I have been and will always be peak British cringe I’m sorry. I hope you no longer have any respect for me because sincerely, I do not deserve it.
But yeah, a while back, I drew Nowhere Boys to the lyrics of Dresden Dolls’ Dear Jenny. Because the song reminded me so much of this goddamn show that was fundamental to the development of my childhood brain that I drew it.
(Excuse my art still looking weird as fuck this was like almost a year ago)
I’m sorry about everything in this image. Graphic design is my passion, truly.

I loved Heartstopper season 2 but if you’re trying to tell me British school kids stayed in a nice ass hotel rather than one of these hostels where it was minimum 6 kids, random assignments and bunk beds??? Lies, slander

While the 2022 World Cup’s actual football is being distracted from in the media by major political issues, the 2006 World Cup’s football was being distracted from by WAG culture in full force.
Here are Cheryl Tweedy and Victoria Beckham supporting their other halves Ashley Cole and David Beckham on the pitch in Germany, 2006.
A tabloid paparazzi’s dream captured on a classic 2000’s camera of undoubtedly Britain’s two most famous women in pop culture.
Just a couple of weeks after this photo was taken, Cheryl and Ashley would be married, in a ceremony that saw Cheryl’s Girls Aloud band mates as her bridesmaids.

Yo can we talk about how wild British kids TV was in the 2000s?
Like for example we had this show called Raven.
The basic concept was like summer camp mixed with fantasy larping. A group of kids would compete in a mixture of physical and mental challenges.
And I'm telling you, there was lore. The guy in the photo? That's Raven. And he's tryna defeat this evil warlock or something.
So you had a group of six originally. They all had an amount of 'lives' that could be lost during these challenges. You could gain an extra life by collecting 9 rings over the course of the activities too. At the end of each day, the person with the lowest rings/lives had to complete The Way Of The Warrior.
And dude.
The Way Of The Warrior was tough shit. Like, this show had ten seasons, and only four people ever completed it. It was this crazy obstacle course that if you lost, you were out. Like, the child straight up vaporised. Raven
This was the worst obstacle like 90% of people lost here. The main rule is that you can't touch the floor.
To make matters worse you had these 'demon' monk motherfuckers.
Like they were straight up terrifying sometimes.
Mix this in with Raven in his firm Scottish accent talking about these challenges like there was genuine risk of death. Chilling.
Anyway these series ran over the course of like a month each. There was a final showdown. Never really understood what happened when you won.
But man, I was scared of this show. Like, I thought it was so cool and I wanted to do the challenges, but I genuinely had a fear of never coming home.
And this is a theme in UK kids TV? Like we had another show called Trapped where a mysterious voice lady would bully kids and laugh as they were driven to betraying their team, and then locked away in a tower forever. Like why so much child threat?
Wild shit.
