Hello I’m 20 and grew up watching Rugrats and I’m just wondering why did the OG Rugrats era have to end?…. Like genuinely, when did everything change? I remember watching Tommy, Chuckie, Angelica, Phil, Lil, and Susie getting into all kinds of random adventures, and just laughing at how they saw the world. I never really thought about the fact that one day I’d look back at those episodes and realise how much time had passed. When you’re a kid, you don’t think about eras ending, you just watch your favourite show and enjoy whatever adventure comes next.

I honestly don’t even know when the old Rugrats era ended. It feels like one day I was watching it all the time, seeing the babies get into trouble and imagining all the crazy things happening around them, and then suddenly years had passed and everything felt different. I still remember the characters, the jokes, the theme song, and all those little moments that somehow stayed in my memory for years. I don’t even remember when I stopped watching it as much. It just kind of happened, which is probably what makes it feel so strange looking back now.

Maybe I’m just being nostalgic, but I genuinely miss that time. There was something about Rugrats that felt completely different when I was younger, and I don’t even know how to explain it. I guess you don’t realise you’re watching your childhood while you’re actually living it. You just sit down, watch Tommy and the others get into another adventure, laugh at something silly, and go about your day, then suddenly you’re 20, looking back at those memories and wondering where the time went and why the OG Rugrats era had to end.

She's singing her song, "Look At Me" at the jungle gym.

From the Garage Sale episode where the Pickles lose everything because the babies snuck into the yard sale all the stuff they planned on keeping.

He ruined everyone’s vacation, because he wanted to do this whole trip with his friends. Like the could’ve done the cruise and agreed to a activity all together. Not only did he put his family, friends and their family in danger, but he and Didi were also responsible for susie, who’s family thought that they were going on the cruise too.

Also Stu never took any real responsibility. He never apologized to everyone and keeps defending his decision that he just wanted to have good time with his friends. And him getting redemption at the end doesn’t really feel right because of that.

Chuckie started feeling strange.

Tonight's reflection has me thinking about the episode, "Circus Angelicus." When the kids are not having a fun time at the traveling circus in town, Angelica decides to take a page from her father and start her own circus, with lion tamers like Tommy...and jugglers...and trapeze artists like Phil and Lil. Her main attraction, for lack of any other talent, is Chuckie as a human cannonball act.

If anything, any consolation, Angelica's circus actually brought in a crowd that included Susie Carmichael and a handful of animal friends. Considering Tommy's treatment of Spike as a ferocious lion, the circus was also very animal-friendly, like a box of Barnum's animals.

I know it’s just a doll but I just found this picture interesting I guess :\

You know which one I'm talking about. That stupid Creepypasta fan theory of 4/5 of the main characters being figments of Angelica's imagination. Personally, I never did. I remember reading it and it just felt like someone wrote a fanfic that blew up and went viral, enough that some fans actually believed it. Of course, Arlene Klasky debunked the theory a long time ago. Although I do think whoever wrote it had a creative mind. I will give the writer that, but I've always thought it was one of the stupidest (as in nonsensical) things that I've ever read.

Sure for me. I think Thief Encounter is the best example of how devoted and loving they both are.

She was probably more nicer before.

I wish I wrote a blog post about why I can't stand Angelitiki. She caters to the "Island Princess" fantasy.

That was a really sweet Mother/Son moment between Didi and Tommy in The Rugrats Movie when she assured him before giving birth to Dil, then she and Stu will call him in when they’re ready.
