Okay, so we all know that the Teletubbies are a tight knit foursome. They don't fight, they just chill on their mounds all day, except for when they want to watch thirty minutes of Antiques Roadshow on one of the group's tummy TVs. But the thing is, I don't think they'd all accept me into the group if I was to visit their beautiful green hills. This is how I think the dynamics would work out if I, a normal adult woman, became involved in the social landscape of the Teletubbies.
Dipsy
Dipsy is a wild card. A real crazy guy. I think he would test my limits with some playful ribbing, which could escalate into a situation approaching tense. But ultimately, we would certainly become firm friends. I know this because Dipsy's hat is so cool, and there's no way someone with a hat that cool would commit to cruelty against me, long-term.
Tinky Winky
I believe Tinky Winky would hit me with his handbag - big time. Not maliciously, really, but just out of a sense of excitement. He wouldn't know what to make of me, so like a dog reacting with unconrollable madness when an unknown person passes through the doorway, Tinky Winky would begin a campaign of gentle violence. But this, of course, would bond us instantly. Especially because he's my favourite one.
Laa-Laa
I think Laa-Laa would struggle with the addition of a gorgeous, carefree woman like myself to the group. In a sense, Laa-Laa is the most feminine and the most unassuming of the Teletubbies. Her thing is just being cute and giggling. But then I'd arrive, letting out all of my big womanly laughs at all the Teletubbian antics, and she'd feel perturbed. She'd try not to show it, but we'd all know.
Po
Po is a sweetie, and wouldn't do anything to me, but she would slightly resent that I would immediately rise above her in the Teletubby hierarchy even though I'm not a Teletubby and am in fact just a normal human woman. She'd just make a few grumpy noises now and then to get it out of her system, and then everything would basically be good.
To a tellytubby a human woman would most resemble the life giving sun diety which rises every morning bearing a human face. In a world only occupied only by a singular machine and fellow television clad cyborgs you would appear as a pure fleshbound envoy of God.
ReplyDeletePo, being the smallest, is the group attack dog. She would hit you in the shins with her scooter
ReplyDeletetinkiwinki is my favorite too.
ReplyDeletethis is a very fun post, i guess i never thought about how my personality would fit with each of them but tonight i will, probably until i fall asleep
I guess he's not a tubby but what about noo-noo? he was always my favorite
ReplyDeleteI think u would be at the bottom of the Teletubby hierarchy and they would all bully u relentlessly; constantly shoving u in the tubby hallways and stealing ur tubby toast. Then 10 years later there would be a Netflix documentary where u have a pixelated face crying about it.
