NO MORE BITESIZE!!!

There's still no sign of Scream Street, but I have some exciting news for those who are on the verge of ragequitting when they feel like it...
THERE'S NO MORE BITESIZE!!! I'm going to do a few activities in between my regular works to celebrate on that week.
Watch another video that expresses my excitement:

I.B.F.Fs: Some Guys Have All The Luck

In this short I.B.F.Fs story, Luke and I are growing steadily close to one another, and it's up to Resus and Cleo, who are narrating this story in my place, to help us say 'I love you' without actually saying it!

Try some activities from the Bluey episode the story got its name from, 'Bus':

Try some ways to say 'I love you' without even saying so by making some heart-shaped chocolates (add white fondue if you want!) and Valentines' lovenotes, which I think might be suitable for people who love their girl too.

Tired Of Ricky Wilson's Art Jam?

The Ricky we know has come to live on BBC iPlayer! The Ricky who has awesome ninja skills and shows craft tutorials in his flat while encountering surreal goings on. The Ricky who is known as...ART NINJA!
The episodes I'd totally recommend watching right now include Day Of The Lucky Trunks, which feature Ricky being invited on a trip to the beach, but he has to search for his lucky swimming trunks first. The episode even features a well timed joke involving a free elephant toy inside his cereal box! Also on the list is Day Of The Ancestor, where Ricky shows off his family tree after he is asked to be involved in a TV show exploring famous peoples' origins. This brought me to tears when I was 18 or 19, but it's still worth a watch. Finally, there's Day Of The Egg, where Ricky has nothing for breakfast until he is assigned to take care of a giant egg that randomly turns up outside his doorstep - either a dinosaur popped up out of nowhere at the Natural History Museum, or a dinosaur passed by last night. This episode has got viewers wondering who left the egg here in the first place, but I still think it's a Dinosnore.

Avoid the Art Jam and go back to the Ninja basics on iPlayer:

Me, You, And Noddy & The Magical Moondust

When magic moondust stops falling from the moon, it's up to one little furry unsung hero to save us all. Okay, maybe all of Toytown. What does Moon Milk and moondust have to do with curing illness? Find out in my new story!

After you've worked up this story, see two other Noddy adventures concerning the moon:

Nookie CBBC - Galaxy Planet Cake

The Galaxy Cake recipe you're about to make is very different from the one in the picture, especially since I first thought of the Love Monster episode Moon Cake Day as Love Monster making a chocolate cake with blue moon icing and since I'm doing a story about Furaha and Bumpy Dog travelling to the moon - Me, You, And Noddy & The Magical Moondust. You can either follow Tasty's recipe or go a different route and try another recipe with colourful bits inside the chocolate edges.

Pip & Posy

Where on Milkshake are you to find a rabbit and a mouse playing at being doctors and pirates, slurping spaghetti and sharing a bath?
Pip & Posy, my new favourite show! It's all the worth ignoring that rotten, stinking, personality-less Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol and all that other stuff like that. Pip & Posy is British-made, by the same people who did The Gruffalo and Room On The Broom, plus Zog, which I've seen before. I'm only going to see one show on Milkshake as a result - of course, that's my new favourite show, Pip & Posy. In this morning's episode, Posy forgets her special bedtime frog, but my favourite part of the episode is the montage of Pip & Posy playing together at their sleepover, doing all the things I described in the question above.

As a result, I'm adding Pip & Posy into my I.B.F.Fs stories, like in I.B.F.Fs: My Scrapbook, where I'm inspired by Pip and Posy's scrapbooks to make one of my own with Luke, Resus and Cleo.

My previous favourite Milkshake show, if you're asking, happens to be Make Way For Noddy because of how insane the animation, the characters, the music, EVERYTHING is. Why didn't I ignore Peppa Pig before? She's become an internet star as a result, almost becoming this close to being the mascot of Youtube Kids! For god's sake....

I'll tune in to see this warm-hearted show every morning at 7:45AM on Channel 5's Milkshake. In the meantime, if you want to see it yourself, watch the first two episodes on My5:

Sticks In Play Dough

One day, Muffin and I were playing with sticks and rolling them up in play dough like parcels. We then placed them under the tree for the fairies to collect to thank them for making adjustments to the Heelers' house one day in 2019. For you see, back on the 4th of April in 2019, Bandit had to perform an Irish jig to save Bingo from being frozen in time forever by invisible fairies. "Hey!" cried Muffin, "I've got an idea: why don't we let the blog users try it at home!" "Yeah!" I said, "The link should be right below us right now."

Bluey Cupcake Toppers

I just found this idea on how to make Bluey cupcake toppers starring Bluey, Bingo, Snickers and Coco, and I thought I'd like to share it with you. Make them at home if you want!

Or try them as part of a Bluey party pack!

My Animated Youtube/Newgrounds Ideas

These are just a few of my ideas for videos I'm going to put up on Youtube and Newgrounds. Someday I'll share them with you on my blog!

The Singing Music Box

Nookie CBBC - Ice Cream Headache

I know I'm ignoring CBBC at the moment because they're ignoring Scream Street, but I've always wanted to do this...
Since the Summer Camp Island episode 'Ice Cream Headache' is airing this afternoon, you can draw your own ice cream tub featuring your own special power. Maybe you could make a vanilla ice cream with the power to see into other's minds. You could make a strawberry ice cream with the power to make you unleash great dance moves. You could even make a chocolate ice cream with the power to make wishes come true!

To make that happen, first you must learn how to draw a tub of ice cream in the video below:

Animation For Autism

I've officially decided to do animated videos for Youtube and Newgrounds and for children and grownups with autism, based on my I.B.F.Fs and Me, You, And...stories. These include heartwarming animations featuring my six year old self and my friends/siblings Luke, Resus and Cleo, dramatic and powerful animated extracts from Me, You, And...stories, light-hearted skits, follow-along activity videos, animated videos where we watch other educational videos from Youtube and animated video cards people can send to others. They'll be like a mix of Eddsworld and those Warriors/Lion King animations you see on Youtube sometimes. I may need the help of the Brora Learning Centre to do this, and when I set up my Youtube channel, even with premieres of my animations, I'll make them autism-friendly by getting rid of ads...BECAUSE THEY'RE A PAIN IN THE BUM!! That's right, my Youtube channel will be ad-free, like the Youtube channels for CBBC and CBeebies. Sometimes, I wish Factory would aim for autistic people too.

Celebrating The Best Animation Studio In The UK!

I've always wanted to do this...alright, let's do it! Celebrate Factory's 10th anniversary by looking at this interesting article for one of my favourite animation companies!
