children’s shows i think the lads LIs would’ve watched
completely spontaneous also i'm like mid gen z so excuse me if that's like a dinosaur now
wonder pets
caleb: that little plane thing they get in would’ve astounded him. also would’ve used “what’s gonna work? teamwork!” on mc
sylus: would have seen them helping animals in crisis and vowed to do the same
xavier: prefers linny and tuck but has a killer ming ming impression for some reason
little bear
zayne: perfect neurodivergent safe show
rafayel: in my head he found the art style and natural landscapes much more artistic and sophisticated than the shows where the main character is just a stick figure with crayon over it
sylus: i just feel like the animals would have calmed him. since he’s so strong as an adult in some ways he would have also been a little bear
max & ruby
zayne: max reminded him of himself bc he didn’t talk a lot
xavier: max reminded him of himself bc his voice wasn’t very loud
caleb: didn’t care for the show that much but once made mc ruby’s pink cake with sprinkles on it because she loved it so much
little einsteins
sylus: imagine this is his introduction to music and he just fell in love. still uses vocab he learned from the show to describe songs
xavier: space
caleb: rocket
wow wow wubbzy
rafayel: rage quit the game where you play as wubbzy and go to atlantis because he kept running into the spiky things
sylus: between widget and walden he would’ve nerded the fuck OUT
caleb: similar to sylus. i think they would’ve thought widget was the coolest rabbit engineer thing ever
bubble guppies
rafayel: self explanatory
i did not actually watch this show. but i couldn’t leave it out
oobi
xavier and zayne. i have no explanation
zoboomafoo
sylus: i keep sticking him everywhere with animals but i truly believe he would’ve eaten this up. until he realized zoboomafoo was fake. then he would’ve been mad
caleb: i think the adventure and fun facts would’ve easily roped him in. also treated the kratt brothers as positive male role models bc he had 0
'Everyone here showed up in pairs. Is there anything to boast about when I see happiness that doesn't belong to me? I decided last year that I wouldn't show up this year.'
'But you're here now. It's because this year is different from before, right? Because this year, I'm here with you.'
