Bluey Discussion: Respect in Yoga Ball (S1E16)

For the first post on this blog, I wanted to talk about my favorite episode of Bluey: Yoga Ball, season 1, episode 16. It perfectly captures what is great about Bluey’s writing and the lessons it has for parents and children. Read below for my full reading of the episode.

(Also, please note that while images are included, I won’t be doing fully detailed descriptions for them as they are only fluff and are not really related to the text. Sorry!)

how do i even explain Everywhere Everything All At Once? It’s got multiverse shenanigans, sapphics, kung fu, generational trauma, taxes, rocks, romance, sausages, immigration, laundry, ADHD, nihilism, absurdism, bagels, yin yang, existential crisis, the fear of being a failure and all your choices being wrong, coming out, acceptance, choosing love and kindness despite the coldness of the universe and it’s lack of meaning, dildos, butt plugs, milfs being badasses, girlbosses, malewives, scifi, depression, passive metaphors for suicide, mother issues, ratatouille, confetti, the IRS coming for your ass, James Hong

everything everywhere all at once is about intergenerational trauma. about depression and passive suicidality and the gravitational appeal of nothingness. about aging, getting older in your twenties and getting older in your fifties. about the specific hurt mothers can cause their daughters and daughters their mothers. about the harsh reality of the immigrant experience and the american dream. but it’s mostly about kindness and family and it’s about choosing to sit at home talking about taxes with someone who loves you, and it’s about telling your daughter that you’d choose her over the entire universe, and it’s about how even in the universes where life didn’t form, love can still exist. and it’s really all of that at once.

Everything everywhere all at once fucked me up. It hit so close to home.

The suicidal ideation in "do you know why i actually built the bagel ? It wasn't to destroy everything. It was to destroy myself. I wanted to see if I went in, could I finally escape ? Like, actually die" or just simply in "I'm tired"

Feeling like a failure, like you took the wrong decisions and ruined your life. And then the relief of hearing Joy say "feels nice doesn't it ? If nothing matters... Then all the pain and guilt you feel for making nothing of your life... It goes away."

I laughed at that 2001 a space odyssey parody and then almost cried at "you pushed your own daughter too hard until you broke her". My mother wanted the best for me but she always pressured so I linked my self-worth to my grades and now I hate myself and I hate studying. That line was too relatable man.

When Evelyn finally introduced Becky as Joy's girlfriend... It was nice to see but it hurt to see the acceptance I'll never get in my family. When Evelyn and Joy hugged at the end I cried (well. I think I already started crying before, I don't really remember when but I cried even more at that moment).

Also the please be kind speech.

Idk I just felt a lot of things and I think I'll have to watch it again.

i think everything everywhere all at once has been on my mind a lot since ive watched it. Not just bc someone was definitely on something about as strong as crack when they were working on it, but bc of how much it means as a neurodivergent asian american. i wonder how much less you would get out of the movie if you didn't understand joy's desire to go into the everything bagel. i wonder how much less you would understand if you didn't know what suicide was like. it was just. so well executed and i wanted to cry because i know what that feels like.
