Without having watched Adventure Time?
Or maybe you watched up to like season 3 when you were twelve, or caught a few episodes while high in college. Regardless, you've seen images of that wet meow meow old man or the the cute sword chick or the gay vamp/sugar queen pair and you're curious. You want in, and you don't wanna slog through 10 seasons of TV first.
Absolutely valid. That said, I do think that Fionna and Cake is… nearly impenetrable if you don't have at least some grounding in the original series.
So here you go: a curated list of 19 episodes to get you more-or-less up to speed. Most AT eps are only 11 min long so it shouldn't take long to get through! And while you'll definitely still be confused about some elements in the series, i think sitting there going 'huh, wha?' is an important part of the Adventure Time experience.
Enjoy!

“I should…have been more clear when we talked about this earlier and agreed to talking during this. I liked all of the talk about how I felt, what you were going to do, what you wanted to do, and what you were going to do. I…don’t want you to degrade me when we’re together like that.” He watches as Neil wraps his arms around his middle as if to try and comfort himself.
Andrew feels like Neil has just said something in a completely new foreign language.
“Neil, what did I say that you took as me degrading you?” Andrew asks because he can’t think of a single degrading comment he’s made when they got started.

Sweet Impossible Blossom by transjorts [Rated M, 16138 Words, Complete, 2022]
“As much as Andrew enjoyed observing men partaking in vigorous activity with very little clothing on, he despised the comparisons he couldn’t help making to his own body. He couldn’t do half as much as Kevin since he refused to not wear his binder in public. The one time he’d tried to mimic Kevin’s usual routine with his binder on he’d nearly fainted, listing sideways until his body slammed into the wall. Kevin had cradled the back of his head as he dropped to the floor. That hadn’t been one of Andrew’s finer moments.”

learning to love by deadwriter16 [Rated G, 3673 Words, Complete, 2021]
Kevin Day is one of the most famous Exy players in possibly the world, so naturally people say things about him. One of the most common rumors is that he's cold, aloof, even unfeeling. And while that may be true to an extent, Kevin knows that he's become so much more. He's surrounded by family and friends who love him and who he loves back. And it's because of them that Kevin knows how to feel, how to love. Basically just Kevin reminiscing about his friendship with each of the Foxes and the people in his life, and about how he recovered and finally became part of a family.

Temperature of Healing by ReeseMH [Rated M, 5482 Words, Complete, 2024]
Kevin Day, picked up by Andrew Minyard, hand broken and eyes glossed over because he is dead. There is nothing for him, and he doesn't even remember using his good hand to dial that number, coughing up blood before he could tell Andrew where he was. He didn't even know where he was going but the lights of the highway are pretty, and even though he is dead... he's not alone for it.

Added the promised second part y’all!
this was a long undertaking but i’m beyond excited to post what i believe is the most comprehensive daemon-finding quiz to date, featuring 34 categories of animals and over 320 total possible outcomes! from insects to owls to seals to wild cats, you’re sure to find a unique result that fits your personality.
tag or comment what your daemon would be! :) mine’s a cocker spaniel!
EDIT: the quiz has two parts, the category which this post links to (34 options), and then the specific animal within that category (5-15 options) which you’re linked to once you get your result!
