I Guess I'll Start By Posting My Favorite Piece Of The Year So Far, Just To Test. Still Don't Know What

They will never let me rest, will they? ft. Bucky Barnes || Thunderbolts (2025) Trailer

Half of me wants to see this movie because I miss Bucky so much. The other half of me wants the MCU to just leave him the eff alone.

Bluey Minisodes Minireviews: Round 3!

It's that time once again, folks! And I'll be honest, this time it arrived sooner than I thought, but I ain't complaining xD Even though these premiered on Disney+ on Monday, I am only reviewing them now because of a combination of me getting sick and needing to rest my hands a bit from drawing too much. I'm feeling better from both things now, btw! ^^

I guess these reviews have officially become tradition now. Will I do the same should more actual Bluey episodes ever premiere? Only time will tell I guess. 😬

I think there's a bigger chance that people are caught up with the new minisodes now that it's been a few days, but just in case, ⚠️ Spoilers below the cut.

🛏️ Strong Potion

As always with this show, major props to Bandit for always being such a great sport and improviser when it comes to his kids' games, not to mention the pain he's willing to endure to amuse these girls. 😅 It's honestly super adorable to me when dads play pretend that their kids are super strong and can take them down in a brawl, it kinda reminded me of episodes like "Featherwand" and "Tina" (the latter is not one of my favorites, but I enjoyed that bit more here 😅).

🪥 Robo Bingo

Bingo sure does love pretending she's a robot or machine, doesn't she? xD I mean it's the second time within these minisodes alone. But I guess kids love to play their favorite games over and over, so I'm sure it's accurate. 😅 It was pretty funny to see how specific Chilli had to get with her instructions to get Bingo to do what she needed while not breaking "character", and I appreciate that they used the "Wind-up Bingo" noise, because "Daddy Dropoff" is such a cute ep and one of my favorites, so I appreciate the callback.

The ending actually made me laugh, though. That caught me off-guard. 😂

🦜 Butlers

Episodes heavily featuring one of the character's drawing styles? I'm always here for that! 😉 There's something really fun and whimsy about them that really captures a child's imagination and how they view what they create come to life. Apparently, these butlers were voiced by popular Australian comedians, but much like 95% of the voice guest stars in Bluey, I have no idea who they are. 😅 But the gags where super fun, and these kids/writers came up with some really creative and crazy stuff for the Dreamhouse xD The bit with Harlow in the kitchen might have been my favorite, poor guy has to keep up with those crazy requests, I'd second-guess my carreer choices too buddy, I feel you there. 😂 Overall, this might have been the most fun short of this new bunch.

🪞 Where's Bingo?

This one was fine, I guess. 😬 It might have been my least favorite of this batch. Like, nothing inherently wrong with it, but I guess I just didn't find the game particularly fun or engaging, at least not to watch. It was pretty much just Bandit carrying Bingo around and pretending to look for her. It was cute though, that much it was. 😊 But it's Bandit and Bingo, so what else is new? 🤭

🐻 Goldilocks

Another Bandit bedtime story, YAY! 😆 Honestly love those, we should Bandit-fy every fairy tale in existence, just saying. 😉 This retelling might not have been as funny as the previous two (in my opinion), but it was MUCH easier to follow than "Three Pigs", which I greatly appreciate. And I also appreciate Bandit calling out how messed up it is that Goldilocks is basically a criminal and we're suppossed to be okay with that xD Old fairytales, man. Anyways, the fighting twist was funny, and I love how the kids always want to hear the story again, with Bandit always been like "Noooo I wanna sleep!", which feels super accurate. 😂

Side note that has nothing to do with the minisode itself, but "Puss In Boots: The Last Wish" might have forever altered my mental image of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, because that version of them is all I could imagine. 😅

🎻 Alongside

You all know I've been asking to see other characters featured in these minisodes since the first ones came out, and we finally got a bit of that! Sort of. It still heavily featured the Heeler fam, but it was cool to see a bit of the routine of one of the side characters for once! Honey may not be my favorite supporting character, but she's definitely a pretty underutilized one most of the time, so it was cool to get a look at how a typical day is like for her in comparison to Bluey! Honey sure is a busy bee, and also appears to be quite self sufficient for her age.

Don't know about anyone else, but I found relatable aspects on both Honey's and Bluey's side of the day xD I personally watched this one twice and focused on a different side each time, but a friend of mine told me that she was pausing and rewinding through the whole thing. How did you guys watch it? I'm actually curious. 😁

This might have been my favorite (maybe tied with "Butlers") of this bunch just because of how interesting the concept is, all the details going on in the background, and how it finally featured secondary characters. Here's hoping it was sort of a testing ground to do so with more characters that don't typically get much spotlight in the future.

Final thoughts:

Even though I do miss regular-length Bluey episodes, these shorts continue to be a fun little way to still see our favorite cartoon dog family in short and sweet, lighthearted scenarios, which as I mentioned previously and will continue to mention, is always welcome in these trying times as a fun little distraction.

I couldn't help but also notice how all the Minisodes so far have gotten grouped into "Season 1" on Disney+, and I'm assuming also in their Australian streaming service. I wonder if maybe, if they continue to make more and release them throughout 2025, those will be season 2? I guess we shall see.

Thanks to everyone who read my silly little opinions on these silly little shorts. If you've read this far, have a donut 🍩, my treat. 😉 Hope to see you all on the next Bluey!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Human Bluey and Bingo! 💙🧡🎄✨

I hope everyone is spending a peaceful time and that there's joy in your hearts. Love you all! ☺️🫶

A Fallen Comrade

Originally made these illustrations for my OCxCanon fanfic, "A Second Chance", but they also worked really well as standalone CA:TWS fanarts, and I wanted to see how this rack focus effect would look like in motion. So I made this little GIF. ❤️‍🩹

Individual images plus links below the cut.

It's been a while since I last promoted my fanfic around here. While it is an OCxCanon love story, I made a point to properly develop my character and her backstory individually and not just as Bucky's love interest, to make her interesting in her own right and to make their eventual relationship feel earned. And there's also a lot of focus on Bucky's journey of redemption and healing. And if you're like me and feel salty about canon MCU taking away Bucky's happiness and (seemingly) ignoring his redemption, and would actually like to see him get a happy ending after all the pain he goes through, this story is for you.

You can read it on Wattpad and AO3.

If you do, please leave a comment with your thoughts. I haven't gotten much feedback yet, and would love to know what other people think. It's not the best story ever written, but I'm super proud of it so far. Hopefully others can get enjoyment out of it, too. 🫶

EDIT: You can also see updates and cute art of the main couple on @/OC_RoBrooks over Instagram and Twitter.

Happy Holidays from my OC Rose Gold to all of you. Wishing you the best! 🤗💖🎄

✨💚 Wicked 🩷✨

HAPPY WICKED PREMIERE DAY! Oh my gosh, I cannot wait to finally watch this. This has been my most anticipated movie of the year and I can't believe it's finally here! What we've seen so far already looks amazing and I already know I'll just love it >w< It's gonna be so hard to wait a year for part two, but I'm hyped for that one too haha!

I of course had to draw the best witches to celebrate. The details were so fun to make. <3

Especial Día de muertos: Scitwi💜 y Flash Sentry💙🌸🌺💀

MIFTers (and Jokesters 😉) 🔧⚙️💙

This is an old artwork I did back in 2021 when the first season of 'Monsters at Work' ended, but since I didn't have a Tumblr back then, now feels like a good time to share it here for the first time!

I ADORED season 2, by the way! I thought the writing and storyline were SO good. If you love the Monsters Inc. franchise and haven't checked this show out yet, please do. You won't regret it. 😁

🎂 October 17th Birthday Girls 🎂

It's my birthday, so I drew myself with my two main OCs, who also share my birthday! (Just different years haha)

Yes, all three of us are nicknamed Ro. And they do have aspects of my personality to them. But other than that, the three of us are super different!

To those of you who don't know them, the girl on the left (red hair, piece sign) is my Equestria Girls OC, Rose Gold. She has a magical talent to see who people's soulmates are, and is a self-proclaimed matchmaker, though her confidence in her abilities may surpass her actual success range. She may or may not come off as kind of crazy sometimes, but she means well and has a heart of gold! (No pun intended)

And the older girl on the right (brown hair, in the Bucky hoodie) is my MCU OC, Roxanne Brooks, AKA Seda. As you may have guessed by her hand gesture, she has spider powers! She started off as my Spidersona but ended up becoming SO much more than that, and she has her whole story and AU that I'm currently working on publishing! (The story is fully planned out, though) She's very shy and insecure, which sometimes makes her superheroing difficult. But she's one of the kindest-hearted people you'll ever meet (as long as you don't get on her bad side or messed with her loved ones). She has had a rough life, but when she meets someone who's had it even worse, finding common ground with said person may lead to something more blooming between them (COUGH her hoodie gives you the answer, COUGH).

EDIT: I forgot to mention that her hoodie design is based off one made by an Instagram account StyledByMarvel. I'm totally in love with that hoodie and I'm not sure if they still have it in stock, but if they do, I so wanna get myself one someday TuT

You can see more of Roxanne specifically in the Instagram I have dedicated to her and the OCxCanon couple, as well as the ongoing fanfic about them! I don't have a lot of Rose Gold's lore posted as of yet, but my next post is going to be a little introduction to both her and a secret relative that she may or may not get all that well along with. 👀

So yeah, hope you don't mind this little self-gift. I've been having a rough year for a number of reason, so I wanted to treat myself a little. I hope you're all taking care of yourselves and that you'll have a great day! ♡
