Brits of tumblr imma need your assistance
I have recovered a mariana trench deep memory today of this show I watched in infants school (kindergarten to first grade for the americans). It was an animated show, either shitty cgi or claymation (not made by aardman I've checked) featuring snails that lived in a typical looking country village. It was to teach kids about literacy (most likely phonics or grammar). The teacher played it from a dvd. For added context I was in infant school in the very early 2010s. Can't find anything about it in Internet searches. Does anyone else remember? This is my clockman I gotta find proof it existed or I will go nuts

I'm looking for a show I used to watch as a kid but don't remember much
I don't remember much of it but the protagonists were some puppets and a guy.
in one episode the guy was exchanging gifts with a girl (I don't remember if it was christmas or a birthday or something but it was probably christmas) and the puppets saw that and wanted to celebrate too. but they didn't know the presents were boxes filled with things so they just made a very beautiful box for their human friend. and later they were sad to discover that they had to put something in it but he loved it anyway.
in another episode I remember for some reason their fruit had colors they weren't supposed to have and the puppets were all very confused by that.
also the scenes I remember were in a beautiful garden/balcony/outside space that belonged to a house I think and it was filled with flowers and plants and stuff and I remember that it looked kinda cluttered and had that magical vibe.
that's all I remember sorry, it's not a lot of information but if someone recognized the show pls tell me the name of it! thanks!! <3

Ivor the Engine (1959-64, 76-7)
An engine and its driver have adventures with their friends by keeping a small Welsh town running.
 As a children’s television show this one is calming and has little pressure on the narrative despite the troubles the characters have each episode. The narrator has a soft voice but also there are several amusing voices which makes them more compelling and notably the title character can’t talk but his driver, who really is the protagonist is likeable and a good example to the viewers.
 Money is made an issue in several of the stories which is bizarre since there’s a very profitable gold mine in the town that doesn’t seem to be using it for anything. As with many old series there are some unfortunate racial stereotypes but with the slight redeeming quality that they are at least sympathetic characters who are treated as valued members of the community without having to be more extraordinary than the others.
 The stories link lightly and have several kinds of arcs but the information isn’t often so vital that each installment wouldn’t work just as well on its own or together with one or two others. The messages are largely those of kindness and helping the community in which favours are done happily for free and leisure is regarded as just as important as work.
 Only certain characters in the series are aware that Ivor is sentient and others learn it and are surprised so it’s odd that the town gets so little tourism. The series was originally made in black and white then remade in colour later but the two versions are identical, although it does work better in colour, especially when the dragons are introduced.
 6/10 -Just a cut above average-

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal
before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"
and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

So, either "The expendables" should become a full CGI children's cartoon (like that dinosaur transformers show 20 years ago or 10, I dunno), or just keep going friday-the-13th-style, with Stallone as an increasingly distant sort of grandfather. He could be in a wheelchair, all old, and give advice and stuff. In the end maybe even like a legend, and nobody knows if he was ever real.

When you call "influencers" what they are, freelance marketers, it makes the phrase "mommy/family influencer" sound just as dark as it is in reality.
They are using their children to sell you things. Some of these people intentionally have children solely in order to use them as marketing devices.
They aren't harmless or wholesome. They are expanding and normalizing new and different forms of familial abuse to a worldwide audience

I was poking fun at how unexpectedly silly the CHB kids looked in armour in the first two episodes of the PJO show (acting like an almighty army and all) and then it hit me. This is exactly how some of them will look like when they will be dying in the final battle. Silly. Tiny. Literal children

i have a thought about pjo that i can't quite articulate but it goes along the lines of:
athena gave annabeth as a gift to frederick because she liked his search for knowledge. in athena's eyes, any action of annabeth's reflects herself, which is why annabeth 'embarrassing' her had such strong consequences
poseidon fell in love with impertinent, stubborn sally jackson. percy wasn't a gift to her - he is a cumulation of all of her stubborn, steadfast love.
why wouldn't poseidon still love and aid percy when all of percy's insolence is why he loved sally in the first place?

The funny thing about the PJO cabin system is that everyone's always all 'oh the twelve' this and 'the twelve' that but that's absolutely not even remotely accurate. To start, right off the bat it's thirteen, not twelve, because they don't count Hades. But not really because before Percy, there were no big three kids, so we're down to ten active cabins already but it's actually eight because Artemis and Hera don't make demigods.
And of those eight, Mr. D is stuck at camp (thus not really making new demigods all that often) and his only two kids don't even sleep in a cabin, they sleep in the Big House with him.
So, pre-Percy, there are seven active cabins at Camp Half-Blood:
Glee club, the Jocks, the Nerds, the Geeks, the Farmers, the 'Sketchy Kids' and the Popular Kids.
Or, in other words, the Apollo, Ares, Athena, Hephaestus, Demeter, Hermes (and the unclaimed kids) and Aphrodite cabins.
What's cool is that you can already see the cabin dynamics in the show. For example, the Athena cabin allies with the Hermes cabin for the numbers. The Hermes kids plus all the unclaimed kids? It's the biggest cabin in the camp by far. It's a battle strategy. Luke and Annabeth's close relationship is just the cherry on top for Annabeth. It'll be really cool to see how the show develops the differences in the cabins during the series.
