The little girl with the hat!! I used to watch her cartoon so much!! What's her name?

This one?

She's Madeline!

A cartoon based on a children's book series about a little girl that lives in a house in Paris that's covered with vines. It's an adorable show that I used to watch with my siblings all the time, and I still have most of the songs memorized word for word! 😅 

They're remarkably catchy, and the show has a charm that sticks with me to this day.

There is this anime movie I've only watched once in my life but that lives rent free in my head ever since, and that was like 5 years ago.

So basically is about the MC (no idea if they were a boy or a girl) who has a... i think at the start they were friends but there were romantic intentions.

So the MC's love interest takes them to meet their family wich is composed of many different and colorful characters and they live in this old classic japanesse home. Also there's some subplot about some kinda metaverse thing and things happening there, and I distinctly remember one of the family members was a younger girl that was in a closed dark room with a computer and some fans/other cooling device.

One of the family members was a firefighter or paramedic, maybe there were two different characters idk.

So this uncle/distant relative comes with some kinda of legal fuckery to take the family home for himself out of spite 'cuz he's kind of an asshole and nobody likes him.

Remember that subplot about the metaverse?? Well it comes somehow (a huge part of the plot is blurred or gone from my mind) and so the MC, the younger computer girl I mentioned and I think the love interest too had to beat up some kind of virus or hacker wrecking havoc in there, and also the family has to get fans and coolers and such things to keep up with the super computer they are using for that.

In retrospect maybe the uncle/other relative wasn't trying to do anything bad and was just kinda around but nobody liked him, I don't remember wich one was it.

Also I distinctly remember it was not from Studio Ghibli. There's a movie on netflix wich is about some kind of digital world too but is about something different and the artsyle is different from what I recall too.

So that's that, it bugged me a lot back then that I couldn't remember it, specially since other movies like Kiki's Delivery Service or The Return of the Cat I did found out (both those two, and Spirited away I distinctly recall beign aired in the same channel back then).

I know my following is little but if anyone got any lead I'd be the most grateful girl ever.

Hey, does anyone else here owns the Jackie Chan Adventure magazines? You know the ones I am talking about.

I am asking because in France they were translated and sold... up until issue 52 or so I think? I need to check, but basically they stopped due to low sales... and I discovered only much MUCH latter that the magazines in fact had gone on and covered the entire series. 

So... any fellow JCA fan around?

Meaningful Childhood Media: a Reflection

The ocean and I have always had a love-hate relationship. From a young age I was obsessed with the water, from swimming classes to lakeside day trips, I simply couldn’t get enough, my fingers in a permanently wrinkled state. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly where things went wrong but if I had to guess I would blame the Persian New Year. Every spring I was allowed to choose out a half a dozen live goldfish from the store to bring home and display on our Haft-Sin. As per tradition (which no family member could explain) the goldfish is meant to do a little roll at the beginning of the new year. And roll they did… I witnessed an insurmountable number of goldfish pass in varying degrees of horrific ways from slow fades to suicidal leaps onto the living room floor. Before I knew it I had developed a fear of goldfish which slowly but surely evolved into an irrational fear of all fish. I stopped eating fish, I stopped walking by the fish sections of pet stores and I forced our family to switch to plastic fish for our traditions. What I couldn’t shake however, was my fascination. 

A traditional haft-sin table setup

I remember the day we downloaded netflix. It had become available to stream on the Wii in late 2010 (Nintendo) and I, aged 8, convinced my mom that it was absolutely necessary. I was told we would only have it for a month, meaning as long as it was free to us. I don't remember what options were available to me at this time but being a little water obsessed kid I was drawn to two particular shows which some could argue represent the two ends of the media spectrum: H2O: Just Add Water, and River Monsters, both of which as their names imply were ocean related. 

I consider H2O: Just Add Water one of the most influential shows of my childhood. H2O tells the tale of three Australian teens who unknowingly find themselves cursed with the ability to turn into mermaids. Cleo, Rikki and Emma were forced to navigate their highschool years without ever touching a drop of water which as you can imagine put them in plenty of high stake situations. Situations that I would recreate both alone and with friends. This show provided us with endless hours of imagination fodder both in and out of the pool. This was a show that all my female friends and I watched avidly, but my friends didn’t all have netflix so it became a show that they would come over to watch. My permitted screen time was restricted to two episodes a day so the selection of which episodes we would watch would become colourful debates in themselves where we would discuss the show in depth and advocate for our preferred storylines. 

Just three mermaids hanging out

My minute amount of screen time paired with the fact that we were one of the few families I knew to be subscribed to an SVOD makes me believe my parents were better off than they let on as both are common traits of higher income families (Rideout et al.)  which is probably why they let us keep Netflix after that first month.

On the other hand, my parents have a small friend group of three couples that they’ve had long before me that all together managed to produce a sum total of six children, all roughly the same ages. Within this group I sadly found myself to be the only girl. Growing up with a group of boys at arm's length played a heavy influence on the type of media I was exposed to. While my school friends would come over to watch fairy cartoons and mermaid shows the first thing the boys convinced me to watch on netflix was River Monsters. River Monsters hosted by Jeremy Wade was not nearly as terrifying as the name suggests but still a complete 180 from the content I would have chosen for myself. River Monsters was a docuseries which followed host Jeremy Wade as he travelled around the world to remote locations where legends of river monsters prevailed. He would then interview locals about recent incidents and anecdotal experiences with the supposed monsters and would explain the potential species who could be responsible. As scary as this sounds Jeremy Wade is a lovely man who treated every case gently and worked hard to demystify these “monsters” with a sense of positivity I could only hope to one day achieve. Watching this show on an SVOD again played a huge role in how we consumed the material. The eldest of the boys would get to pick which episode he found most intriguing and we were all made to watch it. 

Jeremy taking a dip in a piranha infested tub to prove their innocence

While this show may have had less impact on me socially, as my school friends were far from interested, it did start me on a path of being very interested in biology. When I tell people that I like this show they often feel the need to blame it for my Ichthyophobia, however I would argue that it serves more as a form of exposure therapy. My mother in particular was adamantly against me watching the show as she considered it “not for kids”. This always confused me because my parents would allow me to consume a great deal of heavier topics so long as it was served in cartoon form, like the movie, Grave of the Fireflies which my mom brought home from the library one day having not checked the rating or synopsis, or Coraline which I was dragged to see against my will. I soon learned that what my parents perceived to be appropriate was based on “their view of childhood, rather than what children would choose themselves" (Steemers) which to them meant I was to be watching animated features. While these shows are clearly marketed to vastly different audiences I enjoyed them equally and consider both to have had great impacts on my life. I do believe that they’re not as opposite as some might believe, afterall, being a teen mermaid is pretty much as scary as swimming with piranhas. I think another interesting thing the two shows have in common is their accents. River Monsters was filmed largely in South America and H2O was filmed in Australia so I got to hear the classic Australian as well as British (Jeremy’s accent) accents on a day to day basis. Both shows gave me a glimpse of what life was like in other parts of the world which in river monsters often looked very different from my own. Television is a great resource for children such as myself to be exposed to other cultures, giving me a chance to reside in what Marshall McLuhan would call a global village (Lemish).

hey btw before you start being angry at the 10 year old sephora kids and the ipad kids, remember that we should feel bad for them. because the world has failed them. it is not these kids faults that the world is so focused on materialistic things and that their parents don't know how to talk to them. that is the fault of social media and bad parenting. i said what i said.

#luc posts #like i genuinely feel so bad for the ipad and sephora kids bc they just... didn't get on childhood #they were raised on false beauty standards and having a screen shoved in their faces & i think that we as a society need to reflect on that #like i am quite serious when i say that it is unrestricted internet access and generational trauma that have caused this #seeing those seven year old girls doing their skincare and mascara makes me want to cry bc how did we fail them this bad??? #they should be having a childhood but they're being forced to grow up too soon #im saying all this as a sixteen year old it would genuinely be better if young kids and teenagers weren't exposed to the toxicity of insta+ #+and other social media bc it does NOTHING but put bad ideas in their heads and give them bad self esteem

Alex Albon for High Performance

It was this weird thing, because — for example with Yuki, I wanted to take his seat! He was a potential candidate that I could replace. And I remember having that chat with Helmut Marko, and he told me at the time, "You need to driver-coach this guy." And I was like, "I'm not going to. That's a potential seat." And he said, "No, he's already signed. He's guaranteed." So I was like (throws hands), "Okay, fine. Then I'll help him."

#alex albon #* #so many good quotes in this.... saying he only developed his competitive drive upon losing his childhood privileges amongst them #the continuous professional struggle against natural temperament & symptoms of empathy & selflessness truly gets me every time #alex's propensity for self-dissection but also his simultaneous understanding of the drawbacks of such awareness 😵‍💫 #also #it is interesting that finally having his support systems in place and being the most mentally resilient he's ever been in his career #unintentionally stressed logan's rookie environment and replicated the media scrutiny & narratives he underwent his 2nd year with max #i will stop but..... alex albon i adore you

finn’s relationship with the ice king makes me crazy also like

when finn sees those old tapes and has the realization that… he was human, like him. and he lost everything and now he’s just sad and lonely

and slowly, he starts treating ice king with more sympathy and calls him “simon” …. aaaahhgggg

i just love adventure time so much i’m so glad they allowed these characters to grow and develop instead of keeping it episodic. i’m so glad that every season it just keeps getting better, and doesn’t disappoint. thank you adventure time holy shit

#just thinking about how adventure time was my first EVERYTHING #i’m so grateful to have had it be part of my childhood #it shaped the way i see media and i’m so happy for that #at #adventure time
