Begging everyone to watch Bluey

Spot the difference:
I'm not usually one to hop on a hype train (heck, most the time it seems I end up joining fandoms WAAAYY late, lol), and I'm sure I'm not the only one to say this, but Bluey, man. Bluey is fantastic. It deserves the hype.
Not only does this show flaunt gorgeous animation paired with cute, whimsical musical scores that complement the themes of the episodes, it's also smart, sweet, funny, realistic, creative, and most importantly, genuinely wholesome. Every episode I've seen so far has left me with a smile and a true warm and fuzzy feeling (and I've laughed at least once per episode too, the humor is great). The child characters act like children do in real life, and the parents interact with them in a playful and healthy way that engages their imaginations as well as teaches them important skills and lessons.
And what really stands out to me - the parents respect and actively listen to their kids, and they apologize when they are the cause of whatever issues they might be having (like when Bingo admitted that Bandit had been playing too rough with her, or when Chilli inadvertently hurt Bluey's feelings by placing a drawing of Bingo's on top of hers on the fridge). These are incredibly important aspects of a healthy parent/child relationship, and it is SO refreshing to see such instances highlighted in so many episodes. Seriously, I don't think I've EVER seen such a loving, interactive, and receptive representation of parents on... well, anything. Bandit and Chilli Heeler should win ALL the parenting awards. <3
In recent years, we've gotten a lot of animated series' aimed at younger kids and teens that adults also highly appreciate. But it's rare that a kid's show aimed at toddlers/preschoolers like this one can manage to strike that perfect balance where kid and adult viewers alike can learn valuable information and be thoroughly entertained (and get hit right in the feels every once in a while, too). Bluey manages to capture that balance flawlessly. The overall vibe comes across more like an animated film as opposed to a tv series tbh.
Anyway, Bluey is great and you should all go check it out asap!

૮꒰ྀི ´ ᵕ `꒱აつ━☆‧₊˚ A flag for those who's age regression / pet regression is somehow related to the series Bluey ! Also for those who have Bluey characters as fictional care givers.
This term might be connected to kinning a Bluey character while regressing , watching it while regressed , etc !

Young Chilli and Bandit. I do not know what Bandit was up to, but I could not help but finish painting this brazen face
BLUEY NO
this has 100% been done before
i totally half-assed the chair lmao
Those Heeler lads and their irresistible charm~
As I’m sure you’ve all (unfortunately) heard by now, Ben goddamn motherfucking Shapiro is producing a conservative Bluey knock-off called Chip Chilla, about a homeschooling family of chinchillas — starring Rob goddamn motherfucking Schneider — and I need to talk about it.
Done throwing up yet? Cool.
This is obviously disgusting for several reasons but the thing that infuriates me the most is that the dad in this rip-off is largely absent in his kids lives and development and finds them annoying. One of the great things about Bluey is how deeply the parents (ESPECIALLY Bandit) love their kids even when they can get on their nerves or aren’t as easy to manage.
I reject the notion that playing with and loving your children is weak and lame. Bluey is revolutionary in that it dives headfirst into love for one’s family and being un afraid to express it. That’s one of the most badass and radical things that can be shown in media regardless of the age demographic, especially with the stereotype of moms being caretakers and dads finding ways to shut their kids up while the game is on.
You think you’re cool for not caring about love? You think you’re breaking new ground for not listening to your kids and caring deeply about their interests?
The problem is that Bluey is a show for families, and this pile of shit excuse of an animated series is a show for parents. Because they’re scared of educating their children to be radical with love — because what if they end up loving “the wrong people?”
These people don’t want to raise kind, compassionate and and curious humans — they want carbon copies of themselves. Congratulations, you’ve completely missed the point of parenting. Have fun at the retirement home! Repression and censorship is just delaying the inevitable. It’s love that makes people. How dare you throw it away like it’s nothing.
What’s even weirder is I feel like Bluey doesn’t even have that much about it that would make conservatives raise their eyebrows? There’s no obvious political or religious agenda in any direction, there aren’t any canon queer characters yet — none of the things in modern kids’ TV that would make a right-wing dumbass clutch their pearls and say “I could never show my innocent children something so depraved!”
It’s just. A happy family. Living their lives. Loving each other. How fucking weird and sad do you have to be to look at that and be like “hmm, no, this is not the message I want my kids to come away with.”
Anyway I know I’m probably preaching to the choir, but go watch Bluey. Go watch something made by people who care.
Edit: Thank you @potato-head-kids for providing the image description.
One thing I like about Bluey is that Chili and Bluey have a close relationship and Bingo and Bandit have a close relationship
As someone who had to move around a lot cause of my dad’s job in the military, this was the episode that made The Cereal Bowl cry
