It's me and my finished cbbc show from 2011 with 12 fans against the world

I grew up watching a very specific kind of CBBC show that apparently none of my friends have seen and I think that's a fundamental part of my personality

Ending the Stuart Campbell drought

I feel like I found my new hobby (making random gif of Jack Wolfe)

What if, when you were only a few days old, your birth mother had to give you up and you were instead given to a foster family but you were taken from them as well five years later to live in an abusive institution and then got locked in an attic all day and night for standing up for your only friend but then she got taken away and you found your birth mother but then she got taken away again as well and then you got a job but your boss exploited your work and fired you after you found out and then you found your mother again but then you had to hold her as she choked to death on her own blood and then you found your father but then your foster father died and you had to return for his funeral but no one recognised you and then you ran away to the circus and then you ran away from the circus with a girl you call your sister but who you're really more like a mother to at this point even though you're 16 at the very most and then you start working in a music hall but you got assaulted by another person working there and then you got fired for being assaulted and also sort of kicked out by your landlady.

This happened to my good friend Hetty/Sapphire/Emerald Feather/Battersea/Edenshaw/Waters/Star

Mr. Stuart Campbell has possessed me body and soul, I’m gonna watch Hetty Feather for this fucking guy

Re-reading the Hetty Feather series as an adult, I would have much preferred if Jem, while really caring for Hetty, was actually lying to her and Eliza in the same way about eventually getting married. It's much more bittersweet as the actions of a boy trying to give a little girl some hope to cling onto at the Foundling Hospital, than what we get in the end which is a 19 year old awkwardly waiting for a 14 (maybe 15) year old to start loving him romantically. Jem, my guy, that's your foster sister and the last time you saw her she was 5. Wtf is wrong with you.
