𝗧𝗼𝗺 uploading a photo of himself and his dog 𝗕𝗹𝘂 (𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲) on this 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, awww 🐕💖😍!

(The dog like the owner, the only thing missing is the glasses 🤣

And this is going to sound like a joke, but I think it was yesterday when I thought, what if he ever used the glasses to take selfies? And today this one (the black-and-white photo) was uploaded... 𝗧𝗼𝗺 reads my mind 😝

Because those glasses are because something is wrong with his near vision, right? I don't want anything bad to happen to him 🥺

What a nice way to start 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 💐 Thanks for posting, 𝗧𝗼𝗺 🙏🏻💞

⠀⠀⠀⠀

𝗧𝗼𝗺 subiendo una foto de él y su perro 𝗕𝗹𝘂 (𝗕𝗹𝘂𝗲) en este 𝐃𝐢𝐚 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐚 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐝, ¡oooh 🐕💖😍!

(El perro como el dueño, solo le falta las gafas 🤣

Y esto va a sonar a cachondeo, pero, creo que fue ayer que pensé, ¿y si él usara alguna vez las gafas para hacerse selfies? Y hoy subió ésta (la foto en blanco y negro)... 𝗧𝗼𝗺 me lee la mente 😝

Porque esas gafas son porque le pasa algo con su visión de cerca, ¿verdad? No quiero que le pase nada malo 🥺

Qué bonita manera de empezar la 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚 💐 Gracias por publicar, 𝗧𝗼𝗺 🙏🏻💞

Happy Pride Month y'all.

Okay, so maybe I may have drawn this off some kind of LGBTQ headcanon I thought up and some inspiration in the mix. Not good with backgrounds as you can see here(more noticeable on the 2nd pic). Holy hell, it's been months since I last drew her. But yeah, that's basically all I have in stock rn.

CBeebies Bedtime Story

The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffers narrated by David Tennant

24-Nov-2023

[finnlongman]

Thank you, Sheffield! The Butterfly Assassin won the YA category at the 2023 Sheffield Children's Book Awards, which was an extremely grand event including an appearance from the city's mayor. The awards were presented by Joanna, a CBeebies presenter -- probably the only time I will ever share a stage with a CBeebies presenter, given the absolute lack of overlap in our target audiences 😅

I love events like this which are run by libraries and voted for by real teenagers and kids -- it's so great to have that validation from my actual readers, and to know that I'm writing books that speak to them.

Congratulations to all the other category winners and to the overall winner, Ruffles and the New Green Thing by David Melling, one of the books in the Toddler Books category.

[loublu8]

can you just ramble? ramble for as long as you want. as a fellow late 00s brit who's into some of the same interests as you (specifically vida the vet, charlie and lola, me too, balamory, abadas, and literally just any other cbeebies show i grew up with) i'd love to hear it!

if it's a ramble you want, a ramble you shall get. In other words here's like, my complete history with CBeebies. As a 08' kid, I was born in a weird transitional period for the channel. This was one year after they introduced the now iconic blocks of Get Set Go, Discover and Do and Big Fun Time, and Chris and Pui were going to move on from pres in 09' to work on Show Me Show Me. Postman Pat was just fresh from it's big SDS overhaul, which people either loved or hated (I think I liked it as a kid but looking back on it, it's nothing to get worked up over IMO, I just don't get why Pat can do James Bond-esque stunts now and is perfectly content riding a motorcycle.). Oh, and there was this little show about a garden of the night that began the year prior, I doubt that you've heard of it. Yeah, In the Night Garden was probably the first major CBeebies show I remember getting obsessed with, and looking back at it? I honestly don't know why. It's not a bad show at all, don't get me wrong, but I don't know why I was so obsessed over it to the point of having this dancing Igglepiggle toy as a kid.

Also, I remember loving the Hahoos as a young'un, part because a CBeebies magazine I got ages ago had little Hahoo toys. I took them on holiday to Turkey with me, yeah can you tell I'm autistic? I don't think I have them anymore, and if I do they're probably all scuffed up and missing paint. But that's okay, I can easily buy them on eBay to fill a place in 2 year old me's hear- HOW MUCH FOR 5 SMALL PIECES OF PLASTIC?

Yeah I didn't know these things were going for this much until my mum saw someone on Facebook ranting on how stupid expensive they are nowadays about a year ago. Anyways, on the topic of CBeebies' Bedtime Hour (and A Quarter nowadays), there's one elephant in the room I must discuss, the closedown screen.

This slightly green thing telling you to get some sleep absolutely terrified me as a kid though, it wasn't on the same level as the Eastenders theme's doofs and Christmas crackers if I remember correctly, but it still gave me PTSD for years on end. (Hey, at least I wasn't around for when the channel started, I really wanna meet whoever thought it was a great idea to make this screen bright blinding pink right after the goodnight song settled everyone down, just so I can tell them how dumb that idea was.)

Like all things I was spooked of as a kid, I got over it when I was getting nostalgic for the brand. Speaking of closedown screens, how is the closedown screen for the 2023 rebrand really good? Like, it would make a great screensaver without the text. You can say what you want about the new logo (which I think is fine, it fits in with the rest of the modern BBC branding so it succeeds in that aspect), but you gotta admit they did a really good job with revamping the idents for the channel.

Anyways, onto more of my favourite CBeebies shows. Charlie and Lola is easily up there as one of my favourites. It'sMy mum distinctly recalls taking me to the live stage show (which, live stage shows are a whole other can of worms I can talk about), and I couldn't remember much about it so I researched it, and it looks like they did a ridiculously good job of translating the show to a stage play while keeping the show's unique artstyle.

Balamory, obviously as a CBeebies viewer prior to 2016, I know what a Balamory is. I don't need to explain it. Though one weird memory I have is I remember going past the local barbers one day and seeing a Balamory rerun airing. I dunno why they showed CBeebies in the barbers of all places. On the other hand, Me Too!, which to me always felt like Balamory, but a wee bit worse (because that's exactly what it was!), and I don't remember my exact feelings towards it as a kid, but as a teenager, I became obsessed with it after found the Me Too! YouTube channel after I was pretty much done binge-watching Abadas. It quickly became my main comfort show, like if I'm not in the mood for anything else, just stick an episode of Me Too! on, there's like 150 episodes and I'm not sure if I've even seen over half of them. I've seen more MT! eps than Balamory though, probably cause it's more easily accessible. With Balamory, you gotta go on the internet archive for episodes of that. Abadas was one of the shows I distinctly remembered the intro for, though I misremembered it with Baby Jake of all shows (they came out around the same time). I went and revisited it one January day in 2023, around the time I was starting to put my Bubble Guppies hyperfix on the backseat as the show was about to end, and instantly fell in love with it. Really wish the production company behind the show didn't go bust as there was a lot of cool supplementary material with the show as well, they did a bunch of shorts on Vimeo which I happily recommend.

Eventually, I fell out of CBeebies around 2014 or so as, well, I was getting older and was ready to move on to more grown up shows (this is coming from the same kid who kept actively watching Nick Jr. well into his teenage years). But then I was channel surfing at my nan's around October 2019 or so and decided to stick CBeebies on for fun after deciding whatever was being shown on Challenge was too boring, I guess. Something Special was probably the show that launched me back into my CBeebies hyperfix, yea of all shows. Completely forgot the show used Makaton and as someone who was interested in sign language I went on a binge-spree to study all of Justin's signs. I became fairly competent at it. I got into Hey Duggee for a a bit as well, known as every parent's lifeline apparently. The game show episode is one of my favourites, mostly due to all the fun references they crammed into the episode. As a fan of the shows we people call game, it was a fun surprise. I also rediscovered some of my old childhood favourites that were still getting reruns. Swashbuckle was a bit too recent for me to have recalled watching it as a kid but my brother was certainly around for it and Tree Fu Tom, which was still rerunning at the time. Charlie and Lola still aired reruns, and back in 2019 I kinda just glanced at without much thought before realising a few years later that it was actually really good. Night Garden made me cry of nostalgia, and I also thought Baby Jake was the biggest feverdream ever conceived on television. I even was one of the weirdo's who listened to CBeebies Radio, though honestly there's no point in listening to it live as you can find all it's content on the Sounds app. Admittedly, I haven't gotten super into Bluey. Y'know, the most popular preschool show of this decade that didn't begin in this decade? Yeah I watched about 10-15 episodes of it, said "wow, this is one of the best preschool shows ever crafted", and then moved on to watching the same 40 Blue's Clues & You! episodes again. I'm sure if I force myself to binge watch it more I'll fall head over heels in love with it though. So if I haven't gone crazy for Bluey, what modern CBeebies shows have I gone crazy for? Funnily enough, two that released within the span of around 5 months. The Game Catchers was the first one I got into. I just kept binging episodes and instantly fell in love with it. Always thought the show's main concept was really, REALLY good. Teaching kids about outdoor games in the day and age of iPads is a really smart move. Don't really see many people in the fanbase yet unfortunately, it's certainly one my favourite CBeebies shows from the last 5 years. Also it has absolutely ruined me as any time I hear or say the phrase "so cute" I immediately have to connect it to Nina.

Vida on the other hand I pretty naturally got into. I checked it out, watched the first few episodes, and thought it was pretty good, but never intended it to become my next big hyperfixation. I was sooooooo wrong. I've always had a soft spot for shows with cute animals (Was a big LPS 2012 fan way back when) so naturally this was always destined to be a show I'd fall in love with. I also love all the characters in the show too. Pippen's my personal favourite, but Zigzag is a REALLY close second though. She's a cute bunny who canonically has ADHD. What's not to love.

Okay I think I've talked enough and I've been typing this out for like, 2 hours, I really need some sleep. I could talk about all sorts of other CBeebies shows I enjoy (LazyTown, Tish Tash, JoJo & Gran Gran, Carrie & David's Popshop's a more recent one I've binged from the days of old) but I've talked enough so yeah.

A tribute to CITV

Well, that's it. After 40 and a half years, CITV outright reached the end of its life on air; not with a bang, but with a whimper. No fanfare, no tribute to its past, no nods to the classics... nothing but a half-baked advert for the ITVX Kids streaming service.

In honour of the great programming it gave, I'd like to mention here my memories with the channel.

Several shows I remembered seeing while the channel was thriving included Horrid Henry, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Art Attack, Tricky TV, My Parents Are Aliens, and a few others. As a kid, I remember watching that channel a lot alongside CBBC and CBeebies, those being the pinnacle of my time with children's television.

It's a shame that CITV went out with a whimper, but we'll never forget the fond memories that we shared with the channel. Thanks for the memories, CITV.

In loving honour of Children's ITV: 1983-2023.

group project: narratives

For our narrative project, my group decided to focus on the theme “reflection of childhood.” To explore this, we created a fictional character (who we named Cat) and used our website and artefacts to represent key moments and memories from her childhood. Each of us were assigned an age bracket, and these informed the artefact we would make.

My artefact was a 60-second animation set when Cat is 6 years old. It tells a story about her getting her first pair of wellies, and I quite like how it came out. When I was planning, I took a lot of inspiration from a variety of children’s television shows – most notably Charlie and Lola (2005) and Sarah and Duck (2013). I really liked these shows for their sketchy, children’s-book style of animation that didn’t necessarily rely on immense detail to convey a message – they are very clearly directed to young children and so are simple and easy to understand. I found this important as I wanted my animation to look like something the character could have watched whilst she was growing up.

To actually make the animation, I worked in the application Procreate on my iPhone, making use of its “animation assist” function. I have used Procreate for several projects now, and have become comfortable using its interface, including importing and creating custom brushes to achieve the look I wanted. Due to my ease using the software, I really enjoyed working on this project – though I did start to feel some pressure closer to the deadline. Time management and planning are something I have consistently struggled with on big projects throughout the module, and because of this I was forced to cut corners on areas that in hindsight could have had a lot more polish, such as the section where Cat steps outside in her new wellies for the first time. For future projects, I plan to start working on them earlier so that I have time to sort through all of my ideas and storyboard, as well as try to come up with a realistic timeframe for my work. In spite of the rushed sections, I feel that once I put together an audio mix everything really started to come together. My mix is set to the background music ‘Rhytm of the Rain’ (Dinoto Music, 2023) and features a variety of sound effects from both YouTube and the website ‘Mixkit,’ and I feel like it adds a lot of heart to the piece.

Here is my animation!

The other aspect of the project I did a lot of work on was the coding. When we started, we decided that we would complete the code together, as a group, but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we missed a lot of the in-person time required to do this. Although in our last lesson we managed to do a bit of coding as a group, when I looked back at it a few days later I realised that it was quite inefficient and confusing, and volunteered to rewrite the base code, so that all everyone needed to do was add their own artefacts. In doing this I surprised myself as I learned that I actually really enjoyed coding, and the challenges it presented. With the help of the HTML section on the website W3schools, I managed to get a functional website up in about 2 hours. Although it is nothing special, and I couldn’t get certain elements like images exactly where I wanted them to be, I am proud of myself for learning so quickly, and can’t wait to continue exploring coding as I progress through university.

Here is the coding!

Here is the Website in its final form!

Overall, I am extremely proud of the work that my project group has put together. I think we all worked well as a team and were able to come up with ideas together efficiently, and everyone’s individual artefacts really lend themselves to our theme, as they are reflective of the experiences and memories of our protagonist’s childhood.
