3 Months Of Bluey - Relax - Part 1

FURAHA: Wow, mama! That was the most crazy experience of my life. That siren was really loud, wasn't it?

UA: Yes, little ones, but don't get too scared about it, because humans have experienced it all over the UK.

ORKO: Uh oh, I'm starting to get a bad feeling about it.

UA: Well, now that the siren thing is over, you two can go and relax.

ORKO: Aaaaaaaaahhhh...relax...my favourite word.

FURAHA: Relax? Hmmmmmmm...I wonder what we can do during that time?

(In a flower field...)

Furaha and Orko are rolling about among the flowers, smelling their fresh scents.

FURAHA/ORKO: Mmmmmmmmmm...mmmmmmmmm....ooooohhh.

(Near a honey tree...)

Furaha takes some honey from the tree's hole. She tastes it...mmmmmm, it tastes really yummy.

FURAHA: Mmmmmmmmmmm. Here, Orko, you try!

Orko tries to dip his hand into the honey hole, but BING! A bee stings him on the hand.

ORKO: Ow!

FURAHA: (giggles)

Orko tries again, and there's lovely, lucious honey on his hands. He tries some.

ORKO: Mmmmmmmmmmm...

FURAHA/ORKO: Mmmmmmmmm....mmmmmmmmmmm....oh, wow.....

While these two are at it, I'm glad to say I survived the whole siren test thingy. If you get a sudden jumpscare surprise, don't be afraid. According to the news, you mustn't be afraid. You'll probably never hear it again in your lifetime!

And because of the Bluey episode Relax, things are about to get really sensual...mmmmmmmmmm.....aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.....

3 Months Of Bluey - Exercise - Part 6

For the BBC, Hairy Jeremy was an insight into a caveman's relaxed life. Now, with another Bluey episode coming up this Sunday, I would like to introduce a sneak preview of one of my ideas, starring Furaha and Orko.

It is a hot Summer afternoon in the African jungle, and Orko is fast asleep in the warm sunshine.

ORKO: Mmmmmmmmm....aaaaaaaaaahhhhh.....

FURAHA: Orko! Hey, Orks, wake up, let's play hide and seek!

ORKO: Wha? Oooh....

FURAHA: Right, that's it, time to take drastic precautions. Here comes the tickle beast! Tickle tickle tickle tickle tickle!

ORKO: Oh sweet Lord Mufasa! Well, would you believe it, Furaha's been such a tickly little girl, wanting me to play hide and seek. Maybe later. 

FURAHA: Hey! Wait! Come back here! Ggrrrrrrrrrrr...REVENGE!

(Cut to black)

Don't worry, everything will turn out fine.

Yo next time...

We eat Relax. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.....

Told Ya!

I've finally found that the UK has a way to save people from the flashing images of He-Man. They had put up a warning before every episode on their Up On The Roof strand, so as not to send anyone to the hospital due to epileptic seizures.

"Wheeeeeeeeee!! Yeah-heh-heh, yeah! Woo! Wheeeeeeeeeee!! Yeah-heh-heh! Hey! Look at me!"

Don't mind this noise, it's just Furaha and Orko playing together. It's my idea!

3 Months Of Bluey - Exercise - Part 6

SIX: Hey, that's my name!

Pool's out, hiccups in! Due to a group of screaming kids that were in the pool, the pool was out! But! There is a ray of hope. Inspired by the hiccups I got from eating my sausage rolls too quickly, I decided to make up a story to tell to these children, inspired by the Bluey episode 'Fairytale'. The story was about Crackers, his little brother Cheese and their friend Orko (the 1980's one, not the 2002 one) helping Cringer with his hiccups, just like how Maisy helped Cyril with his hiccups when he came round to Maisy's house for lunch. I know you remember recalling joining in the actions with Maisy and Cyril to help him cure his hiccups, but I remember it too - was that ham Maisy put in the sandwiches? Kipper and Maisy's episodes about hiccups are very similar - wheras Kipper tries to get help from his friends to find some hiccup cures, the narrator helps Maisy and Cyril do some fit, active things to make Cyril's hiccups go away. Well, it IS a Nick Jr show, and Nick Jr always encourages everyone to join in!

DICK: Do we look like jokes to you?

ME: Oh! Dick and Dom! What are you doing here?

DOM: You'd best avoid Diddy TV now that CBBC's been sold to America. It should say 'Kids Watching At Home Can Join In Too'! Prrrrfff! You and your Nick Jr nonsense. No wonder you were raised by cartoon characters.

ME: That's my job.

3 Months Of Bluey - Exercise - Part 5

TOM: Sara Sara Sara...remember He Man?

SARA: He Man? That sure rings a bell. What do you mean?

TOM: The one with the little wizard guy named Orko.

SARA: Oh!

TOM: Well, I also remember when people sent fan-art of Goku and the whole gang to Toonami, so, I'm glad Sybil has sent us this fanfic of a former Toonami show for us to sing along with together.

SARA: But the last time you sang, you developed a stereotypical Italian acce-

TOM: THAT'S SHARK WEEK, YOU DUMB LITTLE FAIRY!

SARA: Okay, okay, Tom, don't be too hard on me.

TOM: Right, so, what are you waiting for? Let's read - and listen to World Lounge 2.

SARA: World Lounge 2? What does that-

(8 minutes later...)

TOM: *sobbing and crying*

SARA: What are you crying for, Tom? I didn't. It was such a beautiful fanfic,

TOM: I know, Sara, but...*sniffs*...this fanfic makes me want to leave Adult Swim and stay on Cartoon Network forever.

SARA: You're right, Tom, but with Teen Titans Go airing on the network all the time, I think you must stay on Adult Swim. The age of action shows for kids is over.

TOM: OVER?!

SARA: Now look, Tom, I can explain...

TOM: But Toonami was never meant for Adult Swim!

SARA: Believe me, Tom, I-

TOM: I want the old, British-accented Sara back!

SARA: TOM! I've never heard such an insult!

(Tom runs away)

SARA: Wait! Tom! Where are you going?! STOP! WAIT! TOM! Urgh...for God's sake.

Ua emerges into the light, singing:

UA

THERE’S NOTHING IN A FAMILY LIKE A BROTHER

AND FOR FURAHA,HER WISH CAME TRUE

A cold wind begins to blow, and the scene MATCH DISSOLVES to:

EXT. LAKE - BALI - DAY.

Beautiful, peaceful, still. Ua watches as Furaha, her daughter, runs into the lake, excited and happy, splashing about and diving under the water. She emerges, floating on her back in the peaceful water, amongst the lily pads.

UA

Dives into the water with a tremendous SPLASH!

ORKO
Wooohoooo!!

He emerges, fully clothed, and shakes water all over Furaha, who screams in joy. The two laugh happily over this, and begin splashing each other. Furaha dives under the water, and Orko searches all over for her. Furaha pokes her head out from under the water, and splashes him, then dives in the water, whale-like. This is just like the scene at the beginning of ‘The Ballad Of Nessie’.

THEY PLAY LOTS OF GAMES TOGETHER, A BETTER EXCHANGE FOR MAGIC

UA

LIVE IN PEACE…

MAAMU, IT PROVES THAT WE ARE ONE

MAAMU, WITH US IT’S SO MUCH FUN…

The Oracle, Kiburi, Ua, Alkaharif and Alarramal arrive and sing along with Ua, watching Furaha and Orko play and swim in the water.

We see the family playing in the distance.

3 Months Of Bluey - Exercise - Part 4

ORKO: Wow...the jungle. I've never been there before. Eh?

FURAHA: Wheeeeeeee!!! Come back here, butterfly! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Huh? It's Orko! My new sidekick...I want to bathe with him in milk, ocean water and Balian water. Or at least...that's what Sybil said.

ORKO: Oh sweet Lord Mufasa! I'm Furaha's new brother! A sidekick! Oh boy!

KIBURI: And just where do you think you're going?

ORKO: To meet your daughter.

KIBURI: Well, it's officially confirmed, Orko: you're joining our family at the end of Me, You, And He-Man. Ua and I have talked with Sybil and heard that she liked you in this 2002 incarnation so much, that she has thought up a few ideas about you playing with Furaha.

UA: A milk bath in a heated mansion at night, swimming in the sea at Likoma Beach, playing in a Balian lake during a musical number, wandering through a sensual paradise and even discovering the laziness of lions.

ORKO: Mmmmmmmmm...ooohhhh....aaaaaaaaahhhh....

KIBURI: Make these noises all you want, but you are no longer He-Man's sidekick. You're a Spike to Furaha's Twilight Sparkle. You are our new family member.

ORKO: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

*BOOM!*

ME: Never mind, He Man never came today but now we have lots of weird facts to look forward to.

Never Mind...

Even though He-Man has a crack in it, never mind, because instead I've got two Weird But True books to look forward too!

3 Months Of Bluey - Exercise - Part 3

Hi, I'm excited about going to Brora because I came home from my outing to a surprise email talking about my characters. Remember kids, if you've seen Roger Rabbit, you'll understand, unlike Eddie Valiant. If you want to find out more about this, then try to avoid any adders along the way, because there are loads in Loch Brora slippery-slithering around at the moment. Well, this announcement was great, and my teacher is going to talk to loads of lovely people and experts about it. If you're an expert, don't complain, I'm watching Roger Rabbit right now! Actually no, send no complaints to Furaha's mother Ua, it's what she wants most of all. Isn't that right, Furaha?

"Why did I listen to your teacher?!"

I am looking forward to this due to all my hard work, so I should be going to Brora at least...eh, 9AM on the 2nd of May. Watch out for what I'm gonna do after my BIRTHDAAAAAY! HEH-HEH-HEH!

"Will Sybil find out what the special announcement is? Find out in two weeks!"

3 Months Of Bluey - Exercise - Part 2

I feel really happy - and really exhausted. Why? Because I've had such a morning, digging into Peperami, sausage rolls and cheese and crackers. That Edam my support worker brought was really smelly, smellier than any kind of cheese! I also showed her some videos on my TV. Those included Kipper, The Lion King, Peperami and songs from The Lion King and Putumayo. I still feel a bit down and out because of what I've been through, but not to worry, I have to take it easy during the time I am going through whatever I'm going through now. My support worker wrote riddles in German in my notebook, because she called it 'special', and I put it up onto a shelf after I solved them.

Now I'm writing ideas inspired by Chinese culture and the Bluey episode 'Takeaway'. Fancy, huh? I'm still writing ideas for Orko & Me in the living room, so Sybil out!

3 Months Of Bluey - Exercise - Part 1

Hi there! The reason why I was off this whole 3 Months Of Bluey event was because of this fella:

This is Orko, and recently I've been obsessed with him because he'd make a fun new playmate for Furaha. Me, You, And He Man is starting to develop pretty well because of stories inspired by episodes of the 2002 TV series, and the hilarious old comics featuring Orko performing ridiculous tricks like doing the washing up using magic or watching his alarm clock fly by. I just love these types of comics, and watching Orko do daily tasks and at one point defeat Skeletor makes my heart flutter like a thousand Eternian butterflies. Okay, so some people may like He Man, some like Skeletor, some like Man At Arms and some like Teela, but I'd go head-over-heels for Orko, especially 2002 Orko.

Now, some of you may be wondering why I have gone off stories set during episodes of shows and films like He-Man, Transformers, Noddy and My Little Pony. Well, I'm making stories inspired by the episodes. For instance, Float Away is a song sung by Ua to Orko and Furaha about flying with dandelion seeds, and in another story, Orko seems to be raised by Furaha and her family, and he, his best friend Furaha and her parents Kiburi and Ua go on a DisneyNature-Elephant-style journey across the savannah, meeting a cub called Kwenda. There are two stories I've thought up as part of this project: Meet Kwenda, where Orko and Furaha meet Kwenda for the first time by a mud pool, and Journey Of The White Eagle, where the three friends head into the Dreamscape and see who Orko was originally meant to be, just like Nothing with Rain when they went into the Emerald Valley, and we saw Kyoga, Lite and all those lions chatting and playing. I could even catch a glimpse of little Karabi asleep with two other cubs. And whenever I listen to this tune:

I think about Orko and once I quietly burst into tears thinking about a story where Orko plays a tune to help him remember Furaha. So, all you Masters Of The Universe girl fans better remember this rhyme for when He-Man sadness strikes, and you love Orko so much:

"Masters Of The Universe

Makes your period worse and worse!"

And I also have to warn you that I am not watching my He Man DVD that's coming next month. Why? Here's the story of on why not. He-Man contains flashing images that, along with National Geographic shows like Genius By Stephen Hawking and Year Million, make me really uncomfortable. The only comfortable He Man series I find to be genuinely comforting is the original classic series, where Orko was portrayed as having a room with lots of magic tricks and toys, and in one episode he even had his birthday celebrated. I'm planning to retell it in a Me, You, And He-Man story called The Tale Of Orko's Birthday, where Prince Adam is the storyteller for this as he tells of how Orko and Furaha helped each other out of an upside down world in time for Orko's birthday. I love the Orko in the classic series, because he once magicked a butterfly, and another time the O on his cloak fell off and his reflection put it back on for him! No matter which subject I stick to, Orko will still always be one of Furaha's best friends.

So, if you manage to get affected by the flashing lights in the show, talk to a trusted friend or family member about it, or stick to an alternative like the classic He-Man series. I was also focused on how light my body was when I was sleeping, so I made an idea called 'Light Skin', where Furaha - ahem - does something I can't mention to Orko which involves paws on his back while telling him a comforting story about the safest place in Eternia, where it's Spring all the time and the smell of Spring flowers and fresh rainwater floats through the air. Such a relaxing place. I'll never forget you, Orko.

If only I could get this to work...

As for me, the Red Pandy has currently bloomed, but I don't want anyone in my life to be like Mei-Mei's mum when she finds out her daughter has blood coming out of her, and she's become a fat red panda with swirls down her arms. What do the swirls mean? Is it an ancient Chinese thing? Whatever. But according to anyone in my family, periods can make you really emotional upon finishing your countdown beverages. Anything can make you emotional when you're on a period: puppies up trees, cats in house fires, even stressful situations like making decisions. But as I said before, the important thing is to wear a comfortable pad and talk with a trusted family member about the situations you're in now. The main thing is to stay positive, hydrated and healthy during a period - even when your fat bum is on the comfy black chair for 100,000 hours.

Calypso's Lullaby

I had a dream where Calypso sung her students to sleep as if it were naptime, and then there was a Disney 100 event on Disney Channel, featuring the best of songs from Disney films, Disney Junior, Disney XD and more! Well, it is the year of Disney's 100th anniversary after all. If you feel lucky, I might just give you a hint about Calypso's Lullaby.

Calypso basically sings her students to sleep with some soothing words of encouragement like she always does, and then at one point there is a chalk drawing of a feral version of Calypso surrounded by feral puppy versions of Bluey and her friends, who are lying all around her in a typical dog way. That's what I saw in my dream, but I also saw such a wonderful sight: Bluey and her friends, living in their own miniature town! Just like in the Bluey episode Calypso...ah, happy memories...
