I’m obsessed with ep 15 of ohshc not because of anything that actually happens in the episode but because hikaru seems to be wearing three tank tops the whole time
Broke: I can’t imagine Percy Jackson as blonde. It just doesn’t fit his character.
Woke: Percy having blonde hair opens the door for a meta joke like Annabeth saying he’s the reason the dumb blonde stereotype exists, which fits perfectly with their early stage relationship. Also, surfer vibes.
Bespoke: Percy having blonde hair perfectly encapsulates his character because blonde hair does a thing where it significantly darkens as time passes, which is a direct parallel to how Percy gets “darker” as time passes. AND now that Luke has dark hair, Percy going from blonde to brunette will signify him becoming more like Luke, literally starting to look more like him. And the same applies if Poseidon is cast with dark hair. The change in color would symbolize Percy growing into the powers his father gave him. In this essay, I will—
With the end of Adventure Time: “Distant Lands” and waiting for the next mini-series, “Fiona and Cake”, it has comes to an realization that they’ll never be another cartoon series like Adventure Time. While many people will say that there already is like Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, The Owl House, and other shows that came out in the 2010s, but there’s something about Adventure Time hits differently that many of those shows don’t.
1) Growing Up
Adventure Time has been going since 2010 and could’ve easily become been like Simpsons and Spongebob for overstaying their welcome and gotten stale, but instead the show decided to grow, taken risk and having their characters to develop as the series went on and looking at Adventure Time Distant Lands, specifally “Obsidian” and “Together Again”, it’s clear to me it has.
Look at Finn Merten, he started out as immature adventurous boy
But in later seasons, he went through a lot such as
Heartbreak
Father issues
Losing his arm
Seeing himself die in front of him
In those experience, it allowed him to mature to be more passive than aggresive
Then in “Obsidan”, He’s more calm and chill
But what truly made me realize this is in “Together Again”, they showed Finn and Jake, who are the protagonists of Adventure Time, dead and there’s no ressurection, they stayed dead. It’s something that you don’t see in everday cartoon, most cartoons will show the protagonist older and what they’ve been doing the future, but for Adventure Time, they died.
It just shows that Adventure Time can grow, even when characters finally pass on.
2) The Land of Ooo
What the show truly sells is it out lore and how much it offers. While it takes place post apocalyptic Earth, the worldbuilding is expansive and the lore can’t even compare to Avatar: The Last Airbender, but more to One Piece. There so much that the show has explored such as
The society of humans
Elemental beings
The Crown
MOs
Kindgoms
Mother Gum
Vamps
Wizard City
and so much more
What I truly love about the series that there’s still so much to explore, espeically finding out there’s more than the Land of Ooo such as planets, and the multiverse.
3) The Many Characters of Ooo
There are so many colourful characters in the show that are quite memorable, even characters that appeared in one episode. They are even given more depth and development that I didn’t expect to see.
Cookie wanted to be a princess
Air helping BMO finding her way home
The unexpected friendship between a Snow Golem and a Fire Wolf Pup
Dirt Beer Guy (Root Beer Guy) and Cherry Cream Soda never dated before they married, so they decided to actually date and see what an actual relationship is
and there’s Cinnemon Bun that got a massive amount of development that actually from a goof in the Candy Kingdom to a royal guard for the Fire Kingdom
And there’s the character relationships that dear glob it’s amazing. Seeing characters that you don’t normally see interacting is amazing like
Ice King and Marceline, two secondary characters and creating an entire backstory that’s tragic tale.
It was clever how the writers did by showing a glimpse to their past in season 3 such as
“Holly Jolly Secrets”
and “Memory of a Memory”
Having a father and daughter relationship. It was very heartwarming to Simon has gain his sanity and visits Marceline and her bubblegum girlfriend from time to time.
4) Philosphical Messages
While there are many cartoon shows have philosphical moments like Steven Unvierse and The Owl House, Adventure Time has gone a bit deeper, making me believe that this show was than just a kid/teen show, espeically getting older.
BMO wonders if he grows up, will he remain the same or different. Will it change his body or change his soul.
Finn questions if being borin is the greatest act of creation, what you supposed to do next and what’s the point making an effort if we “blow up”.
Marceline thinks that there’s no bad people. Good people can sometimes do bad stuff and that’s bad, but if you do it once, it’s a mistake and that’s not bad
Adventure Time can really make you wonder about life.
In conclusion, Adventure Time is one of those shows that can’t be mimic for it’s heavy lore, growth in the show and characters, deep messages, and the many colourful cast of characters. Adventure Time could’ve overstayed it’s welcome and can get boring like Simpsons and Spongebob, but it mange to stay fresh with ideas and take risk and that what makes Adventure Time enjoyable.
The neurodivergent urge to do this
Dog owners please be aware.
What an autistic person says: "How long is it going to take?"
What they mean: "I want to know whether to activate my short term waiting mode where I just wait and do nothing else, or activate my long term waiting mode where I occupy my mind with something else. I fully understand that both are possibilities, and I have no problem whatsoever with either one, but I want more information so I can best adapt to the situation."
What neurotypical people hear: "I am impatient and demand that everything I want happen right now. Please scold me and publicly humiliate me for it."
thinking abuot marceline being friends with shermy and beth like she was with finn and jake oughhh

Favorite thing about the Red Note shenanigans: Mongolian ranchers suddenly gaining a rabid following of American horse girls and being like "we knew you had cowboys but we didn't know you value and love horses as friends like we do, this is excellent"
Mongolian rancher 🤝 American horse girl synergy I guess
