the temporary garden. He smiled to himself, strolling over to reap the rewards of yesterday’s mischief. He gleefully imagined what Íþrótta’s face would look like upon seeing his sprouts…shock, awe, anger, disbelief. Any of them would have been hilarious to see. What he had not expected to find, though, was Íþrótta’s look of utter devastation.

The little blond boy stared at the shriveled, wilted plants with wet eyes, his chin quivering as he held out his hands toward the discolored seedlings as though he was trying to figure out some way to help them. A soft whimper escaped the child’s throat as he stood there, oblivious to the small crowd that had grown around him.

Glanni scratched the back of his neck, suddenly not feeling near as excited as he had moments ago. He heard the teacher approach and offer soft words of condolences, but they just seemed to make things worse. The dark-haired back cringed as Íþrótta began to sniffle, new tears sliding down the already-present tracks on his cheeks. Glanni chewed the inside of his cheek and sluggishly obeyed their teacher’s instruction for everyone to return to their seats. Íþrótta didn’t, and Glanni couldn’t help but stare as the teacher ushered him toward the classroom door and out into the hallway.

He spared the dead seedlings another glance, the tiny things no longer green and vibrant, but mere darkened husks sticking out of the dirt. He had done that. Glanni had hoped to teach Íþrótta a lesson, but for what? He had only wanted to knock down the boy’s pride down a bit, right? He hadn’t meant to…to destroy him. Just because he wanted to cause a little bit of mischief didn’t mean he had wanted to hurt anyone, even a goodie two-shoes like Íþrótta.

Glanni looked up when the other boy came back into the room. Íþrótta’s eyes were red and puffy, and the usual pep in his step—usually his most defining trait—was completely gone. Glanni watched him slide into his seat and stare at his desk as their teacher began her lessons for the day, but he didn’t hear a word. He was pretty sure Íþrótta wasn’t listening either.

Although Glanni rarely paid much attention in class, today was different. He had really screwed up and needed to fix it. With another glance over at the seedlings by the window, he started to come up with a plan to do just that. It wasn’t a very good one, but he felt so rotten after seeing how much he had hurt the other boy, Glanni knew that he had to try.

Recess somehow managed to take even longer than usual to arrive that day, which was definitely saying something as far as Glanni was concerned. He normally stayed behind, never one to be too keen on running around the playground to get messy and made fun of for being bad at sports, so when Glanni hung back while all the other children made a mad dash for the door, his teacher thought nothing of it.

He grabbed Íþrótta’s box of sad, wilted plants, tucked it under his arm, and hurried toward the back of the room, swiping a second box from the sill along the way. He set up shop out of sight in the corner, determined to make this work whether or not his teacher decided to come back inside before recess was finished or not. Glanni dug out the seedlings he had destroyed, tossing them and much of the contaminated soil in the nearby garbage can. He then, carefully, selected and transplanted the best-looking plants from the second box into the first. In direct competition of how he had always treated his project plants before today, Glanni picked up each of the little sprouts with the utmost care, determined not to damage a single root or leaf at any time during the process.

He worked quickly, and the scruffy-haired child finished just in time. No sooner had he set the boxes back in their places and tucked a slip of paper next to Íþrótta’s partially restored crop than the first of the children began to file back into the room. He hurried to his chair and sprawled across his desk in an attempt to look like he may have been taking a nap in lieu of going out to play with everyone else. Íþrótta soon followed the rest of their classmates, looking as dejected as he had that morning. Glanni held his breath as he watched the other boy’s movements, biting his lip when Íþrótta came to a stand-still upon seeing the line of plants by the window. Glanni buried his face into his arms to hide his smile as he watched an amazed, toothy grin spread over the other little boy’s face. He looked away, forcing himself to ignore Íþrótta from that point on. He didn’t dare give himself away.

The rest of the day was a bore, and Glanni spent most of the time doodling in his notebook instead of paying attention to their lessons. The end of the day eventually came and, like clockwork, Íþrótta went over to tend to his plants. His new plants. Glanni tried to ignore the boy as best he could, though he did end up sneaking a few quick glances out of the corner of his eye as he gathered up his things.

“Glanni?”

The child jumped, yelping at the sound of a suddenly too-close Íþrótta who had walked up behind him. He spun around with wide eyes.

“What?” he demanded a bit sharply, if only from momentary panic.

Íþrótta took a step back to give his classmate some space. He swallowed, wringing something in his hands a moment before speaking up again. “I…wanted to say thank you.”

The mischief-maker frowned. “F-for what?”

The blond boy offered a soft smile and held out the small note to his peer. Glanni didn’t need to look at it to know what it said, written in messy, angular handwriting. Sorry I killed your plants.

“For giving me some of your plants.”

Glanni’s heart dropped into his stomach, and his face paled to reflect it. Íþrótta just stood there with that same, warm expression.

“I didn’t—I mean! Uh��” The child’s mind scrambled to try and come up with a believable deflection. “What are you talking about?”

Íþrótta gave a brief look back toward all of the little boxes at the window. “Yours is the only box that’s missing anything.”

Glanni let out a small squeak, eyes immediately widening at his obvious oversight.

“You didn’t have to do that,” Íþrótta continued. “I…don’t know why you did it in the first place, but…thanks for sharing your plants with me.”

The trouble-maker shrugged and looked away, unsure how to react to his classmate’s attitude. This was supposed to be where Glanni got yelled out, ratted out, maybe even hit. Instead, Íþrótta just seemed…happy.

“You…wanna be friends?”

Frowning again, Glanni looked back to Íþrótta, completely puzzled. “What?”

“Do you want to be friends?” Íþrótta repeated. “I know you get in trouble a lot, but…that doesn’t mean we can’t be friends together. Right?”

Glanni stared at the strange, blond boy. Friends? Glanni had never had a friend before. A friend might be…nice. Though he knew he shouldn’t, the little boy found himself nodding. The smile that spread across Íþrótta’s face made a strange warmth bloom in his chest and, despite himself, Glanni couldn’t help but find himself also smiling at the prospect.

“…Okay.”

Íþrótta laughed, jumping and happily spinning at the news, his usual energy back to normal. “Great! Friends, then!”

Íþrótta held out his hand and Glanni found himself taking it, getting up from his desk.

“S-sorry my plants are kind of stinky…I didn’t take very good care of them.”

“That’s okay!” his new friend assured him. “We can take care of them together so they can grow and they’ll get better in no time!”

Glanni smiled. Yeah…better in no time. Maybe gardening was worth something after all.

Robbie Rotten's Greatest Misses (prod 133)

Original airdate: February 7, 2006

Story by Magnus Scheving

Written by Noah Zachary, Cole Louie, Magnus Scheving

Directed by Magnus Scheving, Jonathan Judge

Executive producers - Magnus Scheving, Ragnheidur Melsted, Raymond P. Le Gue, Mark Read, Brown Johnson, Kay Wilson Stallings

Starring Magnus Scheving, Stefan Karl Steffanson, Julianna Rose Mauriello

Puppeteers - Gudmondor Thor Karason, Jodi Eichelberger, David Matthew Feldman, Julie Westwood, Sarah Burgess

Will this episode hit or miss? Well, it IS called Robbie's Greatest Misses, but.. uhhh.. you get me, right?

Episode beginning: Kinda recycled. This time it's Sportacus purposefully dropping a stopwatch out his airship, trying to catch it on the sky chaser, and what do you know, he gets it.

All in 29.9 seconds. Robbie is in his lair eating a fat creamy slice of cake that I've always wanted until I found out it was shaved cream for the frosting. He decides to check what the LazyTowners are doing, and Ziggy warns Milford not to step on a skateboard.

He was just being a moron and says 'GOTCHA!!' Anyways, Milford has a trophy in his hands and Ziggy asks who it's being awarded to. He says that he cannot tell anybody, and then he tells Ziggy ('I can't tell you that it's Sportacus). Lolwut. Robbie takes a much more different approach to this, throwing away his cake.

Food waster. Ziggy points out he wins every year, and Robbie wants to put an end to this by making sure someone classy wins. Then he burps. It turns out that burp was too.. well.. I don't know, but PBS Kids Sprout didn't like it. So here is the next part [kinda boring] summed up: Robbie hide in mailbox, Milford tells everyone Sportacus won except Sportacus.

Then Robbie figures out the big epic secret as to why Sportacus always wins - because he saves people all the time. GASP! Meanwhile, Ziggy is continuing his moron adventure, telling the kids there's a monkey playing the trumpets outside.

Then he says GOTCHA when they realize he is a big fat chubby liar. They tell him fibbing is bad and he doesn't care. So, back to the lair, Robbie performs Master of Disguise. At the end of the song, he still doesn't know how to catch Sportacus. And he plays a few VHS tapes of his greatest misses, which makes no sense. How'd he have them? Is SOMEONE in the town always filming him?

So, Ziggy is still at it, being a MASSIVE moron, and lying about a spider on Trixie's shoulder. She waves it around, falling to the ground. That rhymed! Anyways, he gets kinda sad when they don't laugh. Back to Robbie's lair, he says they were all good plans and they should've worked. Then he gets the actual GENIUS idea to use ALL of his schemes at once. It's plans like these that should've worked.

But it doesn't end there - he comes up with the disguise of a cow. What. Then Ziggy spots him using the soccer ball launcher. So he goes to snitch to his friends and not a fricking trusted guardian, but they obviously do not believe him. So he does a big angry 'you-no-trust-i-save-town-alone' speech in an attempt for them to believe him, and what does it do?

It makes them believe him even less. So he tries again after he sees the cow (Robbie, but is there really any difference..?) hiding into a mailbox but Stephanie keeps on saying telling fibs is bad, so then they check it out AND THEY SEE

absolutely nothing. I love this show, but the amount of coincidences is ridiculous, even for Nickelodeon. Then the two go back to Pixel's house. Ziggy tries some more, but he gives up. THEN Robbie comes out and Ziggy hides behind a tree.

He confronts the cow and tells him how much trouble he is causing. Then he ties up Ziggy. Sportacus' crystal beeps and he comes to town on the Sky Chaser. Meanwhile, the kids go to check on Ziggy, and Robbie climbs up on a wall, starting to launch flying soccer balls at Sportacus.

As if that wasn't enough, he tries to MURDER him by launching a cannonball out the cannon. Luckily, Sportacus grabs onto a tree branch, turns around it (dodging the cannon) and flipping off the branch.

He activates the Candy Maker, but that's just a chance for Sportacus to practice some tennis hits. Then he unleashes the pirate ship - but Sportacus has seen Rush Hour 2 - so he lies down.

LOL. So, then when the anchor comes, he jumps over it. Probably the easiest thing to do. So Robbie starts controlling a bulldozer (he says 'Not another one!', which is kinda just wasting time). Instead of just running out the way, he has to flip into the driver's seat and stop it. Anyways, the pirate ship goes against the master and comes charging at Robbie. But Sportacus must save him!

Using a skateboard. He lies down on his skateboard, skates (pushes with his back) over to Ziggy for an apple. So Ziggy kicks the tree and the apple drops in Sportacus' hands and he bites it. The anchor of the ship grabs onto the wall, making it wiggle, and Robbie fall. So, instead of going somewhere else, he stays there as the wall falls on him. Sportacus skates under the wall.

And everyone is super sad because they think he's.. unalived. (Steph unties Ziggy.) Until he LITERALLY CARRIES UP THE ENTIRE WALL BY HIMSELF WITH THE HELP OF ONE APPLE BITE. I'd think he was dead too. He was under there for like 40 seconds before lifting up the wall.

While Robbie is shaking and quivering like a sissy. (I would too, to be honest.) And to think Robbie is some people's favourite character! Robbie's disguise is foiled, everyone makes up, Milford gives Sportacus the award and they sing Bing Bang.

Robbie just wants to forget it all with a piece of cake. But instead he has a LARGE sip of milk. How you 'accidentally' pick up something and sip it is unknown to me.

Oh, and if you think about it, Robbie has had a lot of milk before.. just in the form of cake! (Or, probably cake batter.) Then he adjusts his cow head. The end

6/10. I admit, that episode was pretty good! Although the unrealism with Sportacus is so just overkill, not even me, a super mega ultra Sportacus fan can really find them cool.

• Random Fact: There was once a guy named Samuel Downing was essentially kidnapped when he was around nine years old. The kidnapper lured him into an ‘apprenticeship’ making spinning wheels, promising a school education among other things in exchange for labor, but he never followed through, and there’s some evidence that the man’s wife might have been physically abusive to SamDown as well. This went on for many years. The kidnapper eventually began hosting war meetings in his office, and Samuel overheard that talk, including locations where one could go to enlist, so one day while the kidnapper (and his wife) were Out, Samuel snuck out, taking only the clothes he was wearing and a couple of coins with him, and went to the recruiting place but was turned away on account of being too young and too small. He explained his situation and what he was fleeing from, and after some more to-do, he was finally accepted and that’s how he came to fight in the American Revolution, eventually reuniting with his father, was present for several of the major events, allegedly saw an actual ghost at one point, and proceeded to live to be at least 103 years old and have his photo taken. He was duped numerous times in his life but always just rolled with it and also he kept bees and it’s said that as he got really old his hair started to turn from white to black. He celebrated his 100th birthday by chopping down a tree or something.

• Describe Yourself As Aesthetic Things: umm...soft pink and lavender and blue with a bit of silvery sparkle, an egg and a cabbage rolling down a hallway and suddenly the hallway is gone and there’s endless stairs down and down and down and neither of them know where they’re going exactly, Ben Tallmadge saying ‘Sir’, feline toebeans, books,

Thanksgiving Memories:

Waking up and watching the Macy’s Parade

Packing my toys and stuff into my backpack

The hour-long drive to grandma and grandpas

Kicking the chair in front of me

Staring out the window into what feels like The Void

Getting there. Way too many hugs.

Continuing to watch the parade.

Switching to Sprout when it’s over and watching things like The Chica Show or Lazytown

Randomly going into the kitchen to just. watch.

Chasing my sister through the house.

Hiding in that office room in the closet where there were cat toys and broken kid toys

Following the cats just to see where they’d go

Trying to copy the “cool things” on Lazytown. Crashing into the table or the chairs a few minutes later.

Trying to show everyone my newest story I made up and drew out on construction paper.

Rolling around in the chairs.

Wait no how did I get the chair to the living room help

Watching in the kitchen. Again.

Wanting to follow the cats to the basement but also it’s creepy down there so instead of following, just sitting and waiting.

Going between the dining room and the porch and not realizing that the weird black... Stuff was staining my socks until too late and my mom saw

Playing with the cat toys instead of the toys I actually brought

Randomly looking for that scratching post that I Know They Have But It Seems To Have Vanished Now

Stare out the window and wait for cars to pull up in the drive way

Scream loudly whenever someone shows up

Not wanting to do prayers before food because it’s boring

Not holding still the whole time and scooting the chair back and forth

Not being strong enough to pass things very well because the dishes were heavy but insisting on trying anyways

Complaining about having to eat green beans

Awkwardly sitting there because the adults are debating something I don’t understand but it’s Tense

Random argument over what The Best Type Of Pie Is. Insisting that it’s pumpkin pie.

Just sitting there during the time between dinner and dessert because I don’t wanna watch the boring news, but there’s not much else to do.

Going home by the time it’s dark.

Another hour-long car ride.

Trying to read in the car, even if it’s too dark.

Turning on the lights on the car-seat but even that’s not enough.

Stare into the void x2

Getting home and going straight to bed.
