This scene is so interesting, and it really shows the (clear) parallels of blood being the alcohol equivalent. I follow the headcanon that Vlad had some sort of blood addiction after his early transformation (and has since forgotten this) and therefore blood to him is forbidden in his mind for various reasons, but subconsciously he quickly takes to it again.

It also shows how depressed and angry with the systems of his unlife he is, better than any other imo. I also get the feeling - though it definitely wasn't shown in canon - that this wasn't the end of him drinking blood, at least for the rest of S4 and the fight with Elisabeta. And then once he leaves to travel for the first time, his mindset is changed and he's out of the horrible restrictions for a while.

i'm just rewatching young dracula episodes right now and i just watched s4e8. the end scene of vlad sat in front of the fireplace swigging from a bottle of blood whilst being filled with self-loathing is so precious to me. i really wish that his struggle after was explored in more depth other than the odd clip of him sniffing a bottle and putting it down again. i know it was a kids show but moments like this just make me wish this show explored topics in more depth than they did

It's me and my finished cbbc show from 2011 with 12 fans against the world

[pleasewriteusernamehere]

average episode of british children’s television

[ebenelephant]

still stuck on dennis whitaker being played by the guy who played vlad dracula. true to casting that man is ageless bc he still looks like a teenager despite ostensibly being 34.

The mermaid girlfriend and her wolfblood boyfriend

a concept I thought of because I love obx, h2o and CBBC's Wolfblood 🤧

(if you've never watched Wolfblood, all the episodes are on YouTube. GO DO IT!!)

I don't know what's weirder… My obsession with an old british puppet-animated show, or my first SHH "fanart"...

[rhydianbites]

[purplespookybatx3]

[unhingedlesbear]

Sometimes I just need SOMEONE else to be from the UK and understand what I'm on about when I talk about Wolfblood, Hetty Feather and The Next Step (My childhood)

Like come on guys... CBBC was peak (None of you know what I'm on about)

I watched @quinton-reviews 's new video and I wanted to do my set homework and come up with my own dream Nicktoons Unite team, except I never had any of the american channels growing up and I'm not familiar with a lot of these shows.

But nevermind, I came up with a compromise. Here's my concept for if they did a Nicktoon Unite style game but with CBBC and CBeebies characters:

1) Danger Mouse: reboot DM in particular is the obvious pick to replace Jimmy Neutron in this lineup. He's already dealt with cross-universe travel and portals in canon, and he has Professor Squawkencluck, who already just invents whatever device the plot requires. He's both practised enough at saving the world to be believable in these situations, while still being incompetent enough to need help from the others. Plus it'd be fun to see how his massive ego would react to these other guys.

2) Victor from The Secret Show: the most niche pick here, but come on. He's literally a secret agent. I'm not going to leave him out. (I dithered over whether to include Victor or Anita since I could only pick one. I chose Victor not because I'm sexist but because I just really want to hear Danger Mouse deliver the "Victor! Are you still alive?" line.)

3) Postman Pat: Now I know this looks like an insane choice. I know that making a postman fight baddies in life or death situations is ludicrous. But listen. Postman Pat: The Movie did it first. Blame them, not me.

4) Dennis The Menace: People who've never read The Beano might think that an un-superpowered 10 year old boy would be way out of his depth on a team with three adult men, two of whom literally fight evil for their job. But people who have read The Beano know that in canon Dennis has already thwarted alien invasions, travelled through time many times and dealth with the ramifications of changing the past AND avoided being beheaded, fought killer robots and man eating plants and sea monsters, toppled multiple dictatorships, got the British prime minister arrested, and fought climate change by going directly to the source and tearing down the factories. Whatever these games could possibly throw at him would be just another tuesday for Dennis.

5) Tiny Clanger: she's kind of the Spongebob of the group, both in the sense that high stakes situations and saving the world are really not what she usually does, but she would if she had to, and in the sense that she'd be the heart of the group. DM, Victor, and Dennis are all kind of self-centred assholes at heart who only save the world because no-one else will, and Pat is a middle aged British man (and therefore emotionally repressed), while Tiny Clanger is unfailingly loving, and kind, and friendly, and empathetic. Also her best friend in the world is a large metal bird, and I think Tiny suddenly riding around on the Iron Chicken would be a really cool power up for her.

Traitors works because it hits the CBBC generations craving for overly dramatic gameshows

22 January 2011. Horrible Histories wins the 2010 British Comedy Award for Best Sketch Show. The first time a children's show had won a British Comedy Award.

"...it is still, at heart, a kids show, so if you're not really, really happy for us, that's the same as punching a baby!"

What i think it would be like if Maud Pie was a cast member in 2002 Cbeebies show Balamory

[ebenelephant]

literally no character has ever needed to say "fuck" more than rhydian morris. i'm begging you, look at him, the man swears fluently and he desperately wants to.

[foolishhitt]

does everyone (mainly late 20/early 30 year olds (also maybe UK only idk if it showed elsewhere)) watching The Pitt know that Whitaker was in Young Dracula where Gerran played Vlad, Count Dracula’s son, and he and his family move from Transylvania to Wales

because when i was young i was OBSESSED and i’m glad he’s back on my screen

[gabirox]

girlhood is thinking about young dracula a bit too hard when you're out of academia for the first time in your life and starting to write an essay on ingrid because you don't know what else to do
